A Second Chance

Wasn't meant to be

"Jess, Danny."

"Hm?" Jessica hums and they both look over to Sarah.

"Will you two be Asher's godparents?"

"Awe Sarah, we'd love to!" Jessica smiles.

"Thanks you guys!" Danny says. He was so surprised and happy to be asked.

"Hey little guy! I'm gonna be your God mama! Yes I am! Yes I am, cutie!" Jessica giggles.

***

Forth of July.

Jessica and Danny had everyone over to the house and Danny barbecued.

He was outside having a beer around the pit with George, Evan, Albert and Caroline's father, and Jessica was inside with the girls.

"Mommy, can I go outside with daddy?"

"Just a second, Gray. I'll go out there with you right after I finish this."

"But I go by myself!"

"No because daddy might be busy and I don't want you out by the pool by yourself."

"But-but I wanna-"

Zachary saw him beginning his tantrum, so he said, "I've got him. Come on, Gray, I'll take you."

"Okay.
Mommy you coming too?"

"Yes, I'll be there in a second."

"Mama come!" Grayson cries.

"My goodness, why are you so fussing today? Go with your brother, I will be there in two minutes."

Zachary takes him out and Jane laughs.

"What's with him? You must be pregnant!" Her sister laughs.

"Heh! Definitely not. I don't know what's up with him, he's just been so whiny lately.

Jessica sat out by the pool with an ice cold glass of lemonade. Her hair was pulled up, her sunglasses were on, and her shorts showed off her gorgeous smooth legs.

"Look at this fine woman over here!" Danny says walking over to her.

"Heh! Hi baby." She smiles.

Danny kneels beside her and kisses her lips.
"No, no, no, off of my mommy!" Grayson runs over and pushes himself up on the chair, then lays on top of Jessica.

He pushes Danny away and Jessica chuckles.
"Um, can I help you, son?"

"You give me kisses!" He puckers his lips.

Jessica kisses him and he lays on his chest.

"You little mama's boy!" Danny tickles him.

"Hey no! Don't do that!" Grayson hits Danny's arm.

"Grayson, be nice!" Jessica grabs his hand.

"Ah!" He buries his face in her chest and groans.

"Oh Grayson, why are you so cranky?! It's just so hard being four, isn't it?" She rubs his back.

Grayson nods his head and Jessica chuckles.

"Grayson, look at the fire works!" Jessica smiles at him as she holds him on her hip.

"They loud!" He giggles and covers his ears.

"Yeah! But look how beautiful."
