Chapter 51

Roslyn walked into her cozy living room; she was taken aback by the warm smiles of Chris and Rachael, who were seated on the couch, looking like they'd been waiting for her.

"Wow! What a surprise!" Roslyn exclaimed, adjusting Zane's position in her arms, his tiny hands grasping her hair.

Chris stood up, opening his arms for a hug. "Hey, sis! We couldn't miss Zane's first birthday. We're here to celebrate!"

Rachael chimed in, "And spoil him rotten!"

Roslyn's eyes widen in astonishment. "You guys are a couple of days early! I wasn't expecting you until Saturday."

Rachel chuckled mischievously. "We wanted to surprise you and make the most of our weekend. Besides, we couldn't wait to see our little prince turn one."

Zane, sensing the excitement, squirmed in Roslyn's arms, babbling happily.

Roslyn smiled, kissing Zane's forehead. "I think someone's excited to see his favorite aunt and uncle."

Chris grinned, gently tickling Zane's chin. "Hey, buddy! We're here to party!"
