“Happy birthday, happy birthday. Happy birthday Jessy!~” [Name] sang along with her small family and few friends.

The one-year old girl squealed in her feeding chair, eyeing the cake excitedly while jumping up and down and clapping her hands together.

The [h/c] woman took a knife and cut the cake in a small and neat piece, placing it on her daughter’s plate who ate eagerly with her tiny hands.

The guests had their own slice of mango cream cake and a scoop of ice cream after a few pictures. They were all talking excitedly and leaving gifts on a small table near the entrance. The children were cooing over little Jessy who had the same ice blue eyes her father has.

“[Nickname]!” Raven went over, hugging her best friend.

“Hey Raven..” The said woman said warily as she hugged back.

“You should sit down. You’re working too hard.”

“I just want Jessy to feel loved and have the best, you know? Ever since.. Ever since he left.”

She strained her voice to even say what had happened. A year ago, her husband (her ex-husband now) had left her due to the fact that he thought his wife was infertile.

“Yes, yes, yes I know. Come on [Nickname], you shouldn’t be feeling so down. He’s a jerk. And it’s your daughter’s first birthday.” The female mutant said derpily just to cheer [Name] up.

She just chuckled, shaking her head in amused smile.

“Okay. Now,” she set down her empty bowl of ice cream. “Help me with the games.”

“Now we’re talking!”

It was already late at night and [Name] was just tucking in her little girl, brushing away the few growing hairs on her head. She leaned down and placed a gentle kiss other forehead.

“Goodnight Jess…”

The [h/c] went down to clean up the mess. Streamers and confetti streamed the place. Banners hung off the wall and balloons were floating all over the room.
She sighed while walking a hand through her tussled hair, a hand on her hip.

She was nearly done cleaning up when the doorbell rang. Curious, confused and kinda annoyed, [Name] stuffed the streamers in the over-flowing trash bin and opened the door to see someone she didn’t expect to see.

Erik.

“[Name] I-”

The said woman just slammed the door in his face, locking it afterwards. She took a deep breath, composing herself as she blinked back tears that were fighting their way to her eyes.

Another doorbell followed by more was heard after. Growling, the [h/c] opened the door with such force it swung open so fast.

“What?” She snapped. “If you’re looking for Mrs. Lehnsherr, she isn’t here.”

“[Name] just let me talk-”

“Oh like you let me talk the last time.”

“[Name] just-”

“No Erik. I’m done with your shit.”

“[NAME]!” The German man snapped, his expression softening after. “I’m… I’m sorry. Alright? I’m stupid for leaving you and after learning that you were pregnant, I, I knew I would have to face you after what I did. What I did was very wrong and cruel, I know that. Charles and Raven remind me that every time they see me…”

Taking a deep breath, he brought out a gift which he hid behind his back.

“I hope this fits her…”

Erik handed [Name] the wrapped package which was soft so she assumed it was clothing.

“Good night… Tell Jessy I said happy birthday..” He said as he turned to leave.

Guilty and kind of proud with the fact that Erik came back to greet his daughter happy birthday on the day itself and knowing her name and apologizing made her ice cold shield for the said man melt a bit.

“She’s upstairs.” The [nationality] woman said before he could take another step.

“What?”

“Jessy. She’s upstairs, sleeping. Her room’s the first one to the left…”

She stepped aside to let the male mutant in, closing the door after.

The metal-bender went up the familiar steps, running his hand along the railing. He turned to the first door on his left, turning the doorknob and wincing slightly as it creaked a bit.

He peeked at his sleeping girl, a smile breaking his worried expression. He softly stepped over to her and sat at the edge of the bed, cupping her cheek. He gasped a bit as his daughter smiled just a little bit and leaned in to his touch.

[Name] was watching from the doorway whilst leaning on it, her arms crossed. She had a smile on her face while tears formed at the corners of her eyes.

Erik then stood up. Taking no more than three strides and pulling [Name] close to him, burying his face in her neck as he hugged her while tears spilled from his eyes.

The woman’s own tears followed after as they stood there in silent forgiveness and happiness.

“Ich Liebe dich, Erik.”

“Ich Liebe dich, [Name].” He turned to his daughter. “Und mein kleine, Jessy.”
