A few weeks later it was the twin's first birthday. Jason and Aria's mothers had helped decorate their large home. "It looks amazing mom!" Aria complimented Ella as she brought her a mug of coffee. "Thank you for this Jessica." she thanked Jason's mom too when she entered the living room.
"You're welcome. When's Jason coming home?" Jessica took the mug from Aria "Thank you."
"He should be back in about thirty minutes. Hopefully he's back before the kids wake up."
"If he's not we'll kick his butt." Ella smiled.
"Okay mom." Aria rolled her eyes at her mom's amusing comment.

Jason arrived home fifteen minutes earlier than expected. "Well this is a surprise." Aria told him as she greeted him at the front door with a kiss.
Jason kissed her back. "Well, I can't miss my kids first birthday." Jason kissed her again. "Where are they?" he asked as Aria removed her arms from around his neck.
"Still sleeping upstairs. Your mom and my mom are outside in the back garden."
"I'll go and say hello once I've taken these upstairs." Jason rushed up the stairs to put his workbooks and materials in his study/office.
Aria, Ella and Jessica were sitting in the garden drinking coffee and reminiscing about the first time Jason and Aria told them they had started dating. "Once you told us, we couldn't keep you two out of each other's bedrooms."
"Mom!" Aria laughed.
"She's telling the truth Aria.." Jessica teased.
All three of the women started to giggle. "What's so amusing?" Jason asked as he walked out to them and sat down next to Aria.
"My mom and your mom were talking about how we 'couldn't stay out of each other's rooms' when we first told them about us dating."
Jason smiled knowing that they were telling the truth. Whenever he wasn't at work and Aria wasn't at college, they'd be in each other's bedrooms and when their parents would call there would be no response from either.
"Uh oh." Jessica commented when she saw the smile on Jason's face. "Looks like we've brought back some memories for my dear son." Jason bit on his lip as he continued to smile. Just as he was about to reply, the baby monitor went off as Colton had started to cry out for his mama.
"Babe, help me. We may aswell bring Scarlett down too." Aria squeezed Jason's leg as she got up.

Wren, Spencer and Hanna came over an hour later with lots of presents for their Godchildren. Wren sat with Colton on his lap and Hanna had Scarlett on hers, while Spencer handed them both presents one at a time - helping them unwrap them too. Jason and Aria watched on the couch on the other side of the living room observing five of the most important people in their life. Jason wrapped his arms round Aria and pulled her closer into his side.
"Spencer looks happy." Jason commented kissing Aria's hair. Spencer's rehab was going well but she wasn't seeing results as quickly as she'd hoped to. Whenever she'd come round or Jason and Aria would go to see her with the kids, they would be a constant brightness in her eyes and smile. Aria nodded and smiled.
"Maybe we should go and visit her more often with Colton and Scar. They obviously make her happy. And even though she's getting better, she still needs some form of happiness to get her through the harder days."
"That sounds good. I know she'd appreciate it." Jason replied as Aria looked up at him. They sat cuddled up on the couch together until Colton started to make a fuss and reached out for Aria.
"Look what Nana Ella has got for her beautiful grandchildren!" Ella cooed as she approached Scarlett who was still on Hanna's lap. Scarlett bounced up and down on Hanna's lap clapping her tiny hands. Jason and Aria smiled. They definitely had the cutest baby girl. Ella handed Hanna a box to help Scarlett open before squatting in front of Jason and Aria to give Colton one of his presents. Colton was sitting inbetween Jason and Aria. He leaned forward to Ella and took the box. Struggling to move it closer Jason took it in his own hands and placed it on his lap, helping Colton rip off the paper. "Wow!" Aria commented as she kissed the top of Colton's head. "Look what Nana Ella got for you!" It was a LeapFrog spin and sing alphabet zoo ball.
"And there's a couple more for you sweetie!" Ella told Colton. She helped him open his Thomas the Tank Engine pop up book. And then helped him open his jewellery box. Inside was a silver bangle in there. Ella had brought the same for Scarlett too.
"This is pretty isn't it baby?" Aria asked Colton as he played with the bangle. "Give Nana a kiss."
Colton leaned forward slightly and let Ella kiss his forehead. Jason walked over to Hanna, Wren, Spencer and Scarlett. "Scar.." he squatted in front of Hanna who still had Scarlett on her lap. He kissed her forehead as she played with the cuddly toy puppy Ella has bought for her. "Did you like what your Nana Ella got for you?" Scarlett looked up and smiled, handing Jason the toy puppy. "Thank you." Jason took Scarlett from Hanna's lap. "Let's go and find your grandma huh.. Thanks for sitting with her guys." Jason thanked them as he walked away. Jason walked into the kitchen with Scarlett in his arms, his mom wasn't there so he decided to check the garden. She was sitting their crying silently.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Jason asked with concern in his eyes. Ever since Alison's death, she'd become very emotional.
"I'm happy honestly! It's so nice seeing you with your family. I just wish Alison was here.."
"I wish she was here too.." Jason sat next to his mom and wrapped an arm around her shoulder and she rested her head against his.
