"Good morning, Mrs. Barba," Rafael Barba grinned softly, straddling her in his bathrobe. Juliana chuckled as she woke up. "Hi, Rafi." "Happy birthday," he murmured into the crook of her neck as he kissed her. "Mmm, Papi," Juliana groaned. "I made you breakfast; and I have your first gift of the day," Rafi smirked. "Oh yeah? What's that?" Juliana asked. "Me. Wanna unwrap me? You can eat me after," he teased. "Oh, maybe later, baby, you let me sleep in and I'm so hungry," Juliana smiled. "Aight then. Why don't you get ready, and I'll get you your special birthday breakfast," he promised. Juliana kissed his cheek softly. "Okay. Just a second."

Juliana sat at the counter as a shirtless Rafael put a chorizo, egg, bean, and rice burrito in front of her, as well as two toaster strudels and a cup of coffee. "Ooh, those are nice drawings, Raf," Juliana smiled, looking at the frosting on the toaster strudels. "Oh, a heart and a diamond ring. How cute," Juliana laughed at the first one. Rafael smiled at her as he ate his own food. Juliana looked at the second pastry. "Oh. Is that a, uh.... frosting dick?" Juliana asked. Rafael chuckled. "Yep. Full of frosting, just like the real one in your life."

"Aw, Rafael, I love our breakfasts," Juliana smiled as she looked at the kids, smiling down at them. "Hi, Lena! Hi, Chris! How you guys doin today, huh? It's Mommy's birthday today," Juliana smiled. "It's going to be a very fun day for you guys! Chloe's gonna bring you to the precinct today," Juliana smiled. "You don't know what I'm saying, huh? Oh well," Juliana laughed. "Chloe's here, mi amor. Come on, let's go, and put a shirt on, I'll drive," Rafael smiled as they finished eating.

"There's the birthday girl!" Fin grinned happily as Juliana entered the squad room.
Everyone cheered excitedly as Juliana entered the squad room on her birthday, glad to have something to celebrate. Rafael smiled at Juliana as he walked in beside her. "Thanks, guys, so much," Juliana chuckled. "Our pleasure, really," Mike Dodds smiled.
Juliana turned to look at Rafi, an awkward look on her face as he nodded, feeling just as awkward. "Your party's later today, at six," Liv smiled as Juliana went around giving everyone hugs. "Aw, a party? Y'all didn't have to," Juliana smiled. "But we wanted to," Carisi smiled. "Well, thank you, all of you," Juliana smiled as she sat down on her desk as Rafael kissed her goodbye. "I'll be over for your party," he smiled. "Te amo, mi vida," Juliana sighed. "Te amo, mi amor," Rafi nodded just as he left.
Juliana looked around at her desk, excited to have a perfectly balanced birthday; good breakfast, ass-kicking during the day, small party in the evening, drinking at night, and who knows what at home. Juliana checked her text messages and such. "Oh, I totally forgot," Juliana sighed to herself. "What's wrong?" Liv Benson asked. "I completely forgot that Chloe, our babysitter, has to move to California for school. We're gonna have to find a new one pretty soon," Juliana sighed. "Oh, well, if you want, you guys can just leave the twins with Lucy before work. I mean, she's already watching one kid," Olivia pointed out. "Oh, wow, thanks, Liv. Thank you so much," Juliana smiled. "Oh, no problem," Liv nodded as she headed back into her office.
