Melissa closes her phone and starts walking to Amelia's room. She slowly walks to the doorway to see the young girl playing dolls with her sister. Melissa walks up behind her and pulls her up. She swings a squealing Amelia around.

"It's your birthday," Melissa says.

"I know! I'm six now!" Amelia says excitedly.

"So I was thinking that we could have Aunt Chyler, Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Katie, Uncle David come, and Aunt Odette over and we could have a huge birthday party," Melissa explains.

"Yeah!" Amelia says throwing her hands up.

"Great! Dad's making you your cake so we'll get you ready." Melissa says, setting Amelia down. She goes into Amelia's closet and pulls out a pink flower dress and pink flats to match. She helps Amelia get it on and then takes her into the bathroom to do her hair. She pulls out her curling iron and begins curling Amelia's hair.

Once she's finished, she sends Amelia back to her room and gets Leah ready. She picked out a similar purple dress for her and purple flats. She curls Leah's hair and ties the front of her hair back.

"You two are stunning. Have I ever told you that?" Melissa asks tying off Leah's hair.

"Yeah, all the time," Leah responds, smiling.

"Good." Melissa kisses the top of Leah's head. "Alright, let's go." Melissa grabs Leah's hand and walks down the stairs with her. They walk into the kitchen and see Chris and Amelia spreading frosting on the cake. Melissa breaks into a smile at the sight.

Chris glances behind him and smiles at the two girls. He whispers something to Amelia before turning around and walking towards them. He kisses Melissa before giving Leah a hug.

"We're just about done," Chris admits.

"Great, everyone will be here soon," Melissa explains. Melissa walks away from the group and starts putting up the remaining decorations they hadn't put up the day before. She taped a pink wall banner up and put the balloons where they belonged. Although Melissa wasn't very keen on making Amelia's party pink, it's what the young girl wanted.

Melissa laid the pink tablecloth across the long table already set out and went into the kitchen to grab the treats Amelia and Leah had made. With the lollipops and cupcakes in hand, Melissa walks back and carefully sets them on the table. Chris comes in soon after, holding the cake, and sets it in the middle of the table.

"Perfect," Melissa whispered, admiring her setup.

"You did a great job babe," Chris admits, wrapping his arm around Melissa's waist. Melissa smiles and rests her head on his shoulder. The two stood like until the doorbell went off, signaling their first guest had arrived.

"Hi, Auntie Chyler." Amelia's soft voice yells. Melissa walks over to the door to see her best friend, her husband, and her three kids standing at the door.

"Hey Chy." Melissa says, walking up to her. She engulfs Chyler in a hug and welcomes her family into the home.

"You guys can put the presents on the table over there," Melissa explains noticing the presents in Nathan's arms. He thanks her and walks over to the table.

"This is a beautiful setup, Mel," Chyler says, admiring the room. Melissa smiles at the compliment.

Soon after Chyler, Jeremy, Katie, David, and Odette showed up. Everyone showed up with their spouses and Odette brought Charlie. Charlie ran off to play with all the other kids and the adults were left in the room. Melissa and Chris received compliments about how pretty the room and decorations were.

"Mommy! Mommy! Can I open up my presents?" Amelia asks, running to her mother.

"We have to eat the cake first," Melissa explains, lifting up her daughter.

"Well, can we eat the cake?" Amelia asks.

"If you can gather all the kids, sure. We can eat the cake."

...

"Thank you so much for coming," Melissa says to Chyler.

"Oh, it was no problem. I had a lot of fun, as did the kids." Chyler explains.

"I'm glad you guys had fun. Amy's going to have a lot of fun with the presents you guys got her." Melissa explains.

"I'm happy she liked them. Well, I have to go. See you tomorrow." Chyler says.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow," Melissa says waving. Once Chyler turns to her car, Melissa closes the door. She walks into the living room and sits next to Chris on the couch.

"Are you tired?" He asks when Melissa lays her head on his shoulder.

"Exhausted." She replies, closing her eyes.

"You should probably get to bed if you want to sleep." Chris chuckles.

"I know, but I don't want to get up," Melissa complains.

"Lazy." Chris teases.

"Hey, watch it," Melissa says, laughing slightly.

"Night Babe," Chris says. "I love you."

"I love you too."
