It was my babies, 5th birthday. The living hall was now looking like a party hall. With lights and balloons. Ribbons and soft music playing in the background. Kids were running and laughing with each other. They were having fun, then I saw my babies dancing on the dance floor with a few other kids to the music.
"Andrea!" mom called me from the kitchen. I and Jason parted our ways as he went to Sebastian and Rose while I took a turn and entered the kitchen.
"You look lovely." Mom said with a smile and she came and hugged me warmly.
"Thank you. You look, beautiful mom." I said returning her gesture.
"They are having fun." She said looking at Sebastian and Rose.
I saw Sebastian and dad dancing. Or should I say, dad, trying to follow Sebastian's dance which was hilarious to watch?
Then I saw Jason with a huge grin and was on his knees while he, twirl Rose around as Rose laughed and danced around him. He sat there watching them. Love and adoration in his eyes.
As if feeling my eyes on him, his head turned towards me, and our eyes connected. I smiled at him as he mouthed 'I love you to me. To which I mouthed back 'I love you too' and he smiled back at me.
"Come on everyone, the cake has arrived," Dad announced as everyone gathered at one place.
The birthday song played behind as Sebastian and Rose-cut their caked. Both grinned and giggled happily when I and Jason fed them a cake.
"Happy birthday my babies!" I said and kissed them on their still so chubby cheeks.
"Thank you, mommy." They sang. Returning my gesture of kissing the cheeks.
"All love for mommy. What about daddy?" Jason said with a cute but fake frown on his face. Which made Rose sad and a sweet frown appeared on her face and then she hugged him and kissed him on his cheek showing her love for her daddy.
I smiled as Sebastian hugged me. Thinking how my boy never leaves my side and how Rose is close to her dad more than anyone melted my heart.
The party went by amazing. Everyone had fun, danced, ate, sang, played and whatnot. After everyone left, I and mom cleaned the place while dad and Jason put Sebastian and Rose to their bed.
"Everything went nice." Mom said as she took a seat at the dining, table facing me.
"Yes, I am glad. They both enjoyed." I said with a smile which she returned.
"Yes, they did." She said with a smile. Soon, there were tears in her eyes. I kept my hand on hers giving a slight squeeze.
"Mom are you okay?" I asked her with a frown and she smiled looking at my worried face for her.
"I am more than an okay sweetheart. I am so happy that I have everything. A family. You know when we get to know that we can never have our kids, it was like we will never get a family. And see now. After Jason arrived in our life, it was like we were complete like a family. Then I got to meet you, an amazingly strong woman whom I can call my daughter more than a daughter-in-law. You and Jason have given us the biggest gifts in the form of our grandchildren. I am very thankful that we have Jason and you in our life."
"Thank you, mom," I said we a sad smile as she wiped her tears.

The next day when my babies were playing in the room, Jason was in his office, Mom and dad were taking a walk in the garden, I was alone sitting in my room sipping my coffee.
Reading a book that Lucy, Conner's wife has suggested to me a long time ago. I heard my phone buzzing but it was an unknown number.
Narrowing my eyes at the screen I answered the call unsure.
"Hello," I said but I was met with silence.
"Hello? Who is this?" I said standing up feeling uneasy.
"Rea." I heard his voice which send chills in my body.
"Zac," I said with a venom lace voice.
"Oh Rea, no need to get all worked up." He said while chuckling.
"How did you get my number, you bastard!" I shouted.
"Oh no Rea, I would keep a check on my tone if I were you. And to answer your question. I took your number from Conner's. You see it was really hard but I have my sources. And guess what I got to know about something amazing. I heard you have a son and a daughter now, am I rig-"
"Don't you fucking dare to speak about my babies Zac!" I shouted knocking my coffee cup from the table to shatter in pieces on the floor.
"Oh Rea, isn't it unfair. You killed my son, so to make it fair, and equal I have decided to spare your life but now my target will be your children's." He said with honey dripping his voice and the line went dead.
My head was spinning and anger rushed through my body. I threw my phone on the wall out of anger.
That fucking bastard! I won't let him touch my family. How dare he fucking threatened me like this. Zac King, I will fucking kill you with my fucking hands.
