Kaimana Valencia | February 1996

"Happy birthday, my big girl." Kaimana swooped Zaiyah up into her arms. "You're one now, my love. One years old. Bloody hell, you're growing so quickly."

Zaiyah's two front baby teeth shined through her jaunty giggle, clapping her hands together. "Mama," she babbled.

"No, baby, it's your birthday," Kaimana murmured, and laid Zaiyah down on her double bed to change her. "Yes, yes it is."

"Happy birthday, pretty gem." Meleah appeared from the bathroom with a bright smile and dipped her head down to kiss Zaiyah's cheek.

Zaiyah said something incoherently back, but she was so smiley.

"Any plans for her birthday?" Meleah asked as she took her top off to change.

"Not really," Kaimana responded honestly, changing Zaiyah's diaper. "I might skip classes just to stay with her. I asked the elves to make a cake for her, and that's not until the dinner feast."

"It's also Valentine's Day, so I reckon the castle will be subtly decorated with Valentine's stuff," Meleah mentioned as she slipped into her uniform skirt. "I've bought Luna some chocolates."

Kaimana grinned cheekily. "Did you now?" She stepped to the dresser to pick out an outfit for Zaiyah.

"I did." Meleah's cheeks tinted red. "And flowers, but that's besides the point." She pulled her shoulder-length hair back into a low ponytail before pulling baby hairs out.

Kaimana changed Zaiyah as she conversed with her roommate. She put Zaiyah in a pair of white tights, a pink shirt with red stars, a pair of brown boots, and a cute red tutu; in honour of Valentine's Day.

"I'm oddly hungry this morning," Meleah said as they walked down the girls' dormitory stairs.

"Too much masturbating at three in the morning can do that to a girl." Kaimana put Zaiyah down once they got to the bottom of the stairs. "Let's have you walk, baby."

She felt Zaiyah's small, chubby fingers wrap around two of her own fingers as she waddled next to Kaimana's legs. "I think the guys and Ais and Lani are in the Great Hall already," Kaimana said as they walked slowly for Zaiyah.

The three of them walked to the Great Hall, Kaimana having to carry Zaiyah when they went down the moving steps. And then when they got onto the ground, she let Zaiyah walk some more.

Zaiyah let go of Kaimana's fingers to clap, giggling vivaciously when she saw the Valentine's Day decorations in the corridor. There was red and pink ribbon with white balloons decorated.

"Isn't it pretty, darling?" Kaimana crooned to her baby, walking closely to her. Zaiyah responded by clapping and laughing.

Instead of holding Kaimana's fingers, Zaiyah held onto her mum's leg as they walked all the way to the Great Hall.

"Happy birthday to you." Quinn scooped Zaiyah into his arms and hugged her close once the three of them reached the table. He kissed her cheek and handed her a pink rose. "You look so adorable in your tutu, sweet munchkin."

Zaiyah beamed and held the rose, swinging it around because she did not know what a rose was.

"And Happy Valentine's Day to you, ladies." Quinn handed Meleah and Kaimana both a beautiful red rose.

"Thanks, Q." Kaimana kissed his cheek gently before sitting down next to him. Zaiyah was sitting on his lap as he sat back down.

It was a thing the guys did for the girls. It was just a sweet gesture they did, which was to give them something small and dainty for Valentine's Day. It varied between a single rose, a small bouquet for each, a box of delectable chocolates or treats, or maybe even something like a book or a cosmetic product.
