"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" the kids all yelled at once as we walked in, the decorations were set up, and the cake looked..amazing. "Were you in on this?!" Alma asks me with a chuckle. "Of course." I say with an eye roll. She just smiles as she looks to the kids. "Thank you all so much..it's not that special." Alma says with a slight giggle. Protests were loudly made from the crowd of kids, including me. "Alright alright shush! Let's get cake now, I'm practically starving." Alma groans. "So...are you Mrs. Peregrine now?" Emma asks Alma in line for cake. "Of course idiot, why wouldn't I have said yes." Alma says with a chuckle.
"Happy birthday lovebird." I say with a smile as we wash plates after everyone finished. "I appreciate it..really." Alma says, her voice cracking near the end. I look up and she's crying. "Awww..don't cry baby." I say as I set down the dish I was working on and pulled her into a hug. "My birthday hasn't been celebrated in fifty years..I would always put down the kids when they tried." Alma mutters into my neck as she cries. "Well, I'll make sure it'll be celebrated for another fifty hundred thousand years. And I'll make it special every year." I say as I rub up and down her back. She just cries even harder. "Let's forget about the dishes for now, shall we?" I ask as in one swift motion I pick her up off her feet. "Any day.." Alma mumbles, still having her head in my neck.
She lays on top of me in bed, running her hands through my hair. She pecks my cheek every once and a while, showing really how grateful she is. I just stared up at her, thinking back through life with her. I'm content with life, for once, everything is okay.
