His Forever Flame

51. Lauren's Birthday

Jay was getting ready for Lauren's birthday which was Saturday after Thanksgiving. They were going to the fire hall at lunch on Thanksgiving to celebrate with everyone for a bit and then coming back to celebrate as a family.

Kelly and Shay were gonna keep the twins while Jay and Lauren went and did a little shopping. Then Will and Nat were gonna keep them Saturday night. Sunday they'd come home and celebrate with everyone, but Jay was looking forward to some alone time with her.

Since the kidnapping, they hadn't been away from the twins except for that night at the cabin. While Jay understood completely, he was still looking forward to having Lauren all to himself for a bit.

He was helping her get the twins ready for Thanksgiving lunch at the fire hall. He knew it was gonna be better than last year and he was glad. They got the twins dressed in their matching turkey outfits that Lauren had monogramed with their names and then headed out.

Lunch was very nice. They got to enjoy good food with friends and family. The twins got plenty of love and for the most part it was very uneventful. Once the twins got sleepy, they loaded everything up and headed home. Kelly, Shay, Will, Nat and Mouse came over later that night and they all ate leftovers.

Kelly and Shay took the twins and their bags home with them and Jay and Lauren got ready to go shop. They were going to hit a few stores and get all the twins presents, plus Mouse, Kelly, Shay, Will and Nat's gifts. They hadn't made any plans with Lauren's family yet so they were waiting on those gifts.

After about four hours of shopping, they had all they needed and Lauren was tired. They headed home, and Jay hid the gifts while Lauren pumped. It wasn't long after that and she was out. Jay knew she needed rest. Being with the babies all day every day was wearing her out, so he was looking forward to giving her a relaxing birthday weekend.

They slept until almost noon on Friday. Kelly and Shay brought the babies over for a bit so Lauren could see them. She got them down for their afternoon nap and Kelly and Shay left. Will and Nat came down and got them and bags and bottles for the night. They told them to have fun and they'd see them tomorrow.

After they left Jay took Lauren to shower. He massaged her shoulders and washed her hair. "Mmmm feels so good baby," she moaned.

Jay smiled and softly kissed her neck. "Good just relax love," he whispered.

Lauren's body totally relaxed under his hands. She was soft and pliant and he loved it. He softly kissed on her neck as he rubbed.

"Alright beautiful, let's get you dressed," he smiled helping her out and drying her off.

"Where are we going?" she smiled.

"A surprise," he smiled. He bundled her up in her favorite sweat pant/sweatshirt combo with a scarf and gloves.

"Jay," she laughed. "It's not winter yet."

"No but you might get cold," he winked. He put her bike jacket on next and then got dressed himself.

He took her down and put her on the bike. "See? Had to make sure you were warm enough," he smiled.

Lauren grinned as they put their helmets on. It was probably too cold to be out on the bike, but she didn't care. She wrapped around him when he climbed on. He fired it up and Lauren smiled. Jay and his bike were something else and she loved it.

They took off and headed north. Luckily on the bike at mid-evening, the trip to the cabin wasn't so bad. She was kinda chilled when they got there despite her layers but she didn't care.

Jay carried her in and straight to the hot tub to warm up. It felt heavenly on their chilled skin. Lauren sank into Jay's embrace as they relaxed. "Feels so good," she whispered.
