A Second Chance

Dada

October 31st.

"Happy Halloween, Grayson! Are you ready to put your little Halloween onesie on?"

Jessica slips it on and clips it closed.

"Oh you're so cute!" She tickles his stomach making him giggle.

"Are you ticklish, big boy?!

*Giggles*

Do you know what your shirt says? Hm? It says Mummy's Boy! And there's a little mummy on it! Aren't you just too cute?!" She smiles.

Jessica goes downstairs and Michael was already down there.

"Hey baby! What are our plans for tonight?" She smiles.

"Well I was thinking I'd go to this party my friend is having tonight."

"Oh.. What friend?"

"Brandon."

"Where is it?"

"His house. His parents will be there!"

"Oh, well alright.."

"Is that okay?"

"Yeah that's fine, go have fun and be safe okay?"

"Yes ma'am.

I'm gonna go play some ball, I'll be back later."

"Okay.."

Michael leaves and Jessica sighs and looks down at Grayson.

"Just me and you again.."

He smiles and kicks his legs.

Jessica kisses his head then sticks him in his walker.

"Wait right here while mommy makes some breakfast, okay?"

Grayson follows her to the kitchen and stands right by her feet.

"Well hello!" She giggles.

"Do you want some nanners? Huh? Here, eat your bananas." Jessica puts some on his little tray and Grayson stuffs his mouth.

"Don't choke yourself, silly!"

That evening Jessica dressed Grayson in his Halloween costume and went over to see her parents.

"Trick or treat!" Jessica smiles holding Grayson.

"Hey little guy!" Albert smiles at him then kisses Jessica's cheek.

"Hi beautiful."

"Hi daddy! Gray, can you say Happy Halloween, grandma and grandpa!"

"Awe! Happy Halloween, Grayson! Look at the little lion!" Dorothy smiles and takes him from Jessica.

"Isn't he cute?!" Jessica smiles.

"He sure is! Where's Michael?"

"At a party.. That boy never wants to be with us anymore." She pouts.
