My little Judith

Twenty-seven

Judith POV

Once we all finished breakfast we went to the living room where we sat around so I could open my presents. Everyone only gets me one or two gifts, my request because there's so many people and they love to go all out. So if I minimise them to only a couple gifts from each household there won't be as many. And that I'm too lazy to open them all.

From mum and dad I got bath stuff, bath bombs, bubble bath, bath salts, all that jazz. Face masks, a new bath robe, head band and candles so I could have my relaxing time. It's nothing major but they know I like my basic stuff, small things like this to me are more meaningful than hugely expensive gifts. What can I say? I'm simple and like the simple things in life. Also what gift they could've got me that was expensive, they spent on bath stuff. So it's a win, win really. I get my love of simple things but my parents go all out because they feel bad, which I reassure them they don't have to because I love my bath stuff.

From Lola, uncle Dustin and Ryker I got some new hair straighteners because mine were getting old. Lola actually burnt her hair off because of this. Again not over the top because I like simple and when Lola and I have girly nights she won't lose anymore hair. Thank the goddess for being supernatural because her hair took less than a week to grow back.

Uncle Toby and Tom and their mates got me some make up bits. I'm not overly a person who wants stuff and like my birthday and Christmas, I tend to say I don't want anything. But my family are big on spoiling whoever's birthday it is, they always get me something even if I don't need it. I'm still absolutely grateful for anything and will try to use it as much as I can. If not I put it away for when I do need it. Like when I first got with Adam, Lola got me condoms as a joke but we wanted to wait for our mates so we never used them.

Liana and Jeremy got me a charm to go on my bracelet. One thing I did ask from my parents one year was a bracelet to put charms on. I got a love heart. Cute, simple and I love it. Liana and Jeremy don't do simple, they like to over do everything which the family has all come to love and embrace. So I simply hug them and thank them. Shelby and Derek also got me a charm, because they see me as a granddaughter because my mum grew up with them for many centuries until she moved in with my dad. So they got me a granddaughter charm. Made me tear up because I also love my sentimental things and Shelby and Derek are very special to me.

Grandpa and Elena got me a hamper of different things. Some new pyjamas, candles, bath stuff, lip balms, and so much more in a beautiful basket. But of course they sneaked in a pair of earrings that I didn't notice until much later. To which I felt bad and sent them a message to thank them because I know earrings like that aren't cheap. I'd rather my family spend the money on more important things, but they always reply with, it's your birthday and our money so we decide if we want to spoil you or not.

And lastly, Alec. Alec got me something that I know cost nothing but he put so much love into it. A small wolf made from copper. The detail is so beautiful and so accurate it's unbelievable. It's no bigger than the palm of my hand, which my hands are quite small because I'm tiny myself. However the wolf looks so familiar but I can't place my finger on it.

So here I am, laying in Alec's bed while he was speaking to Marco and Whitney, trying to figure out why that wolf is so familiar. For half an hour now I've been laying here trying to put my finger on why it's familiar and I need Alec to come back so I can ask him. Yet speak of the devil and he shall appear. Or in this case, think of him and he'll appear.

"Where did you go?" He chuckled as he laid next to me, his hand on his head as he leaned over me.

"That wolf you made me." I looked up at him. "Why does it look so familiar. I swear I've seen it somewhere before and I can't put my finger on it."
