Misletoes
While everyone gathered around Jessica to see her ring, her father tapped her and said, "Jessie, can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure, daddy." She smiles.
They sit together on the porch and Albert says, "Congratulations.. You're getting married." He smiles.
"Yeah!" She chuckles.
"Daniel's a good boy. I gave him my blessing, a while ago actually.. But when he decided on asking you to marry him, he came to me again and asked for your hand. I trust him, and I trust that you two will be amazing parents."
"Thank you, dad."
"You both are welcomed to stay here for as long as you need to. I would like it if the both of you remain in school and both attend college. You're a smart girl, Jessie.. You can go far."
Jessica smiles and he wraps his arm around her.
"I love you, baby girl."
"I love you too, daddy." She lays her head on him.
"My baby girl is engaged... She has two little girls on the way. How did my princess grow up so fast?" Albert thinks to himself as he holds his little girl in his arms.
***
A week later.
"Danny! Put your hand here! Hurry!""
Danny quickly ran over and put his hand on her stomach.
"Can you feel it?"
Danny's eyes light up and a bright smile appears on his face.
"Do you feel that?" She giggles because by his expression, he can obviously feel it.
"I do! Hah.. Oh my gosh! That's the.. That's our babies?"
"Well one of them at least. Baby A is kicking a little, but I think baby B thinks my uterus is a punching bag!" She laughs.
"She's the wild child, isn't she?" He chuckles.
Jessica laughs and says, "I think so!"
Danny stays there with his hands on her stomach, just amazed at the feeling.
"These are my girls! I helped you make these!" He laughs.
"Yes you did, baby!" She laughs and runs her hand through his hair.
"I'm holding all three of my girls right now!"
Jessica laughs and says, "Yes you are!"
"I love you, baby. I love you so so much!" He grabs her and kisses her over and over again.
"I love you too, Daniel!"
He pulls away and just smiles at her.
"God you're gorgeous!"
"Oh Danny!" She smiles and turns her head.
"No Jess, you really are. Here, sit. Lay back, put your feet up and relax." He guides her to the bed.
"Honey, I'm fine."
"No, I want you to relax. You're making babies, you need some rest! Do you need anything? How about a foot rub?"
"Well that sounds nice." She smiles and scootches down to make herself more comfortable.
Danny rubs her feel and watches her until she falls asleep.
He covers her with a blanket, then kisses her forehead and whispers, "I love you."
"And I love you two, my little beauties." He kisses her bump, then pats it and shuts off the light so she can get some sleep.
***
20 weeks pregnant.
"Danny!" She screams.
"Yes, baby?"
"I hate you!"
"Why?"
"Because I already can't breathe and I still have twenty weeks left. Twenty long weeks, Daniel!"
"Oh sweetie, you're doing great! Maybe it's the way you're sitting. You're slouching, so obviously they're both gonna be scrunched up in there." He grabs her arm and pulls her up.
"Now just relax."
"I can't relax, I have to study for that stupid test we have tomorrow." She says before she starts whining and rubbing the top of her stomach.
"Pregnancy and high school don't mix well together!" She slouches back down.
"I know it's hard, sweetheart, but just stay calm. I know you're uncomfortable.. And I know you don't want to hear this, but... I've heard this is the most relaxing stage of pregnancy, so just try to be more... Umm.. Well, just try to be happy."
Jessica gives him an evil look and doesn't say a word.
"Don't be mad, I'm just saying."
"Shut up and make me a sandwich."
"Yes ma'am." He stands up and walks to the kitchen.
Jessica sighs and Jane walks in, "Hey fatty!" She smiles.
Jessica gives her a look and Jane says, "Ohh! Rough day?"
"Yep."
"Awe, I'm sorry sweetie. Is there anything I can get you?"
"No, I'm okay.. Thanks."
"No problem. Hey, when does Danny leave?"
"In two days."
"You're gonna miss him, huh?"
"Yeah.. I will. I do love the big goof!" She smirks at him as he walks in an hands her, her food.
"Me?" He smiles.
"Yeah you, you dork!" She crinkles her nose.
Danny chuckles and leans down to kiss her lips.
"Eat up and make those babies fat!" He rubs her belly.
"How about we make them good and fat after they come out?" Jessica chuckles.
Jane laughs and says, "I can't believe you're gonna give birth! I mean, you hated getting stitches that one time, remember?"
"Yes, I remember that, Jane!" She gives her a look.
"Aw, Jessica you're gonna be great!"
Jessica looks down then back up and says, "Alright, I don't wanna think about it anymore! Everyone shut up!"
"Awe Jess, it's fine! Everything's gonna go smooth." Jane smiles trying to calm her down.
George walks in and asks, "What's gonna go smooth?"
"Jessica giving birth."
"Ew!" He laughs.
"George!" Jane yells.
"I just can't picture MY big sister laying there with her legs spread and a doctors head between them as she's going, "Ahhh!! Someone get these fucking things out of me!!! HELP ME!!!!" He laughs as he throws himself on the ground and imitates what she'll be doing.
"George!" Jessica yells.
"What?!"
"MOOOOM! GEORGE IS BEING MEAN TO ME!" She screams so her mom can hear her.
"George, get away from your sister!"
"No! Hit him, mom!"
Dorothy walks in and says, "I'm not gonna hit him! What's going on?"
"They're talking about me giving birth and I just don't want to think about it!" She starts to cry.
"Oh Jessie!" She walks over to sit beside her and holds her close to her.
"Jess, it's normal to be scared to have a baby. Especially your first. You're so young and you're having two babies, it has to be even scarier. But sweetie, I know you, and I know you can do it. I'll be there with you the whole time if you want me to." She looks at her and smiles.
"Yes! Please! I need you in there because I'm scared, mommy!" She says as she starts to cry again, then lays on her chest.
"Awe sweetie, don't cry! You're gonna make those babies upset. They can sense when their momma is sad." She rubs her back.
Jessica cleans her face and tries to stop crying.
"You feel better?"
"A little bit... I love you mom."
"I love you two, Princess." She smiles an gives her another hug.
"Now for some happy news! I just got off the phone with the wedding shop, and we can head over there anytime today!"
"Really?!" Jessica smiles and her mood completely changes.
"Yeah! So go get ready and you, me and your sister can go."
"What about Sarah?"
"Of course! We can go pick her up on the way." She smiles.
"Yay! Oh, I'm so excited now!" She stands up and bounces up and down.
***
When Jessica came back down stares, Danny was watching football with her dad.
"Baby, I'm leaving." She says as she leans over the back of the couch.
"Well come here! Come sit between your two favorite guys." He pats the seat between him and her father.
She sits down and Albert smiles, "Hey princess!"
"Hi daddy!" She smiles.
Danny wraps his arm around her and kisses the top of her head.
Suddenly Danny and Albert both start yelling at the tv. Jessica jumps and covers her ears.
"Are you kidding me?!" Danny yells.
"I know! That fucking moron!" Albert says in a loud voice.
Jessica puts her hands on the sides of her stomach and says, "I think they heard you!"
"Are they moving?" Albert asks.
"Yeah! A lot!" She laughs.
Danny puts his hand on her stomach and raised his eyebrows, "Man these girls are strong!"
"Jessica giggled, then looked at her dad, who was just looking at her stomach.
"Did you wanna feel, dad?"
"Hm? Oh! Yeah! Of course!" He smiles and slowly puts his hand on her stomach.
"Wow!" He smiles, then takes a deep breath.
"Those are my granddaughters in there!" He chuckles.
Jessica smiles and nods her head, before he says, "I'm gonna be a grandpa!"
"Mhm!"
"That's crazy!"
Dorothy walks in and sees both of their hands on Jessica's belly.
"Petting time?"
Jessica rolls her eyes and laughs, "No! The babies are moving all over the place right now!"
"Let me feel!" Dorothy runs over to her.
"Awe! Grandma loves you two! I am going to spoil you two rotten!" She says before kissing her stomach multiple times.
Jessica laughs and says, "Alright, let's go!"
Dorothy takes her hand and gently pulls her up.
"I'll see you later, baby." She bends over to kiss Danny's lips.
"Bye baby. And bye my babies!" He rubs her belly, then grabs the sides and kisses it.
Jessica giggles, then goes to tells her dad bye, "Bye daddy!"
"Bye princess." He smiles and kisses her cheek.
"Don't worry about the price, my little girl is only getting married once, and it's gonna be big." He hands Dorothy his credit card.
"Awe, daddy! I don't need a big wedding!"
"Oh yes you do! I'll settle for nothing less for my princess!"
Jessica smiles and hugs him, "Thank you, daddy!"
"My pleasure, Princess." He rubs her back.
***
Dorothy pulls up in Sarah's driveway.
"Sweetie, you wanna go knock, so she knows you're here?"
"You want me to walk?"
"Is that a problem?!" She laughs.
"Just honk!"
"No!"
"Oh my gosh!" She reaches over and honks the horn, then sticks her head out and yells, "Sarah! We're here! Get your ass out here!"
"Jessica!" Dorothy hits her arm, then says, "Jessica! What if her mother hears?! What will she think of me?!"
"What will she think of you? Hah! Mom, you're too into yourself!"
"Jessica Phyllis Lange!"
Jessica smiles then looks out at Sarah who's walking towards the car.
"Hey Sar!"
"Hey Jess! Are you excited?!"
"I am!"
"I can't believe you're getting married!"
"I know, it's crazy!"
Sarah says hello to Jane and Dorothy, then looks at Jessica's Christmas themed shirt and says, "Oh my goodness, that is too cute!"
It was a black shirt with two sets of little feet on it that said, "Mistletoes"
"Thank you!"
"How have you been feeling? Are they moving around more?"
"Oh yes! They were wild just before we left the house. My dad and Danny were watching the game, they screamed and the girls went crazy!" She laughs.
"Aw, that's cute! So their kicks are that strong already, that Danny felt them?"
"Yeah! I've been meaning to call and tell you, he felt them a few days ago. Sarah, it was the cutest thing! He's adorable!"
"Awe! He's gonna be such a good daddy!"
"Yes he is!" Jessica smiles.
***
Jessica picks out a few dresses, but before she tries them on, she tells her mom, "Mom, I know this isn't how either one of us pictured this moment being. Me being seventeen.. Pregnant.. Big and fat in a beautiful White dress!" She chuckles and looks down as she rubs the top of her stomach.
Dorothy taps her arm and says, "Sweetie, don't worry about that. No matter how old you are, or how many pounds of baby you gain, you will be a beautiful beautiful bride."
"Thank you. *Smiles* When I pictured my wedding, I thought I'd wear a skin tight white wedding dress that would hug every inch of my curves.."
"Well you can still have that! The curves are just in different places now." She smiles and runs her fingers in a fast motion on the side of her stomach, making her laugh.
"... Now come on. Let's go find a wedding dress." Dorothy smiles and grabs her hand.
