Noah was pretty quiet after their little discussion.
He hung out in the living room and watched tv.

Kenley fed the baby then went downstairs.
Noah looked at her then turned back to the tv.

"Noah, if you're not happy here then leave.  I'll be fine."

"All I'm asking is to stay over at my house for a couple weeks just like we stayed here."

"All of Charlotte's things are here!  We'd have to pack so much!  She's used to this house, Noah!  You pack your stuff and go home to your mommy and daddy and we will be fine!"

Noah looks at her and scoffs.
"You're being selfish."

"I'M being selfish? Noah, I can't just pick up and move! My mom is here and she helps us!"

"And what is my mom gonna do? Sit on her ass and watch Roseanne all day? She only does that on Tuesday's!" Noah shouts.

"I know she'll help us but I want my mom just down the hall from me!"

Noah huffs and stands up.
"I'm out. I'll see you tonight." Noah grabs his jacket and leaves.

He slams the door making the baby upset.
Kenley sighs and starts to lightly bounce Charlotte.

"What's going on?" Sarah walks in.

"Nothing."

"Ken.."

"Nothing, Mom!" She snaps.

"Alright, I'm sorry!"

Noah left and walked home.
Jessica jumped up when she saw him.

"Nugget! How are you, baby?"

"Okay." He says hugging his mother.

"Where's Ken and the baby? Is everything okay?"

"Can I stay here tonight?"

"Well yes, of course! It's still your home, baby." She chuckles.

"Everything alright?"

"I'm fine.. I just miss being home."

Jessica smiles, rubs his back and kisses his cheek.
"It'll be nice to have you home, baby."

**

Kenley's POV.

"Ken will Noah be home for dinner?"

"Uhm.. I don't know."

"Where is he?" Evan asks.

"I don't know." She shrugs.

"Did you two have a fight?" Sarah asks.

"No. We just needed a little space."

"Oh. Well okay.. everyone eat up!" Sarah smiles.

Kenley's phone buzzes she picks it up from the table.

*Don't wait up. I'm staying at my house tonight.*

Kenley read it and sighs.

"Everything okay?" Sarah asks.

Kenley looks up and fakes a small smile.
"Mhm.."

She quickly looks down at the baby when she feels her eyes fill with tears.

Charlotte coos making the smallest smile appear on Kenley's face.
She kisses her forehead and mumbles, "Just me and you tonight, Charlie."

That night was more difficult than expected.
Kenley hadn't realized how much he actually helped her.
Sarah went in to help when she heard her having a hard time with her.

"Hey sweetie.. need to some help?"

"Yes, please!"

Sarah walks in and takes the baby from her.
"Hey little baby! What are you screaming about? What are you screaming about, huh?"

Sarah smiles then turns to Kenley who was crying.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Kenley nods her head and wipes her tears.

"Kenny, talk to me. Tell me what's going on."

"It's Noah.."

"What happened?"

"This morning we were fine.. then he brought up staying over at his house for a while."

"That would be nice, don't you think?"

"No!"

"Why, baby?"

"I want to stay home with you!"

"Oh baby! Well if that's what you want then that's okay.. but-"

Kenley sighs.
"What?"

"Staying a few nights over there wouldn't be bad. I'm sure he misses his family too."

"I know he does that's why I told him to just go back home and Charlie and I will be fine."

"You told him that?"

Kenley nods.

"Is he going to?"

"He said no but then he texted me saying that he was staying over there tonight.. and now I'm all alone and I didn't realize how hard it was without him."

"Oh honey, I'll stay with you tonight.. tomorrow you and Noah need to figure out what you're going to do. Things can be like this."

"I guess I could go over and stay there for a little while.. I just want you with me."

"Well I'm right down the street.. but I do know that aunt Jessie will take care of you while you're there." Sarah chuckles.

Kenley smiles softly and looks over to Charlotte who was now calm.

"I can't calm her down sometimes.. I'm not sure if she likes me."

"Oh of course she likes you! She loves you, you're her mommy!"

"Yeah..  She just seems more comfortable with you."

"Don't say that, of course she feels safe with you.  She was inside of you for nine months!"

"Heh, that's true.."

**

The next morning after taking a hot shower, Kenley came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.
She was startled when she saw Noah sitting on her bed.

"Oh you scared me.."

"Sorry."

"It's fine."

"How did things go last night?"

"It was tough.. my mom helped me."

Noah nods.

"I'm sorry for getting upset yesterday but I was just.. *Sighs* I was irritated. I'm sorry I didn't come back."

Kenley looks down and doesn't say a word.

"What is it?"

"I guess it just bugged me because it's like you just ran away from your problems. I can't do that. I can't just leave she'll starve! And it's like you didn't even care!" Kenley tries holding her tears in.

"I'm sorry.. I guess I needed a breather and that was wrong. I apologize."

"I know I said you could go back home but I wasn't expecting you not to come back last night.  You were gone all day then texted me that you weren't coming home.. I guess it just hurt my feelings."

"I'm sorry, that is the last thing I wanted to do.  I didn't want to hurt you."

Kenley looks down and pauses for a moment.

"I'll stay at your house for a while"

"You will?" Noah smiles.

Kenley nods.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Thank you, Ken. That really means a lot to me."

Noah stand up and walks over to her.
"And again, I'm really sorry."

He wraps his arms around her and places his chin on her shoulder.

"Hey, why aren't you hugging me back?" He asks.

Kenley chuckles and wraps her arms around him.
He kisses her shoulder and mumbles, "I love you."

"I love you too.."

They packed up and the next evening they were at the Huston's.

"Charlie Rose!  Hi precious girl!" Jessica squeals as Noah sits the carrier down.

"Oh look her.  She's not too happy!" Danny chuckles.

"Daddy was a little rough getting her out of my mom's car and woke her from her nap."

"Your daddy?"

"No, Charlotte's daddy!" Kenley laughs.

"Oh!  My Baby!" Jessica smiles and hugs Noah.

Noah chuckles and hugs her back.

"I'm not used to you being a daddy, it's still so weird!"

Noah chuckles then watches Kenley take the baby out of her car seat to hand her to Jessica.

"Oh my baby girl!  Are you so so happy to see grandma?" Jessica lightly bounces the baby and kisses her forehead.

"Not as happy as she is to see her Grandpa!" Danny walks over and kisses the baby's cheek.

"Oh you made her upset!  Tell grampy to shave his beard!"

"Sorry Charlie!" Danny smiles.

Jessica laughs.
"That's so cute!"

"I know.  Hand her over, babe."

"Oh okay!" Jessica groans.

"Go to your smelly old grandpa, Charlotte!  Grandma will get you back in a little while."

"You're getting a little chubbier, precious girl!  Your little belly is filling out, isn't it?"

"Just like her grandpa!" Jessica smiles and rubs Danny's stomach.

"Hey!" He laughs.

Jessica places her hand on his back and smiles down to the baby.

"You kids go get everything situated.  We can watch the baby."

"Are you sure?" Kenley asks.

"Of course!  Go ahead!"

"Thank you!"

Noah and John head up to the room and unpack all of the baby's things.

"You sit and relax, I've got it." Noah says.

"No it's okay, I can help."

As Kenley stands beside the bed unpacking Charlotte's clothes Noah watches her from behind.

He smiles softly and walks over and wraps his arms around her body.

"Thank you for doing this.. we'll figure something out in the future.. but I miss my mommy too." He pouts.

Kenley laughs and turns to face him.
She wraps her arms around his neck and smiles lovingly into his eyes.

"I know you do.. it's cute actually."

Noah smiles softly and pecks her lips.

"Thanks!" He says cutely before kissing her again, only more intensely this time.

Anastasia swings the door open and breaks up their little moment.

"Enough of that!  There will be no sex as long as you're next door to me, understand?"

"Yes ma'am!" Kenley chuckles.

***

Two weeks later.

Jessica made Danny a huge breakfast and brought it to him in bed.

"Good morning, handsome! Wakey wakey!" Jessica smiles as she walks in with a tray of food.

"Hm?" He mumbles.

"Wake up, silly boy! Momma made breakfast!"

Danny smiles with his eyes half shut.

"Hey this is nice!" He sits up.

"Only the best for my cutie booty!" Jessica says in a cute voice.

Danny chuckles as Jessica hands over the tray.
She places her hand on his chest and kisses his cheek.

"Thank you, Babydoll!"

"You're welcome, honey!"

Danny looks down at his meal then smiles at Jessica.
"Jessica?"

"Yes, precious?"

"What do you want?"

"Nothing! I just thought you deserved a big breakfast to fill your tummy!" She smiles and hugs him around his neck.

"Mhm."

"Stop it, I'm serious!"

Jessica sits beside him and softly strokes his arm.

"Well don't tell me you're pregnant!" He gives her a look.

"No! No Danny, I'm not!" She laughs.

"Alright.. did you poison this food?"

"Dammit will you just eat?! Why would I do anything to it?! If you don't want it then just throw it away!"

"No, no, no, I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to be rude. Thank you very much for serving me this delicious breakfast."

Jessica looks at him with a pout.
"Hey.." Danny says running his thumb over her bottom lip.

"Don't pout. Those lips are too cute to pout. Give me a kiss." He says placing his fingers under her chin and bringing her closer for a soft kiss.

Jessica smiles then grabs his arm and bounces up and down.

"You're cute." He chuckles.

"Thanks!"

Danny takes a few bites then says, "Mm! This is amazing!"

"I'm glad you like it!" She says laying her head on his shoulder.

"Here, you should fill your tummy too." Danny feeds Jessica some of his food

"Mm.. Thanks, baby."

Halfway through Danny's meal Jessica places her hand on his chest and says, "Danny, what do you think about a few little home renovations?"

"There it is!" He chuckles.

"No stop that! I'm just asking a question!"

"Okay I'm sorry. What kind of renovations were you thinking of?"

"Nothing big. Just simple little things here and there."

"Like what?"

"A duplex, Wanna have sex?"

"What?!"

"I said wanna have sex?!"

"No, before that!"

"I said a duplex.."

"Why would we need that?"

"I don't want my nugget to leave me!  He's just a baby, Danny and he needs me! If we build a duplex then that's like having their own little apartment.. and they'll literally be in the backyard."

"You're crazy, Jess."

"So is that a yes?" She smiles sweetly.

"Jess." He chuckles.

"I don't need you permission really. I am a grown ass woman with my own damn money, I can do whatever I please, And give me that bacon!" Jessica snatches the bacon practically from Danny's mouth and sticks it in hers.

"Well if you want to do that, I guess that's what we'll do."

"I think they'll love it!" Jessica jumps out of the bed and runs to tell the kids.

**

"Wow! That would be kinda like our own little house." Kenley says.

"Exactly!" Jessica says with excitement.

"Noah, what do you think?"

"I think that would be so cool! Are you serious about this?" He turns to Jessica.

"Of course I am!"

"That's really sweet. Thank you so much, aunt Jessie!" Kenley hugs Jessica.

"Oh you're so welcome, sweetie! So that's a yes? We can break ground?"

Kenley looks at Noah and smiles.
"I think so!"

"Yay!" Jessica jumps.

"The only thing I would like is to live with my parents until it's ready."

"Well that's fine, sweetie!" Jessica says.

"Oh I'm so excited! It's gonna be so cool to have our own place.. sorta." Kenley chuckles.

***

One month later.

Kenley has been staying with her parents and Noah goes from house to house.

"Hey Charlie Parley!" Kenley smiles while buttoning up her onesie.

"Guess what, baby girl!"

Charlotte coos and kicks her legs.

Kenley giggles.
"Mommy's sixteen today!
That sounds a little silly, doesn't it?  It's okay though.
.. Today I should be getting my license but I don't know how to drive.. I was a little too busy trying create a tiny human!" She baby talks.

"I think that is a little more important, don't you think, stink butt?"

Charlotte baby talks and swings her little arms.

"You're so cute!
..Grandpa is going to have to teach, momma, isn't he?"

Charlotte smiles at her mother.
"Oh look at that beautiful smile!  That's the best birthday present ever!" Kenley leans forward and kisses her little nose.

She then picks her up and heads downstairs.

"Happy birthday, John!" She smiles and gives him a hug.

"Thanks sis, you too.  Hey Charlie!"

"Wanna go to uncle John?  It's his birthday too!  Smile at him the way you smiled at mommy!"

"You smiled, pretty girl?"

"Say yes I have!  I've been smiling all morning!" Kenley says in a baby voice.

Sarah smiles and walks over to hug her.
"Happy birthday, baby!"

"Thanks, momma."

Sarah looks into Kenley's eyes and says, "I am so proud of you, Ken.  I really am."

"Thank you, mom."

Evan then breaks Sarah away to hug his daughter.
"Happy Birthday, Princess!"

"Thank you, daddy!"

"Ready to get your license!" He jokes.

"Hah!  Definitely not!"

"Haha, John is!  Aren't ya, bud?"

"Yes sir!" John smiles at his father.

"My baby boy on the road!" Sarah grabs his cheeks.

"This is not gonna be good, guys." Wyatt nods.

"Wyatt!" Sarah laughs.

***

Two weeks later.

"Say Happy Birthday, Dada!" Kenley says holding the baby.

"Thank you, Princess!  Come here, Charlie Rose!" Noah takes her and kisses her cheek.

She fussed a bit and rubbed her hand on her face.

"What was that for?  You don't want daddy kissing you?" Kenley laughs.

"You little booty!  I'm gonna give you kisses!  I'm gonna give you kisses!" He says cutely.

"Noah, stop it she's getting mad."

"I'm just kissing her!  What's the problem little turd."

"Don't call her that!" Kenley taps his arm.

Noah sighs and hands her back to Kenley.
"There.  Go back with mama since you hate daddy today."

"She doesn't hate you.. maybe she's mad because she thought you were staying over last night and you didn't.."

"Ken."

"I'm just kidding!" She smirks.

Noah rolls his eyes.

"How's school?" Kenley asks.

Since having the baby Kenley's decided to finish the rest of the school year at home so she can spend more time with the baby.

"It's okay. I miss you though."

"Aw. Well I'll be back next year.. I'm gonna miss Charlie though!" Kenley pouts and holds her close to her body.

"Don't think about that right now. You still have a while."

"Yeah." Kenley smiles softly before Noah walks over and pecks her lips.

***

April 20th.

"Happy Birthday you old old hag!" Anastasia says loudly as she walks into the kitchen.

"You are just too sweet... Bitch."

"Mommy!" She gasps then laughs and squeezes her tightly.

"Oh I love hugs but watch it I'm gonna pee!"

"Cause you're old?" Anastasia laughs.

"No because you were such a big baby and you destroyed my bladder!"

"Oh fine, blame it on the baby!" Anastasia rolls her eyes.

Jessica laughs and squeezes her cheeks.
"You're such a handful, Anastasia, I swear!"

"You always say I was a big fat baby and I was a horrible child, why are you always hating on me?"

"Oh I am not! You know I love you. Even if I sometimes think you're the seed of Chucky."

"Mom!" She laughs and slaps her butt.

"Happy Birthday, momma!" Isaiah walks in.

"Zaya!" Jessica says in a baby voice as Anastasia rolls her eyes.

"Thank you, my handsome son!" She hugs him tight.

"What am I?  Shit face?" Noah walks in.

"Stop with the cussing, Nugget!  You're my handsome boy too!"

"Thanks mommy." He smiles and wraps his arms around her.

Jessica laughs and gives him a hug just before they hear the front door.

"SURPRISE!  Gabriella Danielle is here!  Bow down, bitches!"

"Gabriella!" Jessica runs and hugs her.

"I had no idea you were coming!"

"Well you know, I was think and I was like, what is the best gift I could buy that old woman? I thought and thought, and Thought AND finally I realized that there is no greater gift than Gabriella Danielle herself! So Happy Birthday, Mama! It's me! Your most bested gift ever!" Gabriella smiles and holds her arms up.

"She's so stupid." Noah nods.

"Gabriella thinks?" Isaiah tilts his head as Noah laughs.

"Aw, thank you, my baby!" Jessica smiles and hugs her once again.

"The moon on your ass my be drooping, and your tits may be sagging, but your face is still top notch, Mamacita." Gabriella gives her an OK hand sign.

"Asshole." Jessica nods.

"I'm kidding!" Gabriella laughs.

Danny walks over and says, "I for one am not complaining, Babydoll."

"Thank you, Daniel!" Jessica smiles.

"I'm gonna fucking barf!  You two are too damn old to be speaking that way!" Gabriella says.

"Since when does being forty five make you a senior citizen?" Jessica asks Danny.

"Our kids act as though I'm eighty years old!"

"They're just rotten kids, ignore them."

"Hey it's not Zay or I!  It's those two bitches." Noah points.

"Language, young man!" Jessica points.

"Sorry!" He laughs.

"Anyway.. I'm so happy we're all together for my birthday!"

"And Julio will be here too!  He'll meet us for dinner!" Gabriella smiles.

"Oh good!"

**

Sarah, Evan and the kids meet up with them for dinner as well.

"CHARLIE!  Auntie Gabby is here!" Gabriella takes her from Kenley before Noah even gets the chance to see her.

"Oh my goodness you're getting so big, pretty girl!  My goodness, don't you think she's getting more and more beautiful?"

"She is!" Jessica smiles.

"She looks just like me, don't you Charlie Rose?  My goodness you are so blessed!"

"Julio, you need to keep her in New York with you." Isaiah says making him laugh.

"I love Gabriella's self confidence.  It's one of my favorite things about her."

"That and a whole lot more!" Gabriella smirks and shimmies in her seat.

"Danielle!" Jessica says loudly.

"Oh mom, I'm just having fun!  Tell Grammy that auntie is just having fun!" Gabriella says that last part in a baby voice.

Charlotte giggles and kicks her little legs as she reaches for Gabriella's face.

"Oh I'm gonna eat you up!  Yes I am!  Yes I am!"

She giggles even more as Gabriella continues speaking to her.

"Oh you just love me!" She squeals.

***

June.

"Isaiah James.." Jessica stands there staring at him in his cap and gown.  Her heart felt so happy yet so broken.

Isaiah has always been a momma's boy there was no denying that.  Now he's graduating and moving away to go to college. Jessica's heart has never felt so happy yet so broken all at the same time.

"You, Isaiah.. you make me so proud. You are so smart, and so sweet.. I love you, my baby boy."

"I love you too, momma."

Jessica holds him tight as tears roll down her cheeks.

"I remember the day you came into this world.. I looked at you and you just made my heart melt.. I knew you would make me so so proud.
Now you're going to Harvard and.." Jessica stops to take a deep breath.

"I'm just so amazed and so happy.. you have made me even more proud than I ever could have imagined. I love you, Zaya."

"I love you too, mom." Isaiah's eyes fill with tears.

"Honey, don't cry. Why are you sad?"

"I'll just miss you."

"Oh baby! I'll miss you too! But we still have the whole summer, so let's not talk about that anymore!" Jessica wipes his tears and smiles.

Isaiah bites his bottom lip and nods.

"My baby." Jessica hugs him.

"You've always been my sensitive boy!"

Isaiah chuckles and he lays his head on his mother's shoulder.
