Chapter 1
Adrian woke up early on Mercy's 10th birthday next to her husband Ben. They had been married 10 years and had 4 kids now. Mercy would be 10 today and they had twin 5 year olds Carla and Carmen and 3 year old Alejandro. Adrian snuggled into Bens shoulder as she thought about the last 10 years since she gave birth to their daughter. She and Ben had finished high school and college and she went on to law school. Ben had gone to work for his dad at boykewich international after graduating from college with a degree in business management. Adrian now worked as a lawyer in a law office downtown. They had the twins during Adrian's first year of law school and than their son was born just a few years later right after she started working as a lawyer.
Adrian heard Ben groan as she looked up at him and saw that he was awake. Ben looked down at her, "morning baby."
Adrian set up from where she was laying against his shoulder, "I can't believe today is mercy's 10th birthday."
Ben sat up as well, "they grow up to fast."
They both go up and started getting dressed as they heard banging on the door. Adrian was finished dressing she opened the door to their 3 youngest kids bouncing pratically up and down. Carla who was the more hyper of their twins jumped onto their bed, "momma daddy its sissy's birthday."
Adrian laughed, "yes but lets not wake her remember our plan."
Carmen joined his twin, "we're going to make sissy's favorite breakfast before abuela and abuelo come over."
Ben grabbed the twins in his arms, "and preferabbly not wake sissy up cause this is suppoed to be a surprise."
Adrian picked up Alejandro from the floor in front of the door, "so shh lets go get some clothes on since none of you bothered to get dressed this morning and than go make breakfast."
Ben and Adrian had bought a house when he recieved the first part of his trustfund when he graduated from university. It was a 5 bedroom house not far from his parents home it wasnt overly big but his first trustfund amount was large enough to pay for the house in full so they didn't have to worry about a house payment. Adrian carried alejandro with the twins following them into the twins bedroom. They still shared a bedroom cause of how close they were but Ben was sure as they get older they be ready to have their own rooms.
After dressing the kids for the day everyone headed downstairs to the kitchen. It was a Sunday so their housekeeper/cook was off today. Ben was a great cook so he got the ingredients out for french toast and sausage that he set up Carla helping him mixing the french toast dipping mix. Adrian got Carmen and Alejandro to help her make a birthday sign to hang up in the kitchen. Her mom and dad was coming to eat breakfast with them and than they were having a birthday party later this afternoon with Mercy's friends.
Soon they finished breakfast and Adrian let the twins run upstairs to wake their sister. Alejandro helped her set the table for breakfast while Ben brought the food to the table. The doorbell rang a few seconds later. Adrian went to the living room to let her parents in. Rueben and Cindy were there for breakfast they came over often for meals with them. Ben's dad and Betty had 3 kids together so they weren't around as much but they would be there that afternoon for the party.
Mercy and the twins came down the stairs excited for breakfast. Mercy was tall for her age and looked alot like Adrian with Ben's lighter brown eyes. She hugged her grandparents as they all sat down for breakfast.
A/n: rewatching the series on hulu i decided to write a sequel to my first secret life fanfic. in the story mercy lived i always thought it was horrible they killed off the baby.
