I watch as Charlie places her on her high chair as everyone cheers

"okay baby smile for mommy" Charlie says pointing at me

I watch as she giggle and stares at the candle in front of her.

Her emerald green eyes shine brighter with the light reflecting on them. The smile on her faces as she watches everyone clap and sing. Charlie stand close to her showing her how to blow out the candle.

I watch in awe as the candle is blown out and she begins to giggle and clap. I carried her for 9 mouths and now she was turning one.

My eyes flutter open as a smile forms on my face. Today's Hope's birthday I couldn't believe it's been 6 years since I give birth to her. I turn to see face Charlie as he smiles at me

"How long have you been awake?" I ask rubbing my eyes

"Not long, I thought Hope would be awake by now" he says smiling

I was about to speak when we hear little footsteps running to our room. Me and Charlie smile big as we cover our self with the blanket

"Looks like she heard you" I say laughing

"Shhh. Let's act like we're asleep and forgot okay" he says laughing

We soon hear our door open and I bite my lip trying not to speak.

"WAKE UP! MOMMY! DADDY!" Hope says as she jumps on our bed shaking us

I see Charlie trying hard not to laugh as he motions for me to be quiet.

"DADDY! MOMMY!" Hope yells jump harder on the bed

I watch as Charlie takes a breath as he a takes the cover off of us.

"Okay okay we're awake" Charlie says smiling

"Good morning baby how are you" I say sitting up

Hope sits staring at us with a big smile on her face as she opens her arms "okay I'm ready!"

"What are you talking about sweetie" I ask trying to hide my smile

Hope frowns as she looks at both of us "you forgot?"

"Forget what baby?" Charlie says looking at hope

Hope crosses her arms and she pouts "I don't like today!"

"Oh but Hope you should love today! Isn't it your birthday!" Charlie says as he grabs her and starts to tickle her

"You didn't forget" Hope says giggling as she hugs us both

"I will never forget baby! Now it's time to start getting ready!" I say as I get out of bed

"Yyyyyyaaaaaaayyyyyyy!" Hope yells causing me and Charlie to laugh

"That never gets old" he says getting out of bed

-/-at the party-/

I stand looking at Hope running around in her Belle dress. Uncle Eric's backyard was decorated with Belle and all the characters from the movie as well as a bouncy house. I giggle as I watch Uncle Eric play with the kids. My parents talking to Uncle Shawn and Katy watching the children play. I smile as I see all the happiness around me.

I soon feel arms wrap around my waist.
"Look at our daughter. She's beautiful just like her mother" Charlie says as he places a kiss on my head

I lean back on him as I close my eyes "thank you Charlie, for everything."

"No Riley, thank you for letting me be a part of her life. Seeing her grow is amazing. She's not so little anymore" he says holding me tightly

"Awww would you look at the love birds!" I hear Maya say

I get out of Charlie's embrace as I turn to see her "glad you can make it!" I say smiling

She acts shocked "how could her godmother not be here for her birthday. Gosh riles" she says smiling

"Yea! Her godfather isn't going to miss this either" Farkle comes wrapping his arm around Maya.

"Thanks again for coming! You guys, can set the presents on the table" I say pointing to the table outside

Charlie phone starts to ring "hey man!" Oh yea I'll go right now" he says hanging up

"Who was that?" I ask

"That was my friend. Remember the one I was telling you about" he says

"Oh the famous Luke, Hope's always talking about him" I ask laughing

"Yup! That's him I'm going to go bring him in so you can met him." He say walking away before I stop him

"Hey take Hope with you. So she can thank him for coming" I say as I call Hope over

"Baby Uncle Luke is here. Go with daddy to say hi" I say as I fix her crown

"Okay mommy!" Hope says as she runs to take Charlie's hand

"Hey, what's all the excitement about" Maya says coming in

"Hope's favorite uncle is here." I say laughing

"Excuse me! I'm her favorite uncle Riley" Farkle says

"MOMMY! Come meet Uncle Luke!" Hope yells

"It's time to meet the famous uncle. Come on guys" I say as I make my way to the entrance as Maya and Farkle follow
