"Mamaaa!" Harper yells.

"Harper Marie, No baby, Mama is sleeping." I mumble turning to lay on Eli's chest. Only to find him not there. His side is cold as if he hasn't been there for a while. I open my eyes sitting up.

It's just My girl. I scoop her into my arms kissing her head. I get up to check Mine and Harper's room for Eli. He's not here. I leave my room.

"Mommy!" I go up the steps to her room and look in there room. Dad is gone to texas and Uncle Seb is in Mexico. So I know they aren't here. She's not here and neither is Baby Sebby. I go back down the stairs to see if Tia is here.

"Aya?!" I call out. No answer. I open her door to see her room empty too.

"I guess it's just you and me baby girl do you want some breakfast?" I set her on the counter and grab some food from the fridge. I make her a quick breakfast and take it outside so she can eat and look at the sky as the sun rises. She smiles running to her favorite chair and getting into it.

"It's kinda dark out here Harpy, are you sure you want to eat out here?" She nods smiling. I sit her food down taking a seat.

"Happy Birthday!!" I scream jumping out of my seat. Everyone is here, smiling.

"Don't do that to me." I cry getting up. My Mom smiles and gives me the tightest hug she can muster.

"Happy Birthday Darling! I am so proud of you." She kisses my cheek. Before pulling away. She has a tear streaming down her face.

"Mommy, No don't cry." I wipe it but she smiles.

"Happy tears My Love." She smiles going to hug My Dad. I throw myself at him hugging him tightly.

"Happy Birthday My Love."

"I love you" I whisper holding him tightly.

"I love you more Princess." He kisses my cheek. I let him hold me gently swaying back and forth unintentionally rocking me to sleep.

Eli's Pov

We watch as Alex just holds Ana.

"Let her say hi to everyone else." Love says grabbing baby Seb from Sebastian.

"She's asleep." He whispers.

"She's definitely asleep." Kylie whispers.

"She loves her Dad so I expect nothing less."

"Kyky" Harper runs over hugging her legs.

"Hi baby girl" she picks her up hugging her.

"Aya have you met Kylie?" She shakes her head and walks over with Spencer who is holding Val. I reach for her and he gives her to me. I hold her to my chest.

"Kylie this is Dr. Aya Salazar Reid and her husband Dr. Spencer Salazar Reid. Oh and this precious lady is Valentina. Tia, Spencer, this is Kylie. She is the one person that I trust who goes to school with me to hold Harper."

"Heart" Harper reaches for Val.

"Here baby girl give her head a kiss." She gives her head a kiss and smiles softly.

"I love"

"She loves you too baby." Kylie smiles at her.

"This is going to make me cry." She whispers.

"It's nice to meet you Kylie." Spencer says laying his hands on Aya's back massaging it.

"Like wise."

"Eli?"

"Hi beautiful." He sets her down letting her regain her balance. She walks over burying her head in my chest.
