Chapter 10: Drifting Away: Part 2

I get out the car and Ian goes back to the trunk grabbing a big rectangle box wrapped in sparkly blue paper.

"What might that be mister?"

"A present that you will get later along with some others let's go."

We walk up to the door and I expect Ian to open it. I look up at him with a raised eyebrow and that's when he pulls out his key. "You're so predictable."

"I'm not predictable you just know me well." He pushes the door open and I walk in.

"Surprise!"

"Jesus Christ," I practically jump out of my skin but smile when I take in all the people that are there. "I wasn't expecting every person I have ever met."

Cheynne grabs my hand and leads me over to my first love, food. "All your favorites and cravings right here then your mountain of gifts are in the kitchen with the cake and," She turns around and hands me a Shirley Temple, "Don't worry it's a virgin I separated the alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks so no slip ups."

"Thank you," I take a sip just as someone taps me on the shoulder. I turn around to see Tyler, "Um hi I haven't seen you in forever."

"I know I'm sorry," He places his hands on my arms and kisses my cheek, "How are you feeling birthday girl?"

"Tired already but good it's nice to see everyone."

"You look good, happy."

"I can honestly say I am for the first time in a while." I pull him into a hug, "I missed you."

"I missed you too I'm only a phone call away. You do know Ian is staring."

We pull apart, "Yeah I can feel his angry rays but who cares? It's my birthday and I'll hug who I want to."

"I take it that you're f-"

"Yup I'm officially doing it later this weekend."

"I'm here if you need me."

"I know."

After I finally finish talking to everyone and having laughs, I'm forced to sit down. I look around as everyone grabs a drink and I feel a toast coming on.

Michael Trevino puts his hand in the air, "I volunteer to go first I promise to keep it short and sweet. Tiara Gr- excuse me Somerhalder is a piece of work. I knew the first day I met her that she was different and down to earth and that is exactly what TVD needed. I can honestly stand here and say I love her to death. Tiara is one of those people you can't help but love no matter what they do. I want you to know that no matter what I will be there for you especially since Ian is going to be playing Mr. Grey in Seattle starting tomorrow." He tips his beer in my direction, "Happy birthday beautiful now who's next?"

"I'll step up," I see the crowd part for my other best friend Lauren. "Oh where to begin? We have had our rough patches but after it all, you are like a sister to me. It truly has been like watching my child grow up in front of me because you have changed a lot. You have matured and found that self-confidence we all knew you had. You are great at everything you do and I can't wait to see you with that little miracle of yours. I love you so much happy birthday!"

"Time for me to speak about practically my sister in law," Cody moves past all the people until he can be seen. "I'm proud to say that I got to you first before Ian bad mouthed me. You are truly my best friend and I know if I don't feel comfortable talking to anyone I can come to you. I think everyone would agree when I say that you have worked wonders on all of us. There isn't anything that you can't achieve you reach for the stars and conquer. I know that you will be a great mother to your little b-"

I narrow my eyes at him before he spills beans, "Bundle of joy and I can't wait to spoil them like an uncle should. Happy birthday and hope to be at many more."

"I think we have saved the best for last." I roll my eyes at Ian's cockiness. He saunters up to the front of the crowd beer in hand, "First and for most thank you for putting up with my bullshit no other woman could. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't love you more and more than the last. We have been through a lot and I know that's the understatement of the year. At the top of the Space Needle a year from today, I really didn't think you would say yes ever but here we are. I couldn't ask for a better wife, best friend, or mother of my child I'm truly grateful to have you. It's not a secret that I've hurt you over the past couple of months but I promise to make it up to you somehow not because of guilt but because you deserve it. I love you forever and always happy birthday."

He finishes with a smile that I reciprocate, "Thank you everyone now bring on the cake and presents!" Ian comes over and helps me up, "Thank you kind sir."

"You're welcome my lady."

"Do you know what kind of cake I got?"

"Italian cream I remembered it was your favorite."

"Gosh I love you," I don't realize the impact of my words until it's too late. I decide not to take it back since it's the truth. We're one of the last to make it into the kitchen where a three-tier cake with lit up candles awaits me. I feel the moving around of a happy Christian, "I guess he likes Italian cream cake too."

Of course, everyone insists on singing happy birthday but all I want is to dive head first into the cake. I blow out all the candles and Cheynne cuts me a giant piece that I intend to devour. One by one people hand me gifts some for the baby and some for me. Cheynne has a conniving smile on her face that makes me question opening her gift.

"Can you just tell me what it is?"

"Nope."

I peek under the top of the rectangle box. "Cheynne! Why would you get me that?"

"Well I read your sex drive goes through the roof and since you won't let I-"

"Shut up! Shh no stop right there that comment has no choice but to go down."

"What is it?" Ian asks.

I slide the box over to him and he completely takes the top off, "Whoa well at least it's not bigger than me."

"Oh my gosh!" I put the top back on, "Moving on to hopefully less inappropriate things."

"Everything that is left is from Ian," Cody announces.

"Bring it on then."

Ian gets up, "I'll show you the rest later but this is your main gift." He picks up the giant rectangle and puts it on the table.

I walk up to it and glance at Ian who looks super nervous. I untie the white ribbon then take the top off. My eyes widen trying to take it all in but that's almost impossible when tears start to cloud my vision. It's one giant picture made up of pictures that Ian took of me and him, wedding photos, shots from London and Seattle, but the picture in the middle is the biggest of me and him dancing on TVD when I realized he loved me. I wipe away the tears looking at our love story right here in front of me.

"Do you like it?"

I wrap my arms around Ian, "I love it its perfect."

I carefully get out of bed making sure not to move it too much. I pull on the first shirt I feel on the floor and tip toe out the room. I head downstairs and take out the left over cake from earlier. It takes me a second to realize I'm in Ian's shirt smelling like Dolce & Gabbana I'm surprised I can even fit it. Just as I grab a fork rejoicing a little about successfully sneaking away I hear someone coming downstairs.

"Hmm in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant … in my shirt I could get used to it."

I turn around to see Ian standing in the doorway with only black boxers on one hand in his hair and the other on his hip. I take a deep breath and exhale slowly skimming over every perfectly defined muscle. Gosh why does he have to be even more muscular than before… Cheynne's gift seems very useful now.

"Um want a fork?"

"Sure."

I turn around then freeze, "I can feel you staring at my ass."

"Well it is showing."

I roll my eyes and grab another fork then hand it to him. We sit there in silence for a little bit until I find something to talk about.

"Are you going to have to cover up your tattoos?"

"It's being debated but I think I want to since I don't want to ruin the mental picture of Christian Grey in everyone's minds."

"So that means dying your hair back and cutting it?"

"That's being debated too. Thank you for letting me stay the night."

"You asked so nicely how could I not?" I can't help but keep staring at his body.

"Stop it with the lip you're still sexy as hell I don't have any problems with fucking you."

"I really am debating it."

He raises an eyebrow and melts my ovaries with his smirk. "I'll rock your world."

I wipe my finger across the left over frosting, "Possibly." I suck it off then throw the actual cake part away.

"I know what you're doing."

"I know what you want to do."

"Will you let me?"

"Hmm I would but you have to wake up really early tomorrow to leave."

"I'll run on coffee!"

"Nope," I walk out the kitchen and Ian follows me.

"I'll sleep on the plane I'll be fine."

"Oh no that wouldn't be fair I don't want to impact your work performance."

"You'll make it better trust me my right arm is way stronger than my left."

"Sounds like a personal problem."

Ian groans walking upstairs with me. Once in bed we get into our previous position, him wrapped around his son and I. "You do know that I want you to come with me."

"That might do more harm than good."

"Whatever harm is done I will fix."

"I promise to visit."

I feel his smile against my neck, "Thank you."

Did you really think Tiara would let him get back into her undies that easy? Next chapter it will be Tiara's finally decisions and a trip to Seattle:) Don't forget to review and all that good stuff! Please go read Nothing More tell me what you think so far. Oh there could possibly be the reuniting of Tian soon very soon.
