It was a couple days after Joyce and Matthew passed away, they had the funeral, Matt and Dana along with Ellen were moved in, and today was Matts birthday, Nick along with Ellen and Dana woke Jessica up to help them with breakfast then she went to wake him up

Jessica-(sits on Matts stomach) "Wake up birthday boy!"

Matt-(wakes up and smiles) "I'm up peanut".

Jessica-"Happy birthday goofy!". (lays on him)

Matt-(hugs her close) "Thanks pebble".

Jessica-"Breakfast is done come on".

Matt gets up and takes Jessicas hand, once they get to the kitchen, the girls and Nick sing happy birthday to him, he blows out the candles on his waffles and they eat, instead of doing anything big because of everthing going on they all decided to have a nice day home, DJ and Malachi would be coming later along with Dustin and Brandon

Nick-"Happy birthday big brother". (hugs him)

Matt-"Thanks bub".

Dana-"Jess once you're finished eating you have to get on and do some school".

Jessica-"Oh come on it's Mattys birthday". (crosses arms)

Nick-"I'll make a deal with you, if you do at least an hour you can play the nitendo, but Matty gets to pick the game".

Jessica-"Deal". (shakes his hand)

After they eat breakfast, Jessica gets on the computer and does school, she's been having some trouble with math and it gets her frustrated

Jessica-"Ugh!"

Matt-"What is it hun?"

Jessica-"This darn math, I usually have a tutor when I do it, but he's been out since he went back home to visit and they don't have a replacement, mommy would usually help me". (tears up)

Ellen-"Did you know about that babe?"

Nick-"I had no idea, here baby I'll help you, I'll call the school once you get done". (sits by her)

Hearing those words come out of her mouth made Matts heartbreak, Jessica was taking the loss of their parents better than they were, maybe it's because she's only seven and doesn't quite get it, she has her moments sometimes though, Matt had to go out to the living room and Dana followed him

Dana-"You okay?"

Matt-"They never told us she had a tutor for math". (sighs)

Dana-"Maybe they were, but forgot to tell you hun".

Matt-(tears up) "Are we going to be able to do this, we still have to talk to her about those papers".

Dana-"I believe in all of us Matt, plus if it was the other way around, I'm sure she would do the same thing".

Jessica-"Four plus five is nine monkey!" (giggles)

Nick-"Well excuse me". (laughs)

Matt and Dana smile hearing Nick and Jessica from the kitchen, they walk back out, Ellen is on the phone with the school

Ellen-"Thank you so much we appreciate it, you are very welcome, yes we will help her when on the road, but will let you guys know when she is back home, thanks again". (hangs up phone)

Matt-"The school?"

Ellen-"Yeah I told them what was going on, Jess your tutor will be back with you in a couple weeks, he just got back from his trip".

Jessica-"Yes Mr.Stephan!"

Nick-"He's a pretty cool guy I take it?"

Jessica-"Yes, also he's training to become a wrestler, he's from Virgina, but moved out here to teach and train, I usually don't do math till he comes, he will probably call before he gets to the house".

Matt-"Are we done with school I wanna play some Mario Cart".

Nick-"She just got done". (kisses Jessicas head)

Jessica-"I call being Toad!" (runs to living room)

Matt-"Hey get back here". (chases after her)

Dana-"I think we're going to be taking care of two kids".

Ellen-"Two how bout three". (laughs)

Nick-"Hey!" (hugs them both)

They head out to the living room, Matt is on the floor while Jessica is sitting in between his legs and they are playing Mario Cart, after a bit DJ, Malachi, Dustin, and Brandon come over, they have dinner, eat cake, then give Matt cards and gifts

Jessica-"Nicky I'm gonna need help".

Nick-"We'll be right back". (follows Jessica)

Dustin-"Oh boy". (laughs)

Dana-"Close your eyes babe, it's from the four of us".

Matt closes his eyes, Nick and Jessica are standing there, when Matt opens his eyes he is in tears

The gift

Jessica-"Nicky has one too!"

Nick-"Mom and dad had it made, I was going to give it to you sooner, but I thought I would wait, they were both is my room". (hugs Matt)

Matt-"Thank you". (picks up Jessica)

Jessica-"Happy birthday goofy". (kisses his cheek)

Matt-(tears up) "Thank you pebble

After Matt opened his gifts they had cake and ice cream, Malachi and DJ left soon afterwards, so did Dustin and Brandon

Dana-"Looks like the birthday boy is worn out".

Ellen-"He's not the only one". (smiles)

Nick and Matt are sleeping on the couch while Jessica is laying on Matt sleeping as well, the girls decide to let them go and cover them up with blankets, they head to bed, in the middle of the night Matt wakes up, he sees that Jessica is now laying with Nick on the other couch in the living room sleeping

Nick-(wakes up) "Looks like the girls left us".

Matt-(smiles) "When did you move?"

Nick-"She woke up and had to use the bathroom and so did I, you're more than welcome to join us that's why I pulled it out into the bed". (whispers)

Matt goes to the bathroom then comes back, he gets on the other side of the pull out couch and wraps his arms around Jessica, Nick does as well

Nick-"Did you have a good day?"

Matt-"It could've been better, but just having you guys here was worth it". (rubs Nicks arm)

Nick-"Do we wanna talk to her tomorrow?"

Matt-"We have to at some point". (sighs)

Nick-"We got this bubba". (pats Matts arm)

They both kiss Jessicas head then they go back to sleep
