The next morning Danny got up early before his parents got to the house to pick him up.
Jessica laid on the bed and watched Danny get ready.
"You okay, babydoll?"
"Mhm."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Danny!" She gets irritated.
Jessica covers her face with the blanket and starts to cry.
"Oh Jess baby, it's only for one week!  Don't cry!" He walks over to her.
"But I don't want you to leave me!"
"Honey, I'm not gonna leave you!  Why would you think that?"
"It's these stupid reams I've been having!"
"You dreamt I left you?"
"Yes!  This pregnancy is making me have horrible and extremely vivid dreams, Daniel!  I hate it!  They feel so real!" She cries.
"But babydoll, they're not real, sweetie." He wipes her face and holds his cheek in her his hand.
"I know..." She says in a low and sad voice as they hear Dorothy say, "Daniel, your parents are here!"
"Oh!" Jessica whines and starts crying again.
"I'll be right there Mrs. Lange!"

"Jessica, don't do this, sweetie!  Please don't be sad.. I hate to see you cry.  Besides, you'll have a little piece of me with you every single day... Actually two small pieces!" He chuckles and rubs her stomach.
Jessica lets out a small chuckle and says, "Yeah... You go ahead and go have fun... Just not too much fun!" She smiles with her red puffy eyes.
"Well how can I?!  baby, it's not gonna be any fun without you!" He grabs her hand and kisses it.
She gives him a small smile before he says, "Alright, I have to go.  You girls behave yourself!"
"We'll try!"
Danny chuckles and gives her a kiss.

"Bye bye my two little sugar plumbs!" He kisses Jessica's belly.
"Be good and daddy will buy you a present!" He taps her stomach.

Jessica threw her short black silk robe on and walked downstairs to see him drive off.
Danny locked his hands around her and laid his hands right above her butt.
He looks down at her and says, "Just seven days!  We can make it, can't we?"
"We'll be okay." She smiles.
"Good.  Now give me kiss!"
Jessica smiles before she gives him a kiss.
She swirled her tongue with his and took her hands that were clasped around his neck, and ran them through his thick dark hair.
Danny smiles and says, "Whoo!  Well that was a kiss!  Hah!  great, now I'm hot for you and I have to leave!"
Jessica giggles and says, "Well it seems my job here is done!"
"You little stinker!" He smiles and playfully pinches her nose, making her giggle.

That night Jessica was going over to Sarah's house to spend the night.

"So have you and Danny talked about baby names yet?"
"Not yet, I really have no idea what to name them!  Like I get to name a person!  And they have to live their whole lives with those names!  That's scary!" She puts her hand on her bump.
"Yeah I guess it kinda is.  But it's still so cool!  I think you should name one of them Sarah!" She smiles.
Jessica laughs and says, "Really?  Hm!  I wonder why?" She plays.

She and Sarah stay up late and watch movies.
Jessica cried at pretty much everything.
"Jess, it's okay!  The little boy will be home from school in a little while!"
"I know!  But still!  He wants his momma!  God, I hate being so weepy!  This sucks!" She pouts and crosses her arms.
Sarah puts her arm around her and says, "It's okay, it's okay.. Let it out.." She says as Jessica lays on her and cries.

Once Jessica calmed down, she and Sarah finished watching the movie.
"Hey Sar, The babies are moving, you wanna feel?"
"Oh my gosh, yes!" She puts her hand on her stomach.
"Oh hello little babies!  I'm Sarah!  You two are gonna love me!"
Jessica laughs and says, "Of course they will!  They're gonna love their aunt Sarah!"
"Oh my gosh, Jess!  That's so sweet!  I'm gonna be their aunt Sarah?!"
"Mhm!" Jessica giggles and nods.
"Awe!"

"You know, Sar.. Our sleep overs sure have changed in the past few months, haven't they?" Jessica chuckles.
"You think?!" Sarah laughs.
"Oh my gosh, wait!" Sarah looks at her with a sad expression on her face.
"Whats' wrong, Sarah?"
"In a few months you'll be married and have two kids.. A-and you and I won't have these sleep overs anymore!"
"Oh Sarah, we can still have them!"
"Jessica, how?  You're having twins!  We probably won't hang out at all after they're born!"
"Sarah don't say that!" Jessica starts to cry.
"Well it's true!  Jessica, I'm so happy for you, but I'm gonna miss my best friend!" Sarah cries.
"Oh my gosh, Sarah I love you so much!"
"I love you too!" Sarah says as they both hug each other tight.
"Sarah, I promise you that no matter what, we will be best friends forever and nothing will ever get in the way of that!  You have been here right by my side the entire time.. and you always have, ever since we were in preschool and those kids you'd pick on me because I was too quiet!" She giggles through her tears.
Sarah chuckles and says, "Yeah I did!" She wipes her eyes.
"So no matter what happens in our lives, we will always make time for each other." Jessica grabs her hand.
"Promise?"
"I promise." Jessica smiles.

Flashback to Sarah and Jessica at four years old.

"What's wrong with her?"
"Maybe she's def!"
"Or maybe she's just stupid!" A kid says before he laughs.
"Ha Ha Ha!  You're stupid!"

"Stop that!  I'm not stupid!" Jessica's eyes water and she tilts her head down nervously.
"Hey you guys!  She talks!"
"Yeah, so?"
"Are you crying?!"
"No!"
"Awe!  Does the little cry baby want her mommy?!"
"Stop that!  Don't be mean to me!"
"I saw her crying for her mommy this morning!"
"I was not!"
"She cries every morning for her mommy!"
"I don't!"
"Yeah you do!  Cry baby!  Cry baby!"
"Stop calling me that!  I'm not a cry baby!" Jessica cries as more and more kids gather around her and laugh.

"HEY!" Jessica hears a loud voice.
She keeps her eyes shut tight, because she was too scared to look around at the crowd around her.
"You guys leave her alone!"
"Yeah?  What are you gonna do about it?"
"Well if you're a boy, then I'll kiss you.." She glares at all the boys.
"Ewww!  No way!" They all run away.
"And if you're a girl.. Well I'll just punch you in the face!" She smiles.
"Ahhh!!" All the girls run away screaming.
The girl laughs and rolls her eyes, then walks over to Jessica, who is sitting in a ball in the corner.
"It's okay.. I'll be your friend." She smiles.
Jessica sniffles and looks at her with big, innocent eyes.
"Really!  I'm nice!  It may not look like it, but I like you!" She smiles.
"I'm Sarah, nice to meet you!" She shakes Jessica's hand.
"... I-I'm Jessica.."
"Hi Jessica!  We're gonna be best friends!"
"We are?"
"Yeah!  Forever!" She hugs her.
"I'll never be mean to you, and if these people ever are again, then I'll hit them!" She says out loud, then looks around and whispers, "Not really!  I'll just tell their mommy's.. I just like to scare them." She smiles.
Jessica smiles and Sarah says, "You wanna go play?"
Jessica slowly nods her head no and Sarah says, "Come on, it's fun!  I'll protect you."
"Promise?"
Sarah smiles and grabs her hand.
"I promise!"
