"Jessica Lange, put your seatbelt on!"

"The boys don't like the seatbelt!" She looks at Danny with a pout.

"Well I don't care what they like!  Remember what happened when I didn't wear one?"

Jessica looks at him and twists her lips in a knot.

"Just put the damn thing on."

"Fine!"

***

The first place they took him to was to Main Event to eat some pizza and play games.

"Mommy, can we bowl?"

"Sure baby!"

"Yay!"

"You're the birthday boy, so you get whatever you want today!"

"Thank you, momma!"

"You're welcome, my sweet boy!" Jessica smiles and messes with his hair.

***

Jessica sat with Arabella on her lap, laying on her belly.

"She just loves it there, doesn't she?" Danny smiles.

"Mhm." Jessica smiles and nods her head.

Suddenly Jessica gets a strong contraction.

She closes her eyes and stays quiet, but Arabella feels her stomach tighten up, and she sits up and looks at her belly.

Jessica can't help but chuckle.

Arabella frowns and takes her hands, then presses hard on Jessica's stomach, like she's trying to fix it.

"Ahh Ow! Bella, let's not do that!" She grabs her hands.

Danny chuckles and says, "Why is she mad?"

"I don't know!" Jessica smiles and tries to hide her pain.

Danny rubs the top of Jessica's stomach, then looks at her and asks, "Are you having a contraction?"

"Just a tiny one!" She says in a painful voice.

"You've been getting a lot, maybe we should go home."

"No! No, I haven't gotten that many!"

"Jessica please don't lie to me."

"I'm not! I promise I'll tell you if I think this is it."

".. I don't believe you."

"Danny! I promise!" She smiles.

"Now hold her because I have to pee." She hands Arabella to Danny.

"Again?"

"Well, let me sit on your bladder and see if you don't pee fifty times in an hour!" Jessica gets irritated.

"Sorry." He shuts up.

Arabella looks at her and quivers her bottom lip.

"It's okay, baby. Mommy will be right back." Jessica tells her in a cute voice.

"WAAAAHH!"

"Bella mommy's gotta pee pee!" Danny stands up and bounces her.

"Thanks for announcing it to the whole room, Daniel."

"Just go before you tinkle on yourself!"

Jessica laughs and walks away.

When she comes back Jackson asks her to play one of his turns.

"Mommy can't do that, Jax!" Sofia tells him.

"Yes I can!" She smiles and takes the ball.

"Hey! I got a strike!" She lifts her arms up and hops.

"Good job, baby!" Danny smiles.

"Thank you you!" She smirks.

"It's daddy's turn!" Sofia smiles.

"No sweetie, daddy can't do anything like that yet. The only thing he's able to hold right now is Bella Boo!" She smiles and makes a silly face at Arabella, making her laugh.

"I can try."

"No you can not! You're just gonna make yourself start hurting, and we don't need a big cranky baby with us."

"Yeah, we already have enough with you."

"Oh you're sassy!" Jessica smiles.

Danny laughs continues bouncing Arabella.

Jessica sits down and Arabella leans towards her.

"What are you doing?! You wanna come back to the big comfy couch, don't you?" She laughs.

"Get over here you silly girl!" Jessica reaches for her.

Arabella goes back to the same position, and Jessica gently rubs her back.

"I worry about how I'll be able to give all of them attention. Especially the three babies. She's so little and still so dependent on me.. I know the boys will need me, but I don't want her to feel abandoned." Jessica tears up.

"Baby, she won't! It's gonna be hard, but.. It'll be okay!"

"She's just so little. The other two understand why I can't be there for every single thing they have.. It kills me that I can't, but they understand! Arabella.. She's just a baby.. She doesn't know... What if she thinks I don't want her!" Jessica cries.

"Jessie don't cry. She's not gonna think that!" Danny pulls his chair closer to hers, and wraps his arm around her.

"It's all gonna be okay, sweetheart!" He kisses her cheek as she looks down at Arabella peacefully drifting to sleep on her belly."

***

In the car on the way to the zoo, Jessica's contractions started to get more and more intense.

Danny looked over at her sitting in this awkward position and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine!"

"Are you having a contraction?"

"... Yeah..."

"That's it, we're not going!"

"Danny! It's braxton hicks, calm down! We're here, now park the damn car!"

Okay.. I'm starting to think this might be the beginning of labor.

Lord.. Just let me get through this damn zoo.. That's all I ask.

Once they get in the zoo Danny asks, "Jess, do you want me to rent you a wheelchair?"

"I can walk just fine, Daniel! Now come on, Jackson." She grabs his hand, then mumbles under his breath, "Let's go see these damn animals."

"Mommy look! That monkey's having a baby!" Sofia grabs her hand and points towards the crowd.

"Oh yeah!"

I'd give anything to be in that situation right now.

"That poor monkey.. Being stared at while giving birth..."

That's gonna happen to you too if we don't hurry this trip up!

"Jessie You have to take a picture by this gorilla statue! Sit in his hand!" Danny grabs his camera.

Jessica laughs and holds onto the statues neck, while sitting on his hand.

"Got it! You're so cute!" He smiles.

"Heh! Thanks!" Jessica says before getting a sharp pain.

"What are you doing?" Danny asks.

"Just.. Just hangin onto my friend.. My buddy.. Brings back old memories! He was such a sweet, sweet monkey.." Jessica says in a cute voice as she brushes her hand on him.

"You are too much!" Danny snaps another picture.

"Yes I am." She smiles and hugs the statue just to hide the pain in her face.

Jessica moans and Sofia asks, "Did you say something, mommy?"

"Hm? No, I just said Duck!"

"Why?"

"There's a duck!" She lies.

"Where?"

"It's gone now..."

"Can we go, mommy?" Jackson asks.

"Yeah, let me just.. say goodbye.." She says not wanting to move from that position, because the pain is too strong.

"Alright.. Alright, let's go.." She stands up and breathes heavy.

"Here let my push her."

"I got it, baby."

"Let me do it!" She snaps and yanks the stroller from Danny.

"Alright."

Jessica slowly waddles through the zoo.

"Jess are you sure you want to go all the way to the back?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Could you go get me some water, please?"

"Sure."

Jessica sits on a bench and the kids go to the play area.

Jessica grabs her stomach and throws her head back, before she let's out a loud moan.

She looks down at Arabella and smiles, "Mommy's okay! I just had to let that out!" She chuckles.

Danny sits beside her and hands her the water.

"Oh thanks, baby!"

"No problem. The kids on the playground?"

"Yeah.. I had to take a break."

"That's fine! Here, let me wipe your forehead. You're so sweaty!"

"Yeah.. it's hot!"

"Yeah a little bit.." Danny wipes her head, then kisses it.

She gives him a small smile and the kids run back.

"Daddy, can we have some ice cream?!"

"Sure! Mommy, do you want some?"

"No, I'm okay, thank you though." She smiles.

Jessica's alone with the baby again, so she moans, "Son of a mother fucking bitch!!"

Arabella laughs and Jessica chuckles.

"I'm sorry mommy's saying naughty words! Bad mommy!" She taps her hand.

"Oh my gosh, you're Jessica Lange!" A girl walks up to her.

"That's what they tell me." She chuckles.

"Heh! You look so beautiful!"

"Awe, thank you, sweetie!"

"I know this isn't your thing and you actually hate it, but.. Could I please just have one picture?"

"Uh.. Sure." Jessica smiles.

"Thank you so so much!"

The girl takes the picture and starts to feel another contraction coming on.

She touches her stomach and breathes in and out.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah.. I'm just in labor."

"Oh my gosh!"

"It's my son's birthday, and I'm trying to hide it!"

"Well I won't say anything, but you really should get to the hospital."

"Yeah, probably.." She sighs.

***

"Are we ready? Jesus Christ, I didn't know there was indoor stuff! It's seven thirty already!"

"I didn't realize it was so late! Time flies when you're having fun!" Danny says.

"Kids, we've gotta get mommy home!"

"Mommy! Look! Look at the tigers! Can I go see them?" Jackson looks into her eyes and with a smile, Jessica just couldn't say no to.

"Uh.. Sure!"

"Yay!!! Thank you!"

"Anytime.." She breathes heavy.

They walk over and Jessica realizes that she just can't take the pain anymore.

She holds her back and moans with pain in her face.

"Listen mommy! ROAAAAAAR!" Jackson says as the tiger let's out a big loud and long roar back to him.

Jessica grabs the bar in front on the window and lets out a loud and deep scream.

"AHHHHHHH!!!"

"Good job, mommy! That was louder than the tiger!" Jackson smiles.

"I'm not playing, baby.. I'm in labor!" She whines.

"The babies are coming!!" Jessica says with wide eyes.
