"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" A mixture of Rhyan and Kazimirs friends and family sang, their faces flushed with joy while little mazi stared ahead, wide eyed. His big Doe eyes bounced from face to face, trying to take it all in , until a gummy smile spread across his chubby cheeks.
Rhyan stood off to the side, smiling as she recorded everything on her phone, she wanted to catch every second. She was full and her heart couldn't hold all the happiness at once. A whole year with her baby, it felt surreal if she was honest.
"Yaaaay!" Everyone cheered as they ended off the happy birthday song, clapping happily. Mazi blinked, then started to clap too which only made everyone laugh.
"I know the birthday boy want some birthday cake now don't he." Kazimir scooped up his son, carrying him over to the three tier cake, sitting proudly on the table. They both were extra, so of course Mazi's cake had to be extravagant.
His birthday didn't even exactly had a theme since Rhyan was so indecisive. She had went back and forth a thousand times. So the party theme was just.... Birthday. Colorful, bright, and very kid like. It made sense anyways because mazi didn't even have a set character he liked.
"Don't put my baby face in no cake, Kazimir. I swear to—" she started, already getting started on cussing him out.
He was used to it and quickly turned to her, "I'm not! I'm not! Dangggg, you stay ready to cuss me out." Kazimir just cut his eyes at her with a smirk, picking up the cake cutter with his free hand.
"Because you be doing dumb stuff," she muttered, even though she really wasn't upset.
Kazimir just shook his head, shifting Mazi on his hip. "Aight, big man," he said softly, bringing him closer to the cake. "You ready?" He closely looked at his son.
Mazi reached out immediately, tiny fingers grabbing at the icing before anybody could stop him. His whole hand sank into the soft frosting.
"Oh my God—!" Rhyan laughed, the camera shaking slightly as she zoomed in. "Look at him!"
Kazimir let out a laugh, not even trying to stop it. "See, I ain't have to do nothin'. He did it himself." Mazi pulled his hand back, staring at the frosting covering his fingers like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.
Then without hesitation he shoved it straight into his mouth. "Oh my gosh! Daddy look, mazis eating the cake." Jouri erupted, jumping up and down beside her dad. She adored her little brother.
"I see baby." Kaz grinned, his voice warms. "Chilllll," he laughed, gently pulling mazis frosting covered hand away from his mouth before he could go back in for another handful.
Mazi let out a tiny protest, a soft whine slipping past his lips as he reached forward again, determined.
"Uh-uh," Kazimir shook his head, shifting him slightly on his hip. "You greedy already. We ain't even cut it yet."
