Jessica went on and just kept her feelings to herself, even though what Danny said really bothered her.
Was he blaming her for not being able to bear a child? That's when Jessica's anxiety kicked in. What if he left her for someone that could give him another child? Of course that was silly. Jessica gave Danny five beautiful kids. He would never leave her or his children.
Jackson's 8th birthday.
"How in the world can my baby be eight? Like that's so crazy! It's not possible, you're just a baby!"
"He's a big boy now!" Danny smiles.
"Yeah and I'm almost ten."
"No don't do that to me!" Jessica hugs him tight.
"You're momma's little baby ALWAYS!"
"No ME!" Joseph runs over and throws his face in her lap.
"Awe! You're momma's baby too!"
"He's a big boy too! Joe, how old are you gonna be tomorrow?"
"Gonna be two!" He looks at Danny and smiles as he shows his father two little fingers.
"Two! Such a grown man already!" Danny jokes.
Jessica chuckles and says, "I get sad with all these birthday's. Can't you all just stay this age forever?"
"Right? I told ya, if you could I'd make sure you were popping these things out every couple years."
Jessica looks at him then looks down and sighs.
She rubs Joseph's back and says, "Let's eat some yummy breakfast."

"Happy Birthday, boys!"
"We two mommy!" Joseph holds his little fingers up.
"Yes you are! I can't believe it!"
"Hey! I two too!" Arabella says standing at her mother's feet beside her brother's cribs.
"I know you're two too! You're almost three!"
"Yeah cause I a big big big girl!"
"Yes you are, princess!
Now can you say happy birthday to your brothers?"
"No it my birthday." Arabella touches her chest.
"No it's not, silly!"
"Yeah it is!" Arabella giggles.
"No it not!" Joshua narrows his brows and becomes frustrated with his sister.
"Yes it is!"
"Alright enough you guys. Bella, it's your brother's birthday, yours is in February babe."
"Daddy's babe, I not babe." She nods.
"My goodness you just know everything!" Jessica laughs.
"Is daddy my babe?"
