His Lost Trouble

Chapter 24

"Wake up Trouble," Amy groaned as Gabe's voice slowly woke her. She felt the bed shift and hands started rubbing her back. She moaned and heard his voice chuckle. "Don't you want to see what we got Little One?"

"Five more minutes," She moaned as he continued to rub her back. "Oh Meanie."

"Five more minutes but then you are getting up," He said rubbing her back.

"Lay with me," She pouted wrapping her arm around his hip.

"I got some more decorations to put up but I'll send one of the others to come cuddle with you, okay?" he asked and she nodded. He kissed the top of her head and she raised her head making him chuckle. He gently kissed her lips then nose then forehead and she laid back down with a smile on her lips. She heard him leave and started to drift back to sleep. She heard the door open and then the bed moved.

She scooted closer and recognized North. "Mhmmm North," She mumbled as she moved her head to rest on his chest.

"We not wanting to wake up just yet Baby?" He chuckled and she shook her head. "Alright, you can hide away from Gabe's decoration frenzy for just a little longer but eventually you are going to have to see what he's up to."

"Five more minutes," She mumbled into his shirt. He kissed the top of her head and gently stroked her hair. "Mhmmm," She moaned in appreciation and squeezed him making him smile. When she loosened her grip he glanced down to find her fast asleep. He could definitely get hooked to having her in his arms. He continued to stroke her hair while she slept. The door opened after some time and he raised his finger to motion to be quiet.

"You have maybe an hour tops before he comes in here to wake her," Brandon whispered.

"Alright," North nodded and Brandon left. He kissed the top of her head and gently started rubbing her back. "Come on Baby, it's time to rise and shine. We need to go celebrate our daughter's birthday and we need to go make sure Gabe hasn't gone over the top."

"Five more minutes," She mumbled and he chuckled.

"Come on Baby," He smirked as he kissed her forehead as he rolled her onto her back. "It's time to wake up and celebrate our daughter's birthday."

"Is she awake?" She huffed refusing to open her eyes.

"No," He admitted.

"Then it's not time to wake up," She moved her arms over her eyes. The door flung open and North chuckled. "I'm up Meanie, I'm up."

"How the fuck did you know it was me?" Gabe chuckled as he came in.

"Only you would be this excited this early in the morning," She mumbled. "Watch your mouth."

"Alright, alright," He gently pulled her arms off her eyes. "Come on Trouble. Get up and come see what I've created."

"Fine," She huffed then smiled, "She's not going to believe it is she?"

"Oh no," Gabe beamed. "Now come on, Marc is already making chocolate chip pancakes for when she wakes up and Luke is putting the last touches on the cakes and cupcakes."

"Cakes AND cupcakes?" She asked shocked and Gabe nodded. "Oh goodness, Meanie."

"No Trouble," Gabe shook his head, "She's our daughter too. Let us do this."

"I can't really say no anyway, you've already done it," She sighed. "It's kind of pointless anyway now."

"Exactly," He smiled, "Now come on, time for breakfast."

"Oh my god Gabriel," She gasped as they came down the stairs to see all the Care Bear and My Little Pony decorations everywhere. She entered the kitchen and gasped again seeing the three tiered cake with both cartoon characters on it as well as cupcakes with them. "Luke," she whispered looking at everything.

"Think she will like it?" Luke chuckled.

"She's going to flip out," Amy smiled. "This is beyond her imagination."

"I'm glad," He smiled as he finished the last cupcake.

"This is going to be the best birthday ever," She shook her head. "How do you expect to top this next year? Or any year after this?"

"Oh we can," Gabe smirked, "We will have more time to plan for one thing. This is minor sh...stuff. I could have done so much more if I had more time to plan."

"Sorry," She frowned looking down at the ground.

"Hey now, I didn't mean it like that," He said pulling her into his arms. "I'm glad we know, I would have been so hurt if we missed her birthday."

"I'm sorry," She mumbled into his shirt. "I'm just—"

"I know Trouble," He nodded. "It doesn't matter anyway now, we know, I worked my magic, and now she is going to have the best birthday ever."

"Exactly," She smiled as she hugged him.

"Color?" He asked softly.

"Purple," She smiled.

"I'm glad," He kissed her nose. "Now go eat while I double check everything."

"Eat with her," Luke shook his head, "Kota is already checking everything."

"MOMMY!"
