Ever After 2 (X Reader)

The Birthday Part two

There were times in her life that (Y/n) had found herself regretting her actions, really beyond all doubt regretting her actions.

She'd had many of those regrets on her birthdays, her eighteenth birthday when her then boyfriend had suggested matching tattoos which she'd promptly realized while laying in the chair of the tattoo parlor the needle hovering over her face that what she really didn't want was a portrait of him on her left cheek, it had been lucky she'd ran when she did, two days later they'd broken up and his name now was a long-forgotten echo lost to the boyfriends of time.

Then there was the birthday where she and Lena had decided to try to behave and act mature and sophisticated while in Paris together, of course, it didn't work, they'd ended up skinny dipping in the Fontaines de la Concorde, being escorted away by two red-faced policemen and locked up for the night.

The birthday her mother left had gradually sunken away from the list of regrets to good luck charms that took a little while to show themselves.

All in all this birthday was absolutely the worst, she'd sat at the table and watched Maggie shamelessly flirt with Alex in full view of everyone including the woman's wife.

(Y/n) glanced at her watch again, for the fifteenth millionth time trying to summon Kate by will of positive thought, so far it hadn't worked.

In hindsight the moment Kara had insisted upon a karaoke party (Y/n) should have shut the whole thing down, now she'd have to sing and watch other people sing and cringe the whole time.

Diana watched bemused as Alex moved back away from the woman's exploring hand, the look on her face was enough to tell anyone she really wasn't interested but apparently Maggie Sawyer did not get the memo.

"I could help you get that memory back you know." Maggie purred. "Tell you some events that occurred between us."

Alex blinked regretting ever smiling at the woman and giving her an opening. "Err.."

"You know I was the first woman you ever slept with?" Maggie said smugly catching sight of (Y/n) in the corner of her eye, enjoying the displeasure on her face. I had her first!

"No, I didn't," Alex replied awkwardly. "I really just want to spend my wife's birthday with her, our first married birthday."

Maggie frowned. "We were to be married we would have had our own first birthdays as a married couple."

Alex narrowed her eyes in confusion something was creeping into her mind like a dark shadow, it felt like fear, it felt like loneliness and sadness, overwhelming sadness. Then Alex felt a warmth, a bright glowing light that engulfed her lovingly, Alex's eyes moved across to (Y/n) who sat next to Diana her head bent over to listen to something the attractive woman was saying, jealousy struck her, seeing her wife so close to that woman was starting to stir up odd emotions.

"I'll tell you about the time we did it on a beach, would you like to hear about that Alex? how she fucked me in a place anyone could have seen? maybe they did I don't know." Alex cringed at the voice that echoed around in her head.

As the green-eyed monster tore its way through Alex, (Y/n) let out a laugh and looked up at Alex, for a moment letting her eyes pass to Maggie. Alex didn't understand the expression her wife wore but she was sure it wasn't a good one.

With a wicked grin (Y/n) stood to her feet. "It's my birthday." She sang happily, before throwing herself into Alex's lap and wrapping her arms around we wife's neck. "Everyone has to do as I say and I say I don't want to sit on that awful chair anymore, I want to sit on you my beautiful Alex."
