Eternal Love

You Barsted

I rolled over and groaned as I rolled on top of Brooks and he wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear, "Happy birthday beautiful."
"Mmmm thank you," I said sleeply kissing him on the lips, "I've got to go to work."
I continued rolling over the top of Brooks and over the other side. I almost roboticaly went through the usual morning routine and I made it out to my ute. I jumped into the drivers side and put the key in the ignition and nothing, the car wouldn't turn over. I tried a few more times before jumping out and poping the hood. I looked in and around until I found the problem, "BROOKS YOU BASTED, WHERE IS THE BLOODY SPARK PLUGS?"
His big head poped out of the door way with a grin, "Oops well, looks like I will have to drive you to work," he said with a cheeky smile. I sighed and grabbed my stuff and walked over to his ute.

I made it to work only a few minuets late, "Do not forget me Brooks or so help your hide," I said in a low tone.
"All good baby, I'll be here on time, dont you worry," he said.
"Don't baby me! You no good spark plug steeling... person!" I said slaming the door.
He just rolled down the window with a smile and said, "Love you too, baby," and with that he drove off.
I walked in the door grumbling, "Trouble in paradise?" asked Jackson as he came around the corner to greet me.
"He stole the spark plug for my ute and who knows what he is going to do to my baby while I'm gone," I said throwing my hand in the air.
Jackson just laughed, "Well your first patient is here."

The day flew by so slowly and a hand full of people came in to say happy birthday, including a very jittery Hayley, which made me a little suspious of her. But any way the day still droned on and finally the clock turned 4 and I was out that door so fast.
I got out side and looked for Brooks' ute, but I couldnt see it so I waited, and waited, and well waited, untill 5, when jackson came out and offered me a ride, and just as I was about to accept a white Toyota cuiser ute with a row of spot lights on the roof and an over kill arial, came pulling up to the curb. I looked at it questionaly.

The window rolled down and then popped Nathans head, "Sorry, Brooks asked me to come and get you, he got caught up with something at home, a cow got stuck in the dam or something," he mumbled on.
I turned and thanked Jackson for the offer before jumping in the passenger seat of Nathans ute.
"Happy Birthday by the way," he said before tearing off in the direction of home.
"Yeah some Birthday this has been," I murmered under my breath.

Being cooped up with the likes of Nathan in a car for an hour is really not the best way to spend your birthday, the contiuous innuendos and flirting, I'm about to deck him. He really hasnt changed much since he was 15. But boys will be boys.

We finaly pulled up just behind the house and there standing there in all his glory was the one and only Brooks, wait till I give him a piece of my mind. I didnt even say goodbye to Nathan I just got out of the ute and stomped over to Brooks ready to fire, but as I got close he ran at me and picked me up over his shoulder and ran with me screaming like a lunitic. He ran around the house then all of a sudden I hear shouts of HAPPY BIRTHDAYS! Before being flung down a farm style slip 'n' slide.
Well thats one way to greet your fiancée. I got up, covered in bubbles, and slaped Brooks across the face, not hard but just enough to get across my point. 'Oohs' rose from the crowd. I turned around and looked at the turn out, there was Joe and Sarah, Hayley and Dustin and their 2 kids, Bailey, 5, Violet, 2 as well as a few freinds from Uni including Amber. Brooks parents and his sister Madison, Todd and their kids Chloe was now 12 and Scott was 10.
Wow, "I'll be right back, I'll just go and get changed in to something more, aproprate," I said guesturing to my soapy work gear. They all laughed and I went inside. I pulled on my bikiny and a pair of old ripped jeans and came running back out. I got caught out by the temperature, with it the first month of winter we were lucky if the tempurature was above 20*C. I pushed back the goose bumps and ran, throwing myself down the slip 'n' slide.

This went on for hours, well after the sun went down, big flood lights came on and everyone was having a bit to drink and all the kids were hyped up on soft drink, Even Chloe was running with the 2 year olds. I was onto my 4th maybe 5th beer for the night when I walked over to Hayley after seeing that she was only drinking small amount of soft drink.
"What do you think you are doing girlie, where is your drink?" I said offering her a XXXX.
She just shook her head and replied, "I can't Aud," she said with that look in her eye.
"You don't mean?" I asked putting my hands through my hair,"Your pregnant?" I whispered.
Tears came to her eyes and she nodded, "Dustin doesn't know yet!" she whispered back.
I did a little cheer and looked over at Dustin, he was happily dancing in the middle of the dance floor. I just laughed.
"And soon you and Brooks will be married and you will have little ones running around too," she said all gushy.
"Haha, yeah," I said rubbing my rough hand over the back of my neck.
She just smiled knowingly.
Then out of no where I heard a ute raw to life, then high beams coming around the corner blinding every one. Then the lights were gone and the ute had been turned off and Brooks jumped up on the tray with a micro phone and screamed, "KARAOKE!"

Best Birthday Ever!
