A Second Chance

She's my best friend

The way he looks at her^^^

The next morning Danny made breakfast before they left for church.

"You love eggs, don't you, Gray?" James smiles at him from across the table.

"Yeah! Yummy!"

They can't help but laugh at his cuteness.

Danny smiles and rubs his back, then leans over and kisses his head.

"Dada!" Grayson smiles and reaches for him.

"Dada?" Sam asks and all the boys look at Jessica.

"Yeah.. Last night Grayson asked Danny if he would be his daddy too.." Jessica reaches over and holds Grayson's hand.

"Awe.. Well that's good. He needs someone to call dad." James says.

"Is that gonna confuse him? I mean, what about his real dad?" Sam asks.

"Grayson will grow up knowing that he has two fathers. His birth father in Heaven and his father that will raise him.
He's a little boy, and he wants a daddy. He needs one.
Yesterday he was sitting with me watching you boys decorate the tree.. Zach called Danny and he was just watching them.. He asked if his daddy was coming back.. My heart breaks everyday for him.  He wants his father.. He doesn't know any better and that makes me feel horrible for him. 
He's lucky to have Daniel."

"I was just asking.  I just don't want dad to be erased."

"Sam, I won't let that happen.  Your father will always be an important part of Grayson's life."

"Thanks Danny." Samuel nods.

"Dat daddy danny!" Grayson points to him and smiles.

Jessica smiles and kisses Grayson's cheek.

"Dis my mama and dada!"

The boys saw the happiness in their little brothers eyes and it made it all okay.

"You okay?" Jessica asks Michael who has tears in his eyes.

"Yeah.." He smiles.

"He looks so happy."

"I know.." Jessica says as they stare at Grayson with a smile on his face.

"Alright, my little man is ready for church!  My big boys are ready!  My man is ready-"

"And my hot mama's ready!" Danny smirks.

Jessica smiles at him coyly, and Michael makes a face.

"Ew!"

Jessica laughs and asks, "Danny, you have Sarah's gift?  Her birthday lunch is right after mass."

"Yep!  Got it."

"Great!  Let's head out."

**

"Happy Birthday, Sarah!" Jessica hugs her.

"Thank you, Jess!"

"Happy Birthday." Danny smiles walking up with Grayson.

"Thanks!
Hey Grayson!"
