Who: Jamie, Kayley, and Oliver
What: Celebrating Kayley's Birthday!
Where: Their home up in Kirriemuir, Scotland!
When: Today!



Birthdays! Jamie always liked birthdays in their family, and today was going to be an especially fun one for Kayley. At least, he hoped so. They'd stayed up the late before- Jamie wanted to be sure to be able to wish her a happy birthday the second the clock chimed midnight, and now they were sleeping in. Ollie knew it was a special day- his da was staying home and they had already made Big Plans about his mum's birthday!

The sun was shining, peeking in through the curtains, and Jamie heard the pitter patter of tiny feet. The next thing he knew, the door was creaking open, and he easily untangled himself from Kayley as he rolled over, smiling as he saw Ollie. He motioned for Ollie to stay where he was for a moment, then reached over the edge of the bed for his kilt. Sitting up, he pulled it on under the covers and then slowly rolled out of bed, careful to not wake Kayley. He and Ollie were going to go make her breakfast.

Oliver was so excited! He loved the days when his da stayed home from work. Not that he didn't love his mum, of course, but it was always more fun with his mum and his da were around! He didn't blame his da for going into the store so much, though- Ollie had been there, too, and it was fun.

Ollie waited by the door when his da motioned for him to stop, watching him curiously as he moved. It looked like he was playing some sort of a game, underneath all the covers- but then his da had stood up, and Oliver noticeably brightened. He rushed forward- as quietly as he could manage, and grabbed up his da's hand, tugging him back toward the bedroom door.

Jamie smiled, letting Oliver pull him out of the room. They slowed to a stop just outside, and Jamie turned to pull it softly shut behind them.

"Good morning, mate," he said, crouching down to Ollie's level for a hug. He picked his son up, hugging him close and giving him a smacking kiss on the cheek. "Did ye sleep well?"

Oliver gave his da a smack kiss on the cheek in return, letting one of his arms drape across his da's shoulders. He was glad his da was strong enough to pick him up like this, because it made him feel tall! "Aye, da!" he nodded, then added, quieter, "Aye. Mum's not gonna sleep all the way through her birthday, is she?"

"No, we'll bring her breakfast in bed and hopefully she'll wake up, then! And her presents!" Jamie smiled brightly and started toward the kitchen. He had asked his mum for some help, so there were pastries and some yummy things. He could do tea, though, and with some magic he could fix up some sausage and eggs to go with the sweets. "We'll make sure she has tons of fun for her birthday today. I promise!"

"I hope she wakes up when we bring her breakfast," Oliver said, decisively. "It'd be weird to eat breakfast in bed if mum was still asleep there!" Once in the kitchen, he squirmed a bit in his da's arms so he could get a better look around. "Grandmum sent sweets, right, da?" he asked. "What else are we gonna make?"

"I'm sure she will," Jamie replied with a laugh. "We might have to give her lots of kisses to wake her up, though!" Reaching up, he ruffled Ollie's hair. "I was thinking of some eggs and sausage. With cheese! And tea, of course. What do you think?"

"I like giving mum kisses! And hugs, too," Oliver agreed. He considered their breakfast choices. "Eggs an' sausage an' cheese are good, da, but-" he scrunched up his nose, "do I hafta drink tea?"

"Sausage it is!" Jamie exclaimed, moving to go find two pans- one for the sausage and one for the eggs. Once he had them, he set Ollie carefully on the edge of the counter. "Be careful, mate, okay? Don't wiggle too much- we don't want you to fall down and hurt yourself!"

Oliver scooted back a bit more on the counter at his da's warning, nodding as solemnly as he could manage. "Aye, da. I dinna want to get hurt! It's mum's birthday."

"Even if it weren't your mum's birthday, we still wouldna want you hurt!" Jamie exclaimed, reaching over to ruffle Ollie's hair as he found his wand and murmured a quick charm to slice the sausage as he moved to the stove top to turn it on. "Do you know how to crack the eggs, Ollie?"

Oliver giggled when his da ruffled his hair. "Aye, da, I know how to do that!" He turned, carefully, on the counter so he could sit cross-legged. There was a bowl beside the egg carton, and Oliver pulled each of them closer to him before reaching for the first egg. "How many eggs should I crack, da?"

"Ummm...How many eggs do you think you'll eat? I'll eat two, I think. And maybe two for Mum, too?" Jamie tilted his head as he lit the stove and then moved the sausage onto it to start.

Oliver held up a finger for each egg Jamie mentioned, then added a fifth, for himself. "I'll just have one, da," he said, reaching for an egg and slowly tapping it on the side of the bowl he'd pulled in front of him. "I'm not as big as you an' mum are."

"That looks fantastic, Ollie!" Jamie exclaimed, dropping a pat of butter into the pan for the eggs. "Here, love, would you help me pour the eggs in?"

"Aye!" Oliver giggled as he watched the butter sizzle for a moment, and then helped his da lift the bowl of mixed up eggs carefully over the pan. They tipped it, and the sizzling quickly escalated as the eggs met the heat below. Oliver smiled, and took the bowl again- this time scooting back, and turning to place it in the sink behind him.

Jamie smiled as he watched Oliver scoot along the counter, then went in search of a wooden spoon. By that point, the egg was starting to cook at the bottom of the pan, and he began to stir it around, scrambling it all up. Touching his wand, he flipped the sausage and stopped the cheese from grating before moving the plate over to Ollie. "Do you want to sprinkle it in, love?"

Oliver smiled again, nodding. He moved closer to the stove- though still not too close, of course- and took the plate. He held the plate in his lap, and took small one small handfull at a time of cheese, sprinkling it over the eggs as his da stirred.

It wasn't long before all the cheese was in the eggs, and the eggs were completely cooked. Jamie checked the sausage- that was finished, too! Finding his wand, he summoned their plates and dished them out, then brought the pastry box over. "Which ones do you think we should give Mum?"

Oliver looked over the pastries, eagerly. "They all look really yummy, da," he said, considering. Finally, he pointed to one. "That's blueberry, right, da? We should give that one to mum. It'll turn her lips blue!"

Jamie blushed faintly, though he and Ollie both nodded. "Aye, Mum!" Oliver exclaimed. "I mixed the eggs and put in the cheese! And Da did the sausages and Grandmum sent us the pastries!"

She hadn't meant for Jamie to blush. Looking down, Kayley bit her lip, almost nervously, before taking a sip of her tea. Just because it was her birthday didn't mean she could be rude! "Well it all tastes wonderful," she added, looking up after another moment. "It's a perfect way to start- continue-" she corrected, with a quick glance to Jamie- "my birthday."

He hadn't thought it was rude. "I'm glad you like it," he said with a grin, reaching for his own tea and then taking a few bites of his food. "And I didn't mange to burn anything, either! Although that might have been because Ollie's such a good helper."

Kayley smiled, reaching a hand over to ruffle Oliver's hair. "Well, I'm certainly glad to hear that I still have a kitchen," she replied, "and that we won't have to starve."

Oliver giggled, scrunching up his nose as his mum ruffled his hair. "Even if we burned it, Da could fix it! He can fix anything! And we'd never starve, Mum!" He wrapped his fingers around his fork and scooped up some of his egg for a bite.

"Well, yes, he can," Kayley conceded the point with another smile to Jamie. She finished her eggs with another two bites, and took one more sip of tea. "Me and your da wouldn't let you starve, Ollie- kitchen or no kitchen," she added, just in case.
