JeffHardy724: Oooh, what's the Maze scare?

dove in love: haha thanks. What California/Arizona one? I'm intrigued.

Casey's POV

"September 30, 1988, the day Chris and I were blessed with our first little girl," Mom tells us as she shows Alex one of my baby pictures.

"Aww, how cute! I'd know that red hair anywhere. It was already so bright when she was a newborn," Alex laughs. "Oh and those beautiful green eyes."

"I fell in love with her the moment I saw her," my mom tells Alex.

"So did I," Alex says as she kisses me. "Happy birthday, Casey."

"I can't believe my baby is 19-years-old already and married…and expecting her own little bundle of joy," my mom says. "Where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday I was pregnant with her."

"Does it really go by that fast?" Alex asks her.

"Unfortunately, it does," my mom says to Alex. "One day you're tucking her in and she's asking you to read her a bedtime story and the next she's married and starting a family of her own."

I can see a glum look on my wife's face. "Aww, baby," I tell her. "Don't worry. Kylie isn't even born yet. We have plenty of time."

"I know, Caseybear, but this pregnancy is going by faster than I thought. It makes me realize that our little Kylie is going to grow up so fast."

I hold my wife as she starts to cry. "Don't worry, Alex," my mom tells her. "Your hormones are just acting up right now. I have something that will cheer you up though," she says as she hands Alex another picture of me.

"Aww, Mom, not that one," I groan. The picture she has handed Alex was taken on Halloween when I was five years old. Against my will, my mother dressed me up as Strawberry Shortcake. Complete with the red dress and green and white striped tights, and the puffy white hat. I remember she spent an hour curling my hair and drawing little freckles on my face. That was the worst Halloween ever. I wanted to be something cool like a Ninja Turtle or a Power Ranger, but my mom insisted on making me look as feminine as possible every Halloween.

My wife starts to squee when she sees the picture. "Oh my goodness! She looks so cute! I wish I could just take her out of the picture and hug her!"

"I'm right here though!" I tell her.

"I don't want to hug 19-year-old Casey. I want to hug 5-year-old Casey!" Alex says to me. "5-year-old Casey is so adorable! And look at all those red curls! And that tiny little nose!"

"Too bad it didn't stay that way," my mom teases.

"Is this the 'I Hate 19-year-old Casey' day? Seriously!" I tell them as I pretend to pout.

"Aww, I love my 19-year-old Casey," Alex tells me. " It's almost 11 pm, which means your birthday is almost over and I still haven't given you one of your presents."

"What is it?" I ask.

"It's the kind of present I can only give you in private," my wife says and then winks at me.

If it's the same type of present she gave me for my 18th birthday, I want to waste no time getting to the bedroom.

"Goodnight, Mom. I love you," I hurriedly say before grabbing Alex by the hand and taking her to our bedroom. As soon as we're inside, I lock the door and quickly take every stitch of clothing off of my body.

Instead of enjoying the view, Alex gives me a confused look. "Casey, what are you doing?"

"I'm getting ready for my present. Why are you still fully clothed? I want you naked and in this bed right now! If it's hard for you to undress yourself, I can help you out with that."

"Casey!"

"Alex, today makes it exactly one year since we lost our virginity to each other. I think we should do something to commemorate that."

"Well, this wasn't what I had in mind, but you're right," my wife tells me. "My body was hot back then. Nothing like it is now."

I get out of our bed and slowly remove my wife's clothes and underwear. I can't help but admire her body as I'm doing this. I've never seen Alex look this sexy before, but I know if I tell her, she'll just think I'm lying.

"Casey, I wanted to give you something, but not this," she says when we're laying down. "If you're in the mood, I can touch you, but I'm just not turned on right now."

"But, Alex, you look so beautiful right now. I don't want to take my hands off of you."

"Please, baby, I'm really not feeling up to it right now."

I start to kiss her, "I'm not going to pressure you into having sex, but if you ever want to, just know that I'm always in the mood."

My statement finally gets a smile out of Alex. "I bet you are," she tells me. "Do me a favor? Get your gift out of my top drawer?"

"What's this?" I ask as I remove a 8"x8" gift from Alex's drawer.

"Just open it, it's something I've been working on. I hope you like it," Alex says as she's blushing.

When I open the gift, I find out it's a scrapbook with our names on the front. Aww, my wife is adorable. When I flip to the first page, I expect to find the history of our relationship complete with love notes and photos of us on dates, but that couldn't be further from what was really in there. The first page is a picture of Alex that was taken the night we lost our virginity to each other. She's in my favorite pink lace undies and no bra. Holy fuck! I turn to the next page and find a completely naked picture of Alex from when I begged her to let me do a nude photo shoot of her in my dorm the night she became my girlfriend. This book is too good to be true. Every picture in here is of Alex naked or in lingerie and in some very sexually suggestive positions.

"Casey, are you blushing?"

"This is by far the greatest birthday gift I have ever received," I tell her.

"I was hoping you'd like it. I figured you should have something to…stimulate…you when I'm not in the mood for sex."

"Mrs. Novak, are you saying you want me to masturbate?" I tease.

Alex nods. "I'm also saying I want to watch you."

I start blushing again as Alex kisses my neck. Happy birthday to me!
