Thanksgiving...

Danny woke up early to start cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
Jessica was laying in bed asleep when the smell of turkey hit her nose.
"Oh God.." She moans in her sleep and she starts to toss and turn in her bed.
She started to get horrible cramps in her stomach so she got up and decided to take a hot shower.
It calmed down but the sick feeling in her stomach never really went away.

The kids were still sleeping, so she went down stairs in her black silk robe.
"Good morning, beautiful."
"Good morning." She says in a low voice.
"Happy Thanksgiving!" He kisses her.
"Happy Thanksgiving."
"Are you okay?"
"I feel like shit!"
"Oh no! What's wrong?"
"My stomach is killing me!" She holds her stomach and makes a painful face.
"Do I need to take you to the hospital?"
"No, I'm fine.. I think it's the turkey. When I was pregnant with Isaiah, I couldn't even be near turkey!"
"Awe, my poor baby."
"Thanks. Anyway.. You're a busy bee this morning!" She gives him a weak smile.
"I sure am! This is the first Thanksgiving that your parents will spend with us, I want it to be perfect!"
"Aw you're so cute!" She smiles.
"Hah, thanks.  You hungry?"
"No.."
"What?' He stops what he's doing and looks at her.
She laughs and says, "I'm not hungry."
"Jess, are you okay?"
"Yes, I just don't feel well."
"Well this isn't like you at all!"
"I know, I'm sure I'll be hungry in a little while, but right now I can't even think about food.  Just smelling it is making me sick!"
"Well go lay down and rest."
"Thanks.. Just holler if you need anything."
"I will, now go relax."

Jessica lays in her bed and tries to relax, but the smell of the turkey went throughout the entire house.
She moaned in pain as she grabbed her stomach and tossed in her bed.
"Oh God!" She moans as she quickly gets out of the bed and runs to the bathroom to throw up.
"Shit!" "She says in almost a cry.

She brushes her teeth and goes back to bed.
When she finally falls asleep, she feels a little hand tapping on her belly.
"Huh?  What's wrong?!" She gets up.
"Hi mommy!  Happy Turkey Day!" Gabriella smiles as she stands there with her blanky.
"Awe!  Happy Turkey Day to you too!" She giggles and lifts her up to lay beside her.
"Mommy, Zaya's up too.  I saw him when I past his room.
"He's up?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, stay here.  I'll be right back."Jessica gets up and goes to get Isaiah.

"Hey little guy!  I didn't even hear you!  You're so quiet, I thought you were still asleep!" She smiles as she lifts him.
"Happy Thanksgiving, my handsome boy! Can you say Happy Thanksgiving, mommy!"
"Happy Yanks-iving, mommy!" He smiles.
"Oh thank you so much!" She smiles and kisses his cheek.

She walks back to her room and sits him in the bed before he crawls over on top of her legs.
He puts his hands on her belly and pats her stomach.
"Baby!  Baby!  Baby!" He smiles.
"You're so cute!"
Isaiah kisses her stomach and starts talking to the baby, "Hi baby!  Out!  Come out!" He hits her stomach.
"He's not ready quite yet!" She giggles and grabs his hands.
"We still have a good four months left!"
"I wuv you, baby!" He says in a soft voice as he lays on her stomach.
"Aw, you're so sweet!"
"Baby moving, mommy!" He smiles up at her.
"I know!  He's saying hi big brother!" She smiles at him.
"I wanna feel!  I wanna feel!" Gabriella yells.
"This baby's a little.. Or a lot calmer than you two, at least for right now!  Zaya, when your sister would touch my belly, you would beat the crap out of her!" She says making him laugh.
"Is that funny?!" She smiles.
"And Gabby!" She looks at her.
"Yes mommy?"
"You used to like to stretch your legs out and poke your little foot in between my ribs, or in my belly button! *Laughs* You were a mess!"
"I did that?!"
"Yes! And it hurt!"
"Haha! Sorry!" She says in a cute voice.
"It's okay!" Jessica grabs her chin in her hands and brings her closer to kiss her forehead.
Lola runs over to the bed and climbs her little doggy stairs before she plops herself on Jessica's belly.
"Well hello to you too, Lola." Jessica chuckles.
"Yoya!" Isaiah says as Jessica smiles at him.
"Whatcha doin, girl? Huh?! How's mommy's princess? Mommy's wild princess?" She laughs and runs her hand through her hair.
"Did you have fun with Charlie, yesterday?.. Maybe a little too much fun?"
Jessica laughs and tells the kids, "You know, Lola was mommy and daddy's first baby, before we had you two! We got Lola a little after our honeymoon. I was upset because I was gaining weight, I had been eating so much junk food, and I felt horrible! So daddy and I went for a walk.. We past a pet store, so we went in to look and saw Lola! Daddy and I fell in love with her immediately and we both knew that we had to have her." She smiles.
"Lola was at a pet store?!" Gabriella asks.
"She was!" Jessica smiles then says, "And Gabby, do you know why mommy was feeling sick and gaining weight?"
"Why?"
"Because you were in my tummy!" She pokes Gabriella's stomach and says, "I just didn't know it yet."
"I was in your tummy?!" She giggles.
"Yep! But when we went to your daddy's family's in Mississippii is when I Really got sick! Then when we got back your aunt Sarah was convinced that I was pregnant! She just thinks she knows everything!" She rolls her eyes.
Gabriella laughs and Jessica continues, "Well she even convicted you daddy, so I went to the doctors office, and.. Well.. there you were!" She smiles.
"I was just a little person?"
"Yes you were!" Jessica laughs.
"And aunt Sarah has never let me live it down that she was right and I was wrong!" She nods her head as she hears Danny walk in, "I thought I heard voices. I brought up some breakfast .. Jess baby, you need to eat something."
"I know.. Thank you."
"You look a little better, how do you feel?"
"I feel better.. I threw up though.." She pouts.
"Aw poor baby! Well just relax today. Watch a movie or whatever, I've got everything!" He bends down to kiss her lips.
"Thank you, honey." She smiles.
