Cady and Janis are blowing up balloons. Very important balloons, because tomorrow is their daughters' first birthday. Janis' face is a bit red from the effort and Cady is getting progressively more exhausted.

Cady yelps quietly into a balloon when their phones both go off at the same time. Janis laughs and checks hers to see what it is. It turns out to be a message from Regina in their friend group chat.

reginald: Hey, by any chance do you guys have plans for the Fourth of July?

reginald: Definitely not related to the girls' birthday present at all.

snarkisian: i don't think so ??? why ??

reginald: Good. Don't.

snarkisian: what ???

reginald: Don't make any plans. For that whole week.

reginald: And that goes for the rest of you too.

snarkisian: reggie wtf

snarkisian: this is so ominous what are you planning

reginald: Fun.

snarkisian: that's not helping

reginald: You'll find out tomorrow oh my god. Just let me have this.

snarkisian: ok ok damn

reginald: Thank you. Goodnight and happy birthday twins!!

snarkisian: ?????? goodnight

"Reggie's up to something," Janis sighs, clicking her phone off. They both look around at the sea of balloons around them and realize they can't see the floor anymore. "This is probably enough."

"I think so," Cady chuckles breathlessly. "Let's go to bed, we have a big day tomorrow."

"Big day indeed," Janis murmurs, kissing her wife and leading them up to bed.

"Okay, let's find out what this creepy mystery present your aunties got you is, hm?" Janis says, holding Leo on her lap. Cady has Layla on her lap next to them, and they help the twins open a large bag in front of them.

Layla happily pulls out all the tissue paper and wags it around, seeming more excited about the crinkle sounds than the actual present underneath. Leo reaches in and pulls out a tiny sun hat.

"Aww," Cady coos. "How cute! Little hats."

"There's more, keep going," Karen chuckles as Leo puts the hat on and it falls over her eyes. The twins pull out two little bathing suits, and two pairs of adorable sandals.
