Nicole POV
It was September the 7th the day before Waverly's birthday. I had already bought her a present and had organised a surprise party for her at the homestead with us lot, I may or may not threatened to put Wynonna in the drunk tank if she said anything or was drunk before the party. Over the course of our relationship Wynonna and her had both mentioned that her birthday had been overlooked a lot when she was a child so I vowed to give her the best birthday yet.
September 8th
Nicole POV
I woke up 10 mins earlier than usual and headed downstairs to make breakfast, I had secretly been practicing how to make vegan pancakes, so I new what to put in and which order and how long it would take. In the meantime the kettle was boiling for her tea.
Once the kettle was boiled I assembled the tray with a mug of coffee and tea, 2 plates of pancakes and a rose in a thin vase. I walked back up into our room and placed the tray carefully on the bedside table, I leaned over and stroked Waverly's cheek she stirred but then turned to her side and snored again, which I think is cute, I leaned down and placed small kissed on her cheek and forehead. She smiled before blinking open. "Hi." She said in a groggy morning voice.
"Happy Birthday beautiful." I said moving some hair away from her face. She blinked a couple of times before suddenly sitting up.
"Oh my God it's my birthday but how did you know?" Waverly asked looking shocked.
"You really think that I wouldn't figure it out. Your birthday should be celebrated which is why we are going to start the day with breakfast in bed then maybe we could go for a romantic hike have a picnic then tonight go out for dinner." I explained.
"You really thought of everything. Okay where is breakfast." She asked. I picked up the tray and placed it on her lap. We started eating and she asked me where we were going to. I told her it was a surprise.
We finished our breakfast pretty quickly. "I have something for you." I said moving to my drawer in her chest of draws picking out the wrapped box and card. "Open the card." I handed her the card, she opened it. "Read it out loud."
"Waverly, happy birthday I know in the past your birthday has been forgotten so as long as you and I are together I am going to work to make sure you only remember good birthdays.
So happy 22nd birthday. I love you so much Waverly Earp, I don't know how it is possible but I love you a little more everyday and I know that will continue for the rest of my life.
Love from Nicole
Xxxxxx ❤️❤️❤️". Waverly read. "Nicole I love you so much." She leaned in and we kissed. I handed her the box to which she looked like a child on Christmas and ripped open the paper. "Open it." I said.
She opened and tears formed in her eyes. "It's beautiful." She said.
"It's one necklace for the each of us, yours is the one with the N on and mine is the one with the W." I explained taking the box out to pick hers out. "They were once the same heart but I had them specially cut in half and with the letters on. It's to show you that you have the other half of my heart." Waverly smiled at me with tears down her face.
"Can you put it on me?" She asked. I nodded and put the necklace on her and she did the same for me. "So how long do I have to get ready for the hike?"
"An hour ish." I replied. We both got changed into some walking clothes and grabbed our boots to take downstairs. I grabbed our backpacks and raincoats, whilst Waverly made up lunch and snacks.
I found Wynonna in the barn. "Hey we are about to leave. So you good on the plan, you're in charge of decorating and getting everyone here by three that is when we are due to be back. I will text when we are on our way back. It is about a half hour drive." I explained to her.
I put our stuff in the car then headed back inside. Waverly was packing the lunch in a cool bag, I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed the spot behind her ear which makes her shiver. "Ready to go?" I asked as Waverly leaned back into my arms.
"Mmh." Waverly replied. Kissing her cheek I grabbed the cooler bag off of the counter and headed towards the car. A few minutes later Waverly emerged from the house with her fleece in hand, I held open the passenger door of her red jeep open for her. "Thank you." She said climbing in. I shut the door then jogged round to the other side. I pulled out of the homestead front and we were on the road leading to town.
"Waverly can I ask you something?" I asked nervously. She nodded as I glanced a look at her. "When we break the curse and we bring Alice home. Do you wanna a family with me?" I continued.
"Yes, I do. I want 2 or 3 kids. I mean I would have to get another job to help but yes. After this curse is broken or is close I can look into online teaching which may mean further study." Waverly explained.
"Sounds amazing." I stated. I turned onto a country road and headed up, I drove another 10 minutes before pulling into a car park. I parked and we climbed out, we opened the boot and put are waterproof jackets on and our back packs. "The start of the trail is just up here." I said pointing to a gate on the other side of the car park. I put my hand in hers interlocking our fingers together and walked towards the gate. I opened the gat for us and let her walk through first, once we were both through I closed it again. We headed up a small hill along a fence line.
We were half way up when Waverly asked me. "Where did you find this walk?"
"When I first moved here I was exploring the area and found this walk within the first week before I started at the Sheriff's station so I did it that weekend. The scenery is the most beautiful thing here, well until I met you." I replied smiling at her. "It goes through part of a forest and we end up walking along a river." We walked for a little while in silence before I said. "We need to go left after we go through this gate."
"Okay." Waverly said getting a drink out of her backpack. "How long do we walk next to the river for?" Waverly asked.
"About a mile and a half. The walk in total is just about 10 and a half miles so we are in open fields for another two and half miles, then through the forest for a mile and a half. Then we go back into the forest for about a mile and half. We are in open fields for the rest of it. Near where we go back into the forest there is a pebbly beach thing by the river where we can have lunch. If you want? I bought some seats." I explained as we came and went through the gate.
"Sounds nice. It's peaceful which in our lives is a rarity." She replied I pulled her in closer and kissed the top of her head.
We talked about random things until we got to the forest, when I remembered. "Just a warning there are nettles in here so be careful." She just nodded. "Hey when we have broken the curse do you want to go to France, I mean you are fluent in it I just thought you would like to experience it's culture as well. We could go for our honeymoon if you wanted."
"I would like that yeah. We could go to Paris. We should make a thing to go to different places every holiday." Waverly said excitedly.
"I would love that, I haven't been to that many places, my parents would travel a lot but I would be forced to stay with my Grandparents or Aunt and Uncle." I said.
We walked in silence through the rest of the forest I took some selfies of us together and some pictures of just her. It took us longer than I thought to reach the river. Waverly pointed to a pathway to the river's edge and said. "Did you go skinny dipping?" Waverly asked.
"Eh no I am not great at being in the water, I am not sure why but I hate it. I know how to swim and I have been in a pool but open water is a no." I explained. She squeezed my hand and kissed me on the cheek.
"It's okay everybody has their fears, it's nothing to be ashamed of." Waverly said,
"Have I told you how much I love you?" I laughed. I leaned in and connected our lips together resting my hands on our waist. "C'mon baby we have about a mile till we reach the place which is nice for lunch." I interlocked our fingers and we turned right to head onto the footpath parallel to the river.
