"Jessica, look at this little outfit!" 

"Awe!  He'd look like a little man!" Jessica smiles.

"Right?  Oh gosh, I want a boy!"

"Have one, then we'll be pregnant together!"

"Oh no!  Haha, not yet!  Give me a few years, then we'll see."

"Alright, *Laughs* Look at this one!" Jessica holds up a blue onesie that says Little Brother.

"Awe!  Jessica, I can't wait for you to have the baby!"

"Me either!  He's gonna look so cute in all this stuff!"

Thursday.  

"Happy Birthday!!"Jessica smiles when Michael comes downstairs.

"Thanks, mom!" 

Jessica hugs him tight and kisses his cheek.

"My boy is so big!"

She gets tears in her eyes and Michael says, "No, don't do that!"

"I'm sorry!  I just can't help it!

It seems like just yesterday I was in labor with you!  

... Hah.. Oh gosh.. It was a circus.."

August 2002

"Here's your cereal, boys."

"No cereal!" Sam hits the bowl, making a mess everywhere.

"Samuel!  No sir!" Jessica grabs his hand, and lightly taps it, making him cry loudly.

"I didn't hit you hard, now stop that crying!"

Sam had been staying with Jessica and her family, to help with the boys, since Jessica was due any day now.

"Jessica Lange!  Get off that floor!" Sam says walking into the kitchen.

He grabs her arm and helps her up.

"Your son spilled his cereal because he didn't feel like eating that today."

"Samuel!  Don't be a bad boy!"

"I like mine, mommy!" James smiles.

"Good baby." Jessica smiles and kisses his head.

Jessica sits the bowl on the counter and sighs.

"How's Michael doing this morning?"

"Sam.. I don't think he's ever coming out!"

"Awe, of course he is!  He's only three days over do."

"He's three days old and he's still inside of me!" She raises her voice.  

Sam smiles and moves a straggle piece of hair behind her ear.

"You're so beautiful, Jessica."

"No I'm not." She nods and gives him a small smile.

"Yes you are.  I love you so much."

"I love you too, Sam."

Sam softly touches her and leans in to kiss her lips.

The boys laugh as they kiss, but they don't break apart.

"Oh my gosh!" Jessica pulls away.

"Are you okay?"

"My water just broke!" She looks at him with wide eyes.

"Oh my gosh!  

We don't have to go to school today!" He says making Jessica laugh.

"We have to get you to the hospital!

Dorothy!  Al!  Everyone get down here!!"

Everyone comes down and sees Jessica smiling with fear in her eyes.

"Jessica's water just broke!  We're havin a babyyyy!"

"Ah!  Michael's on his way!" Dorothy runs over.

"Sam, go get my bags."

"On it, honey." 

"George, clean this up!" She says referring to the spilt milk.

"Milk came out of you?!" He looks at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"No, stupid!  Samuel spilled his cereal.  My water is mixed in there too though."

"Great."

"Boys, boys!  Come here." Jessica walks over to their highchairs and kisses both of them.

"Oh my baby boys!  You be good for your aunt's and uncle, okay?"

"Where you going, mommy?" James asks.

"I'm gonna go have the baby!" She smiles.

"Mikey, coming?" Sam asks.

"Yeah!  You two are gonna be big brothers!  Are you ready?"

"YEAH!" They both lift their hands in the air.

"I love you, both so so much." She kisses them again.

"I love you too, mommy!" They both say.

"I kiss the baby!" James says, before Samuel laughs, "That mommy's basket ball in her tummy!"

Jessica laughs and her eyes tear up.

"I got the bags." Sam runs down and stands beside her."

"I've got the baby!" She smiles and holds her stomach.

"Let's go get our boy, baby girl!" He smiles, then kisses her stomach, before kissing her lips.

15 hours later.

"Ah!  Ohhhhhhh.... Ohhhhhh... I want an epidural!"

"Baby, we waited to long for that, you're almost fully dilated."

Jessica whines as she leans over the bed.

Sam rubs her back, as she sways her hips.

"You're doing so well, you're almost done, beautiful."

Jessica closed her eyes and breathed in and out.

Suddenly it hit her harder.

"Ah!" She leans forward.

"You're okay!  Just breathe, Jessie."

"I have to push!"

"You do?  Okay, let's lay you back down, and I'll grab the doctor."

Jessica breathes in a out, while she rolls her body on the bed.

"You're okay, Jessica.  I'm so proud of you." Dorothy rubs her thumb on her forehead.

"Mmmm!!" Jessica moans with her eyes shut.

A nurse comes in and checks her.

"Yep, fully dilated!  Ready to have a baby?" She smiles.

"Yes.." Jessica says not sounding at all amused.

"I have to puuuush!" She whines.

"The doctor is on his way, let's do a few practice pushes until he gets here.

Pull your legs back, and take a deep breath in, then push it out straight into your bottom."

Jessica does what she says, and pushes as hard as she can.

"Oh!" She gasps.

"I can't do it!"

"Yes you can, you're doing beautifully!" The nurse says.

"Jessie, you're doing so good!" Sam says.

"I'm not moving him down at all!" She says in a sad tone.

"Yes you are!  He's almost there!  Just keep going, and you'll be crowning soon." The nurse says.

"Come on, baby, I know you can do this, you ready?" Sam looks deep into her eyes, while holding her hand.

"Yeah.."

"Alright, big push.  Three.. Two.. One!" Sam counts her off.

30 minutes later.

"Oh God, I want him out!"

"Push, Jessica!" The doctor instructed.

"Ahhhaaa!"

"Good, I can see his head!"

Sam looks down and smiles, "Oh Jessie, he's coming!  I'm so proud of you!  You're doing so well, princess!"

"He's hurting me!" She yells.

Sam looks back down and covers his mouth as his eyes widen.

"Oh my God!"

"Oh my God, what?!" Jessica panics.

"Nothing!  Just keep going!"

"No what is it?!"

"Just a slight tear, nothing too bad.  Now relax, and take deep breathes, till the next contraction comes." Her doctor says.

Jessica lays back and breathes heavy.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too." Jessica smiles at Sam.

"Ow.. Ow, I'm getting another one!"

"Alright, you can do this!  Now push that baby out!"

...

"Good job, Jessica  He's almost out!"

"Ahhhh!  Oooooowwww!"

"Keep going!  Keep going!"

"Ah!"

"Oh my gosh, he's here!" Sam smiles big with tears running down his face.

"Oh my goodness!  Hi, Michael!  Oh you're such a big boy!" Jessica cries.

Sam smiles and brushes her hair back.

"You did so good!"

"Thank you." She smiles.

"I love you, baby."

"I love you more."

"Not possible, woman." Sam smirks.

Jessica chuckles and Sam leans in to kiss her lips.
