Victor von Doom looked curiously at the package he had just taken, the sender was you, but he found it strange that you had asked for it to come to him instead of your home.

He didn't know what it was, but his suspicions were high when he saw the shipping address. He knew you were a witch and that this might be a magical item. You weren't good at modern technology so it was very strange to him so what could it be?

He wondered what you had bought as the products you used to use were not sold just like that in the supermarkets in town or at least not the ones he knew about.

He looked at the seal on the box, it was your magic symbol, there wasn't much doubt that the package was for you. He began to open the box with a large fork and slowly knowing well how dangerous it could be to open it unprepared, and when he peeled off the last layers of paper, what he found was an electric chair. He stared at the chair confused, you had never asked for something like this before, but now he feared he had messed things up, maybe it was a gift for him and he had already opened it.

He was startled when he heard you, and then he asked you about the chair.

“I thought it was nice," you replied. You raised your arms a little, you would put it together with your magic.

“You don't need magic to put it together, it's very simple, you just have to follow the instructions," Victor said when he saw you.

“No, it's not easy. "

“Come on, you can try. "

You made a grimace, but you would try, you started to see the instructions, even if he said that you had to follow the instructions.

You grimaced, but you would try, you started to look at the instructions, and even though he said they were simple, after almost an hour, you managed to finish it.

“You saw it wasn't that hard... "

The armchair somehow fell apart.

“I give up if you want to assemble it yourself," you answered.

“I... I... have things to do in my lab," he immediately left.

“I knew it wasn't going to work “and with a wave of your hand, you put it together, magic never failed you.

My neighbour Rúben | Chapter 17

Author's note: Sorry about this chapter being extremely short. I tried to think of something to add, but my brain is fried this week 😅 We only have four chapters left after this one, and I promise you they are way better and that important things are happening!

Masterlist

"That was a nice car, wasn't it?" grandma said when I arrived at her house.

"It's just a car" I shrugged.

"Is it his? Did he drive you all the way from Manchester?"

"Who?" I said, playing dumb but already feeling my face burning.

"Your neighbour. The one you definitely don't fancy."

"Who do you not fancy?" grandad asked, showing up out of nowhere.

"Her neighbour."

"Rodri?"

"I already told you it's not him, grandad." 

"But you said his name starts with an R and he is the only one."

"And she also said that he wasn't a player. But that car was very football player like. So big and expensive..."

"You are not going to let it go, are you?" I said, letting out a big sigh.

"We are noisy, sweetheart. What can I say" grandad shrugged.

"Well, if you want me to ask him to get us some tickets for the City-Arsenal game, you better behave yourself."

"Wait, wait, wait" grandad said. "Seriously?"

"Yep. Next to Arsenal's bench if you want."

"I won't say another word, then" he said.

"Does that mean that you will finally invite us to visit you?" grandma asked.

"Only if you behave."

"We will. Won't we, love?" grandad said.

"We will" she smiled.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"It'll be ok, sweetie" grandma said, giving my hand a little squeeze.

We were back at my parent's house. My old house.

My mother was throwing a party to celebrate her 50th birthday, and she had somehow convinced my dad to let me come. Apparently, he had relaxed a bit since I had gotten a job even if it was as a nanny. But with him, you never know. 

"Oh, you came!" my mother said when she saw me, giving me a hug.

"I promised I would, didn't I?"

"Thank you" she said, whipping away a tear. "You look so good. You are like glowing, which means that you must be happy."

"I am, yes. Happy birthday" I said, giving her my present.

"Oh, you didn't have to get me anything! Can I open it now?"

"It's your birthday. You can do whatever you want" I smiled.

"Oh, darling! It is beautiful!" my mum said.

"Do you like it?"

"I love it! Since when do you have good taste picking gifts?" she laughed.

"I had a bit of help" I confessed. 

"Well, then tell you helper thank you from me" she said, hugging me again.

"I will."

"There you... Are" my father said from behind my mum.

"Hello dad."

"Hi" he said. 

"Look at her. Doesn't she look good?" my mum says.

He just nodded, his eyes fixed on the floor.

"Let's go sit and catch up for a bit before the other guests arrive" she said, grabbing my arm with one hand and my dad's with the other.

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"So you got yourself a job, uh?" my father said. The party had been going for a few hours, and that was the first time he had talked to me directly, probably encouraged by the couple of drinks he had had.

"Yep."

"A nanny for a posh divorced woman."

"She isn't posh. She comes from a family like ours."

"But she still is divorced, isn't she?"

"She is, yes. Is that a problem?"

"No, not all" he said, taking another sip from his drink. "And you teach piano to her daughter."

"I do."

"Is she good?"

"She isn't bad, gets everything pretty fast. But she's more interested in football these days."

"Football" he snorted. "That will take her nowhere." 

"But at least she is doing what she likes, not what others like."

"I'm sorry" my dad muttered after a couple of minutes of awkward silence. 

"What?"

"I'm sorry" he said again. "For what I did to you. I shouldn't have been so... You know."

"You shouldn't have, no."

"Do you think... That maybe one day... We'll be able to... Have a normal relationship?" he asked, nervously playing with his glass.

"You already said sorry, which is the most difficult part. So maybe."

"Good... Good" he said, going back to the party. 

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"He said sorry?" 

"Yep."

"It's a beginning" Rúben said. While I was with my family he had stayed in London meeting with some friends, and now he was also driving me back together to Manchester. 

"Yeah" I sighed. "But I don't think he'll like you."

"Why not?" Rúben chuckled.

"He thinks football players are dumb, earn way too much money, and that it is a pointless career choice."

"He isn't wrong about the money. But I'll prove him wrong about everything else" he said with that smirk of his.

Happy Birthday Rodri!

[pensat-i-fet]

Happy birthday, lovely! I hope you have a fab and amazing day

Here a gif of Ruben and Rodri to bless your birthday morning 💙🥳

My babies 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you 😘😘

[levana-stark]

Happy birthday! 🎉🥳💕

Have some baby Rodri racking up his points 😂

But the real question is, does he argue with Kun about whether or not they count if they happen in training?

P.s. how many points for a piggyback?

P.s.s. I hope your birthday wish comes true tonight too 🙏🏼🤭

Awwww thank you so much 🥺

They're just so cute, I can't 🥰

And he definitely tries to convince Kun to also count training points, but Kun is standing firm in his decision to only count games.

And a piggyback ride will give you 3 or 4 points, depending on the occasion.

My fingers are crossed so much for tonight.

Your Day | Jadrigo

Featuring: Rodrigo Escobar & Jade Clark ( @rodrigo-esc ) Location: Jade & Clover’s apartment; San Francisco, CA Time Frame: May 17, 2023/early evening Notes: How the evening of Rodrigo’s birthday went! Cuteness below the cut.

Jade

Jade finished preparing dinner and dessert for Rodrigo's birthday, showered quickly and dressed comfortably for the evening in her apartment. Clover had been cat sitting and was mostly staying with her older brother, so she and Rodrigo would have the place to themselves. She'd set a gift bag of presents on the coffee table next to a gift wrapped jewelry-sized box with a card on top. His last gift for him had been in her closed bedroom. Meanwhile, the breakfast bar was set with two plates, wine glasses, water glasses and cutlery and the majority of the apartment still carried the aroma of herbs and spices from the dinner she cooked. All she had to do was wait for Rodrigo's arrival.

Rodrigo

He had been running slightly late and it was because Rodrigo wanted to be sure he had submitted all the final grades. He had made a conscious decision of declining summer camp and school teaching hours much to his student’s chagrin but Rodrigo wanted to take a summer off for once in his teaching career. Besides, he was turning 30 this year. Even though his friends often joked he was an old man, 30 made him feel somewhat younger. He knew it would be a great year. He had and amazing and steady class that he’d be teaching again as long as the scheduling admins remembered his requests.  He had the most amazing girlfriend whom he planned to not only spend his 30th year loving her down but to no longer deprive one another of the love they both deserve because yes, your boy was going to welcome happiness into his life. That and he owed his friends some time to just hang out and with Emma’s wedding coming up, he wanted to be available. It would be his year to help his mother out with the food truck and to hopefully get his books on queue off the pile next to his bed.

Once those grades were submitted, he showered and got ready, laughing as Ziggy hurried him out of the house. “I love you but your girl is waiting. Don’t make me look bad, Rodri.” He chuckled at his friend’s words and proceeded to add some finishing touches to his outfit and beard. Once he was in his car, Rodrigo was on his way, a smile pulling at his lips from ear to ear as he thought the girl he was completely in love with.  Once he arrived at Jade’s house with his overnight bag in his hands, he knocked on her door and grinned. “Jade there’s some teacher guy out here claiming to be your boyfriend. I don’t know.”

Jade

Jade heard the knocks which almost always prompted Pip and Kiwi to chirp and warble like they were self-appointed doorbells. She smiled knowing it was Rodrigo, and her smile grew upon hearing his muffled voice from the other side of the door. His joke made her giggle as she padded over, unlocked it and opened it. "Weird. I might have been expecting him today. Something about a birthday I think? I could have the dates mixed up though..." She trailed off, barely containing her pretend look of confusion before she was back to grinning up at Rodrigo, stepping aside with a hand reaching out to pull him inside. "Happy birthday, honey." Jade crooked her finger in a come-hither fashion while raising on her toes to kiss his lips and relish the familiar smell of his cologne and lotion.

"Since it's your birthday, we can do whatever you want tonight. I have dinner ready and dessert, and presents for you, although fair warning, one of your presents can't wait too too long before I'll have to show you what it is."

Rodrigo

"Sounds like him." He grinned and then chuckled when Jade pulled him inside. Rodrigo was incredibly excited to see her. With everything they had been through, they deserved this levity and getting the chance to just be together. "Thank you, beautiful." Rodrigo leaned in at her command, snaking an arm around her waist to bring her closer for their kiss. Being around her made him the happiest man alive and he stole a few kisses before letting her loose enough so that he can appreciate the visual of his girlfriend in his arms.

"What?" He chuckled at that last part, looking down at Jade with a smirk. "I'm afraid to ask!" He kissed her forehead and then looked around. "Well, being here is all I want. Just the two of us. What do you think we should do first?"

Jade

Jade was all too willing to return each kiss Rodrigo gave her. And when he drew back, she smiled up at him and led him further into the apartment so he could see the things that were set up, particularly the gifts on the the coffee table and the dinner for two set at the breakfast bar. She smiled all over again when he kissed her forehead and then shook her head, "Mm, mm, this isn't my birthday, it's yours. You decide. Dinner is ready. Presents are there." She pointed tot he coffee table and then to her bedroom door, "and there," with a soft grin before looking back up to him. "We're doing what you want, amor."

Rodrigo

Even after a couple of weeks have passed, Rodrigo couldn't believe how lucky he was in finding someone as kind and amazing as Jade. It still felt like a dream come true. Seeing how much effort she had put into his birthday made him feel incredibly happy. He looked around as Jade brought him further into the apartment, his smile widening like a child in a toy store. He truly did not know where to begin and while he wanted to absorb it all at once, he knew that patience was the way to go. "Well, you know me I'm starving. How about...presents while we eat?"  He smiled at his girlfriend, placing his bag down. "That way I get two things at once. What can I say, I'm a glutton." He chuckled.

Jade

Seeing Rodrigo's joy filled Jade up. She missed this so much in the time that she'd been distant from him, brief as it had been. But it was just a testament to how much she truly loved him. When he decided on them doing both dinner and presents, Jade couldn't help but grin at him. "Okay, that works. Take a seat." She squeezed his hand and then headed over to the living room to pick up those gifts first, setting the card, jewelry box and gift bag down in front of her boyfriend. From there, Jade went into the kitchen, opened the oven where she'd been keeping the food warm without overcooking it. She pulled hers and Rodrigo's plates from the breakfast bar and arranged the food in a presentable fashion. Once she finished, she turned back to him and the breakfast bar, setting a much fuller plate in front of him that had been a surf 'n turf-themed dinner: a medium rare  bacon-wrapped filet mignon, cajun garlic butter lobster tail, rosemary-garlic mashed potatoes and oven-roasted carrots, baby potatoes and bell peppers. "Bon appetit!"

Rodrigo

An almost child-like giggle fell from his lips when Jade presented him with his gifts. She was so adorable and the more he learned about what he'd be getting, the giddier he felt but nothing would compare to the spread his girlfriend placed before him. He looked up at her with a soft smile. Wow, it was really true that the way to his heart was through his stomach. He stood up from his spot to cup her face and kiss her gently against her lips. It was the reaction that made sense to him. Jade had really put so much work into well, everything. He knew there were presents to open but the food alone would have sufficed. "You did all this? For me?" He knew the answer. It's not like he didn't but Rodrigo was humbled and his heart felt warm at the sight. "Come, sit with me..." He pulled her chair so that Jade could join him. He wouldn't dare start without her. "This looks and smells...perfect." He glanced over to her and then at the gifts. "Is there one you want me to open first?"

Jade

Jade had set her own plate down back on the setting next to his. She'd left the lobster tail off and had smaller portions but planned to try and enjoy some, if not all of the meal with Rodrigo. When he stood and cupped her face, Jade smiled against his lips and kissed him back, gingerly placing her hands over his. "Yes. I love you, and I just wanted you to feel extra special on your birthday." It was possible she'd gotten carried away with everything but Jade had never felt this way about anyone before and decided rather than hesitating and second guessing to go with what her heart was telling her and hope it wasn't too much. Before taking a seat beside Rodrigo, she picked up a bottle of red wine she had on the counter and brought it to the breakfast bar. "Thank you," she said of him pulling the chair out and also, for the compliment on the food. While answering his question, she smiled and poured each of them a glass. "Hm... how about you start with the card, and then the gift bag?"

Rodrigo

"Well, mission accomplished." He smiled at Jade. When she sat beside him, he agreed to start with the card and then the gift bag. Rodrigo reached for both, setting the bag to the side, and then opened the card. As he read it, his smile grew. He knew it was probably the cheesiest smile but he couldn't help feeling so loved. "Aw. I love it." He leaned in to kiss her once more. Seeing that Jade had set her plate as well and that she'd be joining him really did make him happy. He could tell, especially after his conversation with Jade about her mom, that her issues with food and with most things stemmed from the complicated and abusive relationship she had with her mother, and while it still stewed in the pit of his stomach, he had also promised her all the time and patience she needed.  With that, he'd still be protective and mindful of his girlfriend. He glanced over to her once more, smiling before reaching for the gift bag and closing one eye to take a peek inside. "Okay, I'll look in the bag and thennnnn, I'm taking a bite of everything because this food smells and looks delicious." Rodrigo opened the bag, removing the tissue paper and placing it to the side. When he spotted the various sex toys, he looked up at Jade, a smirk on his face as his tongue dragged over his top lip before he chuckled. "Oh, happy birthday, Rodrigo..." He looked back in the bag, pulling out each individual object with a lop-sided grin gracing his features. "handcuffs? So you're plan is to keep me here all weekend, huh?"

Jade

Jade blushed and watched Rodrigo as he opened the card envelope. She reached for her wine glass and took a sip, and then lowered the glass as she met his lips. Once he got to the gift bag and peeked at it, she giggled. "Okay. You'll definitely enjoy it more if it's hot or at least warm than cold." Lifting her glass for another sip, she could feel her face heating up a bit more, unsure of what his reaction would be but still hopeful for it. But the expression on his face, followed by what he'd chuckled made her laugh a bit. "That's the theme of the night," she teased, watching him remove the items in the bag. At his question, Jade just grinned and gave a long shrug of her shoulders. "Maybe? Because I'd be open to you using them on me..."

Rodrigo

Rodrigo stuck his fork into his filet and cut up another piece before taking a bite as he listened to Jade. He chuckled at her response, brow arching at her words. He was amused and also turned on by the prospect. He placed his fork down and wiped the corner of his lips and then cleared his throat. "Thank you for giving me permission. I will absolutely use them on you.  And I don't mind extending my stay here if you don't." He grinned at his girlfriend and then pulled out the small butterfly toy with the controller. "And this one is going to be fun especially with you all tied up, huh?"

Jade

Jade eyed Rodrigo for a moment as he delved into the steak but smiled softly to herself after she made her comment and then looked at her own plate, gently spearing a couple of the oven-roasted veggies. She hadn't answered him on whether or not she'd mind him extending his stay, knowing that the answer would come soon enough. Instead, she just smiled a bit and looked to him as he took out another item from the bag. At that, she found hersel grinning a bit, "I hope so. You've made me feel comfortable with being more adventurous than what little experiences I'd had before I met you. So I thought these might be fun for us for a while."

Rodrigo

Rodrigo placed his fork down and brought Jade’s hands together in his before kissing her knuckles “I’m excited. And look at you getting adventurous on me. It’s really sexy.” He looked up at her and grinned before looking over to the jewelry box. “Okay, let me open this one and then we can finish our dinner?” He let go of her hands for a bit and then reached for the box to open it. His smile couldn’t get any brighter when he discovered what was inside. “Is this what I think it is?”

Jade

Jade followed suit setting her own fork down as well when Rodrigo reached for her hand. Her face was warmer than usual but she was all smiles as he held both of her hands and kissed her knuckles. "Is it?" she asked, keeping that information in mind in the future. "I'm glad you feel that way, because I'm enjoying that part of our relationship along with our dates, texts, and the other times we spend together." She listened to his idea and then nodded, picking up her fork to stick the vegetables in her mouth while he was occupied with unwrapping and opening the small jewelry box. Knowing it wouldn't take him long, she'd taken a small bite, chewed and swallowed it by the time he'd asked about the key. Smiling again, Jade lightly teased, "I hope you think it's a key to this apartment. Because I don't own a ton of other keys."

Rodrigo

"It is." Rodrigo smiled and then nodded his agreement to Jade's words. "I am too. I am enjoying every aspect of our relationship. You made me incredibly happy, Jade, and not just now although this is quickly turning into one of the best days I've ever had. You continue to surprise me and make my life better. So thank you." He chuckled, holding the key in his hand. "Oh shoot, here I thought it was your diary lock key or something like that," Rodrigo smirked and leaned in to steal a quick kiss, keeping his face close to Jade's. "Tomorrow, I'll make you a copy of mine too. But thank you, sweetheart. I love everything. I love you."

Jade

"I feel the exact same way about you. For as long as I've been allowed to know them, I'd thought I'd always only be my happiest when I was around my siblings. And then I met you." Jade knew it sounded cheesy but it was the truth. Walking into Rodrigo's classroom months ago and helping with Hamilton since then changed her life for the better, in ways she never could have imagined. She cast a soft grin to her plate hearing him joke about the apartment key and started to cut herself a bite of the filet; however, she tilted her head in Rodrigo's direction and met his lips again, smiling when he drew back. "Thank you. And I love you too." With one hand still holding her fork, she reached up to caress his cheek and murmured, "Okay, dig in because you've still got one more gift waiting, and desserts."

Rodrigo

Rodrigo knew they had a tendency to drift off into the cheesy and it made him happy considering he never got the chance to be like this with anyone. He  didn't even know he was capable of it. He really was such a different person around Jade. She made him a better man. "Well, you're just out here making me blush and getting all sentimental on me." He kissed her cheek and shifted in his seat to sit back up. "I've never actually felt this way about anyone. All that first love talk, you're mine. I mean that." He let go of her hand so that he could continue enjoying his food. "How are you going to top all of this? My goodness." He grinned and took another bite.

Jade

Jade listened to Rodrigo some more and her face only remained warm by his words. Hearing that he was her first love touched her heart, right to its core. "I love you, Rodrigo," she told him, smiling all over again as her gaze lingered on his face for a bit. As far as Jade knew, she'd never been someone's first love before, but Rodrigo's honesty with her when it came to the two of them sharing their feelings of love and affection always revived the butterflies in her stomach. She tried to settle them down though before she did or said something that made her look foolish and turned her attention back to her plate. "Well, I thought the key might end up being the top gift. But I also know that you and I enjoy sleeping together so maybe it would have been that one. But your last gift has me thinking it could be a three-way tie. If not, then it might have the edge out over the key." She knew she was speaking a bit in circles and had been a bit intentional about that this time, smiling to herself as she took another bite of food. "But I am certainly going to reveal the gift to you before your desserts."

Rodrigo

He chuckles as Jade spoke and glanced over to her as he continued eating. "Well, now I'm just curious." He smirked, truly wondering what his girlfriend was up to. he was almost done with his plate and they continued talking, reminiscing about everything and anything. It was nice to feel this peace with someone.  It was what he appreciated the most. There was no drama, no yelling, and no fights at all times of the day. Jade was his person through and through. Once he was done, he looked over to Jade's plate, hoping she had also enjoyed such a wonderful meal. "I know you hear this plenty but that was so damn good." He wiped his mouth and laughed softly. "Thank you, sweetheart."

Jade

"I'm excited," Jade admitted, all while hoping that Rodrigo would like the last, non-edible surprise she had for him that evening. In the meantime though, she spoke with Rodrigo and occasionally ate from her plate, mostly draining her wine glass and pouring herself some more to enjoy. She sipped some of the red as Rodrigo finished and complimented her on the meal, "Thank you, corazón. It's meaningful In a different way when coming from you." After quickly linking her lips and wiping her own mouth, Jade slid off of the bar stool and said, "Okay, last present. Close your eyes while I go get it!" And with that, she hurried to her bedroom and carefully opened the door, looking about. Inside near the foot of the bed, curled up in a tiny ball slept an ocicat kitten with a pale blue collar. Jade picked the youngster up and cradled her to her chest with both hands, keeping her in her tiny ball.

When Jade stuck her head out of the bedroom, she checked to see if Rodrigo's eyes were still shut and then warned, "No peeking," in a soft voice as she padded back to him. But as soon as she was just a few feet away, the kitten had awakened and quietly mewed, giving away the surprise ahead of Jade telling Rodrigo to open his eyes. She softly laughed a bit but watched for his reaction regardless.

Rodrigo

Rodrigo was grinning from ear to ear. There wasn't anything that Jade could do to top this and he believed that. She had already done so much for him. It was more than anyone he's ever dated before had done for any occasion and it was easy to see why he had fallen so hard and so quickly for her.  He chuckled when Jade slid off her stool and he watched her go. Her excitement made his excitement grow. Following her instruction, he closed his eyes and waited for her return.

When Rodrigo heard Jade's voice he chuckled once more and nodded. "No peeking..." He was smiling the entire time but his eyebrows rose when he heard the meow.  "Wait..." He couldn't keep his eyes closed any longer and when his eyes shot open, they welled up immediately. "Oh my God! ,Jade!"  It was the most incredible gift anyone had ever given him and he reached for the cat with grabby hands and brought her close to his chest. "Oh my goodness. hello there!" He snuggled her and then looked up at his girlfriend. "Jade this ... , God, I'm so happy right now!"

Jade

Jade's heart beat a little fast, slightly nervous at how Rodrigo might react to the last gift. She was hopeful that he would like it but there was a bit of doubt creeping in. Sure, she had seen some cat accessories in his space and she knew now that Julia had basically stolen his cat from him. Jade had only hoped that this kitten would be well received; if not, she would keep it until she could find it a new home.

The kitten giving itself away as the surprise had made her laugh but she'd quieted when Rodrigo's eyes flew open and he'd teared up at the sight of the small, wide-eyed ocicat. His eagerness to receive the little feline made Jade grin as she stepped close and carefully handed the kitten off to her boyfriend. While he held her, Jade rested a hand on Rodrigo's shoulder and pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek. "That's all I wanted for you today, for you to be happy and have a really good birthday. And a kitten." She grinned, looking down at the kitten who was looking around a bit but mostly leaning into Rodrigo's chest which Jade was more than certain was very warm. "She's got a collar and a travel carrier, but she needs a name."

Rodrigo

Rodrigo smiled tenderly when the kitten cuddled into his chest. He couldn't resist nudging the top of her head gently with his chin. He had missed this so much . "I am very much in love," he admitted with a grin and snaked his arm around Jade's waist to bring her close to his side. "I love you so much. Thank you, thank you so so much. Best birthday, ever. Really." He puckered his lips, asking for a kiss and chuckled softly. "A name, huh? Well, I think it only makes sense we name her after something or someone that brought us together. So...how about Miranda?" He looked up at his girlfriend and then down at the kitten. "Do you think she likes it?"

Jade

Jade easily leaned into Rodrigo when his arm came around her. She saw his request for a kiss and happily granted it, her hands gingerly cupping his cheeks as she did so. "I love you too," she whispered back to him. Smiling all over again, she'd been happy to see and hear him be so happy for his birthday. It was all she wanted for him. He was more than amazing in her eyes, and at the very least, he deserved to be happy. One of her hands stayed near his cheek, absentmindedly sliding back to rub the hollow of his ear while he talked out an idea of the kitten's name. A grin spread across her lips when she heard the name idea. "As in Lin-Manuel," Jade realized, thinking about how they'd met duet o Hamilton, and how they'd both ended up at the movies in the park when Encanto was being shown. "I think she loves it. Miranda's a great name, honey." She leaned in and kissed his temple and then his cheek. After watching Rodrigo and Miranda for a bit, Jade stepped out his hold so that she could get his dessert. She popped part of it in the microwave while going into the freezer and taking out a carton of vanilla ice cream. After preparing two scoops, she took the first item from the microwave, set them on the counter and then placed a scoop of vanilla on each. And then she brought two plates back to the counter--homemade molten lava cake with the vanilla ice cream slowly melting on top. "Happy birthday to you..." Jade faintly sang, her face already growing a bit warm as she did so.

Rodrigo

Having his girlfriend next to him, seeing how happy she was with just making him happy and Miranda nestled into his chest, it was almost surreal how far they had come. The times he thought he may have lost his chance with her and then learning about the monster known as Jeanette truly made Rodrigo feel a sense of relief that they got to this point. "As in Lin-Manuel." He echoed her words and he looked up at her with a giant smile. Miranda was now purring and Rodrigo was already so in love with her.  "Thank you! I think she loves it too." He continued snuggling his kitten, turning slightly in his seat so that he could watch Jade at work. He didn't even think about dessert as she had already surpassed all expectations he had. She kept doing that with each gift and morsel that he had the privlilage of trying. When Jade began to sing to him, his smiled widened even more and he gently place Miranda down so that he could give his girlfriend his undivided attention. Rodrigo whispered the words "Thank you" and pulled Jade towards him. He wrapped his arms around her, delicately placing his chin on her chest and looking up at her. "Te amo. Mucho, muchismo. Thank you for making this day so special for me."

Jade

Throughout the afternoon of preparing the dinner and dessert for two, Jade realized just howich she enjoyed spoiling Rodrigo. It wasn’t something she did on a daily or constant basis but getting to do small but meaningful acts of kindness for him felt important to her, even before he became her boyfriend. And now that it was his birthday, and a milestone at that, she was genuinely happy about showering him with good things to make him feel extra loved and his birthday feel special. After presenting the dessert and a softly sung rendition of 'Happy Birthday', she came back around the breakfast bar to join Rodrigo, only to be pulled back into his arms. Smiling, she wrapped her own arms around his shoulders and kissed his nose. "Te amo," she repeated back to him. "Y feliz cumple. I'm glad you feel that way, beloved." Jade then kissed his forehead while her fingers gingerly played in his hair, "And I meant what I said earlier. Anything you want tonight. I'm all out of surprise gifts to give, but you have your desserts and your presents to enjoy. Or we can find a movie to watch, listen to some music, download a game on our phones... whatever you want."

Rodrigo

"Whatever I want, she says." He stuck the spoon into the icecream and offered some to his girlfriend with a smile. "I want my hard working girlfriend who must be soooo tired from putting together the best day ever to relax and enjoy me going over the hill..." He chuckled and then placed the spoon back into the cake. He looked over to Miranda who had made herself comfortable on one of the chairs and grinned. "Looks like the baby is out so maybe we can try out some toys?" Rodrigo smirked and looked up at her, lightly smacking her ass once. "This was delicious but I can think of other things I'd love to have for dessert."

Jade

"Yes, whatever you want, birthday boy," Jade replied, standing beside him. She accepted his offer of the ice cream but only ate half of what was on the spoon before kissing the side of his face with her chilly lips. After following his gaze to Miranda and smiling softly at the snoozing kitten, Jade let out a quiet gasp and grinned from the smack to her ass that accompanied what Rodrigo wanted to do. "Oh? Well I'm glad you've told me. But I guess you're going to have to show me what other things you're thinking of." Slowly, she backed away from him, her eyes never leaving his as she fully invited him to take the lead, or follow her into the bedroom.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 1

It's been a few weeks since you told him. It's still too early to tell about this to the rest, even if it's your parents.

In order not to get excited, they have agreed that the best thing to do is to have a blood test, in case there is really a pregnancy.

Your gynecologist must give you the order for this. So, you have an appointment on August 15.

It’s a beautiful morning, the sun shines. Spring feels closer and closer. This morning you have your children at home, Miguel is recovering from a flu-like illness and Rodrigo simply didn't want to go to the school. They don't usually let him decide that kind of thing, but that day they let him. He's six years old now. When you go to the kitchen, already dressed, you can't help but think "how big Rodri is. It seems like yesterday when he came in my arms and it was a little bean, hehe".

You arrive at the kitchen, your children having their chocolate with oatmeal cookies, your husband with his scrambled eggs, toast and a tea with milk. You go to the fridge and take out the jug of water. You serve yourself a glass full of water. Your babies see you and say "why don't you have breakfast with us mommy?" "Mommy has to have some medical check-ups and can't eat anything." He looks at you with a smile. You answer his smile with a bigger one. You go to him and hold him tight. "I love you, huh?", "Me too" he answers in your ear. They give each other a little kiss. Your older baby says "what's going on? Is there going to be a little sibling?"

You look at him surprised, because you don't know why Rodrigo says that... but your husband, seeing your puzzled face, says "I told him yesterday a little about you know what. And I think that whenever he sees us kissing, he's going to say that. Get ready," he says with smiles. That smile...

"Well, I gotta go. They will stay with Daddy. I promise I'll be back soon," you tell them. You get your handbag and your keys. You go to the door. The three of them go to you and hug you. He gives you many little kisses on the cheek. Your little ones hold your legs tightly. "Well guys, I'm not leaving forever," you say with a smile. "Well..." and they let you go unwillingly. Of course it hurts to leave Rodrigo and Miguel, but they're not alone. You close the door and behind you you hear. He says “Well... Men’s time.  How about... a lot of music to dance to?" "YAAAAAAAAAAY" your kiddos say. Then you hear him play his favorite song, but you can't hear his words anymore, because you're in your car...

Before you start the car, you check the time.  You're on time. Turn on the car, also the bluetooth of your car to go listening to music.  You select the entire library of your cell phone and press shuffle.  Dancing Queen sounds.  Your smile is immense.  With that joy, and the memory lived of your husband dancing on stage, backtrack and start your journey.

There is normal traffic, no traffic jams.  It's 9 o'clock in the morning, so everything is quieter.

Fifteen minutes of driving, you arrive at the office.  You park the car, you take the cell phone that was playing a song, you get off.  You go to the corresponding waiting room, waiting to be called by your doctor...

Almost ten minutes after the agreed time on the shift, he calls you.  You walk into the office.

After filling out the paperwork, he says, "Madam, the results of your annual check-up gave normal values, what happened?"  You say "I think that i’m pregnant".  He looks at you and says "I always told you to use the condom from the beginning" in a tone that simulates anger.  He writes your order.  You laugh at the discomfort and says "the thing is that I forgot... one thing led to another". He, extending the order to you, continues simulating his anger and says "later please, don't say the baby came by accident, eh!" and smiles. When you have the results, mark an appointment with me; if it's positive I'll refer you to the obstetrician".  You nod and say, "Thank you doctor, see you later.”

You're very anxious to know that you're ready for testing.

As soon as you leave the office, you go to the laboratory, which is half a block from there  You go into the center, withdraw a shift number.  You wait a few minutes.  They call you.

"Good morning", says her. You respond "Good morning" and you give her the order.

It's 10:15 in the morning. The laboratory is open until and 30. "Well, ma'am, it's still lab hours. If you have the 8-hour fast, you can wait and do it right now." Nod. After the paperwork of the health insurance, the receptionist gives you your turn and you wait for a call. Not even five minutes after you've sat down that the receptionist calls you. You enter the cubicle, you sit down. The professional would be on the side of your right arm. He asks you routine questions before a pregnancy sample (last intercourse, if you take pills, last menstrual period). Then he asks you to put your arm in the right place so he can do the extraction. Tie a rubber band over your elbow cavity. He asks you to clench your fist and squeeze hard. You do it. You look away, you're impressed to see a needle. You feel it inside you, annoying but tolerable. Moments later he says "Ready, you can open your hand..." and you turn your head in his direction again. He says "the results will be available from this afternoon, come with this order". Assentis, greet him and return home, having that cotton of your arm very strong.

You starve. So, it’s time to go home. You send a message to your husband "I'm going home! I love to everyone.😘❤️". You go to your car, get in, and put the music back in random. Don't let me down sounds, a song you once dedicated to your husband (but it's another story). You smile because of the nostalgia it gives you. And with that vibe, you start driving home.

You arrive. Your men hold you tight. "We miss you sweetie," he said, kissing you. Miguel looked with a disgusted face. And Rodrigo began to ask, "Is Mommy okay? You smile and say "yeah my love, I'm fine..."

It's nap time and you make your kids sleep, though reluctantly. It's a chance to talk to him about what happened without being suspected.

They are both sitting on one side of the bed. He looks at you, hugs you with his right arm and says "how are you?" You say to him, with his head a little low and without looking at him "I've already done the tests, I sincerely can't wait to go and get them... this is consuming me, hehehe", you say with a certain amount of anxiety. He lifts your face with the other hand so that you can see your eyes. He tells you, even having his hand on your chin, "don't get nervous. You're going to hurt the baby”. He laughs a little and continues "that home analysis for me didn't fail in this case... so, just pretend that there's a little living being among us".

You smile, with tears in your eyes "well, all right, I'll calm down... it's just that this has happened so many times, but I still can't help but get nervous. He caresses your cheek, smiling in the sweetest way. "That's my girl," he says and kisses you on the forehead. Then he hugs you, while you lay your head on his shoulder. You hug him too, very tight. “I love you, huh? You know that my feelings are truth...". He kisses your head, saying "I know it honey, I know it..." without enduring tears falling down his cheeks. Tears of happiness, not pain. Tears of feeling at home with you another day.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 2

The fate wanted that until the next day you couldn’t go to withdraw the result before. You went last minute on Friday.

You arrive hurriedly to the laboratory to remove it, the receptionist sees you with a strange face. "I've come to pick up some results. She still looks at you in surprise and says "in the name of...". You tell her your name and she looks for you in a pile of results. He finds it. She puts it in an envelope and extends it to you. "Thank you" you say a little nervous and smiling. "You're welcome, have a good night. You almost ran to the door.

When you leave the lab, you’re so eager; so you take out the paper with the result. Positive. And you have a two months pregnancy. Your husband was right.

You get home. All three receive you. "Mommy's okay?" asks Rodrigo. "Yes, my love... very well," you say, looking at your husband and smiling. Then he hugs you much harder than usual. He says in your ear "I told you so, baby...". They both endure the crying. Miguel then says "they seem very happy. I like see a happy mommy and daddy" and he hugs you even stronger. But Rodrigo suspects that there is something strange...

August 19th. The big day.

He's still sleeping in bed, very deeply. You and your children approached him very slowly. You sat on the edge of the bed, trying to be stealthy. But your children jumped energetically towards him, shouting "Happy birthday daddyyyyyyy!" You can't help but smile. He wakes up surprised, he doesn't understand the situation for a few moments. Then, hug your babies "thank you little children", as he smiles and a few tears slip out of his eyes. He looks at you and you say "Happy birthday my love" with a big smile.

After a warm family time, he says "well, I have to get up". Your babies get a little sad out of bed.

It was time to make preparations. Many of your husband's friends will come to celebrate his birthday, so you ask the three of them for help to speed up the work.

After two hours leaving everything in order, they were ready to receive the guests. Catering came on time, you didn't want your husband to cooking on his birthday. There were options for all tastes, including vegetarian snacks for that friend of your husband's with whom he always discuss.

The music began to play from that very loud moment.  Both your husband and your kids started to dance with Super Freak.

The guests start to came. Your house its full of joy, music and the smell of food.

Rodrigo and his little friends were playing hide-and-seek. He can't think of a better place to hide in your study, where your analysis results were over the desk. See that strange paper for him and he runs towards you.  He forgets the game. This was more important.

"Mommy! Mommy!  Mommy! What does it say on this paper? Come on, tell me!

After five minutes of insisting, you take him aside with your husband and say "you're going to have a little brother or sister soon." You didn't finish telling him, that Rodrigo begins to shout very loudly "my mommy is going to have a baby!"

Silence. Your guests saying "is it true?"

"Mommy, Daddy. Tell them," insists the boy.

You didn't want to tell them before because you've already lost a pregnancy, before Rodrigo. And that made you very bad. They preferred to wait until the fourth month was up.

But apparently things happened in a way that had to cut the tradition.

Your husbands look at you with an immense smile, hug you with one arm and with the other he goes to your belly. With that hand he touches the belly and says to everyone "Rodri is right. We didn't want to tell you yet... but good. This is the best birthday present I can have." Look at the guests. "As much the presence of all of you as that of my children, my wife and this little one who comes to change our routine," he says, looking towards your belly and caressing it gently.

After the hubbub and everyone's congratulations, the birthday then passes with great normality, with lots of loud music, screams of children playing and adults smiling. Obviously, it was not perfect... James, Rodrigo's little friend, threw soda on the floor. And Felix stained the carpet with cake. Things happen.

It gets dark and the guests start to leave.

After making your children bathe and sleep with your husband, you take showers. The shower has relaxed you a lot. Honestly you just want to sleep.

But when you get to the room, there is the light on the bedside table. He was sitting with a soft pillow on his back, against which he was leaning. He was reading a book. When he hears the door, he looks up and puts a bookmark in the book.

"Oh I was waiting for you... my beautiful girl", as I closed the book and left it on the bedside table. All without stopping looking at you.

"Yes, of course, you say that because I don't have a belly yet," you say smiling.

"You're always going to be for me," he says, with a warm smile.

You lie down. He then turns off the light and accommodates your side. "Come" he says to you softly. You lie your head on his chest, while he hugs you. He looks up at the ceiling and says "the best birthday I've ever had, thank you for taking care of everything... although Rodrigo ruined our surprise about the pregnancy," he smiles. "You close your eyes and say "maybe that's how my love had to pass. And of nothing, you know that I do it for you", you say hugging him strongly. He kisses you on the head and caresses your hair. You fall asleep. And he, too, after a few minutes.That night would be one of the last to sleep well in a long time. And internally both knew it. But, it doesn't matter... Christine is worth it.
