Thomas fourth birthday. It was a sunny october day, and Kensi thought it was simply perfect. She sat in her garden, next to her husband and her mother, her son played hide-and-seek with Rob, Nicki, Rachel and Rachels older sister Sarah. Sarah was Rob's age, they even went to the same class, so they got friends somehow. Kensi knew the older ones let Thomas win, but as long as he laughed and had a great time, it did not matter to her. On a woolblanket were the four little kids. Her own twins Kaylee and Michael, Sassy's little daughter Charlotte and Nell's and Eric's litte boy Max.

It was defintifly cute, Kensi suspected them to be close friends already. Max, the oldest, and the twins were sitting, only Charlie, the youngest, could not sit up yet. Kaylee just gave her a hand. They babbled something to each other, it looked like they had a serious conversation. Kensi smiled.

„The first sausages are ready!" Sam shouted.

Immediatly, the hide-and-seek game was forgotten. In a speed not even Kensi had suspected the kids were sitting around the table, waiting for the food. They obviously were really hungry.

„I don't believe that!" Sassy suddenly said.

„What don't you believe?" Kensi asked.

Sassy just pointed to the blanket, on which the little ones were still sitting. All of them. Somehow, Charlie had gotten up. Now, the four just looked to the shocked adults, all with the same sligtly suprised glare, as if they did not understand why everyone was staring at them. Then they just looked at each other again and started babbling again.

Kensi stared a minute more, than she just shook her head and thought by herself how lucky the four were to have so good friends in so young age.

Slowly, the adults started talking again.

It was a perfect day.

Kensi was happy.
