I turned to my side where my bed was empty; Wade must have been at work. This light from the sun had waked me up. I rubbed my eyes as I slowly got up, my stomach was feeling weak. I knew the baby must have been hungry as well as me. After freshening up, I walked downstairs where Molly was in the kitchen and next to her was Adele.

"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" I asked the little girl as I sat next to her.

"Today's a special day, so Daddy said I didn't have to go to school" she said.

"A special day?" I asked.

She giggled as she finished the rest of her cereal. Molly smiled at me, "Honestly dear, you don't know what today is?"

My cheeks turned red from embarrassment, I laughed thinking how stupid I was to forget this special day. That I turned another year older today. Today I turned 30; it felt like a huge milestone. But I was happy with how my life was sure before I had been through a lot of obstacles but today I was feeling content with my life. Everything seemed to be going perfectly, my Dad had found someone that made him happy, I owned my own gallery, I was engaged to a wonderful man who I loved, who with him included a new and amazing family, plus I was pregnant and excited about being a mother. Everything was perfect.

"How could I forget?" I buried my face with my hands.

"Happy Birthday Mum!" yelled Adele. She put her little arms around me.

"Thank you." I kissed her soft cheek, her adorable smile just made me love her so much.

"Happy Birthday dear" said Molly.

"Thank you so much, I don't know how I forgot."

"Too much has been happening."

I nodded, "A lot has been happening, my mind seems to be consumed by everything else."

"So what do you want to today?" asked Adele.

"I don't know, I'll do whatever you want to do."

"There's a carnival that's been on all week, could we go to that?" she asked.

"Of course, we'll all go" I said looking at Molly.

Adele grinned happily as she quickly rushed through her cereal, "Let's go!" Her excitement was adorable; I guess it had been a while since she got to go somewhere where she could have fun. There wasn't much that I wanted to do, so at least if I could be with Adele I was happy.

"Do you want something dear?" asked Molly.

I shook my head, "I'm fine. You guys get ready and I'll be done soon."

Molly smiled as she took Adele away. I looked around the kitchen for something to eat, I just gaped at the fridge nothing was really striking out at me, I was deciding between bacon or sausages. I was absolutely craving meat. This idea that my baby would come out with muscles like Wade kept playing in my mind. I decided on bacon and decided to make some scrambled eggs as well. I placed the food on the kitchen bench, when my eyes were covered by two large hands. I touched the hands knowing who it was; I could smell his strong, musky cologne it was all I could smell. His hot breath heated my ear as he spoke, "Happy Birthday Beautiful."

His accent made me feel weak as he lowered his hands; I turned around and looked up at my English fiancé. This smirk on his face as his green eyes gaped at me.

"Thank you, but what are you doing here?" I asked. I was excited to see that he was home.

"Well, I thought it was your birthday today and that I wanted you to have the best day of your life. So I took the day off work, the office will be fine. My family and my soon to be wife is more important" he said.

"Are you sure? I don't want anything wrong to happen at the office because you're not there."

He smiled, "I'd much rather be with you, besides Phillip and Drew are there, not to mention Adele. It will be fine and if the office goes down, I'll just buy another one."

I grinned, "I'm glad you're here."

"So what's the agenda for today?" he said rubbing his hands.

"Your daughter suggested that we go to a carnival."

"That sounds like a great idea! That would be a lot of fun!"

I was surprised by his sudden interest in carnival; I could never picture him there. "All of us are going, even Molly and Peter."

"Excellent! The whole family" he said.

"But first baby and I need food." I glared at the food that was awaiting me.

Wade chuckled, "I'll cook for you."

"No it's alright; I don't want to trouble you."

"My dear Lea, you underestimate my skills in the kitchen" he said.

"That's because you really don't have any" I joked.

He shook his head, "This will be great, you watch."

I chuckled, "Alright cook me breakfast!"

Wade winked at me as he greased the pan and began cooking, "See too easy."

"So far so good."

He grinned as he continued to cook while I watched; he seemed to know what he was doing. I was quite impressed. He plated the food up for me and put it in front of me, "Bon Appétit birthday girl."

Grabbing my fork, I scooped up some of the eggs and placed in my mouth. "Good job for an amateur, the baby loves it too."

He sneered, "Of course they're going to love their Dad's cooking."

Hormones began kicking in again and I began feeling tears in my eyes, I always loved when Wade talked about our child so fondly, it made me love him so much that we were having a child together. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around me, "Come on birthday girl, you got to stop the tears."

I pressed my lips to his as he engulfed mine. His hands slid down to my hips then he lifted me gently onto the counter. His placed his hands up and down my thighs; our kisses became more and more rough. His tongue circled my mouth until I pulled away, "I think I'm entitled to some birthday sex?"

He grinned as he licked his lips, "I think we have time, I'll be gentle."

...

The five of us were at the carnival. Wade and Adele had been dragging Molly and Peter on to all of the rides, me being pregnant meant I couldn't go on the rides but I watched on taking photos of every moment. Adele was enjoying herself very much and I think she was even happier to see Wade come out with her, since they had moved here he was very much consumed by work. It was nice to see them all be together and doing something fun. I was watching this man win this large plush toy for his wife by knocking down a tower of metal cups. The woman hugged her husband as he she then placed a kiss on his lips. The two walked away; hand in hand the woman looked very happy with her new toy.

The four of them returned all with their hair all frizzed up because of the pace of the rollercoaster. Wade watched me stare at the couple, "You want a toy, Lea?"

I blushed then shook my head, "No its okay."

"I can get you one" he said confidently.

"Get her a toy Daddy" said Adele.

Wade smiled picking Adele up, "Let's show her how it's done." He dragged me off my seat and we stood in front of the ball throwing stand. "Which one do you want?"

I gazed up at all of the toys that hung above me and then a large plush husky caught my attention. "I want the husky."

"The dog?" he asked.

I nodded.

Wade signalled to the boy, he handed him three balls and Wade handed him some money. Adele and I watched intently as Wade took a breath before throwing each ball but each throw was not strong enough to knock down any of the metal cups. Wade looked disappointed, I kissed him on the cheek, "It's alright. I don't want it anyway."

Adele looked sad as well, "Hey how about we get some ice cream?" I put my hand out and she held on as we walked away to the stand selling ice cream.

Wade turned his attention back to the boy. "Look it's her birthday; can't I just have the dog?"

"Sorry you didn't win, I can't just give your girlfriend the dog" he argued.

"She's not my girlfriend... she's my... wife" said Wade watching Adele and I eating our ice cream cones, "Look I'll pay whatever, how's $100?"

The guy didn't look persuaded enough.

"Alright... $200?"

"Okay" he said pulling the giant husky down from the top and handing it to Wade.

Wade gave him the money and walked away happily as he approached us, "Look what I have."

I grinned with excitement, "You got me the husky!"

He smiled, "I just wanted to see you happy."

I stole a kiss from him and admired my giant new toy.

...

We were driving back to the house, I could see that Adele had already fallen asleep and I had given her my husky to cuddle with. "This was the best birthday" I said.

Wade smiled as he pulled into the driveway, "It's not over yet."

We walked inside the house and I was absolutely stunned by the amount of people who were there in our living room. There were so many faces smiling at me, I felt a little embarrassed for being so under dressed while everyone else looked so overly dressed. The room was decorated in balloons, streamers and banners it just looked wonderful. Phil and Adele rushed over to me, huge grins on their faces "Happy Birthday Lea!"

"Thank you" I said hugging the couple, "But how so many people get into our house, while we were away?"

"Wade gave me a key" said Adele with a smirk.

"It was all your man, we just helped with a few things" said Phil.

I looked at Wade, he just smiled kindly as he held his daughter in his arms, she lay asleep on his shoulder with the giant husky in her arms. "I'll be back" he said as he headed upstairs.

I nodded, smiling at him. I couldn't believe how much he had done for me, just to make me happy on my birthday. He was just incredible and I felt so fortunate to be engaged to him and to be having his baby. I watched him walk upstairs when I felt myself be engulfed in a hug by my father, "Happy Birthday kid! The big three- zero!"

"Yeah I'm the big 30." I then looked at Stephanie who was happily smiling next to him.

"Thank you for coming" I said, "Both of you."

"We wouldn't miss it" said Stephanie.

...

After a change of outfit, Wade was dressed in his uniform suit while I chose to wear my strapless, turquoise tulle dress with gold heels. I walked through the party and was surprised to see one of the guests. "Alex?"

She walked toward me, "Happy Birthday Lea!"

"Thank you, I'm so glad you're here" I said, "Is John with you?"

"No... He's in Miami. He quit his job at the sports agency and began working with his brother and Taylor with the club" she said.

How I missed Taylor and people in Miami. "That's great, I know they'll all do great together now that Nicole is history."

She nodded, "I hope this isn't awkward, I know a few months ago you were supposed to be getting married to John and now I am..."

"You are?" I said surprised.

"Yes" she said showing off her ring, "He asked me a couple of weeks ago."

"I'm guessing after he found out that he wasn't a father" I said.

She chuckled, "Something like that."

"Really Alex, I'm happy for you and John. You two deserve each other" I said.

"I'm glad and congratulation to you and Wade, he told me the news earlier" she said.

"Give my regards to John and everyone down there, I should really go see them. Especially Taylor she was a really good friend to me."

"She'll be happy to hear that" she said, "Anyway I gave Wade the wedding invitation, we've already set the date."

"Wow, that's great, I can't wait... hopefully I'll be due by then."

Alex frowned, "It's actually in three months."

I panicked at the idea of going to the wedding of my ex fiancé and good friend with a gigantic stomach, "Um... on second thought maybe just Wade will go."

"Come on Lea, we want the both of you to be there" she begged.

I sighed, "Of course I'll be there."

"Thank you" she said excited. She looked to the side of me, "It looks like someone is waiting for you."

I followed her gaze where another ex love of mine stood; he smirked as he held out a wrapped box. I smiled as I walked over to him, "Glad you could come, Randy."

"Happy birthday Lea" he said hugging me, "Thirty aye! Wow, you look thirty but still the mind of a fifteen year old."

I shook my head, "Trust you to make me feel good."

"I'm just kidding; I wouldn't think you're a day over twenty one" he said, "Still as beautiful."

A chuckle left my lips, "Thanks." I glared at the box wondering what he got me.

"Here you go" he said handing it to me, "The suspense is thrilling."

I ripped through the red wrapping paper that covered the box, I opened it to discover an old, worn out looking photo album. I looked at him confused as to what was inside; he just smiled as he watched me look through it. I turned to the first page and there was six year old little boy and a five year old little girl playing in a sandbox. The next page was the two of us playing on the same soccer team when we were in school. The pictures continued to show us as we grew older; the two of us in high school, at prom and then college. There was various other photos from birthdays, holidays and dinners.

"This is amazing" I said still flicking through it.

"My Mum found it, I thought maybe you'd like it" he said.

"You're talking to your mum?" I was surprised but happy to hear.

He nodded, "I was at their house today just talking about some things."

"I'm glad."

"I heard from the guys at work that you aren't working with me anymore" he said.

"Yeah... I actually am the owner of my own art gallery. It's my dream come true, Wade gave it to me."

"I'm glad Barrett could give that to you, I'm glad he makes you so happy Lea."

I smiled, "I just want you to be happy. I'm worried about you."

"You don't need to worry about me, I'll be fine" he said, "Anyway I wanted to see Adele, thought she'd be happy to see me."

"She's asleep, we went to the carnival in the day and she was exhausted" I explained.

"Next time then, tell her I said hello."

"You're leaving?"

"Yeah, just wanted to see you then I'm going to head off, have a lot of work to do."

"Alright, thank you for coming anyway and for the present."

"You're welcome Lea" he said walking away.
...

The party was over and I had a huge amount of fun and it was all thanks to my fiancé, he was incredible to me. Adele and Phil stayed the night, Wade offered them one of the many bedrooms since they were both very drunk and neither could drive home. He just urged them to promise not to get too crazy.

"I can't really promise you that, Wade" said Phil as he took Adele's hand into the bedroom.

Adele just shrugged her shoulders as she followed her fiancé inside the room. Wade shook his head as he made his way to his own bedroom. I was standing in the bathroom brushing my teeth, going over the day and how incredible it was. It was truly the best birthday I had ever had. Wade walked in behind me and began kissing my neck and then my shoulders, "I hope you had a good birthday" he murmured.

I washed out my mouth and wrapped my arms around his neck, "It was the best birthday because of you."

"I did it to make you happy" he said, "You always look so beautiful when you're smiling."

I could feel my cheeks blush, "You just look good all the time."

We both lay next to each other on our bed, wrapping the covers over our bodies. "There's something else I got you."

"Really Wade, you've got me enough" I said, "It's enough; I don't deserve to be this spoilt."

"Yes you do now close your eyes" he ordered.

I did as he said and closed my eyes. I could feel his fingers circle my wrist and could feel the weight of something dangle from it.

"Open your eyes."

I looked down at my wrist, where this white diamond bracelet hung around my wrist; I looked at it in awe. This must have cost a fortune, "It's beautiful."

"Just like you" he said playing with my hair.

"It's amazing, thank you" I said kissing his lips, "How did I get so lucky?"

He grinned, "I have some more news for you... Doctor Neidhart was saying that next time we go to see her, we can see the sex of the baby."

I touched my stomach, "Wow, I wonder what we're having maybe a strong muscled boy like you."

"Maybe a kind sweet girl like you" he said wrapping his arm around me.

"Wade..." I said.

"Yes" he said.

"I don't think I've ever loved anybody as much as I love you, I just wanted you to know that."

He kissed my lips, "I feel the same way." He tightened his grip around me and began falling asleep.

I chuckled listening to him begin to snore, this was something I could fall asleep listening to forever. I was happy in my life and even though I did care for Randy, I wasn't going to upset or hurt Wade and anyone else living here by going to live with Randy. I snuggled next to Wade happily as he snored away.
