Jessica and Isla made it to their hotel room.  Danny rushed over as soon as he could.

"I missed my girls!  How are you feeling, Mama?" Danny kisses Jessica's lips, then her belly.

"I feel great." Jessica smiles.

Danny follows Jessica to the bed and they sit down to talk.

"Mommy does not feel great.  She said her tummy hurts real bad." Isla says as she attempts to climb on the bed.

Danny helps her on the bed then turns to Jessica. "A tummy ache or. ."

"I don't know what it was but it was nothing.  It lasted like five seconds."

"Did you call your doctor?"

"For five seconds?  It was just a little cramp Danny, I had them all the time when I was pregnant with Isla.  My uterus is growing and tiny cramps are normal."

"Okay. . Well just tell me if you have any more."

Jessica smiles and leans in closer for a kiss. "Promise."

Just as their eyes shut and they lean in even closer for a kiss, Isla squeezes in and kisses Danny.  Jessica is met with a face full of hair.

"Hey!"

Isla giggles. "MY kisses!"

"You little poop!"

She laughs then straddles Jessica. "Is the baby gonna be born on my birthday?"

"No, you're both gonna have your own special day."

"Okay!  I mean I can share if that's what the baby wants."

"Aw that's so sweet."

"Yep!" Isla immediately starts pulling Jessica's shirt up.

"Honey, what are you doing?"

"I wanna see if I can see the baby.  When's it gonna grow?"

"I started showing around eleven weeks with you, but I don't know, I may pop out sooner with this one."

"Sooo. . When's your tummy gonna grow?"

Jessica laughs. "I don't know!"

Isla smiles and places her hands on Jessica's stomach.

"It's a small baby."

"Can you give them kisses?" Danny asks.

"Yeah!" She smiles and kisses her mother's stomach. "Hi baby brother!"

"You're team brother too?" She chuckles.

"Yeah. . If it's a girl then. . Poor Poppy." She sighs.

"Poppy will love a baby girl too! He's a big softy for girls."

"But I wanna be Poppy's only Grand-Princess."

"Oh I see!" Jessica laughs.

"GO DADDY GO! WOOOO! MOMMY HE'S RUNNING FAST!"

"I know baby-"

Isla gasps and screams, "HE'S GOT THE BALL!!"

Jessica chuckles at her reaction to seeing Danny play football for the first time.

Isla wore a jersey in support of Danny's team, denim shorts and white converse. Jessica did her hair in two little blonde pigtails and matching bows. She was the most adorable little fan there.

"WOO!" She shouts and suddenly stops to turn to her mother. "Mommy, another bite of hot dog please."

Jessica laughs and feeds her. "Sit down and chew your food so you don't choke."

"Okay but then I have to stand up cause he needs to hear me cheer for him so he'll win!"

Jessica smiles and rubs her back.

**

"He won the game!"

"They lost baby."

"WHAT! They're Losers?!"

"That's not nice to say, Isla."

"It's what they are!"

"Daddy is not a loser."

"I'm totally embarrassed."

"Isla." Jessica laughs. "It's okay! Don't tell your father how disappointed you are in him."

"I won't, chill!" Isla lifts her chubby little hand.

"I think you're hanging around aunt Sarah too much.  Since when did she become your best friend?"

"Never!"

Jessica laughs and takes her hand.

"Where's that boy at?"

"He's with the team.  We're gonna pick up some food and he'll meet us back at the room."

"I wanna see his dorm!"

"Nah, I don't want you around those crazy college kids."

"I can just pretend I go to school there." Isla shrugs.

"I bet you would fool them!" She chuckles.

"They won't believe me cause I don't have boobies like you."

"Isla, you are a mess!"

**

"Honey, I'm home!" Danny says in a funny voice as he makes his way into the room.

"Hey my little football star!"

"Hey loser!" Isla stands on the bed and smiles to her father.

"Isla!  You said you wouldn't tell him that!"

She turns and gives her mother a smirk. "I lied."

Jessica sighs. "Honey, it was those other guys fault y'all lost.  You were amazing!"

"Thanks babe.  Isla, It's okay.  Sometimes you win, but there will be times you lose.  Everyone loses at some point in life."

"I always WIIIN!" She says jumping off the bed and throwing herself on Danny.

Danny laughs and catches her.

"She was so impressed by you, honey.  I have the videos to prove it."

"Really?"

"Yeah.  Isla, remember how fast Daddy ran?"

"Yep!  He was like super fast!  Did you hear me cheering for you?"

"Yep!  That's what made me go and go.  I wanted to go impress you."

"Ah big guy!" Isla smiles and pinches Danny's cheek.

**

4:30 AM.

The three are sleeping peacefully, Isla in the middle cuddling into Danny.

Jessica was suddenly woken by a sharp pain in her lower stomach.  Fortunately she didn't wake the other two with the painful noise she made.

Jessica decided to go to the restroom.  When she tossed the covers off she saw blood.  She gasped and walked over to Danny's side of the bed.  She shook his arm and whispered loudly, "Danny... Danny!"

"Hmm?  Not yet.  I'm sleepy."

"Danny, wake up, I'm bleeding."

"Bleeding?  You're... What!" Danny jumps up waking Isla."

"Noooo!" She whines. "Shut up, Shut up, Shut up!"

"Isla stop saying that." Danny says. "Jess, you okay?"

"No." Jessica nods with tears in her eyes.

"AHH!" Isla screams. "THERE'S BLOOD!"

"It's okay Isla, shh."

"Mommy is there a killer?!"

"No honey.  It's okay."

"No it's not there's blood!" She screams once again.

"Isla, it's okay.  Come on, we have to take mommy to the hospital."

"NO!  WHY?!  Mommy did the bad man hurt you again?  You said he was gone!" Isla had the most terrified look in her eyes.

"No, no baby.  He's gone.  The bad man isn't here, I promise."

"But you're bleeding!  Who hurt you? Da-da-daddy I-I-I-I don't-" Isla began stuttering.  This poor child has been traumatized and this triggered her badly.

"Honey, I'm bleeding because of the baby."

"Why?"

"I-I don't know.  We have to get to the hospital to see if the baby's okay."

**

"Daddy I'm scared.  There's a lot of people here, and mommy says the baby might be hurt.  And we're in our PJ's!"

"I know, I'm sorry we didn't have time to change you."

"What's going on?"

Danny sighs. "We're gonna get the baby checked out."

"Mommy?"

"Yes, Isla?"

"Could the baby.. could the baby go to Heaven?"

Jessica looks down as tears roll down her face.

"I didn't want to make her cry." Isla nods.

"It's okay, honey." Jessica wipes her cheeks and looks up. "Yes.  The baby could be going to Heaven."

"But why?!  What happened?"

"Sometimes this just happens, Isla.  It's nothing me, you, or your mom did."

**

"What is this?"

"Danny, please go out there with her.  I don't want her to see this." Jessica cries softly.

"I'm not leaving you."

"I am so so sorry." The nurse says. "You're miscarrying her, ma'am."

Jessica let out a sob.

"What?  Mommy, What!" Isla panics.

"Why don't you two have a moment, and I can take.. Isla, right?  I can take Isla for some an ice cream breakfast!  The break room is just around the corner."

Jessica nods to Danny.  Danny turns to Isla and says, "Let me talk to mommy.  You go and eat all the ice cream you want." He smiles softly.

"But it's night time." Isla rubs her eye.

"It's not night time.  It's just really early in the morning."

"Okay.. but only if they have chocolate."

The nurse smiles and takes her hand and the two leave the room.

Danny sits beside Jessica and holds her small body in his arms.

"I'm so sorry."

Jessica sniffles and looks up. "Danny, I don't know how to feel."

"Talk to me."

"I love my baby.  This child would have been Isla's full blooded sibling.  But it's like Edwin is finally out of my life.  God I'm so so horrible for saying this!  Especially since I have Isla who is his."

"Jessica, he raped you.  He tortured you and your daughter.  He has been hurting you since you were a child.  You're not horrible!"

"I wish this baby didn't die...  But I also don't want to have another baby that isn't yours."

Danny kisses her forehead and holds her close.

"Danny"

"Yeah?"

"Did you hear what the nurse said?"

"She's a girl."

Jessica cries and nods her head.

"We should name her."

"Yes.  She deserves that.  Isla can help us."

"Isla.. that poor baby."

"She was really excited about being a big sister."

"She'll be a great one one day."

Jessica squeezes Danny's hand as the two sit in silence.
