Carefully climbing out of Jaxon's bed I gave him a kiss on the head and creeped out of his room. I checked on Wolf and Jazzy giving them both a kiss and then going back to my room.
"Where've you been?" Justin asked making me jump out of my skin. I thought he was asleep the little bitch.
"Jaxon had a nightmare and wanted me to stay so I did and then I checked on the others"
"Is he okay?" I nodded and climbed into bed, I'm so tired.

--next day--
Justin's P.O.V.

Today is Aribella's birthday and me and the kids are getting everything ready. Yesterday I took them out to get balloons, cake and decorations for the house and when we got back Ari was in the bath luckily so we had time to hide everything. She's still sleeping right now and we've nearly finished the house. There are balloons everywhere and I can't wait to see her face. I'm gonna make out like I've forgot and then me and the kids are going to surprise her.

I began walking up the stairs and the kids were at the bottom. I turned to them as I got to the top just to give them a reminder. "Remember act like you don't know. Go hide" they nodded and ran to hide. As I was about to go into the bedroom, Aribella appeared making us both jump but we giggled straight after.
"Hey sleepy head" I said giving her a kiss.
"Hey. Thanks for letting me sleep in, I needed it. What have you guys been doing?"
"Not much. I made them all breakfast and now they are all watching tv in the living room" she nodded her head and made her way downstairs. I began to cough, I told the kids when I cough she's coming. Aribella reached the bottom step and was greeted by party poppers and a loud "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" Aribella jumped and her hands covered her mouth. Tears began to fall and she hid her face, aw baby.
"Aw my babies Thankyou so much" she gave them a group hug and wiped her tears. She turned to me "you did all this?"
"And them but yeah it was my idea"
"Can I have cake now?" Wolf asked with a cheeky smile.
"not yet bud. Later"
"I thought you forgot" Ari said giving me a hug, I rested my chin on her head.
"That's what I wanted you to think. Tonight we are all going out and everyone is going to be there. Scooter, Yael and their boys, Hailey, Cam, Tiana, Shawn, Harper and Noah, Lauren, Ethan and Bella basically all our friends and family"
"Justin..you didn't have to do that"
Don't worry baby, the surprises aren't over yet I thought to myself.

---evening dinner---
Aribella's P.O.V
I can't believe how many of us are here I can't thank Justin enough for this. We are all having a lovely time and I've been showered in gifts today I'm so grateful. Until now I've been sat at home with Justin and the kids, he's been looking at me funny all day and it's putting me on edge like what is this boy up to?. For my birthday he brought me a trip to The Maldives for a week and some new nude heels, I'm wearing them now.

"Are you enjoying your day?" Yael asked me from across the table. "I've loved it so far. Best birthday" I gusher to her. I noticed Hailey had her phone up to me, defo Snapchat or Instagram stories. I looked at her and did a kissy face and then smiled and laughed causing her to laugh too.
I felt two hands cover my eyes and it made me jump. I turned around to go mad at the per- "OH MY GOD" i burst out crying. "Madison!" I stood up from my chair and hugged her so hard, my girl!.
"What are you doing here?" I said looking at her, she was crying too.
"I couldn't miss your 22nd birthday" we hugged again, Justin!!.
"how long have you been here?"
"since 9AM this morning. I went to see Tiana and Hailey it's been so hard to not come over" I turned around "you little bitches" everyone laughed.
"We are sorry. We wanted to keep it a surprise, don't worry we cried too" Hailey said with her phone still in her hand.
"Justin called me last week and asked me to come surprise you" I bent down and gave him a kiss, I'm so lucky.

Tonight so far has been amazing. Everyone is having a good time and the conversations are flowing and I'm just sat here looking around and at everyone. I'm blessed to have such amazing people around me who support and love me as much as I love them but I can't help but think about my beautiful mother. This is my first birthday without her well properly. It's the first time not waking up to me a big birthday paragraph text off her saying how proud she was of me and how she loves me followed by a cute video where at the end she'd say "happy birthday my beautiful baby girl". I miss her so damn much. "Are you okay baby?" I heard Justin whisper in my ear. "Yeah I'm just...thinking about my mom. I miss her Justin". His expression changed and he pulled me into a tight hug, I feel so much when he gives me a hug.
"I have one more surprise" I looked at him, another?.
"Justin.."
"Can I have everyone's attention please" Justin said whilst tapping his glass with a knife.
"I have one more surprise for my girl so would you all please make your way outside" what? Everyone stood up and began to walk outside and of course annoying paps were here.
I heard a loud cheer followed by clapping. Flashes were going off, well I guess they are here for one good use, capturing this moment haha. I made my through everyone and shock took over me. I was greeted to thee most beautiful thing ever. An all black G-Wagon with a big red bow on the front.
