~cupcake fiasco~
"I didn't mean for it to catch fire."
Bored housewife syndrome had hit Addison hard, but setting the kitchen on fire was far from what Zed expected. Especially with their six month baby in the house.
"What were you even doing?"
"I wanted to make you cupcakes," she pouted. He furrowed his face, confused, which prompted her to explain, "'Cause you've been really sweet and kind and you're my sweet amazing husband who deserves a treat every once in a while."
Zed sighed, sitting on the curb next to her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and she leaned into his side. "I'm sorry," she said softly.
"I'm not mad," he said. "But you don't have to make me cupcakes to show appreciation. I get all the treats I need coming home to you and Lizzie everyday."
"I know…I also really wanted cupcakes."
Zed smiled, pressing his kiss to the side of her head. "Which is why we have a grocery store."
She giggled, then sighed. "So what shall we do for dinner? I don't think too many restaurants will be happy with us bringing Lizzie."
"Well it's a good thing Bree lives down the street."
