*Katie's POV*

February

Mariah starts crying from her room I look at the clock, it's about six in the morning.

Six in the morning of the third of February!

"Louis!" I say.

"What?" he asks, slightly annoyed that I woke him up.

"You know what today is, right?"

"Monday."

"Monday the. . . ?"

"Monday the third. . .of February! It's Mariah's birthday!"

"Her first birthday!"

We both walk to her bedroom where she's still crying.

"Happy birthday, Mariah!" we both say as Louis picks her up.

Her crying calms down pretty quickly. Someone seems to like daddy more than mummy.

*Louis' POV*

"Sweetheart, you know what today is?!" I ask my daughter.

She makes a sound.

"What was that?" I put my ear close to her.

She makes the noise again.

"Yeah! It's your first birthday!"

She starts whining, like she always does when she's hungry.

I put her in her high chair so she can eat. But she seems to have other things on her mind.

"Sweetheart, we don't throw food!" Katie tells her, We eat it. See?"

She puts a Cheerio in her mouth.

Mariah mimics her mother by also putting a Cheerio in her mouth.

"Like  mother, like daughter." I say, smirking at them.

"Like father, like son." she retorts.

That's when I notice that Jordan's copying everything that I do.

I raise my right hand and he raises his. I scratch my face-which I should shave-and he scratches his. I make a funny face and he does his best to copy me.

A high pitched giggle distracts me from mine and Jordan's little game. I look to my right and see Mariah giggling at her brother and myself.

"Did you think that was funny?" I ask her.

"Silly!" she says, a huge smile on her face.

I look between her and Katie. Both of us in shock of what just happened.

"Did she just?" I ask.

"She did." Katie says, knowing what I meant.

"Mariah, say silly again! Say silly!"

"Silly!" she giggles.

"Rabbit, Trix are for kids!" Jordan says.

I lean over to Katie. "I see we've got ourselves a smartass on our hands."

"As I said earlier, like father, like son." she says.

"Touche."

"C'mon sweetheart, let's get you ready for later."

*Katie's POV*

I hear a knock on mine and Louis' bathroom door as I'm getting myself ready and Louis walks in a second later.

"Yes?" I ask him.

"Well, you said that if we ever had a third child, you'd want there to be at least 18 months between Mariah and him or her." he says.
