Grayson's seventh Birthday.

"Nova, it's brother's birthday!  Can you say Happy Brother, Brother?" Jessica asks holding Nova on her hip.

Nova eats her hands then takes them out and starts slapping Jessica's chest with excitement.

"Look how happy she is!  Novies, tell brother happy birthday!"

Grayson smiles and reaches over to touch her tiny little foot.

"Say happy birthday, Gray!"

"Grrrr!"

Jessica laughs.
"I think that's her way of saying your name, Gray!"

"Haha!  That's cute!  Novies, come to me!" Grayson holds his arms out.

Jessica hands her over and Grayson gives her a kiss on the cheek.

"Luh yew!" Nova lays her head on him and pats his chest.

"Oh my goodness, she said she loved you!  How sweet is that!" Jessica's voice goes high.

"I love you too, Nova!" Grayson lays his head on hers and lightly pats her bottom.

"Mommy, guess what!"

"What, baby?"

"My daddy is thirty eight today!"

"You remembered!  You're so smart, Grayson!"

"Well YEAH! I'm seven now!"

"Oh right!  Duh, mom!" Jessica giggles.

Danny walks in with donuts and Grayson gasps before quickly handing the baby back to Jessica.

"Daddy!" Grayson runs and jumps on Danny.

"Hey buddy! Happy Birthday!"

"Thank you! Are those donuts?!"

"Yep! With flue frosting just like you like!"

"Yay! Thank you!"

"You're welcome, Gray!" Danny kisses his cheek.

Jessica looks at Nova and says, "He just got rid of my baby, didn't he?"

Nova points her finger and sticks it in Jessica's nose.
"Ew!  Stop that, silly!" Jessica laughs and yanks her hand away.

"Ewwww!" Nova crinkles her nose and mimics her mother's tone.

"Yeah, we don't stick our finger's in other people's orifice's!"

Nova laughs and does it again just to get a reaction.

"Stop it!" She grabs her hand making Nova laugh even harder.

"Uh oh!  Pee pee!" She laughs.

"You made yourself pee pee?  You're a mess, little girl!"

***

Thanksgiving.

"Caro, are the babies almost here?" Grayson asks.

"No, not till April, sweet boy."

"Then why are you so gigantic?"

Caroline laughs.

"That's not a nice thing to say, Gray." James says.

"No, he's just telling it like it is! It's because there are two babies, remember?"

"Oh yeah! I'm gonna have a niece AND a nephew!"

"Yep! That's right, buddy."

"And my mommy's not gonna have anymore babies." He nods.

"She's not?"

"Nope! Sam said she's too old and old lady's don't have babies."

"Samuel!" Jessica shouts.

"What?!"

"I can have another baby!"

"Uh.. Okay?"

"I am not old!"

"Well are you gonna have another one?"

"No! Definitely not!"

"Alright.. So are we done here?"

"Oh just watch your stupid football game and leave me alone!"

Sam turns to Zachary who was sitting beside him.
"What the hell was that about?"

"I don't know." Zachary shrugs.

"Dada! Dada! Dada!" Samuel runs over to his father.

"What, bud?"

"I wet!" Baby Samuel yells.

"Well what do you want me to do about it?"

"DAD!" He shouts and bangs his fist on his leg.

"I'm just playing! Let's go, piggy." Sam grabs him.

"HEY! Dat is WUDE!"

Sam chuckles and kisses the top of his head.

"No kisses!" He kicks his legs and rubs his head.

"He is just a mess!" Ann laughs watching them.

"I know.
He speaks so much more than Nova, it's crazy. Should she be saying more?" Jessica asks.

"I think she's fine! Shes babied though. That plays a part."

"Well she's a miracle, Ann!" Jessica snaps.

"I know! I didn't say it was a bad thing!"

"Oh.. Samuel is babied too, he just.. he's different."

"He's tough." Ann chuckles.

Jessica laughs.
"Yeah!"

**

"Mamaaaa.. Mamaaa.." Nova says in a soft voice.

"What, baby?"

"Yew!" She holds her hands up for Jessica to pick her up.

"Oh you want mommy? Well come here, my little Princess!" Jessica walks over and picks her up.

"Tits?" Nova says in a low voice.

"What?"

"Tits?" She asks again.

Jessica turns to Ann with a confused look.

"Did she just say tits?" Ann asks.

"I think so. Baby, what did you say?" Jessica lanes down to hear her more clearly.

"TITS!" She shouts.

"She did." Jessica looks at Ann with a blank face.

"TITS!" Nova says hitting Jessica's breasts.

"Who taught my baby to say tits?" Jessica shouts.

"I did, mommy!" Grayson says.

"Why did you do that?
.. and who taught you?"

"Sam!" He smiles and turns to his brother.

"SAMUEL!" Jessica shouts.

"I don't remember that, Grayson!"

"Uh yeah you do! When we went to church you pointed to my friend's momma and said, she has some nice tits!" Grayson says grabbing his chest.

"Asshole!" Tiffany hits his arm.

"OW!" Sam shouts grabbing his arm.

"Samuel!" Jessica yells.

"The kid is a lair, mom."

"NO!" Grayson shouts.

"Tits, mama. Tits!" Nova pulls on her mother's blouse.

"You see what you did? What's next? Waving dollar bills in my face as she nurses?"

"Ma, it's not a big deal!"

"I just want you not to speak that way in front of my children. Please!"

"Sorry!" Sam replies in a smart way.

"Don't be a smart ass!"

"AAA-sssss!" Nova says staring up at her mother.

"That's all you, Mamacita." Sam smiles.

"You did say you wanted her to speak more!" Ann laughs as Jessica gives her a look that could kill.
