Week 24

Daisy would be two in six days. Today they were throwing her and Sonny a small birthday party. Each girl was allowed to invite one person. Ireland decided just to stick with Ella. Lyric brought Bryan. Randi didn't think a twenty something year old would want to come to a kid's party, but he was happy to come. He was Lyric's best friend after all. Sailor brought Paul and Daisy wanted everyone she had ever met to come.
"Can I play for'em?" Daisy asked. Randi chuckled as she pulled her daughter's red curls into a ponytail.

"Sure. If you want to. You need to teach Sonny how to play." Randi said.

"I try." Daisy said, "He 'tupid." Randi groaned.

"No he isn't stupid." Randi said, "don't say that about nice people." Daisy rolled her eyes. She hated when she couldn't make fun of people not as smart as her. "Let's go." Randi hauled herself up as Daisy ran out of the room.

"Mom, do I look nice? Bryan is downstairs." Lyric spun around showing her mother her blue jeans and green peasant top. Randi smiled softly and nodded.
"Yes. You look nice." Randi said waddling out of the room and down the stairs. She saw most of the people were there already. "Bryan can I get you a drink?" He shook his head.

"No ma'am, I can handle myself." He said, "You should sit down." Randi chuckled.

"You sound like my husband." She said.

"Well, Bryan is right." Dave walked up behind her, "You should sit down." Elizabeth took Randi's arm.

"Come on." She said. Randi rolled her eyes but followed. Dave looked Bryan up and down. So this was the man that Lyric had a terrible crush on.

"So, Lyric says you want to be a doctor." He said. Bryan nodded.

"Yes, sir. I'm almost in med school." Bryan said.

"How's your grades." Dave asked.

"Straight A's, but Lyric has been helping." Bryan smiled. Dave nodded, narrowing his eyes.
"How do you feel about a seven-year-old being smarter than you?" Dave asked. Bryan chuckled.
"It was a little intimidating at first, but she's a very special little girl." He said.

"Yeah she is." Dave said, "Keep her that way." With that, Dave walked away. Bryan sighed deeply.

"Paul is here!!" Sailor squealed. Steve and Misty walked in.

"Yes, we're here." Steve chuckled.

"Good. We were going to do the cake thing." Randi called out as Dave tried getting all the kids to sit still at the table. Paul ran and sat next to Sailor. Misty grimaced as she looked at the cake.

"Okay. Ella can you get the lights?" Dave asked. She nodded and shut them off. Dave lit the four candles on the large cake. Two for each child. "All right."

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Daisy and Sonny. Happy birthday to you." Everyone sang. Sonny clapped his hands and Daisy giggled being the center of attention.

"Blow them out, darlings." Elizabeth smiled snapping off a picture." Daisy took in a deep breath and blew out her candles. Sonny followed her lead and blew out his. Everyone clapped.

"Birthday kids get the first slices." Drew said as he cut into the cake. Randi looked at Elizabeth and smiled.
"Can you believe this?" She asked. Elizabeth shook her head.

"No." She whispered watching Drew give Sonny and Daisy slices of cake.

"Tanks!" Daisy said digging into the cake. Sonny giggled as he dug into his. Randi smiled as she watched them and the others begin to eat their cake. They had some fantastic friends and family. She loved sharing moments like these and soon, there would be two more babies to join the family fun.

Week 26

Dave had a hard time accepting that Randi wanted no more kids after the twins. He understood, but just because he understood, he didn't have to accept it.

"Dave?" Randi wobbled into his office, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just thinking." He said looking at her.

"Thinking about what I asked?" Randi asked him.

"Yeah." He said, "I'm not sure if I'm too keen on having my goods cut off." Randi couldn't help but to chuckle.

"They're not being cut off." She said, "You know how a vasectomy is done." Dave nodded.

"Yeah I know." He said, "It's pretty disturbing." Randi laughed loudly.

"Don't be a doofus." She said. "Do you want ten more kids?"

"No." He said running his hand through his hair, "I'll schedule an appointment....maybe."

"No maybe. You're doing this. It's much easier for you to get it done than me." Randi said. Dave nodded. He knew that.

"Come sit, get off you feet." He said. Randi smiled and eased herself down in a chair.

"Do men have baby showers?" Randi asked. Dave chuckled.

"What?" He asked. Randi smiled.

"I want to throw Misty a baby shower in a couple of week and I don't want Steve to come." Randi stated.

"She's due May 8th. You have time to throw her a shower, just focus on the twins right now." Randi rolled her eyes.

"You're no fun, David Riley." She muttered.

"I know, Miranda Christine, but you need to focus on your health." Dave said. "I am a doctor. I know what I'm talking about." Randi chuckled.

"So, no sex?" She asked.
"Now, sweetheart, I didn't say that now did I?" He asked.

"No, but you do realize you can't have sex for awhile when you have the vasectomy?" Randi asked with a playful look.

"Yeah, I know." He said taking her hand. "I will do this if it's what you truly want." Randi nodded.
"I don't think my body could handle another pregnancy." Randi said. Dave sighed.

"I know." He said softly. "We should head back to the house. I don't want the girls to burn it down."

"No patients?" She asked. Dave shook his head.

"Drew has one, but not me." He said.

"Then let's go." Randi smiled, "I think I need help getting out of the chair." Dave chuckled as he looked at his wife. What a poor woman. He took her hands and pulled her put of the chair.
"You look gorgeous swelling with our twins." He said.

"Swelling is right." She said as they walked hand in hand out of the clinic. Things were so exciting lately preparing for the expansion of their family. Gage and Jett were already so wanted. When they finally arrived in fourteen weeks, Randi and Dave knew the girl's wouldn't get enough of them.
