It was Sofia's 3rd birthday Callie and Julia Canner are setting up Sofia's party under the brand new covered picnic area that has picnic tables and a grill under it at Madison Park, Callie is trying to hold down a pink table cloth while trying to grab a brick to hold it down to the table.
"Oh Sweetie, here let me help you with that." Julia says
"Thank you." Callie smiles and looks over to where Jake and Addison are playing with Henry and Sofia over on the swings and smiles.
"I can't believe she's three today."
"I know but, I'm just a little sad that Mark couldn't be here celebrating with us today."
"He's here, he's always here. He's watching her turn three and smiling from up there." Julia tells her knowing that she is just as religious as Callie is
"Yeah, I hope so." Callie says
"So what time is Arizona getting here?"
Callie checks Marks big watch that she loves and sighs "She and her girlfriend should be here when the party starts."
"Oh, You okay?"
"Yeah, it's just been a while since I have really seen her but Sofia has so."
"It's going to be alright, okay?"
"I know, I know, she's still Arizona, and I still love her, and she's still Sofia's mother."
"Yeah she is." Julia smiles understanding and respecting that Callie still shares Sofia with Arizona
"Okay, well I should probably get the grill started?"
Just smiles "Yeah maybe you should ask Jake to help you out with it?"
"I think I know how to do it but I will if I can't get it started."
"Okay."
"Okay." Callie smiles
"Oh hey so could you keep an eye on Sofia and make sure she doesn't run to close to the street. I know she is going to get excited once Arizona gets here and will run over to her."
"I'm on it."
"Thanks Babe." Callie kisses her and goes to get the grill started but walks past the cooler first where all the drinks are keeping cold and opens it "Julia!"
"Yeah?"
"Here catch, will you take some juice over to Sof and Henry they might be getting thirsty from all that running around."
"Sure thing!" She catches 2 juice boxes throw to her and smiles and takes them over to the kids
Over at the swings
"Whose thirsty?!" Julia asks
Sofia and Henry both say they are and jump off the swings to grab the juice boxes from Julia.
"Fank you!" Sofia says
"What do you say Henry?" Addison asks him
"Fank You Miss Julia!"
"You are very welcome Henry!"
"How's Callie doing, does she need any help?" Addison asks Julia and looks at Jake giving him his cue
"Okay I think I'm going to go over to help her now." Jake says
"Yeah." Addison nods
Jake walks away to go and help Callie.
