3 June 1970

ADALINE'S POV

"Mummy..." I felt someone shake my shoulder. "Mummy..." Slowly I woke up to find the kids all on the bed and Paul standing there with a tray of food with balloons tied on it.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!"

"Daddy make breakfast in bed!"

"Did he? Oh, you all are so sweet. Thank you." I smiled as Paul sat the tray down in front of me.

"Our queen deserves breakfast in bed on her birthday." He kissed me lightly. "Happy Birthday, darling."

"Thank you, honey." I kissed back and looked over at the kids. "I absolutely love this. Thank you all."

"Later we do cake and presents! Daddy said we have to wait until we get home." Mady told me.

"I help!" Matt yelled proudly.

"Yes he did. Both you and your sister helped Daddy with Mummy's cake."

"I'm so lucky. Thank you, Matty." I kissed his forehead.

"Eat your breakfast, love. We have a big day today. And don't worry, the kids and I already ate."

"I can't believe I slept through all your morning excitement." I chuckled.

"Mummy, today we go Didneyland!"

"Mickey!"

"We do!"

There was then a loud coo from Mia. I let out a small giggle and picked her up. "Seems that the baby's excited too."

"Mia! We see Mickey Mouse!"

Mia cooed again, causing both the kids to smile.

I started to eat my breakfast as the phone rang. Reaching over I answered it. "Hello?"

"Happy Birthday, sweetheart. I can't believe my baby is 25!" My mother cried on the other end of the line.

"Thank you, Mum. We all miss you."

"I miss you all too! We all do. Your brothers and the girls are here for dinner. They want to say hello. I hope you all have a wonderful time at Disney. I can't wait to hear all about it."

I smiled. "Thank you, Mum. I love you."

"I love you too, Adaline."

Then I heard the rustling of the boys fighting over the phone, causing me to laugh.

"Hey squirt! Happy Birthday!" Alex yelled. "How's California?"

"Oh, A, it's beautiful. We're having a wonderful time."

"I'm glad. We miss you. Charli-"

He was cut of by Charlie taking the phone.

"Our baby sister is 25. Damn, you make me feel old." He laughed. "Happy Birthday."

"I know, I know. We're all getting old." I chuckled. "How's Lily and my darling nephew?"

"Lil's great. She's upstairs with Andy. She sends her love and says Happy Birthday."

"Give them both a hug for me."

I looked up to see Paul pointing at the clock, we didn't have much time until Julie, Blake and the kids would be here.

"I will. So are the kids excited to go to Disney?"

"More than excited. I actually hate to cut off our phone call, but we have to finish getting ready. Julie and them will be here soon."
