May.

"Sammy, please please be good for Gigi and Grandpa tonight. If you don't listen, there will be consequences, understand?"

"I understand."

"Good boy. Have fun with Nova and Grayson, but try and be a big helper with Tabbi, okay?"

"Okay!" Samuel smiles.

"Thank you, sweet boy." Tiffany kisses his cheek then stands up.

She takes Tabitha from Sam to give her kisses.
"You be good too, baby girl. Mommy and daddy will be back in the morning!"

Tabitha fusses and reaches for Sam.

"Ohh! She wants her dad!" He smiles and snatches her back.

"You love daddy, don't you, beautiful girl?" Sam baby talks and kisses Tabitha all over her face.

Jessica smiled as she watched Sam with the baby.

"She's gonna miss me!" He pouts.

"But you'll have Gigi!" Jessica smiles.

"No one compares to daddy, momma."

"Heh! Well maybe not, but I'm pretty awesome, Tabbi!"

Eventually the two were off. Tabitha was not happy, and cried for an hour straight until she wore herself out and fell asleep.

"She's finally out." Danny whispers trying to lay her down in the playpen.

Tabitha starts whining so Danny quickly brings her to his chest.

"Okay, we're still bouncing!" He says continuing his 'Baby bounce'.

Jessica laughs as she folds the kids' laundry.

"Mom?" Grayson walks over and sits beside his mother.
"Yes, baby?"

"I need help with my homework."

"Well sit down, love! Your mama is one smart lady!" Jessica smiles.

Danny scoffs.

"Hey! You stop that!"

Jessica looks down at his homework and pauses for a while. She then sighs and turns to Grayson.
"Have you tried google?" She says in a low voice.

"Google?! Oh gosh, Gray, come here." Danny says.

"What?! I don't have my glasses!"

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Save it, blondie!"

Jessica laughs and packs the folded clothes into the laundry basket.

"Whatchu doin, mommy?" Nova runs over to her.

"I'm gonna take these clothes up to yours and Grayson's rooms.

"Me and Sam Sam can do it!" Nova says attempting to grab the basket.

"I don't think so, my love."

"Yes! Gimmie, Gigi!" Samuel lifts his hands.

"What are you two up to?"

"Nothing, mommy!" Nova smiles.

"I don't believe you!"
Jessica then walks towards the stairs and the two kids scream trying to stop her.

"No! Gigi, DON'T!"

"They did something!" Grayson chuckles and nods his head.

When Jessica got up to Nova's room, she reached for the doorknob and Nova jumped up trying to grab her hand.
