Highschool Lovers

Birthday for the sassy girl

"I can't believe our little Mia is one already!" I exclaim as I set up the decorations. Brightly colored balloons float above and a vibrant 'Happy Birthday' banner flutters gently in the breeze. I step back, admiring the pastel-themed living room filled with presents.

"Mia's going to love this," Adrien adds, a smile spreading across his face as he kneels to secure a balloon. His green eyes gleam with excitement, and I can't help but notice how Mia has inherited that same spark. "Look at her," he chuckles softly, glancing at our daughter, who is already being game for a bit of mischief.

Mia, our adorable mini-me with her tousled blond hair and those huge green eyes, stands in her playpen, trying to wriggle her way out. "Mama! Dada!" she chirps, her voice filled with baby sass, and we can hardly contain our laughter.

"Okay, little one, just a few more minutes," I say, pretending to be stern, which makes her giggle and shake her head like she understands the joke.

Just then, the door swings open. "Y/n! Adrien! We're here!" My sister Avery bursts into our home with her husband Cody right behind her, followed by their energetic twin girls, Tasha and Tayla.

"Surprise!" the twins shout in unison, waving their little pink gift bags. They have this innate ability to amplify joy, and I can already picture them infiltrating our celebration with their contagious enthusiasm.

"Mia!" Tasha squeals, and the twins rush toward her playpen.

"Happy Birthday, baby cousin!" Tayla adds, bouncing with excitement.

"Uh-oh, I think Mia is in for some trouble," I say, laughing as she reaches out her arms to the twins, enthralled by their energy.

As we settle in, the doorbell rings again. "That's probably my parents!" I declare, and Adrien rushes to open the door. Moments later, both sets of grandparents arrive, arms overflowing with wrapped gifts.

"Mia, look what Grandma and Grandpa brought for you!" my mom exclaims, presenting an oversized gift with a big red bow.

"Oh my gosh, I can't believe you guys!" I gawk as I notice the growing mountain of presents in our living room. "How many gifts did you all bring?"

"It must be over fifty by now!" Adrien laughs, glancing at the bulging pile.

"Trust me, it's just a small token of love for our little granddaughte"r, my dad interjects with mock seriousness. "Even in philanthropy, we take our duties seriously."

Mia, undeterred by the number of gifts, begins to shimmy in excitement. "Shiny, shiny!" she giggles, clapping her tiny hands.

Finally, we gather everyone around, and I bring Mia to the center of the room, where the cake sits proudly on the table. "Okay, everyone, ready for the big moment?" I turn to Adrien, who is already beaming like a proud father.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" he declares.

"Okay, on the count of three!" I announce, raising my hand. "One... two... three!"

In a chorus of cheers, we light the candles and begin to sing her a jubilant rendition of 'Happy Birthday.' Mia's eyes widen with delight, and she claps along, all sass, diva-like from the start.

"Blow them out, sweetheart!" I encourage her, and with a determined puff, she miraculously blows out the candles, to everyone's astonishment.

"Yay! Mia did it!" the twins shout, bounding up to her with excitement. In their bouncing, they manage to knock one of the balloons loose, sending it to dance around the room.

"Look! A balloon!" Tayla screams, and the girls chase after it, laughing.

"Mia, cake time!" Adrien cheers, cutting into the fluffy confection before handing Mia a piece that she immediately smushes into her little fingers.

"She's such a sassy eater!" Avery laughs as Mia tries to shove the frosting in her mouth but ends up with it all over her face. It's a mess, but I can't help but take a picture.

"Mama, sticky!" Mia giggles, smeared with frosting and joy.

"Sticky and fabulous, just like her dad!" I retort playfully.

Hours pass as we enjoy family banter, laughter filling the air. There are games, gift openings, and moments that I wish would last forever as everyone takes turns playing with Mia.

"Look, sweetie," Adrien says, peering down at her as she holds onto a colorful rattle that one of the grandparents gifted her. "You just got your very own raven!"

"That's right! Think of it as your very own pet," I add, wrenching Mia's attention with the rattle.

The afternoon rolls on, and we finally reach the grand finale: the present opening. A chorus of excitement resonates through the room as the twins help Mia tear through the wrapping paper.

"This one's from me!" says Cody, his voice booming over the noise.

"Open it, Mia!" the twins echo, practically dancing in place in their eagerness.

Mia, with the spirit of a true diva, rips the paper and unveils a shiny musical toy. "Wow!" she exclaims, eyes wide and hungrily glancing from toy to the next.

"Another hit!" I declare, and soon all eyes are back on the growing pile. "Remember, Mia, each one is a new adventure."

"Mia, you're so popular!" Avery giggles.

With every gift that she opens, a chorus of laughter and joy follows. "Oops! Looks like we have one of those fancy baby spoons!" I chuckle, holding up an intricately designed feeding set adorned with colorful patterns.

"Definitely too many toys!" Adrien teases, nudging my side, only for me to shoot him a mock glare. "Maybe I'll take away half?"

Mia's sass makes its grand appearance as she lets out an emphatic "No!" while pointing at her toys. Everyone bursts into laughter.

"Looks like you have your own little defender!" my mom smiles, ruffling Mia's hair.

As the celebration wanes into the evening, I take a moment to soak it all in. Surrounded by family, laughter, and endless love, I feel immensely grateful. "Mia," I whisper to her, who is now half-asleep in my arms, "you are our sassiest best gift ever."

Adrien smiles at the sight. "Yes, you are," he adds softly, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

And as I look around at the pile of presents and hear the lingering echoes of laughter, I know that today was not just about a birthday—it was about family, love, and the beautiful chaos that comes with it. Here's to many more sassy adventures ahead!
