A Second Chance

The baby chute

"Ow! It hurts!" Tiffany cries.

"It's okay, just breathe, sweetheart." Jessica says rubbing her back.

"Sam, I think this might be it. Why don't you go grab your things and put them downstairs?"

"Okay." He answers his mother with wide eyes.

"Uh.. Mom, I-I.."

"It's gonna be okay, honey." Jessica stands up and holds his arms, then smiles and hugs him tightly.

"Now go get everything so we're ready, okay."

"Okay." He nods.

Sam goes to his room and grabs everything they'll need.
At this time Danny walks in.

"Hey Gray!" He smiles but Grayson doesn't answer.

"Grayson!" He taps his shoulder.

Grayson looks up and gasps.

"Ho daddy!" He takes his headphones off and stands up to give him a hug.

"What's up, buddy? Whatcha watching?"

"Paw patrol! I put these on cause Tiffany keeps screaming too loud."

"She's screaming?"

"Yeah, hers tummy hurts because the baby is almost out."

"Really?" His eyes widen.

"Mhm. *Nods* She scared Fred." He chuckles and points to his puppy resting right beside him.

"Aw, Fred, it's okay!" Danny smiles and pets him.

They suddenly hear Tiffany's screams and Grayson covers his ears.

"It's happening again!"

"It'll be okay. I'm gonna go up and see if everything's okay. Then I'll get washed up and maybe you can help me with dinner." He smiles.

"Yeah! I can be your helper, daddy!"

Danny smiles and kisses his forehead.
"Go on and get back to your show. I'll tell you when I'm ready."

"Okay!" Grayson puts his headphones back on.

"Hey.." Danny knocks lightly.

"Hey honey." Jessica smiles and waddles over to give him a kiss.

"Is everything okay? Gray said Tiffany was hurting?"

"Yeah, she's having some pains, I think it might be it. She's gonna take a hot shower right now, then hopefully get some rest. Our little man is almost here!" Jessica bounces with a smile on her face.

"This is so exciting!"

"I know! I'll leave you two alone, let me know if you guys need anything."

Jessica follows Danny to the room and sits on the toilet lid while he changes.

"Your little butt is so cute!" She baby talks.

"Thanks." He chuckles.

"You're welcome. I'm sorry I didn't have time to make dinner, I was washing the baby's clothes, then I was with those two. Poor things are both so terrified."

"I know, and it's okay. I told Grayson he can be my helper... My little assistant chef." He smiles.

"Awe! *Giggles* You two are so cute together."

"Thanks.. and how's the little lady?" Danny gets on his knees and holds her belly.

"She's being a good girl today. She knows mommy's busy, and she's been pretty chill all day."
