The kids were growing fast. At only the age of one, they were already learning to walk. They already knew two words (mama and dada of course XD) and only said that to you and Newt. You noticed how all three of the children had similarities to the people they were named after. Baby Justin looked like Justin and was the leader of the pack. Lizzy, being the only girl was fierce and wouldn't cry if one of her brothers accidently hit her. And Chuck, being the baby of the group had started to grow curly hair like Chuck's and had trouble keeping up with his siblings.

The kids have strange habits though. Justin liked to throw things across the room. Lizzy liked to run away whenever you or Newt tried to get her, thinking it was a game of tag or something. And Chuck, well...he has the habit of chewing on things like a dog and he manages to chew through some of the things he gets to, like teething rings, some of Lizzy's toys, and even his own bed. Luckily uncle Gally was there to fix it XD.

The safe Haven was going to go under construction after several volunteers would go out into the safe haven and take down wood to start building an actual town with houses, supply stores, and you were hoping for a school and a library. You wanted to be in charge of both buildings when you came out. You wanted to be principal and a teacher and a librarian. You were only eighteen at this point.

***Time Skip***

The kids were turning two today and you and your family were going to throw a party for them. The kids were running around your feet now and had a lot more words to their vocabulary.

Vince's men were still out, searching for wood, bricks, supplies, things like that. You were worried about them, but you wanted to keep your eyes on your kids' special day.

"Mama!" baby Chuck screamed as you were getting ready for the party, "What is it baby?" you ask, kneeling down to Chuck. "Dey-dey."
"-They what, bubbas?" you ask.
"Dey mean!" Chuck stomped his feet.
"Lizzy! Justin! Get over here!"
Your two other children came running to you. "Be nice to your brother. Let him play." you told them. "Ok!" they two of them say. The three children ran off to play. "Hey, honey." Newt said coming into the tent. "Dada!" the kids say in unison, attacking your husband. "There're my kiddos. Where's mum?" he asked. They point to the corner where you were looking primping yourself in a mirror. He smirks and sneaks up on you, startling you. "Oh my god, Newt. Don't scare me like that!" you exclaim.  "Sorry, love. Everything's ready." he whispers in your ear. 

"Kids!" you call your spawn forth. They all come to you. "We're going out. Who wants to ride on dad's shoulders?" Newt says kneeling down. Lizzy gets to him first. Chuck pouts and covers his eyes while Justin stands there, arms crossed. "Here Chucky. Get on my back." you say. Chuck looks up in excitement and climbs onto your back. "Wah bout me?" Justin asks.
"-That's what I'm here for." Justin says. "Justy!" baby Justin says as he climbs onto Justin's shoulders. "Ready?" Justin asks. "Yep."

The six of you walk down to the dining area. Your whole family was there. There was a cake and presents. The three kids looked awe-struck. "Happy Birthday kiddos!" everyone says in unison. The kids squeal and clap their hands together. "Yaaay!" they all say. You walk towards the table and  the kids try and break loose to get to the cake and presents. "Slow down, kiddos." you say. "We gotta eat real food first. Then we'll do the cake and presents." Newt said. "Fry, could you put the cake and presents away for now. I don't want the kids getting into them before they're supposed to."

Frypan does so and the kids start to pout. They didn't scream and cry because you raised them not to. Frypan then brought out dinner. He made honey glazed ham with mashed potatoes that had cheese and bacon bitz on top and rolls. 
You all sat down to eat. The kids enjoyed the food. Chuck especially. He had fun chewing on the ham. While Chuck and Justin were monster eaters,  Lizzy knew how to chew with her mouth closed and take her time eating instead of inhaling the food. 
Once everyone was done eating, the kids immediately knew what was up next. "Cake! Cake! Cake!" they started to chant. Everyone started to laugh as Frypan brought out the chocolate cake. "Yaaaay!" the kids cheer.
On top of the cake were six candles (two for each kid) and they were sectioned off so each kid could blow out their own set of candles.
