"Okay, changing baby boy's diapers can be tricky.  I've never known anything else, so I've got it down pretty well.  You have to shield his little mister gently okay?  If not you'll get pee all over you, and that isn't fun.  You boys, especially the twins got me all the time!  Your father and I were young and new to the whole thing, so we were constantly drenched."

"Heh!  That's funny!" James laughs.

"It was not!"

"Alright, alright, hold his thing up and what else?" Sam asks.

"Not up, he'll pee on himself!  Like this."

Jessica shows the boys, then moves aside and says, "Samuel, you go first.  It's not a stinky one, so you've lucked out."

"Okay..." He says in a nervous tone.

"Grab his little legs, and make sure he's all clean.

...

Now close up the diaper and make sure it doesn't fall off of him." She chuckles.

Sam picks him up and lightly moves him up and down.

"I did it!" He smiles.

"Good job, baby!" Jessica smiles and pats his back.

"Now you two might need to help each other, because the next one will probably be a dirty diaper."

"Oh great!" Michael and James look to each other.

"Oh my gosh! *Gags* This is unnatural!  Why does a little boy just a week old have this gross of a diaper?" James asks.

"Oh come on boys, it's not bad!"

"Mom, my eyes are watering!" Michael says.

"You're fine!" Jessica slaps his arm with a diaper.

"Grayson, you're cute.. But man you're smelly!"

Jessica hits James' arm and says, "Awe don't tell him that!  That's not nice, is it Gray?  No it's not, baby boy!" Jessica cups his little face and kisses him.

Once thanksgiving break was over, Jessica and Grayson were on their own for a few hours while the boys were at school.

"Are you sure you're okay by yourself, mom?" James asks.

"Yeah baby, we'll be fine!" She smiles.

"Okay.. Call us if you need anything."

"Thanks James."

"That's nicer than Sam." Michael says.

"What?"

"Mikey, shut up."

"What did he say?" Jessica chuckles.

"That he was excited to go back to get out of the house for a while and that a newborn has taken a lot out of him."

Jessica rolls her eyes and Samuel says, "That's not how I said it!"

"Heh! It's fine." Jessica smiles softly.

"It is?" Michael asks a little bummed that his older brother was not in trouble.

"Of course! My little Grayson is doing such a good job keeping his big brother's away from sex. He's the best and most cutest birth control there is!" Jessica holds Grayson up and speaks in a cute voice as she looks into his eyes.

"Hah! Bye, mom." Samuel kisses her head and grabs his bag.

When the door shut Jessica sighed and looked down at Grayson in her arms.

"Well kiddo.. It's just us now.

... I've never actually been alone with a baby.. Not a newborn at least. See, when your brothers were born, mommy and daddy lived with grandma and grandpa. Aunt Jane, Ann and uncle George were all there too. Then when little Mikey came, we were still living there. When daddy couldn't be there, which was very very rare, but when he couldn't, there was always someone else there to help.

Grandma's working at the church right now, so we'll be on our own till about one. Then she's gonna come by to see you!" She smiles.

"Grayson, please stop crying, baby!" Jessica says on the verge of tears and she walks around with him.

"You've been crying for two hours straight! I don't know what to do!"

Jessica's phone rings to she picks it up, and says hello in a tearful voice.

"Jessica? Is everything okay?"

"He won't stop crying! I don't know what to do, mom!" Jessica bursts into tears.

"Oh sweetie, I'll be right there."

"No, you're working, don't worry about it."

"It's fine, I can leave a few hours early, I'm on my way."

"Okay, thank you!"

"Grayson look.. Let's watch a video!" Jessica says looking through her albums on her phone.

"Look baby, this is daddy... This was last year at our Halloween party. He's silly isn't he?" Jessica giggles as she watches Sam singing and dancing on her phone.

Grayson is too young to focus on the video, but as he heard Sam's voice, he slowly started to calm down.

"Yeah, you hear that? That's daddy!" Jessica gets a teary smile on her face.

"Jessica! Baby, I love you more than you will ever know. As long as I am on this earth, I will treat you like a queen."

"Sam, you're drunk!" She laughs.

"Heh.. Maybe! But you know I always mean it."

"Yes I do!" Jessica said in a cute way before they share a kiss.

Hearing that made silent tears roll down her cheeks.

By now Grayson is completely calm and looking straight up at the blank ceiling with a happy look on his face.

"Are you trying to smile? Who are you looking at Grayson?" Jessica wipes her eyes and chuckles.

"Huh?  Who are you smiling at, silly boy?"

The doorbell rang so Jessica went to answer it.

"Hey, I thought he was having a fit!" Dorothy points to Grayson.

"He was.. Someone calmed him down." She looks up and smiles softly to where Grayson's eyes were still focused.
