He was thirty years old. The big three-o. A new decade in his life. Boy was his wife rubbing it in. Ty watched his wife as she got dressed up. She was taking him out for a romantic dinner. He was excited to get his present, sex with his wife.
"How do I look?" Alex asked. She was wearing nice black pants and a low cut blue shirt. Ty grinned.
"Very very hot, sweetheart." He said as Kim at the front door rang the doorbell.
"Good." She winked playfully as she walked out of the room, "Jade, are you going to behave for Aunt Kim?"
"No." Jade said slowly walking down the stairs with her mother.
"You better young lady." Alex smiled going ahead of Jade to let Kim in. "Hey."
"Hey." Kim smiled as she walked in. "Boy, you look nice."
"Thanks." Alex chuckled.
"Hey." Ty walked downstairs.
"Happy birthday." Kim said, "I would have brought a present for you, but I figured babysitting for free was nice enough."
"Oh it is." Ty chuckled. Jade ran into Kim's arms.
"Thank you for this, Kim." Alex said as she put some earrings in. "We should be home around one or two. Feel free to crash in the spare room if you want to."
"Thanks. I probably will as long as you don't wake me up when you get in." She said.
"I can't promise anything." Ty chuckled.
"Come on." Alex said, "We have a reservation to make." Alex leaned over and kissed Jade's cheek, "Have fun with Aunt Kim."
"K, Mommy." Jade grinned.
"Have fun." Kim smiled

Ty rubbed his hands together as the fillet mignon was placed in front of him.
"God, I love this." He grinned.
"Smells delicious." Alex said as she bit into a piece of the meat, "God, tastes delicious also."
"Thank you for the dinner, Alex. It's nice to get away from the house." Ty chuckled, "You know, with out our hellion screaming."
"That's always nice." Alex said, "Oh do you want your gift?"
"Isn't hot sex going to be my present?" He asked.
"Well, no. That's just what we're going to do when we get home." Alex said as she put a small package on the table. "This is your gift." Ty smiled as he picked up the green package.
"You shouldn't have." He said, "Our anniversary is next week. You should have saved your money for that."
"Don't worry about your anniversary present." Alex smiled, "Open it up." Ty tore through the paper.
"A watch." He looked at the watch, "Wow, a very nice watch."
"It has an engraving in it." Alex smiled. Ty turned it over and read the engraving out loud.
"Happy Birthday to the best Daddy." He smiled, "Thank you."
"It's from Jade too." Alex said.
"Turning thirty isn't that bad." He said. The couple sat there for the next hour chatting and eating. It was great to have adult conversation. It had been a really long time since the two of them talked one on one.
"Well, a birthday wouldn't be complete without some cake." Alex said waving the waitress over. Suddenly, the entire restaurant started to sing happy birthday to Ty. The waitress brought over a large birthday cake. Ty was so embarrassed.
"You're going to get it, Alex." He chuckled as the cake was placed in front of him.
"Make a wish." Alex smiled. Ty smiled and blew out the candle. Everyone started to clap. Ty chuckled softly. A little embarrassment always did a birthday boy good.

Ty stretched as he got into the locker room. It had been a busy day at work. He had brought in twelve people. While on break, he and Sully stopped at party time to make sure they had the order for three dozen balloons for Jade's birthday in a couple of days. So far there weren't any snags in their birthday plans.
"Here." Bosco handed Ty a pink gift.
"What's this?" Ty asked.
"A gift for Jade. I'm not going to be in town and well, here."
"Thanks man." Ty smiled, "You didn't need to get her anything."
"I wanted to. But don't tell anyone here I wrapped it myself."
"You wrapped this?" Ty looked at the perfectly wrapped pink package. He started to laugh.
"Shut up man." Bosco said, "I'm out of here."
"Me too." Ty winked closing his locker.
"When do you want me there?" Sully asked as he walked up to his partner.
"Oh ah…I think Alex said around three." Ty smiled.
"Terrible twos." Sully chuckled.
"Don't remind me please. The ones were hard enough." He said, "I'm gone. See you Saturday." Ty walked out. A few other people handed him gifts for Jade. He talked them all. Sometimes he really enjoyed the people he worked with. They didn't have to give his daughter's gifts, but yet they did. Ty got in the car and blasted the radio.
"Oh yeah, some Ozzy." Ty bounced his head to the music, "All aboard. Ha ha ha!" Ty sped along the road towards his house. "You rock Ozzy. You really do." Within five minutes, Ty was in the driveway. He shut the car off and got out. "Now, finally I can get some sleep as long as Jade isn't screaming." He yawned and walked in. He stopped in his tracks. There were candles leading him into the dinning room. He smiled to himself. Did he miss something? Their wedding anniversary was a couple of weeks ago. He followed the candles into the dinning room and there was a candle light dinner waiting for him.
"Hey." Alex smiled at her husband.
"Hey. What is all of this?" Ty asked taking his jacket off.
"I just thought I'd do something nice for you. You were working all day." Ale said as she sat down in front of her plate.
"Well, thank you." He smiled sitting down, "Baby back ribs. Christ, Alex, you're too good to me." Alex smiled.
"I know." She chuckled, "Did you make sure the balloon order was okay?" Ty nodded as he started to eat.
"Yup. They'll be here at noon." He said.
"Good." Alex said, "Here are some baby carrots and corn."
"I love this baby corn." Ty chuckled.
"I know." Alex winked.
"Where's Jade?" He asked.
"Maggie has her for the night." Alex smiled playfully.
"Seriously, why the candle light dinner?" Ty asked. Alex smiled at him.
"Well, I got some good news." She said. Ty looked at her.
"And what would that be? Must be good because you don't make baby back ribs every day." He chuckled softly. Alex nodded.
"Oh it's really good." She smiled.
"Then spill." Ty said.
"Well, I'm pregnant." Alex said. Ty's eyes widened.
"You're pregnant?"
"Yup." Alex smiled, "Six weeks about."
"You're pregnant??" Ty's eyes started to fill up with tears.
"Yes!" Alex laughed.
"You're pregnant!?" Ty jumped up, "You're pregnant!!" He grabbed his wife and started to swing her around the room, "You're pregnant!!!!" Alex was laughing hysterically.
"Put me down!!" She laughed. Ty put her down and looked at her with tears streaming down his face.
"Oh my god Alex." Ty whispered, "What…Do you know your due date?" Alex shrugged.
"I've been doing the math all day and I think about February 1st." She said. Ty ran his hand over his head.
"I believe this." He said rewrapping his arms around her, "We're going to have a baby." He held his wife tightly. Finely, there was going to be another little Davis running around here.
