A Morgan and Garcia Family
Chapter 21 - Twins First Birthday
Today is an exciting day as it is Addison and Avery's first birthday so we have organized a little get together here at the Rossi Mansion, Fran is making the cake for the girls it is in the shape of a princess crown, it will have pink icing with Happy 1st Birthday Addison and Avery on it while Rossi is cooking up a storm making spaghetti, pizza, chicken nuggets and lots of other types of child friendly foods, ready for the party to begin at 12:00 pm.
Derek was feeding the girls while Penelope nursed Hunter all while she ate her own breakfast Derek ate his breakfast in between helping the girls with their pancake pieces and their fruit, Hunter pulled away from Penelope's breast and began to cry so Penelope straightened her top and bought Hunter up to her shoulder and began to gently pat and rub his back waiting for him to burp once he burped Penelope stood up and being as though she was the first one finished she put her plate in the sink and then stops beside Derek and leans down to kiss his lips before kissing Addison and Avery on the head before heading upstairs.
Penelope walks into Hunter's nursery and finds him some clothes to wear and grabs a diaper and his towel and then leaves the room and walks towards hers and Derek's room and goes into the en-suite bathroom turning on the shower and grabs her towel before going back into the bedroom where she lays Hunter in the center of the bed while she undresses and then wraps her towel around her and then begins to undress Hunter once he is fully undressed Penelope grabs his towel and wraps it around him and heads back to the bathroom where she takes off both of their towels and hangs them over the towel rail and opens the shower door and gets in the shower, Hunter had his little face buried in Penelope's neck as Penelope has her back to the shower head so that the water to ** Hunter's back but Penelope cupped her hand and caught some water and poured it over Hunter's back before getting some soap and washing Hunter and herself and then rinsing off, Penelope got out of the shower and wrapped her towel around both her and Hunter and then placed his towel over him as well.
Once Hunter was dried and dressed Penelope laid him in his bassinet so that he could have a little nap before they left for Rossi's and then she went on getting herself ready, when Penelope was done with getting ready she went into the girls room and began getting out the pretty little party dresses with the little fairy wings and tutu style skirts, just them Penelope heard footsteps on the stairs and knew that Derek was bringing the girls up so that they could be bathed and dressed while Derek showered and got ready, Derek placed the girls on the floor and Penelope held out her hands as Derek says "Baby where is Hunter" Penelope smiled and said "he is taking a nap before we go so that he won't be cranky about being passed around every 5 seconds" Derek kissed Pen's lips and headed for their en-suite bathroom while Pen headed for the other bathroom where she turned on the taps and began to fill the bath she then picked up the bubble bath mixture and put some in the water.
Finally Derek and Penelope were ready to leave the house and by the time they pulled into Rossi's driveway they noticed that every one was already there waiting for Derek and Penelope to arrive they have found since having Hunter it is not as easy to get out of the house on time with three small children Penelope got out of the car and was just getting Hunter out of the car when I feel a hand on my shoulder I turn around to see Fran, Emily and JJ standing behind me, I get Hunter out of his seat and before I have cradled against me he is taken from me JJ took him out of my arms and began to walk towards the house, so I begin to unbuckle the girls out of their seats I get Addison out and stands her on the ground in front of her while she got Avery out of her seat, now that both girls were out of the car Penelope took their hands and moved them away from the car so that she could close the door when she felt both girls let go of her hands she looked up to see Emily and Fran walking the girls inside Penelope followed close behind.
Derek and Rossi began unloading all of the necessary baby supplies out of the back of the car and got them inside, now that Derek and Rossi had everything inside they joined the rest of the group outside in the back yard where the party was happening, Jack and Henry looked after Addison and Avery while little man Hunter was passed around from person to person until it was time for him to have another feed so Penelope and Fran made their way inside so that Penelope could feed Hunter but also so that she could see the cake that Fran had made for the girls, to say Penelope was shocked well that was an understatement as the cake was exactly how she imagined she turned to Fran and said "thank you so much it is exactly how I imagined it would be" Fran wrapped her arm around Penelope and said "anything for my grand-babies" the moment was interrupted by the cries Hunter was now making and Penelope said "I guess I better get this little man fed and get back out there and enjoy the party."
After Hunter was full and content Penelope took him back outside where everyone was sitting around eating Fran had Avery sitting on her lap stuffing as much of a chicken nugget in her mouth as she could get while Derek had Addison sitting on his lap who was also eating a chicken nugget but only taking little bites, about an hour after every one had finished eating Fran disappeared inside and came back out with the cake in her hands and a little cupcake that had a candle in it while Derek and Rossi went inside to get the highchairs and bought them outside and sat the girls in them, the candle was lit on each cupcake and everyone sang Happy Birthday and Penelope and Derek helped by blowing out the candle and removing it before allowing the girls to make a big mess, once every one had enjoyed a piece of cake it was time for the most exciting part of the day and that is the presents.
