A Second Chance

Too old

The next day they had brunch at a little cafe, then went back to their hotel and got ready to see the play Danny got them tickets for.

**

"Oh wow, that was amazing!
Thank you so much for getting us those tickets!"

"You're welcome!  It was really good, I enjoyed it."

"It was great! 
You know, when I was younger, I always dreamed of becoming an actress.. But I became a mommy instead, and I have no regrets."

"Well I'm sure you would have made an amazing actress.. Just like you've made an amazing mommy."

"Thanks." Jessica smiles and Danny kisses her forehead.

"Jess, why don't we go out to a club tonight?"

"Oh god, Danny. You can't be serious!"

"I am! Why not? The night is young!"

"Yeah but we're not!"

Danny laughs and says, "Yeah we are!"

"Well we're not twenty anymore. Even when I was twenty, I never really partied.. Well I guess that's because I had three kids.. But still!"

"Let's just go! Come on, it might be fun..
Jessie, we're in New York, let's just have some fun and let lose! Let's pretend we're not parents tonight."

Jessica pauses, then gives Danny a smirk.

"Alright."

"Yeah!! Let's find a taxi though, I'm not walking that far!"

Jessica laughs and rolls her eyes.

"What?!  I had a knee replacement!"

"Oh my gosh, you're such an old man!"

"Hey, you stop it, little missy!" Danny grabs her, then tickles her, making her laugh uncontrollably.

"Danny stop, I'm gonna pee!!"

"Need some depends, old lady?"

"Fuck off!"

Danny's jaw drops and he laughs at what she said.

**

"Danny, I hate this."

"Let's just get some drinks.  Pretend we fit in." He says before stumbling over to the bar.

"Hey!  Guy!  We need two of.. Those things!" He points to a drink a couple has beside him.

"Danny, would you stop it!  You're embarrassing yourself!" Jessica says pulling on his arm.

"You just have to fit in." He turns to her and smiles.

They get their drinks and stand in the middle of the crowd.

Jessica looks around at everyone pretty much dancing on top of her and makes a face.

"I'm still not liking this!"
