''Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Drew! Happy birthday to you!''

Drew woke up, confused, but smiling then as his parents and siblings were standing by his bedside, waking him up and his mom hugged him.

''Happy birthday sweetie.''

Drew smiled happily as he climbed out of bed and the family walked downstairs. Gabby had made little cupcakes for breakfast and they ate it, Gabby preparing some coffee for her and Matt and they sat down with the kids,whom all had some strawberry flavoured milk.

''These are so good, mom.'' Lauren said as she held up the raspberry muffin and Gabby smile gratefully as it had been a lot of work to make them, but she wanted to do something for breakfast this birthday as they hadn't celebrated his birthday really big last year because of Glenn's surgery.

''We all got you some presents, kids, get your presents!'' Gabby said and the kids ran up the stairs while Matt walked to the living room, retrieved their present from the cabinet in the living room and his own present from the shed.

The kids handed their present to Drew, a new notebook with a fire truck upfront and a new schoolbag and Drew smiled happily.

''This is also for you, champ. Got something to work on.'' Gabby smiled and Drew ripped the paper of and looked at the LEGO firehouse and started to cheer.

''Glad you ike it.'' Gabby smiled and Drew nodded, took the gift from his father.

''It's finished.'' Matt just said and Drew looked excited as he could guess what was under the paper and he took the wooden fire truck in his hands and he smiled at his daddy as they had spend so much time in it. It was so detailed and Aiden took it from his younger brother, looking at it with open mouth.

''Close your mouth, you are catching flies.'' Lauren said dryly but took it from Aiden's hands and looked at the masterpiece, knew how much time and effort her brother and father had put in it. They all god dressed before the visitors came and Matt and Glenn headed out. Matt dropped Glenn of at therapy for his leg and arm and went out for shopping and the cake then.

Gabby's parents and Matt's mom entered at the same time, congratulating Drew and giving him gifts and Matt and Gabby got the drinks ready while the kids talked with their grandparents, Aiden about the sports he played at school and Lauren about the tests she had made at school and had finished with great results. She turned out to be great at languages. Glenn told them that he was starting soccer again and Drew just showed them the fire truck, how proud he was about it as and how happy he was he had spend the time with his dad working on it.

Antonio and Laura also entered and Gabby teased her brother it was almost his 50th birthday and he teased her back that he wasn't getting younger either. Diego and Lucia also entered and Matt and Gabby knew they were moving in together soon. How long before they would have to wave Aiden goodbye because he was moving in with the love of his life? It was insane.

The doorbell rang again and Gabby jumped up and walked to the door. Opening the door she looked surprised as Eva and Tim walked in.

''I am so happy to see you!'' She said as she had not surprised her niece and her husband as she hadn't seen them in a while.

''We are looking at houses here in Chicago, we are moving back here because...'' She smiled but looked through the hallway in the living room then, at the birthday boy. ''Hey little nephew, congratulations on your birthday!'' She said as she and Tim congratulated Drew on his fifth birthday and gave him his birthday gift, a cute t-shirt and an action man DVD.

Matt got everybody something to drink again while the family chatted up and he looked outside, where Diego and the kids were playing soccer, while his girlfriend was sitting on the bench, watching him.

Inside, Eva suddenly stood up as they were all having a drink Drew's birthday and rubbed over her tummy.

'''Tim and I have something to tell you. Mom and dad already know, but... Tim and I are expecting our first baby in five months. It's a girl.''

Gabby and Matt laughed happy and hugged Eva and Tim, so happy with the great news and Gabby poked Antonio, teasingly. ''Grandpa.''

''Oh shut up, just wait ten more years and Lauren will have the same news for you.'' He teased her back and she hugged her brother, hardly believing he was going to be a grandpa already.

Matt smiled as he saw Gabby interacting with his brother and realized that everybody had gotten a lot older and their lives were changing. Their twins were getting older and older and going through puberty. Glenn was getting so big and smart and Drew was Drew, always happy and excited about firefighters, getting along well with the kids his age.

They chatted through the evening and they put the kids to bed as it was really late.

''How was your birthday?'' Gabby asked as she put Drew to bed and he smiled.

''It was amazing. I loved it. Thank you for the awesome day.''

''You are welcome, glad you had a good birthday.'' Gabby said as she pulled the fire truck blanket over him and kissed him on his forehead and he almost immediately fell asleep. Matt was already in bed and she crawled in his arms.

''Oh, imagine Lauren coming home telling us we are becoming grandparents in a few years.'' Gabby sighed as she thought about her niece. She would be so glad if Lauren was together with the love of her life and happily settled.

She caressed to Matt's hair that was getting grayer and grayer and smiled.

''We are getting older and older.'' he sighed but kissed her.

''But I want to grow old with you, sit on a bench in the park and feet the birds, scold at some boys that are annoying the pigeons.'' She smirked and he laughed.

''I don't want to grow old with you.''

Gabby looked really shocked but then she saw his smile.

''I want to spend eternity with you.'' He said then as he kissed her.


NOTE: The kids are getting older but so are the people around him. Drew got some attention this chapter and also some Dawsey. Also more about the Dawson family. Matt and Gabby were 29 and 27 in the beginning of the story but now they are 42 and 40, so it's not just the twins aging and I am trying to focus on that a little bit more.

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you liked this chapter although the update is a little late. Please tell me what you want to see in future chapters and what you thought about this chapter by leaving a review, thank you!
