December.

The kids are all out of school, Danny is picking Gabriella up from the airport and Jessica is cooking her favorite. Everyone is so happy to have her home for Christmas.

"Gabriella Danielle Huston is home!" She says dropping her bags and lifting her arms in the air.

"My baby!" Jessica runs to her.

"Hi momma!"

"Oh Gabby, you're too thin! Come in and eat!"

Gabriella laughs.
"Well I won't pass up home cookin!"

"Gabby!" Anastasia runs to her sister.

"Hi beautiful!"

"Hey jail bird!"

"When are you going to let that go?"

"I never will, little sis!" Gabriella chuckles and taps her nose.

"Are you finished with your service hours?"

"Yes!" Anastasia groans.

Gabriella chuckles and rubs her head.

"Hey Gabs!" Isaiah walks in.

"Zaya!" Gabriella hugs him.

"Where's Nugget?"

"He's upstairs. Kenley is getting dropped off a little later.. she's not walking much these days." Jessica chuckles.

"Heh! How far along is she now?"

"Thirty three weeks."

"Wow! Getting close!"

"I know! I'm so nervous for her."

"She's so young.. I mean I'd be terrified if I was going through that now!"

"Yeah.." Jessica sighs.

"She'll be okay, though. Her doctor is great! She'll get an epidural and won't feel a thing!"

"Well that's good!"

Just then Noah comes downstairs.

"Nuggy! How are you?!"

"Hey Gabby! I'm good, you?"

"Great! Now that you all are here, I have some news!" She smiles.

"Oh you do? What is it?" Jessica puts a smile on her face but is actually terrified to hear what Gabriella has to say.

"I met someone!"

"Ooh! What's his name?"

"His name is Julio and he's really really sweet! He's in the company with me!"

"Aw Gabby! We'd like to meet this nice young man!"

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Great! He's coming for Christmas!"

"Oh! Well okay!" Jessica chuckles.

"You all will love him! He was my pas de duex partner in Don Quixote!"

"Oh! The one with the nice butt?" Jessica smirks.

"That's him!" Gabriella laughs.

"Oh lord!" Danny huffs.

Jessica laughs and taps his side.
"Are you jealous, baby?"

"I have a nice butt too!" He pouts.

"Ew!  Dad, gross!"

"Heh!  Yes you do, baby.  You have the cutest butt!"

"That's it I'm gonna puke." Anastasia lifts her hands.

Just then the doorbell rings.

"Oh that's Ken!" Noah says.

"My niece is here!" Gabriella runs and opens the door.

"Hi my beautiful little baby! Aunt Gabby is home, Princess!"

"Hello to you too, Gabby." Kenley says as Gabriella holds and kisses her belly.

"I'm sorry! How are you, sweetie?"

"I'm doing well." She smiles softly.

"Well come sit and eat! You need to relax and make that baby chubby!"

"Heh, thanks, Gabby."

"Is she moving? I want to feel her!"

"She's always moving!"

"Awe! She's gonna be a dancer like me!"

Kenley sits back and smiles.

"How are you feeling, honey?" Jessica walks over to her.

"So uncomfortable! I can't breathe, she's getting too big!"

"Oh baby, I know how that feels! Have you gotten any Braxton Hicks?"

"Well the bottom of my belly tightens up every once in a while and my mom said that's what those are, but I've never had any painful ones.

"Well that's good! Are you and Noah ready for birthing class tomorrow?"

"No!" Noah answers.

"I'm a little nervous. Everyone is going to look at us weird!" Kenley says.

"Aw my babies! I'll go with you!"

"And me too!" Gabriella smiles.

"You're gonna go, Gabby?" Noah laughs.

"Yes!"

"Well this should be fun." Jessica chuckles.

***

The next day.

Kenley was happy Jessica would be there for their first birthing class since her mother wasn't in town.

"Am I dressed okay?  I've never been to birthing class before."

Jessica just looks at Gabby.
"You look fine."

"What exactly am I doing?  Am I being your coach?"

"I'm not pregnant!"

"Yeah but we have to pretend!"

"We're going to observe."

"We'll see about that, Mamacita!" Gabriella smirks and pats her stomach.

Noah and Kenley get situated and Jessica takes a seat in the back.

"Mom, let's go sit in the circle!"

"Gabriella Danielle, I'm not doing that!"

"Come on!  I need to learn!  I plan on being there when the baby's born."

"Why?  You have no business in there!"

"Well that's not nice!  I'm the baby's aunt!"

"Gabby, would you sit down?" Noah asks.

"Yes!  Come on, mommy." Gabriella smiles and holds her hand out for Jessica.

"Gabriella stop it, you're embarrassing me!"

"Is everything alright?" The Lamaze instructor comes over to see what's going on.

"Yes, everything's fine.  Gabriella sit down!" Jessica grinds her teeth.

"Ms. Lamaze lady, my mother and I brought my little brother and his girlfriend, but I would like to participate in class by coaching my mother; to practice for my sweet little nieces' birth, of course!  But she's not sitting down!" Gabriella whines.

Jesica gives Gabriella a look that could kill.

"You're welcomed to sit and participate if you'd like." The woman smiles at Jessica.

"Come on, momma..
If not I'll keep embarrassing you!"

"Just get in the damn circle, Gabriella!"

"Yay!
Okay you're the mommy, so sit in front of me!"

Jessica sits down and Gabriella sits behind her.
She reaches around and places her hands on Jessica's stomach before Jessica smacks her hand.

"Let go of my stomach!  There's nothing in there!"

"I wouldn't say nothing.  Mom, maybe it's time you go on a diet."

"You know what, you little bitch-"

"Alright!  Everyone, welcome!" The woman starts the class with a smile.

**

"Does that feel good, mom?"

"Yeah, it feels really nice actually." Jessica says on all fours as Gabriella rubs her back.

"I'm a good coach!  I think I'm better at it than Noah is." Gabriella laughs.

Jessica looks up and sees Kenley cringing.
"Noah, that's too hard!" She says.

"Poor baby!" Jessica chuckles.

"I can't believe my baby boy is gonna have a baby.  Seems like just yesterday I had him!"

"I know.  Mom, keep doing your breathing!"

"No, I almost passed out!"

***

Christmas Eve.

Everyone was over at the house.
Danny's side, Jessica's side and Evan, Sarah and the kids were all there as well.

"He's here!" Gabriella runs to the door.

"Hi baby!"

"Hola, mi amor."

Gabriella smiles and kisses his lips.

"Everyone!  This is Julio!  Julio, this is my freak show of a family!"

"Hello!  Nice meet you all." He smiles.

"Oh he's dreamy!" Jessica giggles.

"Heh!  Babe, this is my mom, Jessica and my father!"

"Hi.  Daniel Huston." Danny shakes his hand.

"Hello!  Thank you for having me."

"Well Gabby didn't really give us a choi-"

"Daniel!" Jessica elbows him in the stomach.

"OW!  No problem, Julio!"

"Come meet my siblings!" Gabriella steers him away from her parents.

**

"Noah!" Paisley said sitting beside him.

"What's up?"

"You know you're too young to have a baby?"

"I do know that, Pais."

"Well what's gonna happen?  Will aunt Jessie take care of it?"

"Well she'll help but Kenny and I will do most of the baby stuff."

"You know it's not a doll?"

"I do know that." He chuckles.

"It'll but tough, but it's okay."

"Okay!" She sighs and walks away.

Noah chuckles and Kenley comes over to sit beside him.
"What's up?"

"Nothing.  Looks like Wyatt and Brayson are getting along."

"Yeah, they're cute." Kenley smiles.

"All of Wyatt's friends think it's so cool he's gonna be an uncle at nine years old!" She laughs.

"Heh!  That's funny.  He's a good kid."

"He is." Kenley nods.

"Ken, how are we going to raise a baby to grow up and be a good person?"

Kenley takes a deep breath.
"Well our parents raised us right and taught us right from wrong.. Yeah we may not have listened all of the time but.. we've learned from our mistakes and we'll teach our girl how to grow up and be the best woman she can be!
.. that and no dating till she's thirty!"

Noah laughs then places his hand on her belly.
"This time next year she'll be here.. isn't that crazy?"

"It is!  I can't wait to dress her up like a beautiful little doll!"

Noah chuckles and kisses her stomach.

Christmas morning came and they enjoyed their time as a family.  They stayed in pajamas all day and watched Christmas movies like they did when they were younger.
It was weird knowing how different their Christmas was going to be next year with the baby.

A few days later.

"Mom, I'm taking Anastasia shopping. We'll be back, okay?"

"Alright, have fun and be safe!"

"We will!"

While shopping Anastasia started not feeling very well.

"Ana, are you okay?"

"My stomach hurts." She says hunching over.

"You wanna head home?"

"I'm okay. I'll be right back, I'm gonna go to the restroom really quick."

"Alright, honey."

When Anastasia cane out she was in tears.

"Ana, what's the matter?!"

"I want mommy!"

"What happened, baby?"

"Please! I want mommy!"

"Okay.. I'll take you home, but sweetie, you have to tell me what's wrong."

"I started my period!"

"Your first one?" Gabriella slightly raises her brows.

"Yes! Gabby, please take me home!"

"I will. Here, go put this on, okay?"

"Okay."

"Ana, there's no need to cry, baby. This is apart of life. It's completely natural. Don't be scared."

Anastasia softly nods and Gabriella wipes her tears.
"I love you." She kisses her forehead.

"I love you too, Princess."

**

When they got home Anastasia ran over and hugged her mother.

"Well hello!" Jessica chuckled.

"Hi.." Anastasia says in a low voice.

"Did Gabby's driving scare you? She lives in New York, baby, she doesn't know any better."

"I just missed you."

"Aw, baby." Jessica rubs her back and kisses the top of her head.

Anastasia goes upstairs to freshen up and Gabriella stays with her mother.

"Is she okay? What happened?"

"She started her period."

"What?! Oh my baby!"

"I gave her something to put on. She was so upset and just wanted you. I felt bad."

"Oh my heart!" Jessica places her hand on her chest.

"I'm gonna go talk to her."

**

"Ana? Sweetie pie, can I come in?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Hi baby girl." Jessica stands at the doorway smiling.

"Stop with the creepy smile, mom. Gabby told you?"

"She did. Congratulations, you're a woman now!" Jessica smiles.

"I feel disgusting!"

"Well yeah.. Welcome to womanhood!"

"I don't like it, momma."

"Oh honey, no one likes it! It's just apart of life, sweet girl. I knew it was coming."

"Why didn't you warn me?!"

Jessica laughs.
"I didn't know it was coming Today! But your body is changing.. your hips are filling out.. Your boobs are almost bigger than mine! You're looking very womanly."

Anastasia smiles softly.
"I was worried I'd have no tits at all."

"Well you don't have to worry about that, baby!" Jessica laughs.

"I love you, momma."

"I love you so much more, baby girl."

***

January 8th.

Danny had woken up and turned to see Jessica who was sleeping peacefully beside him.
He decided to pull the covers off of her and slap her in the butt to wake her.

"Hey!  What was that for?!"

"Happy Anniversary, babe!" He smiles.

"Happy Anniversary, Daniel."

Danny climbs on top of her and Jessica squirms.
"Daniel, go take a shower!"

"Take one with me?"

"No, let me sleep."

"Baby."

"What?"

"We've been married twenty years today!  How insane is that?"

"That's crazy!  Twenty years.. damn we're getting so old!"

"Never!" Danny chuckles before burying his face in her neck.

"Daniel, can't we have breakfast first?" Jessica laughs.

"That's what I'm doing!" He says going down her body.

"DANNY!" She giggles as he reaches her center.

**

Danny and Jessica come downstairs in their robes.
They walk into the kitchen and the kids shout, "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!"

"Oh my babies! Danny look! They made us breakfast!"

"Yes and don't worry, we didn't let Gabby do the cooking." Isaiah says.

"Hey!" Gabriella playfully hits him.

"Kids, this is so sweet! Thank you!" Danny says.

"You're welcome! Come and sit! We have presents!" Anastasia says.

"Aw my babies!" Jessica's voice goes high.

**

"Thank for the gifts, kids." Danny smiles.

"You're welcome! So what do you two have planned?" Isaiah asks.

"Nothing really."

"Nuh uh! We have plans, my dear." Danny smiles.

"Oh we do?"

"Yes! You, the kids and I are going to have lunch in the quarter, then it's just you and for dinner, THEN Dancing!"

"Dancing? Ooh!"

"Yep! Get your boogity boogity shoes on!"

**

They had a very nice lunch with the kids before walking around and visiting the little shops.

"This is what I miss most about home!" Gabriella says.

"Well quit the company and move back!" Anastasia smiles.

Gabriella chuckles and hugs her little sister.

After a while they head back home and Jessica and Danny get ready for their date.

They went to one of their favorite restaurants and ordered some wine.

"You are the most beautiful woman on this earth, Jessica Lange.  I still can't believe you're mine."

"Aw!  Danny!  You know, after all these years.. it's still kinda hard for me to believe too.. you're perfect, honey."

Danny smirks.
"You think I'm perfect?"

"I do!"

"Aw shucks!" He says in a goofy way.

"Don't do that, you look crazy!" Jessica laughs.

After dinner he took her dancing as he promised.

"Still light on your feet.. Pretty good for an old man!"Jessica giggles.

"So are you.. Old hag."

Jessica laughs and Danny dips her.

"Twenty years, Lange."

"Twenty amazing-"

"Beautiful-"

"Hectic-"

"Insane!"

"Wonder years, Huston." Jessica smiles.

"I still love you more than jazz." Danny taps her nose with his finger.

"And I still love you more than food.. Most of the time." Jessica makes a cute face.

"Youuuu!"

Jessica giggles and he kisses her lips.
Danny wraps his arms around her as the continue slow dancing.

"My beautiful little Babydoll." Danny mumbles holding her body against his.
