*skip to Riley's 18th Birthday*

Riley's POV:

I awake to soft touch of Lucas's lips on mine, his way of waking me up, I kiss him back passionately taking him a back.
"Happy birthday baby." He smiles and kisses me again.
"Thank you." I giggle and hug him.
"Mama! Mama! Dada! Dada!" I hear a small voice calling sweetly from the next room, Lucas and I smile at each other and make our way to her room to see her.
"Good Morning babygirl. How are we this morning?" I say brightly moving over to her crib, where she is stood up bouncing up and down, holding onto the edge of her crib.
"Up! Up!" She asks and Lucas lifts her out of the crib and whispers something in her ear.
"Happy Birfday mommy!" She giggles putting her arms out to me, so I take her from Lucas and we go into the kitchen, where I see breakfast laid out, a pile of cards and 3 small boxes.
"Happy birthday Riley. I made you breakfast." Lucas says as I place Amelie in her highchair.
"Thank you, now I'm hungry, let's eat!" I say and we sit down and eat our pancakes.
"Happy Birthday my love." Lucas says again, passing me the pile of cards after we finish our breakfast. The first card is from Lucas, the second from Amelie, the third from Pappy Joe, Cletis and Mr Friar and the last from my maternal grandparents, who although I have never met them, still send me a card every birthday. When I have opened all the cards, Lucas then slides the boxes in front of me and I slowly open them. The first box has a necklace that has Amelie's finger print on and a few diamonds in, which is from Amelie. The second is pair of diamond earrings in a heart shape, and a matching charm for my bracelet I got a few years ago, this is from Lucas and then I finally move onto the last box, I open it to find another charm.  

I look at Lucas for an explanation

I look at Lucas for an explanation.
"I-it's from our angel baby, I hope it's okay I got you something from them, it's just I saw it and I had to get it. Is it okay?" He stutters.
"It's beautiful Lucas. Thank you. I love it." I say, as tears fall down my face.
"I'm glad."
"You know, they'd be nearly ready to be born, I'd have been very pregnant right now. I love you." I say, wiping the tears away from my face.
"But I'm not, so let's get on with my birthday." I continue and Lucas hugs me before agreeing.

"So what are we doing today?" I ask as Lucas comes out of the bathroom after taking a shower with just a towel wrapped around his waist.
"We are going to do what ever you want until 3, when we are going over to your parents house and then we are all going out for dinner, and after that, Amelie is going back with either Eric and Jack or your grandparents and we will have the night to ourselves." He explains coming over to wear I was sat at my dresser doing my makeup.
"That sounds perfect." I say turning around to kiss him, I kiss him fiercely and we make out for a few minutes, all the meanwhile Lucas's towel getting looser until it drops, which is when I decide to wind him up and stop our make our session.
"Urgh! You're such a tease Matthews." He tells me and I simply smirk in reply. I then walk out of the room and go and play with Amelie for a bit until Lucas is ready.
"So what do you want to do?" Lucas asks me when he is ready.
"Well we only have 4 hours roughly, do you know what I really want to do?" I say.
"What?" He replies.
"I just want us to take a blanket and go sit in the park and play with our  daughter." I explain.
"I think that sounds great, just make sure to wrap up warm, it's cold out."
"I will."
