A Second Chance

Del Taco

The next morning.

"Danny, I'm sorry about blowing you off last night, but I'm not ready to have sex with you yet.. I'm still healing, and.. I just feel like should.. I.. Nothing."

"What, babe,"

"I just don't feel comfortable making love to you when I look like this."

"What are you talking about? You're gorgeous!"

"I gained so much weight with this pregnancy! I was a big ole house and she was just this tiny baby! Now I just.. I don't look like myself and your so-"

"Jessica, stop. Your body is so beautiful. If you don't feel like having sex yet it's okay. I shouldn't have made you feel bad. I can't imagine a head ripping me apart, then have someone bug me to jam a fucking-"

"Alright Danny!" Jessica laughs.

"Heh.. Well anyway.. I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry? We'll have great sex again once you're ready."

"Just let me go to the gym first!"

"Baby, you don't need to do that! You're perfect just the way you are." Danny smiles softly.

"Well thanks, but-"

"No but's! I said you're perfect just the way you are, dammit!"

Jessica laughs and places her hands on his arms.

"Oh Mr. Huston. How on did I get so incredibly blessed to have you?"

"I ask myself the same question every single day.  I love my little Jessikins." Danny smiles.

"Awe!  I love my Dannyboo!"

He chuckles and kisses her lips.

Jessica breaks the kiss and says, "Now!  About Michael!"

"What about Michael?" Danny sits down on the bed and gets ready to hear what his wife has to say.

"I won't let him drop out for some girl.  His father would be so disappointed in him.  I will be and I know you will too."

"Yes." Danny nods.

"He may be upset with me but.. That's life and sometimes it sucks, baby."

Danny continues to nod as he listens intently.

"I want my boys to be successful.  Get Your Ass Back To School!"

"I agree with you, honey."

Suddenly Nova starts to make noises in her little bassinet.

Jessica walks over and picks her up.  She kisses her cheek and says, "Ohh!  Why can't they just stay this little forever?  So sweet and so innocent.."

Nova looks up to her mother and coos loudly.

"Oh my baby girl!  I love it when you talk to me with your sweet little voice!"

Nova smiles and Jessica giggles, "You're so pretty! *Laughs* You like to be called pretty, don't you?" She says as the baby's toothless little smile becomes bigger and bigger.

Jessica sits beside Danny on the bed and he smiles down to their daughter.

"You're in such a happy mood, aren't you, love bug?"
