"I love you Mr. Shepard."

As Jessica was tucking Abby in, Abby was asking tons of questions.

"Can I tell grandma?"

"Not yet."

"Will we have to share a room?"

"No, go to sleep."

"Where do babies come from?"

"Abby, shh go to sleep." Jessica says laughing and kissing her daughter's head.

"I love you mommy."

"I love you too sweetheart."

"Oh my god Sam our daughter's a mess, I told you public school was a bad idea."

"Public schools are better for her. I don't want her to turn into a snob." He said looking over at her.

"I'd rather have her a snob than her ask about what sex is."

"She asked you that?"

"No she asked me where babies come from."

"That's a normal child question Jessie."

"I'm stressing out about her going to public school, you know how I feel about it."

"Shh she'll be fine. She's at the best school in Minnesota."

"I know, I'm just a stressor."

"It isn't healthy for my princess to stress." He reach over and grabbed her belly.

"You mean prince?" She looked over at him and raised an eyebrow.

"You heard me."

"Not correctly obviously."

"This baby is a girl." He rubbed her belly and she glanced over at him.

"No."

"We should go on a trip soon and take Abby to see the coast."

"Of California?" Her eyes widen.

"Yes, we could go to our beach house."

"Yes I guess so. What about in July for the 4th of July weekend?"

"Sounds great to me. We just need to get a trip in before the baby."

Jessica laid down and sighed. Sam cuddled up to her and kissed her cheek.

"I love you."
"Love you too Sam."
