Adam: 45.

I don't own Adam, Jessica, Lucas and Amelia, but I do own Sarah - Louise.

This was prompted by "LindaAndrewsfan" with the prompt: It's Adam's birthday and Jessica makes him a birthday cake.

I know I updated this earlier, but I finished this chapter and decided to put it up.

Any spelling or grammar mistakes are mine.


The Secret Life Of Casualty

Chapter 126.

It was a few days, before Adam's birthday, and Jessica still had a lot to do: she had to take Lucas and Amelia shopping to get Adam a present and then she had to get him something from her. She had to make Adam's cake, she knew she wasn't the best baker in the world, she remembered trying to make Amelia's cake for her 1st birthday, and she had made a mess of it.

"What you doing?" Adam said, kissing her head.

She knew telling him would blow the surprise.

"I'm fine" She told him, kissing him on the lips.

"Good " Adam said. "Where are you going?"

"I'm meeting Zoe for a coffee, " She lied, picking up her coat and handbag. She put her bag over her shoulder and left the house, heading to her car. She unlocked it and got in behind the wheel and drove in to town.


In town, Lucas and Amelia had brought Adam an X- box game and Jessica had brought Adam a watch. She knew it was a lot of money to be spending on him, but she also knew that she loved him.

Jessica returned home and she knew she had to make a start on his birthday cake.

She got out a bowl and the ingredients that she needed.


Tess had given Jess the day off, so she could concentrate on getting things ready for Adam.

"Mum, can you tell her " Amelia, who was trying to concentrate on her maths homework, was getting frustrated as it was important work. She was in year 8 at school and she knew that if she wanted to be a nurse like her mother, she had to work hard to get the grades that she needed.

Jessica had an idea, she still had a box of Amelia's baby toys, in her bedroom. She took her friends daughter by the hand and led her up the stairs to Amelia's room. She headed in and picked up the pink box and carried it downstairs, in to the living room.

"Mill, Mill. " Sarah said.

"Mum " Amelia complained.

"OK" Jessica said, as she walked in to the dining room.

"Sarah - Louise, no " Linda said, she knew that Jessica was busy.

Sarah - Louise made a grab for the cake and Jessica knew that she couldn't let Adam see it, otherwise she knew her plan was ruined.


Linda and Sarah - Louise, headed back to the flat, Linda told Jess that she would see her tomorrow for the big day. Jessica nodded and thanked Linda for her help. Linda made her daughter a drink and then took her to bed. She walked down the hallway to make sure that the front door was locked and then went to her bedroom.


Jessica, Lucas and Amelia, were downstairs, it was the day of Adam's birthday and he was lying in bed, waiting for Jessica to come back up, unknown to him, his wife was making him breakfast and then she was taking it up to him.

Jessica had texted Linda as Linda had offered to help her with anything she needed, she asked her to take the cake over to the venue.

"Happy birthday Adam " Jessica kissed her husband's cheek.

"Thanks Jess " Adam replied, returning her kiss.

Jess had asked Charlie to take Adam to his place so that she could get ready in the house with Zoe, and then Charlie had to bring him back for the party.

She looked in her wardrobe, she didn't own many dresses and decided to wear the dress that she wore when she first met Adam, as she knew that he liked the dress. She slipped in to it and then put on a pair of black heels. She sprayed on some perfume and then picked up her clutch bag, checking that her phone and purse was in there, as well, as her car keys and house keys.

Then, her and Zoe got a taxi, Jessica was excited, Zoe squeezed her hand as they got nearer to the venue.


"What's going on?" Adam asked, Jessica was beside him and Linda and Zoe were already inside, with Lucas and Amelia.

Jessica knew she had to play dumb. "I don't know" She said.

"Surprise" Adam stared as Jessica led him, blindfolded in to a large building as various colleague's jumped up at him: May, Yuki, Nick, Lenny, Zoe, Tess, Charlie, Jay, Ruth, Tom and Cal and Ethan.

Adam stared at Jessica. "What?"

Jessica shrugged. "I wanted to surprise you"

Adam hugged and kissed her.

"Lenny, what are you doing here?" Linda asked in surprise, she was sat at the bar, and she was drinking a vodka and coke.

"Jessica called me over, " He replied.

Linda nodded as she took a sip of her drink.

"I missed you" Lenny told her quietly.

Linda nodded as Lenny hugged her. Happy tears rolled down her cheeks. Jessica noticed and walked over to her friend.

"You OK?" She asked.

"Yeah " Linda nodded.

"Fine" Jessica replied as she walked back over to Adam.


Jessica sat at a table, drinking an orange juice and talking to Tess.

"Will you dance with me?" Adam asked. He had been catching up with Lenny and Jay.

"Sure " Jessica smiled, as her husband took her hand and led her on the dance floor. He twirled her around to the music that was playing and that was: Little Mix. "Black Magic. "

Jessica looked at Adam dancing with Sarah - Louise, who had her blonde hair curled and she was wearing a pink dress and she felt a pang, Harry should have been here to see his dad enjoy his birthday.

"Speech " Cal shouted.

Adam grimaced, he didn't like making speeches, so he left it short. "Thank you guys" He said in to the microphone.


Adam slung his arm around his wife, who blinked back the tears, as they sat at their son's grave, she knew it was Adam's day so she didn't want to ruin that.

"Hey, it's ok " Adam rubbed her cheek. "Shush"


Adam and Jess were now at home, Adam was on the couch and Jessica was lying on top of him and Amelia had decided that it was time to give Adam his presents. The kids went and got them from Jessica's room.

"What are they?" Adam asked.

"Open them" Amelia said.

Adam did, as he was told and unwrapped the present that Lucas got him, first.

"Thanks Lucas " Adam replied, it was the new Fifa game.

"I'll race you, " Said Lucas.

"Your on " Adam laughed. He then picked up Jessica's present and unwrapped it. There was a box, inside there was a watch, it was a Rip Curl Watch.

"Oh, Jess " Adam looked at the watch and hugged her tightly. "Thank you "

"It's OK, Adam" Jessica replied as he kissed her again.


"I love you " He told her, latet that night when they were lying in bed.

"I know" Jessica replied.


Thanks for reading. As I wrote this, I watched Jessica's flashback's.
