Gracie's first birthday and birthday party
Andy woke up before anyone else this morning she was too excited for her daughters first birthday to sleep.
She kissed Sam softly on the lips and got up quietly and went downstairs.
She walked quietly downstairs and looked around the lounge room and grinned at all the presents for her daughter. They didn't go overboard, because she was only turning one, but she was really happy with that they had gotten her.
She went into the kitchen and put the kettle on and went to make coffee.
Sam woke up and grinned and shook his head.
He went and put some clothes on and went downstairs to see what Andy was doing and when he heard music playing softly, he shook his head.
He snuck into the kitchen and saw Andy in the middle of making something to eat.
He went up behind her and wrapped his hands around her waist.
Andy leaned in towards him and rested her head on his chest.
"Morning", he said kissing her neck.
Andy turned around and kissed him, which he groaned at and picked her up and put her on the counter.
Andy moaned as he kissed her mouth.
This made him groan.
"Come back to bed", he said while he was breathing heavily.
Andy shook her head and grinned at him at brought him closer to her wrapping her hands around his neck.
Sam was still breathing heavily.
He brushed his nose against hers and kissed her one more time.
"You know, I thought Gracie would be a bit more excited than you are", Sam said smirking at Andy and she hit his chest. Sam looked at her and laughed.
"My baby is turning one, shoot me if I'm excited", Andy said rolling her eyes at Sam who just smirked at her.
Sam helped her off the bench and helped her get breakfast cooked.
Daniel woke up and grabbed boo and slowly got off his bed.
He slowly walked down the stairs using the handrail.
He got to the bottom of the stairs and slowly walked into the kitchen, following Andy and Sam's voices.
Sam turned around and saw Daniel and smiled at him.
Sam bent down to his level and held his arm out.
Daniel came running over to Sam and Sam picked him up and held him close.
"Daddy back", Daniel said excited.
Sam closed his eyes and let out a breath.
"I'm back buddy daddy's here", Sam said his son rubbing his hands up and down his son's back.
Andy smiled softly at the sight in front of her. She knew Sam had felt guilty about leaving, but he did it to keep his family safe, and he did that.
Andy started putting breakfast on the plates when Gracie started to cry.
Sam put down Daniel and winked at his son before going up the stairs to see his daughter.
Gracie was standing up on the rails bopping her head up and down and Sam couldn't help but laugh and shake his head.
He went up to the cot and picked his daughter up and kissed her head softly.
"Happy birthday sweetie, daddy loves you", he whispered into her ear while hugging her tightly.
Gracie hugged Sam as tight as she could and Sam closed his eyes for a moment.
He went over to change her nappy and kissed her forehead softly
"Come on birthday girl, mummy is waiting for you", he whispered as he picked her up.
Sam went downstairs and put her in her high chair and put a bib on her.
Sam watched as Daniel jumped up and down waiting for pancakes.
Sam shook his head and sat next to his son.
Andy brought the food over and sat next to Gracie and kissed her head.
"Happy birthday sweetie", she said laughing when Gracie was touching her nose.
Sam cut up the pancakes for Daniel and grinned at his son's wide eyes while Sam cut them up.
Everyone ate and Andy cleaned up grace while Sam did the same to Daniel.
Andy put Gracie on the floor in the lounge room while Sam got her presents and put them near Gracie.
One by one they helped Gracie open her presents up.
She didn't get many presents as she was turning one, but she seemed to enjoy what she got.
Sam shook his head at his kids and started picking up the mess on the floor.
Andy was busy playing with the kids, so Sam did as much of the cleaning as he could.
When he was in the lounge kitchen, Daniel came running towards him.
Sam grinned and picked his son up and put him on the kitchen bench.
Daniel was really happy, kicking his legs up and down, and Sam just shook his head and kissed his son's forehead.
"Daddy, drink?" Daniel asked Sam.
Sam kissed his forehead again and went to get him a drink of juice.
"Here you go buddy", he said handing the drink over and kissing Daniel's forehead.
"Thank you daddy", Daniel said with a big smile and Sam just shook his head and put Daniel on the floor.
Gracie slowly made his way over to Sam, step by step slowly.
Sam smiled softly at his daughter and walked closer to her and bent down to her level.
"Come on sweetie, come here", he said softly as he put his arms out to her.
Step by step, Gracie made her way over to him, without falling down, and this made Sam smile.
He picked her up, and hugged her tightly.
"You are getting very clever", he said as he kissed her head and tickled her which made Gracie laugh.
"Mummy Park", Daniel said jumping up and down.
Sam shook his head and looked at the time.
"Sweetie you have to have a bath first", tired.
Daniel shook his head.
"NO BATH', Daniel said shaking his head.
Sam shook his head and bent down to his son, telling him to come over to him.
Daniel did slowly.
Sam picked him up and walked him upstairs to the bathroom.
He put Daniel down and motioned Daniel to come over to the bath with him and he did.
Sam put the plug in and started the water and got the bubbles and put them in the bath and started taking Daniels clothes and nappies off and put Daniel in the bath and straight away, he started kicking and playing with the toys and bubbles.
Sam smirked at his son and watched him play for a bit.
He turned around and saw Gracie in the hallway and watched her walking slowly around with Andy behind her.
Sam grinned and shook his head.
He went over to Andy and Gracie and bent down to Gracie's level.
"Come on sweetie, come to daddy", he said in proud voice.
Slowly, Gracie made her way over to him. Sam grinned and shook his head as she made her way slowly to him.
"You are so clever", he mumbled do her as he kissed her head.
"Daddy out time", Daniel said.
Sam turned around and saw Daniel trying to stand up but falling down because of the water.
Sam passed Gracie to Andy and went to get Daniel out of the bath.
Sam was going to pull the plug out of the bath, but he remembered that was the reason Daniel was scared.
He picked up Daniel and went to get him changed.
Andy took both the kids down stairs and Sam pulled the plug out of the bath and went and started to get ready.
When Sam went downstairs, Andy was holding Gracie and Daniel were running around crazy. Sam shook his head and went to pick up Daniel.
"Come on buddy time to go", he said laughing when Daniel started clapping his hands.
Sam and Andy grab some of the bags and put the kids in the truck and put the bags of food and toys in the back of the truck.
Sam looked over at the kids and smiled and turned around to look at Andy and winked at her.
When they got to the park, everyone from the division was already there.
Oliver and dove came over to help with the kids and bags.
Sam unbuckled Daniel's seat belt and put him on the floor and he ran straight over to Oliver and dov jumping up and down.
Dov shook his head and picked up Daniel.
"Hey little dude", Dov said tickling Daniel. Oliver looked at the two of them and shook his head and his eyes went wide when he saw Sam and Andy take both hands and helped Gracie walk slowly.
Oliver went closer to the m and bent down to Gracie's level and Sam and Andy let go of her hands.
"Come on come here sweetie", Oliver said to Gracie.
Slowly Gracie made her way over there and Oliver grinned and picked her up.
"Very clever you're so clever", Oliver said kissing Gracie.
The five of them made their way over to the rest of the group and dov put down Daniel and Daniel made his way over to Tommy lifting his hands up wanting to be picked up and Tommy laughed and shook his head and picked his grandson up.
Daniel played in the park with the other kids while Gracie kept making her way over to everyone taking slow steps.
Sam and Andy were sitting down together, ands head on Sam's chest while he was rubbing his hand back and forth on her back watching Daniel on the playground.
Leo brought Daniel over to the adults when Daniel was getting sleepy.
Andy sat up and smiled and put out her arms and Daniel ran over towards her rubbing his eyes.
Sam got up and got boo out of the bag and handed it to his son and Daniel got comfy in Andy's lap.
Sam noticed Gracie crawling over to him and he smiled and walked over to her and picked her up and put her in his lap and rubbed his hands up and down her back.
Oliver looked at the time and smiled.
"Okay I think its cake time before these two falls asleep", Oliver grinned and Sam smirked at his friend and shook his head.
Everyone got up and Sam and Andy got up with their kids and walked over to where the cake was.
Sam and Andy sat next to each other with the kids and Andy helped Gracie blow out her candles and everyone had some cake.
It was 2 pm and Daniel and Gracie were both asleep.
Sam put Gracie in the truck and Andy did the same thing with Gracie while everyone helped bring their things to the truck and helped put them in the truck.
Everyone was going over to their house tonight for dinner, so everyone said goodbye and left.
Sam and Andy and the kids got home at 2:30 pm and they put the kids in the lounge room on their pull out couches and let them sleep for a bit longer.
Andy stayed with the kids while Sam brought everything in.
She put the TV on and let the kids sleep for a bit longer and soon Andy was asleep.
Daniel woke up about ten minutes after Andy fell asleep and Sam got up and moved towards his son.
Daniel rubbed his eyes and saw Sam and smiled and ran towards his dad.
Sam picked him up and carried him into the kitchen bench and kissed his sons forehead and got him a drink.
"Daddy, drink", Daniel said with wide eyes.
Sam rolled his eyes and gave Daniel the cup of juice.
"Thank you daddy", Daniel said to his dad and Sam raffled his son's hair.
He heard Gracie starting to cry, so he put Daniel back down off the bench and he went to check on his daughter.
Gracie was standing up slowly and looking around.
Sam got closer to her and she saw Sam and started to cry.
"Come on sweetie, come to daddy", he said holding his arms out t to her.
Gracie slowly made her way over to Sam step by step.
Sam picked her up and hugged her tightly.
"Its okay daddy's here", he said kissing her head.
"Dada", Gracie said hugging Sam.
Sam closed his eyes and hugged her tightly.
"Daddy's here, I'm here", he said to his daughter.
Andy woke up and looked around and smiled at the sight in front of her.
She walked up to Daniel and picked him up and kissed him on his head.
She walked up to Sam and Gracie and kissed Gracie and kissed Sam on the cheek.
"Mama", Gracie said holding her arms out to Andy.
Andy grinned and took Gracie off Sam.
Sam shook his head and looked at the time.
It was now 3pm and he knew the kids will be hungry soon.
He went into the kitchen and started making sandwiches for the kids.
Daniel came up and jumped up and down.
"Jam daddy jam", he said excitedly. Sam rolled his eyes and picked up Daniel and put him on the bench and Daniel looked at Sam making sandwiches for the kids.
Andy put Gracie in her high chair and Sam brought Daniel to the table with the sandwiches and drinks for the kids.
It was 8 pm and the BBQ was finished and everyone was heading home.
Sam had just bathed Daniel again and Andy was putting Gracie into bed.
The kids were both asleep and Sam and Andy were enjoying a drink together, which really didn't happen that often anymore.

Andy just got out of the shower when and Sam was laying in bed reading.
She got into bed and hugged him tight and he hugged her back.
"I love you", she said softly.
Sam kissed her softly.
"I love you too", he whispered back to her.
