#chasebrody

You walked back and forth through the kitchen and the living room in a hurry, grabbing whatever decorations and toppings you could for this cake. You probably only had a couple of minutes till Chase got back from the store.

You just hope the twins are able to keep him occupied for just a little longer. The cake was almost ready. It just needed a few more toppings. You feel so nervous. What if he didn't like it? What if he didn't want to celebrate? What if he hated the gift you'd got him? Your hands started sweating while you frosted the cake, making the piping bag incredibly difficult to hold. Holding your breath, you carefully wrote 'Happy Birthday Chase!! <33' in gorgeous green icing.

"DADDD-" Jamie's voice shouts out from the doorway. He immediately runs towards you from the door and hugs you, his sister following behind him.

You glanced around, not seeing Chase yet. "Where's your dad?" You asked the kids, but before they could respond your question answered itself. "I'm back with like a ton of stuff!" Chase calls out, placing some bags down by the door. You smile as he walks further into the house, his expression changing to awestruck once he sees the streamers and balloons strung up throughout the dining room.

"Happy birthday!" You smile nervously, sweating as you try to make out Chase's expression. The kids immediately run over to him and hug him while wishing him a happy birthday. "Did you..do all this for me?" He asks. His tone is unsure and a bit shakey. You nodded. "You didn't have to do this for me-" His speech is cut off when he sees the cake that you've made for him. You made it in his favourite flavour.. The kids ran upstairs to their rooms to grab the gifts they'd made for him. You handed Chase a small box covered in wrapping paper and tied neatly with a delicate bow.

He unties the bow and opens the box, revealing a gorgeous silver locket with your initials carved onto the front. He opens up the locket and finds a tiny picture of you, him, Lynn, and Jamie at a picnic together as a family. In your opinion, it was one of the most memorable moments you've had together. It was the day Chase introduced you to his kids as his boyfriend. About 6 years ago now. Oh how time flies.

"Mo ghrá.. This is so sweet..." Your fiancé takes your hand in his, rubbing his fingers over your engagement ring softly, pulling you close and lovingly staring into your eyes. "When I met you, it felt like a deep dark fog had lifted from my mind.." Chase sighs dreamily as he intertwines your fingers together. "Do you want me to light the candles so you can make your birthday wish?" You ask, blushing a little bit at his words. Chase shakes his head.

"I don't need to make a birthday wish when I've got everythin' I could ever want already right now... 2 amazing kids, a great house, and the pinnacle of a perfect guy as my future husband~" Chases hands make their way to your face, smiling like the lovestruck dork he is. He leans close and pulls you into a sweet kiss.
