“mommy made a big wrong.”
Summary: Reader may or may not have forgotten Jacks birthday.
You woke up with the biggest headache this morning, Grace had walked into the room and woken you up. The night before you had arrived from Australia and the jet lag was no joke, and being pregnant it made It a lot worse, you barely even know what day it was. You knew Jack needed the sleep so you took Grace and got out of the room.
You put on the TV on low volume for Grace to watch in the living room while you made the both of you breakfast. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich for Grace and a ham and cheese sandwich for you. You both cuddled up on the sofa with a blanket over you as you ate and watched TV.
What you didn’t know was that Jack had woken up when Grace got in the room, but pretended to be asleep. Today was the 13th of march and you had a tradition where the birthday kid gets to sleep in while the rest of the family comes in with a cake and sing happy birthday in bed. Jack didn’t want to ruin it by waking up, so he stayed in bed waiting for you and Grace to come. He had accidentally fallen back to sleep and woke up after an hour, but still no cake and no song. He waited another 20 minutes before looking at the date on his phone. It was indeed the 13th and he had received some birthday messages. He sighed and got up from bed, he heard the sound off the TV and saw you and Grace sitting on the sofa laughing at something that happened in the movie. He furrowed his eyebrows and rubbed his eyes while he walked up to you.
“Good morning daddy” Grace jumped up from the sofa and ran to her father. He picked her up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
“Good morning my angel” He walked up to the sofa and sat at the other side of it, barely acknowledging you sitting there. He usually gave you a good morning kiss.
“Good morning babe” you said happily “We’ve already had breakfast, but I can make you a sandwich if you want” you smiled at him.
“no it’s fine” he shook his head and quickly glancing at you before putting his focus on Grace. “Did you sleep good baby?” he asked her as she nodded before climbing of his lap to grab Carrot that had fallen down from the sofa.
“I woke up with the biggest headache this morning, jet lag is no fun” you chuckled and waited for Jack to respond. He just nodded and hummed before getting up from the couch,
He walked to the kitchen, turning on the water kettle. You wondered why he barley said any words to you, maybe he was just tired. You got up and walked up to him. He was making himself a sandwich as you stood behind him and put your arms around his waist, your small bump putting a little space between you.
“I told you I could’ve made you one” you mumbled against his back, planting a gently kiss on it. He was wearing his white tight T-shirt. He didn’t say anything, he just continued making his sandwich.
“I like that shirt on you, you look handsome” you let go of him and stood beside him to get a better look.
“I know” he smirked and walked away with his sandwich. You stood there for a few seconds wondering what could’ve gotten him in such a bad mood. It’s probably the jet lag and the lack of sleep, he’s had a lot going on these few days so you didn’t want to push it. While Jack and Grace sat in the living room just chilling, you started to unpack all of the bags and cleaning around the house.
Jack saw you walking with a big box to your room and immediately came after you “Can you stop?” he asked annoyed
“With what?” you asked him, confused at what he was talking about
“You have to be careful, You have my son in there” he grabbed the box from you arms. “You don’t have to clean now, just go sit down or whatever” he rolled his eyes as he went to put the box in the room.
“I’ll be in the studio” He said as soon as he came back, he bent down and gave Grace a kiss and then started to walk away.
“The studio? Now? You should be resting” you raised your eyebrows at him.
“Nah, I’d rather be down there” he answered and continued to walk away to his home studio. You just shrugged and sat down to play with Grace for a while.
After about half an hour you heard a few knocks on the door. You weren’t really expecting anyone so you wondered who it could be. You peeped out from the windows to see Maggie standing outside. You hurriedly walked to the front door with Grace in tow, excited to see her grandma.
“Hi Maggie, come in” you gave her a big hug as soon as you opened the door.
“Mama Maggie” Grace exclaimed and lifted her arms for her grandma to pick her up.
“Why haven’t you gotten dressed yet young lady” Maggie playfully scolded Grace as she was still in her pajamas and messy hair.
“Why? What’s up? you chuckled, confused as to why Grace had to get ready.
“I’m here to take Grace…” she looks around and whispers ”Didn’t you make birthday reservations?” You looked at her like she was crazy.
“isn’t it tomorrow…?” you carefully asked, afraid to hear the answer
“Oh no its today love” Maggie gave you a gentle smile, seeing the shocked expression on you face.
“Are you serious?” you whispered, receiving a nod, “That’s why he’s been in such a bad mood today” you exclaimed, finally getting why Jack was being so standoffish.
“Well you still have the reservations don’t you?” Maggie asked, trying to make you feel better.
“I do” you said, rubbing your bump “ugh he’s probably so annoyed with me right now” you sighed
“Was wrong mama?” Grace asked, seeing you stressed.
“Its dadas birthday today baby, and mommy forgot about it” you felt the guilt creeping up on you and you felt like the worst wife ever. You had planned this day for awhile, you talked to Maggie about taking care of Grace and you’ve had his present and everything.
“mommy made a big wrong.” Grace noted, but stretched out her arms for you to grab her. You did and she gave you a hug “Is okay mama, jus say sorry”.
Maggie got in and helped you with getting Grace ready, she changed her and fixed her hair as you got her overnight bag ready. Thankfully It didn’t take that long.
“And we’ll be expecting you tomorrow for lunch right? Me and Grace are going to bake him a cake” Maggie said as they both put on their shoes and jackets to go out. “Of course, thank you so so much Maggie” you hugged her tightly
“No need to thank me love, you know we love having Grace around” she smiled at you.
“Grace you wanna go say bye to daddy?” you asked her receiving eager nods. You grabbed her hand and walked with her to Jacks studio, carefully opening the door. He was sitting on his chair in front of a computer listening to different beats. He turned his head at the sound of your footsteps and quickly turned his head back around. You heard him sniffling “baby?” you carefully say
You leaned down and looked at him “are you crying?” you whispered, not wanting Grace to get worried.
“No, you know I have allergies” he clears his throat “what’s up?”
“Your mom came to pick Grace up, they’ve missed her” you gave him a gentle smile. His eyes looked so sad it made you feel even more guilty about forgetting what day it was. He just nodded and got to pick up Grace and give her a hug. You grabbed your phone and tried to make sure you had the reservation, which you did, while Grace and Jack had their moment.
“Have fun baby” he kissed her cheek, Grace hugged him tightly and whispered a tiny “happy birthday daddy” He looked at her surprised and felt his heart getting warm. His mom must’ve told her he thought and hugged Grace even tighter “I love you baby girl” he said. “I love you too daddy” she gave him a kiss and then he put her down, before returning back to his chair watching you both walk out to Maggie. He let out a loud sigh and ran his fingers through his hair.
As soon as Maggie and Grace left, you returned to the studio. You opened the door and walked in, not even earning a glance from Jack. You walked up to him and turned his chair around before sitting on his lap. He put his arms around you to support your body, and looked at you with raised eyebrows.
“Happy birthday” you gave him a small smile,
“Its about time” he mumbled, rolling his eyes at you
“I’m sorry, It totally slipped my mind that today was the 13th” you told him, bringing a hand up to hold his face, making him lock eyes with you.
“Baby you got to believe me,I don’t want to make excuses but with the jet lag and pregnancy brain I didn’t know what day it was today” you sighed, you felt him starting to rub your hip with the hand that was around you, finally showing you some affection.
“But it’s not, I’m sorry I didn’t mean for this to happen” you explained yet again
“You’re right its not, it did make me irritated. But I don’t blame you babe. Jet lag can be a pain in the ass” he chuckled and you felt relieved seeing his beautiful smile. He tucked a hair strand behind your ear and leaned in for a soft kiss. “I forgive you, don’t feel bad” he kissed you one more time.
“Get dressed we have a reservation” you pulled away and got up from his lap.
“How fast did you get that?” He laughed
“Babe, I just forgot today was the 13th. I’ve had this planned for a while now. That’s why your mom picked Grace up” you explained
“So you do love me?” he pretended to be touched, putting a hand to his heart and wiping fake tears away.
“of course I do silly” you stood on your tippy toes and gave him a kiss, before the both of you went and got ready for your night.
