I hear a baby wailing, then I felt Ali start to move. I'm guessing to get out of the bed.
"No. Wait. I got it." I say as I put my hand on her arm.
"Oh thank God." She says as she sighs and lays back down, dramatically.
I get out of the bed and zombie my way over to the cot I set up in my room last night. I pick up Faith, because she was the one crying, and go lay her in the bed beside Ali. I go back over to the cot and get the other two sleeping babies. I lay them in the bed with Ali and put pillows where I would lay so the babies don't fall off the bed. Today is Ali's birthday and I have big plans. Around 6 I am going to start breakfast, then we are going on a birthday walk in the park. We have a birthday lunch with our parents, then a birthday dinner with our friends. My parents are going to keep the babies tonight so Ali and I can have bonding time. I go downstairs to get the bottles ready for the babies, they'll be hungry soon. I get the three bottles and stick them in each of the warmers. I go back upstairs into the nurseries and pick out the triplets outfits for the day. I go back down and get the bottles, then go back up. I walk in to see Xander and Stella are awake.
"Hello, my gorgeous little ones. How are we this morning?" I say, in a hushed tone as I move the pillows to sit down on the bed. I pick up Greyson and put the bottle in his mouth while I play with Stella's feet. About 10 minutes later and Greyson is asleep. I change his diaper and lay him down in the cot. I go back to the bed to feed Faith. She eats a little slower, I change her diaper and lay her beside Greyson. They instantly snuggle up to each other and I hear Alexandra start to fuss, I didn't even realize she was awake. The whining stops and I turn around to make sure Ali isn't awake. Ali has Lexa wrapped in her arms, it is just so cute. I take a picture and walk back over to the bed. I carefully unwrap Ali's arms and pick up Lexa. I feed her and put her in the cot with Xander and Stella. I go to the bathroom and get back into bed, leaning my back against the headboard. Ali rolls over and wraps her arms around my waist. She loves to cuddle with anyone or anything. It's just what she does.
I unlock my phone and go to Instagram. I post the picture of Ali and Lexa with the caption,
The snuggle is real. : ) #Iamsolucky #allthetime
I click on my profile and see that my bio still says 'crushing' Man I really should change this.

No Rain, No Flowers.
I smile and put my phone down as it starts vibrating with comments on the picture I posted.
Mrs.Rivers: So cute!!!
S.Cavanaugh: OMG! I can't wait to meet Faith! Adorable!
AMontgomery: I love it!
I smile as I read them and put my phone back down. I lean down a kiss Ali's forehead as I slowly get out of her arms. I put a pillow in my place and go downstairs to start breakfast.
ALISON'S POV:
I wake up to the smell of bacon filling the house and no Emily. I roll over to check my phone and I have 31 text messages, all saying 'Happy Birthday' in various ways. I click into Instagram and see that Emily has posted a picture of me and Lexa. I love her so much. I comment saying,
A.Fields: Stalking me now are we? : )
I put my phone down and hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Emily walks in and sets a tray on the bed. Eggs, bacon, and sausage. Pancakes with 'Happy Birthday' written in whipped cream and a glass of orange juice. A vase with some flowers in it and a little box with a bow.
"Awe, babe, you didn't have to do this." I say and I can feel my cheeks blush.
"Yes, I did." She says as she kisses my forehead. "You work so hard and I barely repay you." She finishes, looking down.
"You repay me by sticking by my side. Being there all the time." I say as I pull her in for a kiss.
"Okay, if you say so." She says, playing with her hands. She looks up excitedly and says, "Go ahead and open it."
I giggle and look at the box. I slowly pick it up and open it.
"Em, baby, it's gorgeous." There is a silver necklace, with a small Eiffel tower charm on it with a separate charm that says 'Je T'Aime' "I love it" I say as I pull her in for a longer, more passionate kiss. "Would you put it on for me?" I ask.

"Sure." She says and giggles.
She put it on my neck and I stand up to look in the mirror. It is the perfect size. I absolutely love it. I can see her staring at me from the bed. "I absolutely love it." I say and she gets off the bed.
"And I absolutely love you." She says as she wraps her arms around my waist and kisses my neck.
I turn around and kiss her lips. I pull away and smile at her. "Now for this delicious looking breakfast." I say and walk over to the bed.
