Show and tell
Throughout the weekend the school was flooded with calls. Most in support of Jessica. Many parents didn't feel this was right. With that and Danny speaking to the principal, Jessica received a phone call on Monday morning in regards to her future at the school.
They asked for her back, and Jessica was thrilled.
She did ask for a couple days off to make sure the baby was okay, and they agreed Wednesday would be the day she returned.
"I'm so excited you're un-fired!" Delilah says.
"Me too, baby!" Jessica chuckles.
"Can I call you mommy at school?"
"Go for it!"
"Do I have to say Ms. Mommy?"
Yes!" Danny says.
"I wasn't asking you!" Delilah giggles.
"Oh yeah?! Oh yeah, you little stink?!" Danny grabs her and lifts her in the air.
"Ahhhh! Daddy!" She laughs hysterically.

Wednesday came and Jessica was excited to get back to work.
"Ms. Jessica, you're back!" The kids ran over and hugged her legs.
"Oh my babies! I'm back!"
"Is the baby okay?" A sweet little girl asks.
"Yes, honey. Baby Nyla is great!" Jessica smiles.
"Oh goodie!"
Jessica takes a seat, and Delilah walks over to her and hugs her belly.
"My baby sister is doing soooo good! And mommy says next week we'll work on her nursery!"
"Your mommy?" A boy asks.
"She's my mommy now." Delilah smiles and lays her head on Jessica.
"Cool!"
"Yeah! I have the coolest mommy ever." Delilah looks up to Jessica and smiles.
"And I have the coolest babies ever!"
"Yes. Yes you do!" Delilah says making her laugh.

One week later.
"Baby, I'm sick of this." Danny says.
"What?"
"No more, are you staying at my place, or am I staying at yours. We're engaged now. Let's find a place of our own and start fresh. It's not forgetting the places we lived with the people we loved. It's about moving forward because they would want us to!"
"I..I.."
"Jessie." Danny smiles.
"Okay, I'll do it! Nolan's spirit lives in me! Not this house. Wherever I go, Nolan will follow! And so will Grace!"
"Yes! Yes they will!"
"Okay, let's start looking for a home! Our own home." Jessica smiles and takes his hands in hers.
"I love you so much, baby."
"I love you more, Danny."
"That's not possible, woman!"
Jessica giggles and kisses his lips.

Two weeks later.
"Okay kids, it's time for show and tell! Go ahead and grab whatever you're going to show the class, and sit in a circle."
"Oh man!" Delilah says to herself.
"What's wrong, Didi?" Jessica asks.
"I forgot what I was going to show everyone! I left it on your couch." She pouts.
"Aw.. Well that's okay. You can still tell them about it."
"Just tell and no show?"
"Yes. It'll be fine!"
"Oh gosh.. well okay!" She sighs. "This is going to be embarrassing!"
Jessica chuckles over Delilah's theatrics.
...
"Awesome, Devin! Now go ahead and take a seat. Delilah?"
"Yes, momma?" Delilah looks up to Jessica.
"You're next, sweetie." Jessica smiles.
"Okay..
So guys, I forgot my toy I was going to bring to show you all, but I have something SO much cooler now!"
"What is it, Didi?" Jessica smiles.
"It's my baby sister!" Delilah grabs her tummy.
"Oh! Okay!" She laughs.
"Lift your shirt so they can see your belly!" She says pulling on her blouse. "It's really big and round, you guys!"
"No Didi, leave my shirt alone, please. They can still see sister, we don't have to lift it."
"But I want them to see her kicking!"
"They can see her kicks through my shirt, baby."
"Okay! Guys, stand up and you can all take turns feeling my baby sister move!"
Jessica laughs and sits back.
"I didn't know I was going to be apart of show and tell today! I'm honored." She giggles.
