It was 4 hours until Quinn's birthday, she was about to tuck her 4-year-old to bed, but before bed, they knelt on their knees to pray. They folded their hands and closed their eyes.

"Hi God," Drizzle began, "tomorrow is mommy's birthday, so I wanna pray for her. Thank you, god for my mommy. She's the best. And she's pretty too." Quinn opened her eyes. She looked at Drizzle in disbelief, while the little girl continued, "I hope she will have a fun, fun, fun, fun day tomorrow." Quinn smiled and shut her eyes close again. Finn watched his 2 girls from the door. "I love my mommy more than my teddy bear, so please let her be happy. Goodnight, God. Amen" With that, she jumped to her bed and giggled.

"Well thank you for the prayer." Quinn said happily but elegantly. Finn walked to the 2 girls as his daughter wrapped her arms around his wife's neck. Ear-to-ear smiles appeared on their face, but it was pass 8. It had passed Drizzle's bedtime, so her parents tucked her in and kissed her goodnight.

"Happy birthday in 4 hours, mommy." She whispered. A soft 'thank you' came out of Quinn's mouth. Finn turned the lights off and her parents' figures disappeared from her eyes. The room was black for a moment. But soon her eyes adjusted to the darkness. She heard her clock ticking. She was determined to stay awake until 12.

Outside her room, Finn and Quinn directed themselves to the kitchen.

"She loves you so much." Finn broke the silence. Quinn chuckled, "Well I surely know where she got that from." He smiled and wrapped his arms around her waist from the back as she washed the cup Drizzle just used. She closed her eyes fro a moment and smiled, capturing the moment for her to keep in her mind.

The clock showed the numbers 00:00, it was Quinn's birthday. Drizzle had gone through the 4 hours in the dark. She took the colorful card she had prepared for her mom earlier and opened her bedroom door to find the hallway that led to her parents' room. She reached the door, and from beneath the door she could tell that her parents were asleep. She slipped the card from beneath the door and sneaked back to her room. She yawned and drifted off to sleep. The sleep she had been waiting for hours.

Inside, Quinn was sleeping peacefully in Finn's arms. The alarm buzzed and Finn smiled. Quinn was slowly awakened. She smiled.

"Happy birthday, Quinn." He softly pecked her lips. Quinn hid her face under her pillow. She mumbled,

"Thanks." Her tone was rather sarcastic. Finn laughed and popped his head under Quinn's pillow. She turned her head to face him and pouted. He smiled reassuringly.

"You have nothing to worry about, Quinn." He kissed her cheek and turned their bedside lamp on. Quinn pulled the covers off her and stood up. He whined. "Where are you going?" He threw his face on the pillow. She laughed.

"The bathroom. What, you want to come with me?" She said playfully. With his voice muffled by his pillow, he answered, "I would love to." Quinn rolled her eyes and laughed again. Finn watched her as she disappeared into the bathroom. A colorful paper was lying on the floor right in front of their bedroom door. He stood up and picked the paper up. A huge smile formed on his face as he saw a doodle of the three of them; him, Quinn, and Drizzle. He felt a figure standing next to him. She tilted her head, staring at the card in a room that was only brightened by the dim light from the bedside lamp. She could see the writing and the doodles, but couldn't make out what the words or the figures say. She looked at Finn, confused. He looked at her face and brought the card closer to the source of light.

As the light grew brighter, the figures appeared clearer. A huge smile formed on her face. She waited for 4 hours, she thought. Finn kissed the top of her head.

"Told you she has my love for you." Quinn blinked her eyes several times and nodded. "Wanna make sure that she's asleep? He smiled a smile he only shared with Quinn. Quinn smiled. She turned the doorknob to find their quiet hallway. The sides were decorated with pictures of them, but mostly Drizzle. Quinn looked to her left, then her right, and then at the door in the end of the hallway. She opened the door gingerly, then turned her head to face Finn. He draped an arm around her and smiled. Their daughter was sleeping peacefully. The darkness of the hallway shone into the room through the gap they created by the door. It created a different shade on the floor, slightly lighter than the darkness of the room itself with Finn and Quinn's figures.

Quinn sneaked in. She stood by her daughter's bed and bent down. She looked at Drizzle's face and smiled. Finn smiled. She rubbed Drizzle's forehead and kissed it.

"Thank you." She whispered. Drizzle fidgeted. Quinn fixed her daughter's covers and looked at her awaiting husband. "I love you." She whispered into her daughter's ear before leaving. Finn turned his daughter's bedside lamp off. He opened the door, ready to meet their hallway again before he heard his daughter's voice again.

"I love you too, mommy. Happy birthday." Her voice was unclear, muffled by the covers. A soft 'thank you' from Quinn's lips filled the air. Finn closed the door and headed back to his room with Quinn.

They slipped back into their warm covers and turned their bedside lamps off.

"Goodnight, Finn." She whispered as she locked her eyes on his.

"Goodnight, Quinn." He whispered as he tucked the loose strands of her blonde hair behind her ear. Quinn closed her eyes, letting it rest after a long day. "Happy birthday." He kissed her forehead. With that, the two drifted off to sleep, waiting for a fun day to begin when they wake up.
