A week later.

"Twenty weeks!  You're half way there, momma!" Danny walks up and puts both of his hands on her belly.
"I know!  It's so crazy that our little guy is half way done!" She smiles and scrunches her nose.
"Baby!" Isaiah points and stands on his tippy toes to reach her stomach.
Danny laughs and picks him up to reach her.
Isaiah puckers his lips and kisses her stomach.
"Awe thank you!  You're so sweet!" Jessica runs her hand through his hair.
"Look at this mop!  It breaks my heart to say this, but I think it's time for you to get a haircut.."
Danny gasps and yanks him away from her.
"Jessica!  You can't cut his hair!"
"Well Danny, I don't want to, but don't you think he's overdue for one?"
"No cut hair, mommy!" He points and pouts his lips.
"You don't mess with the hair of Huston men, babe!"
"Danny!" She chuckles then says, "I'm not talking about shaving his head, I'm just saying that he needs a trim."
"..Well yeah... I guess you're right."
"Of course I'm right!  I'm momma after all!" She smiles.
"Besides, tomorrow's Thanksgiving and he has to look nice!  Right baby?  Like a big boy!" She says in a cute voice as she smiles at Isaiah.
He makes cute little noises as he smiles at her, then points to himself and says, "Yeah!  I big boy!"
"Yes you are!" She leans over to kiss him.

They were on their way to drop Gabriella and Lola off at Sarah and Evan's for the day, and Lola laid on Jessica's lap.
"My little Lola!" She smiles at her as she cuddles up to her belly.
"She's always been closer to me when I'm pregnant."
"She can feel the baby. Isn't that cool?"
"It is." She smiles and gently caresses her.



As they wait for Isaiah to get his hair cut, Jessica sits him on her lap and touches his hair as she cries.
"Jessica, it's gonna be alright."
"This was the hair he was born with, Danny!  When he came out of me, this hair was on his little head!" She pouts as she touches the ends of his hair.
"Baby, you said you wanted to cut it."
"I know!  But.. That doesn't mean that I can't be upset!" She cries harder.
"Mommy no cry!  Mommy no cry!" Isaiah turns around and wipes her tears, which of course made her cry even more.
"Aw my baby's so sweet!" She holds him tight.
"I wuv you, mommy." Isaiah gently brushes her arm.
"I love you too, baby!"

The hair dresser comes up and Danny says, "I'm sorry, this is his fist hair cut, he's her baby..and she's pregnant.. So.." His voice trails off and he looks over at them.
"It's okay!  I see this all the time, don't worry." She smiles.

They set Isaiah up in his little chair and Jessica tries her best to hold back tears.
"You're such a big boy!  Mommy's so proud of you!" She smiles.

"Are you ready Isaiah?!" The hair stylist asks.
"Yeah!" He smiles.
"You see, he's fine, baby!" Danny tells her.
"Yeah... Oh and remember, not too much!  It's just a little trim!" She tells the woman.
"No problem, Mrs Huston."

As soon as she clipped that first lock of hair, a single tear rolled down Jessica's face.
"She might as well just stab me in the heart with those scissors, because that's what that felt like!" She grabs Danny by his shirt.
"You're okay." He chuckles and tries to loosen her grip.

Once he's finished the stylist give Jessica his baby hair in a ziplock so that she can put it in his baby book.
Jessica holds it to her chest and cries.
"My baby!"
"Mommy don't!" He holds his hand out to her.
"I'm okay, sweetie... Come to momma." She holds her hands out for Danny to hand him to her.
"You sure you've got him?"
"I'm fine, just hand him to me!"

"Oh Zaya!  You're such a big boy now!  Yes you are!  You look so nice with your haircut!  and you behaved so well and sat still in your chair!  Guess what that means?!" She smiles.
"What mommy?!" 
"Ice cream!"
"Yay!  Eye cweam!" He says making Jessica laugh at the way he says it.

"This Ice cream has got this baby just dancing away!" She holds her stomach.
"Aw!" Danny smiles.
"Does he move as much as the other two did?"
"No, he's a little calmer. Only when I eat certain things is when he gets a little excited." She giggles.
Danny just smiles at Jessica and she laughs, "Why are you staring at me?!"
"I just love you! You look so cute... and I just can't seem to take my eyes off of you right now."
"Aw, you're so sweet!"
"Isaiah, isn't your mommy pretty?"
"Yes! Pwetty mommy!" He smiles.
"You two are making me blush!" She giggles.
"Hey, we only speak the truth!" Danny smiles.
Jessica giggles and leans over the table to kiss him.
"Kiss! Kiss!" Isaiah puckers his lips.
"Haha! Give me kiss, baby!" She kisses him.

"Zaya, are you ready to pick up sissy?" Jessica asks.
"No.."
"No?! Why not?" She laughs.
"She yells!"
"I know how you feel, son." Danny says.
Jessica laughs and hits Danny's arm.
"Ow! Man, I say we dump your mother with Sarah and Evan, and you and I head to Vegas!" He tells Isaiah.
"Shut up!" Jessica laughs then says, "Well, your sister will probably be calm since she's been playing with Sarah and Evan all day."
She then leans back in her seat and rests her hands on her belly, "Poor baby! He doesn't like yelling!" She pouts her lips.
"He has to get used to that with you two in the house!"
"Daniel!" She hits him again.
"Dammit woman!" He grabs his arm and gets angry as she laughs.

When they get to their house Jessica smiles and holds her arms out for Gabriella to hug her.
"Hi Princess!"
"Daddy!" She runs past Jessica and jumps on Danny.
"Alright then.." Jessica stands up.
"How was your day, Princess?" Danny kisses her cheek.
"Good! I saw something silly!" She giggles.
"What was that?" Danny asks.
"Uh you guys, let's sit!" Sarah nervously says.

They sit down and Gabriella looks over at Jessica, "Oh, hi mommy!"
"Well hello! You walked right past me! I know I'm not easy to miss, so what's up?!" She laughs.

"Jess.. Danny..." Sarah takes a deep breath.
"What's up?" Jessica asks.
"Well... Well here's the thing..here's the thing... the thing is--"
"Oh God, just say it!" Jessica gets antsy.
"Sarah, let me..." Evan touches her arm.
"Is everything okay?" Danny asks as he and Jessica begin to worry.
"Everything's fine... It's just--" Evan says as Sarah interrupts, "Charlie fucked Lola!" She blurts out then quickly covers her mouth with both of her hands.
Jessica's jaw drops and she brings her hands to her chest.
"What?! My Lola?!"
"Yes, and I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Sarah cries.
"Lola, you whore!" Jessica looks sharply at her.
"Jess--"
"What if she's pregnant? Oh God, I can't be a grandmother.. I'm too young! Oh my God, I can't believe my Lola's pregnant!" She slides her hand to her chest.
"Jess, it's okay! I pulled them apart as soon as we found them."
"As soon as you found them?.. Wh- did my baby see them.. Making puppies?!"
"Yes! Jessica, I'm sorry! They snuck away while we were making cupcakes!"
"Wait! I've been here for this long and no one told me that there are cupcakes!" She screams.
"Evan go get her some cupcakes!" Sarah tells him.
He quickly brings them back to her and she stuffs her mouth.
"So you're telling me that my daughter saw our dogs.. Having sex?!" She says that last part in a whisper.
"A little bit!" Sarah cringes.
"A little bit, Sarah?!"
"What?! It's not like she hasn't walked in on you and Danny before!"
"Sa-- Sarah... We don't discuss that." She calms down.
"But Jessica.. It's gonna be okay! I pulled him off of her in time.. I think."
"You think?!"
"Well yeah! I mean that little guy was just ON HER! I went as fast as I could."
"Well then that's good. I guess we just wait and see." Jessica says as they all stare at Lola.

On the way home Jessica sits Lola on her lap like always and she stands up and puts her little paws on her belly.
"My little Lola drove over to aunt Sarah's, a little puppy and came home.. A grown woman!" She starts to cry and runs her hand over her head.
"Awe, baby!" Danny rubs her arm.
"She's not a virgin, Danny!" She looks at him as tears flow.
"It's okay, baby!" He chuckles.

When they get home, Gabriella runs over to Jessica.
"Mommy! Mommy! Look! I drew a picture of the silly thing I saw!" She hands her the picture.
"Oh God!" She gasps.
"This is sooo beautiful! It's so beautiful that we can't show anybody! Okay?!" She smiles.
"Sure!" Gabriella smiles then runs off.
"Oh God!" She sighs, grabs her head and throws herself on the couch.
