Nancy and Frank walked in the side door of Anna and Joe's house. She laughed as she saw Joe in a floral apron. "Real cute, Joe," Frank said between fits of laughter. Joe turned and gave him a half smile, "hey now, this is what real men wear."

Anna stopped what she was doing at the countertop and smiled at them both and hugging them. "Yay, you are here. I have missed you."

"We have only been gone a couple of days," Joe said rolling his eyes. Frank hit Joe's arm, "food ready yet?"

Anna spoke up quickly, "it will be a little while, go to the study and do your business talk I know you are dying to do. Nan, can keep me company." Joe quickly threw the apron on the countertop and the guys retreated to the study. Nancy laughed and turned to Kendall that was sitting in her highchair by the kitchen table. "Look how big you are getting." Kendall keep ding the kiss face at her Aunt as Nancy smothered her in kisses. Anna popped the roast she was cooking into the oven and turned to Nancy smiling, "how are you feeling?" Anna sat down across from Nancy at the table handing Kendall her sippy cup.

"So ready to give birth."

"I wish I could say I knew it what it felt like towards the end, but this little girl was just too impatient."

Nancy laughed, "Consider that a blessing."

"Maybe, I will know next time around."

"Next time? You aren't now are you?"

"No, not yet." Anna quickly held up her hand as Nancy was about to say something, "no we aren't trying. I would like to wait a while."

"Understandable, we could just alternate every other year." Both girls started laughing, once they calmed down a bit Nancy spoke, "I have some info on your brother, I can email it to you Monday."

Anna nodded and bit her bottom lip, "let's take a weekend off from all of it." Nancy nodded in agreement.

It was Saturday and Anna was running around trying to get the house finished with birthday décor. Joe walked into the backyard. Luckily it was warm although it was the last day of August. Kendall's birthday was September 9th but Nancy was due on the 12th. Anna had did an outstanding job there was round tables set up in the backyard each one had a different shade of pink tablecloth. In the center of the tables were white hydrangea centerpieces with fabric metal butterflies and ladybugs. There were streamers of different shades of pink hanging on the trees, along with flower, ladybug, and pink balloons scattered about. Joe sighed as he watched her boss the catering people to a long table setup.

"It's only our family and a few friends, isn't this overboard." Joe hugged his wife behind as the baker placed a two tier cake that was covered in butterflies, flowers, and ladybugs on the round table with finger garden themed food on either side. He had to hand it to his wife she did stick with her theme. Anna turned and kissed Joe, "I want it to be perfect. The photographer should be here in a bit to try to get some photos before the party. Could you go dress Kendall?"

Joe sighed, "A photographer, why?"

"I don't want anyone to have to worry about taking photos, besides they will be picture perfect. Now it's a cute little pink tutu dress on her changing table." She pushed Joe towards the door and he gave her a quick peck then he ducked into the house.

"Sweetie, this looks amazing." Anna turned and smiled at Laura and Fenton hugging them both. "Thanks, I want it to be perfect."

"It does. So, where do the presents go?" Laura asked Anna pointing to Fenton who was juggling at least ten presents. Anna pointed to a table and placed them down and looked around, "it does look great. I will be back."

"Where are you going?"

"Oh more presents in the car." Fenton replied while he headed back to their car. Laura started looking around taking everything in, "Beautiful, what can I do to help?"

"Oh nothing, just relax Laura. Go get a glass of lemonade or tea. I think it's long overdue for all of us."

"I don't want to enjoy this peace too much that's when something usually starts happening."

Anna smiled, she would laugh but she knew it to be too true and it had worried her that nothing was happening. Laura went to get something to drink. "You need to relax yourself." A deep male voice said from behind, Anna jumped and turned. "Biff you scared me." She said while placing her hand over her chest.

"Sorry, you do need to relax. I told you I will keep you safe."

Anna was having a hard time adjusting and she seconded guess everyone new that came into their lives. She was paranoid and anyone around them she wanted background checks. Biff managed to keep an eye on them and work with Fenton on the security branch. Anna was so thankful that he and George was still living in the garage apartment. She could sleep better at night. Joe and Biff had managed to help Anna some with this issue some but she still needed a lot of help.

"I know, Biff."

Biff placed his hand on her shoulder, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"You are supposed to be off duty." Anna gave him a slight wink. Biff never considered himself off duty. "You and George relax and mingle." He nodded and quickly returned back to George's side. Joe came out with Kendall who was dressed in pink. Everyone thought she was adorable; the photographer took some photos before everyone else arrived.

Nancy was holding her niece the party was in full swing. Frank quickly stepped beside her, "Nan, let me hold her. You should be resting." Nancy rolled her eyes at him and Kendall retch for her Uncle all while giving the kiss face. Frank pushed her curly hair behind her ear it was getting closer to a strawberry dirty blonde more than anything. "My sweet little niece got showered in too many presents. So many toys, guess I will have to spend more time playing with you." Kendall giggled as Frank tickled her.

Nancy smiled at the two while rubbing her stomach, "you will make a wonderful father." Frank gave her a true Hardy grin and placed a kiss on her lips as the photographers quickly snap a photo. Anna smiled as she saw the moment captured; she would definitely have to frame it for them. Anna smiled as everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves it was a perfect day. "Cake time, everyone," she announced and Frank handed Kendall off to Joe.

Anna lit the 1 shaped candle, even it was pink and sparkly, Joe held Kendall up who started sticking her fingers in the cake. Everyone started singing Happy Birthday and Joe helped Kendall blew out the candle. Then Kendall took two fistfuls of cake and everyone laughed.

Reviews please, a little fluff before we get into all the suspense :)
