Part 15 Tristian's 23rd birthday

It's been 1 year since Joseph was born, we celebrated his birthday about 3 months now since we celebrating but today is my birthday I am turning 23 its getting harder to celebrate my birthday as I only have 2 more years with my boy and soon to my other baby. Yes, that's right Anna is 4 months pregnant again. Anna is having a lot of mood swings with this pregnancy, so I never know if I done wrong to upset her, I told everybody not to cause drama.

I had to pop to work today, as I went downstairs and was greeted by joseph and Anna wishing me a happy birthday, joseph said to me "happy birth day dadda", I smiled and then Anna said "happy birthday honey", I gave them both a kiss and then joseph wiped his face then we had breakfast and they gave me the cards they have made. We sat and eat that's when we heard a bang at our front door and Eliza and Edward came in with one baby in their arms and that's when Eliza started singing Happy birthday and my head buried into my hands and I felt more embarrassed. She does this every year knowing I hate being made a big deal of. She cam over and hugged me, I hugged her back and said hello to my beautiful niece Alana and my nephew Caleb. We sat and spoke while joseph was playing with his toys and the twins where 10 months now and they are growing quick. They both have Eliza' hair and eyes, unfortunately it was 9am and I had to get to the office and then I grabbed my stuff gave Anna, joseph and Eliza and twins a kiss and then I shuck Edwards hand.

I got to the office about half an hour, on arrival I received a lot of happy birthday I knew this was all to do with Nathaniel he loved helping Eliza with making my birthday a day for me to remember. I went into the office and he came in and said, "happy birthday", I sneered, and he laughed at me then I said, "how you are doing". He said, "I am doing a lot better". Nathaniel choose not to go back to Rebekah; he has recently been seeing Sandra the receptionist they are going quite strong. We carried on talking about work then after that he went to his office. I got my work done as I was leaving the office, I noticed less people in the office, but I looked at my watch and seen It was 5pm, so I made my way home.

As I walked into the house as I turned to the lounge suddenly, a loud noise got me "SURPRISE", Anna, Eliza, Edward, Nathaniel, my parents and a bunch of other people was here. I thanked everyone for coming and celebrated my birthday. I walked over to the buffet and eat. We spent all night talking to a bunch of people, Anna's family was there we have not heard off them for a while recently as they have been traveling around the country and they went to Wales recently. Her family cam with gifts for all of us and I sat and spoke to her father he was telling about how he is thinking about buying a house in wales in a small town I cannot remember the name of the town. After a while suddenly, I heard Anna and Eliza coming in from the kitchen with a birthday cake and everyone started singing, I blow out the candles and smiled.

After a while, the party came to an end, everyone left my parents was in the house with the children and me, Anna, Eliza and Edward we all sat on the porch talking. Anna said "I cant believe we got 2 years left", I looked at Anna trying to keep control and said to her "Do not think like that we do not know what the future holds". Anna was about to say something, and Eliza said, "let's take every day we have like were living our last". We all nodded as I and Anna cuddling on the chair and Edward and Eliza was. We sat and watched the stars and spoke for like an hour then after we all went to bed.

I got to my bedroom and looked at Anna and said "Thank you for today and I hope you know what you mean to me", she nodded my arms wrapped around her waist and then I said "you mean more to me than anything I could ever want". She smiled and looked happy and then we went to bed.
