"Happy Birthday Wildvine" said Richard with a smile as he hugged Tessa tightly.
"Aww Thank you Richie" said Tessa as she smiled.
"I have a gift for you" he said as he broke their hug.
"Awww you did not have to bring a gift for me, you are the best gift that I can ever have" said Tessa as she smiled.
"I really do appreciate that Wildvine" said Richard as he smiled, what Tessa just said made feel really happy, he never thought that he would be this silly for anyone, but Tessa was not just anyone, she was his wife, his love, and she would forever be his, and that was why he wanted tot do something special for her, regardless of if she wanted him to or not.
"But open it first and tell me what you think" said Richard as he gave Tessa a little red box.
"Aww Richie, you really did not have to" said Tessa with a bright smile as she opened the box, Richard waited expectantly for her reaction.
"Richie??" asked Tessa as she could not believe what she was seeing.
"Richie" she called once again as she thought she was dreaming.
"Yes Wildvine" replied Richard with a smile.
"Richie, it is not the real one is it??" asked Tessa as tears began to drop from her eyes.
"It is Wildvine, it is" said Richard as he smiled.
"Where did you find it?" she asked as she picked up the tiny silver with a little heart on it.
This was not just any piece of jewelry, it held a very special place in Tessa's heart, and she could not believe that Richard went out of his way to find her.
"Where else" said Richard as he smiled.
"Richie" said Tessa as she cried.
"Do not cry my wildvine" said Richard as he hugged her.
"So that was where you went to" said Tessa as she cried even more.
"You went to Geven" she said as she hugged him.
"You went to Geven did you not?" asked Tessa as she cried, she now knew where Richard had went to, his excuse of having to do something important was just a lie, he went to go find her beloved bracelet.
"Yes I did" replied Richard as he hugged her.
"You are the best Richie" said Tessa.
"Where did you find it?" asked Tessa as Richard wiped away her tears.
"I went looking for it in Geven and someone directed me to an old woman who collects lost silver and she remakes them" said Richard.
"I happened to be lucky and she did not melt down your bracelet yet" said Richard.
Tessa cried, Richard was more than lucky, the heavens had destined him to find it, she had lost that bracelet almost twenty years ago, and yet here he was with it, her love for him increased even more, and now she knew more than ever that Richard would do absolutely anything for her.
"Brother look" said Tessa as she broke her hug with Richard and she went to Lawrence.
"It is mother's bracelet" she said as she sniffed
"The one that I lost when I went to Geven a few years ago" said Tessa as she gave the bracelet to Lawrence.
Lawrence did not show it but he looked sad, this was their mother's bracelet, it even had her initials, they were DRS they stood for Darcy Regina Scot.
"It is her bracelet" said Lawrence as he gave it back to Tessa, Ireti could tell that this affected him more than he showed, so she moved closer to him and she held his hand.
Lawrence looked at her and she smiled at him, the expression on her face told him that she was saying that it was okay for him to feel like that, even though he did not show it.
Lawrence squeezed Ireti's hand and she smiled at him, this was a very sour sweet moment in their lives right now, because each one of them had their own reasons and opinions, but today was a happy day, it was Tessa's birthday and she deserved the best.
"Mother gave it to me, and I lost it" said Tessa as she gave it to Richard to put it on for her.
"This is the best Birthday present that I can ever receive in my entire life" said Tessa.
"I Love you Richie" said Tessa as Richard put on her bracelet for her, it fit her perfectly just like before.
"And I love you too Wildvine" said Richard as Tessa gave him a quick kiss.
"Baby, can you see what your father found for me" said Tessa as she put her wrist to her stomach as if the baby in her could see through.
"Your father is the best man in the entire world" said Tessa as she praised Richard and he smiled he liked it.
"Oh and also your Uncle my brother" said Tessa as she turned to look at Lawrence, she gave him a look that said "I can never forget about you which made him smile.
"And your wonderful Aunt Ireti" said Tessa as she turned to look at Ireti and Ireti smiled at her.
"And lastly your lovely cousin" said Tessa as she turned to look at Wura and Wura smiled.
"Grow big soon my baby, so you can come and join the family" said Tessa as she rubbed her stomach.
"You know what I am famished, let us eat" said Tessa as the food on the dining table had once again caught her eye.
Wura laughed, she knew that it was only a matter of time before her beloved Aunt would remember to eat, she loved food very much, and especially now with her being pregnant.
Everyone else laughed too.
"I prepared Breakfast especially for you today Tessa" said Ireti as they all sat down at the dining table.
"Oh I know Reti, who else would prepare food so delicious" said Tessa as her mouth was already watering from all the delicious foods she was perceiving the aroma of.
"Haha" laughed Everyone, Tessa could never change, and she did not need to, she was perfect the way she was, she was herself.
