"My daddy.. oh no.. Danny, what happened?"

"George said he went in his sleep."

"My dad is gone, Danny." Jessica looks at him with tears in her eyes.

"We have to go! We have to get there before they take him.  Will you get the twins ready?"

"Of course. Do you need help?"

"No, I'm fine. Just get them ready, please."

"I will."

Danny then walks around the bed and wraps his arms around her. "I love you, baby. I'm so sorry."

Jessica buries her face in Danny's chest and sobs.
"He was okay at the baby shower, Danny!"

"I know.."

"I feel like I didn't even get to say goodbye to him. I know I said bye but.. I didn't say Goodbye to him."

"Where are you guys off to?" Isaiah asks.

Jessica takes a deep breath and says, "Zaya.. last night grandpa Al passed away."

"What? Oh my gosh, no! What happened?"

"He passed in his sleep, I don't know.. I—" Jessica then breaks down.

Isaiah wraps his arms around his mother and kisses the top of her head.

"Where are you going now?"

"To see him."

"Well let Em and I watch the twins. We'll just meet you there later on."

"Thank you, baby. I need to call Gabby. Aw, and she just had a baby!" Jessica cries.

"Aw mom.."

"He didn't suffer and that brings me comfort.
..My dad hasn't been in his right mind for years.. now he knows. He remembers all the things he forgot.." suddenly Jessica gasps. "Oh my gosh!"

"What?!"

Jessica looks down and cries even more.
"Just last week when I went over.. Well first he asked how the fuck I was pregnant again at my age." Jessica chuckles softly.

"Then when I told him they were your babies and he freaked the hell out.. man, telling him never got old." She cries.

"And then.. then he brought up the past. A time I didn't even think he remembered.. he brought up my childhood.. he apologized for everything. I told him I forgave him a long time ago and not to worry about it.. he said he knew but that he wanted to tell me anyway.. and that he loves me.." Jessica's voice became even more shaky. "It's like he knew.."

When arriving at her parents house, Jessica was glad to find out they had yet to come for her father.

She immediately went to his room and sat in front of his bed, holding his hand.

"Daddy.. oh daddy, I love you so much. I know you're happy and finally at peace.. so that makes me happy." She smiles softly.

"But I'm gonna miss you so much..
I'm sad you didn't get to meet your four new great grandchildren. Lucy and.. well Isaiah and Emily haven't told me what the triplets names are yet." She chuckles.

Jessica then places her father's hand on her belly and in a tearful whisper she says, "Watch over them, daddy.. and help me through this birth. I'm terrified." She then kisses his cheek and softly caressed his skin.

**

Jessica and Danny have now been at her parents' house for a few hours. They have decided to have the funeral as soon as possible since a bad storm is coming this weekend.

"I doubt it'll be that bad, you guys." Jessica said leaning back with her hand over her belly.

"Oh Jessie, you sound just like your daddy!" Dorothy chuckles. "Never believing the weather man!"

"We're always right, though! But I won't fight it. I want to be there so the sooner the better. I don't know when these babies are gonna decide to join us." She looks down and rubs her hand over her ginormous tummy.

Dorothy smiles softly and touches Jessica's stomach.
"This belly. Man! I didn't know this much stretch was humanly possible."

**

Later on Isaiah brought the twins over to visit Dorothy.

"Mommy! Daddy!" They ran to them.

"Hey guys!" Danny smiles.

"Hey Chubsters.."

The twins then both jump on the couch and push into Jessica's stomach.

"Let's play!  Let's play!"

"Ow!  No, don't do that.  You have to be gentle with the babies, guys."

Willow purses her lips and crosses her arms.
"I want gwampa!"

"Yeah!  We wanna see gwampa!" Emerson smiles.

Jessica pouts. "Come here, loves.  Danny, help please." Jessica lifts her hand.  Her eyes already filling with tears.

"Sure."

"What's wrong, mommy?"

"Let's go in here and talk."

The twins followed Jessica with Danny to the next room.

"Uhm.." Jessica sighs as she sits down in front of them.

"So, you know how on Coco when their relatives passed away, they went to that beautiful and magical place?"

"Yeah, like Mama Coco! That's when you cried!" Emerson says.

"Yeah.. well honey, that happens in real life. Daddy's mommy passed away and went to a magical place when your brothers and sisters were little.."

"Daddy has a mommy?!" Willow widens her eyes.  She was shocked.

"He does." Jessica chuckles.

"No way!"

"It's true." Danny smiles.

"Well anyway.. last night.. Grandpa Al went to that magical place."

"He went to Heaven, mommy?"

"He did, Princess."

"Oh.."

"But he's no longer in pain, and his memory is back!" Jessica says with tears slowly rolling down her cheeks.

"It's okay, mommy. Don't cry." Emerson wipes her cheeks. He then holds her face in his tiny hands.
"It's a happy time. Gwampa is happy now. He can walk and he can run now, mommy!"

Jessica smiles as more tears fall.
"That's so true. I'm so happy I have you two. You guys were a surprise.. but wonderful surprises I never knew I needed."

"We're special, mommy?" Willow lifts her hands.

"Yes you are!" Jessica smiles and hugs her babies.

***

Two days later.

"Well.. I guess this is the only black dress that fits. You guys are huge!" Jessica holds her belly and laughs.

Jessica then walks to the mirror and laughs even more.
"Holy shit! I don't even look human! Heh! Well thanks for making grandma laugh on a sad day, babies."

**

"Mommy, me and Emewson drawed some pictuwes for gwampa!"

"Oh they're beautiful! Daddy, you want to help us give them to grandpa?" Jessica asks.

"Of course!" Danny walked over and helped them put their pictures in the casket.

Once they were down, Emerson held his mothers hand and looked up to the casket. He rubbed his nose and turned to Jessica.

"Mommy, I'm gonna miss my gwampa."

"Me too, honey." Jessica pouted.

She then went back to sit. The twins sat beside her and cuddled onto her belly.  Jessica placed her hands on their backs as she watched a slideshow of her father's life.

***

Friday.

"Look at my beautiful mommy!"

"Aw Zaya!  I look like a tent in this dress, but thank you, honey." Jessica laughs.

"No, you look gorgeous, Jessie." Emily smiles.

"Well thank you you guys."

"Smile!" Emily gets her phone out.

"Oh no!" Jessica covers her face.

"Pleeeease!"

"Ohhh!  Fine!"

Emily giggles and snaps the picture.
"Beautiful!" She smiles.

Jessica laughs and nods her head.
"Don't post that!"

"I promise!"

"Heh!  Alright.. Ready for dance class guys? Or is it soccer today?  I have pregnancy brain baaaad!"

"Dance class, mommy!" Willow says running towards her.

"Yeah!  We haven't even started soccer, silly mommy!" Emerson says.

"Silly mommy!  Alright, well let's go!  Get your boogity boogity shoes on!"

"Ahh!  That's funny, mommy!" Willow laughs.

"I'm SO funny!  Daddy, come on, let's go!"

"Let me just put pants on, babe!"

"Daniel, come onnn!"

"I'm coming!"

Jessica sighs.
"Ooh!" She grabs her side.

"You okay, Mommy?" Emerson asks.

"Yeah, just a little pain, that's all. DANIEL! LET'S GO!"

"I'm ready!" He walks towards her with a smile.

**

Jessica sat in the lobby watching the twins in class. Emerson was great, Willow gave the teacher hell as usual.

"Ow!" Jessica grabs Danny's arm.

"You okay?"

"I keep getting kicked in the vag!"

"Ouch!"

"This little guy is so low!" Jessica breathes in and rubs the bottom of her stomach.

"They're almost here! Are you ready?"

"Heh! Ready to deliver three babies? I don't know if one is every truly ready for that, Daniel."

"You'll do great, champ!" Danny pats her bump.

"Thanks for the support, honey." Jessica chuckles.

"Oh Jessica, hello!" One of the office lady's came over.

"Hi!"

"Oh sweetie, don't get up!  I just wanted to come over to see how you were doing.. wondering if you're still pregnant, and you are!" She laughs.

"I am!" Jessica smiles.

"When are you due?"

"Well my due date isn't for a while." Jessica chuckles.
"But if I go through the weekend without anything happening, they're gonna break my water on Monday."

"Oh wow!  So they're coming!  Soon!" The woman giggled.

"Yep!  Next time you see us, we'll have three more grandchildren!" Jessica looks at Danny and giggles as she grabs his hand.

"Wow!  Three babies!  I'm praying for you, honey."

"Haha, thank you!"

**

The drive home.

"It's raining so hard! I'm scared!" Willow says in a high pitched voice.

"I know, baby. We're almost home." Danny says.

"How are we gonna get in the house?! My little feet and my tutu will get all weeeet!"

"Daddy's gonna take you guys in first, then—"

"What about Mommy?!" Emerson asks.

"My baby." Jessica smiles.

"That's what I was sayingggg! Then I'll come back and help mommy." He smiles.

When they got home Danny kept his promise.
He took both twins out of their car seats and walked them into the house.

Jessica smiled as she watched him.
"He's such a good daddy." She says to herself.

Jessica then gets a strong contraction that came from her lower back and traveled to her stomach.

"Oh!  Ow!" She breathes in and out.

"Oh man, this ones strong.  Ohhhh.." Jessica moaned softly.

Just then lightening struck and thunder rumbled loudly.

"Oh wow!  I guess I was wrong about the weather this time, wasn't I, daddy?" Jessica says looking out the window, softly rubbing her bump in a soothing way.

"Oh Jesus, please just let us make it to Monday."
