Happy Birthday! (open to Titans)
Despite all the stuff she had been going through, Cait didn't forget Ty's birthday. Cait knew he didn't want anything, he never did, but he was still going to get a gift and a party. Well, at least cake and a small celebration with the Titans.

Cait had been saving for his birthday gift since Christmas. She had something in mind, but like almost everything it would take some saving up to get it for him. Her job paid well enough, but they did have to eat and help contribute to the daily living expenses of the Titans. Mom's birthday gift to her had helped a lot and Cait knew she'd be able to get Ty the best laptop on the market.

When the day arrived, Cait made sure there was cake and candles and she made sure the Titans knew about the party. No decorations though. Cait knew low key was the way to go with Ty.

Cait went to go get the birthday boy and bring him to the party.

	She returned the smile and crossed the room to him. "You're welcome. Did you enjoy your party?" She wasn't quite sure how to answer his question, so she didn't. A lot happened in a short time and she was still trying to figure things out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He kisses her gently, then nods. "I did. Biggest birthday party I've ever had, by far. Was great seeing everyone." he replies, switching topics as she directs for now. He knows she's been through a lot lately. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good, I'm glad," she said as she wrapped her arms around him. She was thankful he wasn't going to press. Though he didn't have to ask. They shared a mental bond and her feelings and thoughts filtered through. "Already hard at work I see. I wasn't sure what kind of computer to get you, so I hope that one will do."

	"Its amazing, love. With everyone's gifts working in theme, I have pretty much the perfect set up now. Way easier than just trying to memorize everything or use the tower computer." he replies, leaning into her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Funny enough it, we didn't really plan it or coordinate gifts. Of course I did tell Iris what I was getting you so I suppose that's how the word spread. But I am glad that you like it." Cait dropped a kiss on his forehead. "I love you and happy birthday. I'm glad it was a good one for you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He can't help but grin at that. "Yeah, tell Iris, and everyone will know. I'm half-surprised she didn't tell me. I love it though... and love you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: After the Party young_swimmer 2010-09-03 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, so it was a little coordinating," she said with a smile. "In a round about way." Cait nodded. "I'm surprised too. Usually Iris blurts everything out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think she gets the whole birthday thing, anyway. It seemed to work for coordination though. For social networking, she's better than facebook." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cait laughed. "Yeah, she is."

Cait kissed him and smiled. When she was alone with him she could forget all the other things that were weighing on her mind. Mera. Arthur. Atlantis.

There were times when she wondered if all the things that were happening were some sort of test. Even if it were, she knew she would get through it as long as she had Ty at her side.

"Mother seemed to have a good time," Cait said.

	"She did, I'm really glad she was able to make it. We should also figure out what we want to do with the money she gave us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: After the Party young_swimmer 2010-09-03 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Me too. I think we all needed a reason to celebrate." Cait shook her head. "It's your money," she said. "It was a gift to you. You spend it however you want." "Can I ask you something?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't need much. I'm also pondering how much it would be cheating or not to invest it. I'm not positive, but I think I could get us to the point we're not so month to month." Which he could anyway, but he's always overly cautious about using his powers for direct gain. "Anyway... yeah, of course. What is it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It could be nice having our own place again," Cait mused. "And also not be so dependent on the Titans." She shrugged. Her job paid enough to contribute to their living expenses, but it wasn't enough to find a place for the two of them.

"We've been together almost two years and I've never seen you visit your mom or at least call her and talk to her. Don't you ever want to see her or at least talk to her?"

	He sighs. "Of course I do. I love my mom... but she asked me to leave and stay away til I had a handle on my powers, and I'm trying to honor that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: After the Party young_swimmer 2010-09-04 12:27 am UTC (link)
	"Let's go see her," Cait said. "I'll go with you. You've gotten so much better with them and I will be there with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: After the Party all_powerfull 2010-09-04 03:32 am UTC (link)
	"A little better, usually only when I'm with you. You make all the difference. But if she's ok with it, I'd at least love to take her to dinner or something. Be good to see her again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: After the Party young_swimmer 2010-09-04 11:34 am UTC (link)
	"Call her and set something up," Cait said and smiled. "I would love to meet her and I'm sure she'd love to see you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait smiled and gave Ty a long deep kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: After the Party all_powerfull 2010-09-04 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	He happily returns the kiss. "You want to go for dinner or something tonight? We've been being so careful. I'd like to take you out for a nice dinner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
