Tomorrow was Joey's birthday and they were determined to make it a special one. Ever since the girls had been born, Joey had to sit back and watch. He was starting to feel left out.
"I have the bowling alley reserved." Alex said.
"Good." Jimmy snapped Julia's romper up. "Kim is picking up the balloons."
"And the cake?" Alex asked.
"I'll get it." Jimmy said. Alex nodded as she marked that off on her list. "Just stop and take a deep breath." Alex smiled.
"I just want tomorrow to go perfectly." She told him.
"And what if it doesn't go well?" He asked.
"I will freak out." Alex smiled, "It's his fourteenth birthday. It's important."
"No. His sixteenth birthday will be." Jimmy grinned at the thought of his.
"He's old enough to get his driver's permit." Alex said.
"Scary isn't it?" Jimmy asked sinking into the living room couch. "My boy will be old enough to drive." He couldn't believe it.
"One of us will need to teach him." Alex said.
"That's Kim's job." Jimmy said as Aidan walked into the kitchen.
"Julia threw up on herself." He said.
"Are you sure it was Julia?" Alex smirked getting a towel from beneath the sink. Aidan stared at her.
"No." He said. Alex smiled softly.
"Okay. I'll get her, Son." Alex walked into the living room where the twins were rocking in their swings. "Mommy's here, baby girl." Alex knelt down and wiped off Julia's chin.
"Can I get Joey a birthday present?" Aidan asked. Alex smiled looking at him.
"Sure. Do you want do go pick out a present?" She asked. Aidan nodded.
"Please." He said.
Alex pushed the cart down the aisle. Julia and Amelia were tucked in their car seats in the cart. Aidan was sitting in the seat staring at all the toys.
"What do you want to get him?" Alex asked.
"I dunno." Aidan said, "Look at the games."
"Maybe there'll be a new game for his xbox." Alex pushed the cart to the video game section. Julia and Amelia both began to fuss. Alex took Aidan out of the cart, "Find a game."
"Okay." Aidan grinned brightly. Alex leaned over and put pacifiers into the twins' mouth. She watched Aidan concentrate as he picked out a game, "How 'bout this one?" Alex nodded.
"That looks good." She said, "Let's go buy it." Aidan ran to the cashier.
"I wanna buy this for my brudda." He said putting it on the counter.
"Oh yeah? Well, does mommy have money for it?" She asked. Aidan nodded.
"Momma has tons of money." He said. Alex laughed.
"I wish." She said pulling gout her credit card.
"These are my sisters." Aidan said pointing to the twins, "That's Julia. That's Amelia. They're twins."
"Oh wow." The cashier chuckled, "I have twins, but they're boys." She rang up the video game, "Fifty-five seventy-five."
"What's their names?" Aidan asked.
"Michael and Maxwell." She said sliding Alex's card through. Aidan's face brightened up.
"My midda name is Maxwell." he said. "But my first is Aidan."
"That's beautiful." She winked handing Alex the bag. "Have a wonderful day."
"I will thanks." Alex chuckled, taking Aidan's hand and pushing the cart at the same time. Aidan was going to be a tough one to handle when he was sixteen. he was already a big flirter. They were doomed.

Kim stood in front of the mirror at the station. She was so tired. Alex walked up behind her with a smirk.
"I know that look." She said. Kim looked at her with a chuckle.
"What look?" Kim asked.
"Oooh, the my period is late am I look." Alex said, "Your husband picking you up?" Kim nodded. She was chuckling.
"you're too good you know that?" She asked.
"I've had enough scares to know about it." Alex winked as Manuel walked up the stairs. "Hey there."
"Hello, Alexandra." he said looking at Kim, "Ready to go?"
"Of course." She said casting a glance at Alex.
"you two have fun." Alex said, "Kim, give me a call later." Kim nodded.
"I sure will." She said taking Manuel's hand. They walked downstairs.
"How was your day at work, Chica?" Manuel asked.
"It was just fine." Kim said with a smirk, "but I need to stop by the drug store before we go home okay?" Manuel nodded.
"All right." He said.
Kim rushed into the bathroom as soon as she and Manuel got home. Maybe Alex was right. Kim had a large grin on her face as she took out the pregnancy test she recently bought.
"This is it." Kim whispered as she sat on the toilet.
"Want something to eat?" Manuel asked.
"Ah, sure." Kim said. She peed on her stick and took in a deep breath. She had lost a pregnancy before, so if she was, she'd be so nervous, but she was ready to be a mother again.
"How does chicken sound?" He asked.
"Just fine, Manny." Kim said sitting there waiting to look at the stick. She hated these things. She always felt terrified.
"Rice too?" He asked.
"Si si, Manuel." Kim said. She heard him chuckle.
"Mi esposa es muy loca." he said.
"No I'm not." Her eyes drifted over to the pregnancy test. her heart stopped when she saw the two pink lines, "Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god." Kim stood up. She was pregnant.
"Are you okay, chica?" Manuel asked.
"Oh my god!" Kim squealed running out of the bathroom. Manuel stared at her.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Manny, I'm pregnant!" She said. His eyes grew large.
"What?" he whispered.
"We're having a baby." Kim said. Manuel stumbled slightly.
"un bebe? Oh...oh..." Manuel ran his hand over his blonde hair. "Kim!" He scooped her up in his arms and hugged her tightly.
"We're having a baby!!" She began to cry. This time would be different. She was married to a wonderful man. They were in love. A baby would fit perfectly in her life now.
