Jux woke up early and walked downstairs to the kitchen. He quietly pulled the pans and other things he needed from the cupboards, then set to work on fixing breakfast.
Once he had finished the pancakes, bacon, sausage and eggs, he took the toast from the toaster and cut it into wedges. He covered the toast with strawberry preserves and put the plate and everything on the tray.
He quietly walked upstairs, peering through the twins' bedroom door to make sure they were still asleep. Then he crept silently to the bedroom he shared with Trin and closed the door behind him. For a long moment, he watched her sleeping, marveling at how beautiful she was.
Finally, he carried the tray to the side table and set it down. Carefully, he sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over, kissing her softly on the forehead. He waited until she moaned softly and opened her eyes.
With a smile, he lifted the tray to her lap and kissed her softly on the lips. "Happy Birthday, sweetheart. I love you." He waited patiently for her response, the smile lingering on his lips.

Slowly the last visage of sleep fell away like the sun cresting over a mountain ridge to shine lazily through the bedroom drapes. Trinity had partially come awake when her husband had gotten up, but marked it up as nothing except a mother nature run or maybe even one of the boys were stirring. Not wanting to get up any earlier than absolutely necessary, Trinity pulled one of the
king-sized pillows over her head and had burrowed deep into the warm blankets of their bed. It was only a moment and sleep reclaimed her, of course she was quite the willing prisoner.

Sometime during the stolen moments of continued sleep, Trinity had pushed away the pillow that covered her head. Her forehead exposed, she shifted a small bit when Juxtor kissed the area, his breath stirring wisps of tousled hair. Reluctantly she stretched, the delectable smell of the breakfast her husband had prepared further waking her. No sooner had she pressed back against the remaining pillow forcing it to form a backrest between her back and
the headboard, than Juxtor balanced a tray on her lap assuring that it would not tip as he kissed her. "Happy Birthday, sweetheart. I love you."

He settled to the edge of the bed and withdrew from behind his back a single violet shaded rose, laying it tenderly across one corner of the tray. Juxtor grinned like a school boy out to win the heart of the girl who sat one row over whom only the week before had suffered tugged pig tails at his hand.

It always took Trinity by surprise, this huge man who could scare the daylights out of anyone with just a sudden turn, could be so tender and easy with showing his feelings. "Thank you, swee..." was about all she got out before Loltar and Christian, their five year old twins burst through the bedroom door, waving hand made construction paper birthday cards and yelling in unison, "Happy Birthday to you mama!"

Tears, uncommon for the woman swaddled still beneath the bedclothes, shimmered in hazel eyes as Trinity looked around at three of the four that made up her small family. Only Charlie, who slept soundly in his crib, down the hall was absent. "Thank you baby." Leaning to help the twins onto the bed as well as Juxtor reached a quick hand to keep the breakfast tray righted. She gave her husband a special smile before letting her full attention drift to
their twin sons

::Cletus tilted his head in confusion, seeing no mention of Trinity's birthday other than Illusia's message::
