Who Would Have Guessed?

Ch. 16: The Birthday Boy

March 3rd

"Wake up birthday boy" I whispered in Jayson's ear as I sat on top of him in bed. His lips curved into a smile as he woke out of his sleep. His hands began to slide up and down my sides.

"Now this is a good morning" he said making us both laugh.

"You're 25 babe! How does it feel?" I asked.

"The same" he said and then laughed. I giggled and kissed his lips.

"I'm so excited for today" I said.

"Yeah? What you got planned?" He asked.

"You'll just have to wait and see. Come on, Deuce and I made breakfast for you" I said and climbed off of him.

He went into the bathroom as I exited the bedroom to make sure his plate was ready.

"Daddy's coming Deuce" I said to him. He nodded and got his present and card for Jayson ready on the table. Soon after, Jayson appeared in the kitchen and Deuce leaped into his arms.

"Happy Birthday Daddy!!" He yelled.

"Thanks little man" Jayson said hugging him.

"We made you breakfast!" Deuce said.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, Deuce made the pancakes all by himself" I said.

"Is that right" Jayson said looking down at Deuce who nodded with a proud smile on his face.

"Well let's eat then" Jayson said sitting in his seat. I sat his plate in front of him and got him his orange juice before sitting Deuce's plate in front of him and getting my own.

"You have to open your presents" Deuce said.

"After breakfast buddy" Jayson said. Deuce and Jay went back and forth talking about basketball as we ate. Once we were done, I rinsed the plates and placed them in the dish washer.

"Here open it!" Deuce said passing Jayson the wrapped present. Jayson opened it and found a deck of cards with different pictures of them posted on it.

"Aww Deuce" Jayson said and pulled him onto his lap.

"You like it?!" Deuce asked.

"I love it, thank you" he said kissing his cheek.

"Here's my card for now, you'll get the rest of your gifts later" I said winking at him and sliding the card over. He opened it and began to read what I had written.

Dear Jayson,

What more can I say about you that I haven't already expressed? I absolutely adore the person that you are. You are kind, full of love and warmth, and you make me feel like a Queen each day. I hope that I also make you feel like a King as I strive to do that everyday. I love you baby and I'm happy you were put on this Earth. Happy Birthday Big Deuce.

Love,                                                                                                                                                                                    Cam

He smiled and gave me an unreadable look after.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I'm not trying to get all emotional but, that was a beautiful card Cam. Especially what you wrote. Thank you baby. I love you." he said grabbing onto my hand to pull me over so he could kiss me.
