Chapter 65: Celebrating Life's Blessings

Years had passed since the birth of their twins, Rowan and Emery, and Azrael and Cassiel's family had grown and thrived. Their home was a tapestry woven with laughter, love, and shared memories—a testament to the journey they had embarked upon together.

On a bright and sunny morning, Cassiel woke up with a sense of excitement in her heart. It was a special day—a day to celebrate the ones she loved most. As she prepared breakfast in the kitchen, a mischievous smile played on her lips.

Down the hallway, Azrael was still asleep, his features relaxed in slumber. Cassiel gently placed a kiss on his forehead before sneaking into the children's rooms to wake them up.

"Rise and shine, my little ones! It's a special day," she whispered, her voice filled with delight.

Rowan and Emery rubbed their eyes, their faces lighting up as they realized the significance of the day. "Mom, is it Dad's birthday today?"

Cassiel nodded, her eyes sparkling. "Yes, it's your Dad's birthday. And we've got a surprise planned for him."

As the family gathered in the kitchen, the table was adorned with a spread of Azrael's favorite breakfast treats. The aroma of pancakes, bacon, and freshly brewed coffee filled the air.

Azrael walked in, his expression a mixture of surprise and delight as he took in the scene before him. "What's all this?"

Cassiel grinned, her eyes dancing with mischief. "Happy birthday, hubby! We wanted to start your day off with a special breakfast."

Azrael's smile widened, his heart warmed by the love that surrounded him. "Thank you, Cassiel. You've truly outdone yourself."

As they enjoyed the breakfast feast, laughter and conversation flowed freely. Rowan and Emery shared stories of their own, their voices filled with enthusiasm as they recounted their latest adventures.

After breakfast, Cassiel gathered the family in the living room, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Now, it's time for the second part of the surprise."

With a flourish, she handed Azrael a small envelope. Inside was a letter from their daughter, accompanied by a sonogram image. Azrael's eyes widened in amazement as he read the letter.

"Dad, guess what? You're going to be a father again! Mom and I are expecting another baby. Happy birthday, and get ready for more love in our family."

Tears welled up in Azrael's eyes as he looked up at Cassiel, his voice choked with emotion. "Cassiel, is this for real?"

She nodded, her smile radiant. "Yes, Azrael. We're going to be parents again."

Azrael pulled Cassiel into a tight embrace, his heart overflowing with joy and gratitude. "This is the best birthday gift I could ever ask for."

As they celebrated Azrael's birthday and the exciting news of their growing family, their hearts were united in a shared sense of wonder and anticipation. The journey they had embarked upon together was far from over, and with each passing day, their love story continued to evolve, bringing with it new blessings, new adventures, and a deeper connection that was unbreakable—a connection that had been woven by the threads of love and shared moments that defined their beautiful journey.
