"Happy birthday baby," Jackson spoke in my ear.

Wait, Jackson? I'm still in America for my dads tour.

"Jackson?" I spoke sleepily as I rolled over in my hotel bed. We're in Florida for a week since my dad and uncles thought we could go to the beach and take time off.

"I'm here love," he smiled at me. My eyes widened and I wrapped my arms around his neck, him hugging me tightly back.

"I missed you so much," he spoke into my hair.

"I miss you so much more," I spoke back.

"How are your nightmares my love?" He asked as we laid on the bed, facing one another.

My nightmares slowly got worse, so my dad made me start going to therapy. Wherever we stopped, I would go to a therapist for at least an hour.

"They've gotten a lot better actually," I smiled.

His hand went to the side of my face, his fingers going through my hair, "I'm so glad love."

"You must be exhausted J," I whispered, "and it's like 2 in the morning. How'd you get in here?"

"Your dad helped me, he said happy birthday by the way."

I smiled and rolled my eyes, "Two of my favorite boys."

"How sweet," Jackson smiled, "but I woke you up early. Get rested sweetheart. Later, I have to give you your presents, don't let me forget."

"Jackson, you didn't have to get me anything at all!" I whispered as he put his hand over my whole face.

"Just sleep. I can't hear you anymore," he mumbled as he fell asleep.

"Emma, wake up love. We've got to go," my dad spoke rubbing my back.

"Hm?" I moaned as I rolled over, not feeling Jackson by my side. Wait, I didn't dream he was here, did I?

"We're going to eat for your birthday breakfast, remember?" He spoke as I nodded, sitting up. I heard the shower on, he's probably in there.

We heard lightening and we looked out my window, it starting to pour down rain. Damn.

"I guess we're ordering in. That just ruined my plans," my dad mumbled.

"Awe daddy, thank you so much anyway," I spoke as I hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Anytime sweetheart. We'll just come by later and eat and we'll give you presents," he spoke.

"Alright, more sleep for me."

I saw him smile and he began tickling me. "Daddy! Stop it!" I screeched as I laughed.

"Happy Birthday my sweet Emma Grace, I love you so much," he spoke as he kissed my forehead once more and left.

Jackson got out of the shower and jumped back into the bed after he put on sweatpants, and of course his boxers underneath them. He shook his wet hair all over me though.

"Jackson Daniel!" I screeched once more.

He laughed and pulled me into him, kissing my nose, "You know what?"
