"So since sex is out of our systems, you boys can come any day now!" Jessica says slouching in bed next to Danny and looking straight at her stomach.

*Chuckles* "We're ready for you, boys!" He rubs her bulging belly.

"Ooh, that was a big kick!" Jessica smiles cutely at Danny.

"It was! They're strong little guys!"

"You always kick a lot when you feel your daddy, don't you? You're daddy's little guys!" Jessica baby talks.

Danny bends down and kisses her stomach.

"Look how big it is!  I'm like eye level with my stomach and it looks like a giant mountain!" She laughs.

"Hah!  I've always thought a big belly was beautiful on you, Jessie."

Jessica smiles and places her palm on his cheek.

She gives him a kiss, then rolls to her side and says, "Goodnight, Mr. Huston."

"Night, Ms. Lange."

39 weeks.

"I'm thirty nine weeks today.  Why am I still pregnant?"

"Heh, they just think you're too comfy, baby!" Danny smiles.

"Well they need to get out!"

"They'll be out soon."

"Danny, it hurts!"

"I know, I'm sorry."

"No you're not!"

"Okay.."

"Don't be like that!"

"Whoa, what happened?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, honey.  Can I get you anything?"

"A time machine and tell me to keep my legs crossed."

"Oh baby, you don't mean that!"

"Yes I do!"

"No you don't, you love your boys! It's just this pregnancy taking over your brain."

Jessica just stares at him with an evil glance, and her lips pursed.

"You want me to make you some tea?" He smiles.

"No, you're crippled.  Speaking of your crippled ass. How is that gonna work in the delivery room?!"

"Honey, you do know I'm not the one giving birth, right?"

"Yes I do know that!  But I'm over there fucking bringing life into this world, and you can barely move!"

"Honey, I'm fine!"

"Sure you are."

Danny decides to just leave her alone.  He's seen Jessica pregnant a few times now, and he knows he should just let her be.

She's never been this moody, but he understands that she's in even more discomfort because she's carrying twins.

Jessica watches Danny sit there in silence and she starts to cry.

"What's wrong?" He looks up when he hears her cry.

Jessica covers her mouth and mumbles, "I'm just so sorry!  I didn't mean to be mean!  I almost lost you for ever and I don't want to be mean to you!  I'm so sorry!"
