July.

Caroline and James are leaving for their trip in just a few days so Jessica is making dinner for all of her boys so they can have a family meal before they leave.

"Mmm!  Smells good, baby." Danny said as he walked over to her then held her waist as she cooked.

"Thanks honey!  Wanna taste?" She turns to him and smiles.

"Of you or the food?  I'd prefer you."

"Stop it!" Jessica giggles.

"Yes.  Please stop it." Sam says walking in and interrupting their little moment.

"Sam, I swear you have an alarm that goes off every time I touch your mother." Danny says.

"Heh, just think of me as a form of birth control, big guy."

Danny laughs and Jessica rolls her eyes.
"Did you want something, Samuel?"

"Oh.. Do I need a reason to walk into my own kitchen?"

"Sam." Jessica glares at him.

"Is it almost ready?  I'm hungry!" Sam whines.

"Yes it's almost ready."

Just then Nova walks in in tears.

"Oh my poor baby!  She's hungry, isn't she?" Jessica baby talks as she picks her up.

"You're gonna feed her?!"

Jessica gives him a weird look and turns a little so Nova can eat without Jessica being exposed.

"I didn't know you wanted to be nursed, Sam." Danny chuckles.

"Oh God!  That's not what I meant!  Please don't ever-- Ahh!" Sam runs out of the kitchen.

Jessica and Danny both laugh.
"Your brother is a dork, Novies!" Jessica baby talks to her.

Jessica finished up one handed and Danny helped her a bit as well.
As soon as they heard the front door Jessica got excited.

"Your brother and Caro are here!  Are you finished eating so we can say hi?"

Nova nods and covers her mother back up.

"Thanks for the help!" Jessica giggles before running to the living room.

"Hi my baby boy!" She hugs and kisses James.

"Hi sweetheart, how are you?"

"I'm doing well." Caroline said with a smile.

"Good!  Are you two ready for your trip?"

"Oh yes!"

"That's so exciting!  That's awesome that you two decided on Ireland!"

"Ireland is just the start!  Me and my baby are gonna travel everywhere this summer." James smiles and grabs her hand.

"That's so great!  You two really deserve it."

"Thanks mom."

"Well who's ready to eat?!"

"ME!" Baby Samuel runs in.

Jessica laughs.
"You sound just like daddy!"
