75 Godiva Street | Afternoon

It wasn't exactly the ideal anniversary conditions with Annie on bedrest and Diego being constantly ready to rush to the hospital at any moment, but today was the day so they had to make do. He got food delivered (Chinese food, spicy for Annie because he read that would help induce labor), and stopped by J,GOB to get a tiny cake for two (or four, rather). It wasn't a trip to another country or a fancy dinner, but they were going to celebrate, damn it.

"Heeeey," Diego said as he came into their room, arms full of food. "Happy anniversary."

His mom had kind of been built for it, literally, but that was not the point.

"Hopefully the twins will be friends. That will give us a break," he said. "They seemed like friends when we met them, right?"

"You remember the margarita, right?" Annie replied, smiling at the memory. "Friends and also, like, partners in crime."

Who were also maybe psychic! Annie hadn't ruled that out entirely.

"Oh, yeah. We're in trouble," he said with a dramatic sigh. "We better enjoy this time while we can."
