After James and Caroline had their moment alone with their new babies, Jessica went out to get the family.

"Who wants to meet the babies?" She smiles.

"Mama!" Nova runs to her.

"Oh you're just happy to see me, aren't you, pretty girl?"

"Mish yew!" Nova lays her head on her mother.

"Oh my goodness, you haven't seen me in ages, have you?" Jessica jokes as she rubs Nova's back.

"Are they cute, momma?" Grayson asks.

"They are SO cute!"

"Can we see them?!"

"Yes!"

Jessica led the guys to their room with Nova on her hip.

"Eyesh! Eyesh, mama!" Nova says poking Jessica's eye as they walked.

"Heh! Good girl!"

"Lipsh! Lipsh!"

"You're so smart, pretty girl!"

"Yay!" Nova claps her hands.

"Yay!" Jessica laughs.

"Oh look at them! We have three grand babies, baby!" Danny smiles.

"I know! And we've lucked out because their all cute!"

Danny chuckles and rubs her back.

"Babies? Babies, mama?" Nova points.

"Yeah, precious! The babies came out, huh?"

"Cooome ouuut!"

"They did come out! Good girl!"

James walks over with Lyla in his arms and Nova gasps.

"Haha! She's pretty, isn't she?"

"Yeah! Kish? Kish?"

"You can give her kisses, but very very gentle, okay?"

"Otay!"

Nova leans forward and kisses her softly.

"Oh!" She giggles.

James chuckles.

"This is your aunt Nova, Lyla."

"Dat baby!" Nova points.

"Yeah!  She's your niece!"

"Nieeeece!"

"Good girl!"

"Nieeece!  Nieeece!  Nieeeece!"

"Nova!" Jessica laughs.

"Quiet voice, baby!"

"What's she doing?" Danny laughs.

"Nieeeece, Dada!" Nova to the baby once again.

"She's learned that she's her niece.. or she just thinks that her name." Jessica chuckles.

"NIEEEECE!"

"What a cutie!" Jessica kisses her cheek.

April.

"Happy Birthday, mommy!  You're thirty eight today!"

"Thank you so much for reminding me, Gray." Jessica smiles and gives him a hug.

"Grrrrr!"

"What, Novies?"

"I cannot believe she says his name like that!" Jessica laughs.
