"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Rowan. Happy, happy, happy birthday!" Everyone sang and Rowan was giggling the entire time.

I smiled. "My little man is growing up on me." I said as I teared up. "We can always make more." Ashton sang from behind me. "We can, but Rowan will always be my favorite." I said causing everyone to laugh.

Rowan...he's a very bright kid even though he is one. He is handsome and I know that he is going to be a ladies man. He is such a good kid to. His first few months, he was such a quiet baby. I don't recall him crying at all.

He was and still is babied and pampered. "Mama!" He squealed as he put his chubby arms out and started making grabby hands with his chubby little hands. I smiled and walked towards him, picking him up and setting him on my hip. "What is it little man?" I asked.

"Cake!" He squealed and clapped his hands. I smiled. "I'll get some cake for you." I said while Ashton took him so I could cut the cake, I started making plates with cake and ice cream, Ashton was feeding Rowan and himself.

Once everyone had a plate, I started to eat myself. A very big Aleena walked back in for seconds, the girl is nine months pregnant with her little girl. They are naming her Starr. Ryan and Aleena keep bragging about how their girl is going to be a star in the world with an extra r. Doesn't make sense, I know, but we let them do what they want and say what they want.

"Goodness, I can't believe he is already a year old. I remember when he was a week old because Ashton wouldn't let any of us see the little guy the first week of his life." Aleena said, glaring at Ashton toward the end of her sentence.

"I was making sure that he didn't get sick and that he would be safe. Oh, and making sure that my now wife would be safe from sickness and from any single men as well." Ashton said while pulling me on his left knee which was not occupied at all.

"Really Ashton?" I deadpanned. "I'm keeping my girl and my little man safe." He said while kissing my bare shoulder. Rowan giggled and I looked at him with a smile on my lips. He stood up on Ashton's lap, Ashton steadying him, then Rowan leaned forward and left a slobbery kiss on my cheek.

"I got a picture of that!" Emmaline squealed as she waved her camera around. The girl loves photography. I kissed Rowan's cheek and Ashton kissed his other cheek. "I got a picture of that too!" She squealed as Oliver walked in amused. He was working, I could tell.

I smiled while I took Rowan walking out on the back porch, shutting the door to block the craziness out. I looked at the sky that was setting over the ocean. We moved onto his mafia property and built are own family home which is a mansion, but he wants a lot of kids. He said he wants five boys that are all close in age so they protect his princesses and queen.

"You my little man are something special. Your the light into my life and I am so happy to have you. You such a good boy and I love you. I don't know what I would do without you. Now, here in five months, your twin brothers are going to be here." I whispered into his ear. He laid his head on my shoulder and we were both looking at the sunset.

"I got a picture of that!" I heard Emmaline yell and I turned around to see that she had snuck up on us with her camera in hand. "Emmaline, my goodness. You almost gave me a heart attack." I said while I held my heart before I smiled.

"I want to get some pictures of you and Rowan." I said. She squealed and handed me the camera while she took Rowan. I smiled and positioned the camera and I started to take photo after photo of them, each time she was making a different face at the camera and some how Rowan managed to make a different face at the camera as well.

I smiled. "I think that will do guys." I said while I handed the camera back to Emmaline and I took Rowan from her. "Thank you Octavia, just wait until I get all the photos printed." She said with a dreamy sigh.
