Cassy POVUpon reaching home, the kids ran inside, calling out their grandparents.It has sort of become a habit ever since my parents came. They would wait for Caleb to get them off their seats. Then, they would wiggle out of their father's arms and run to the house where their grandparents patiently waited. 

 Cassy POVI watched my parents, and the happiness radiating on their faces was enough to put a smile on my face. “Now, we can eat,” Oakley interjected. Her declaration broke my embracing parents apart. “Sorry, my little darling!” Mom said awkwardly, chucking Oakley on the chin. Oakley giggled and ran to the dinner table with Joachim in tow. The elder Burkes followed them and helped them with their seats while Caleb and I looked on with smiles painted on our faces. Then, I nudged him. “Tell me, how did Dad manage to order the flower arrangement this fast?&rd

Cassy POVDays passed by quickly, and before we knew it, it was already the kids' birthday. “Shhh!” Caleb said when I giggled because, for the first time, it was us barging in on them, not the other way around. The kids were still sleeping soundly. Oakley slept with her arms spread wide. She had kicked off her blanket to the foot of her bed. On the other bed, Joachim slept on his side, facing the wall. “I could not believe they were four years old.” I gushed. Caleb walked to the bed holding the cake we ordered at Felicity&rsq

Cassy was surprised but did not remove my arms around her waist while we talked to my best friends. This alone made me shoot Greg a gloating look. If I didn’t need them for my proposal later, I wouldn’t have invited them, especially Greg, but they are the only people I could rely on.A crowd gathered around us, and my two best friends entertained them, allowing Cassy and I to extricate ourselves from the circle to welcome Adam and Cassy’s friends as they trickled in one by one. Martin Crest, Cole Higgs, and John Collins came in one after the other, bearing boxes of gifts for the twins. When Joach

When the children noticed what we were doing, they abandoned the toys scattered in the playpen to run toward us. “What’s happening?” Oakley asked.From the background, I could hear my mom tell her. “You and Joachim will have a baby brother or a sister soon.” “Oh!” Oakley sounded surprised.By this time, Caleb had already put me down, and I was watching the enraptured emotion on my little girl’s face. A grin worked its way to her face, making her more beautiful in my eyes. She took her brother’s hand excitedly. “We are going to have a baby! Yay! I am going to be a big sister!” Oakley and Joachim jumped at the news. They were clapping, and so were everyone around us. Even Rosalie Kingston Pierre looked at us with a wistful smile. Greg and James, Caleb’s friends, proposed a toast.“Congratulations on the baby!” They both shouted and tapped their glasses with spoons.It created tinkling sounds that gave off
