For the next two days, Jessica prepared the kids that she was going to be in a LA for a while.

"Mommy I go with you!" Gabriella gets in her suitcase.
"I fit! I fit! I just a little person!"
"I know baby, and I wish I could take you all with me but mommy has to go by herself first, then you, daddy and Isaiah will come with me!"
"But I'll miss you.." She pouts and tears form in her eyes.
"Awe, I'll miss you too Gabby! You'll have fun here with daddy though."
"No I won't!" She cries.
"Baby don't cry! It's okay!" Jessica picks her up.
"How I gonna get to sleep without you?"
"Daddy will read you a bedtime story and mommy will FaceTime you so that it's still like I'm tucking you in." She smiles.
"But you won't!"
"Gabriella it's not that long that I'll be gone! I'll miss you so much, but it's gonna go by so fast! Now.. you better get to sleep. Mommy will read you a bedtime story and tuck you in, okay?"
"Okay..."

After Jessica put her to bed, she goes to their bedroom where Danny and Isaiah are.
"Danny I can't do it.." She sits on the bed and Isaiah crawls on her.
"Do what, baby?"
"I can't leave them! Gabriella pretty much just cried herself to sleep and I feel like a horrible mother!" She cries and plays with Isaiah's hair.
"Baby stop! You are not a horrible mother! You are a wonderful mom, that's why they'll miss you so much." He puts his arm around her.
"But Danny.. How am I gonna be without them? How am I gonna be alone? I've been away from them before, but you were with me.. I'm gonna be all alone.." She cries.
"Don't cry, Babydoll." He wipes her tears and moves a piece of hair behind her ear.
Isaiah pulls at her cami and puts his mouth on the top of her boob as he drools all over her.
"Num Nums, momma!" He hits her boobs.
She let's out a small chuckle, runs her hand through his hair then pulls her boob out and let's him eat.
"What's he gonna do without me for the next week? When I'm working, how's he gonna be without me all day?"
"He's gonna be fine!"
"I just feel bad." She sniffles.
"I know, but I'll be here with them and when we're in LA, I'll sit in your trailer for hours if I have to, just so they feel better and you feel better that you can come and see them whenever you want."
"... Thank you, Danny."
"No problem, babe. Hey... when this little guy's finished.. I'm next in line." He smirks.
"Danny stop." She chuckles.
"What?! We're about to be away from each other for a week.. I need my Jessie fix." He kisses her shoulder.
She turns her head and kisses the top of his head.

Danny looks up and into her eyes then pats Isaiah and says, "Hurry up, son."
"Daddy! Nooo!" Isaiah pushes Danny's hand away.
"Daddy, leave us alone!" Jessica laughs then kisses the top of Isaiah's head.
Isaiah sucks then takes her nipple out of his mouth and points to Danny, "Dada, go.. Out!"
"Hah! Well it's gonna be an amazing week with you, isn't it my boy?" Danny laughs and rubs his head.
"Stop!" Isaiah hits his hand.
"Zaya be nice to your daddy!" Jessica grabs his hand.
"Now let's change your diaper and get you to bed!" She puts her boob back in her shirt.
"Nooo! My num nums!" He pulls her shirt.
"Well hurry up, you gotta get to sleep." She pats his butt and takes her boob back out.
"I remember when they were my num nums." Danny pouts.
"Oh stop! These were mine and now I've had the whole family on them!" She points to her boobs.
"It's like they don't even belong to me anymore!" She laughs.
"They're irresistible babe." He smiles.
"Oh stop it, I'm a human Dairy Queen!" She says making him laugh.
"Ah yes!  Sweet and delicious." He smirks.
"... What does it feel like to be horny 24/7?" She says with a straight face.
"I'm not Always horny... Only when you're around." He gives her an adorable smile.
"Hah!  Thanks honey." She smiles back.

The next morning Jessica got up early and made breakfast.
Danny smelled the bacon from upstairs and smiled.

He walked downstairs in his boxers, rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and saw Jessica frying bacon in her pajamas.
"Morning Babydoll." He says in a deep groggy voice.
"Good morning, did you sleep well?"
"After the night we had?  Hell yeah!"
Jessica let's out a little giggle then looks down and says, "I'm gonna miss you, babe."
"I'll miss you too, Princess.  I'll be counting the hours until you return.  Oh and you better FaceTime me every night before you go to bed." He points his finger at her.
"I promise!" She looks up at him and smiles.
He walks over to her and wraps his arms around her with his hands on her lower back.
He kisses the tip of her nose and she smiles then puckers her lips for him to kiss them.

She lays her head on his chest and hugs him as he holds her in his arms until they hear.
"Mommy I'm up, come get me!"
"I'm coming, Gabby." She chuckles.
"Mommy I smell bacon!"
"I know, I made you some."
"I love you!" Gabriella yells.
"I love you too, baby!" Jessica giggles.

As Jessica walks towards the stairs she remembers something.
"Oh wait!  Before I forget!" She runs to grab a picture from a drawer and hands it to him.
"Just in case you miss me." She gives him a small smile.
He smiles at her then looks at the picture and his eyes pop out, " *Gasp* You're naked in this picture!" He smiles.
"Mhm!" She nods and bites her bottom lip.
"I'll hold it close when I sleep at night." He kisses it then smiles at her.
"Alright!" She giggles and crinkles her nose as they lean closer for a kiss.

After Jessica left Gabriella's room, she went to see if Isaiah was up.
He was standing in his crib and started bouncing his legs when he saw her.
"Momma!" He smiled and waved at her.
"Hi baby boy!" She said in a cute voice with a smile.
"NUM NUUUMMMMSS!" He says with a big smile.
"Zaya I thought you would wean yourself off after you turned one!"
"Num nums!" He yells and reaches for her.
"I'll give you num nums, but you're gonna have to take a baba when mommy's out of town."
"No!  No baba!" He points and puckers his lips.
"Well I'm sorry baby, but you have to have a baba, mommy won't be here." She picks him up and kisses him.
"Mommy please don't leave us!" Gabriella grabs onto her tight. 
"I'll be back soon.. but let's not talk about that, Princess!  Let's go downstairs and eat some breakfast." She smiles and kisses her forehead.

Danny laughs when Jessica walks down with both kids in her arms and Isaiah nursing.
"How on earth will they ever go on without you?" He laughs.
I know right?!" She chuckles and looks down at them.


After breakfast, Jessica gets ready to head to the airport.
They take the kids with them and Jessica sits in the back and cries the whole way over.
"I'm gonna miss my babies!"
"Jessie don't cry, baby.  It'll be okay."
"No it won't!  I'll be away from y'all for too long!  I should have told them I couldn't be there till next week when y'all are with me."
"Baby, you know you couldn't have done that.  Now it's all gonna be okay.  We'll miss you so so much, but in a week you'll be back and we'll be LA bound, baby!"
"Yeah.." She sniffles and wipes her face.

Danny walks her into the airport while pushing the double stroller with only Gabriella in it, because Jessica's holding Isaiah.
She kisses his chubby cheek over and over again as she holds him tight and says, "Mommy loves you so so much, Zaya.  You be a good boy for daddy, okay?" She says with her mouth right on his ear.

Danny stops and looks at Jessica, she looks at him and a tear falls down her cheek.
"I guess this is as far as y'all can come with me." She says in a shaky voice.
"I love you, Isaiah!  Be a good boy." She kisses him and hands him to Danny.

Danny puts him in the stroller and Jessica gets Gabriella out to say goodbye.
"Mommy stay!" She clings onto Jessica.
"I wish I could baby, I really do.  You be a good girl for daddy, okay?  Mommy will call you every single day, and if you need anything at all then daddy will call mommy, okay?"
"...Okay.  But mommy I'll miss you too much!" She looks at Jessica with a sad face and tears pouring down her cheeks.
"I'll miss you too baby!  Now give me hug, and don't cry." Jessica hugs her and tries her best not to cry in front of her.
She wipes Gabriella's tears, kisses her cheek and puts her back in the stroller.
She stands up and buries her face in Danny's chest.
"I love you, Babydoll." He kisses the top of her head.
"I love you more.." She says in a sad tone.

They stand there just holding each other for a while before they hear, "Last call for the ten o'clock flight to Los Angeles."
"Dammit." She sighs and puts her forehead on his chest.
She starts crying and Danny grabs her chin to bring her face up to his and says, "I'll miss you, Ms. Lange."
"I'll miss you too, Mr. Huston." She says as her voice cracks.
He pulls her in for a long and romantic kiss then wipes her tears.
She gives him another hug then goes to the kids and kisses the top of their heads before she grabs her bag and says, "Bye you guys, mommy loves you.." In a sad and shaky voice.
"We love you too, mommy." Danny smiles.
