Wednesday's POV

———————————
It's Xavier's 22nd birthday. We've been married for about two years. I woke up in our new house we bought a month ago.
It's a renovated victorian home that we fell in love with as soon as we toured it. It gave me a room to write my award winning novel about Viper, as well as a new project I'm working on.

It also gave room for Xavier to do his painting, earning a fare sum of money, he is a very known artist for making his paintings move.

It seems Enid and Ajax fell in love with the house next door. It had the exact exterior except it was painting in white, making it more lighter.
So on their 1 year wedding anniversary Ajax surprised Enid by buying it.

I opened my eyes and saw Xavier still asleep with his head on my chest. I moved my fingers through his hair and stayed there for 5 minutes before getting up.
Enid and Ajax were coming over to help me make breakfast for Xavier's birthday.
I heard a knock on the door and saw Enid and Ajax standing there with a pink wrapped gift, obviously curtesy of Enid.

I opened the door to be greeted with a hug from Enid. I hugged back now being used to more physical touch as an adult.
I even gave Ajax a short hug as we had become closer over the years.
"Xavier is so old!" Enid smiled sitting down at the kitchen bench while I started to make some pancakes.
"He's only 3 months older than me." I retorted.

I started making breakfast but mid way through I started to feel dizzy.
I rested my hand on the counter to steady myself.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ajax asked coming up to help me.
"I'm fine, I've felt dizzy the past few days." I said.
"Ok, if your sure." He said sitting back down next to Enid.

Enid gave me a worried look.
"Have you got the flu?" She asked.
"No, I have a strong immune system from having many diseases when I was young. Playing with toxic chemical at such a young age does that to you." I stated finishing off the pancakes.

"Ok.." Enid said suspicious. "Just go to the doctor if you feel worse."
"Yeah, don't want you passing out on your husband's birthday." Ajax laughed. Enid hit his arm annoyed.
"Hey! That hurt babe.."
The interaction made me smirk.

"Speaking of the birthday boy." Ajax smiled as Xavier walked down stairs rubbing his eyes.
"Morning all." He smiled kissing my head and sitting down.
"Happy birthday." I said.
"Happy birthday Xavier! Here's a present we picked out." Enid said giving him the pink present.

He opened the present to find some more of his favourite paints and sunglasses that Ajax obviously picked out.
"Thanks guys, I appreciate it." He smiled at the couple.
We all sat down at the dining table and ate breakfast.

"So, are you excited for your dinner party?" Enid asked. My family were holding this fancy dinner party, they do it for every family member's birthday. It's become very tiring every year but nonetheless we show up.
"I guess, last years was fun. Creepy though. But what else do you expect from the Addams." He said smiling at me and taking my hand.
"Hey, when are you giving me my present Nes?" He asks looking at me smugly.
