Notes: I'm dedicating this chapter to BTRlover96 since they requested some Lomille fluff. Also a shout of to XxSmileyxDfor giving me the idea of bringing in Lacey's First Birthday :)


It seemed like September 8th rolled around over night. All too soon it was Lacey's first birthday and everyone in 2J was getting ready for a party that the little one would never remember. But, the party was more for the enjoyment of her parents, who would be able to go back and show her how much fun she had.

Mama Knight and Jo were working on making cookies and cupcakes while James and Carlos filled balloons and Katie and Kendall hung up streamers. Mama Knight had kicked Logan, Camille and Lacey out of the house while they were decorating. She wanted it all to be a huge surprise.

Now, Logan and Camille were sitting at a table in Chuck E. Cheese, watching Lacey play with buttons in the Teletubbie ride she was sitting in.

"She looks so happy," Camille said, smiling.

"She should. It's her first time here. She has to figure everything out. Hey, Stephanie is in the mouse costume today," Logan said.

Camille laughed. "How do you know?"

"Carlos told me when I told him we were coming here with Lacey. We should find her and get Lacey a birthday picture with Chuck E. Cheese."

Camille scanned the room and located the large dancing mouse, dressed in his normal basketball shorts and t-shirt with matching hat. She walked over to Lacey, who was happily pressing the pink button that made a ringing noise and bent down to look at her.

"Wanna go see a big mousey?" she asked happily.

Lacey looked at her questioningly and shook her head. "No." she said in her baby voice.

Lacey had become a master at three words already. No, yes, and Mama. She'd been working on Daddy but just called him Yes whenever she saw him. Camille found it cute, Logan couldn't wait to actually be called Daddy.

"It's Auntie Stephie," Logan said, walking up next to Camille.

"Yeah. Come, it'll be fun," Camille said, unstrapping her daughter and setting her on the ground. Lacey was a wobbly walker on her own but if she held onto someone's hand she had enough confidence to walk steadily at a slow pace.

Lacey grabbed onto Camille and they started walking toward Chuck E. When they got there Camille picked Lacey up and bounced her slightly. "Look, Lace. It's Chuck E. Cheese."

Lacey looked at the mouse and promptly started whimpering. Camille held her close and bounced her more. "Don't cry baby. He's not scary. He's nice."

Obviously Stephanie realized that Lacey was having no part of the 'nice mouse' in front of her and she backed away from the crying 1 year old and waved. Lacey forced herself to wave back but then hid her face in Camille's neck. After that, Stephanie walked away.

"I don't think she likes him," Logan said.

"I don't think so either."


Lacey fell asleep on the ride back to the Palm Woods. Logan and Camille had called ahead and they still weren't allowed up in the apartment.

"Where are we supposed to go? Lacey is asleep," Camille said, looking back at the sleeping little girl in her car seat.

"We could go and sit in Palm Woods Park. It's a nice day," Logan said, turning to head for the parking lot.

Camille sighed. "I guess so. She would love it when she wakes up."

"Yes she would."

Camille unbuckled her belt and opened her door once the car was parked. She gently unhooked Lacey from her carseat and waited for Logan to bring the stroller around. She put her down gently and buckled her in and grabbed the diaper bag before they headed across the street to the park.

"This is nice," Logan said, pushing Lacey along in her stroller.

"Yeah. I love this kind of stuff. Just us and Lacey. You think you'll ever want more kids?" Camille asked.

"I don't know. Maybe eventually. When we're older, of course."

"Yeah, definitely."

Logan looked at Camille, who was looking down at the ground as she walked.

"This isn't the part where you tell me that you're pregnant again, is it?" he asked.

"No, no. I'm not pregnant again. I've just been thinking a lot. I mean, I would love for Lacey to have a sibling one day, but by the time we think we'll be ready she'll be like, five or something."

"I was five when my first sister was born," Logan said.

Camille looked at him. "And you didn't feel weird about there being a new baby?"

"No, I loved it. Any younger than that and you get all the jealusey. I mean, there's jealusy no matter what but I understood that the baby needed different things than what I needed. And Lacey will understand too, whenever we decide to have more kids."

Camille smiled. They kept walking until they reached the new fountain that Bitters had put in to get more people into the park. More people meant more money for the venders which ultimately meant more money for him.

Logan stopped Lacey at a bench and locked the wheels of the stroller. Camille sat down but Logan stayed standing.

"Are you going to sit down?" she asked.

"Eventually. Camille, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and there's something I think we need to think about." Logan stuck his hands in his pockets and Camille's heart sped up.

She coughed and sucked on her bottom lip for a moment. "Um, what is it?"

"Camille, I know we're only eighteen. I know we're young. But, if you think about things, then you have to realize how strong and mature we've been. I mean, we found out about Lacey when we were sixteen, she was born when we were seventeen. We've grown up a lot together."

Camille burst into tears and hid her face in her hands. Logan rushed over to her and knelt down, putting his hand on her shoulder.

"What's wrong? What did I do?" Logan asked quickly.

"Are... you... breaking... up... with... me?" Camille asked through her hands.

"No!"

Camille wiped her eyes and looked at him. Logan smiled at her and went back to the diaper bag, which was attached to the back of the stroller. He rummaged around in it for a minute before walking back to her. He knelt down and smiled more.

"Camille, I never want to break up with you. I want to marry you," he said.

"What?" she asked.

Logan showed her a ring box. When he opened it he revealed an engagement ring with half moon diamonds to the sides of a blue sapphire, Lacey's birthstone.

"Oh my God," Camille said.

"Camille Roberts, will you marry me?" Logan asked.

Camille smiled from ear to ear. "Yes."
