10th Wedding Anniversary, Seth aged 7. In the forums, I've worked out how old Sandy and Kirsten were when they met, how old they were when they had Seth and how long they had been married before he was born. I worked out that they were together for 3 years before they had hm, so he'd be 7 when they celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary. And Princess Sparkle, I'll try to have more Kirsten-Seth, but it's hard, he's getting older, and as I said, I always find it easier to write him & Sandy, I get to go nuts with silly comments and hopefully sarcasm soon, wahey! I try and portray Kirsten as a nice, fun mum, but one who is very busy... Sandy works from home a lot, but maybe he'll have to go to court for a few days, I'm sure that could be arranged! Oooh, I have an idea for my next chapter now, woohoo!
"Wow, 10 years, huh? They've flown by with you, honey!" Sandy declared, referring to his and Kirsten's anniversary which fell on that day.
The two of them were entwined in bed together, enjoying some precious time together before the demands of work and Seth took over.
"Happy... Anniversary... sweetheart" Kirsten replied, pausing to kiss her gorgeous husband between each word. He smiled at her sexily, then kissed her nose, neck and then her mouth. Their passionate embrace lasted a few minutes and then drifted into a tender hug. They looked at eachother lovingly for a lingering moment and then proceeded to present the other with a gift and card from their respective bedside table drawers.
Sandy was thrilled with his gift, which comprised of a boxset of musicals on DVD, a surfboard upkeep set and a mug declaring him to be the world's greatest husband. They kissed and Kirsten finished opening her gift. She was thrilled to find a beautiful jewellery box that contained a set of silver earrings and necklace, both sparkling with a discreet sprinkling of diamonds. There was also a box of luxury chocolates for her and a mug declaring her to be the loveliest and best wife in the world.
Neither of them had been able to find a card they liked in any of the shops they'd been in, so they had made their own.
Sandy, being less artistically gifted than Kirsten, had found scraps of all shades of red card and had stuck them on a piece of folded black card in the shape of a heart. In the centre of the card, he'd stuck a scanned picture of them kissing. He'd written "Happy 10th Anniversary..." on the front of the card, and inside, the message continued, "to my wonderful wife".
Kirsten's offering was on plain white card, and sh'd sketched a picture of them kissing, based on their wedding photograph. She'd kept it monochrome, simply using red ink. She'd also created a border round the picture, which was of tiny 10s, the 0 of each one shaped like a heart. They kissed again after admiring eachother's handiwork and reading the messages they'd written to eachother.
A knock on the door made them pull away, and Seth scampered in, grinning madly once they'd said he could come in. He held his hands behind his back as he rushed over to their big bed and then presented them with an envelope that was for both of them and a present each.
They opened the envelope first, revealing a card that Seth had drawn himself. It was of two cartoon characters who seemed to be holding hands in a park.
One of the characters was female, clad in a beautiful red dress and had blonde hair cascading down her back, piercing blue eyes and lots of silver jewellery, represented by silver pen. The resemblance to Kirsten was uncanny, he seemed to have captured her quiet intensity and love for her husband and son in an amazing way. The character she was holding hands with was male, taller and darker and seemed to have one eyebrow rather than two. His eyes were blue too, but a shade that was different to the woman's, yet equally piercing and intense. He was dressed in a navy suit and wore a pale blue shirt and tie and was obviously supposed to be Sandy. Both people in the picture were smiling happily, and tied to a tree in the background were some heart shaped balloons bearing the number 10.
Seth had written Happy 10th Anniversary on the front of the card, and inside, he'd proceeded to tell his parents just how glad he was that they were his Mommy and Daddy, as they were the best in the world and he loved them very very much.
Both parents kissed him and said thank you before hoisting their son between them in their king-sized bed. They then began opening the gifts Seth had chosen for them.
The presents turned out to be mugs claiming that they were respectively the best Mommy and Daddy in the world. The three of them cuddled up together and then both parents began tickling Seth. They stayed in bed together, all three of them talking and hugging until it was time to get up and go to school or work.
