The wedding came to the end.  Nova was absolutely exhausted.  Danny held her in his arms and she laid her head on his chest.

"Aw precious baby, are you tired?" Jessica baby talks and rubs her back.

"Sweepy Mama.. go to bed.." Nova says in her adorable sleepy voice.

"I know, honey.  We're leaving, and you can sleep in the car, okay?"

Nova nods and rubs her eyes.

"I love how this is Nova when she's sleepy, and that's Samuel when he's sleepy." Tiffany points to Sam dealing with Samuel.

He was hanging from his father as he sobbed.
"TIRED!  I SLEEPY DADDYYYYY!"

"Stop it." Sam picks him up and Samuel arches his back.

"Don't do that, you're gonna fall!"

"I WANT MY MOMMYYYY!"

Jessica couldn't help but chuckle.
"After raising five boys; four since birth, I am so incredibly blessed to have this sweet baby girl.  She can be sassy but her tantrums are not nearly as bad as her brothers were."

"Let's not jinx it, hun." Danny says softly bouncing Nova and gently patting her back.

Jessica chuckles.

"Mom, what the hell happened to your hair?" Michael asks stumbling over with his arm around his girlfriend.

"I was chasing after the kids and it messed up." Jessica bluffs.

"She and Danny fucked in the barn." Sam says.

"Mom!"

"That's so sweet!" Skye smiles.

"No it's not!  Nothing about that is sweet!" Michael says.

"It is!  All these kids and they still look at each other and get that feeling of I need you now!  I hope I have that when I'm married."

"Still!  They had sex!  Oh God, wait till I tell Zach!"

"You're not telling Zachary!  No one should no about this!  Daniel, this is all your fault!" Jessica smacks his arm.

"Home mama!  Hoooome!" Nova cries softly.

"I'm sorry, baby! Well I hate to leave this.. brilliant conversation but I must get these babies home." Jessica looks looks over to Grayson and Nova.

"I'm okay, mom.." Grayson says fighting exhausted.

"You're tired, baby. It's okay, we're going home."

"Wanna take Samuel?" Sam smiles.

"I love my sweet baby.. but no. Heh! He's your responsibility, son." Jessica chuckles.

On the drive home both kids fell asleep.
Danny carried Grayson in and Jessica took Nova.

"Babe, he's heavy. Just wake him up and help him inside."

"No, it's fine." Danny whispers.

Jessica takes Nova upstairs to her room. She carefully undressed her and checks her diaper.
She was wet so Jessica grabbed a diaper and some wipes.

"Mommy.." She whines and stretches out.

"Shh, shh, shh, you're okay. Go back to sleep, baby."

"Sweepy.."

"I know you're sleepy. Being a flower girl is tough, huh?"

"Yeah.." Nove stretches out and rubs her eyes.
