So, it's the big chapter! The boys are one! I'm so proud… Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious.

"Jade? …JADE?" Beck was worried. He had run out to the grocery store to buy yet another bag of chips and when he returned home, his wife and children were nowhere to be seen. He dropped the bags of groceries on the kitchen counter and ascended the stairs. The nursery was empty, as was the guest room. He had already glanced around the downstairs rooms, and when he reached the door to the master bedroom, he knew he had found them. He could hear Jade's voice floating underneath the door, talking to who he knew were the boys.

He pushed the door open and found his wife sitting in the middle of their bed with one of their sons balanced on each leg.

She was saying, "Now, if we just stay in here, we can push your birthday back just one more day so Mommy can still have two little bitty babies." Beck leaned against the door frame and smirked.

He commented, "I hate to break it to you babe, but I don't think that aging works like that."

Her head snapped up and she asked sheepishly, "You heard that?"

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about. I wouldn't mind it if they stayed eleven months just a little longer, but we have just about all the Olivers and Wests in the immediate area, plus our friends flocking here in," he glanced at his watch, "thirty minutes." Jade gave him a look similar to the ones she gave him when he sent her to a 'timeout'.

He chuckled, "Nope, that doesn't work on me anymore." She sighed and he walked over and picked up James, who promptly fisted his hands in his father's hair. Jade smirked as Beck winced in pain.

"That," she gestured to his hair, "is what you get for ruining a wonderful moment. God, and you're the one that's always saying that I need to 'express' my feelings more."

Beck carefully removed his hair from his son's chubby little fist and said, "I said that you need to express feelings other than anger and jealousy more. There is a difference."

Jade smirked and walked out of the room, Max in her arms, and said, "Sure, Beck. Suuurrre…"

"Happy birthday, dear Max and Jaaames, happy birthday to you!" Cheers erupted as James smashed his face into his slice of cake and Max flung a handful of his across the room. Cat squealed and ducked as it sailed into the living room wall. Jade walked over to the boys and demonstrated to Max the proper way to eat cake.

"See baby? This is how you eat ca- …Holy crap, this is good." As the guests moved towards the kitchen to receive their own cake, Beck walked over and attempted to clean James's face off, but he was having none of it.

Finally, he dropped the napkin and said, "I give up."

He bent down to look James in the eye and said, "I hope you're pleased with yourself, little man." James flung a piece of cake into Beck's face in response.

Later that night, after the guests had gone home and the boys had exhausted themselves playing with their new toys, Jade all but collapsed onto the couch.

Beck looked up from where he was scraping cake off the cabinet and asked, "Tired?"

"Thank you Catherine Obvious."

First birthday and it's already as fluffy as my hair after I've blowdried and styled it. RANDOM. XD Anywhos, review!
