Ali's pov

"Good morning princesses. Do you want to help make Mommy's breakfast?"

"Yeah" Lily cheerfully says

"Let's go" Grace smiles, throwing herself out her bed

"Why are you two so energetic?"

"We woke up to finish Mommy's present and card"

"Can I see them?" I ask

"No. It's a surprise" Lily tells me as she skips towards the kitchen

Lily and Grace do their best to help me make Emily waffles. Once I have mixed the flour and eggs, I carefully pour the mixture into a waffle iron. I ask Lily and Grace to chop up strawberries with the bluntest knives I can find

"Go get the cool whip" I tell Grace

I slide a sharp knife out of the knife stand and carefully shape the waffle into a love-heart

"That looks awesome Mom" Lily says, poking her finger into the indent of the waffle

"Oi. Get your slimy hands off Mom's birthday breakfast" I laugh, hitting her hand softly

Lily giggles; before her and Grace begin to scrape the left over waffle mixture out of the bowl

"Ready?" I ask, squeezing a swirl of cool whip onto the waffle and placing a few strawberries on top

Emily's pov

"Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Mommy. Happy Birthday to you"

I rub my eyes open, and a yawn escapes from my lips

"Happy Birthday darling" Alison smiles,
softly kissing me

She places a plastic tray on my knee. A pink envelope saying 'my one true love' rests against a small glass of fresh orange juice, next to which is a beautifully made breakfast

"Did you make this?" I ask Lily and Grace

"No, Mom did" Lily admits

"You helped me" Alison says, cheekily smiling at me

"Well thank you. This is delicious" I blush before throwing a strawberry into my mouth

Once I've finished my breakfast in bed, Ali takes the tray off me and puts the plates into the kitchen

"Time for presents?" Grace asks, bouncing on our bed

"Happy birthday gorgeous" Alison smirks, handing me a rectangular box

"What's this?"

"My...virginity" Alison giggles into my ear as a whisper

I discreetly smile and roll my eyes at her uncontrollable dirty mind

"What actually is it?"

"Open it and you'll see" Ali tells me

I pull back the pink princess wrapping paper and see the edge of a white box

"Oh my god. An iPhone?"

Alison smugly grins at me

"Thank you" I say, pulling her into a hug

Lily whispers something into Grace's ear and Grace reacts by running into their bedroom and then returning to our room with a card and a present

"Happy Birthday Mommy" Grace says, holding my present out to me

"Thank you" I smile, looking down at my card which has a stick figure family of four on it

I open a familiar red ring box and find a ring made from Daisy's that Lily and Grace took from the front lawn

"It's beautiful" I smile

I try to put the ring made from flowers on my index finger, on top of my engagement and wedding rings. As I move the flowers down my finger trying not to rip it, I realised Lily and Grace made it to fit their fingers, I slowly remove it from below my finger nail and carefully slide it onto my pinky

"I love you all so much" I smirk, looking lovingly at my three blondes

"We love you too" Ali smiles

Lily and Grace both jump onto me and I sink into a long hug with them and Alison.

Ali's pov

"Welcome. The Birthday girl is in the back yard" I tell our friends, their children and their parents

"How's life Pam?" Carson asks, holding up his hand in a fist

Unexpectedly Pam fist bumps Carson. Carson then walks over to Lily and throws his arm around her

"Sup babe" he says, fixing his beanie

"He literally is Caleb. I don't think I've seen anyone as similar to their parent" Aria laughs

"He's not the exact same. Carson has more swag" Jason laughs as he walks into our house

"Jason" I scream, throwing my arms around him

"Where have you been? I haven't seen you in ages" I complain, slapping his shoulder

"I honestly think the last time we saw each other was when you got shot" Jason admits hugging me tighter

"Why are you back?" I squeal

"I had to come visit my sister on her birthday" Jason says, walking over to Emily and softly shoving her

"Spence" Jason smiles, nodding his head at her

"Hey Jason" she awkwardly replies

"Can I get a hug from my three stunning nieces?" Jason asks, holding his arms open to Abigail, Grace and Lily

We all sing happy birthday to Emily before Pam pulls out boxes full of baby pictures. We all laugh about times we shared with Emily, carefully biting our tongues in front of our moms

"Everyone's told a story of them and Em, except you Ezra" Aria says

"I don't really have a story. I used to be her English teacher" he awkwardly says

"You can't think of one story?" Caleb asks

"Nope" Ezra admits

"Well looks like you'll have to go on a date" Mrs Hastings jokes

"Let's play a game" Mrs Marin says

"What game Mom?"

"What do you love most about Emily"

"I'll start. The thing I love most about Emily is Emily" I blush

"That's a rubbish answer" Jason tells me

"What's yours?" I snarl

"I love that Emily is true to herself" I roll my eyes at his answer

"Mine has got to be Emily's eyes" Aria smiles

"Definitely" Hanna and Spencer agree

"Her eyes make her hard to disappoint" Pam says

"The thing I love about myself is that I donated my eggs and in return got two beautiful babies" Emily smiles

"Your breakfast eggs?" Grace asks

"Uhhh...yes" Emily worryingly replies

"Can't believe my baby is thirty" Pam begins to cry

"My little girl is married and is a mom at the age of thirty. You have accomplished so much Emily. I am so proud to be your mom"

"My beautiful Emmy" Pam sniffs

"To Emily" we all cheer clinking our glasses of wine together
