Chapter 26 - Happy Birthday

*Y/N's POV *

"Where have you been?" My princess asks as I'm coming in to work a bit late after my lunch hour. "I've been calling you non stop for the last half hour... " she adds looking suspiciously at the cardboard box I'm carrying in my arms. "What is that?" she asks, almost disgusted at the object. I love how she gets mad every time something doesn't go as planned, like me taking longer at my lunch break...

"This my love, is your birthday present," I answer reluctantly, placing the box gently on top of her desk.

"What is it?" she asks and is about to add something in an annoyed tone when she gets interrupted by a gentle sound, "miaw" accompanied by a little romping around inside the box. Her widened eyes raise to mine immediately, obviously realizing what her gift is, looking like an adorably surprised happy child.

"Nooo... " she says, not believing, motioning to open the box, "you did not.."

"Yes?! " I say, not very confident. Watching her picking the tiny kitten up, freeing it out of it's temporary prison.

Her heart melts as it's little black paws land sweetly on her chest and it looks at her with the most deep blue eyes. After hearing Mutt talk about Wilhemina wanting to get a cat, the idea of giving her one as a birthday gift had stuck into my mind. So I picked up a little, entirely black, kitten from a pet rescue organization and bought it a purple collar to give her.

"Happy Birthday," I say lovingly, now sure that she is happy about her present.

"How did you know?" she asks with her full attention on the little kitty, as she keeps on petting it non-stop. Her facial expression is pure bliss.

"A little asshole-ish bird told me..." I say, knowing she'll get who I'm talking about.

"But anyway," I add, "Remember when I asked you to move in and you didn't exactly loved it?" I ask and she deverts her attention to me. She looks a little worried and I can sense that she is about to say sorry, so I add, "I want you to know that I have no problem with that... You can take all the time and make any decision you want to, when you want to," I say and she smiles at me, relieved that I don't put pressure on her.

"Thank you," she mouths as she looks back at the kitten lovingly.

"This baby is now yours, until you want to make her ours...okay?" I whisper and she nods, endeared. "Bring her in when you want to make that change... And you have to name her..."

"She's going to be a 'Lilac'!" she says very confidently, holding her up in her arms by her little body and looking deep into her blue eyes. "And she's a strong independent woman, aren't you?" she says lovingly, adding a baby-voice at the end of the sentence and the kitten rubs her head on her hands like a toddler asking for mommy's cuddles. Mina melts once again at the sweetness of this little creature.

"She will be... someday..." I say, referring to the independent side of baby Lilac, "so, we are taking the day off to go settle the new baby at your place... Do some food and toys shopping for her, a scratcher, litter box, carrier... "

Mina looks at me lovingly and nods, holding the kitten laying in her arms like a baby. They were made for each other... Jackpot

"And since we can't go out for your birthday now," I say pointing at Lilac, "I thought, to celebrate your birthday at least a little bit, we are going to make the day 100% yours," I say and she looks at me questionly so I add, "you decide what we do and I'll do anything you want me to... You chose the food and the wine. I'll do the dishes and the litter box. You want a massage? No problem. You want me to feed you grapes and fan the air to you with a palm frond? Here we go," I say jokingly and she chuckles, "You decide, my little birthday princess... You are in charge."
