8:30 pm

Everyone started coming, Jessica and Danny dressed the babies in their cute costumes and went down to the living room.

"Look who's here!" Ann speaks in a high voice

"Leo, do you like this music?" Jane takes him in her arms and he kicks his legs and smiles.

"Mom, dad, he's here!" Alicia walks up to them smiling.

"Who is he?" Danny looks at her

"John!"

"John?!"

"Ugh, dad! Mom, please, no stories from my childhood, and you're dad, no weird jokes, okay?"

"Okay, honey."

"I don't know!"Danny shrugs his shoulders.

Agnes rolls her eyes and goes to her boyfriend. Danny takes Jessica by the elbow and whispers to her

"Why didn't she tell me?"

"I don't know!" she removes her elbow

"John, my parents Jessica and Danny Huston"

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Huston!" he shakes their hand

"Hello, John! Very nice to meet you!"

" You look beautiful, Mrs. Huston!" he smiles sweetly, and Danny rolls his eyes, taking a sip of his champagne.

"Oh, Alicia, I like him! Thank you!' she giggles

"Have a good time!"

Alicia and John leave and Jessica turns to Danny, crossing her arms

"You could at least say Hello, Daniel."

"I don't like him, why did you let her invite him?"

"Because it's her birthday, Danny, and stop thinking about yourself, okay?"

***
It is now five minutes to new year and everyone gathered in the living room in a large circle.

"This year was terrible, but at the same time so good!" Jessica smiles, hugging Leo

"Yes, now we have our beautiful babies!" Danny kisses girls.

"I hope next year will be much better.....and my graduation!" Alicia shouts happily

"Oh, stop! you don't want me to cry, right?!" Jessica closes her eyes and Alicia giggles.

"Well, everyone is ready!"George raises a glass of champagne

"10, 9, 8, 7........."

"3, 2, 1......Happy New Year!" everyone is shouting and kissing each other.
David hugs Vivian, Alicia kisses John, and Danny and Jessica kiss the babies, then Danny kisses Jessica's lips, but she quickly pulls away.

"Sorry..I..."

"Happy new year, Danny!" she smiles and he smiles back.

"Mommy, daddy! It's the new year and it's not Alicia's birthday anymore!" Vivian yells and their kids run to hug them.
