Nick and Zoe had just finished their long day shift at the ED, luckily it was now Friday though and they both had all weekend off to spend with the kids. As soon as they had done their hand overs they wasted no time in heading to Nick's car, wanting to get home as quick as they could.
"What we going to do about Maisie's birthday on Sunday?" Zoe asked as soon as they sat down in the car. They still hadn't brought her presents yet and they were pushing it to organise a birthday party at this late notice. She felt guilty because Maisie was going to be 13 in two days, her first day of being a teenager and they still hadn't arranged anything special for her.
"We could go shopping now?" Nick suggested. Her birthday had come around so quickly and he really wanted to spoil her with it being a special birthday.
"What about the kids?" Zoe asked, as they were just on their way to pick them up from school.
"Ring your mum?" Nick suggested, she had spent some time with them in a while anyway.
Zoe rang her mum and she immediately agreed to collect the children from school, she loved spending time with them whenever she could. Once they knew that the children had somewhere to go after school, Nick drove to Bristol city center so that they could do a bit of last minute shopping.
"Why don't we get her a phone?" Zoe suggested as she gazed into a phone shop window they had just wandered past. She was forever playing on her phone and she knew she would be ecstatic at the thought of having her own.
"She's a bit young isn't she?" Nick asked. At the age of 13, the majority of Maisie's friends already had their own mobile phones but to Nick she still felt like a baby. The thought of her having this device that created all kinds of potential dangers frightened him a little.
"She's going to be a teenager" Zoe reminded him "At least lets go and have a look?" She tugged at Nick's arm which she had linked with her own and turned him around so that they could go back to the shop.
Nick decided there would be no harm in just having a look "I'm just going to leave all this to you" He laughed. Zoe was always good at choosing presents for them.
After spending about half an hour in the shop looking at every phone possibly available, Zoe had finally talked Nick into buying Maisie a simple blackberry device. He wasn't convinced still but trusted Zoe's decision that Maisie was going to love it. After leaving the phone shop they also decided to go and buy her an i-pod. She wasn't going to want any toys at this age so they decided that these were probably the best options.
As they walked further through the shopping center, Zoe could see a baby shop in the corner of her eye and she couldn't resist going to have a look. She hadn't brought one single thing for him yet.
"How cute are these?" Zoe said, holding up a pair of baby Ugg boots to show Nick.
Nick rolled his eyes "We are not having a designer baby" He chuckled.
"He would look adorable though" Zoe said, trying to twist Nick's arm.
"Maybe when he's older" He suggested, moving on to look at some baby grows.
They finally left the shop 20 minutes later with 3 carrier bags full of clothes and essentials for the baby, along with a carrier seat. At least they were now well equipped for when he arrived.
"Maisie is too spoilt" Nick said as the left the shopping center. He was loaded with shopping bags full of little bits for Maisie's birthday.
"you're only 13 once" Zoe chuckled. She could remember her 13th birthday like it was yesterday and she certainly hadn't had presents as good as these.
"Very true" Nick agreed "Are you hungry?" He asked, turning to look at Zoe with a cheeky smile on his face.
"Starving" Zoe said. She hadn't eaten all day and the effect of this was starting to make her feel ill.
"Come on then" Nick said, walking her over to the other side of the car park where a burger van was parked.
"Oh and there's me thinking you were going to treat me to a posh, romantic meal" Zoe joked.
Nick just grinned at her, "I love hot dogs" He said.
"Yes I know you do" Zoe chuckled as he ordered their food, heading to the car and eating them before they went to pick the children up from Marie's.
