Today marks Rosie's 1st birthday.

Jen and Justin had arranged a small gathering with friends and family in their garden.

"Here she is.. here's the special lady" Justin said walking into the bedroom with Rosie.

"Happy birthday baby girl" Jen hugged her tightly, taking her from Justin.

"Mama" Rosie was getting quite good with her speech, often chatting away randomly to herself.

"Oooh.. Mama loves you angel" she kissed and tickled her all over, causing fits of giggles.

Jen and Justin smiled sweetly at each other.

"I think someone's going to be spoilt today" Justin said joining in on the tickles.

"She's allowed.. aren't you baby" Jen giggled, squeezing her tight.

Rosie released herself and moved over, jumping on Justin's lap wanting him to continue tickling her.

"I'll go bring her a few presents to open" Jen got up to leave the room.

Upon her return, she watched from the doorway.

Rosie was stood on Justin's lap putting her hands all over his face and they were putting their tounges out at one another.

The sound of her baby hysterically laughing bought her so much joy and was made even more special by her future husband being the reason for it.

"You guys melt my heart" she said sweetly joining them at the side of the bed.

"Show mommy what you just did" Justin said looking from Rosie to Jen.

After a short pause Rosie started shouting "Da.. Da.. DA..DA" and jumping up and down.

"Oh my god honey.." Jen looked from Rosie to Justin smiling. They'd been waiting a while for her to say it and Jen knew how much it meant to Justin.

"Mama.. da..da"

"Oh darling that's right.. that's daddy" Jen watched Justin pulling her close and kissing her head. His proud face was all she needed to see.

Later in the afternoon, all the kids were playing in the pool and the adults were dotted around the garden and house.

Jen watched from the side of the pool as Justin was bouncing Rosie in and out of the water. Her hair was a little longer now, still very blonde and her bright blue eyes were open wide watching her father. She was Jen's double but a complete daddy's girl and Jen loved to see it.

"She loves the water honey" she shouted over.

"I think she'll love the beach when we go to Cabo" he said.

Jen smiled sweetly, knowing Justin was desperate to take them back to their favourite place.

"Soon" she replied a bit quieter.

"I don't know who's having more fun" Phyllis walked up behind Jen, watching the scene.

"I know.. he's so obsessed with her it kills me" she grinned, still watching them.

"She's the perfect combination of you both" Phyllis said as they turned to sit at a nearby table.

"Yeah, everyone always says that. She definitely loves her daddy. It's so sweet. Did he tell you she said dada this morning?" Jen watched Phyllis' face light up.

"No she didn't?" she questioned in shock.

"She did.. loud and clear" they smiled "he was so happy. I can't get enough of them Phyllis. When they're not near me I find myself searching for them. The bond they have.. he's all I could ever wish for, for the father of my child."
