Eight
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.
Jessica chuckles and kisses her cheek.
"Sweep in my dipey."
"You can sleep in just your dipey, that's fine."
"Night night." She says slowly closing her eyes.
"Goodnight, pretty girl."
Jessica finishes changing her diaper, then kisses her cheek and tucks her in.

"Grayson's out." Danny says to Jessica as she walks into their bedroom.
"So is Nova." Jessica sighs with exhaustion.
".. I can't believe everyone knows we had sex in the barn."
Danny chuckles and wraps his arms around her.
"I'm so sleepy.." Jessica says in a low voice.
"You smell like a horse."
"Thanks, babe." Jessica pats his arm and pulls away before walking into the bathroom.
"You're still beautiful!" He shouts as she shuts the door.

September 16th.
Today would have been Sam and Jessica's 20th wedding anniversary.
Jessica woke up and took a hot shower.
She then came out in her robe.
"Good morning, baby." Danny walks over and gives her a hug.
"Morning."
"You okay?"
Jessica smiles softly and nods.
Danny kisses the top of her head and hugs her once again.
"I know what today is and it's okay.. it's okay to feel sad."
"It just hurts so much more on days like this.
Twenty years! That's so crazy.. we were so young..
But we were so in love.. I miss him so much. And I don't mean for that to sound bad towards you, you know that but-"
"No honey, I understand. It's still hard. No matter what it's gonna be difficult."
Jessica sniffles then closes her eyes and just enjoys the feeling of being in Danny's arms.

October.
Zachary and Alyssa's POV.
After coming home from their honeymoon in Aruba, the two have been seeing a fertility specialists to see what the best options are for them.
This doctor that they were seeing had a great attitude and was very positive whenever she met with them. She was sure the two would one day have a child.
Alyssa was prescribed a medication called Clomid.
Jessica was also prescribed that same medication when she was having fertility issues just a few years back.
Zachary and Alyssa prayed so hard that this would result in a happy and healthy baby.
On October 29th Alyssa took a pregnancy test.
The test was positive and she and Zachary couldn't be happier.
"We're gonna have a baby!" Alyssa smiles.
"A little baby that's a little part of both of us!.. I'm so happy!" Zachary smiles.
"Me too." Alyssa says with tears falling down her cheeks.
"When do you think we can tell our family?"
"I'd like to wait a while just because of what happened before.."
"That's fine!
It's gonna be okay, baby. I know it will." Zachary smiles before kissing her lips.
**
November 12th.
Today they are going to their very first ultrasound to see little baby Garcia-Huston.
Today also marks her sixth week of pregnancy.
Alyssa's Doctor asked her to lay back so she could check the baby's heartbeat.
Alyssa held Zachary's hand as her heart felt as if it were going to pound straight out of her chest.
When her doctor moved the monitor away without them hearing the heartbeat, both Zachary and Alyssa panicked.
"What's wrong? Is the baby okay?" Alyssa asks.
"I'm going to go ahead and perform the ultrasound now. You're still very early on in your pregnancy so this is totally normal."
"Oh.. okay.."
Zachary looks at Alyssa and smiles softly before he kisses her forehead.
Zachary looked calm but inside he was falling apart.
The doctor started the ultrasound and Alyssa turned to face towards Zachary.
"I can't look at it." She nods softly with tears in her eyes.
"Everything's okay, baby." Zachary kisses her hand and forces a smile.
Alyssa took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
Deep down she knew that everything was Not okay.
"Mr. and Mrs. Huston.. I'm so sorry."
Of course this news was very upsetting for the two.
Alyssa broke down in tears and as strong as Zachary wanted to be for his wife, he couldn't help but cry along with her.
Zachary drove Alyssa home and they spent the rest of the day together.
Alyssa sobbed constantly. She really had a good feeling about this pregnancy, but now it's gone.

November 18th.
Today is Grayson's 8th Birthday, and his party is going to be at Incredible Pizza a little later today.
Jessica was going through baby pictures of Grayson and becoming very emotional.
"Aw look at this! You were so upset! You were getting your first shots.. My poor baby.."
"No wonder I'm crying!"
"I know! Poor thing!" Jessica chuckles then just stares at him.
"What?" He smiles.
"My baby boy is eight years old!" Jessica pouts.
"Mom, in two years I'll be ten!"
"Grayson Stop!" Jessica says hugging him as tightly as possible.
Grayson laughs.
"Can I have a girlfriend?"
"What! No!"
"But Sam said-"
"Stop right there! Sam said stories do not end well."
Grayson laughs.
Just then Nova walks over to Grayson and hugs his legs.
"Happy Grayson!" She pats her hand on him.
Danny laughs and says, "I told her to come say Happy Birthday. She's got the Happy part down!"
Jessica laughs.
"What a cutie!"
Grayson picks her up and kisses her cheek.
"Nova, it's my dad's birthday too!" Grayson says with a smile.
"Daddy?" Nova points to Danny.
"I have two daddy's, remember? It's my daddy's birthday in Heaven."
"Ohhhh.." Nova says with a cute soft expression.
"Happy Gway daddy!"
"Haha! Thank you, pretty girl!" He smiles.
"You my fwiend. Mama, Gway my fwiend!" Nova says playfully hitting him on his arm then hugging him tightly.
"Aw, that makes me so happy to hear, Novies!"
"Lub you! I lub you!" Nova kisses his cheek.
"I love you too, Nova Bella!"
"Noah Belly?"
"Sure." Grayson laughs.
"Dat my name!"
"It is! You're SO smart!"
"YAAAAY!" Nova clasps her tiny hands.
**
It soon came time for Grayson's birthday party.
The whole family headed over as well as Grayson's friends.
Zachary wasn't sure if being around all of the babies in the family would be a good idea, but Alyssa didn't want to stay home and be upset, she wanted to get out and try her best to be happy.
"Oh my little babies are here!" Jessica runs over to greet the twins.
"Oh my gosh you're so cute!"
Liam giggles, kicks his little legs and waves his hands.
"Hi handsome!"
Liam suddenly gets even more excited.
"He clearly wants his Gigi!" Jessica says taking him out of the stroller.
She kisses his cheeks and bounces him up and down.
"How's my little man and little lady?"
"Say, We're good, Gigi!" James says in a cute voice.
Jessica giggles and kneels down beside the stroller. "Lyla, my pretty baby!"
Lyla gives her grandmother a cheesy smile.
"Look at those little teefies!" She says as Lyla grabs Jessica's face.
"Aw you love your Gigi, don't you!" Jessica kisses little nose.
Alyssa watched them and tried so hard not to just burst into tears.
She watched as Caroline unbuckled Lyla and held her arms.
She thought about the horrible thing they went through and saw the happiness they now have. It gave her hope that one day she would be able to carry a baby for nine long months. She knew it would happen for her and Zachary. She wasn't ready to give up just yet.
