Months later
"Babe?" I call for Aubrei, who is currently running on the treadmill. She doesn't hear me so I flicker the lights.
"Yeah?" She stops the machine and removes one of her earphones.
"It's March 1st." She nods. "Happy 25th birthday."
"Thank you." She leans over and I peck her lips. "It's nothing special but thank you again." She tries to start the treadmill again but I remove the key.
"Can you come upstairs for a second?"
"Baby, it's just another day."
"The kids are waiting." I tell her and she sighs. I know she doesn't want to celebrate her birthday but she's going to.
I grab her hand and lead her upstairs to the kitchen. Covering her eyes before we get there.
"Why does it smell like something's burning?" She asks and I remove my hands. "Oh shit."
"Happy Birthdayy!!" Kai screams and Renzo screams nonsense. Logan screams nonsense as well.
"Aww. Thank you my munchkins." She kisses both their heads. "I hear her but I don't see her." Aubrei walks around the counter and folds her arms, glaring at me. I walk to where she's at and see Logan sitting on the floor with a tub of ice cream. My baby girl manages to get it open and almost sticks her hand in the dessert. "No ma'am." Aubrei says picking her up and I pick up the ice cream.
"Oh I tried to hide it." Kai shrugs and pulls out a chair. "Sit right here, and close your eyes." He says and she does. He grabs the horrific cake we made earlier and sits it on the table in front of her. "Now open." She does and I'm not sure if it's shock or disgust on her face but she manages to smile.
"Woowww, this looks breathtaking." She laughs almost afraid-like.
"Here have a bite." He gives her a fork, she looks at me and I look away. It's not my birthday so I'm good.
"Shouldn't daddy have the first bite to make sure it's good and I won't be disappointed."
"Oh yeah." He turns to me.
I don't even know what the hell she's talking about so how can he?
"Actually. I don't think either of us should eat it before dinner. Don't want to upset our stomachs."
"I guess you're right." He shrugs. "What time are you leaving momma?"
"Hm? I'm not g—"
"In about an hour, you have a hair appointment. I remember you saying you want to go shorter and dye it. Then you have a nail appointment, I saw you on Pinterest looking at different nails. Lastly, we have dinner at 7."

"Are you going to be okay by yourself with the kids?" Aubrei asks me for the fifth time.
"Yes amore." I peck her lips. "Daddy's got this."
"Okay, daddy." She giggles. "Alright munchkins, be good."
