Today was izuru's third birthday. I had everything planned out for his birthday party except for one thing…what to get him as a present. I had asked usagi what he thought he might like, but all he said was that he likes all sorts of toys, and ended it on that. It frustrated me that I didn't know what my little boy would want on his birthday, but then again I was throwing him a big birthday party, maybe that could count as a present?

No, he isn't old enough to respect such a gift! *sigh* I wish I knew what to get him.

"Usagi, watch izuru while I'm gone, I'm going shopping! Oh and there might be some early guests so make sure to greet then nicely!" from where I was at the door I could hear usagi grumble and let out an annoyed sigh.

"Yeah, yeah, I hear you…bye! Be safe!" I smiled at the last part and yelled back,

"I will!" and with that I left.

I drove to a popular toy store that usagi used to drag me to, to get limited edition hard to find teddy bears in which he collects. It was a small toy store, but it was filled with everything that a child would love. I began to walk through the store, aimlessly looking for a toy that would please my little one. The store clerk saw my wondering and decided to see if he can help.

"Excuse me, would you like any help in finding something?" I nodded my head and looked up to the tall clerk, he had sappy brownish orange hair with beautiful golden eyes that almost seemed to glow, and he was a very pretty person.

"Umm, yes…in looking for a present for my three year old…do you have any suggestions?" the man rubbed his chin in thought, then quickly pointed to the other side of the store.

"On the other side of the store, there is a sign that says toddler toys, the whole wall if full of 'em! I can walk over there with you if you'd like…" I nodded my head again and let him lead the way. When we got there, I was astonished at how many toys they could fit on one side of the store. The clerk began to look through the toys to help me find a good gift.

"So, is your three year old a boy or a girl?"

"Eh umm, he's a boy…"

"Oh okay, I was about to show you this cute princess doll…but since he's a boy, I don't think he would like that too much…so eh…what does he like?" I looked up to the taller man, then back the big dinosaur pack I was looking at.

"I…I really don't know…" the man sweat dropped then quickly looked back to the toys.

"Oh! How about this? It's a pull along alligator!" I immediately waved off the idea and looked at the man.

"He doesn't like scary things…and he would cry if he saw that…" the man looked warily at me then back at the toys.

"Well how about this? It's a drum from baby concert." I looked at him with an 'are you kidding me look' and sighed.

"My partner would probably smash it to pieces the minute he started playing…" the man again looked down, this time a little more frustrated. I just happened to look up to one of the shelves to find a huge plush duck, which was even bigger than satsuki (sp)! I pointed up to the shelf and got the man's attention.

"How much is that duck up there?" the man looked up and sweat dropped again. He got the duck down and looked at the price.

"Its 2050 yen, it's actually not a bad price for a stuffed animal of this size." I took out my money and shoved it in the man's face.

"I'll take it!" and with that I left with the big yellow duck in my arms.

When I got home, I was greeted by the loud chatting of people. My brother and sister in law where already at the house, and chatting away with usagi, while izuru was nowhere in sight.

"I'm home!"

"Ah! Welcome back misaki…and before you get worried, izuru is taking a nap in our room." I nodded my head and went into the living room where everyone was.

"hi onii chan…ane chan…" they both smiled and gave me a hug.

"Welcome back misaki…oh, what do you have there?" I smiled brightly at their question.

"It's my present for izuru…I hope he likes It." my brother patted me on the back and smiled at me.

"I'm sure he will."

The day passed along like the wind and so did the party. I fixed a special dinner for everyone and after we ate, I served his homemade birthday cake. He blew out the candles and we ate. After about an hour of chatting away finally let little izuru to open his presents. He got a lot of gifts, but the one he played with the most was his big duck he named 'ahiru chan. ' when all the guests were gone, I picked up izuru who was yawning tiredly and brought him to his room.

"Did you like your birthday party izuru?" izuru nodded and hugged his big, soft duck.

"I liked it when I got ahiru chan!" I smiled and rubbed his cheek.

"And why is that?" izuru smiled sleepily then kissed me on the cheek.

"Because I got it from daddy!" and with that he drifted off into sleep, still hugging his beloved duck. I went into our room and snuck into bed with usagi.

"so what did he say about his birthday?" I smiled and kissed usagi on the lips.

"He said he liked my present the most!"

"eh, is that so?" I nodded my head and scooted closer to usagi.

"yeah, and he only liked it because it came from me…" and with that I curled up into usagi and fell asleep, dreaming of my little izuru and the fuzzy duck.
