Just some fluff. Sorry for any mistakes in anything. I don't have a beta yet.

I woke up to my alarm blaring loudly in my ear. I have to hurry and turn it off before it wakes up Lauren. It was after all her birthday today which is why I'm up at ten this morning. Lauren hated celebrating her birthday. I never really understood why but I would try not to make a big deal out of.

She had to go to the lab in a few hours so I slip out of bed after placing a soft kiss on her forehead so I can make her breakfast. Just because she didn't like he day didn't mean I couldn't do something for her. I got her three things. Breakfast, her favorite flowers, and a little something else that I hoped she would love.

I get downstairs, dressed in my white tank top and my white hipsters before plugging in her iPod. It felt like a Celine type morning so I put on the playlist of her upbeat songs that Lauren always played when she was in a good mood. She had introduced me into a lot of new music, Celine Dion being some of it. I hit shuffle and I Drove All Night comes on first, one of my favorites. I'm not really sure why, probably because it was something that would happen between Lauren and I. Oh well, the song made me dance.

I bounce over to the fridge while humming to the music before grabbing the eggs, bacon and pancake mix. Next, I went in search for the heart shaped cut out that I had bought for valentines day. I remember Lauren saying it was cute that I made her heart shaped pancakes so it was only logical to make them again for her birthday.

Pulling out a skillet and sitting it on the hot burner, I decide to make the pancakes first. My pancakes always came out perfect and Lauren would just scowled me because she would mess them up some how. I told her it was because she had the heat on the stove up to high but she seemed to forget.

The song changes to River Deep, Mountain High and I can't help but sing along and dance a little more than I was before.

I flip the pancake while moving my hips to the music and tapping my foot to the beat. If I was paying more attention I guess I would've heard Lauren come down the stairs and stand behind me, but me being me I was trapped in my own little bubble dancing away the morning.

Lauren waits until just the right part of the song to place her hands on my hips and move against while song in to the song.

"I love ya baby like a flower loves the spring. And love ya baby just like Tina loves to sing." she sings behind me, I could hear the smile in her voice before she spins me around signaling that I was my turn to continue the verse.

I laugh and throw my arms around her neck as her grip tightens on my waist, "And I love ya baby like a school boy loves his pa. And love ya baby river deep, mountain high."

I turn back around to the stove, still dancing with Lauren pressed up against me, and flip the pancake that was finally done.

The song ends just as I place the song ends and Lauren grabs the remote for the stereo to turn it down until it's playing softly in the background.

"Mmm, what are you doing up missy?" I ask as she snakes her arms back around my waist, letting her hands rest on my stomach.

Lauren nuzzles my neck while placing soft kisses here and there, "The bed was cold without you." she says simply.

I smile to myself and continue to making the last pancake, "Well, I just had to do something for you today."

"You know I hate when you do this babe." she sighs and squeezes my hips. "We've been together for six years now and you still think it's necessary to do something for my stupid birthday."

"Today's your birthday?" I ask with a smirk.

"Bo." she scolds softly before kissing my shoulder blade, "Baby, you don't have to do anything for my birthday. I'd much rather pretend that's it's just a normal Thursday if you don't mind."

I nod to myself while placing the finished pancake on a different plate, "And I'm just making my girlfriend breakfast before she has to go to work if you don't mind."

"Bo." she whines and steps away from me.

Turning around I stick my tongue out at her, "Go take a shower so you can eat before going to work. I know how you get when you get with your mistress."

She chuckles, "Why do you call science my mistress?"

"Because that's what she is." I kiss her lips softly before I trail my lips down her jaw and too her neck, "I always come first." I nip softly at her skin while whispering to her, "You come home to me everyday, not science."

"Mmm." she hums and threads her fingers through me hair. "That is true."

"I know it is." I say smugly and extract myself from the crook of her neck, "Now go upstairs and get ready. Breakfast will be ready when you come down."

She sighs before pecking my cheek and going upstairs. If she wanted me to pretend it wasn't her birthday I would but I already had the flowers and the other surprise so there was no reason for me to just finish that plan through.

While Lauren was in the shower I went into the bedroom and laid the flowers out in a heart on the bed. Daffodils and red carnations were her favorite and that's what I got.

In the middle of the heart as a card and a necklace box. At first it was only supposed to be flowers and a card but I saw the antique at a store and I just had to get it for Lauren. She loved antiques, especially shiny antiques. If she was angry about this then I don't know what I would do because I put thought into it.

After the bed was situated I brought the breakfast tray upstairs as well. Both of our plates and two glass of orange juice ready to enjoy.

I quickly slip into my favorite jeans and my black v-neck before I bush out my hair and take a seat at the end of the bed.

When Lauren comes out of the bathroom my breath catches in my throat. Six years and she was still the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. She was dressed in her grey slacks and white button up. Her hair was obviously blow dried because it looked amazing. Lauren was effortlessly sexy and I openly showed her just how much I actually did love how she looked as often as possible.

"Pick your tongue up of the ground babe." Lauren says smugly, pulling me out of my admiration.

I shrug, "Just checkin out the view."

"Mmm." she hums and walks over to stand in between my legs. "You got my favorite flowers and a necklace?" she asks, her hands sliding through my brown hair as she looks at the present behind me.

"I know you hate presents but I just like to do stuff for you anyway. It's nothing too big and if you don't like it we can always go back and get you something different." I ramble on. "I don't even know if you will like it...I just um, I saw it and thought of you and..."

Lauren leans down and kisses my forehead, effectively ending my rambling. "I'm sure I'll love it."

I smile and nod as I pull the breakfast tray from behind me, "We can eat first. You don't have that much time before you have to go."

She takes her plate from the tray with a smile. I had made a little smiley face on the pancake using whipped cream and strawberries just to see that silly smile and it was obviously working.

We eat in a comfortable silence until Lauren decides to break it.

"What you gonna do while I'm at the lab?" she asks, her food in one cheek.

I smile and take another bite of food, "I have to analyze a few reports and write a speech."

"Speech? For what?"

"There's some dinner in a few weeks that my boss wants me to speak at. I was gonna tell her about it when it got closer." I look at her with a wink, "You always gotta be my plus one babe."

She laughs and finishes off her orange juice, "Damn right."

Lauren takes the last few bites of her eggs and washes it down with some of my orange juice causing me to smile softly.

"You didn't eat all of your food." she says and scolds me softly.

I didn't finish all of it. There was a little bit of pancake left and a bunch of eggs. If I was being truthfully I wasn't really that hungry. I just wanted to share breakfast with my girlfriend.

Lauren sighs heavily and places my plate over her empty one as she lays then on their original tray. "Come on, show me the gift now." she says with a smile.

I lean back and grab the box, doing my best not to mess up the flowers in the process, "I dont know if you'll actually like it but it reminded me of you so..."

Lauren takes the case from me and owns it slowly. "Bo..." she sighs and looks from me to the necklace. "Babe.." she sighs again.

"Do you like it?" I ask hopefully.

She nods and pulls it out of it's box, "It's not an engagement ring but it's just as beautiful."

I laugh, "Who said I don't have one of those?"

Her eyes grow wide as she looks at me, "You got an engagement ring."

I shrug, "Maybe I did...maybe I didn't. You're always expecting it so when I do pop the question it's gonna be a surprise."

She pushes my shoulder with a laugh, "You're no fun." she says before handing me the necklace. "Put it on me?"

I stand and turn her around so I can hook the necklace around her.

When she turn to me I have to smile. The necklace looks better than I imagined it would.

"Thank you." she says softly and places a lingering kiss on my lips. "Thank you so much for getting me a birthday present even though I hate birthdays."

I smile and kiss her back, "You are most welcome my dear."
