June.

"Last day of school, Gray!"

"It's my last day of Kindergarten!  Then I'm gonna be a first grader!"

"My baby boy!  I don't like talking about that!  Grayson, where has the time gone, sweet baby?"

Grayson smiles and shrugs his shoulders.

"I feel like I just found out you were coming into this world.. Now here you are graduating Kindergarten."

"Yep!  Mommy, when I'm in first grade, can I have a girlfriend?"

"Grayson!"

"Can I?"

"No sir!"

"But I'll be a man!"

"My goodness, little boy!" Jessica laughs.

"Where on earth do you get that from?" She asks as she hears Sam speaking to Tiffany from a distance.

"Damn look at that ass!"

"Never mind, I know."

"Let's go, I don't want to be late!"

"Okay, let me just go grab your sister and we'll be on our way!"

Nova was stumbling around the living room chasing Fred and cracking up.

"Come on, Princess, time to go."

"Mama?"

"Yes baby, let's go."

"Mama!" She smiles.

"Novies!" Jessica giggles and picks her up.

"Okay we'll be back.  Samuel, you have a good day at work."

"I'll try." Sam chuckles.

"Gigi!  Gigi!" Samuel runs to Jessica.

"My little Sammy Wammy!  Give me kisses!"

"Muah!"

"Oh I love your sweet kisses!"

Nova looks at him and pokes her finger in his ear as he speaks to Jessica.

"OW!" Samuel overreacts and grabs his ear.

"Nova!  That's not nice!" Jessica grabs her hand.

Samuel hits Nova's thigh and Tiffany shouts, "No sir!  We do not hit!"

"No!" Samuel makes a face and points to his mother.

"Don't tell me no."

Samuel runs to his mother and slaps her thigh before taking off.

"Oh he just wants a spanking!" Sam says.

"I'm not gonna spank him!  But you are going in timeout, mister!" Tiffany chases after him.

"Ahh!"

"Heh! Well you two enjoy your little handful."

"Bye, baby. You have a good day at school, okay?"

"I will! Have a good day too, mommy."

Jessica smiles and gives him a kiss.

"Mmmm!" Nova puckers her lips.

"Muah! I love you too, Novies!"

Jessica smiles and stays there until he is situated.

"Just me and you, Nova. What do you wanna do?"

"Ah! Ah!" Nova hits her mothers chest and begins to fuss.

"We only have boobie time before bedtime, remember?"

Nova looks at her mother with the saddest little eyes.

"Awe, don't look at me like that!"

Nova rubs her red eyes and pouts.

"Nova, you are one spoiled little girl! Come on, let mommy feed you."

Nova smiles and hugs her mother.

That Saturday was Grayson's little Kindergarten graduation ceremony.

"Look at my handsome boy in his little suit!  You're looking so grown up and just like your daddy!"

"Yeah.. we both are good looking men."

Jessica laughs. "Yes you are!"

"And momma, tomowow we go on the airplane to see Mikey and Zach graduate?"

"Yeah.. all my babies are growing up." Jessica says with a sad face.

"It's okay, momma!  We still love you." Grayson pats her shoulder.

"Well I'm thrilled to hear that!" Jessica giggles.

**

The whole family went to Grayson's ceremony, and that made him so happy.
Jessica couldn't believe how big her baby boy was getting.

"Look at our boy, Sammy.." Jessica thought to herself as she watched Grayson.
He had the exact same personality as Sam had.  He was always happy and always joking around.  Times like this really got to Jessica.  She wished more than anything Grayson would've gotten the chance to meet his father.
