"Red roses with a meaning of love, From the one you lost" I read aloud "What does that mean?" Liz asked, "Maybe it was from Alex, since she loves to send me roses," I said and Liz smiled. "Yeah maybe" She said as Makenna and Ray ran out of their room. "Mommy daddy!" They screamed with excitement. "Liz turned to them as they hugged her. "Good morning my sweet apples" I said as they hugged me. I smiled as they giggled. "And happy birthday," I said. Then me and Liz picked one of them up and spun them around all of us laughing.

Later on in the day mom stopped by to say happy birthday and give them presents. "Mom you didnt" I said as Ray ripped off the wrapping paper on a nerf gun "He's 6 now he can have a nerf gun" She said as Ray started to open it and Liz got up to help him then I heard Makenna scream with excitement. I look over to see she also got a nerf gun. "Oh god- mom really?" I ask "Grandmas the best" The twins say in sink with each other. "I know I am now let's go play" Mom said, pulling out her own nerf gun and the three of them ran outside. "That woman is so old but has some spirit." I said leaning back as Liz joined me. "Yeah but at least they have fun with her." Liz said.

"Yeah that's good they have fun" I said then my phone starts ringing so I stand up. "Sorry baby I have to take this" I say and walk into the kitchen and answer the phone. "Hello" I said "Hey its jaxson how are you?" He asked, "Good, we're just celebrating my twins birthday that's all. Would you like to stop by and have some cake?" I asked "oh no I don't want to inturted" He said "please stop by, I'll send you my address." I said "Okay I'll stop by" He said "Great I save you a piece" I said.

About an hour later Jaxson showed up and I introduced him to the family and we told mom about alex. Then had cake. In the end it was a nice day and a great birthday for the twins. They loved their presents and loved jaxson as well. After we put them to sleep mom left and Liz and Jaxson all started to talk. "So what was it like with Alex?" Liz asked "Well we barely got to eat or drink..and we were hit a lot" He said "are you okay?" I asked "Yeah that seems like a lot of trauma Jaxson" Liz said "I am going to therapy and I'm on some pills to help." He said
