"But Sarah! What if I'm afraid to talk to Jessica?" Danny shouts as Sarah gets further and further away.

"So what? You didn't actually buy me a taco, so I want you to be afraid!"

Danny sighs and watches her leave. He then stood there and thought about it for a little while.

"What's the worst that can happen?  You can't feel any worse than you do now, Danny." He says to himself.

Danny then jumps up and down.  He started to pep himself up the way he does before a big game.

"Go for it, Huston!  Go man, GO!" Danny starts running towards Jessica's house.

"Hey Sarah." Jessica smiles softly as she sits on the ground playing with Isla.

"Hey."

"So.. What did he say?"

"You didn't do anything.  He's just a hot mess."

"Why do you say that?"

Sarah sighs and throws herself on the couch. "Talk to Danny." She shuts her eyes.

"Okay.
.. Why?  I'm nervous."

"You're both driving me crazy!"

"Cwazy!" Isla says.

"Yes Isla!  These two fools are driving me bonkers!" Sarah says making Isla crack up.

Just then the front door opens and Danny rushes in.

"DANNY!" Isla smiles.

"Hi Poops.
  Jessica?  Is Jessica here?"

Jessica makes a face and raises her hand.
"I'm Jessica."

"Jessica!" Danny walks over and takes her hands, standing her up.

"What's going on?"

"Jessica, I'm sorry for the way I acted today. It's just.. when I saw you hugging Sam, I got upset. I hated seeing you hug him. I even gave your taco to her." Danny glares at Sarah.

Sarah rolls her eyes.

"The taco was mine?"

"Oh course it was yours, Jessie! It was the Jessie special!"

Jessica giggles softly and lowers her head.

"But Danny, I don't understand.  Why were you upset about that?"

"Jessica, a couple years ago I made a promise to you that when you were ready I would take you out on your first date.. I thought as time went on maybe you just weren't into me anymore, and seeing you with Sam just made me so angry. It shouldn't have, but I know the reason it did is because I have more than just a crush on you. I really really care for you, Jessica. I have since the moment I walked through these doors and met you, big belly and all." Danny says making Jessica giggle softly.

"You're so perfect."

"Then.. then why did you go out with Claire?  Why didn't you ask me?"

"I thought you didn't want to go out with me! Why did you invite Sam over here?"

Jessica glares at him and purses her lips.
"To make you mad."

"Well it worked, little momma.  I hated it!"

"Well good!  Because I hated you taking Claire out and not me!"

"So we both made eat other mad?"
