A few months later:

"Today is Mommy's birthday," Dean said to Destinee. He took her out of her crib and carried her out of the room. "Let's go wish her a happy birthday."

When Dean walked back into the room, he went to Renee's side and knelt down.

Renee woke up and saw Dean looking right at her.

"Happy Birthday!" Dean said.

"Thank you," Renee said.

"Destinee says happy birthday as well even though she can't talk yet," Dean said. "So, what would you like to do today?"

"Hmm…I'm not sure really. As long as I spend the day with you," Renee said.

"What do you think Mommy should do for her birthday?" Dean asked Destinee.

Destinee sneezed twice in response.

"Bless you. I take that as a let's take Mommy to dinner," Dean said.

"Sounds good," Renee said. "Can't believe my birthday is finally here. September 19th sure took its sweet time."

Throughout the day, Renee got multiple calls from everyone wishing her a happy birthday. Her parents stopped by and brought her a bracelet and some flowers. Sami and Pamela said that they were still looking for a present but it would be a good one. Ella and Gerald also brought Renee some mini cupcakes for her special day. Lisa, Aaron, and Jim also wished Renee a happy birthday. They were secretly making Renee a birthday cake and would surprise her with it once she got home from going out to eat.

Renee did not feel like getting fancy for the day. She just slipped on a pair of black skinny jeans, a grey t-shirt, and some black flats. She quickly put on a little makeup and sprayed some perfume on herself.

Dean and Renee then left the house and went to get into the truck. Dean opened the door for Renee and closed it when she got settled in. He then put Destinee in her car seat and buckled her up. He placed her diaper bag on the floor and closed the door. Getting into the driver's seat, Dean started the engine, backed out of the driveway, then drove off.

"Where are we going?" Renee asked.

"It's a surprise," Dean said.

"I forgot," Renee said.

"No worries," Dean said. "Is there anything else you would like to do for your birthday today?"

"Nothing really. I just want to eat some good food today," Renee said.

Dean smiled and grabbed Renee's hand.

"Your wish is my command," he said.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Renee saw that it was a seafood place. Dean sure knew how to surprise her.

They went into the restaurant and was seated. Their waiter gave them some appetizers and drinks and gave them time to order their food.

"Everything on here looks good," Renee said.

"Yes it does," Dean said. "I'm definitely going to get some lobster. And some clam chowder soup."

"I'll order some lobster as well," Renee said.

Once the waiter came back to them, she quickly wrote down their orders and took their menus.

Renee grabbed a roll and spread some butter on it. Dean picked Destinee up out of her seat and held her.

"See Mommy? See how happy she is? Mommy is such a fantastic person. She's helpful, resilient, amazing, and beautiful. She's your terrific mother." Dean looked up at Renee. "And a terrific wife."

Tears were welling up in Renee's eyes. She took her napkin and dabbed at her eyes a little.

"Dean," Renee said. "You're the best. You know that?"

"I try," he said.

The waiter finally came back with their food and placed the plates on the table. Dean immediately dug into his food and fed some soup to Destinee.

"Are you going to feed her the cupcakes your parents gave me as well?" Renee asked.

"Maybe," Dean said.

"Oh, how I am not surprised," Renee said. She took a bite out of her lobster and was blown away. "This is good. You know what? This is my first time eating lobster."

"Is it now?"

"Yup. I need to eat lobster more. I've been missing out."

"I'll bring you here again if you want."

"That would be nice."

"I'm glad you're enjoying yourself."

"I really am."

"Remember last year? When you yelled at me for an hour straight because I forgot to buy the ice cream to go with the cake?"

Renee giggled.

"I do," she said. "I just wanted some ice cream and cake."

"Oh, I know you did," Dean said.

Last year:

As Lisa, Aaron, Sam, Pamela, Renee, and Dean sat down at the table to eat the cake, Renee started to freak out. Everyone remained silent as Renee started yelling at Dean.

"You forgot the ice cream? You forgot the ice cream? Dean, why did you forget the ice cream?" Renee said.

"I'm sorry. I'll go back and get it," Dean said.

"I cannot believe you. Here I was craving some ice cream and cake and you forget to get the damn ice cream! I really cannot believe you right now. This is crazy!"

"I told you I'll go back to the store and get some."

"Whatever!"

Renee kicked Dean in his knee and shin.

"Renee! Calm down!" Dean said.

"I can't calm down!" Renee said. She started to cry. "Ice cream is very important to have. It's very important."

"I'm very sorry. I really am," Dean said.

Pamela comforted her friend.

"It'll be alright," she said. "He'll get you some cake. He didn't mean to forget it."

Renee sniffed and nodded her head.

"I forgive you, Dean. Sorry for yelling at you."

"That's okay," Dean said. "I'll go get the ice cream."

"It's fine. You don't have to get the ice cream. Just sit next to me and eat your cake."

Dean didn't say another word as he sat at the table next to Renee and ate his cake.

Present:

"I know I drove you crazy that day," Renee said. "I know for a fact I drove you crazy the entire time I was pregnant."

"You didn't. I knew you were going to have mood swings. You carried the baby for nine months so you were definitely going to have mood swings. But I did think you were going to tear my arm off at times," Dean said. "I think you almost did one time." He winked at her before taking another bite of his food.

"Ha ha," Renee said. "Thank you for dinner. This is really good."

"There's something else I have for you," Dean said. He reached into the side of the baby's bag and took out a slender black box. He handed it to Renee. "For you."

Renee took it and opened it. Inside was a black string necklace with a gold locket on it. Renee took the necklace out and opened the locket to see what it said. On the inside it said "I love you". Renee looked up at Dean with a huge smile on her face. Dean sat Destinee back in her seat and helped Renee put the necklace on. The necklace looked extremely beautiful on her and Dean couldn't stop staring at Renee. He gave Renee a kiss on her cheek then picked Destinee up again and sat back down with her.

"I love it! Thank you so much, Dean!" Renee said.

"Anything for you," Dean said.

He couldn't stop smiling throughout the evening. Seeing Renee happy always made him happy.

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Renee, Happy Birthday to you!" everyone sang.

Dean had placed the cake in front of Renee on the table.

Renee made a quick wish and blew out the candles on her cake. Dean cut her the first slice, placed it on a plate, and handed it to her along with a fork. She started eating the cake.

"How do you like your cake, Auntie Renee?" Aaron asked her.

"It's delicious. I love chocolate," Renee said.

"Yay!" Aaron said. "I made it very special for my favorite auntie in the entire universe!"

"Thank you," Renee said. "You did a great job."

Everyone else got a slice of cake and enjoyed it.

Pamela pulled out Renee's present from her purse.

"Here you go! From me and Sami," she said.

Renee opened the small box and took out the bracelet that was in it. There were small beads on it that read "Best Friends".

"I have the other bracelet that says "Forever"", Pamela said. "Because you are my best friend."

"Aww! Thank you so much!" Renee said.

"Welcome!" Pam said.

Pam and Renee gave each other a big hug. Soon, Lisa, Aaron, Dean, and Sami also joined in on the hug.

"Alright, let's continue to eat the cake!" Renee said.

There was something else that Renee had wanted to do with Dean. Once everyone had left and once Destinee was put to bed, Renee got her wish.

To have birthday sex.

Renee had her nails deep in Dean's skin as he fucked her. She had her legs wrapped around him tightly. All day she waited for this moment and she finally got her wish.

Dean picked her up and carried her to the edge of the bed. Renee positioned herself on top of Dean's shaft as she slowly sat down on it. Keeping her arms around his neck, Renee bounced up and down on Dean. He kept his arms wrapped tightly around Renee and sucked on her nipples. Renee began to tug on Dean's hair as he did this.

He picked her up once again and laid her back down on the bed. Gripping her thighs, he fucked her long and hard before she finally came and squirt a little. Dean pulled out and came over her stomach. Hovering over her, he pushed her hair out of her face.

"Let's take a shower," he said. He was catching his breath.

"Sounds like a good idea," Renee said. "And don't worry, I'll wash the blanket."

"Damn the blanket. That was some good sex."

"Yes it was."

Dean kissed Renee on her lips and forehead. They then made their way to the bathroom and hopped in the shower. They made out with each other at first then they started to play around a little.

Dean gave Renee another big kiss and hugged her.

"Happy Birthday, Renee," he said. "I'm glad you enjoyed your day."

"Thank you. And I did," Renee said. "I really did."

They helped each other wash up before hopping out of the shower.

Few days later:

Renee was watching t.v. when Dean came home from work.

"Hey you," Renee said. She got up from the couch and gave Dean a hug and a kiss. "How was work?"

"It was alright," Dean said.

"Food will be ready soon," Renee said.

Dean walked to the kitchen and went to the refrigerator and grabbed a beer. He opened the can, sat down at the table, and drunk the entire thing. Smashing the can, he placed it in front of him and didn't bother to put it in the recycle bin.

Renee walked into the kitchen and checked the pot of beef stew on the stove. She saw Dean brooding at the table.

"Something the matter, Dean?" she asked.

"There's something I need to tell you," Dean said.
