March 22nd. Our babies birthday. We are throwing a huge party for them both. We put decorations up everywhere. Eddie even got the kids a little cake. We invited the usual. The party, Hellfire, our parents/uncle, and Jason and Chrissy.
We hear rapid knocking on the front door. I look at myself in the mirror one more time. Checking my enormous belly filled with three little munchkins, popping through my dress makes me look fat not pregnant.

I set down Travis and he rushes to the door. He points to the tall door and throws his cup to the ground. "Eddie!" I shout for him to come down. He rushes down the stairs out of breath.
"Whats wrong are you ok..!?" He comes to me and holds my belly. I cup his cheeks.
"People are at the door." He sighs and chuckles. He opens the door. We both see a happy Robin with a sober Steve.
"Hello!" Robin hugs me and kisses my belly a million times. "How's my favorite family of SEVEN!" She hugs Eddie then picks up Travis. "It's your aunt Robin! Your favorite aunt!" She bounces him up and down. Watching my son laugh in my best friends arm just makes me wanna cry happy tears.
Amelia comes running over immediately to Steves leg. "Steve!" She shouts and claps her hands. He slowly picks her up then throws her slightly in the air a few times. She puts her head in the crook of Steve's neck.
"I'll take the presents." I say and bend down. Eddie grabs my hand and slowly pushes me back up.
"No. I'll get them." He assures. I nod and let him do it. Eddies very cautious about everything I do. I can't even get a glass cup from the top cabinet most of the time. I appreciate what he does for me, he just needs to know I can do things on my own.
He comes back from the living room. He wraps his arm around me while rubbing my stomach. "I scheduled a photo shoot for us and the kids." I softly say. He smiles at me and kisses my cheek.
"That sounds amazing sweetheart. When exactly?" He cups my face.
"Next week. I thought it would be nice. Even with my stomach with my ugly stretch marks." Eddie gently slaps my arm. He puts his finger on my lip.
"You better apologize to your self. You are beautiful ok. Who cares about stretch marks, I don't care about them. Steve do you care about stretch marks?" I blush at his words.
"No." Steve sets Amelia down. "Who cares about stretch marks...?" He dramatically puts his hands on his hips. I sigh and rub my arm.
Eddie cups me face and smiles at me. "You are beautiful ok. You are perfect the way you are." He kisses my forehead and rubs it with his thumb. I melt into his touch admiring his eyes.
——cake and present time——
"Ok ok everyone come in the kitchen!" Everyone gathers in the small but open kitchen.
