"Today's the big day.'' Kendall said to James, Now his knew husband. The brunette looked up, a gentle smile on his face.

"I can't believe just a year ago I was finally having our child.'' James squeaked with tears in his eyes. Kendall smiled and kissed James on the lips. He immediately melted into those soft lips.

"I better go get her ready. Can you start on the decorating?'' James asked, breaking the kiss.

"Yeah. Also who all is coming?'' Kendall questioned him

"Carlos, Logan, my mom and brother .'' James replied Kendall just nodded his head. With that being established James headed off to Rileigh's room.

His heart fluttered when he entered the colorful room. While the crib had remained white, her walls where a soft shade of pink and yellow and princess furniture surrounded the area; perfect for a young child of Rileigh's age. The tall brunette quickly made his way over the the child, who was standing in her crib, wanting her father to pick her up. He lifted her up and kissed her on the forehead. Rileigh cooed when she saw her daddy. James sat her on the changing table and pulled off her onesie, then slid a bright yellow dress over her body. Rileigh's hair had grown a lot since her birth and goldish-brownish curls wrapped gently around her face. Her brownish-green eyes started at her father, making small motor sounds with her mouth. James tickled Rileigh on the sides, earning a squeal of joy from the child.

Rileigh had developed so many skills in the last year. She could sit up by herself, eat food with her hands, and even stand on her own; still needing a little help with walking. But the one skill still missing was her ability to speak. She would babble and mumble, but no real words would escape her mouth. The doctor had said not to worry about it. That she was just progressing slower than other, but Kendall and James couldn't help it. They wanted to hear their little girl speak for the first time.

James was brought back to reality when he heard Rileigh mumble again.

"What? What'd you say baby?'' James said in a baby voice, not expecting to get an answer back. Rileigh looked back up at James and said it again.

"Dada.'' Rileigh cooed. James' jaw dropped to the floor. He was so shocked. His baby just said her first word.

"Kendall!'' James shouted, picking his jaw up from the floor. In a matter of seconds the blonde was up the stairs ready for anything.

"What? What's wrong?'' Kendall frantically asked. James shook his head and lead Kendall over to their daughter. ''Listen.'' He commanded.

"Dada.'' Rileigh repeated. James looked at Kendall and was not surprised to see the same look on his face that was just on his own a few minutes ago.

"Oh my gosh, she said her first word.'' Kendall picked James up and twirled him around, catching him on the lips. "She said Dada!'' Kendall cheered. He turned back to Rileigh again, ''Can you say papa?'' Kendall encouraged.

At first Rileigh just looked at him confusingly and then as if something clicked in her mind she mimicked Kendall's tone.

"Pa-pa?'' Rileigh replied, more of a question then an answer. Kendall was over the moon at this point.

"Yes that's right, Daddy and Papa.'' Kendall excitedly exclaimed. The blonde kissed Rileigh on the head then went back to decorating, cheering all the way down the hall. James finished dressing Rileigh and put a small yellow bow on the side of her head. Her small bangs fell into her face making her look like a perfect angel.

"I love you'' James said, picking the small baby up and heading downstairs.


"I think I just heard someone just pull up.'' James yelled to Kendall from the kitchen. Rileigh was happily playing with her toys in her walker, repeating her two new favorite words for everything. James was sanding near the stove fixing lunch for the small group when he heard the door creak open and a cheery voice down the hall way.

"Hello and Johnathan'' Kendall greeted warmly.

"Please Kendall, call me Brooke. Your my son-in-law now.'' Brooke smiled and hugged Kendall, before following him to the kitchen, Johnathan doing the same. James immediately embraced his mother, kissing her on the cheek.

"Hi mom, thanks for coming.'' James said Then turned to his brother, giving him a high-five and a bro hug.

"No problem. Now, where's my granddaughter. I haven't seen her since she was born.'' She stated. James pointed to the walker in the corner. Brooke quickly stepped foreword and picked up the small child.

"Well hello there, my you've gotten so big.'' Brooke cooed. "She's absolutely beautiful boys.'' She complemented.

"Thanks, we try our best.'' Kendall chuckled at James snarky reply.

James looked over to his younger brother. While yes he was younger than James, He was very built. People often thought Johnathan was older. He had the same colored hair as James, but his eyes where the color of ocean blue, just as his father. He had a very large chest and biceps, mostly from playing pro football. Unlike James, Johnathan couldn't keep a steady relationship. He was with another girl almost every week. James felt a little bad for his brother. He could tell Johnathan was upset that he couldn't keep a good girl. They usually just wanted the money, not his personality.

"So who's the girl this time?'' James teased

"Melody.'' Johnathan replied in all seriousness.

"Wow, nice name. What does she look like?'' James dropped the sarcasm in his voice.

"She has long curly brown hair, and brown eyes. She's really tall too.'' Johnathan explained.

"How long do you think she'll stay?'' James joked again.

"Forever.'' Johnathan replied, again with all seriousness.

"Whoa, how long have you two been dating?'' James questioned.

"5 months. She actually never ask me for money and she's always so happy. She's just so different. I want to marry her, she feels the same.'' Johnathan said.

"Have you asked her yet?'' James looked at him with excitement.

"No, I'm gonna purpose next weekend at her favorite garden, in downtown California.'' Jonathan pulled out a very expensive diamond ring, shining it in the light. Both Kendall and James congratulated him and cheering.

"Way to go little bro.'' James teased. Johnathan just smiled and put the ring back.

While Brooke continued to play with Rileigh the doorbell rang. Kendall went back to find his to best friends standing in the doorway.

"Hey guys come in.'' Kendall motioned them to step in. He hugged both of them and showed them to the kitchen.

"Hey Logan, Carlos.'' James greeted, hugging them then showing them to the living room, where Brooke sat watching over the baby. Both men waved to James' mother and Johnathan, and started to play with the toddler; well Carlos more than Logan. He couldn't bend down very fair with him being pregnant and everything.

"Lunch will be ready soon.'' James announced. Everyone simply mumbled a reply and continued on. Not even five minutes later James was setting the plate of food on the table.

"It's ready!'' He called to the living room. Everyone rushed in and sat down, Kendall was at the back carrying Rileigh in his arms. The small group all smiled when they heard Rileigh say her Daddy's or Papa's name. Brooke couldn't be more proud of them.

James took the small toddler and sat her down in her high chair while everyone else loaded their plates. Just as they wee about to dig in, there was a another ring from the doorbell. James gave Kendall a puzzled look. Everyone should be here by now? James thought. Kendall stood up and quickly answered the door.

"Mom! Katie!'' Kendall shouted, giving his mother and baby sister a hug. He soon lead them to the kitchen happily getting two more chairs and setting them near the table. James stood up and gave them both a hug.

"Well isn't this a nice surprise.'' James smiled wide, so glad that they had made it.

"Yeah, I thought you weren't going to make it.'' Kendall said.

"You don't actually think I would miss my first born grandchild's birthday, do you.'' Jennifer chuckled at her son's surprise.

"Well we're glad you're here.'' James piped up.


Rileigh starred at small present in-front of her. James realized that she might need some help getting started, so he grabbed a corner of wrapping paper and tore a piece off. Rileigh seemed confused at this until she got the idea and started tearing off the paper as well. She smiled when she held a small stuffed monkey in her hands.

"What is that Ribug?'' James asked in a baby voice.

"Papa!'' Rileigh shouted.

"Hey!'' Kendall pretended to be hurt, James smirked at his husband.

"No, he may seem like one sometimes, but he's not. Can you say monkey.'' James encouraged. Everyone laughed when Rileigh continued to call the small stuffed animal 'Papa'.

Next Logan handed a large bag to James and Kendall. ''Jeez did you go by the whole zoo.'' Kendall teased, looking up at the huge gift.

"Sort of.'' Logan replied. James hurriedly took out the paper and gasped when he saw the mat and clothes in the bag for their daughter. The mat was made of all different types of materials and had animals covering it. There was also two pairs of zebra pants and a shirt that said 'I'm wild for my dads' with a lion on the front.

"Thanks guys.'' James said, smiling at the gifts.

Finally Jennifer handed her gift over. It was a simple gift; a teddy bear that had all three names on it. Rileigh looked it up and down then gently held it to her chest. Everyone except for Jonathan cooed at the small child. The small family stood up and went to the kitchen, the group following right behind. James had the cake out and ready. Kendall lit the number one candle, than everyone sang the happy birthday to the giggling toddler. Kendall helped Rileigh blow out the candle.

James cut a small piece for Rileigh and sat it on the high chair. Rileigh just looked at it for a few minutes before lifting a small hand and snag a bite. She stuck her hand in her mouth and realized that she liked the sweet taste on he tong. She then ripped into the cake, creating a small mess on the high chair. Everyone else grabbed a piece, Logan and Carlos quickly at their piece then said good bye so they could get to their doctor appointment. Then Brooke and Johnathan were next, with a meeting with one of the coaches at the university. Finally it's was down to tow people' Jennifer and Katie.

"So, how have things been going?'' Jennifer asked the two boys.

"Great, She hardly ever cries an is good about taking naps.'' Kendall replied. James nodded as he sat down with Rileigh in his arms.

"Good, I'm so proud of you boys.'' Jennifer complimented the two.

"Yeah, I hope I'm as good at you two someday.'' Katie added

"Well we didn't know at first what the heck we were doing, but then we started noticing what made her upset or when she needed to be feed. There was always a difference in the two cries.'' James looked down and noticed Rileigh's eyes starting to droop.

"I think someone's ready for a nap.'' Jams sighed, ready to pass out himself.

"Thanks guys for everything. We should be getting back soon, our flight leaves in forty minutes.'' Kendall's mother said.

"Alright we love you.'' Kendall and James exchanged hugs with the two then headed up the stairs to put Rileigh to sleep. James quickly slid off the dress and placed the onesie around her body, buttoning the front.

"This couldn't have gone better.'' Kendall smiled down at the small toddler, who now lay asleep.

"Just think, soon she'll be asking for money, car rides, then getting a car, going to prom, graduating, getting...getting...''James stopped when he felt tears in his eyes.

"Hey, hey. Don't say that.'' Kendall swiped his thumb under James' eyes, wiping a tear away. ''What matters right now is that we have a nice home, good jobs, and a beautiful little girl.'' Kendall said, wrapping his arms around James' waist and pulled him against his body.

"I don't know about you, but I'm so tired.'' James looked around the small room and sighed.

"Me too, let's go take a nap.'' Kendall and James kissed Rileigh one more time before heading back to their room, falling into a dreamless slumber.
