~the next day~

Nina came downstairs to Fabian already making breakfast for them. She smiled weakly.

"Hey" she said coming up behind him and kissing his cheek.
Fabian blushed and his ears turned red.

"Good morning to you too!" Fabian replied. "How did you sleep?" He asked.

Nina looked up and down then sat at the table.

"No comment" she said.

"I know, I heard you crying" Fabian said as settle as possible.

Nina buried her face into her hands.

"We'll that's embarrassing!" She exclaimed.

Fabian laughed setting two plates of pancakes, bacon and strawberries in front of Nina and his seat.

"This looks great babes!" She exclaimed.

Fabian further blushed and sat down beside her.

"So-I never really got an answer about what you want for your birthday?" He asked.

Nina held her head in the palm of her right hand curiously.

"Lets see here's my list okay? 1.fabian 2. Fabian 3. Fabian & oh yeah 4. Fabian" Nina replied.

Fabian smiled in amusement.

"But seriously, what do you want?" Fabian asked.

"I wanted you this birthday and I got my wish. I haven't thought about presents since." Nina stopped.
"I want gran to get better, but I know that's not exactly the answer your looking for".

"That shows joy for calling you a non-devoted granddaughter" Fabians said.

"Yeah, that was kinda harsh wasn't it?" Nina asked.

"But still, your devoted, your smart, you love the world, and your beautiful. Your perfect." Fabian said.

Nina stared at him lovingly and smiled.

"Well...I don't know about perfect" Nina suggested.

Fabians eyes grew wider and he stared through Nina's shallow green eyes into her soul. He shortened his glance and laughed.

"Your face!"

"Oh Fabian!" Nina said standing up and going to the sink to clean off her empty plate.

"Would you like me to go with you?" Fabian asked.

"I think I should go alone this time" Nina said.

Fabian nodded and joined her at the sink.

~ 30 minutes later at the hospital~

Nina opened the door to grans room and hugged her.

"Nina, it's so nice to see you. You look...tan" gran said from bed.

"Oh well...8 straight hours at an amusement park all day can do that to you" Nina replied taking a chair.

"Where's Fabian?" Gran asked.

"I asked him not to come. We needed some gran and granddaughter time." Nina suggested.

"Have as much fun as you can. This is all your getting out of me for a month or two" gran said.

"What?" Nina asked confused.

"Nina? I had a heart-attack and that's why I fell down the stairs".
