While Jessica was at dress rehearsal with Gabriella, Danny stayed home with Isaiah.
"Momma!" Isaiah says as he walks around the house looking for Jessica.
"Isaiah, mommy's not here."
"Momma. Momma!"
"Baby she's not here."
"Momma." He looks at Danny.
"No, daddy."
"Momma."
"Dada."
"Momma."
"Dad."
"Momma!"
"Isaiah, I am you're father!"
Isaiah turns away from him and says, "Momma" In a low voice.
"She's not here!"
"Momma! Momma! Momma!" He yells for her.
"Why don't we put you in the playpen, and watch a movie." Danny picks him up.
Isaiah screams because he doesn't want to be in there.
"Hold on, calm down. Just wait..." He says turning the blue ray player on.
He goes onto youtube and searches, "Jessica Lange; Happy days are here again."
Isaiah is screaming and crying for her, but when Danny plays the video Isaiah's cry starts to fade.
His scream become a soft whine until it slowly disappears all together.
He watches the tv with his mouth open and his big wide eyes that are still filled with tears.
He points to the screen and says in a low voice, "Momma.."
"Yeah, that's your momma." Danny smiles at him.
Isaiah lets out the smallest giggle with an adorable smile as he looks at her picture on the tv and listens to her soft, soothing voice.
Eventually Isaiah lays down and cuddles with his bottle and teddy bear, then falls asleep to the sound of his momma's voice.
***
Jessica get's a text from Danny.
***Look what little bear's watching.*** He sends, along with a picture of Isaiah watching it in his playpen.
***Aw my baby! Does he miss me?***
***I think so! Haha! He just fell sleep, look how cute he looks.*** Danny sends with a picture of him sleeping peacefully.
***He's so perfect!***

"Mommy look, my friends are here!" She points.
"I see that!" Jessica smiles.
All of the other moms drop their kids off with Jessica, then wait for them in the other room.
"Alright.. You're fine Jessica. This is a piece of cake." She says to herself as she takes a deep breath.
10 minutes later...
"Get off of that! I'm gonna tell your mother and she's be mad at you! Do you want me to do that?!" Jessica yells.
"No! Don't tell me mommy!" The little girl pouts.
"Well then sit down."
"Viva lets go play!" Gabriella grabs her friends hand and runs off.
"No! Gabriella Danielle, come back!" Jessica yells.
"We just playing, mommy!"
"No, it's not play time. You're gonna sit right here and wait for your teacher to call you."
"I don't wanna sit."
"Well too bad."
The teacher finally comes in to get them and Jessica goes up to her and says, "God bless you! I don't know how you do it! How you can keep such control over these kids and not go crazy!"
"Oh thank you!" The teacher laughs.
"I have my days, believe me! But this is such an amazing little class, and I love them all so much.. It makes those little moments where it feels like I'm about to lose my mind.. all worth it." She smiles.

Jessica went in the room when Gabriella rehearsed for the director of the studio as well as some of the studios staff and ballet mistress.
Jessica stands on the side just smiling, she was so proud of Gabriella.
When she was finished, they took her class in to take pictures and Jessica waited in the lobby with the other moms.
"You're a trooper, Jessica!" One of the moms says.
"Hah! Thanks.. They're cute but all that energy! I just don't know how that's possible!" She chuckles.
They get to talking about other things and Jessica says, "A little after the recital's over, we're moving to LA for a couple of months. I'm filming a movie there, so I'm hoping the move will be okay for the kids. Isaiah doesn't really understand but Gabriella will probably have a harder time with it. She's really close with my brother and his job wont let him leave for long periods of time. She doesn't know how long she'll have to go without seeing her uncle George yet."
"Aw, poor thing! That's great though, about the movie!"
"Yeah I'm really excited about it! The only sucky thing is, is that I'll have to fly out there by myself first. I have stuff to do and there's really no point in making them tag along for those things. I'll fly back though so that Danny wont have to be on a plane with both kids by himself!" She laughs.
"Now that, I'd love to see!" The other mom laughs.
"I know! Oh God, I can't even imagine that plane ride! Isaiah is so attached to me that I don't think he'd make it that long without seeing me!" She chuckles.
"He's the sweetest! Momma's boys are the best!"
"Yes they are!" Jessica smiles and nods her head.
***
When they get home, Gabriella is still a fireball of energy and Jessica is worn out.
She throws herself on the couch and sighs.
Danny walks in a says, "You look tired."
"I am.."
"How'd it go?"
"It was okay. Gabriella was amazing, of course! But those kids drove me nuts!"
"Aw, haha! Poor baby!" He says then adds, "Oh wait, I forgot! Someone has been waiting for you to come home! He's in the other room watching Sweet Dreams." Danny laughs.
"Oh my gosh, really?" Jessica laughs.
"Yeah! Isaiah, mommy's home!"
"Momma! Momma!" He runs in.
"Hi baby boy!" She picks him up.
"Did you miss me?!"
"Yeah!"
"Aw, I missed you too!" She kisses him.
"Mommy." He smiles and holds her cheeks between his little palms.
"What baby?" She smiles.
"I..Wuuv... Yoooou!" He says before he kisses her.
"Awe my baby! I love you too! That's the first time you've ever said that! And it's the first time you've ever called me mommy! Oh my sweet baby boy!" She hugs him tight.
It was such a sweet moment until Gabriella yells out, "Daddy I'm hungry, make me something!"
They laugh and Danny says, "Why can't you be sweet to me the way Isaiah is to your mother?"
"I not Zaya.. and you're not mommy." She says with one hand on her hip and the other out and giving him sass.
"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot!" Danny laughs and sits down.
Gabriella walks over to him and grabs his leg, "I said! I AM HUNGRY!" She yells.
"What's the magic word?" Danny asks.
"Please feed me, daddy.." She pouts and blinks her beautiful blue eyes at him.
"Anything you want princess." He smiles and picks her up.
"Oh now she's daddy's princess!" Jessica laughs.
"Well of course she is!" Danny turns to her as he walks towards the kitchen.
"Just take her costume off of her before she eats! She has to wear it one more time!"
"Yes ma'am." He smiles and give her a wink.
