Luka hung a Happy Birthday banner across the archway of the living room. Balloons were scattered around the room and A Blue's Clues table cloth was drapped over the kitchen table. Abby finished picking up a few of the toys and placed them in the toy box. Addy stood by the window waiting for the guests to come. "I'm going to check on the girls. Addy come with me I'll finish doing your hair." Abby said from the bottom step. Addy ran over to the stairs and followed Abby up. "Lili's downstairs with Joe. Ava's still sleeping." Luka stood in the doorway dressed in a dress shirt and slacks. "We'll be down in a minute." Abby said holding Addy's hair in her hands. Abby finished braiding her hair. The doorbell rang and Addy started to run away. "Wait, I need to put an elastic in." "Hurry Mommy." "I'm almost done." Abby finished putting the elastic in. "Okay, you can go." Addy ran down the stairs. Susan and Chuck were standing talking with Luka. Cosmo and his sister, Chelsea were sitting on the floor with Lili and Joe. "Hi Auntie Susan, Hi Uncle Chuck." Addy said as she ran past them over to the rug. "Hi, sweetie." "You can put your stuff down in our room." Luka said leading them down the hall. Abby came down a few minutes later with Ava. "Here's the other birthday girl." Luka smiled and took Ava from Abby. Neela knocked on the door and let herself in. She had tow big boxes in her arms. Luka walked over and helped her with them. "Thanks." "Abby and Susan are in the kitchen." Neela walked past him into the kitchen. "Hey, Neela." Susan smiled. "Hi." "Did you want a drink?" "Um..sure. Thanks." Abby walked outside onto the deck and grabbed a beer out of the cooler.
Luka placed a plate down in front of Lili and Ava on the plastic kiddie table. "I want a hot dog." Addy said as Luka walked past her. "Your's is coming." "Joe, sweetie. You're supposed to eat your food not play with it." Abby said wiping his hand with a napkin. Luka put a hot dog and some chips on a plate and gave it to Addy. "Thank you daddy." "You're welcome sweetie." After everyone finished eating Abby with Susan and Neela got dessert ready. Abby pulled out the first icecream cake from the freezer and placed it on the counter. Susan started to stick the candles in it. "It's hard as a rock." "Maybe we should let them melt a little." Abby placed the second cake next to it. "There's some cookies and brownies in the dining room." "I'll get them." Neela walked out of the room and came back carrying a tray of cookies and brownies. "You can bring them right outside." A few minutes later after the cakes had melted a little Abby and Susan stuck the candles in the cakes and lit them. Neela held open the sliding door and they walked outside and placed them down infront of the girls. Everyone started to sing Happy Birthday off key. "Happy Birthday too you." They held out the last note and Luka and Abby helped the girls blow out the candles.

"Sweetie you're supposed to eat the cake not stick your fingers in it." Abby said grabbing a wet paper towel and wiping off Ava's hand. She pulled her out of the high chair and brushed her off with the wet paper towel and then handed her to Luka. She pulled the tray off Lili's highchair and unbuckled her. "I'll take her." Neela said walking up behind Abby. "Thanks." Abby said handing her to Neela. She finished cleaning off the highchairs and placed them off to the side so they were out of the way. Abby grabbed a beer out of the cooler and walked over to Luka, Susan, and Chuck. "Great party, Abby." Chuck smiled. "Thanks." Abby said taking a sip of her beer. When all the guests had gone and they kids were in bed, Luka and Abby cleaned up the mess from the party. Luka reached over and grabbed some empty cups that were left on the picnic table and tossed them into the garbage bag he was holding. Abby walked over carrying some napkins and some empty plates and tossed them into the bag. "I think the party was a success." Luka smiled as Abby walked over to him. "Yeah I think so too." "I still can't believe that the girls are already a year old." "I know, time goes by way to fast." She wrapped her arms around him and they shared a kiss. "Come on let's go inside." "Don't foreget the highchairs." Luka grabbed the one closest to the door and brought it inside. Abby followed behind him with the other one. "I'm gonna go check on the kids." "I'll go with you." Luka grabbed her hand and they walked upstairs. Abby pushed the door open to Addy's room and walked inside. Luka stood by the door watching her. She walked over to the bed and pulled the covers up over her and gave her a kiss on the side of the head. "Good night, baby. I love you." Abby whispered before walking over to Luka. She pulled the door open and they walked down the hall to Joe's room. Abby stood by his crib watching him sleep. She picked up the pacifier that had fallen out of his mouth and placed it on the changing table. She brushed the hair from his face with a smile. She turned off the Ocean Wonders Aquarium that was hanging on the side of the crib. Luka walked up behind her and wrapped his arm around her waist. "I love you." "I love you too." She rested her head on his chest. "Let's go check on the girls." He said after a minute. He took her by the hand and led her out of the room. Luka pushed open the door and Ava stood up in her crib. One of the legs of her pants was rolled up and her hair was messy. Her tiny hands clung to the side of the crib. "Hey, what are you doing up?" Abby walked over to the crib. "You should be sleeping like your brother and sisters." Abby picked her up and laid her back down. "Good night, baby. I love you." "Happy Birthday." Luka said walking over to them. "See you in the morning." They went to leave and Ava stood back up in her crib and started to cry. Abby hesitated about turning around and walking over to her. She looked over at Luka. "Maybe you should get her so she doesn't wake up Lili." Abby walked over and picked her up out of the crib. Ava continued to cry. "It's okay sweetie." Abby said rocking her as she walked. Abby placed her head on Ava's. "I think she's warm." Abby said carrying her out of the room. Luka closed the door over and followed her downstairs. "Let me see." Luka put his hand on the back of her head. "She does feel a little warm." "I'm gonna go grab the thermometer." Abby said handing her to Luka. Luka sat down on the couch with her trying to calm her down. Abby came back carry a baby thermometer and baby tylenol in her hand. She stuck it in Ava's ear and Ava squirmed and tried to pull it out. Luka held her arms gently while Abby finished taking her temperature. "100.4." "She's got a slight fever." Abby poured a pill into her hand and placed it in Ava's mouth. Ava made a face and cried harder.
Two hours later Luka and Abby were still trying to get Ava to stop crying. Along with the crying came the coughing. "Do you think it's her teeth?" Abby asked adjusting Ava in her arms. She was pacing back and forth in the living room rocking her gently. "Maybe." "The tylenol should have kicked in by now." Beads of sweat started to form on Ava's forehead. "Luka grab the thermometor." Luka did what he was told and came back with the thermometer. He stuck it in Ava's ear and waited for the peep. He looked down at the digital numbers. "101.2." "She's getting worse." "She sounds like she's congested. What if we put on the shower and see if the steem helps." Abby carried her into their bedroom and placed her on the bed. She pulled off her pants and shirt leaving her in just a diaper. Luka started up the shower and turned it up as hot as possible. Steam started to form in the bathroom. Abby took a seat on the toilet and Luka closed the door over.
