Imagines with Henry Cavill

One shot - The birthday boy

I was awoken by a slight dip in the mattress, then a very small (and cold) hand brushing the hair from my face.
'Hey bubs' I said as I rolled over to see my three year old daughter, Lucy sitting on top of the covers, on her dad's side of the bed. 'What's up?'
'I miss daddy' she said, her favourite teddy clutched under one arm while she rubbed her eyes with the other.
'I miss him too bubby.' I said, sitting up, allowing her to crawl onto my lap and rest her head on my shoulder. 'And do you know what today is?' I asked as I brushed her hair behind her ear 'It's daddy's birthday today.'
'Can we go see him?'
'Well, he's busy working on a movie today but I think he'll be okay with a visit from us!'
'Yay!' Lucy said as she sat up grinning at me, clapping her hands.
'I think we should get up and have some breakfast, put on some pretty clothes and then go surprise daddy for his birthday - what do you think?'
Lucy scrambled off the bed and ran out of the room to the kitchen, startling Kal in the process, causing him bark his annoyance in the process.

Henry was currently filming nearby but always left before we woke up and got home after we were asleep so never got to see him. I had managed to arrange a set visit but it was to be a secret from him. Thankfully Lucy was so excited about seeing her dad, she cooperated with me when it came to getting dressed and we were ready to go in a decent time.

We made it to the movie lot and were guided to the set, waiting to surprise Henry. When we saw him, Lucy went into a strange panic mode as he had a moustache and she had not seen him with one before. She cowered behind my leg crying at the site of her dad, with this weird facial hair.

Henry soon saw us and the joy on his face was contagious.
'Wha....? What are you guys doing here?' Henry said as he saw us and stopped in front of us
'Happy birthday daddy, someone wanted to come and see you.' I said as I looked down at the still hiding Lucy.
'Hi my baby girl!' Henry said as he knelt down to Lucy's level
She made a whiny sound and kept hiding
'It's me, daddy, there's no need to be scared.'
She looked up at me for reassurance. I nodded at her, and gently moved her towards Henry. He held his arms out to her as she stood in front of him. She hesitated for a brief moment before walking into his hug. He scooped her up as he stood up and they hugged tightly for what seemed like ages, before Lucy rested her head on his shoulder.
'Thank you for coming to see me, it's made my day.' Henry said wrapping his arm around me and kissing me
'It's your birthday, we had to come see you for your birthday! And we missed you.' I kissed him again and rested my head on his other shoulder as we had a family hug.

The director called for a break and we were able to go to Henry's trailer for some family time. Lucy had gotten over her initial fear of the facial hair, even touching it and was happy to stay cuddled up to her dad, sitting on his lap. We had brought some presents for him and a small cupcake so we could sing happy birthday to our favourite man.

All too soon it was time for Henry to get back to filming and for us to go home. Henry walked us to the car, well walked me to the car, as he carried Lucy. She didn't want to leave him and was silently crying, her head again on his shoulder, and two fingers in her mouth, which she often did as a comfort thing.
She threw her arms around him for one more very tight hug before she allowed him to put her in her car seat.
'I'll see you soon, baby girl. I love you.'
'I love you too, daddy.'
He closed the car door and turned to me
'Thank you for coming to visit, it was the best present I could have asked for.' Henry said, as he wrapped his arms around my waist and giving me one of his amazingly passionate kisses. 'I love you, you amazing woman.'
'I love you too, my sexy beast. Seeing you with this moustache is doing things to me, you might need to wake me up when you get home!' I winked at him, gently playing at the chest hair poking above his shirt
'Woah mumma!' He said, pulling me even closer, kissing me again
I laughed into the kiss and gently pushed him away.
'Easy Tiger, I need to get our child home for her nap or she'll be very grumpy tonight and there'll be no fun when you get home.'
Henry let me go and opened my car door, then closing it after I got in. I started the car and put down the window
'Drive carefully and I'll see you later. I love you.'
'Love you too.' I said
'LOVE YOU DADDY.' Lucy yelled from the back seat
'Love you my Lucy Goosey' he said as he looked into the car window at his daughter, blowing her a kiss, she blew him one back.
I made my way out of the lot as Henry watched, waving us off, a huge grin on his face, before he went back to the set to continue filming.
