âSurprise!â Haley and Lily gushed in unison when Tabitha opened the door.
Her sisters were both still dressed in their pajamasâHaley in demure polka dots and Lilyâs decorated with tumbling puppy dogs who seemed to bear a striking resemblance to Max. Haley carried a cake stand with a beautifully frosted yellow cake sitting atop it, and Lily had an armful of gift bags.
Tabitha shook her head. âWhatâs going on here? Itâs not even seven oâclock in the morning.â
âHence our attire,â Haley said with an arch of her eyebrows.
âItâs a surprise Motherâs Day pajama party.â Lily flashed West a grin over Tabithaâs shoulder. âIt was Westâs idea. He wanted to surprise you.â
Haleyâs eyes sparkled. âDid it work? Are you surprised?â
âSurprised would be an understatement.â Tabitha laughed and held the door open wide. âCome on in. Please. The boys arenât even up yet.â
âOh, that was intentional. Youâre not lifting a finger this morning, hon. Zach and Zaneâs aunties are here, and weâre getting the boys up and dressed and fed and all that jazz while you put your feet up and enjoy some cake for breakfast.â Haley set the cake plate down next to the ice bucket on the kitchen counter. âDid I mention the cake is mimosa flavored? Orange layer cake with silky champagne cream. Lily made it from scratch.â
Tabitha gasped. âYouâre kidding. I donât remember the GreatStore café serving anything that fancy back when you worked there, Lily.â
âThatâs because this cake is special, just for you.â Her sister pulled a face. âBut this is my first time trying the recipe, so no promises.â
Tabitha took a big inhale. âIt smells fantastic. Iâm sure it will be amazing.â
âWho wants mimosas? Iâm ready to pour,â West said as he plucked the champagne bottle from the ice bucket.
Haley and Lily both raised their hands.
âMe too, most definitely,â Tabitha said.
âThatâs a given. You get the first glass.â West handed her a champagne flute.
She took it but hesitated before taking a sip. âIâm pretty sure I hear the boys stirring in their room.â
âNo worries. Thatâs our department today.â Haley bustled toward the nursery with Lily hot on her heels.
âTry and save us some cake and bubbly, though,â Lily shot over her shoulder.
âAs if we could consume all of this by ourselves.â Tabitha laughed.
Her quiet morning was suddenly filled with the sounds of babbling babies and celebration and more joy than sheâd ever thought possible to fit into her modest little cottage. It was such a stark contrast to Motherâs Day last year, when sheâd been nine months pregnant with swollen ankles and practically on bed rest as she prepared to give birth to twins. As exciting as that time had been, it had also been bittersweet. A day hadnât passed when Tabitha hadnât mourned West. Not just for herself, but for her children. Sheâd thought they would never know their daddy...had been convinced she was all theyâd ever have. Just her and the memories of the man whoâd never even known they existed.
And now here they all were, together.
