Okay

Birthday

A/N  Hey, long time no see... I'm so sorry I've been really busy, but here is the oneshot I wrote on my birthday about a month ago, I really wish I could of had it ready to post then.

Paul felt himself sigh as he slowly registered the feeling of being awake. He felt around him, feeling the soft duvet around him that was still warm, the warmth circulating from him to it. He smiled as he registered something else, Emma was pressed up against his back as per usual, her face laying limp in between the two pillows, absolutely out of it, looking absolutely adorable if you asked Paul.

He chuckled to himself as he thought about how she could fall asleep in the weirdest ways, as well as how tired she must have been to fall asleep like that. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her though, she would have a sore neck today.

He let himself relax once he had taken in his surroundings, revelling in the warmth of the sheets and Emma, letting himself feel at peace as he appreciated his life.

It took a while for him to feel Emma begin stir, but he felt it as she subconsciously began to pull herself closer to him.

He smiled, turning himself around carefully to face her and cuddle her back, it was then he noticed her eyes were open, a relaxed smile on her face as she looked over at him, "good morning" she whispered, her eyes shutting briefly as she adjusted to being awake.

"Good morning" he repeated a smile coming to his face also, god he loved this woman.

"Happy birthday" she added on after a moment of blissful silence between them.

Paul smiled, this was already the best birthday ever.

"I love you" he couldn't help but say in response.

He watched as her face morphed into a smile again a glimmer in her eye as she registered his words.

"I love you too Paul"

His grin got bigger as he heard her repeat his words, "you love me?" He asked her, his signature big doofus grin planted on his face.

"Yeah, don't fucking tell anyone" she laughed.

Paul shook his head, the grin never leaving his face, "I'd never."

He leaned over and connected his lips to hers feeling her smile against him before pushing into it more.

God this was his life.

How did he get so lucky?

Sadly he still had to go to work for the day, but Emma had had a later start at beanies today so he was thankful they got to spend a portion of the morning together.

Emma cooked them some pancakes for his birthday along with making him a cup of coffee, forcing him to relax as she did everything for him, he couldn't help but think how lucky he was to have her.

Then when the time came for him to go she kissed him goodbye, promising to bring coffee over on his break.

Then when he was gone Emma immediately began her preparation, grabbing flour, sugar, butter, eggs and all the shit to bake a cake, mixing away as she chucked it all into a bowl.

She hummed along to music as she baked, allowing herself to let loose a little as she got into her element.

She couldn't wait to see Paul's reaction, he thought she had a short shift at beanies before class, but she pulled some strings and managed to not only get the day off from work, but also got Hidgens to change around some class times do she could make this day special for Paul.
