“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, Dear Aunt Abby, happy birthday to you.”
Abby clapped as the off key redition of the song ended and moved further into Autospy, “Thanks, guys.”
“Blow out your candle, before it melts the ice cream,” Emily held out a small ice cream cake with one lone candle. Abby bent over slightly and gave a gentle puff to extinguish the flame. “Didcha make a wish?”
“Didn’t have to. My wish came true, cause you’re here,” she wrapped her arms around the girl and smiled at Ducky. “So, was this your idea, Duckman?”
“Well, I realize that Jethro will be tracking out in the field most of the night and you’ll be monitoring his progress, so I thought that Emily Rose could be Mother’s and my guest tonight. And what a better way to start the night than with a birthday celebration?”
She leaned over Emily and kissed his cheek, “You’re right, this was perfect.”
“So you were surprised,” Emily asked taking one of the spoons Ducky offered and stabbing at the cake.
Since they wouldn’t bother cutting the cake for just the three of them, Abby stabbed at the cold confection, “I was very surprised. In fact, I think this was the absolutely best part of my day.”
“You still pissed at Daddy for forgetting,” Emily mumbled around a mouth full of vanilla ice cream and chocolate crunchies.
“Emily, watch your language,” Abby automatically corrected.
In order to hide the smile that he always found on his lips when Abby became paternal, Ducky put his own spoonful into his mouth.
“Sorry. Are you still mad at Dad - see, I didn’t want to say that cause it rhymed.”
Abby laughed and tickled the girls side for a second, “No, I’m not mad at Daddy, cause he didn’t forget my birthday. He got me a present.”
“Really,” Emily looked astonished. “What did he get you? Cause he didn’t tell me that he got you anything. And he didn’t ask me to help.”
“Well, it is something kinda private, Em,” Abby’s pale skin colored slightly.
Emily rolled her eyes, “You mean that it is something that I’m too young to know about.”
This time Abby did completely blush and looked at Ducky for help. Fortunately, he was able to change the course of the conversation quickly and Emily forgot all about the gift.
Before long the ice cream cake was finished and Abby was needed back in her lab. Ducky and Emily decided to walk her back on their way out of headquarters. As Emily ran ahead, Ducky and Abby walked slowly, their arms wrapped comfortably around each other.
Ducky smiled up at the young woman, “You do know that Jethro intended on doing something special for your birthday this year. Something more than just dinner. He wanted this birthday to reflect the change in your relationship.”
“Trust me, his gift does,” Abby laughed as she gave her friend a squeeze.
Ducky shook his head, “He wanted to do something more, something grand. The case unfortunately got in the way.”
“I know, Duck. There was a note with the present, but I’m kinda glad he didn’t. I’m not sure I’m ready for the ‘grand gesture’ yet. I like just being us.”
“And that seems to be working very nicely,” Ducky hugged her. “I hope you know I am most pleased for you both.”
She returned the hug, “Thank you, Ducky.”
As they broke the hug, he looked up at her, “So, what exactly did Jethro give you, my dear?”
“Well, I’m not sure your old enough to know about it, but,” the rest of the statement was whispered into his ear.
Now, it was Ducky’s turn to blush.
