The girls were nearing two months old and Jessica still wasn't home yet. She was really close; she was off the breathing tube and feeding tube, out of the incubator, and she was jaundice free. They just wanted to keep her in for a few days to make sure she was okay to come home. My phone rang as I was burping Lauren and the boys were eating breakfast and Zayn was shaving. 

"Hello?" I answered it. 

"Cat? Guess who gets to come home today!" My doctor smiled and I gasped.  

"No way!" I gasped. I thanked her and hung up. 

"Zayn!" I put Lauren in her swing and ran upstairs. He had just finished shaving and I hugged him. 

"Woah, what's up?" He hugged me back. 

"She can come home today!" I squeezed him tight. He kissed me and I ended up getting pushed back to the wall. We were borderline making out when I pulled away. 

"We are continuing this tonight. Today is the day we can finally have sex again and you can bet your ass it is going to happen." I kissed him and he smiled. He pecked my lips and grabbed my hand. 

"Boys, get your shoes and coats on!" Zayn yelled down. 

"Why?" Ty yelled up. 

"We're going down to the hospital! Jess is coming home today!" I told him. Zayn and I went to our room and got dressed real quick. We ran down and saw our boys with coats on. Ty had his shoes on and was tying Jason's for him. They were about two years apart but they really were best friends. 

"We're doing okay as parents." I smiled and kissed Zayn. 

"Can you believe we've been together 9 years?" He hugged me and I smiled. We smiled into a kiss and I hugged him tight. 

"I love you so much." I whispered. 

"I love you too." He held me. We stood there for a minute and he rubbed my back. He patted my butt a little and spoke up. 

"Okay, love. Let's go pick up our daughter." He smiled a bit.

That night Zayn and I went to bed around 10 when we knew for sure all of the kids were asleep. Since the babies were a bit older they could sleep a lot longer without waking up. 

"Get your sexy ass over here." I laughed a bit and pulled Zayn over to me. I kissed him hard and he smiled a little. 

"I love that you hate going that long without sex too." He chuckled between kisses. 

"You and I nearly had sex the day after we started dating. Ever since we started having sex we haven't gone more than like 4 days except when you're on tour and after we have kids." I laughed. 

"Six weeks is practically torture, especially since we sleep in our underwear so I see you looking amazing but I can't do anything." Zayn laughed. 

"You're telling me." I chuckled and he kissed me. 

"I know we haven't had sex in a while but I want this to be romantic still." He rested his forehead on mine. 

"You're amazing." I pecked his lips. I kissed him and he picked me up so I had my legs around his waist. 

"Jesus, I forget how strong you are." I moaned a bit. He laughed into the kiss a little and carried me over to our bed. 

*July 14th, 2023*

It was my 30th birthday and Lauren and I were having a girls' day out without husbands or kids. We had an amazing time and headed back to my house. I unlocked the door and as I walked in I was shocked. 

"Surprise! Happy birthday!" Everyone yelled. My old friends were there, all the couples, my parents, Zayn's parents, my brothers, and everyone I was close to. All 4 of my kids ran to me and hugged my legs.

"Happy birthday, Mummy!" They all hugged me. Ty was already 6 and about to start first grade and Jase was already 4 and a half. The girls were barely 2 but were perfectly healthy and happy and that's all we cared about. 

"Thank you, guys!" I smiled and hugged my kids back. They ran to go play with the other kids and Zayn walked over to me. 

"Happy birthday, my love." He smiled and kissed me. I pecked his lips and he hugged me. 

"Fuck, I'm getting old. I'm already 30." I sighed. 

"Keep in mind I'm 6 months older than you, love." He chuckled. 

"Sorry, love. As long as we have each other I don't think it matters how old we get." I kissed him. 

"I agree. I love you, Cat." He kissed me.  

"I love you too, Zayn." I rested my head on his shoulder. The party was amazing and Zayn kissed me after everyone was gone. His parents offered to watch our kids for the night so we could have some alone time. 

"Why don't we go upstairs to our room, turn on some music, and dance a little?" He suggested. I nodded and he kissed me. We walked upstairs and he turned on some music. I recognized it was what we had danced to at our wedding and smiled. It was a slow version adaptation of Kylie Minogue's song Love at First Sight. I kissed him and wrapped my arms around his neck. Zayn started singing along quietly, his lips brushing against my ear. 

"Believe in Love at First Sight."
