"Happy Birthday, Kyra" our family and friends called out as we stepped into the soft play area, her hand clasping over her mouth as she glanced around. I couldn't not chuckle as I pressed my lips delicately against her temple.

"This is all for you, Angel" she giggled as she dropped her head onto my shoulder and suddenly went shy. "You aren't shy, Baby" she squealed as I poked her lightly in the tummy.

"No" I chuckled and lowered her to the floor. Kobe ran his hand along my back as Ayla took Kyra's hand and pulled her towards her grandparents. I sighed and leant into Kobe who locked his arms around me and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. I pulled my phone from my pocket.

"No reply?" I just shook my head. "It's his loss, Baby" he pressed a kiss to my cheek as I just sighed. "Let's not let him ruin her day, okay?" I nodded, forcing a smile onto my face as I turned around.

"Okay" he pressed a kiss to my lips causing my smile to widen.

"I love you."

"I love you too" he stroked a strand of my hair behind my ear and gave me another kiss before he pulled me towards the girls.

"She looks like she's having the time of her life" Kobe lightly chuckled as he sat beside me, his arm settled on the back of my chair. The smile on my face was enormous as I watched Kyra play, her giggle bouncing off the walls.

"She has your laugh" I rolled my eyes as I glanced to Kobe. "And that's a good thing, my love" I giggled as he tapped my nose.

"My love? That's a new one" he nodded with a chuckle. He leant to kiss my lips causing me to widely smile.

"You guys are too cute" Dallas huffed as she took a seat opposite us. I lightly giggled as I detached our lips and turned to her.

"Can we help you, Dal?"

"Nope, just thought I'd interrupt before you got too carried away" I rolled my eyes as she lightly chuckled. "Max not coming then?" I shook my head, sighing as I glanced down at my phone.

"Nope. I think I'm just going to give up, especially with things concerning Kyra. She has Kobe and he's her daddy" I glanced to Kobe who gave me a smile and stroked a strand of hair behind my ear. "He can still see Ayla even though he hasn't seen her in nearly two weeks. I just don't know what to do anymore" Kobe ran his hand along my back.

"What's your custody arrangement?"

"Joint" I sighed.

"You thinking of going for sole custody?" I shrugged, glancing to Kobe who pressed a kiss to my temple.

"I don't think Max would react well to that."

"He doesn't even see them, Dems."

"I don't think I want to drag the girls through that anyway" Dallas gave me a smile as she grabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Whatever you decide to do, we'll stand by you."

"Thanks" I gave her hand a squeeze in return.

"MOMMY" everyone's attention was pulled to Ayla as she screamed, followed not long later by loud crying. I pushed myself up from my chair with Kobe following closely behind me. I began towards the soft play area and dropped to my knees, catching Kyra as she threw herself at me, sobbing into my neck.

"You're okay, Baby" I pressed a kiss to her forehead and ran my fingers through her hair. "What happened, Angel?"

"She fell" I turned to Ayla who was staring at Kyra with worry.

"Did you hurt yourself, Baby?" she nodded as she showed me her elbow. She had a tiny little graze. "It's a graze, Beautiful. There's no blood" she sniffled. "You want mommy to kiss it better?" she nodded, giggling as I dramatically kissed her elbow. "There's Kyra's beautiful giggle" she squealed as I peppered her face in kisses too. "You want to go and play, Angel?" she shook her head and cuddled herself into me. "Shall we have cuddles for a little?" she nodded and I smiled as I pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Go and play, Peanut, okay?" Ayla nodded as I stroked a strand of hair behind her ear. I watched as she ran off into the play area. I stood, keeping Kyra in my arms as I began back towards the table.

"You okay, Princess?" Kobe stroked his fingers through her hair as she cuddled herself more into me.

"Yeah, I think she's tired" he pressed a kiss to my temple. I ran my fingers into Kyra's hair, leaning my head on Kobe's shoulder.

-

"Blow out your candles then, Angel?" she giggled as she leant forward and I aided her in blowing out her candles. The room erupted in a cheer and Kyra giggled, nuzzling her face into my neck. I stroked my fingers into her hair and kept her cradled against my hip, gently rocking us both. "You want a slice of cake, Baby?" she nodded. I lowered her down to the floor and grabbed the cake, heading to Kobe who had the knife. He pressed a kiss to my temple as I lowered the cake onto the table in front of him. "Just cut it into pieces and people can grab what they want" he nodded, beginning to cut into the cake. "I can't believe I have a two year old" he lightly chuckled.

"You thought about any more babies?" I glanced to him, biting down into my lower lip.

"Is that you asking if I want more babies?" he shrugged. I lightly giggled. "I'd love more babies. I'd especially love your babies."

"Babies? So are we talking plural?"

"That depends on how many you want?"

"It's your body, Baby. How many do you want to carry?"

"I would definitely like more than one little Kobe running around..." he rolled his eyes and I giggled. "Two?" his lips twitched at the corners and he nodded.

"Two sounds good."

"Then it's a deal" he sealed the deal with a kiss and a chuckle. "Did we really just have this conversation at my daughters second birthday party?" he nodded as he laughed louder.

"I think we did" I lightly giggled, our attention landing on the cake. My insides quivered at the thought of carrying Kobe's baby.
