Saturday, February 20th, 7:30 am

Patrick woke up to find Ellen laying on his chest with his arms wrapped around her. It was so natural. He was so in love with her. He decided to get up, make breakfast and then put all of Talulas presents right where she sits at the kitchen island. He made her Pancakes and put Whipped cream and sprinkles on top. He went in to wake up Ellen, He opened the doors to their room, "Shit Patrick. You scared me! Id didnt know where you were!" She said putting her hands on his chest and got closer, "Im sorry honey i was making breakfast. I thought i would let you sleep." Patrick said placing his hands on her hips and kissing her, "Its okay, sorry i flipped." Ellen said, "You didnt flip, i wouldve been scared too and im sorry." Patrick said, "Is T up? I know she told us not to wake her up, but Darby gets nosey in her room so i was wondering." Ellen said, "No shes not, Ill let her wake up on her own." Patrick said smiling, "Mmm so we have some time to ourselves i see..." Ellen said doing her flirty eyes, "Ah yes, yes we do." Patrick said, "Quickie?" Ellen said walking into the bathroom and turning on the shower, "Oh you know it." Patrick said as he pulled his shirt off and got in.

"I love you." Patrick said pulling his lips off hers, "I love you so much, Youre my favorite person to ever exsist." Ellen said as she got up and turned off the shower, "Of course she starts crying the minute we get out!" Ellen laughed, "Ill go get her. I bet the boys are up too." Patrick said, "How about I get the boys dressed and ready and you dress her up.. super cute and all." Ellen said winking as she walked out. "Morning boys!" Ellen said walking into their room, "Mommmmy!" The boys said in unison, "Lets get dressed and go downstairs to eat should we?" Ellen said picking up Darby out of his crib and then after Sullivan. She got them ready and walked out and down the stairs to see Patrick and Juliette just chilling on the couch. "Oh wow J, looking nice!" Ellen said as she was laying with Patrick in this sage romper, with ruffles on the shoulders, and white tights underneath. With a big white headband on her head, with a bow on it of course. "Looking good boys, should we go wake up T? Its 9:30 already." Patrick said, "Yea!" Sullivan said with his cute voice, "No! Shes gonna be pissed!" Ellen said laughing.

"Morning T! Finally!" Ellen said as Talula basically sleeped walked down the stairs at 10am, "Morning Mom." Talula said, "Are you hungry? Dad and the littles are out at the store getting some stuff for tonight." Ellen said, "Yea can i have these pancakes?" Talula said, "Yup, those are for you sweetie." Ellen said, "Did you get it yet?" Ellen said texting Patrick to make sure Talula knew nothing, "Yea, but we cant have it for another 2 weeks, still too little. But i will show her pictures." Patrick replied. "Dads home T! Boys are gonna be all over you, im sorry. I know they can be annoying." Ellen said, "Thats okay, Mom, Theyre going to Auntie Jess' tonight anyway right?" Talula said, "Yep, And Auntie Kate is gonna come over because she wanted to see you on your birthday." Ellen said, "Yay! I miss her." Talula said. "Heyy T! How are you?" Patrick said walking in the door holding Juliette in her carseat. "TALULA!!!" Darby said charging at her, "Im good dad how are you?" Talula said being trampled by her little brothers, "Good, T i got a picture to show you come here. You to Ellie." Patrick said, "Oh... my... god... IS THAT A PUPPY? IS IT MINE?" Talula said, "What does her tag say?" Ellen said, "Dempsey... OH MY GOSH SHES OURS? when can we get her? Like right now?" Talula said, "2 weeks honey, me and dad are going on a trip with our work friends next week." Ellen said, "Oh alright."

It was around 8pm, the boys were at Jessicas, Kate was in the Movie Theatre in the basement hanging out with Talula and her 4 friends. Patrick and Ellen were going out on a date tonight, a beautiful rooftop restaurant, very private. "Hey K, Were gonna go. Shes waiting in the car. Heres Greys baby monitor, thank you so much." Patrick said swinging into the Theatre room, "No problem, How about you guys sleep in the basement basement so I dont hear you guys banging it out." Kate said laughing, "Right, forgot this house has 4 levels. Will do." Patrick said smiling, "Hey wait up, we need to talk real quick, i know shes waiting but. I just wanted to say, since you met that beautiful woman 6 years ago, the look in your eyes has never changed, you have that sparkle for her and her only. Im so proud of how far you guys have come and you have 3 beautiful, talkative, kind, compassionate kids, and one beautiful baby girl, who is so so so special. She loves you dearly Patrick, she has a sparkle for you." Kate said, "Kate youre making me tear up, enough of that." Patrick said smiling and wiping his eyes, "You 2 have fun. Lots of it." Kate said as Patrick walked upstairs.

"Hey what took you so long?" Ellen said as Patrick opened the car door and got in, "Oh nothing, just Kate." Patrick said still wiping his eyes, "You okay honey? Whats wrong." Ellen said, "Just Kate, I actually got what she said on record without realizing it. Wanna hear?" Patrick said, "Of course i do." Ellen said, "Alright here we go, Dont be surprised if i cry again. 'I just wanted to say, since you met that beautiful woman 6 years ago, the look in your eyes has never changed, you have that sparkle for her and her only. Im so proud of how far you guys have come and you have 3 beautiful, talkative, kind, compassionate kids, and one beautiful baby girl, who is so so so special. She loves you dearly Patrick, she has a sparkle for you.'" The voice memo from Patricks phone ended, "Wow, i really do love you, so so so so much. You are my forever bestfriend. You are my soulmate. You are my everything." Ellen said wiping her happy tears, Patrick was crying too, looking into those beautiful eyes who only sparkled for him. "You are my forever and always. I love you so damn much Ellen." Patrick said.

As they pulled up to the restaurant, the paparazzi was already waiting for them. "Ellen, Patrick, Hows your daughter?" One guy said, "Well depends which one." Patrick replied, "Ellen you look beautiful." Another one said, "I know she does." Patrick said trying to cover her up. As they walked into the restaurant they were greeted, "Right this way!" The hostess said, They followed her up a beautiful black staircase. "Heres your table, Can i start you with any drinks?" The hostess said, "Ill do wine." Ellen said, "Me too." Patrick added, "Red or white?" She asked, "Red, both of us" Ellen said, "Be right up. A waiter will be with you in 5 minutes." She said.
