A Second Chance

My babies are 20

"Okay, this is our last full day here! We have a sibling picture with Mickey and a family picture! Now want one of my baby with him."

Jessica looks at Grayson with a smile and he nods his head no.

"I not doing that!"

"Grayson, yes you are!"

Jessica stood next to the character and held Grayson as he stared in fear.

She decided to just go for it and hand him over now.

"Ahh!" Grayson pulled Jessica by the hair, but she managed to sneak away from him.

"Just smile and you'll be done!"

Grayson screamed and Jessica couldn't help but laugh.

"Just take it! Oh I feel so bad for laughing, but it's so funny! Come here, my baby!"

July 6th. The twins 20th birthday.

They are now back home in Minnesota.
Danny was woken up by Jessica who was in tears beside him.

"Hey.. What's wrong?" Danny sits up and places his warm hand on her back.

"My babies are twenty years old today!" She struggles to speak.

"Awe honey."

"They're so old now! Which means I'm-"

"You're not old!" Danny chuckles.

"But still! They're all grown up now! They're not teenagers.. They're adults and that just makes me so sad!"

"Sweetie, they'll always be your babies."

"It's just hard, Danny."

"I know. I understand. I just hate seeing you upset." He says before kissing her temple.

"It's okay to cry.." Danny says rubbing her side.

Jessica looks at him and starts bawling before she grabs him and buries her face in his chest.

"Happy Birthday, my baby boys! I love you both so much."

"We love you too, mom! Can you believe we're twenty?! Ah! It's so crazy! One more year till we're legal!"

"Don't rush it, Samuel!" Jessica hits his arm.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"I'm sorry.. It's just hard on me to watch my babies grow up...
You were just warm and cozy in my tummy.. Then warm and cozy in my arms.. Now you're both giants and I can't even kiss your cheek without you bending down and me going up on my tippy toes." She pouts.

James chuckles and hugs his mother.

"You're great, mom. Thank you for keeping us warm and cozy for nine months. Thank you for birthing us, and for raising us to be great men. I hope that we'll always make you proud."

"Oh James-Y! My baby boy!" Jessica bawls and hugs him tight.

"You boys always make me proud.

July 10th- Angelica's POV.

"Mom, how are things at home? Dad isn't hurting you, is he?"

"No. No honey, he's not doing anything."

Zoe just looked down and rubbed her hand up and down her arm.
