A Second Chance

Ohana

"Danny, this ring!  It's so beautiful!"

"I'm glad you like it.  I wanted it to be perfect."

"Oh Daniel, it IS perfect!"

"Good!"

"What dat mommy?" Grayson grabs her hand and looks at the ring.

"Daddy bought me this ring! We're gonna get married!"

Grayson laughs and Danny says, "Gray! Mommy finally got her prize!"

"Mommy got her pwize! Mommy got her pwize!" He jumps up and down.

"Yeah!"

"What?" Jessica laughs.

"Gray and I went ring shopping a few weeks ago and I told him that I was looking for mommy's surprise. Little man has kept this big secret, isn't that great? There was one little slip, but daddy Danny fixed it, didn't he, Gray?"

Grayson smiles and nods.

Jessica giggles and says, "Well good job, Gray!" She gives him a high five.

"Grayson, you know it's gonna hurt to take those bows off your face, right?"

"No hurt, mommy." He smiles.

"You shouldn't have stuck them everywhere, silly boy!"

Grayson laughs and yanks one off his face.

"Ahh!" He bursts into tears.

"Oh Grayson! Baby, don't pull it off like that!"

"Mommy I scared!" He says in a cute but terrified voice.

"Oh sweetie! *Chuckles* Mommy will help you."

"Look at his poor little face! No more Christmas bows for you, Grayson!" Jessica grabs his cheeks and kisses him.

He pouts and Jessica looks at the clock.

"I guess we better start showers and getting this place ready for family to come over."

Danny helps her up and the boys give her a hug.

"Congratulations, mom. *Smiles* We're all really happy for you." James smiles.

"Awe! My boys!" Jessica tears up and hugs them.

"Danny's a great man. I'm happy you met him." Sam says.

Jessica looks at Danny with a soft smile.

"Me too."

Danny smiles and Zachary walks up to Jessica and hugs her.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy!"

"Awe sweetie! I'm glad! I'm really excited about this next step.  Not just for your father and I, but for all of us as a family." Jessica says looking around at all the boys.

Danny goes to get in the shower, and Jessica follows him so that they can sneak in a few minutes alone.

Jessica smiles and wraps her arms around him.

"We're getting married!"

"I'm so happy, Princess!
You.  You make me so happy."
