Piece 91

Camille's POV

Today is Mum's birthday. I've bought her gifts, Wren took me out a few days ago after school. I haven't written her card yet, that will have to wait until later when I'm emotionally ready.

This morning, Mam and I got up super early and are about to surprise Mum with breakfast in bed. We've made the best food we know how to make, toast with avocado and an egg, a fruit bowl, orange juice, and a coffee. We put some flowers in a little glass to make it more snazzy and some silverware for her toast and eggs.

"Ready to go up?" She asked and I nodded but needed to head up to my bedroom to get something quickly. Mam went up the stairs behind me and waited outside as I went into my bedroom.

I came back with the item in my hands and walked into the room with Mam. We put the tray on the bedside table for a second as we walked over to Mum. Mam whispered in her ear and kissed her cheek in hopes to wake her up. Mum shuffled around and I saw her eyes opening a little bit.

"Good Morning," I quietly said as I kneeled down and looked at Mum's pretty blue eyes "Happy Birthday!" I squealed, making her giggle at my happiness.

"Thank you." She slowly sat up and kissed my cheek. I gave her repetitive kisses, along with Mam who was kissing her other cheek.

"Happy Birthday, me love." Mam quietly said and gave Mam a kiss. I smiled at them, taking this time to pick up the tray and place it next to Mum.

"Aw, this is so cute." Mum pouted and looked at Mam and me with her lips out. We both took turns giving her a kiss.

"We have a whole day planned out for you!" Mam smiled wide as she sat on the bed, pulling me to come sit with them as well. I still held the item for Mum in my hands, waiting for the right moment to give it to her.

"I love you guys." Mum smiled and I felt my heart melt at the sight. Mum's smile is something so irreplaceable. Nothing can replace the beauty of her smile.

"What's that?" Mum pointed to the small box in my hand, making me speak up about it. Mam and I coordinated this one present, promising to give it to her together.

"This is something from Mam and me," I handed Mum the box and watched her open it. She smiled at the necklace that was inside. It's a gold necklace with a circle pendant that has a 'C' engraved on it.

"For when you need us there with you, just hold onto it," Mam said and I nodded, agreeing with her.

"I love it, thank you!" Mum hugged both Mam and I.

"You two are so sweet." She pouted at us and we both giggled. Mum works so hard and Mam and I just want to spoil her today.

"We're going to go shopping later and you can get whatever you want, babe." Mam kissed Mum and then got off the bed. She went to her ensuite to get ready, leaving me with Mum.

"C'mere." Mum patted the spot next to her on the bed as she called me over. I sat next to her and felt her fingers intertwine with mine.

"Thank you for my present." She looked at the necklace, then placed it on her bedside table to put on later.

"I have another present for you." I told her and she looked down at me.
