"You're going to get cold, Olivia" He smiled down at the little girl - for some reason, she couldn't see his face.

"I'll be fine silly" The little girl giggled as they walked into the house. "Besides, I have a surprise for you and maman"

"Agneau, is that you?" The little girl's mother came to the door, a worried look on her face.

Just like her father, she couldn't make out the features of her mother's face either. But she was too caught up in the moment to realize.

"Yes, maman. I have a surprise for you" The girl giggled as her father walked through the door.

Tears filled the mothers eyes and her hands clasped in front of her mouth. Her father chuckled, scooping the woman into a hug before twirling her around while the little girl stared up at her parents with love and admiration.

"I want someone to love me like papa loves you when I grow up" The girl smiled, her dimples prominent on both sides of her cheeks as her parents chuckled.

"What are you doing here, Felix? I thought you had work" The woman said as her husband wiped away the tears from her face.

"I had to make it for my little girl's10th birthday" Felix chuckled, scooping the little black haired girl into his arms, seating her on his left arm.

"Plus, I missed a certain grumpy woman" He smirked.

"I am not grumpy" The lady scowled causing Felix to let out a low chuckle.

"You are very grumpy - that's where Olivia gets it from - but that's one of the things I love the most about you, Elaine," Felix smiled, pressing his lips to his wife's.

"Ew" The girl giggled, squirming in her father's arms. "Can I open my presents now?"

Her parents chuckled, pulling away before the three of them headed to the living room where a lot of presents lay wrapped on the floor.

"All of this for me?" The girl squealed as her father brought her to the ground.

"Nothing is too good for my fée" The man chuckled as he and his wife sat on a couch, watching her open her presents.

"Are you baking something, Elaine?" Felix asked, looking at his wife who shook her head no.

"It's nothing. Don't worry," The girl assured, giggling at her parent's confusion.

That was part of her surprise for her parents.

A few minutes passed as the girl opened all her presents - there were 10 in total. One for each year she had lived so far.

By the time she had opened all of her presents, she was surrounded by different expensive items; story books, puzzles, Legos, even a huge doll house, rather a doll mansion, that had a pool and everything.

The girl was used to being lavished with expensive gifts though as her father was very rich. She didn't know what exactly he did as work but what she did know was that he made a LOT of money from it.

One of the other gifts she had received was the pair of gold round glasses that she had been wanting to ask her parents for as she noticed her eyesight was deteriorating.

"How did you know?" She asked her father who just winked at her.

"It's called papa's intuition" He chuckled as his wife rolled her eyes.
