Arabella was finished with her breathing treatment, and she and Jessica were waiting for the nurse to come get them for her chest x-ray.
"Daddy's on his way, then they're gonna take a picture of your little chest, and Then we can go home! You can sleep with momma tonight. I'm not ready to stop kissing and hugging you, yet.
I'm sorry that momma doesn't have much lap for you to sit on, but you seem to enjoy my built in pillow! Is my belly comfy?" She smiles and runs her fingers on her soft hair.
Danny walks in and Jessica smiles at him.
"Oh look, daddy's here!"
"Hey baby.. you scared me!" Danny gets on his knees and rubs Arabella's back.
"How's she doing?"
"She's being a big girl. She's exhausted though, I can tell."
"I can see that. Poor baby. She looks so comfortable though." Danny smiles.
"I know, that's what I was saying!" Jessica laughs.
"Mama's like a bean bag chair, isn't she?"
"Danny!" She laughs and hits him.
"Hah! So, what's next?"
"We're waiting on the nurse, to do her x-rays."
"Jess you know how they do x-rays on babies, right?"
"The way they do everyone's?"
"No."
"What do they do?"
"They have to sit her in this thing.. uh, I don't know what it's called, but.. Well, nevermind. Why don't I take the baby and you stay here. You should be off your feet anyway."
"No Danny, what is it?"
"It's..
"What?!"
"It looks like they put the baby in a shot glass."
"What?"
"It's fine, a lot of babies do it!"
"Well it doesn't sound fine!"
Jessica gets her phone out and searches 'baby xray'
"Oh my gosh, they're gonna put my baby in a tupperware bowl!"
"Heh, Jess, she'll be fine! It only lasts a couple seconds."
Jessica rubs her back and rocks her back and forth when the nurse walks in.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Huston, sorry for the wait. You can go ahead and follow me." She smiles.
Jessica takes Arabella and holds her on her chest, then attempts to stand up.
"Jess, let me take her."
"I've got it.
Ugh!" She sighs when she can't pull herself up.
Danny grabbed her arm and lifted her body up off of the chair.
"Thanks."
"No problem."
Danny held Jessica's back as she waddled with the baby in her arms.
"Jessie, let me take her, you're carrying three babies right now." He chuckles.
"I'm fine, Danny." She pats Arabella's back and kisses her head.
They get into the x-ray room and Jessica sees what they are about to put Arabella in.
