"They all are. I can't believe Abby's 2 next week...and Kayla 4? It seems like we had her just yesterday," Kevin added.
"So what should we do about their birthday's? One big party for the two of them?" Leighanne asked.
"That's what I was thinking," Kristin said.
"Sound's good to me. We can have a barbeque out back," Brian said sitting Abby in her swing.
"Yeah that sounds good, I'll start calling everybody right now," Leighanne said.

"Damn baby, did you really need all this food?" AJ asked, looking at the table which was crowded with appetizers and dinner plates.
"I'm sorry, I'm hungry. I'm eating for two," Sarah said and started eating again.
"Jesus, I think you may be eating for four, good God woman."
"You were the one that dragged me here, if you didn't want me to eat, I wouldn't have come!" she said starting to get upset.
"No, no baby, its okay. Just shh quiet down. You can have all the food you want, I won't say another word. I promise." AJ sat back in his chair watching his wife continue to eat. He laughed to himself but stopped quickly when she looked up with a glare.

Brooke had gotten up to do some dishes while Howie was sitting in the living room writing. The phone rang and Howie yelled, "I got it baby! Hello?"
"Hey Howie, it's Leighanne."
"Oh, hey Leigh! How are you?"
"I'm good thanks, how are you guys?" She asked.
"Good, Jake's sleeping right now and Brooke's doing dishes."
"Oh I see, well, Abby and Kayla's birthday is next week so we were going to have a barbeque over here at our house on Friday."
"Yeah, that sounds good, we'll be there, what time?" Howie asked.
"Um...hang on let me see....Brian about what time??" Howie heard Brian mumble something in the background. "He says around 5, how's that sound?"
"Sounds great!" Howie exclaimed.
"Okay, well I'll talk to you later Howie, tell Brooke hi for me!" Leigh said.
"Alrighty, see ya later."
****
"Well, Howie, Brooke, and Jake are coming, I'll try Jaime and Nick now." She told the rest and started dialing again.
****
"Nick!!!!" Jaime yelled over the crying babies.
"I'm coming!!" he yelled back running back to them with a diaper and a bottle.
"You change Matt, I'll feed Emmy!" Jaime said.
"Okay, okay, Matty...hey buddy! Here daddy's gonna get that dirty thing off of you." Nick said lying the boy on his back as the two babies continued to scream. Jaime was trying to give Emily the bottle, but she wouldn't take it. Nick finished changing Matt and he was still crying.
"God, Jaime, what's wrong with them?" Nick asked holding Matt on his shoulder trying to calm him.
"I don't know, we've tried everything!" she said as the phone rang.
"I'll get it, here!" Jaime said handing Nick Emily. He struggled trying to hold on to both babies but managed to get into a rocking chair, rocking them both as they still cried.
Jaimed sighed and picked up the phone, "Hello?"
"Hey Jaims! Uh oh...did I interrupt?" Leighanne asked as she heard the crying in the background.
"No not really...we just don't know what's wrong with them."
"Do they need fed?"
"Did it." Jaime said.
"Changed?" Leigh asked.
"Done."
"Burped?" Jaime's eyes went huge as she rememberd that's what they forgot.
"Nick!! Burp them!!" She screamed. Leighanne smiled and shook her head.
"Well hey, I'll make this quick. Cookout at our house next Friday around 5 for Abby and Kayla's birthday."
"Oooh, okay awesome, we'll be there. Maybe not all in one piece, but we'll be there." Jaime said smiling as she heard a loud burp and one of the babies calming down.
"Alright, I'll see ya then girl, you guys take care!" Leighanne said.
"See ya."
****
"Ow, baby that hurt!" AJ yelled holding his arm after being slapped again. He really needed to watch what he was saying.
"Well you deserved it!" Sarah said as they walked into their house hearing the phone ring.
"I'll go get it," AJ said running to the phone. "Yo?"
"Hey how's Sarah?" Leighanne ased.
"Hi AJ, how are you AJ? Oh I'm great Leigh, thanks for asking!" he replied.
"Sorry, hi AJ, how's Sarah?" AJ rolled his eyes.
"Shes fine."
"Just fine?" Leighanne asked.
"I'm not using any other words to describe her, I don't want to get slapped yo."
"I heard that!!" Sarah yelled.
Leighanne laughed, "Okay well um we're having a cookout thing next Friday at 5 at our house for the girls birthday."
"Ohhh awesome, party! You know I'm going to spoil those girls don't you?"
"Yes we do, I can't wait to see how spoiled your kid is going to be." Leigh replied laughing.
"Wait till you see the gifts I got for Abby and Kayla." AJ said slyly.
"Oh no, I don't want to know."
He laughed, "Alright well thanks for the invite Leigh, you know we be the first one's at any party."
"Alright, we'll talk to you later then, tell Sarah hey for me."
"I'll try, later."
