A Second Chance

I'm never having kids!

While Jessica and the two boys were in line for the tower of terror, James stayed with the baby.

"Since you're asleep, brother is going to go find Mickey Mouse and you're gonna take a picture. Without tears!!"

James grabs their things and walks around the park.

"There he is!!

Mickey!!" He waves him down.

"Will you hold my little brother?"

James hands him over and takes the picture.

"Awesome! Mom's gonna love this! Thanks!" He says looking at the picture.

Grayson slowly opens his eyes and focuses them on the character.

"Eh!"

"Oh no.." James says seconds before Grayson bursts into tears.

"Crap! Come here, Gray." He takes him and walks back to where they were before.

"Shhh! Grayson, it's been ten minutes, you're fine!

Please stop crying!" He whines as he bounces him up and down.

Grayson doesn't stop, but seems to be getting louder and louder.

"Ah.. Mom?!" James looks around desperately wanting his mom.

"Oh thank God! Finally!!"

"What's wrong with my baby?"

"He won't stop crying!" James says on the verge of tears.

"Aw." Jessica takes him, then looks into James's eyes and places her palm softly on his cheek.

"Do you need a dipey?" She asks pulling on his little pants.

"No I checked that.

He was scared."

"Of what?"

James sighs and says, "I took him back to the mouse.."

"Why? His poor little heart! It's beating so fast!"
Jessica pouts rubbing Grayson's chest.

"I wanted this picture and he woke up right after." James shows her the picture and Jessica smiles.

"Awe! He's so cute! Thank you, James!"

"You're welcome.

But then he woke up and he's been crying for half an hour!"

"Oh no! Well mama's here, baby boy! Don't cry, mama's got you." Jessica holds him to her chest and bounces him as he calms down.

James watches and chuckles, then looks at Jessica with exhaustion.

"I need a nap!" He sighs making her laugh.
