The smell of pancakes and eggs wafted through the sun lit home, being carried in the gentle breeze up the stairs and through the cracked open door of the second bedroom. The sweet scent swirled in the air across the room, hitting the young red head who sat with her legs crossed on her light pink bedding, waiting for her mother to call her down the stairs.

Excitedly, the young girl, just ten years old, closed her eyes imagining the breakfast that was being prepared by her mothers in the kitchen for her birthday celebrations and after what seemed like a life time, the young girl heard her name being called from the bottom of the stairs.

Instantly, she climbed off her bed, hurrying out of her room and down the set of stairs that led to the front door of her home, blindly running passed the suitcase which stood against the wall, her attention caught by the colourful balloons that littered the floor like a ball pit that led her to the kitchen.

"Happy birthday, Inanna" The young girls mothers shouted as she slid into the kitchen, gripping the door frame to stabilise herself before she crashed into the kitchen counter.

Inanna ducked her head shyly and her mother, Iris, ran around the kitchen counter, pulling her young daughter into a hug as she pressed kisses onto the top of her head, unable to wipe the large smile which had plastered onto her face when she had began baking with her girlfriend. "Happy birthday, baby" Iris tickled Inanna behind her ear making her squirm out of her hold with a giggle.

Inanna's mother, Marnie, who still stood by the counter, watching the interaction, picked up her son, sitting him on the kitchen counter next to her, secretly passing the small child a piece of pancake to keep him quiet for a moment longer.

"Thank you" Inanna mumbled as Iris tucked her daughters red hair, which matched her own, behind her ear.

"Before you have breakfast, do you want to have one of your presents?" Iris asked with a beaming smile.

Inanna hesitantly nodded, although she could feel her stomach churning hungrily, she desperately wanted to know what her parents had gotten her for her tenth birthday.

Iris set her hand on Inanna's shoulder, keeping her still while using her other hand to beckon someone else into the room.

The room fell silent for a moment, but as a familiar deep voice came from behind her, Inanna's eyes widened and she turned instantly, unable to contain her joy.

Stood in the doorway, holding a wrapped present was Inanna's father, who crouched down, sitting the present on the floor next to him before opening his arms.

"Happy Birthday, sweet girl" Jonny said with a slight tilt of his head.

Inanna left her mother's side, running into her father's arms. Inanna wrapped her arms around his neck, leaning her head against his shoulder and Jonny patted her back, mumbling how much he loved her as he stood up again, lifting his daughter up with him.
