They started to sang, “In Happy Valley, Oregon, livin’ it wed, bought our first house and started to build our homestead,” Melissa rapped.
“Our family and friends, who were up to no good, started asking questions about my parenthood.”

“Little did they know the plan had begun to start our own family, and man, it was fun,” Jesse sang.
