"I love you Mr. Shepard."

Twenty-Six

Jessica let Susan take the girls home with her so she could have quiet. With a little struggle from Abby Susan took her. Jessica looked over at Sam and smiled softly.

"We have two children." Jessica said smiling.

"I know, it's crazy."

There was a knock on the door and Jessica smiled even brighter as they brought the baby back in the room.

"He's perfectly healthy mommy." The nurse said with a bright smile.

"Thank goodness!"

When the nurse handed the baby to Jessica her smiled became even wider than before.

"If you need anything, press the red button."

"Okay, thank you."

"Oh Jessica he's so precious." Sam said as he smiled at Waylon. The baby scrunched up his face. Jessica handed Waylon to Sam and watched them.

"Hello there, my future football player."

"He's not going to be a football player, football is dangerous!"

Waylon's little face turned red as he started to cry.

"Oh no Jess I broke him." He said with a panicked look on his face.

Jessica laughed and shook her head.

"Hand me him."

As soon as Sam laid Waylon back on Jessica he stopped crying.

"Mother's touch." Jessica said kissing his little head.

"Oh lord Jessica he's going to be spoiled!"

"That's okay, he's our last baby."

"Awe, really?"

"Yes, I'm not up for more babies. When I first saw him I vowed to have ten more."

"What changed your mind?"

"The drugs wore off." She said giggling at the baby, who was smiling in his sleep.

"He looks just like you Sam."

"No, look at that little nose and his eye shape."

"He's perfect."

"That he is."
