Where to even begin?

In just a short month, I would have known you for just a year. Though it may seem like a short time, it’s been the best time for me. You’ve seen me at my worst and still liked me for who I am and for that I will forever be grateful to have met you.

But then I fell in love with you. I fell in love with those pools of brown that light up each time I talk to you are forever ingrained in my mind. I fell in love with that infectious laugh that I will do anything to hear. I also fell in love with just the simple way you love your family, Delta, Dora, the baby, and even me. It’s the kind of love that everyone should endure and I’m just lucky that you chose me to spend the rest of your life with.

Last but not least, you’ve given me a gift that I will always love you for. Our daughter. I promise to make up the sleepless nights to you. Don’t you worry about that.

Anyway, I say all of this because I love you. And you deserve to have the most wonderful birthday with all your friends and family...well, the best we can anyway. 

Happy Birthday, my love. Remember all the things that got us here and prepare for all the better things that have yet to come.

I love you.

-Liam.

Liam: Hey

Liam had glazed over China’s text just as he pulled into the front of her home. “Liam, remember to kiss her this time.” Chris said as Liam shut his door.  “Could you just be normal for once instead of an idiot?” Liam replied shaking his head. “Bye, little bro!” Chris said putting his foot on the gas and heading into the distance. Liam glanced over his phone having that feeling in the pit of his stomach again wondering why he was the last to know things. quickly ran up the steps and lightly tapped on China’s door.

Liam took his time enjoying what he could with China alone. Spending part of the day sleeping because of jet lag because who doesn’t like to cuddle with the one they love for an entire day? Then he and China spent time exploring the city. But meeting the parents had an entirely different feel to it today. China was definitely different than Miley. Good different. He had no doubt they would love her. He just hoped China would enjoy herself and relax.

Liam had walked China just the block over to his parents place. “How are you feeling?” He asked as they approached the door that was already opening when three little boys ran out and around the home. “nephews seem to be playing a game.” He mentioned with a chuckle. He was about to open the door when it swung open again “Liam! Did they?” She asked already heading in that direction. “Hey, Samantha. And yes. just around there.” He said pointing in that direction. “Thank you! I will see you two in a bit!” Samantha shouted chasing the boys. 

Liam turned to China, his hand in hers giving it a light squeeze before stepping inside his parents home. You could hear the loud commotion of having all families there. Liam’s niece’s had taken over the living room with their karaoke machine singing a princess song that liam couldn’t just put his finger on. He knew the mom’s had to be nearby just by the laughter coming from the kitchen. “Well, you’ve got two choices.” he smiled down to China, putting some of her hair behind her ear. “Princess karaoke? Or Mum’s?”

When 1 pm rolled around Liam did everything in his power to not worry. Not worry that he broken every single thing they had because he couldn’t come out and say what he really wanted. So he busied himself. He fixed up the backyard, Fixing up the patio furniture, restringing the lights too so they glowed within the grass, and re soiling the spots Delta had dug up. He thanked Dora for teaching her that and she trotted away happily in response. Liam watered his flowers before stepping back inside and buried himself in trying to help his friends, Amber & Chase.

Chase would check in on him every now then, constantly urging him to sleep because he could hear the exhaustion in his voice on the phone. Though Liam told him he would, he just put his phone away. He knew Chase was just helping but the lack of responses from China just made his feelings worse. 

He eventually just put the house hunting on hold. He was finally at a good head space when he just simply played with the dogs in the living room. From reading to ball chasing to a simple game of tug of war. He took one last look at the dogs, who settled by the window again, when he realized it was close to dinner and decided to wash up and actually check his phone again.

He ran cool water on his face in hopes it’ll keep him up. He didn’t want to miss her walk through that door or let her leave like that again. He put on a clean pair of clothes when he noticed that familiar smell of his favorite pizza. He forgot about that pesky phone of his and hurried on down the stairs. He momentarily freaked out because the dogs weren’t where he left them. Though he figured, Dora opened the door. 

He started for the back yard just to keep on them because he wouldn’t have been able to forgive himself if he lost Delta let alone China probably never would. He noticed the pizza instantly and he knew he didn’t order it. He looked around thinking she was near though he figured she only came back for the pups. He opened the pizza and his eyes watered at the simple message that was left on. I’m sorry. She just didn’t know how truly sorry he was. He needed to find her.

The sun was setting as he looked outside. He slid open the door seeing the familiar frame on the steps, flipping on the switch just as before sitting next to her. “China?” He said feeling himself get choked up again. He was staring at her, his hand to his beard, before tugging lightly on his ear. “I’m sorry too.” he said with a lick of his lips. 

Dora noticed liam instantly. Running up to him and licking his hand for comfort. Delta following suit. 

It had been a rough few days to say the least. Trying to keep from lashing out at false things being said about him to not being sick to trying to keep his fiance from being popsicle. Even with the amount of time he was spending with her he could still feel the distance that began between. Rather than pry he knew she'd come to him eventually. But when Bill mentioned something about acquaintances, Liam thought to ask her about it. Because it felt like more but seeing her sick, all Liam could think about was just getting her better again.

To find, China wandering to the balcony wasn't nothing new. However, to hear her call him Cam and mutter things about Bill, Liam knew his feelings for anything were to wait until after he could get her well again.

He had just hung up with a local in-house doctor, who was on his way but told him to keep cool cloths on her at all times.

He hadn't slept much.

But she was all that he cared about.
