AMELIAS POV
"Get up," I said as I climbed on top of Owen. I sat on his lap and he chuckled as he opened his eyes.
"Good morning," he said.
"Good morning," I smiled and kissed his cheek, "we have to go decorate."
"It's so early," he said, "look Caroline is still asleep!"
"Get up," I said and pulled him out of bed. We walked downstairs and I took the cake out of the fridge that we baked last night.
"We have to icing it," I giggled.
"At 8 in the morning?" He laughed.
"Well everyone is coming for a late lunch," I said.
"Okay," he chuckled.
"Can you hang the balloons?" I asked.
"Yes I can go hang the balloons," he said and started hanging the balloons on chairs and table centers. I finished icing the cake and wrote Happy 1st Birthday Caroline.
"You have nice handwriting," Owen said and kissed my cheek.
"Thanks honey," I smiled and kissed him. We finished decorating the house and then we heard the baby monitor go off.
"Birthday girls is awake," He said. We walked upstairs and walked into the nursery. Lately she's been sleeping a lot better in her own room which was awesome.
"Good morning birthday princess!" I smiled and picked her up.
"Happy Birthday," Owen smiled and kissed her head.
"Happy Birthday Caroline," I smiled. Caroline started speaking gibberish and she reached for Owen.
"You wanna go to daddy?" I smiled.
"Come here princess," Owen smiled as I placed her in his arms. They were adorable.
"Smile I wanna take a picture of you guys," I said and Owen held her up and smiled.
"Adorable," I smiled.
"Now she needs a birthday picture with mommy," Owen said and grabbed my phone as I picked up Caroline.
"Caroline say cheese," I chuckled and smiled for Owen. We walked downstairs and Owen opened a can of baby food. I put Caroline in the highchair.
"Are you hungry baby?" I smiled as Owen grabbed a baby spoon.
"Caroline here comes the food airplane," Owen said and started making airplane noises and Caroline giggled. She loved it when Owen did that. I smiled as she ate breakfast and Owen and I did the same.
"Caroline are you excited to see your cousins today?" I asked. She giggled and I smiled.
"I'll take that as a yes," I chuckled.
OWENS POV
Today was Caroline's first birthday. I was excited. Time flew by though. It's already been a year. I walked past the nursery and heard Amelia talking to Caroline. I smiled as I stopped in the doorway.
"Which one do you want to wear today?" Amelia asked, "pink? Or purple?" Caroline started speaking gibberish and crawling around the changing table and Amelia chuckled.
"I'll go with purple," Amelia said as she changed her.
"Are you excited for today? It's your first birthday sweet pea. One year old already. You're growing up so fast, and mommy and daddy love you very much," Amelia said. I smiled as I walked into the nursery.
"Look who it is," I smiled and Caroline started crawling towards me.
"Please don't crawl off the baby table," Amelia laughed and picked her up quickly and placed her in my arms.
"Good catch," I laughed and kissed Amelia's head.

Everyone was here and it was going great. Meredith and Derek with Bailey and Zola, Magggie, Megan, and my mom. After Amelia and her mother's argument at Derek's house 2 months ago I don't think they've spoken. They have a really up and down relationship. Sometimes they're okay, and other times they want to kill each other. I try to stay out of it and just let her deal with it however she wants to because it's her family. I walked into the kitchen and Meredith and Amelia were talking with the kids.
"She's adorable," Megan said as she walked up next to me, "she looks so much more like Amelia now."
"Yeah she does," I said.
"Can't believe my little niece is already 1," Megan smiled.
"I know," I said, "kinda crazy."
"Are you two popping out anymore of my nieces or nephews anytime soon," she chuckled.
"I don't know," I chuckled, "we haven't talked about it but probably."
"Oh my gosh really?" Megan said.
"Yes but I didn't say that," I chuckled, "we haven't talked about it yet."
"Alright," she chuckled.

"Owen it's time for cake," Amelia said as she grabbed my arm.
"Okay," I laughed as I got off the couch as did Derek.
"Amelia did you make the cake?" Derek joked, "because I don't want to get poisoned."
"I can bake!" Amelia laughed, "I can't cook but I can bake."
"Baking is her thing," I chuckled.
"If I die it's on you Amy," Derek said.
"Yeah okay," I laughed. We walked into the kitchen and Amelia picked up Caroline from her highchair.
"Caroline it's time to sing happy birthday to you," Amelia said cutely.
"I want to get a picture of the three of you," my mom said and grabbed her phone. I put my arm around my girls and we smiled.
"Adorable," my mom said. My mom took a few more pictures of us with Meredith and Derek and the kids, Maggie, and then Mer took one with my mom and Megan. We all started singing happy birthday and I looked down at my adorable wife holding our precious daughter who was now 1 years old. Time flies.
