"Mommy pwetty!"

"Thank you, Isla! I actually put on a little makeup and did my hair." Jessica laughs.

"Where goin?"

"Mommy is going to dinner with Uncle Danny."

"Mama I go!"

"Not today, okay?"

Isla pouts her little lip. "Mama.."

"No, don't pout. Mommy will take you somewhere tomorrow."

"No go wih mommy. Me go wih Danny."

"Okay well Uncle Danny will take you somewhere." Jessica giggles.

"Jessica, can I speak to you for a second?" Catherine asks.

"Yes ma'am."

Jessica follows her into the kitchen.

"Jessica, this is your first date, and I know you know Danny. I know Danny very well." Catherine chuckles. "Have fun but don't let him pressure you ever."

"Yes ma'am. Danny wouldn't do that. He understands what I've been through."

"I know but I still wanted to talk to you."

"I understand. You know.. It's nice because I know I really don't have anything to be afraid of. If it were some boy from school I'd be terrified of something happening. I'd worry about being taken advantage of.. but not with Danny. He's so mature, and we love each other. We're not in love or anything, but you know what I mean.."

"I do. You two are friends first."

"Yes, and I know being friends before taking this step was necessary for us."

"You two are both great kids."

"Thank you." Jessica smiles.

"DANNY!" They hear Isla shout with excitement.

Jessica laughs. "I guess he's here!"

"I guess so! You have fun, sweetie."

"Thank you."

Jessica walks into the living room and smiles at Danny who held Isla.

"Wow. Hi." He smiles.

"Hi." Jessica giggles.

"Mommy I going too!"

Jessica nods and walks closer. "No you are not, little miss."

"Awe mannnn!" Isla frowns and looks to Danny.

Danny kisses her temple and chuckles. "Next time, Poopy."

"YOU Poop, Danny!"

"Ooh she's mad at you." Sarah says taking her from Danny.

Jessica kisses Isla. "Please be good while I'm gone. Don't be a booger."

Isla looks to her mother before rolling her eyes and turning her head.

"She's mad mad." Sarah laughs.

"I know, did you see those eyes?  Isla, that is no way to treat the girl who brought you into this world."

"Say yeah, yeah mommy."

"Yeah yeah." Isla sighs.

"Sarah stop that!"

Just then Doug walks in and over to Danny. "Daniel, let me talk to you for a second."

"Okay.  I'll be right back, Jess."
