*October 17th*
"I can't believe it's been a year since I went into labor!" Jessica says getting ready for the Freak Show Premiere.
"Times just flying by, isn't it?" Danny smiles at her while she holds Gabriella.
"Yep.. My baby's gonna be one year old tomorrow!" She gets tears in her eyes.
"Around this time I started to to have contractions but ignored it and thought it was just Braxton hicks contractions. I was so huge I needed help getting into my dress!" She laughs.
"You were gorgeous! I miss your big pregnant belly! It was adorable on you babe." He smiles.
She giggles, "Thank you sweetheart. Do you remember when you and I both had break downs!" She laughs.
"Hah, oh yeah that's right! Sarah had to snap up out of it." He laughs.
"Yeah,she was a big help that night."
Yep... Well I guess we better go." He says standing up.
"Alright, we'll be back before midnight Gabby, I want to give you your midnight birthday kiss!" She smiles and kisses her cheeks.
Jess and Danny's family were staying at their house for Gabriella's party the next day so they were going to watch her while they were at the premiere, except for Jessica's brother George, Jessica promised to bring him along.
They walk downstairs to see George all dressed and ready to.
"Have I mentioned that you're my favorite sister Jess?" George smiles.
"No but there was never any doubt in my mind that I was!" She giggles and taps his cheek.
"Alright, you got invited and you're going, you can climb out of Jessie's ass now George!" Ann says.
"Ew don't say that!" He makes a disgusted face.
Jessica laughs and says, "Alright the limo's here, we gotta go!" She hits George with her clutch.
Danny says goodbye to Gabby and Jessica yells out, "Y'all call me if you need anything! Gabby, mommy will be back soon!" She goes back for one more kiss before leaving.

They step out of the limo and Danny holds his arm out for Jessica, "You okay?" He asks her.
"Yeah, I just hate red carpets, they make me wanna puke!" She swallows hard and grabs her stomach.
"It'll be okay, I'm not leaving your side... You'll be fine!" He says holding her arm closer to his chest and kisses her forehead. "Thank you Danny! I love you."
"I love you too, babydoll."
They stop for pictures and Jessica poses with her two handsome dates.

They stop her for an interview and the guy asks, "So Jessica you've said that Freakshow will be your last, is that still true? We're all hoping it's not!" He says with an anxious face.
"Well I don't know, I think so. You know I have a little girl and I want to takes some time off and be with her, but I really don't know what I'm doing at this point!" She laughs.
"Well that's understandable, so how old is your daughter?" The reporter asks, "She'll be one tomorrow!" She says with a smile that lights up her face.
"Wow! Well tell little Gabby, Happy Birthday from all of us!"
"I will, thank you!" She smiles and waves while walking away.
"No, thank you Ms. Lange!" He says as she turns to smile at him.

After her little interview Sarah runs up to her, gives her a hug and says, "Hey how are you? Are you feeling any better?" She asks because she had fever and horrible cough the week before.
"Yeah I'm feeling a lot better, the medicine knocked it right out before I could give it to Danny or Gabby so that's good!" She smiles.
"Well good, I'm glad you're feeling better! Can you believe your baby's gonna be one tomorrow?!"
"I can't! It's crazy to think that it's been a year since I was squeezing Danny's hand walking down the red carpet in pain and squirming in my seat and thinking, "Holy fuck this things gonna have to come out! And it's gonna be here, in the middle of the premier" She laughs.
"Aw! And our late night labor walk at Walmart!... Aw Jess have another baby and promise me that I'll be invited over when they're born!" She grabs her arm and begs like a child.
Jessica laughs and says, "I promise!"
"Oh God we better get inside, look at George!" Jessica says watching him pose for the camera and talking to the reporters.
Jessica goes up behind him and grabs him by the ear pulling him away from the interview and says, "Get over here! You have no business talking to them!"
"Ow geez! I can't help it if I'm interesting!" He says rubbing his ear and Sarah laughs a them, "You gotta love brother/sister outings!" Sarah says.
