We Were Happy {Sweeran short story} (completed)

Ch.2

"Mommy wake up!" Lily said jumping up on our bed.

"I'm up. I'm up." I said laughing.

"Guess what day it is!" She said coming up and laying between me and Ed.

"What day is it?" I asked knowing the answer.

"It's my Birthday!" She screamed.

"Oh yeah I forgot. How old are you again?" I asked.

"Five!" She said holding up a hand. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me.

"Happy birthday baby." I said. She wrapped her small arms around mine and looked up at me with her blue eyes.

"It's Mommy's birthday too." Ed said to her.

"Really?" She asked looking at him.

"Really." He said.

"Happy birthday Momma." Lily said kissing my cheek.

"Thanks baby." I said. She jumped off the bed and ran back to her room. I sighed and laid back down.

"What's wrong Taylor?" Ed asked me.

"It's nothing Ed." I said rolling over so I was facing away from him.

"Taylor it's your birthday and I don't want to see you upset. Please tell me what's wrong." He said pulling on my shoulder so I was now facing him.

"I want another baby Ed."

"What?" He asked confused.

"A baby Ed. Lily's five now and I miss having a little baby in the house."

"Is that what this is all about?" He asked. I shook my head and he sighed.

"Okay if you want another baby we can have another baby." He said.

"Really?"

"Yeah." He said getting out of bed. "Now get up and come eat breakfast." He said leaving the room.

"Oh," He said coming back in. "Lily is staying at your mom's tonite. You'll get your birthday present later." He said winking and leaving the room again.
