"You've saved me over and over again."--Ambrose

September 20th, 2983

"Happy birthday Princess."

Ambrosia smiles up at her Papa with her baby teeth showing, Ambrose rocks his daughter in his arms as her fingers are gently tugging at his earrings. He hasn't taken them out since Jax first found out about them, when he gets out of the shower, on the rare occasion he showers alone, the diamonds are glistening, and he watches as Jax shudders when he sees them. Jax comes over next to them to kiss Sia's cheek as he wraps his arms around Ambrose's waist from behind. "Hey Sia, we have to get you dressed for your party. Can you dress her? I want to hop in the shower before we go."

"Of course."

Jax sighs and brushes Sia's hair out of her face, the brown shimmering nicely in the light. "You have the best Papa you know. Okay, I'll be back."

By the time Jax comes back, only fifteen minutes later, Sia has been changed and dressed with little bows in her hair. Jax got her a pair of pink sneakers that she has on because she is now walking, she still has to have someone hold her hand as she walks but their baby girl is walking, nonetheless. "You look so cute my Lil' Boss."

"Lil' Boss? When did that nickname come up?" Ambrose chuckles.

"Well she's already bossy like her Papa, you're the Boss so she's Lil' Boss. Come on my bosses, we have a party to get to!"

Sia was more interested in painting with her birthday cake than eating it, but everyone thought it was super cute. Ambrose leans down to scoop some in her mouth, she thought her Papa needed a makeover and starts painting his face with the cake. Jaxin laughs and takes a few pictures of the scene before Ambrose walks over to him, already Jax knows what he's trying to do and he backs up but Ambrose catches him around the waist and nuzzles his face with his cheek, spreading the icing and cake on Jax's face as well.

"Amby!"

"It's Sia's fault! She started it!"

"How dare you blame our daughter."

"Da! Si!" Sia screeches and holds her hands out from her highchair. They couldn't figure out why their daughter called Ambrose Si instead of Papa, either way, it was cute.

"Yeah, princess?" Ambrose and Jax move to where Sia is and she holds her hands out with little pieces of cake in them, when they lean down further she puts them in her parents' mouth and giggles when Jax lightly bites her finger. "Thank you."

When she was done she held her hands out again and shook them. "Dirt."

"It's not dirt sweet pea, it's just cake that's messy. Let Papa clean you up, Dad has to get something. I'll be back darling."

Jax planned to have today be Sia's birthday party but also Ambrose's. A while back he and Ambrose had been joking about starting a business, little did he know that Jax took that joke to heart and decided to do just that. When he comes back to the building Ambrose is chasing Sia around the room while she is shrieking and laughing, he notices Jax come back, and he lights up and snatches Sia in his arms. "Hey, is everything okay? You were gone for a while."

"I'm good. I made Sia's birthday party here because I had something to show you, since your birthday is soon I thought today I could make your birthday party too, and I want to show you your present. I had to have the family help a bit; I think you'll like it."
