4th of July.
Catherine is 21 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

"Sarah, I need you to be honest with me."

"Sure."

"Do I look fat in this?" Jessica opens her robe revealing a royal blue bikini.

"Jessica nothing can make you look fat."

"You think my boobs look okay?  I don't want them looking too small."

"No Jess, you look great!"

"You think Danny will like it?"

"Ew." Sarah makes a face. "Yes, I think he'll like it."

"Good!
. . . Sarah?"

"Yeah?"

"What is sex like?"

"What?" Sarah laughs.

"I've never made love. What happened to me wasn't real. I mean I have a baby so of course something happened, but that was rape. What is it like to make love? Is it just incredible?" Jessica smiles.

"It's amazing!" Sarah smiles. "You and Danny still haven't?"

"No!  No. . ." Jessica nods. "Danny's ready but. . . I'm not sure I am yet. I do love him and I want him to be my first but. . . It was a traumatic experience for me the first time, and though I know it won't be that way with Danny. . I'm still scared."

"You really really love Danny, Jess.  It's obvious he feels the same about you too.  I mean you're already like a little old married couple."

Jessica giggles softly.

"When the time comes I know all your worries are going to fly out the window.  It'll be amazing."

Jessica smiles. "I love him so much."

"I can tell.  I'm happy for you.  You deserve all the happiness in the world."

"I do." She giggles. "I've been through so much hell.  Danny makes me so happy!"

"That's how I feel about Evan."

"You miss him?"

"Miss him?  I saw him last night!"

"Sarah!  Oh my gosh, mom and dad are gonna be so mad!"

"Well I missed him!  I love him.  Don't worry about it, they'll be okay.  Please don't say anything!"

"Sarah." Jessica sighs.

"Don't tell them, Jess.  You have to promise me!"

". . ."

"Jessie, Please!"

"Alright!  I won't say anything, but Sarah this is so stupid."

Sarah smiles. "I'll be fine."

Jessica rolls her eyes and Sarah wraps her arm around her sister. "I'll be fine."

One hour later.

Zoe opened the door and Isla ran in.

"Isla!"

"I wanna go swimming, mommy!"

"Say hello first.  Don't be rude."

"Sorry.  Hi!" She looks up to Zoe and smiles.

"Hello gorgeous girl!  It's okay that you're so excited!  Anjelica has been talking about you all day.  She's so excited to see you!"

"Aww!  Babies LOVE me!"

"They do!"

Jessica laughs and nods her head. "She's one year younger than you are, you goof."

Zoe laughs and turns to her older sister. "Speaking of babies!" She smiles and rubs her bump.

"Oh stop it Zoe, it's not a petting zoo!"

"Uh oh!  Those pregnancy hormoooones!"

Catherine sighs and rolls her eyes.

"Sissy you look so beautiful!"

"Thank you." Catherine says with a blank face.

"Why are you so mad?"

Catherine turns to give her husband an evil glare.

"Because I woke up this morning." Doug says.

Catherine rolls her eyes. "It's not that, he's just annoying as hell."

Zoe laughs and says, "Oh I so do not miss being pregnant!"

Catherine walks in and asks, "Where's the food?"

"Out back."

"Oh you better make me a plate and bring it in here.  I'm not going out in this Texas heat."

"I'm sorry." Jessica says to Zoe with an awkward giggle. "I'll make you a plate, momma."

"Aw my sweet sweet Jessica.  You go have some fun, baby girl.  Your father will bring it to me."

"Alright.  Well I'm gonna go find Danny!" Jessica smiles.

"Have fun!"

Jessica walks out to the backyard with Isla's hand in hers.

"Look mommy, there's Danny!" She points.

"I see him!"

"Where's his shirt?" Isla laughs. "Him getting in the pool?"

"Yeah it looks like it." Jessica smiles. "He's so. . . sweaty and so. . so. . muscly." Jessica's voice trails off.

Danny spots her and walks over. "Hey babes!" He smiles.  Danny first kisses Isla, then places his hands on Jessica's waist.

"How are you beautiful?"

"Uhhmmm. . . Very very warm."

"Yeah it is hot today, isn't it?"

"Heh. . Very."

Danny smiles and kisses her lips.  He then pulls away and looks down. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing.  Why?"

"Well you always put your little hands on me." Danny pouts.

"Well yeah but. . You're not wearing any clothes."

"I can put my shirt on if you want."

"No!  No." Jessica smiles softly. "I like it."

"Oh?" Danny smirks.

Jessica laughs. "You have a really really nice body."

"You think so?"

"Mhm!"

"Wow.  Thanks." Danny smiles.

Jessica laughs.

"You've seen me like this before."

"Yeah but. . I don't know.  You look. . . different to me."

"Oh."

"I like it." Jessica smiles.

"Mmmm.  I'm glad." Danny grabs her and kisses her intensely.  Jessica kisses him back and slides her fingers through his hair.

Isla sighs and rolls her eyes.  Just then Zoe walks over with Anjelica.

"Eye-yuh!  Eye-yuh!" She shouts with excitement.

"Hi cutie pie!" Isla hugs her.

"Swim!"

"Yeah I've got my swimming suit on under my clothes!  My mommy put it on me!"

"Oh I bet it's beautiful!  Anjelica has a brand new pool just for you two to play in."

"I gonna swim in the big kid pool."

"Well I'm sure your mommy will let you get in, but you'd have to ask."

Isla looks up and sighs. "She can't stop kissing my Danny."

Zoe laughs.

"MOMMY!" Isla hits her leg.

Jessica pulls away. "Oh!  I'm sorry!"

"I wanna get in the big kid pool."

"We're gonna start in Anjie's pool."

"But then can I?"

"With Mommy's help.  And not too deep because mommy isn't really a swimmer either." She laughs.

"Okay!  I need to take my clothes off!"

Jessica chuckles. "Come over here.  Let's put our stuff down."

Jessica sits her bag down, and Isla places her towel on the chair.  Jessica pulls her shorts down and Isla lifts her arms so Jessica and remove her top.

"See?" Isla smiles and models her swimsuit. "It's brand new.  Mommy bought it for me with her money."

"I love it so much, Isla!" Zoe says.

"Thank you!  You wanna see mommy's?  Take off your clothes, mama!"

Jessica chuckles awkwardly. "I'll take it off in a little while."

"Kay.  SWIM!"

Jessica chuckles and walks her to the kiddie pool.

Isla ran in and started splashing everywhere.

"Dis so fun!" Anjelica giggles.

Jessica, Danny, and Zoe watch the girls play, and suddenly Danny's little brother Levi ran over to them.

"This is the baby pool!" Levi says.

"Hey you go!" Isla makes a face. "You not nice!"

"Y'all are babies!"

"Hey!" Zoe says. "Stop it.  Why are you being mean?"

"Cause I know how to swim!"

"That doesn't mean you have to be a little jerk." Danny lifts him up, walks over to the pool, and throws him in.

"DANIEL!" Zoe runs over.

"He's fine, mom." Danny laughs.

"He just learned you ass!  Baby are you okay?"

Levi swims over and Zoe pulls him out of the pool. "Are you okay?"

"THAT WAS AWESOME!"

"See?" Danny smiles.

"Again Danny!  Again!"

"ME TOO!" Tommy runs to his brother.

"Hah!  Now you're stuck with them."

Jessica laughs and looks down to the girls.  She smiles at the excitement in their beautiful eyes.

After a while Isla wanted to get out to eat.  Danny, Sarah, Jessica, and Isla all shared the table.

"Mmm!  I love hot dogs!" Isla says.

"Me too.  Now don't be playing around or you'll choke."

"Okay!"

Just then Danny's father walks over with a plate of food and Anjelica.

"She wants to sit with her brother." John says.

"Aw!" Jessica smiles.

"Dannyyyy!" Anjelica smiles.

"Hey you!"

She giggles and he scoots her chair closer to the table so she can eat.

"You love your big brother, don't you?" Jessica asks.

"Yep!"

"I want a big brother!" Isla pouts.

"You can't, I had you first."

"Can I have a little brother?"

"Not anytime soon." Jessica laughs.

"Wow!" Isla rolls her eyes.

"Yeah you suck, mom." Sarah jokes.

**

A while later.

Zoe offered to watch Isla so Jessica could get in the pool with Danny.

Jessica slid out of her clothes very slowly.  Of course Danny has seen her in a swimsuit before, but this was a two piece.  The last time she wore one in front of him was when she was pregnant.

"Wow." Danny smiles.

Jessica chuckled awkwardly.

"Ew you pig." Sarah makes a face.

"I'm sorry, she's just so gorgeous."

"My body isn't all that, Danny."

Danny takes her hands and looks deep into her eyes. "Don't you ever say that again.  You're body is a work of art."

"Really?" Jessica smiles softly.

"Yes!  You had a baby in there and you look like this now?  Wow!"

Jessica laughs. "Thank you, Danny." She then looks around and takes a deep breath. "Before we go in can you and I talk out in the front maybe?"

"Of course.  We can sit out on the porch."

"Okay."

The two walk to the front.

"Is everything okay?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, everything is fine!  I just. . Well. ."

"What is it?"

"I was really nervous for you to see me like this."

"But why, baby?"

"I was nervous when I saw you like that. . . I think it's because. . because. ."

"Yeah?"

"Because I. . . I just. . my body feels different around you.  I love you so much and. . I just want to touch you!" Jessica whines that last part.

"You can touch me."

"No I. . ."

"Jess." Danny takes her hand and looks into her eyes, calming her nerves.

Jessica takes a deep breath and relaxes a bit. "I'm not saying I want to go all the way with you yet. . but uhm. . do you think maybe we can uh. . do other things?"

Danny smiles. "We can do whatever you want."

"Yeah?"

"Not here!"

"Of course not here, you goof!"

"How would you like to go out tomorrow night?"

Jessica smiles and thinks for a moment. "Actually uh.. Maybe you can come over and we can watch some tv and order food?  Sarah is going out, and my parents are supposed to be a my dads work thing.  I can possibly ask my friend from work to watch Isla for a few hours."

Danny smiles. "I would really really like that."

"Yeah?"

"Very much."

"Good.  Oh Danny?"

"Yes?"

"I can't promise I won't change my mind. . ."

"You can change your mind whenever you want."

Jessica smiles and leans in to kiss him.  She quickly pulls away and asks, "Can I touch your chest?"

"Yes.  Can I touch yours?"

Jessica gives him a weird look and Danny becomes awkward. "I mean!  Can I touch you waist, skin. . stomach area?  Not your chest."

Jessica laughs and grabs his hands and places them on her breasts.

Dannys's eyes widen and Jessica laughs even harder.

"I'm touching your boobies."

"Yep!"

"Wow. . . Oh no."

Jessica looks down and gasps. "Control yourself, Daniel!  My parents are in the house!"

"You're the one who put my hands on your boobs!"

Jessica looks down and her breathing changes. "Danny?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you think I was completely stupid and slutty if I asked you to take me home right now to grab something I left in my room?"

"No. . Why would I think that?"

Jessica gives him a look.

"OH!" Danny's eyes widen.

Jessica giggles and nods her head. "I'm ready.  Let's go!  Please?"

"You don't have to tell me twice!  Just do me a favor and grab my keys.  You go in there, I have to figure out a way I can drive with this thing." He looks down.

Jessica laughs and kisses his cheek. "I'll be right back."

"Okay.  Hurry Please!"

"I will!" Jessica runs in. "Hey mom I left my underwear in my room so Danny is gonna drive me home real quick.

"I can take you.  I wanna grab clothes, this isn't comfortable."

"NO!  I mean!  Please don't." Jessica gives her a sad look.

"Why?" Catherine gives Jessica a strange look.

"Because I don't want you to move, mommy." She smiles. "I'll grab that dress you love."

"You sure?"

"Positive!  We'll be back!"

"Okay."

"Does anyone know where Danny's keys are?"

"How would I know?" Catherine says.

Jessica sighs and walks into the kitchen.  She looks around and gasps when she comes face to face with Sarah.

"What are you doing?"

"Sarah!  What are you doing in the kitchen?!" Jessica shouts.

"Are you going home to have sex?"

"SHHHH!" Jessica stomps her feet. "No!  He's taking me home so uh-uhmm. . ."

"You can grab your underwear?  Yeah you suck at lying sis."

"I know I do but we're not having sex!" Jessica whispers.

"Then why are you being weird?"

"We're just gonna fool around.  I googled how to uhm. . . please him and-"

"Oh God, Jess!" Sarah makes a face.

"You asked!"

"I'm nervous but I need to do something.  I want to touch him, and I want him to touch me.  I don't want to go all the way yet.  I just wanna have some fun."

"Take this." Sarah hands her a condom.

"SARAH!  No I said I Don't want to go all the way!"

"Just in case."

"Okay. . Thank you."

"You're welcome." Sarah smiles. "Go have fun."

"I will!  Gosh I'm so nervous, but excited!  I feel so naughty!" Jessica laughs.

Just then Danny opens the front door and yells in. "Jessica please!"

"I'm coming!"

"The keys are right here!"

"Okay I'm coming!  Sorry, he must be dying out there!" She laughs. "His penis was like-"

"Jessica NO!"

"Sorry!  See you later!" Jessica runs off.

Sarah makes a face and nods. "You nasty fucks."
