Spring Break 2020.

Due to Jessica's health the Huston family had to stay in.  Luckily the kids didn't mind.  As long as they were with their mother nothing else mattered to them.

Currently the kids are all in their parent's bedroom.  The younger four were coloring with their mother, and the older two just sat around enjoying the sound of their mother's voice and laugh.

"Mommy, I'm so glad you're back to give me my medicine!  Daddy doesn't do it right!" Arabella pouts.

"Aw he doesn't?" Jessica chuckles.

"Nope!"

"Well I'm sorry!  But mommy's back, and she's not going anywhere, Bella!" She says with a gorgeous smile.

"No she's not!" Coltan says cuddling into his mother.

"I love you so so much, mommy!"

"I love you so much more, Coltan!"

"I'm gonna take a nap on you, okay?"

Jessica giggles.
"You go ahead, baby boy!  There's no better place to sleep on than mommy, huh?"

"Yep.."

Jessica laughed at how quickly Coltan went out.

"Momma, maybe you'll be okay for us to all go to the beach?" Joshua randomly asked.

"Mommy has to stay home, JOSHUA!" Joseph shouts.

"I just meant one time only JOSEPH!"

"Boys don't fight.  I don't see why we couldn't go at least for a little while.."

"Are you sure momma?" Jackson asks.

"Yeah buddy, I'm feeling great!" Jessica smiles.

"We should talk to daddy about it first." Sofia says.

"Daddy is gonna do whatever I say because I'm the boss!" Jessica says making her children laugh.

After some convincing, Danny decided to rent a beach house for the weekend.  If Jessica wanted to go to the beach, he was going to grant her wish.  But with the health of his wife, and the current scare in the world, he wanted to take the more safe approach.

Jessica was still weak in many ways, so Danny would push her around in a wheelchair so she wouldn't get too tired.  He also had to stay on top of all of Jessica's medications even though they were on a mini vacation.

Sofia admired the love her parent's had for each other.  She knows that they have gone through hard times, but the fact that after all of that.  After the lying, cheating, yelling, and ex lovers coming in to ruin things.  After all of that, her parents are still together, and stronger than ever.

On their last night at the beach house they all sat around a bonfire roasting marshmallows.

"I love this." Sofia smiled.  Her eyes twinkling like the beautiful stars above.

"It's been a fun weekend, huh?" Jessica smiles.

"The best!  I'm so happy we're all back together."

"Nothing will ever tear us apart, baby girl." Jessica says. "I'm so happy God has given us second, third, and fourth chances!  I will forever be so grateful."

"Me too." Danny agrees earning a beautiful smile from his wife.

Danny had his music connected to a bluetooth  speaker.  The music was on shuffle, and the next song to play was, "You're still the one" by Shania Twain.
