Birthday Surprise
Paring: Christian Cage x Gn!Reader
Fandom: Wwe/Aew
Request: Yes, by anon
Summary: Christian and the kids plan a surprise party for the reader's birthday
Tumblr media
Jay finally had time off work just in time for your birthday and Jay knew this and wasn't unprepared. Jay had gotten the kids, Isla and Kayden to help him with a surprise. Jay had bought quite a lot of things that he would need, such as cake, your favorite candy, favorite food, and a few other things.
The Kids had tried their best to help Jay set up what they could. Jay had gotten Beth to help get you out of the house so he could do this. Jay had gone so far as to buy decorations like streamers, balloons, and a couple of other things. There was some worry about how you'd react to this. Jay wanted to make this special and make up for the birthdays he's missed due to work and traveling.
After setting everything out and setting the decor where Jay thought they'd look alright and making sure he had all the presents, he messaged Beth to let her know she could bring you home. You didn't expect Jay to do anything for your birthday, so when you opened the front door to the three of them yelling surprised you were completely shocked.
It took Isla and Kayden running over to you for you to come out of the shock you were in. Everything looked amazing and beautiful. You were very happy and Jay could tell which caused him to stop worrying about how you'd react. The kids were extremely excited for you to open the gifts they had got you. Jay stood back and watched his family having fun. Of course, Jay had gotten you a few gifts but he had no problem with for the kids to have their moments.
The gifts from the kids were simple but adorable. Jay had gotten a little more fancy gifts but this didn't change the fact that the day was extremely adorable and sweet. After opening the gifts the rest of the afternoon was spent eating the cake, candy, and food Jay had bought. Then the rest of the day was spent with a family movie night and family cuddles.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Isla is the kind of girl that hates being alone, she would rather be around a bunch of strangers than be alone, but she hates any kind of commotion and likes to keep the peace with everyone, but trouble seems to find her. She wants to be loved and wanted and will do anything to get it, she wants someone to adore her and worship the very ground she stands on. She is a beautiful girl but she doesn't see it, she can't stand seeing herself in the mirror and she is close to crying when she eats. But she tries.  She was a cheerleader in school and popular but never acted like she was. She was like everyone else, friendly and sweet. But there was a bad streak about her. She was once caught in school with a weapon, this was because someone was being bullied constantly and she wanted to make it stop. She had a bad habit of stealing things, anything really. She loves the finer things in life and knows that if someone loves her enough, they would do whatever it took to keep her happy; giving her the finer things she so badly desires.

Talk bestie talk
okay 🫶🏻
harry and hera don’t tell anyone that they’re having twins. they keep it a secret. (how harry does that with isla always prying at him is a miracle). so, when they get home from the hospital, isla sets up a little welcome home party with a birthday cake and everything and a sign that says “welcome home, baby!” because they didn’t know names or gender or anything. hera walks in holding harley, and immediately everyone is caught up with them and then, all of a sudden, isla goes, “wait, where’s harry?” and harry walks in holding hazel .. and of course, someone makes a comment like, “did you steal an extra baby?” and harry’s like “do you really think i’m do that?” and they’re like “if hera asked you to, then yes” and everyone laughs and it’s so sweet cause isla is frantic to fix the sign and hera is like “it’s perfect” and isla is crying so hera is crying and everyone is dying to know their names and they don’t announce them until they’re singing happy birthday
i want to cry

Good afternoon, everyone. How are you doing? Did you have a good New Years Eve? We are happy to see you again, and to share another year with you on here, and we hope you’re all safe and well. It’s been one week since the last update, and a wonderful week at that. We’re still getting “adjusted” to, if you can even call it that, it being 2022 now, and we’re no longer in 2021. My husband and I (well, more myself than him), sometimes get confused when we look at our calendar, and to be expected, not much have changed, you know. But it’s been good, and I hope that 2022 has been good to you, too, so far. Anyway, moving on. This is a long post, so grab a blanket, maybe some hot cocoa, and let's get started! Now, I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this on here (guess who needs to read her old posts once in a while), but I know my sister have mentioned it on her own blog. She and her family have moved into a house in Rosewood Park, so that means we live closer to each other now, and to our brother, Aiden, as well. They still have the house in Dreamer’s Bay, but it’s mostly used for when her husband works late and can’t make it back to Rosewood Park (everyone needs to rest, and Sam is no different.) They also plan to maybe live there during the Summers, to be close to the Beach ☀️
Oh well, this is the first post of 2022, so let’s make this a good one. Back in November 2020, this crazy Mom decided to make a post with our Clair and her little cousins, all born in 2019. Yes, both of my siblings and myself welcomed one or more babies in 2019, so when we all got together shortly after the Quadruplets first birthday, I thought it would be fun to put all of them in matching wintersuits, and take a picture (check it here.) Oh, and this should be enough to let you know why I just called myself “crazy.” Six wild toddlers and a camera? Did I still have hair on my head after? Good question.
Now, so I thought, what would be cuter than to get everyone together again, and take a new picture for the start of the new year? Pretty damn cute, I know. But of course, that didn’t go as planned. Aiden and his family would travel to Italy on January 1st, to visit family there, so I only managed to get our sister to join. But fret not, WE WILL DO THIS! We got the kids, we got the matching outfits, and we got the cameras, so when our brother is back from vacation, we’re ready! The sad part is, they will not be back anytime soon. No, they plan to stay in Italy for one whole MONTH, and as much as I will miss spending time with them, I get it. Aiden’s husband was born in Italy, and most of his family still live there, and because of this, they don’t see them often. So of course, I understand. Family is important.
I don’t want to wait one month to update so soon after new years, and my sister often comes by when our husbands are at work. That way, we won’t be alone for hours, and we can help each other take care of the little ones. Four hands are better than two, even when the number of kids doubles, haha.
For the photos above, we tried to make as similar to the photo we took back in 2020. Maegan even convinced Chenoa and Isla to let her do their hair the same. They’re not big fans of this hairstyle anymore. “We’re not little babies,” they said, but then allowed her to do it. And they have much longer and wilder hair now, and very little patience. It looked challenging, alright. The jackets we bought a long time ago. Little kids grow incredibly fast, and since none of them could fit into their wintersuits when Fall came, it was time to get something new for everyone. Let me tell you, I’m so thankful that these kids LOVE to wear matching clothes, and for how sweet and cooperative they were for this 💕
LEFT TO RIGHT: KELE 💜 LEONEL 💙 CHENOA 🧡 ISLA 💛 CLAIR ❤️

Excerpt from Let’s Kill Imogen! I’m making my way through a new short story extremely slowly, haha
---
          Isla hates the sticky dough on her hands. She hadn’t thought ahead, and it sticks to her cuffs, and buries deep inside her fingernails, and when she moves to wipe the sweat gathering at her forehead, it gets caught in her hair. “Alright, enough,” she says when six lumps roughly resembling scones have taken shape. “After this, simply fire up the scones until they’re golden in color, and you can serve them.”
           “How long will that take?” Imogen asks. Her cheek is also smeared with dough. An almond slice sticks to her sleeve.
           “I don’t know,” Isla snaps. “Go play with Mary.”
           The girls obligingly run off, happy to be free from Isla’s scowling scrutiny. Sibylline’s eyes and mouth have the lineless quality of a woman with no reason to frown. Even after three children and two decades married to that boor, she looks fresh as the day of her debut.
           “What do you want, Sibyl?” Isla asks, wiping her hands off once more.
           “Must I want something to visit my oldest friend?”
           “I would prefer if you did,” Isla answers. “Unless, of course, you want to waste my time, in which case, I wish you would want something else.”
           “Well, we don’t always get what we want, do we?” Sibylline says with a smirk. “I see you’re teaching Imogen the tricks of the Hewitt family trade.”
           “She can do what she wants.”
           “She’s a wild child.”
           “If you don’t want Mary to pick up bad habits, then simply don’t bring your daughter over. Impressionability is the worst quality a girl can have.”
           Sibylline pouts, and it should look ridiculous on a woman in her late thirties, but because it’s Sibylline, it only vexes Isla. “You’re so mean, Isla. Mary enjoys playing with Imogen, and Imogen is a smart girl. They won’t get in too much trouble.”
           “Did you know Imogen is nearly thirteen?”
           The pout instantly becomes another smirk. “Why, of course I did! My darling Mary’s birthday is only one day after Imogen’s, as you know.”
           The abdominal pain this time is followed by a stabbing headache. Isla sighs. Sibylline and her uncanny ability to give Isla a migraine. “They grew up quickly. Sometimes, I think, too quickly.”
           “Not quickly enough, if you ask me,” Sibylline laughs. “Does your head hurt?” she puts a cool hand against Isla’s forehead, wiping away the dough with her thumb. “You put yourself under too much stress.”
           “I think,” Isla says, feeling her tongue slide under her teeth, “you simply don’t have a single care in the world.”
           Sibylline giggles. “Oh, life is so much easier that way. You should try it, Isla.”
           “You know you’re not a child, and you can’t live like that?”
           “You wouldn’t have as many worries if Edward were still here,” Sibylline says with a dismissive wave of her hand. She picks up the vial from the table beside the dough tray, rolling it between her thumb and forefinger. “Poor Edward. Only twenty-six and almost newlywed.”
           “Some things are inevitable,” Isla says. She hadn’t realized just how tired she was until the sigh escapes at the end of her sentence.
           “And some things are meant to be,” Sibylline says, pressing the vial into Isla’s palm. “Those aren’t really the same thing, don’t you think?”
           “What are you trying to say?”
           Sibylline smiles, and in that moment, she looks nothing like sweet little Mary Hearst’s mother. “I’m not trying to say anything at all, dearest Isla.”

Angels - Part 1
by mrandmrswales (Emily) / January 28, 2013
So this is my first fanfic that I’m publishing and I am as expected a little nervous about it! I really hope you like it and so please give me feedback, negative or positive!! It’s set on December 25th 2020. Kate and William have had two little girls, Princesses Elizabeth and Isabella (Libby and Belle). I hope there aren’t any mistakes! If you have any ideas for part 2, let me know!
Emily x
————————————————————————-
‘Mummy! Daddy! Wake up! It’s Christmas! Father Christmas came!’  two high-pitched voices filled my head and last remaining grip I had on sleep left me as I was jumped on by two little weights in excitement. Libby crawled next to me, forcing my body away from my wife’s and curling into Kate’s side. Any other day, I would have been a little irritated to be awoken rather rudely at quarter to 7, but it was Christmas Day after all. With a smile, I sat up and turned the lights on to observe my two little angels clutching their stockings. Their faces were red with excitement and their lovely green eyes, almost the same as their mother’s, glowed with anticipation.
‘Happy Christmas darlings.’ said Kate, giving them both kisses and I did the same. Christmas had never been the same for me after my mother died, however soon after meeting Kate and being able to spend it with her and then later our two daughters had rejuvenated my love of Christmas. Our littlest, Belle, who had been sitting at the end of our bed while Libby had wriggled between Kate and I, had decided she was cold so crawled in next to me and I gave her a cuddle.
“You excited sweetie?’ I asked and she nodded. She was a lot quieter than Libby who had always been the more outgoing and louder of the two, which was probably a good thing considering she was to be Queen. ‘Who’s excited to open presents?!’ I said cheerfully and was met with two little squeals of excitement. I glanced at Kate who was helping Libby to unwrap her first present and felt a swell of pride and happiness. My little family at Christmas-nothing could be better.
An hour later, our room looked like a bomb had hit it. Wrapping paper was everywhere and presents adorned the bed. In the middle sat Libby, Belle and Kate smiling widely as I took a photo, the girls holding up their favourite presents for the camera. Libby had a new scarf and Belle had a new little boat for the bath among other little goods. When finished, I was left to try and clear everything up, while Kate went downstairs with the girls to make a cup of tea and let Lupo out.
After the excitement of seeing that Santa had eaten his mince pie and drunk his brandy and the reindeer had eaten its carrots, Breakfast began. Pancakes were cooked (by Kate of course) and I helped put golden syrup faces and lemon on the girl’s pancakes, much to their delight. We were just about to start when Libby piped up, ‘Daddy Can I have sprinkles on mine?’ I saw Kate frown and laughed, ‘Of course sweetie.’ to which she promptly groaned, ‘Will it’s breakfast time, you’ll get them into bad habits.’
‘Oh it’s Christmas! One time okay girls?’
They nodded, grinning happily and I fetched the sprinkles, pouring them on the girls and then on Kate’s. She grinned and chuckled and we all began to eat.
—————————————————————————————-
‘You look beautiful’ I remarked as I left the bathroom to see my wife putting in the earrings I gave her for her 30th birthday. ‘Thank you’ she murmured quietly while I wandered over to her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She sighed contentdly.
‘Did you ever imagine how happy we’d all be a couple of years ago? Not that we weren’t happy, but having the girls makes me feel so complete.’ I nodded. There were no words needed between us. I swivelled her around and gave her a kiss that lingered slightly. She smiled and rested her head on my chest and I rested my head on hers. ‘Happy Christmas darling.’ I whispered and she smiled as I kissed her forehead. We stayed like that in our own world like we used to before children who needed your attention constantly came along. To prove my point, we promptly heard a crash upstairs and a muffled cry of ‘Libby Go Away!’ Chuckling, We broke apart reluctantly and Kate left to go upstairs and calm them down while I put on my suit.
———————————————————————————————-
‘Oh I wish it could be Christmas everydayyyyy!’ We all sang loudly as we drove the short distance from Amner Hall to Sandringham were we would spend most of the rest of the day. Kate’s parents, sister and brother with their families were coming down this evening to spend the following day with us. Pulling up, we were met by an excited Isla and Savannah, my Cousin Peter’s daughters who were only a few years older than mine. ‘Merry Christmas!’ they yelled and hugs and kisses were given all round before we were dragged inside to greet everyone else.
‘Uncle Harry!’ Came an excited shout further up the corridor as we walked through. I smiled as a familiar mop of red hair jumped out and began hugging the girls, making them laugh with his cheekiness already. Straightening up eventually, he hugged Kate and myself and walked the rest of the way into the enormous greeting room where the rest of my relatives were. Almost as if the spell of the older generation had hit, the girls fell silent and hung back. Belle clinging on to Kate’s skirt for support. Kate shot me a look and I smiled. It was almost the only time the girls were silent.
———————————————————————————————-
‘Can you hold Belle please Will?’ Kate asked me. Belle, being a lot shier than Libby didn’t like to interact with the public unless she was being held by either Kate or myself. I nodded and picked her up. Libby was holding hands with my cousin Louise and chatting away to her in front of us. I smiled watching them. It was really very sweet. In a moment of spontaneity, I took Kate’s hand in my spare one, prompting a hidden smile from her. We hardly ever showed PDA in public, but Christmas with my family had put me in a good mood and I wanted to show the public that even after two children, I still loved Kate more than ever, if not more.
‘Hello! It’s lovely to meet you! I hope you’re having a wonderful Christmas.’ I said to two old women. ‘Lovely to meet you too dear, thank you very much! Isn’t she sweet? Takes after her father!’ They cried, cooing at Belle, who was curled up into my shoulder. I laughed and thanked them before moving on. Further ahead, Kate and Libby were now meeting people. Libby had been confident, charming and chatty or so I was told by many people I met after she had moved on. I had never felt so proud. At long last, we reached the church. I met up with Kate and praised Libby, who smiled bashfully. Kate and I exchanged a proud look and we entered the church.
‘Daddy I’m bored,’ whispered Belle. I grimaced. This was the 5th time I had been told so and we’d only been here half an hour. ‘Not long Belle’ I replied and she groaned, wriggling about in her seat. ‘Shhh Belle’ Whispered Kate. ‘But Mummy I’m bored!’ Belle hissed again. Kate groaned and rummaged in her bag for a colouring book. ‘Here you go.’ She said and handed it over. Belle was satisfied and began to carefully colour a turtle pink and purple. However it wasn’t long before Libby decided she was bored too and asked to colour in too. ‘No. I’m colouring!’ Belle replied grumpily. ‘Come on you’ve been colouring in for agesss! Mummy please can I colour in?’
‘Shh. Libby aren’t you too old to colour in?’
‘No mummy!’
‘Oh all right. Belle darling can you share? I only brought one.’
‘No.’
‘darling come on and share.’ I said, stepping in to help Kate.
Belle turned around and glared at me, but gave in when I gave her my ‘cross daddy’ look. Soon enough, the two of them were colouring in a blue elephant.
———————————————————————————————-
‘Can I have five potatoes please?’ Libby asked. We were sat at the enormous table at Sandringham for Christmas Lunch. I noted how the table had just kept getting bigger in the last few years.
‘No Libby, you’ll only be having two for now.’ I told her firmly.
‘Oh Daddy its Christmas!’
‘Yes Libby I know, but were at your great-grandmother’s house and you behave okay?’
‘Okay..’ She replied sullenly and I smiled, remembering all the times I had done that as a boy. For a moment, the strong urge to see my mother swept over me. She would have loved the girls and they would have loved her even more. It was my wedding day and the birth of Libby and Belle that had been the best and worst moments of my life since she had gone. The fact I couldn’t look across at her for reassurance or ask her for parenting advice was tough, but I knew she was watching down on us and smiling. I snapped out of my reverie to see Kate watching me from across the table with a slight look that only I understood. Once satisfied I was okay, she smiled a loving smile and turned back to Zara to continue with her chatter.
Lunch passed and many a joke and laugh was held as the day lengthened out. After the many courses and continual chatter, plus the excited voices of the children as they ran around with the dogs between courses, it was decided that a walk would be good for all who wanted to go. Catherine and I helped the girls into their coats and wellington boots before setting off with the rest of the younger half of the family. The girls rushed ahead, leaving Kate and I at the back, hands entwined and huddled close for warmth.
‘Were you okay at lunch?’ She asked suddenly, interrupting the contented silence hanging in the frozen air.
‘Yeah. I was just thinking about Mum.’ She squeezed my hand tighter in support
‘She watching us. And she’s proud of you and the girls.’
‘And you.’ I corrected and she chuckled.
‘Exactly. Proud of all of us. She wouldn’t want you to be sad Will. I know Christmas is tough but just cherish all the happy memories with her and make happy ones for all of us in the future.’ I smiled and kissed her forehead. She knew exactly how to make me feel better, that was why I was so lucky to have her and my beautiful angels.

Shannon Harris → Emmy Rossum → Jackal Shifter 
→ Basic Information
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Birthday: January 23rd
Zodiac Sign: Aquarius
Religion: Christian
→ Her Personality Shannon has followed in her mother, Sarah Harris, footsteps through and through. She has grown to become a charming and confident liaison in training, ready and eager to take Sarah’s place and improve their already thriving pack. Like most Chicago jackals, Shannon attended DePaul, graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Undergrad in communications, and continued to excel in the communications Graduate program with a multicultural communication concentration. Thanks to her grades, neighborhood connections and known presences in the community, it was easy for Shannon to score a job of a lifetime; the media consultant for the Fischer Mayor Campaign. While everything seems to be going exceptionally well on the outside, Shannon is not entirely happy on the inside. She struggles with internal insecurities and feels like she is simply keeping up a charade; that she could never measure up to her mother or sister, Zelda. This internal battle often causes Shannon anxiety which in turn causes her to ramble and assume the worst of situations. This shows especially around people she finds attractive or intimidating.
Despite these self-sabotaging thoughts, Shannon does not let them control her life or let them show in public and in front of her family and friends. Typically, she still gives off a very outward appearance of confidence and competence. She is a very approachable person and can deftly put people around her at ease. Shannon has a way with words and her earnestness has greatly helped in her with the media surrounding the Fischer campaign. No matter how much she takes after her mother she is also as understanding as her father, Zack. They can both forgive and forget, keeping it moving another day. Just like both of her parents, Shannon has a mission to accomplish great things for the supernatural community before following the jackal way; settling down, getting married and eventually kids. Her parents waited until they were nearing a century together to have Shannon and Zelda. Shannon was not as fortunate to find ‘the one’ at a young age like her parents but she is not opposed to dating or even getting serious as long as she keeps her freedom to do what she loves.

→ His/Her Connections
Parent Names:
Zekharyah Harris (Father): Zack and Shannon often have to play referees to the epic fights of Sarah and Zelda. She has inherited his ability to placate people and situations. Zack is also the one who best knows how to get Shannon out of her head. She can’t count the number of times that he’s grabbed her coat and pulled her out to go for a drive or take a walk down to the local diner. He can pull her out of a spiral before it gets too far and grounds her to herself and the situation at hand.
Sarah Harris (Mother): Sarah and Shannon are very close. Her mom was her idol growing up and she wanted to be just like her. She has followed in her footsteps from going into the same program at DePaul to graduating top of her class and choosing to become a liaison. Sarah has been stepping back and having Shannon go to meetings on her own, even letting her go with Ellis to deal with the cats on one occasion. Her mom’s faith in her means everything to Shannon.
Sibling Names:
Zelda Harris (Sister): Everything comes naturally to Zelda: the wit, the intelligence (that she wasted), a committed boyfriend. She just is who she is, while all Shannon does is try to be someone or achieve something she isn’t. They often don’t get along, especially in situations where Shannon feels pitted against her sister in some way. However, they always have each other's back and have covered for one another too many times to count.
Children Names:
None
Romantic Connections:
None
Platonic Connections:
Vanessa Armstrong (Best Friend): Shannon has known Vee her whole life.  They have long surpassed best friends, and consider each other sisters. They’re almost the perfect balance of one another; Vee gives Shannon a push when she needs the confidence and Shannon helps keep her grounded. She was the sister that Shannon always wanted, who got along with her and shared similar interests. The campaign is the most time she’s gotten to spend with Vanessa since she began training to be liaison
Robert J. Fischer (Boss/Friend): Shannon really believes in the work Robert is doing. She has seen him listen to the concerns and issues that everyone has and thinks he is a good representative for the supernatural community. Part of her is kept up all night with the nightmares of what will happen if anyone finds out, but they’ve gotten a lot better recently.
Odell Rella (Friend): She was not surprised when Odell and Zelda announced they were dating. He was over almost every night for dinner, and when he wasn’t there, she wasn’t either. They make sense though, and she is glad Zelda found her person.
Isla Johns (Friend): Isla has been around Shannon and the other jackals more because of Seth and Anton’s relationship. The timing couldn’t be any better because of the Fischer campaign and Isla being part of the local news cast.
Ellis Watts (Respects): Ellis has been around her whole life and was closer to family than any of her actual uncles. As she’s gotten older, and has seen the disaster that a lot of the other packs are, her respect for Ellis has grown more and more.
Anton Kowalski (Friendly): Seth introduced Anton to their entire pack. Anton’s the first nimble and wolf hybrid that Shannon has met; coywolf. She finds him interesting and has been keeping in contact with him. Shannon has done her part as in introducing Anton to the local hyenas, human shifters and rats.
Milo Vasu (Friendly): Milo is interning in the Media office for the campaign. She has him working with social media to bring awareness to the Gen Z and Millennial crowd. They are banking on them, as well as the supernatural community to get Robert into office.
Seth Allen (Unsure): Seth is kind of like Zelda if she were feral. Standoffish, blunt,  and a little mean, still she’s seen some of his redeeming features and knows there’s good in him. He just doesn’t care to show it to her.
Maxine Vane (Liaison): Max has been a major inspiration when it comes to being a liaison. Max is the easiest to deal with and drops suggestions whenever Shannon finds herself flustered. Lately, they’ve been meeting outside of pack business for lunch. Shannon has been finding it hard to keep the campaign from Max.
Ray Hamelin (Liaison): Ray dealt with Sarah on liaison business while Shannon was training but as of lately Shannon has been dealing one on one with Max only. Shannon doesn’t know if she turned Ray away or if Ray deliberately sent Max since they were a better match. Shannon got the idea of two liaison from the rats.
Emmett Wilhelm (Liaison): There is usually no need for animal shifter and the immortals to communicate but one day Emmett extended a hand out to Shannon and she quickly took it. Their conversations are still in that awkward phase.
Vincent Kane (Liaison): Vincent is the person Shannon goes to when she needs to talk to the higher ups about the campaign and the relationship between the Jackals and Human Shifters. Sarah has said her contact with them has been stronger than anything she had previously accomplished, which made Shannon’s week.
Greer Finley (Acquaintance): Despite Sarah having a difficult time dealing with Greer, Shannon gets along with the cat shifter. She has to change her approach slightly, but they’re able to say what needs to be said and move on.
