Two weeks later, Isaiah is still getting up around every hour or two and Gabriella is back in bed with them.
"WAAAH!" He cries.
Jessica gets up and takes him out of his bassinet.
She tries to nurse him but he just cries.
"Isaiah, PLEASE stop!" She cries.
"Mommy I can't sleep!" Gabriella pouts.
"I know baby, I'm sorry.. Go back to bed and I'll take him to the other room. Oh but first, pull your daddy's hair."
"Okay!" She pulls it and laughs.
"Ow!" He grabs his head and looks at Gabby, "Mommy told me to!" She points at Jessica.
"Why Jess?"
"Because I don't think you should be the only one in this house that gets to sleep like a baby. Not even the baby's sleeping like a baby!" She storms off.
"Oh dammit, I'm in trouble!"
"Yeah." Gabriella sighs.
"Oh what do you know!" He laughs and tickles her making her let out her adorable high pitched laugh.
"Go back to bed, baby." He kisses her forehead and tucks her in.
He goes down to find Jessica nursing the baby on the couch.
When she sees him she turns her body and crosses her legs ignoring him.
"Baby.." He calls her but she doesn't answer.
"Baby.. I'm sorry."
"My name is Jessica." She says still not facing him.
"Jessica, I'm sorry." He sits by her and touches her leg but she moves it away.
"Jessica I just fell asleep, I'm sorry! It's not like I haven't helped you at all!"
"I know but I just feel like I do everything.. I know you help me but it's.. It's just too much." She cries.
"Jessie.."
"Don't baby me! I'm a big girl and I need to stop this... All I've been doing for the past three weeks is cry."
"Jessica your body has gone through something that's very difficult, it's understandable that your more emotional."
"But I wasn't like this last time."
"But you didn't have to look after a toddler the last time. It's gonna take some adjusting to but soon we'll all be on the same schedule."
"I guess you're right.. And Danny.. I love my kids more than anything in this world, I don't want you to think that I'm complaining.. I do love being a mother."
"I know you do, sweetheart.. It's the most difficult job in the world." He says as she adds, "And the greatest." She smiles and looks down at Isaiah then back up at Danny.
He kisses her lips and when she's finished feeding Isaiah he says, "I'll try to get him to sleep.. You get some rest."
"Thank you Danny."
She goes upstairs and falls straight to sleep.
Meanwhile Danny's downstairs with the baby, "Why won't you sleep little man?" He holds him up and Isaiah just stares around the room.
"Look at you! You're so interested in this big ol' place, aren't you?"
Danny walks around the house to try and get him to sleep but Isaiah stays wide awake.
"You know, your sister did this to me too! It's not funny, go to bed!" He chuckles and goes upstairs to check on Gabriella and Jessica.
"Look at our girls, Isaiah.. Aren't they beautiful?" He smiles while watching them sleep peacefully with Jessica's arm around Gabriella and Gabby sucking her thumb.
"Mmm! Look at those legs!" He smiles while staring at Jessica's long legs and thighs sticking out of her short silky robe.
"Let me cover her up so she won't be freezing, then we'll head back down."
When he walks back downstairs he sits on the couch.
Isaiah starts to get fussy and Danny says, "You don't want me to sit, do you?"
So Danny continued walking, which worked for about half an hour.
Isaiah started crying on the top of his lungs, "Isaiah, you're okay! Calm down, baby." He bounces him.
Danny yawns and grabs the remote, "Maybe some TV will calm you down?"
He changes the channel and Freakshow was on.
"Look Isaiah, there's mommy!" He pointed to the screen.
It was the part where she sang "Gods and monsters".
"You know, you were in her belly there! This was your big TV debut!" He laughs.
As she starts to sing Isaiah slowly stops crying.
"Shh shh... Yeah that's mommy, little guy. She has the voice of an angel, doesn't she?"
Finally Isaiah was completely silent.
"I guess momma's voice just soothes you, hah! That woman has something about her that just captivates everyone." He smiles.
Isaiah would cry when ever Jessica would go off screen, "I see what I'm gonna have to do!" He says getting out all of Jessica's DVDs.
"I think we'll start with Grey Gardens." He smiles and puts the DVD in.
He sits back with him and watches it but the moment Danny tried to sing along Isaiah would fuss.
"Alright alright, I'm sorry!" Danny took the hint and stayed silent.

The next morning Jessica woke up to Gabriella tapping her face and saying, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" It started as a whisper but got louder every time she said it.
"What Gabby?" She says in a tired voice.
"I'm up!"
"I can see that!" Jessica chuckles.
"Mommy, there's Num Nums all over you!" Gabriella's eyes widen as she looks at her boobs.
"Oh, haha! I'm leaking.. I guess it's time to feed your brother."
Jessica picks her up and takes her downstairs to find Danny and Isaiah fast asleep.
The tv on Sweet Dreams and his iPod on September Song.
"What is going on down here?" She laughs.
"Daddy's sleeping!" Gabriella points.
"I know! Look at our men.. So cute!" She giggles.
Jessica wakes Danny up by giving him a soft kiss on his cheek.
"I wanna kiss daddy, too!"
"Hmm.." He moves slightly and Jessica moves over so Gabriella can kiss him.
She kisses him then hits his face and says, "Wake up, daddy!"
"Huh? Oh haha! Hello my gorgeous girls." Danny smiles.
"How was your night?" She chuckles and looks at the tv.
"Oh haha! Yeah, your son doesn't sleep unless he hears your voice so I had to improvise."
"Awe my baby!" She says in a cute voice and smiles at the baby.
"Hey, No! I'm your baby!" Gabby pouts.
"You're my first baby!" She kisses her cheek, "Okay!" Gabby smiles.
"Well he needs to wake up because my boobs feel like they're about to bust and milks gonna go everywhere!" She laughs.
"Well here, let's make the switch." Danny stands up and they swap kids.
Jessica unites her robe and brings Isaiah to her chest, "Yowza!" Danny smiles and his eyes light up.
"Danny.."
"What? You look amazing, babe!"
"Haha! You pig!"
"What?!" He laughs, "They're so round and perfect!"
"Okay, stop staring!"
"Alright but I wanna feel." He reaches out and touches her boobs.
"Daddy! No Num Nums!" Gabriella points her finger at him.
"Yeah daddy, no Num Nums!" Jessica laughs and mimics Gabby.
"I'm sorry baby.. But they were mine first!" Danny laughs.
"Daniel!" Jessica hits him.
"Haha, I'm sorry! I'm done!" He laughs.
Isaiah starts to wake up, "Well good morning, my handsome boy! Did you miss your momma last night? Huh? Did you miss momma?" She says in a baby voice and smiles at him.
He makes cute baby fussy noises, "Alright alright, boobie time!" She smiles and sticks her nipple in his mouth.
"You lucky luck boy!" Danny stares.
"Stop it, Daniel!"
Jessica sits on the couch and Danny sits next to her with Gabriella in between them.
"I'm hungry!" Gabby says.
"Alright, do you want daddy to make you some eggs?" He asks.
"No, I want mommy!"
"Mommy's feeding the baby right now, why don't you want daddy to make you something?"
"NO! I want Mommy's!"
"Mommy's what?" He asks.
"Num Nums!" She pulls away from Danny and climbs on Jessica's lap.
"Gabriella!" Jessica laughs as she starts to nurse.
"I guess it wasn't just that one time." Danny laughs, "But that's fine.. I don't have to make breakfast now!" He smiles.
"Oh yes you do! What am I gonna do, suck my own tit?" She scoffs.
"Haha, I'm sorry baby.. What do you want?"
"Hmmm... Bacon and eggs please!"
"Coming right up!" He kisses her forehead then heads to the kitchen.
Jessica sighs and looks down, "My crazy babies!" She giggles.
