It took a lot of control for Jessica not to laugh out loud at the sight of her today 2-year-old daughter imitating her father perfectly. Hands on her hips, head cocked to the side and a glare. Horatio looked surprised at his daughter and Sophia looked right back. Sophia hadn't enjoyed daddy's joke of misplacing all her birthday presents.

"It's okay, daddy's got them princess." Horatio smiled and Sophia gave him a huge grin.

It was Sophia's 2-year birthday and the girl was patiently waiting for her gifts. Her parents had told her that the gifts would be opened when the rest of the family arrived. Horatio picked his daughter up and gave her a birthday kiss.

"Are you feeling good today sweetheart?" He asked.

"Yes dada. Me play?"

"Of course." Horatio smiled and put her down on the floor.

Faster than a bullet she ran out of her parents' bedroom to her own room. Horatio and Jessica smiled at the sound of Sophia giving orders to her cars not to move.

Horatio laid back down on the bed next ho his wife and caressed her 34 week pregnant belly.

"Remember what we guessed we talked about a year ago?" Jessica asked.

"What?"

"What we would be doing on Sophia's 2nd birthday."

"Ah yes, we talked about the past and the future." Horatio smiled.

Flashback

"What did I do two years ago?" Jessica asked.

Horatio thought for a moment.

"You and I had just met." Horatio smiled.

"Yeah, or at least had our first date." Jessica grinned and gave him a kiss, "One year ago we were holding Sophia for the first time and what will we do next year?"

"Except celebrating Sophia's 2nd birthday?" Horatio asked, "I don't know. Await the birth of our second child, maybe we're on vacation with Kyle and Sophia somewhere. I don't know."

"I don't know either. I only know that it will be a happy day, we will have the whole family here and we will be singing for Sophia again." Jessica grinned.

"I'm looking forward to it already." Horatio said and gave his wife and mother to his daughter a deep kiss.

End of flashback

"I was right." Horatio grinned.

"Lucky guess." Jessica teased.

As the sound of Sophia's voice when he saw her brother Horatio and Jessica decided that it was probably for the best for them to get up and make breakfast. They both smiled at the sight of Kyle giving his sister a hug.

"Happy birthday!" Kyle grinned, "After I have had a lot of coffee to wake up I will play with you all day."

"Pomise?" Sophia asked.

"I promise." Kyle smiled and ruffled her hair as he put her down on the floor.

Sophia giggled and ran back to her room to play some more before breakfast was done.

"Since when do you drink coffee?" Horatio asked.

"Since I realized what I great energy kick I get from it in the mornings." Kyle yawned as he slumped down a kitchen chair and put his head on the table. Horatio started to make breakfast and Jessica and Kyle waited. Horatio wouldn't allow Jessica to make breakfast anymore if he was home. If he was at work then she could do it, but otherwise all she had to do was to take it easy. Jessica did some complaining about how she wasn't made of glass just because she was pregnant, but it was nice to get spoiler by her husband sometimes and simply have to do nothing.

"The doctor still hasn't said anything about there being two babies?" Kyle asked.

"No." Jessica smiled, "You'll have to wait. But I'm telling you, it's only one."

"Doctors can be wrong."

"Not my doctor." Jessica smiled.

Kyle smiled back. Kyle was absolutely certain that it was twins in Jessica's belly since it was bigger than a belly with only one baby but not too big. Kyle through the other baby was hiding behind its brother or sister. Kyle also knew the gender of the baby and therefore didn't buy any gifts. He knew that the minute they saw what he had bought they would know the gender. Instead Kyle waited until the baby was born.

"Ky play?" Sophia asked.

"After some coffee."

"No, Ky play!"

"You better get used to playing in the morning without coffee first." Jessica smirked.

Kyle yawned and stood up. He lazily walked with his sister to her room and watched as she told him how one car had crashed in to her gorilla toy. Jessica and Horatio smiled.

"Do you think you'll give birth earlier than expected this time too?" Horatio asked.

"Maybe. Last time it was only two days before."

"Maybe you'll go past your due date."

"I hope not. As fun as it is to be pregnant once you reach the end of the pregnancy you can't wait to push the baby out."

"I can understand that sweetheart." Horatio smiled.

-I-

Sophia was only two but she was fast when it came to ripping the paper of the gifts. When Sophia saw what her uncle Walter had bought her she couldn't be happier.

"Oh!" She exclaimed at the sight of the bathing ring in the form on an elephant.

Ever since she had seen it on a picture she had wanted it. Sophia gave Walter a hug and a kiss on the cheek and then reluctantly put the elephant down to open the other gifts.

"Who gave her all the water guns again?" Horatio asked.

"We did." Kyle and Ryan smirked.

Of course the water guns were intended to be used on Jessica and Horatio.

"Remind me to give Ryan dumpster duty for a whole year, okay Eric?"

Horatio grinned.

"Anything for you H." Eric laughed at Ryan's surprised face.

"It was Kyle's idea!" Ryan exclaimed.

"Traitor." Kyle growled playfully.

Horatio just shook his head and smirked. Of course Ryan hated dumpster duty because of his OCD. Horatio wouldn't give him dumpster duty for a whole year though. But the look on Ryan's face was so worth threatening to do so.

Sophia shrieked of joy as she got a kite from Eric and Calleigh.

"Ky! Ky! Ite!" Sophia exclaimed.

"Yes, it's a kite. And I guess I'll be the one running around with it." Kyle said.

"You need the exercise." Eric teased.

"That makes two of us." Kyle was quick to tease back.

"Boys." The women sighed and rolled their eyes.

When all the gifts were open it was time to eat some cake. Sophia had gotten her favorite strawberry cake and some chocolate cookies. Sophia grinned widely when her family sang happy birthday to her and demanded that they sing it again. Everybody had to sing it four times before Sophia said it was enough.

"She's quite the boss isn't she?" Jesse grinned, "Her future boyfriends will quickly learn who is in charge of everything."

"What future boyfriends?" Kyle and Horatio said on the same time.

Everybody laughed and joked about how both Kyle and Horatio would interrogate any guy Sophia ever brought home.

"No they won't." Jessica smiled, "Horatio will be sleeping on the couch if she does and Kyle will never get anymore morning coffee."

"We won't interrogate. Just ask questions and demand answers." Horatio smirked, "Like Frank does with his daughter's boyfriends."

Frank blushed as everyone looked surprised at him.

"Well, I just make sure they don't bring home any jerks." Frank said.

"Have you ever been interrogated by a girl's father?" Eric asked Horatio.

"Yeah, I had a girl once when I was young. Her father waited for us at the door one evening with a rifle. He was apparently just cleaning it. He looked at me like was an ant he wanted to crush."

"And then what?" Jessica asked.

"Well, he watched both me and his daughter all night like a hawk." Horatio said, "It took three more visits before he finally stopped."

"And you want to be the same with Sophia's boyfriends?" Alexx asked.

"No, I'll just show them my gun and tell them what the rules are from the beginning. Then I'll say nothing more about it." Horatio grinned.

"As I said, you'll be sleeping on the couch if you do." Jessica winked.

After the cake was eaten the children went to play in the backyard with the adults keeping a close eye on them.

-I-

Sophia was asleep in her parents' bed after a whole day of fun and games.

"Should we let her stay?" Jessica asked, "She looks so cute."

"She can stay." Horatio smiled, "I hope she will like her sibling."

"Of course she will." Jessica smiled, "She might think the baby is annoying at first, but eventually she will love him or her."

"Did you hear what names she wanted for the baby?" Horatio asked.

"No?"

"If it's a boy she wanted to name him Shrek." Horatio chuckled, "And if it's a girl Fiona."

"Kyle has let her watch Shrek too many times." Jessica grinned, "Shrek and Fiona. Well, if it's a boy he'll be the only boy in class with that name."

Jessica just laughed.
