Ali's POV

"Justin! Justin come on wake up." I said like a little kid, shaking him.

"Whh...hmm..." Justin moaned. He opened his eyes and turned toward me.

"Austin...he's 3 today. Can you believe it?" I said smiling like a proud mom...hell I was a proud mom.

"Damn..." Justin said smiling. We heard a small knock on the door.

"Who is it?" I said jokily.

"Austin, mommy." Austin said knocking again.

"Austin who? I don't think we know any Austins." Justin said playing along.

"Huh uh...you know one." He said talking clear as day. He knocked lightly again.

"Austin who?" I said looking at Justin.

"Austin...umm...Austin Elijah Harris." He said. "Can I come in?"

"I don't know, Austin. I don't really know you." Justin said laughing.

"Huh uh...huh uh. It me. I yo son, daddy." Austin said knocking.

"Ohhhhhh...I remember now. Come on in, Austin." Justin said. Austin pushed the door open slowly with a smile on his face.

"Mommie!!!" He said climbing in the bed. He snuggled between us.

"Aww...what about me?" Justin said frowning. "I'm the one that let you in."

"Hi daddy..." Austin said laughing.

"Hey, little man." Justin said ruffling his son's hair. "You know what day it is?" Justin said. Austin's smile for bigger and he nodded.

"And what day is it? Why is it so special?" I asked him.

"Because...because umm...it my birthday." Austin said excitedly.

"Yeah...and how old are you turning?" Justin asked.

"Umm...three." Austin said quickly.

"Whoa...you're getting old!" Justin said tickling Austin's belly. Austin held his stomach and laughed.

"No I not." Austin said with a smile in his voice.

"I think you are."

"No daddy, you old." Austin said pointing.

"What about me?" I said making a model pose.

"Mommie, you young." Austin said giving me a hug. I have him a kiss.

"Aww...thank you, baby." I said wrapping my arms around him. He sat on my lap looking forward.

"You welcome." He said smiling.

"What are you teaching my son?" Justin said getting up and putting on a shirt.

"I taught the boy right." I said.

"Whatever..." Justin said.

"Mommie, what are we doing for my birthday?" Austin said looking up at me.

"You know...you and daddy are going to get a hair cut and then you come back here for your party."

"Is granny gonna be there?"

"Yes, of course."

"Are you gonna get me cake?" He said.

"Of course."
