Before they found out y/n is pregnant, it was like trying to raise him from the dead if y/n wants Oscar's attention. But something about her being pregnant has made his sleep much easier to disturb.
So when he hears y/n get up he stirs but doesn't move figuring that she just needs the bathroom and he learned the hard way that she might be awake but that doesn't mean she wants fussed over or even conversation.
But when he hears her beginning to sniffle and hiccups as she pats around the kitchen. So he gets out of bed and moves through to the kitchen.
"Baby? What's wrong?" He asks trying to hide his tiredness since y/n always feels guilty for waking him up.
"I'm so hungry." Y/n sniffles making him frown a little.
"Ok, ok. You don't need to cry. We can make you something to eat. What do you want?" Oscar smiles making her seem to only cry harder.
"Steak-I want steak, but I'm not allowed to have it the temperature I want it." Y/n cries now just surrendering to her emotions. "And-And I know it's stupid to cry over it but I can't help it."
Oscar doesn't even care that she thinks her crying seems silly. His main concern is getting her steak. It's 2 in the morning and they don't have steak in the apartment. In fact they have everything else he could possibly have stocked up on and yet he didn't think of steak.
"Give me a second, I'm just gonna pull on some clothes and I'll find a store and get you some steak ok? I'm gonna fix this."
"Oscar, it's 2 in the morning you can't go out-"
"You want steak at 2 in the morning. I'm giving you steak at...maybe half past 2 in the morning." Oscar declares as he walks back into the bedroom.
Y/n is still shedding tears feeling completely stupid but the need for a steak is actually distressing and it genuinely takes an emotional toll on her.
"Alright, baby. I'll be as quick as I can...if there's anything you want to snack on just to...see if it subsides the hunger till I'm back." Oscar states kissing her quickly and managing to wipe her cheeks free of the tears as best he can.
Y/n nods mumbling an "I love you" before she watches him head out. Part of her wants to go with him but if it takes longer than expected it's better for her not to be there crying beside him.
Oscar does end up going to Carrefour Market and thanks the universe for having steak. Probably not the best quality but it will do and he's already gotta be creative in how to make it taste good with it needing to be well done.
Y/n is still sniffling her way around the apartment when he gets back but he's back and he's got the steak.
"Ok-are you cooking?"
"I wanted some potatoes too." Y/n mumbles earning a soft smile. "I'm going to be obese by the end of this pregnancy."
"That's not true. The midwife said you hadn't gained enough weight last time you were there, so this is good. I'll finish off the cooking, you just sit ok?"
Y/n settles down and sighs softly as she watches him and smiles sadly while she watches him.
"I'm sorry." Y/n mumbles as Oscar puts the steak in the pan.
"Don't be sorry. I'm never sorry when I'm hungry." Oscar dismisses but y/n is clearly exhausted and hungry which are two things that are going to trigger emotions.
Oscar finishes up the steak with some garlic butter and places it on a plate before adding the potato wedges and sliding it across to y/n with a knife and fork.
"Want anything to drink?"
"Ummm...I should probably just stick to water." Y/n sighs earning a small nod as he moves to get her the water and she actually starts eating like a woman who has been starved. "Oscar...this might be the best thing I've ever eaten."
"I feel like that could be the cravings talking but I'm going to take that as a win." Oscar smiles as he sits down and just watches her.
Y/n keeps eating till she's done having a fleeting thought of offering Oscar some but honestly Oscar is unlikely to be hungry and y/n really just didn't want to share it in all truth.
"That was so good."
"Satisfied the craving?"
"Yes. One million percent." Y/n confirms before leaning over and kissing him. "Sorry, that was gross. Garlic kiss."
"I love your kisses. Garlic or not."
"Gonna have to brush my teeth again...I didn't think this through." Y/n grimaces since toothpaste has proven to be a new hurdle but it has to be done especially if she's going to have full meals in the middle of the night.
"Clean up can wait till morning." Oscar states then scooping y/n up like she's nothing. "Teeth then back to bed."
And that's exactly what happens, he stands with her as she gags her way through brushing her teeth and to both their relief she doesn't throw up the meal. Then they head to bed and y/n seems to pass out, completely satisfied while Oscar makes sure she's got her pillows in all the right places to keep her sleeping on her side before he manages to hug her with his hand resting on the small bump and admittedly he can't stop the smile on his face.
Other guys might be frustrated or annoyed, but he knows he's got responsibility for her pregnancy and he's not enduring the physical changes that she is. The least he can do is help her through these moment and support her.
Especially since he's not always there with her. But he'll do anything to take care of her when he's there and try to find ways to take care of her when he's not there. Which now he knows she craves full meals in the middle of the night, that's a new concern he has to handle when he's not there to drive out and get the food.
That's something to find solutions to in the morning.
A/N: I wrote this for my best friend, she’s obsessed with Oscar and it was her birthday almost 2 months ago (oops). Translations can be found at the end of the fluff!
WORD COUNT: 7859
‘I’m so sorry, Y/N,’ Oscar muttered when he sat down in the living room. He just got back from an early morning shooting of his upcoming movie. The movie was wrapped, but two weeks ago he was called back for reshoots. ‘I tried to talk to the director, but she made it very clear that I need to come to set tomorrow.’
Y/N sighed, and she rubbed her forehead. She stood next to him, a cup of coffee in her hands. ‘Oscar, it’s okay. Really.’
He shook his head and he grabbed his wife’s hands. ‘No, it’s not. It’s your birthday tomorrow!’
She smiled softly. ‘Believe me, it’s okay. My boss called me this morning and he told me that there was a problem with the schedule. Turns out, I have to work on my birthday.’
Oscar raised his eyebrows. ‘What?’
Y/N sighed again, and she placed the mug on the table. ‘I know. I explained it, but he said that he couldn’t fix it.’
Oscar pulled her gently on his lap and he embraced her body. He held her hands and he drew circles on them with his thumbs.
‘You know that I don’t mind not celebrating my birthday,’ Y/N said, and she leaned her head against his.
‘I know,’ he whispered, and he pressed a kiss against her neck. ‘But Sofia does mind. We promised her that we would celebrate it, just the three of us.’
Y/N groaned, and she turned in her husband’s lap. ‘We did promise her that. I will ask Thea if she can babysit. Could you bring Sofia to Thea before you go to set? Unless you have an early morning shoot again, then I can -’
‘No te preocupes, mi amor,’ Oscar said, and he kissed her cheek. ‘I will take care of it.’
She gulped visibly. Even though they have been married for years, Y/N couldn’t get used to the fact that Oscar sometimes spoke Spanish to her. It made her feel things and Oscar knew the effect he had on her.
They sat in silence for a couple of minutes, just enjoying each other’s presence. Y/N ran a hand through Oscar’s hair, while he stroked her waist with his thumb. His hair was a little bit longer and his curls were visible. She loved running her hands through his fluffy hair.
After Y/N pressed a kiss against Oscar forehead, she glanced at the clock. It was almost three o’clock. ‘I have to pick up Sofia.’
‘I can pick her up,’ Oscar said.
‘You just came home from work,’ Y/N objected. ‘We will be back in fifteen minutes.’
He huffed. ‘One kiss before you go?’
Y/N smiled brightly, and she cupped his cheeks. He was hungry for her kiss and he placed his lips on hers. His hands grabbed her hips and he deepened the kiss. Y/N grinned, but she broke it off.
‘I have to go,’ she said, and she pushed herself off of him.
Oscar held eye contact while his left hand found her ass and he gave it a gentle squeeze. ‘Hurry.’
As promised, Y/N and Sofia came home fifteen minutes later. Once Y/N opened the front door, Sofia ran inside.
‘Daddy! Daddy!’
Oscar caught her when she sped into the kitchen. ‘Mi princesa.’
‘Buenos días, papi,’ Sofia said in perfect Spanish to her father.
It warmed Y/N’s heart, seeing the people she loved the most together. Oscar lifted his 4-year-old daughter up, so that she sat on his arm. Her arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, while he held her by her hip.
‘Did you behave while I was filming?’ he asked his daughter.
She nodded, which made her hair bounce up and down. Sofia had the same dark, curly hair as her father. Oscar smiled and pressed a kiss against her temple.
‘Daddy! That tickles!’ Sofia giggled.
Oscar had a full-grown beard for his movie and both Y/N and Sofia were teasing him with it, when he kissed them for example. He got a twinkle in his eyes and he playfully rubbed his cheek against hers, to tickle her even more.
Sofia shrieked and laughed, and she tried to push her father away. ‘Daddy! Stop!’
‘Oh, how I love you, sweetie,’ Oscar murmured, and he kissed her temple again.
‘Love you too, daddy,’ Sofia smiled, and she pinched his cheek. ‘Mommy said that you have to work tomorrow.’
‘Yeah,’ he confirmed. ‘Mommy and daddy both have to work tomorrow. But we are back for dinner.’
Sofia her face grew gloomy. ‘Oh. But what about mommy’s birthday cake?’
‘I will pick one up after filming,’ Oscar promised his daughter.
‘Okay, daddy,’ she smiled, and she caught her mother eye. ‘Mommy! Mommy! Daddy will get you a cake!’
Y/N smiled, walked towards her loved ones and she pretended that she didn’t hear their conversation. ‘He will?’
Oscar grinned and Sofia nodded. ‘Only the best for mommy.’
Y/N stroked her daughter’s hair. ‘We will celebrate my birthday after dinner. Don’t worry.’
‘No te preocupes,’ Sofia repeated her mother in Spanish.
Oscar smirked proudly and he nudged Y/N’s arm with his elbow. ‘It won’t be long until she speaks Spanish better than you.’
Y/N rolled her eyes, but she grinned. ‘Oh shush!’
‘Daddy, watch Tangled with me, please?’ Sofia asked and she pouted.
‘Oh, princesa, I would love to, but I need to do some grocery shopping,’ Oscar replied, and he pouted too. Then he smiled and whispered to her: ‘Maybe mommy wants to watch it with you?’
‘Yes!’ Sofia exclaimed and she turned to her mother. ‘Mommy, can we watch Tangled?’
‘Of course, baby,’ Y/N said. ‘Turn on the TV and I’ll be there in a second.’
Oscar released her and Sofia ran to the living room to turn on the TV. Y/N smiled, and she reached out to Oscar. He pulled her into his side, and he kissed the top of her head. Y/N hugged his side and she placed her head on his chest.
‘Thank you,’ he whispered.
Y/N looked up to him and frowned. ‘What for?’
‘Giving me this family,’ he said. ‘I’m so happy with you and you gave me our little princess, the best thing I could ever ask for.’
‘Stop, you make me cry,’ Y/N replied, and her lip trembled. ‘I love you.’
‘I love you too, mi amor,’ Oscar smirked, and he bowed down to kiss her lovingly.
‘Mommy!’
Oscar laughed and let go off his wife. ‘Go. I’ll be back in half an hour.’
‘Why do you need to go to the store anyway?’ Y/N asked curious. ‘I thought we had all the ingredients for tonight’s dinner?’
‘We do,’ he smirked again, and he raised one eyebrow daringly. ‘It’s a surprise for tomorrow. Let me be romantic, please.’
Y/N chuckled, and she rolled her eyes. ‘Fine.’
‘MOMMY!’
‘Coming, baby,’ Y/N yelled back, and she pecked her husband’s lips.
Later that night, Y/N and Oscar abruptly woke up by a soft voice. Sofia stood next to their bed around eleven, claiming that there was a monster under her bed. She had tears in her eyes, and she held her stuffed bunny Mr. Hopps tightly in her hands. Oscar immediately jumped out of bed and comforted her. He had picked her up and placed her between the two of them. Y/N wiped her tears away, while Oscar talked to her soothingly. The three of them cuddled together, Sofia laying against Oscar’s chest and she held her mother’s hands. One of Oscar’s arms embraced Y/N and together they spoke softly to Sofia. After 15 minutes, their little girl was calmed down.
Oscar had picked her up again and he brought her to her room, assuring Y/N that she could stay in bed. ‘I’ll be right back, corazón.’
Y/N stayed behind and waited for her husband to return. She closed her eyes and placed her head back on the pillow. Her eyelids felt heavy and she almost fell asleep again, until she felt the bed dip in.
‘She okay?’ Y/N asked tiredly.
Oscar hummed and he moved closer to his wife. ‘Stayed with her until she fell asleep again. Told her that nothing could happen to her and that we are here to protect her. Even told her a little secret.’
Y/N laughed softly. ‘A secret, huh? Care to elaborate?’
‘Nope,’ he said, and he popped the “p”. ‘It’s a father-daughter thing.’
She chuckled and caressed his cheek. In response, he rubbed his eyes and he yawned. That wasn’t a big surprise, since he was up really early today.
‘Come here,’ Y/N told him, and she motioned to herself.
Oscar smiled and he placed his head on her soft breasts. He also wrapped his arms around her, and he cuddled against her. It warmed Y/N’s heart and she let her cheek rest against his head. One hand combed through his soft curls and the other grabbed his hip.
‘Sleep, honey,’ Y/N whispered, and she kissed his hair. She massaged his scalp with her nails. ‘You have had a long day.’
‘Want to enjoy you a little longer,’ he mumbled, and he hugged her even more tightly. ‘Te amo.’
‘Te amo también,’ Y/N whispered.
Surely, Y/N picked up some Spanish words and she asked Oscar to teach her Spanish. Nothing was more beautiful than when Oscar smiled when the love of his life spoke Spanish to him.
‘Could you spoon me tonight?’ he asked sleepily, and he pressed a kiss against her neck.
‘Of course, handsome,’ she smiled, and she kissed his forehead.
The next day, Y/N woke up early. Oscar and Sofia were still sleeping, and Y/N didn’t want to wake them, so she did her morning routine quietly. When she was in the bathroom applying her make-up, she caught sight of Oscar’s jewelry stand with all his necklaces. One silver necklace with two charms stood out in particular. Her fingertips brushed against the charms and she smiled softly. On Oscar’s first Father's Day, Y/N had given him that necklace with only one charm attached to it. It was a simple plain silver charm, but there was a “S” engraved on it. He had been quiet for a couple of seconds, before he teared up and pulled Y/N in a bone breaking hug. He had whispered thank you’s and I love you’s, while Y/N hugged and rubbed his back. On their anniversary, he proudly showed her a new charm with her initial engraved on it. He had said: ‘Now I can carry both my girls with me every day.’ Y/N was the one crying that time. Over the years, Oscar had worn it almost every day. Of course, he had switched between necklaces for the change, but the simple silver necklace with two charms was his favorite.
As soon as Y/N was ready, she went to work. She arrived at her work at 08:00 and she started her day as she would normally do. Her colleagues dropped by one by one and they wished her a happy birthday. During her coffee break she sat down with her colleague Emma. She was the only colleague that Y/N friends with. It helped that they were the same age and had a young family.
‘I can’t believe it,’ Emma said to Y/N and she gave her a cup of coffee. ‘He knew it was your birthday and he made you come to work.’
Y/N shrugged, and she took a sip of her coffee. ‘It’s okay. Really. Oscar had to go to work as well.’
‘Yeah, but still!’ Emma complained. ‘Lucas should have found someone else to work today.’
‘Emma, believe me, it’s fine,’ Y/N smiled softly. ‘We weren’t going to throw a big party. It would have been Oscar, Sofia and me.’
Her colleague scoffed. ‘I bet Sofia was bummed.’
Y/N nodded, and she ran a hand through her hair. ‘Yes, she was. My best friend is babysitting her today. Oscar and I will make it up to her during dinner.’
Not a second later, Y/N got a text notification. She unlocked her phone and she saw that it was a text from her husband.
Happy birthday, mi amor. I wish we could spend this day together with the three of us, but I will see you after work. I just dropped Sofia off at Thea’s place and I’ll pick her up after work. Love you xo
There was a photo attached to the text message. She opened it and she saw that it was a selfie of Oscar, Sofia and Thea. Thea is Y/N’s best friend since they were teenagers and they have always been there for each other. The brunette held Sofia in her arms and Oscar blew a kiss to the camera.
Y/N smiled. Her eyes brimmed with tears, but she quickly blinked them away. She wrote back a quick, but sweet reply, saying that she couldn’t wait to see him later. ‘It’s, um, Oscar. Wishing me a happy birthday.’
‘You’re one lucky woman,’ Emma told her, and she took a final sip of her coffee. ‘Mark forgot our anniversary last year.’
‘Oh, come on,’ Y/N laughed. ‘I’m positive that you forgot an anniversary too. And you have three wonderful children together.’
Emma sighed, but smiled. ‘Yeah, okay, you’re right. Did I tell you that he wants to have a fourth?’
Y/N grinned and shook her head. ‘I have to give it to him, he’s ambitious.’
Her colleague smiled as well and glanced at her watch. ‘Shoot. I have an appointment. Talk to you later!’
Emma hurried away and Y/N finished her coffee. She got back to work, and she worked through all the things that she had to do today. Right before her lunch break, she heard a knock on her door.
‘Excuse me, I’m looking for Y/N,’ a delivery man said.
‘That’s me,’ Y/N answered.
He stepped towards her and handed her a bouquet with daisies. Inside the bouquet was a little card and Y/N immediately recognized Oscar’s handwriting. It was simple, it just said “Happy birthday to the most amazing wife”. She smiled softly and placed the flowers on her desk. She couldn’t wait to see him later today. Luckily, time went by rapidly and at two o’clock, her boss Lucas walked up to her.
‘Hey, um, Y/N,’ he said, and he scratched the back of his head. ‘Happy birthday.’
‘Thank you, Lucas,’ Y/N said formal.
‘How far are you with you work?’ he continued.
‘All the urgent stuff is done,’ she told him, and she crossed her arms in front of her chest. ‘I still have to do some other assignments.’
‘Yeah, about that,’ Lucas mumbled. ‘I was unreasonable yesterday. I could have easily fixed someone for today, but I was in a shitty mood. You are free to go, if you want. Spend your birthday with your family and all that.’
Y/N blinked her eyes a couple of times. ‘Are you sure?’
‘Yes, please,’ her boss reassured her. ‘Enjoy your day, Y/N.’
‘Thank you, Lucas,’ she smiled, and she collected all her stuff.
Lucas nodded and he left again. Y/N grabbed her phone and she wanted to text Oscar that she was coming home and that she could pick up Sofia, but then she got an idea. She could go home and prepare a nice and fancy dinner for the three of them. Yes, she could do that.
Y/N came home 20 minutes later. She frowned when she saw Oscar’s car in the driveway, but she shrugged it off. Maybe a colleague picked him up. Y/N stepped out of her car, walked towards the front door and unlocked it. As she stepped into the entrance hall, she took off her coat and she hung it on the coat rack. Then, she kicked off her shoes and slipped into her comfy slippers. She opened the door that led to the living room, but she stopped walking any further when she heard voices coming from the kitchen. No, that couldn’t be... was that Oscar? And Sofia? She tiptoed to the doorway and she peeked around the corner. The sight in front of Y/N was heartwarming and she melted.
Firstly, her eyes caught sight of the living room. The living room was decorated with garlands and balloons. Then, she spotted Oscar and Sofia. They were in the kitchen and they worked at the kitchen island. Both were slightly covered in flour, while Sofia stood on a chair, so that she could reach all the stuff on the kitchen counter and Oscar stood behind her. He held her by her hips and he gave her instructions. They were working on a cake together and by the looks of it, they were busy with decorating the cake.
‘Okay, smile for me, princesa,’ Oscar said, and he pointed the camera of his phone at her.
Sofia turned around and she smiled at him. ‘Is it finished?’
‘Not yet, baby,’ he told her, and he put his phone away. ‘We have to write mamá her name and we have to put the pearls on the cake. You can do that, and I will do the writing.’
Sofia grabbed a handful of the edible pearls and Oscar told her where to press them into the cake. At the same time, Oscar wrote Y/N her name on the cake.
‘It’s so pretty, daddy,’ Sofia said, and she smiled at her father. ‘Do you think mamá will like it?’
‘I bet she would love it,’ Y/N said, and she stepped into their view.
Oscar and Sofia turned around and they were surprised.
‘Oh-oh,’ Sofia mumbled, and she hid behind Oscar.
‘Mi amor, you’re home early,’ Oscar smiled.
‘Lucas felt guilty and he told me that I should go home,’ Y/N said. She held the bouquet of daisies in her hand and she walked towards the kitchen counter. Y/N put down the flowers and she took a vase from the cabinet under the sink. Her husband and daughter stayed quiet while she filled the vase with water, undid the bouquet from the plastic and cut the flower-stalks shorter. ‘Thank you for the daisies, Oscar.’ Then she turned around and she looked at her family with a curious glance. ‘But what is all this? You’re not at work and Sofia is not at Thea’s.’
‘I’m free today and tomorrow, I wanted to surprise you,’ Oscar admitted. ‘But then you said that you had to go to work. So I spend the day with Sofia. Feliz cumpleaños, mi amor.’
Y/N smiled softly, and she felt the tears in her eyes. She placed the daisies one by one in the vase. ‘Gracias, hermoso.’
He stepped towards her, cupped her cheeks and kissed her passionate. She wrapped her arms around his middle and she hugged him tightly.
‘I love you,’ he said after the kiss.
Y/N’s eyes were still closed, and she nodded. ‘I love you too.’
‘Happy birthday, mommy!’ Sofia exclaimed.
Y/N pulled away from her husband and she looked at her baby girl. ‘Thank you, sweetie.’
‘Daddy and I made you a cake, look!’ she said enthusiastically.
Oscar gave his wife a gently push and they both stepped closer to their girl. Sofia revealed their cake full pride. It was a layered cake, Poe Dameron inspired. The cake was covered in buttercream, the edible pearls, yellow decoration on top, a few candles, a BB-8, a X-Wing and a Resistance figure and her name was written in black.
‘Oh...’ Y/N whispered. She became emotional again and she hugged Sofia. ‘This is the most beautiful cake I have ever seen. Thank you so much. The both of you.’
‘Daddy said that Poe is your favorite character,’ Sofia told her mother. ‘Just like me!’
‘He is,’ Y/N admitted, and she kissed Oscar’s cheek.
‘Why are you crying, mommy?’ Sofia said and she pouted.
‘These are happy tears, sweetie,’ Y/N reassured her, and Oscar rubbed his wife’s arm to soothe her. ‘I’m just so happy that you both did this for me. I really appreciate it.’
‘You’re welcome, mommy!’ Sofia smiled. ‘We love you.’
‘I love you too, baby,’ she whispered, and she kissed Sofia on the top of her head.
‘Princesa, is it time for the presents or do you want to do the other thing first?’ Oscar asked his daughter.
She shrieked and clapped in her hands. ‘The other thing first, daddy!’
He laughed and nodded. ‘Corazón, take a seat, I’ll be right back.’
Y/N sat down in the dining room, taking the cake with her. Sofia crawled on her mother’s lap, while they waited for Oscar. First, he brought in a big shopping bag and he put it on the table. Then, he walked always and returned with his guitar in his hand. Oh no, Y/N knew that she would get emotional again if he would play something.
‘So, Sofia and I practiced something for you,’ Oscar said. ‘Are you ready, Sofia?’
‘Yes, daddy,’ she answered, and she glanced at her mother.
Oscar played the first notes on his guitar and Y/N immediately recognized it as “happy birthday”. She was surprised when both Oscar and Sofia began singing.
‘Feliz cumpleaños a ti
feliz cumpleaños a ti
feliz cumpleaños querida Y/N
feliz cumpleaños a ti’
For the umpteenth time that day, tears were falling from Y/N’s eyes. ‘That was so beautiful. Thank you.’ She kissed the top of Sofia’s head and she glanced lovingly at Oscar.
‘Now it’s time for the presents!’ Sofia yelled. ‘Daddy, can I give mine first?’
‘Sure, baby,’ Oscar said. He put his guitar away, kissed Y/N’s temple and grabbed Sofia’s present from the bag. ‘But first we have to light the candles on mommy’s cake.’
‘And she has to make a wish!’ Sofia remembered.
Y/N combed her daughter’s hair. ‘That’s right.’
Oscar put on the candles and after waiting for a few seconds, Y/N blew them out. Sofia asked what her wish was in which Y/N responded that she couldn’t say, otherwise it wouldn’t come true. Oscar cut the cake and he gave them all a plate. Next, Sofia was ready to give her present. But first she scrambled onto her own chair. Oscar stood behind Y/N, his hands were on top of her shoulders and he gently squeezed them. Then, Sofia handed the present to her mother. Y/N was given a big envelope and she carefully opened it. Sofia had made her a drawing. She could see three stick figures in front of a house, there was a tree and the sun and the whole drawing was covered in glitters.
‘Thank you so much, Sofia,’ Y/N said sincerely. ‘This is so sweet and beautiful. Thank you.’
‘You’re welcome, mommy,’ she smiled. ‘Happy birthday. Now daddy’s present!’
Both Y/N and Oscar chuckled. He grabbed the bag and he walked towards his wife.
She watched Oscar and she grinned. ‘Yes, daddy. It’s time for your present.’
Oscar stopped in his tracks and he glared at Y/N. He raised his eyebrows and he looked at her challenging. Y/N gulped visibly, knowing that she would be in trouble later tonight. That made him grin and he gave his gift to Y/N. He seated himself on the edge of the dining table, so that he had the best view of his wife. Before she took the gift and inspected it a bit, Y/N smiled softly at her husband. The present was square, large, but not that heavy. It was neatly wrapped, and she carefully tore the paper off the gift. Immediately, she noticed that it was a painting. When she turned it over, she gasped.
It was indeed a painting. The painting looked exactly like the background of Y/N her phone, she loved that photo. Thea had taken it a while ago. She had captured a sweet moment of the little family while they were having a picknick. Y/N was laughing in that photo and Oscar looked at her with the most adoring smile on his face. Sofia sat on Oscar’s lap and she showed the camera the flowers she had picked. Y/N softly caressed the side of the painting with her thumb. It was so beautiful, and I looked so real, almost like a real photograph.
‘Oscar...’ she whispered. ‘I-I don’t know what to say. Thank you. This is beautiful. It’s gorgeous.’
He smiled softly. ‘Of course, mi amor.’
‘What is it, mommy?’ Sofia asked curiously.
‘Daddy gave me a painting,’ Y/N said, and she turned the painting so that Sofia could see it. ‘It’s the same photo as my phone background. This is actually my favorite photo of the three of us.’
‘It’s pretty, daddy!’ Sofia cooed, after she analyzed it thoroughly. ‘Did you paint it?’
Oscar laughed. ‘Oh no, sweetie. A friend of mine did. He is a painter.’
Y/N kept looking at the painting and she felt tears welling up. Oscar was so thoughtful, and he really knew her better than she knew herself. Slowly, she stood up and she placed herself between Oscar’s legs. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and she hugged him tightly. Oscar chuckled warmly and he placed his arms around Y/N’s waist.
‘Thank you so much,’ she whispered. ‘You’re the best. I’m so lucky to have you.’
He kissed the top of her head. ‘I am so lucky to have you. I love you, sweetheart.’
Y/N turned her head to look at Sofia and she saw that she was happily eating her cake. So, when she turned back to Oscar, she grabbed his face and kissed him passionately. Her husband made an “oomph” sound, but he quickly recollected himself and he kissed her back. During the kiss, Y/N felt him smiling. That made her smile and she played with the soft curls in his neck. They had to contain themselves, because Sofia was in the same room as them.
‘Mommy?’ they heard her ask.
Oscar released his wife and he watched his daughter with a look full of adoration. Sofia had almost finished her cake and her mouth and cheeks were covered in crumbs and icing. He quickly stood up and he grabbed a rag from the counter. He gently wiped her face clean and he kissed the top of her head.
‘Yes, sweetie?’ Y/N asked, and she sat down again.
‘Daddy and I made a movie for you too,’ she smiled, and she looked at her father.
‘Oh, princesa, it is not done yet,’ Oscar interrupted her quickly. ‘I didn’t have the time to edit it, so it’s not a movie.’
‘Oh,’ Sofia mumbled, and she looked sad.
‘We can watch it,’ Y/N said, and she shrugged her shoulders. She eyed Oscar and she motioned to the TV in the living room. ‘Just connect your phone to the TV and we can watch the videos one by one.’
‘Yes!’ Sofia exclaimed and she clapped in her hands. ‘Please, daddy?’
Oscar was unsure and he looked at his wife. ‘Are you sure?’
‘Yes!’ she smiled, and she pushed him softly towards the living room. ‘Let’s go.’
He chuckled. ‘Okay, okay.’
Oscar walked towards the living room, while Y/N picked up Sofia. She followed her husband into the living room, and she sat down on the couch facing the TV, Sofia on her lap. As soon as Oscar was ready, he sat down next to his wife and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Immediately, Y/N moved into his embrace. Sofia lay against her mother’s chest and she placed her legs on her father’s lap. Oscar pressed “play” and the first video started.
‘Hola, mi amor,’ Oscar said while he was walking down the street. He was wearing a cap and sunglasses and he looked into the camera whilst walking. ‘It’s a month until your birthday and I’m already busy with the preparations. I just went to a friend of mine and he will make a painting of the photo of the three of us that you like so much. Now I’m on my way to the florist, because I made you a promise when we got together. Every year on your birthday, I will buy you a bouquet of daisies.’
That’s where the video got cut off and Oscar clicked on the next fragment.
‘Mi amor,’ Oscar said. He was in their garage and he stepped into his car. ‘It’s one day before your birthday and you told me that you have to work tomorrow. While you were picking up Sofia, I called the florist and guess what? Your bouquet will be delivered at work.’ He placed his phone in a phone holder and he started the car. Oscar kept talking, but his eyes stayed focus on his surroundings. ‘I have a feeling that you’re a little bit suspicious, because I told you that I’m on my way to the supermarket. Yeah, I have to admit, that was a lie. I actually have to pick up the painting.’
There was a brief pause, before Oscar appeared on the screen again.
‘My friend Ray just showed me the painting and corazón, you’re gonna love it,’ he spoke with enthusiasm. He turned around his camera, so that Ray could be seen with the painting.
‘I’m glad you like it,’ Ray said, and he smiled brightly.
‘I love it,’ Oscar emphasized.
The video got cut off again and Oscar showed them the next one.
‘Buenos días, mi amor,’ Oscar said, and he walked out of their bedroom. ‘Feliz cumpleaños, it’s your birthday. Um, surprise? I don’t have to go to work, that was an excuse because I wanted to surprise you. Unfortunately, you had to go to work today. But that’s okay. Now, Sofia and I can decorate the living room and make you a cake!’
‘Daddy?’
‘Ah, right on time,’ Oscar smiled, and he walked into Sofia her room. ‘Good morning, princesa.’
‘Buenos días, papi,’ a sleepy Sofia greeted him, and she sat up. ‘Are you making the video for mamá?’
‘Yes, I am,’ he said, and he opened the curtains and window in her room. After that, he sat down next to her on her bed. They both smiled into the camera. ‘Remember the little secret that I told Sofia yesterday? Well, the secret was that I’m free today. Your little girl was into this conspiracy.’
‘Happy birthday, mommy!’ Sofia said with a smile. ‘Daddy and I are gonna surprise you tonight!’
‘Yes, we are,’ Oscar smiled, and he kissed Sofia’s cheek. ‘Let’s get you dressed.’
‘Can I wear the pretty dress that mamá bought me?’ she asked her dad with puppy eyes and she raised her arms in the air, a sign for Oscar to pick her up.
He smiled and he helped her out of her bed. ‘Of course, you can. It’s the purple one, right?’
‘Pastel purple,’ Sofia corrected him, and she placed her hands on her hips.
Her father chuckled, she looked so much like her mother right now. ‘Oh, I’m sorry. Pastel purple.’
Sofia laughed, while Oscar opened her closet and took her purple dress.
There was a short break again and before Oscar hit the next video, he turned his head to look at Y/N. She was hugging Sofia tightly and her head rested on his shoulder.
‘Do you like it so far, mi amor?’ he asked her softly.
Y/N nodded. ‘I do. Was it your plan to make me cry all day?’
Oscar snickered and he kissed her lovingly. Y/N sighed, and she relaxed in the kiss.
‘Daddy, can we continue?’ Sofia said and she threw her head back, so that she could face her father. ‘Ew.’
They released each other and laughed as Y/N hid her blushing face in Oscar’s neck. He gently stroked his wife’s arm and with his other hand he smoothened his daughter’s hair.
‘Sure, princesa,’ Oscar said with a smile and he pressed the next video.
The scene changed and Oscar and Sofia were in the car.
‘Tell mamá where we are going to,’ Oscar told Sofia.
From the backseat, Sofia looked into the camera. ‘Hi, mommy! We are almost at auntie Thea’s!’
Oscar nodded. ‘Yeah, because I promised you that I would drop Sofia off at her place. We have to give you some sort of evidence... I think a picture will do.’
They kept talking to each other the rest of the drive, well, it was mostly Sofia who was talking. She shared all her ideas for her mother’s birthday and Oscar hummed and smiled because of her enthusiasm. After a minute or two, they arrived at Thea’s house. The brunette stood already outside and she waved at the little girl. Sofia waved back as Oscar parked the car at the side of the road.
‘Hey, Thea,’ Oscar greeted her when he stepped out of the car.
He grabbed his phone and the walked around the car to help his daughter out of her car seat. When her feet touched the ground, she ran to her aunt.
‘Auntie Thea!’ she yelled, and she hugged the woman’s legs.
‘Hi, sweetie,’ Thea greeted her, and she ruffled Sofia’s hair. ‘Hey, Oscar. Are you making a video for Y/N?’
Oscar smiled and he walked towards her. He kissed her twice on her cheeks as a greeting. ‘Yeah, she’s gonna love it.’ He placed Sofia in front of him and he held her by her shoulders. ‘Thank you for being part of our secret and for not saying anything to Y/N.’
‘Of course,’ Thea said, and she shrugged. ‘You know I’d anything for you guys.’
‘I really appreciate it, though,’ Oscar said, and he gave her another kiss on her cheek. ‘I know that best friends are supposed to tell each other everything.’
Thea laughed. ‘Except when the husband is about to surprise his wife in the most adorable way. Why don’t you come inside? You can catch up with Joe and me and Sofia and Ben can play together.’
‘Um,’ Oscar mumbled, he really wanted to talk with his friends, since he was so busy with filming lately. He lifted his phone to check the time and then he saw that he was still recording, he completely forgot about it. ‘Yeah, we can stay for one cup of coffee. After that we have to go to the supermarket for some groceries. Right, Sofia?’
‘Yes, we are baking a cake for mommy!’ Sofia said with a big smile.
‘Is that so?’ Thea asked. ‘Your mommy is very lucky with you guys.’
Sofia smiled even brighter and she nodded.
Oscar also smiled. ‘And we are very lucky with her. Hey, can we take a selfie as proof that I dropped Sofia off?’
Thea chuckled. ‘Sure.’
‘Thanks,’ he said. ‘Let me wrap up this video really quick.’ Oscar looked directly into the camera and he smiled. ‘Hola, mi amor. As you can see, we are at Thea’s. We will make a selfie for you and then we go inside for a cup of coffee.’
He switched the camera and Thea and Sofia waved at it.
‘Happy birthday, Y/N!’ Thea smiled and she picked up Sofia. ‘Oscar dropped her off as promised. I’m gonna steal them both for a couple of minutes. Joe and I have some catching up to do, but you will see them again tonight.’
‘Hi mommy!’ Sofia said and she waved towards the camera. Then she turned to Thea and she blushed a little bit. ‘Is Ben home?’
Oscar raised his eyebrows, but Thea grinned and nodded. ‘Yeah, he is inside with his dad.’
‘Can I play with him?’ she asked, and she turned even redder.
‘W-what?’ Oscar asked surprised. Sure, he knew that Sofia liked Ben and he knew that they got along really well, but why was she blushing?
‘Of course, sweetie,’ Thea approved. ‘You can play with Ben. Ready for the photo? Oscar?’
‘Yeah, yeah, sure,’ Oscar mumbled, and he stopped recording.
Y/N chuckled, and she hid her smile behind her hand. Oscar was such a protective dad. She and Thea already talked about their kids having a tiny crush on each other.
‘This is not funny, Y/N,’ Oscar whispered. ‘She likes him.’
‘Oh, please,’ Y/N laughed. ‘So what if she likes him? They are four years old.’
‘She’s my baby girl!’ Oscar told her and now he started to blush. ‘I should be the only man in her life! Now I have to talk to Joe about Ben, and I don’t want that. Thea and Joe are our best friends.’
Y/N shook her head and she kissed his cheek. ‘You don’t have to talk to him. And you are the only man in her life. You are the one she looks up to and the one she turns to when she has a problem. You are her everything.’
He pursed his lips together and nodded. ‘You’re right. Let's continue.’
She saw that he had tears in his eyes, and he smiled lovingly. Y/N ruffled Sofia’s hair, before she cuddled more into Oscar’s body.
‘The next couple of videos are more little snapshots of what we did today,’ Oscar explained, and he clicked on the next video.
The first one was Oscar and Sofia in a supermarket. They were shopping the ingredients for Y/N’s birthday cake. Sofia sat in the little seat in the shopping cart and she told her father which flavors and colors her mother liked best. At one point, Sofia had Oscar’s phone in her hands, and she pushed the camera in his face. He laughed genuinely and told that she had to keep distance, otherwise Y/N couldn’t see anything but his face.
‘But mamá always says she likes your pretty face,’ Sofia told him.
Oscar blushed and he shook his head.
The next video was the two of them at home. Oscar filmed his daughter, while she told him where they should put all the decorations. He smiled, she was already a little boss, just like her mother. Sofia pointed around the living room where Oscar should hang the garlands and where the balloons were supposed to be.
The last video was them baking and decorating the cake. This was such an adorable video. Oscar let Sofia help him with almost everything. He told her how to knead the dough and he showed her how to make the figures for the cake. He let her taste the icing and when they were almost finished, he smeared some icing on her cheek. She yelped and threw flour in his face. They laughed so hard, it made Y/N tear up a little bit. It was such a loving sight, which followed by a small “food fight” between father and daughter. Oscar and Sofia were both covered in flour and icing, but they were crying of laughter. After a couple of minutes, when they were done with laughing, Oscar cleaned them both and they decided to finish decorating the cake.
‘Okay, smile for me, princesa,’ Oscar said, and he pointed the camera of his phone at her.
Sofia turned around and she smiled at him. ‘Is it finished?’
‘Not yet, baby,’ he told her, and then the video stopped.
‘Well, that was everything,’ Oscar said, and he watched his wife. Nervously, he scratched the back of his head.
Y/N smiled softly, a tear escaped from the corner of her eye. ‘That was beautiful and really sweet. Thank you so much.’
‘Everything for you, hermosa,’ Oscar smiled, and he kissed her forehead.
‘I love you both so, so, so much,’ Y/N told them, and she started to cry. She couldn’t help herself, they were so thoughtful and sweet for her today. ‘I’m emotional, sorry. But everything you two did for me... I’m grateful.’
‘Hey, hey,’ Oscar hushed her. His tone was soft, and he wiped her tears away. ‘We love you too. You deserve this, all of this. You’re the love of my life. You gave me Sofia. I love you, mi amor.’
‘I love you too, mommy,’ Sofia said, and she hugged her mother’s middle. ‘You’re the best mommy in the whole world!’
Y/N laughed, and more tears fell down her cheeks. She bowed down to kiss the crown of Sofia’s head. Then, she turned around to face Oscar and she kissed him. Oscar smiled in the kiss and he kissed her back with all the passion he had.
Later that night, after a delicious dinner made by Oscar and Sofia and after they had put Sofia in bed and after the couple had spent some time on their couch watching a classic action movie, they were in their bathroom, making themselves ready to go to bed.
Y/N was wearing a red, very see-through negligee and she was brushing her teeth. Oscar stood behind her and he was undressing himself. Through the mirror, Y/N kept her eye on him, and she watched his every move. At one point, he caught her, and he smirked. He took off his shirt very slowly and the only thing he was wearing, were his boxers.
‘Oh, mi amor,’ he said, his voice was low and raspy. He inched towards her and his hands grabbed her hips. He nibbled on her neck and he maintained eye contact through the mirror. ‘You do realize that I still owe you one big birthday present?’
She whimpered and she quickly bent over to spit out the toothpaste. That movement made Oscar groan. Y/N slowly stood up and turned around. Oscar’s eyes were dark with lust and he pushed her against the sink. He attacked her lips without warning, and he let his tongue slip inside her mouth. Y/N moaned, she kissed him back and placed her arms around his neck. She tugged on his hair and she rocked her hips against his. Oscar growled and he grabbed her hips again, but roughly this time.
Y/N pressed little kisses against his jawline and her hands wandered from his neck to his shoulders, before sliding down to his chest. Her fingertips came in contact with his necklace and Y/N smiled. She slowly pulled back, while her fingers lingered on the cold metal.
When Oscar didn’t get the attention that he wanted, he whined and kissed the spot behind her ear.
‘Honey, hold on,’ Y/N muttered, and she moved one of her hands to his hips. Her fingers grazed the waistline of his boxes and she looked him in the eye. ‘Before I’m going to unwrap my gift, I have to give you a present.’
Oscar hesitated in his movements and he squeezed his eyebrows together. ‘W-what? I don’t understand. It’s your birthday, why do you have a present for me?’
Y/N smiled, and she stared at the necklace around his neck. It was the necklace. ‘You are wearing the necklace.’
He eyed her, still confused. ‘Yes, of course. It’s my favorite, because I can -’
‘Carry both my girls with me, every day,’ Y/N finished the sentence.
Oscar smiled and nodded. ‘Exactly.’
‘Come,’ Y/N said, and she made her way towards their bedroom.
‘Y/N, corazón, talk to me. What’s going on?’ Oscar asked her as he followed her into their bedroom.
‘Sit,’ she commanded and opened the drawer of her bedside table. He did what she said, and she sat down next to him.
She held a black, velvet box in her hand, and she gave it to him. ‘This is my gift for you.’
Oscar was still confused, but he accepted the box and he opened it slowly. Inside the box was a silver charm. It was plain and untouched. The charm resembled the two charms on his necklace, the only difference was that the new charm wasn’t engraved. Oscar picked it up and studied it attentively.
‘Y/N...’ he whispered, and he looked at her. ‘I – help me out? This charm is very similar to the charms on my necklace, but... I – I mean...’
‘But what?’ Y/N smiled, and she rubbed his hand with her thumb. ‘I think you have to add this charm to your necklace soon.’
His eyes darted from her stomach to her eyes, searching for any sign that she was joking. Carefully, he put the charm back and he placed the box on the bedside table. ‘No...’
Y/N smiled softly and nodded. ‘Yes.’
Oscar gasped and he brought his hands to his mouth. ‘No... Y/N, are you serious? Please tell me you are not joking.’
‘I’m not joking, I’m one hundred percent serious,’ Y/N assured her husband.
He grabbed both her hands and he looked at her. ‘You’re pregnant?’
‘Yes!’ she told him, and the brightest smile appeared on her face. ‘Yes, I am. Sofia is getting a little brother or sister. And you, Oscar Isaac Hernández Estrada, you are going to be a daddy again.’
Oscar gulped. He watched their linked hands and when he looked up again, Y/N saw tears in his eyes. ‘Mi amor, gracias. Te amo tanto. No puedo vivir sin ti. Eres el mundo para mí.’
Now, Y/N was crying too. She was crying but smiling. ‘I love you too, so much. I can’t imagine my life without you.’
He let go off their hands and he embraced her in a tight hug. Oscar whispered sweet nothings in her ear, he told her how much he loved her, and he kissed her forehead and temple over and over again.
‘When did you find out?’ he asked her curiously after a passionate kiss. His arms were wrapped around her middle and he caressed her still flat belly.
‘Two weeks ago,’ she answered, and she laid her head against his shoulder. ‘I went to the doctors when you were filming. My missed period was one giveaway, but I vomited a lot and I started to dislike some food. So I took a test, which was positive. After that I went to the doctors, who confirmed it.’
Oscar hummed in agreement. ‘Yeah, I noticed the change in food and the vomiting. Now it makes sense, of course.’
Y/N laughed softly. ‘I wanted to surprise you, otherwise I would have told you earlier. I thought my birthday would be the perfect day. I had it all planned out. And I almost slipped up a couple of times.’
He laughed too. ‘That sounds like you. I’m glad you told me this way. Does anyone else know?’
‘Nope,’ she said, and she popped the “p”. ‘But Joe and Thea are suspicious.’
‘When are they not,’ Oscar joked. ‘How far along are you?’
‘Ten weeks,’ Y/N told him. ‘I’m going to show soon.’
He grinned. ‘I can’t wait. When should we tell Sofia that’s going to be a big sister? And when do you want to tell our family and friends?’
‘Maybe after the next ultrasound?’ she suggested. ‘I made an appointment for the next ultrasound in three weeks.’
‘Perfect,’ Oscar agreed, and he stroked her belly again. ‘I love you.’
‘I love you too,’ Y/N smiled, and she kissed him.
Oscar grinned in the kiss and he got ahold of her hips. He withdrew for a second to look at his wife. ‘I think you were about to unwrap you last birthday gift for today.’
Y/N stayed quiet for a minute, but then she burst out laughing. ‘Yeah, I think you’re right.’ And she moved her hands to the waistline of her husband’s boxers.
