"Daddy?" Camden whispered in his father's face. He had gotten better at not yelling so much in the mornings; another lesson in "Daddies' Room Etiquette".

Nothing. Not even an eye flutter.

"Daddy?" He tried again,trying to contain his urge to scream.
"Luke, honey?" Noah chimed in, too. He didn't remember Luke being such a sound sleeper,even after last night.

Still nothing. Or so it seemed...

"Dadd-"

"RAWR!" Luke sprang to life and grabbed his son underneath the covers,while Noah just stood there chuckling at the inevitable screaming. He loved to watch his husband play with their son; the two men he loved most in his life. When the giggling was over, and much of the panting had subsided,Noah took that as his cue to greet his lover. "Happy birthday,Luke." Luke smiled as Noah leaned down and captured his lips in two quick kisses, which never failed to get yet another giggle from Camden. "HAPPY BIRFDAY!" Camden shouted, clinging his arms around both his dads. The quiet morning was long gone.

Shortly after, Noah brought in a tray. "Breakfast is served!" Luke looked at the contents of the bowl sitting in the middle of the tray. "Uhh...what is it?"
Noah simply replied,"Ask him." "I made you brefast, like when you and dad make me for my birfday." Luke smiled at their son's obvious speech development problem, while taking a closer look at the mixture of soggy cereal in front of him. He finally picked up the courage,not wanting to disappoint, to take a bite of the concoction, and was actually surprised. "Mmm! Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs, and Cheerios are my favorite, Cammy. Thank you." Noah was surprised to see Luke gobble down something only a pregnant woman would dare to eat, and promptly left the room. Luke and Camden laughed at this.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Noah and Camden watched Luke finally drive off to meet Lucinda for a day of shopping, then quickly got dressed. They had a lot to do before he got back, and everything had to be perfect (according to Camden). They left the apartment after cleaning up a bit, and headed to the bank.

Camden loved going to the bank with his fathers. Not only did he enjoy spending time alone with each of them,but also liked to watch the 'money tube' going to and from the building. And don't even get him started with the free lollipops. After that, they were off to the store to buy ingredients for a cake. Noah had never baked anything before, so it should be even more of an experience with Camden. It looked pretty easy when Emma did it, though.
Noah grabbed a basket and held Camden's hand as they roamed around the store looking for what they needed. "What kind of cake should we make daddy, buddy?" Noah asked, eyeing the endless possibilities on the shelf. The boy thought long and hard before pointing to the chocolate cake mix with a smile. "Great choice. What about icing?" "Fanilla...with rainbow sprinkles!" The boy's eyes were wide with excitement when his dad agreed to the outrageous cake idea, and he did a little dance throughout all the isles. After picking out a romantic enough card, they finally reached the checkout counter. While Noah was loading things onto the conveyor belt, Camden took it upon himself to flirt with the woman clerk, as only little boys can.

"And what's your name,sugar?" The woman in her late forties asked,while ringing up their items. "Camden Snyder." He wasn't shy when it came to older women, and that always made them laugh. "Well, Camden, my name is Caroline." He didn't waist any time sharing the big news of the day with his new lady friend. "Guess what? Today is my daddy's birfday." The woman immediately looked over at Noah with an even bigger smile. "Oh really?" Noah was kind of caught off guard, but managed to mention his husband. The woman nodded in understanding,but Camden still felt it necessary to let her know his daddies were "home-sesicles". Noah and Camden left the store, leaving the snickers and awes from the other women shoppers behind them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The two Snyder men arrived back home, ready to bake the best cake ever (of course not as good as Emma's,but they would try). Their hands were washed and they had everything laid out on the table. Noah helped Camden into a chair and rolled up his sleeves. "Alright. Lets get started. What do we do first, buddy?" Camden picked up the cake mix box,and stared down at the foreign language. "M-mm...mix?" "Right! Good job!" The words of praise from his dad encouraged him to keep going. "I know dis one! Eggs!" Noah couldn't believe how much his son had already learned, without starting school yet. 'I guess that's the benefits of having a writer in the family' he thought. He kissed Camden's forehead, then helped him read the rest of the directions, and soon the mix was ready to go in the oven. After cleaning up the dropped egg shells, spilled milk, and themselves, the two men settled into the living-room to play a card game. It was one more thing Camden enjoyed, when playing games with his dad, because he always won. Three rounds of 'Go Fish!' later, Noah fixed them some sandwiches for lunch. But Noah could tell he was getting bored after asking if the cake was done yet, for the fifth time. "Why don't you help me wrap daddy's present?" The little boy agreed with a wide smile.

Their system of "I fold" and "you pass the tape" seemed to be working until someone got a little too excited, resulting in one cut finger. "Camden, I told you to be careful when pulling the tape, cause the metal teeth could hurt you." Which was the wrong thing to say in a raised tone, with blood oozing all over the floor. "I-I'm s-sorwy,dad." Camden put his head down; tears streaming from his eyes. Noah realized his mistake and scooped his son into his arms. "I'm not mad, buddy. It's okay. Let me see it." Noah disinfected,bandaged, and kissed the wound, then decided it was best if he finished the job. "I think you should draw daddy a picture. Okay?" Camden nodded then headed off into his room after receiving another kiss from his dad.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Finally, the cake was ready to be iced and sprinkled, which was easier said than done. Sprinkles were everywhere, and the icing was too sweet to not keep dipping fingers in. They finally finished,until they got to the candles part. When Camden asked how old Luke was, Noah just said he would have to ask him later. Both men hadn't had a nap all day,so as soon as they hit play on a movie, they fell right asleep after finishing off the rest of the icing.

Luke came back home late in the evening, loaded down with shopping bags. He had also made the mistake of going over to the farm,so he had containers of food, as well as, more gifts. All he wanted to do was be with his little family, and just collapse in the bed. That was before he opened the door and found his little family curled up on the couch covered in icing. He couldn't help but stare at the sight,until the smell of chocolate wafted into his nose. Sure enough there was a freshly baked cake in the kitchen waiting for him,even though the bakers were knocked out.

"Hey. When did you get here?" Noah asked wrapping his arms around Luke's waist, and sort of startling him. "A few minutes ago. Did you guys make this for me?" Luke asked turning around and greeting his husband with a kiss that tasted like vanilla icing. "Yes. Bet you didn't think I could pull it off." Noah said kissing him back. "No, it's just I didn't think you would go through all the trouble. Thank you." Luke kissed Noah again, this time more deeply. He really hadn't seen him all day,so he couldn't get enough of him. Noah picked him up and set him on the counter,removing his jacket, then getting even closer while kissing his neck. As much as they tried to keep their moans of pleasure quiet, Camden started to stir anyway. "Daddy?" Noah put his head on Luke's shoulder to try and calm himself down, before letting him off the counter. Luke, reluctantly, went over to his son who lay on the couch and picked him up. "Hi, Cammy. Did you have fun today?" Camden melted into his father's embrace, still a little sleepy. "Uh huh. Look, we made you a cake." He started to wake up more, when Luke acted surprised to see the cake he and Noah almost 'did it' on. "It's wonderful. Thank you." Luke kissed his forehead.
After dinner, Camden wanted to sing 'Happy Birthday', so the three of them all sang until they got to the 'how old' part. The song was pretty much over once Camden inquired about how old his daddy really was. "Are you ten?" "No." "Sisteen?" "Really close." Noah glanced at Luke on that one; he ignored it. "Well if you're not a hunderd yers old, how old are you?" "I am...old enough to be your daddy." Luke laughed at his little joke,but Camden seemed unsatisfied till Noah mentioned cutting the cake. "Be careful, dad. You don't want to cut your finger." Camden showed Luke his 'Go Diego Go!' band-aid, to which Luke just stared at Noah, who was busy lighting just one candle. "Blow it out, daddy!" Luke did as he was instructed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Wow! That was delicious!" Luke said after his second slice. "Mmm. I just wish you wouldn't act so surprised." Luke hit him on the arm. "What did you think, buddy? Did we do a good job?" Camden was busy licking his plate clean, so he just nodded; the couple laughed.

After Camden showed Luke his picture, it was time for him to go to bed. Luke tucked him in and left the room,then joined Noah in their bedroom once the kitchen was spic-and-span. "That was quite the birthday surprise. Now I'll have to top that for your birthday." "Nooo, I wouldn't want you to go through all the trouble." Noah said mocking his partner, while hiding something behind his back. "What's that?" "Oh, this? Just something I picked up." He handed the badly wrapped gift to Luke. "What is it?" He asked looking at a stack of Cd's. "They're video scrapbooks. Me being the film freak,I thought it'd be better than having millions of photo albums." He explained climbing underneath the covers. "I love it! Thank you." Luke started to kiss Noah firmly on the lips. "I love you...so much...thank...you." Noah rolled on top of Luke and started kissing and licking his way down his bare chest. Luke squirmed and whined for more, as the wet heat moved on his skin. he brought Noah up for one long,sensual kiss. "According to the...uh...clock, it's still m-my birthday." Noah pulled himself away from his lover's neck,"Ohh...really?" "Yea...yea. You know what'd make this day even...uhhm, better?" Noah was making his way back down Luke's stomach with his tongue. "What?" "If we could...mmm...oh,finish what we started in th-the kitchen." Luke couldn't get enough of what Noah was doing to him, and needed to kiss and run his tongue through his mouth. Noah accepted his tongue,and sucked on it, almost killing Luke.

"Uungh...I was hoping it'd be my turn to...blow something out." Noah moved between Luke's legs; kissing his thighs.

"That's exactly what I wished for."

"Happy birthday, Luke."
