birthday celebrations

'Morning, my love...' Lia says softly, her fingers running down the blonde's cheek.

'Morning.' Leah replies smiling as she stares up at the brunette.

'Happy birthday, pretty girl.' Lia whispers against her lips causing her to smile into the kiss. Her arms wrap around the brunette, pulling her down until she's lying on her chest.

'How are you feeling?' Leah asks softly, her hands brushing up and down Lia's back.

'Shouldn't I be asking you that?' Lia asks, a small smile on her face as she glances up at the blonde.

'I'm good, not in too much pain. Happy to be waking up to your beautiful face.' Leah replies moving some hair out of Lia's face.

'My boobs hurt.' Lia admits.

'Yeah? That can be a good sign right?' Leah asks and Lia shrugs her shoulders.

'Could be but could also just be a sign that I'm due on.' Lia replies.

'Well let's just focus on the good and think that maybe this could be something...' Leah says smiling.

'Mm-hmm... Wait here. I don't want you to move a muscle, okay?' Lia asks watching the blonde bite her bottom lip.

'What if I need to pee?' Leah says, a small smile on her face.

'Do you need to pee?' Lia asks.

'Nah, I'm messing... I'll stay right here.' Leah says softly.

'Okay... I'll be back in five.' Lia replies pressing a kiss to the blonde's head before climbing off the bed. She makes her way out of the bedroom and Leah carefully pushes herself into a sitting position. She reaches across for her phone as it vibrates on the bedside table and her mum's name flashes up on the screen.

'Hey, mum...' Leah says smiling as she answers the phone and holds it up to her ear.

'Happy birthday, bubba...' Amanda says.

'Thanks, mum. Am I seeing you today?' Leah asks.

'Yeah, I'll try pop over at some point this afternoon.' Amanda replies.

'You need to be careful with Auntie Lele... No climbing all over her, okay?' Beth says as she places Piper down on the floor and watches her immediately run towards where the blonde is sitting on the sofa.

'Can you get on your own, PJ?' Leah says reaching out to rest her hand on the little girl's back as she climbs onto the sofa.

'Owie better?' Piper asks gesturing to Leah's leg which is resting on the footstool.

'Not yet... The doctors have tried to make it all better but we've still got to wait a while until I can run around with you again. Auntie Wawa will just need to be the fun one for now until I earn that title back.' Leah replies smiling as she kisses the top of the little girl's head.

'Do you want to give Auntie Lele her present?' Beth asks watching the little girl nod her head. Passing the little girl the pink giftbag, Beth smiles as she leans down to hug the blonde.

'Happy birthday, Le... Vivi and I got you a little something but we'll let Piper go first because she's been really excited.' Beth says softly causing Leah to smile.

'For you day!' Piper says holding the bag out to Leah causing her to laugh slightly.

'She can't say birthday yet so we've been calling it your day.' Vivianne explains.

'How cute.' Lia says softly. Smiling Leah reaches into the gift bag and pulls a rectangle cardboard box out.

'There is a story behind this... We weren't going to get these and it's not something we expect you to wear or anything but we thought it would be cute for a picture and you did like it when we showed you.' Beth explains causing the blonde to raise her eyebrows slightly. Opening the box, she unwraps the tissue paper inside and can't help but smile as she takes in the content. The first item is a small pink t-shirt with the words 'Auntie's Bestie' printed across the front while folded underneath is a black t-shirt with 'Auntie' printed across it.
