Jake and Amy throwing Mac a first bday party headcannons?
Jake and Amy throwing Mac a first bday party headcanons
- As Mac is only one he hasn’t exactly voiced any specific interests but what Jake and Amy do know for sure is that their son loves watching ninja turtles with daddy, and attending baby swimming-classes with mommy! Alas of course the theme for Mr. Mac’s birthday has to be the sea and sea animals! 🥳 even though it’s Mac’s first birthday and he probably won’t remember it, and they therefore don’t wanna do anything too over the top and expensive, Jake and Amy still buy their son colorful balloons and a his own tiny, sea animal-themed cake!! Of course there’s 4 turtles on it - each with their own color mask!
- Besides Jake and Amy’s parents (they’ll have a huge Santiago-birthday with all 7 brothers and their families another day) they invite the 99-squad because they’re just as much Mac’s family as his biological family ❤️
- Holt brings Kevin, of course, but to Mac’s dismay cheddar can’t come because mommy is allergic and even though she can manage to be around doggos with help from some medicine they can’t have Cheddar leave his lovely, furry hair all over their apartment 😞
- Charles brings Genevieve and Nikolai, and spends the entire day taking pictures and documenting every moment which, seem in hindsight, Jake and Amy are thankful for. Both of their new lock screen photo is a picture of Mac burying his tiny hands in his little sea animal-clad cake with a big smile on his face while mommy and daddy kneel next to him and smile just as widely
- Rosa is the little guy’s biggest fan and spends a lot of time with her little godson on her hip, and when he wants down she follows him around and plays with him while Jake and Amy mingle a bit. “Should we take him off your hands for a bit, Rosa?” Jake asks curiously after she for the 8th time reads Mac a book about unicorns but she shakes her head no. “No it’s fine. Your son is pretty dope.”
- Hitchcock and Scully eat the sad remains of Mac’s ruined cake once the little boy has taken a few messy bites of it
- The jeffords girls also love love love Mac and play along with him and Rosa. Whenever Rosa needs a little break the girls take over and play with him ✨
- After singing happy birthday, opening gifts and bit more mingling, the guests leave and Jake and Amy pass out on the couch with tiny Mac asleep on Jake’s chest. Amy’s brought in a beer for her and Jake which they sip on in silence looking at their one! Year! Old!! Insane... he grows up so fast and they’re so proud of him already ❤️ they also agree on having the best little weird, mixed family

Happy birthday?
Inspired by post from @idkbutkamilah and comments by @poor-bi-choices
Amy tries to figure out when Kamilah's bday is, Kami mad when she throws party but actually enjoys it
"Kami?" asked Amy.
"Hm?"
"When's your birthday?" Kamilah sighed. She knew it was a matter of time before Amy asked.
"I don't know," Kamilah said with a shrug. "We didn't really celebrate birthdays."
She hoped that would be enough for Amy, but she knew better.
"Well," she said, "what time of year was it?"
"It was summer," said Kamilah. "Many of my friends were born in the spring, but I was born later. It was always very hot, around that time. We were in the thick of summer."
Amy nodded. She'd read about the flooding of the Nile, which occurred around August. It was believed to be a time of fertility in Ancient Egypt, so many conceptions occurred around that time, leading to a spike of births in spring.
"And you never celebrated?" Amy persisted.
"Not as a child," said Kamilah. "Birthdays weren't the same then. They were reserved for Pharaohs, and celebrated their birth as a God."
"What about later on?" asked Amy.
Kamilah sighed. Amy was like a dog with a bone. "The last time I celebrated my birthday was just before Alexander the Great was born," she said. "It was a lovely night under a breathtaking full moon. It just doesn't mean as much when you've got no one to celebrate with."
The look of pain on her face broke Amy's heart. She walked over to her, giving her a hug.
"Sorry," she said. "I'll stop asking about it."
But Amy was resolved to figure out when Kamilah's birthday was and celebrate her properly.
Over the next few months she used her free time to research. She didn't have much luck looking at Ancient Egyptian traditions and time, so she shifted focus to Alexander the Great.
She finally had some luck. Alexander the Great was born during the Olympics, based on reports that his father had received word the day of his birth that his horses had won at the Olympic games.
After further digging, Amy was able to find the previous full moon before the Olympics, as Kamilah had mentioned a full moon on the night she'd last celebrated her birthday.
With a board full of notes that made her look like a conspiracy theorist, Amy was finally able to track down Kamilah's birthday.
June 30th.
Luckily, that gave her a little over a month to plan.
Amy wasn't sure how she should celebrate. She thought of throwing an elegant, formal party, but Kamilah had to attend formal work functions all the time. She wanted her to let loose and have fun.
After agonizing for days, she finally decided to consult Adrian.
"I don't know what to do," said Amy.
"You know she's going to hate this, right?" he said. "She doesn't like celebrating her birthday."
"Ughh," said Amy. "You're supposed to be helping me, not being a Debbie Downer!"
Adrian raised an eyebrow. "A Debbie Downer?"
"Yes," sighed Amy. "Debbie Downer, sourpuss, Negative Nancy, take your pick. I'll go elsewhere."
She left Adrian, deciding to recruit Lily to her super-secret party planning committee.
"Oh! This is so exciting!" squealed Lily. "We can have fireworks and cake and we can have a dance contest and karaoke and all kinds of alcohol."
Amy regretted her decision immediately.
"I'm not sure Kamilah would like that," she said gently.
"Girl," said Lily. "Who wouldn't like that?!"
"...Kamilah," said Amy. "Thanks anyway."
Amy left Lily behind, accepting that she and she alone could plan the perfect party for Kamilah.
She went home and began to draw up ideas. Over the next few weeks she ordered the cake, party favors, Kamilah's favorite wine, and of course her birthday present.
Finally, the day had come.
Kamilah went to work, just like any other day. Amy had already let their friends know when and where to show up, and she put Adrian in charge of getting Kamilah there.
"What do you want me to tell her?" he'd asked.
"I don't know," said Amy. "Make something up. Official Council business. New feral outbreak. Gaius back from the dead. Get creative."
Adrian sighed, but reluctantly accepted the task.
Amy arrived ahead of time to set everything up. She had rented a cabin and planned to bring in Kamilah's birthday under the full moon, just like the last time she'd celebrated. She really hoped she liked it.
Lily and Jax showed up and helped her set, up. She had a table with food and refreshments, a table for vampire-only drinks and a table for alcohol.
She'd gotten Kamilah an adorable birthday crown that was gold and had beautiful jewels, just like the relics she had in her home from her youth.
Jax started a fire to light the dark field behind the cabin. Amy smiled as the darkness grew, hundreds of fireflies littering the field before her.
She received a text from Adrian saying that they were close.
"Okay guys!" she said, they're almost here!
They stood by the gate that led to the back from the driveway, ready to surprise her.
They heard the car and in no time at all, Kamilah rounded the corner.
"Surprise!" they all shouted.
Kamilah reacted instantly, knocking Jax to the ground.
"Oof!" he said.
Kamilah looked around.
"What is this?" she asked quickly. "Amy? You're okay?"
She took Amy in her arms, relief flooding her body.
"Adrian," said Amy, "what did you tell her?"
Adrian shrugged meekly. "She wouldn't come," he said.
"He told me your life was in danger," she said, stepping back. "I now see that is not the case."
Amy smiled, hoping that that remained true. "Happy birthday?" she said shyly.
The color drained from Kamilah's face as she looked at Amy. "Birthday?" she asked.
"I--I figured it out," she said. "And you deserve to be celebrated, so... I threw you a birthday party."
"A birthday party," Kamilah said, still staring at Amy.
"You're not too angry, are you?" asked Amy.
"I told you I don't celebrate my birthday," she said.
"Right," said Amy. "Because you didn't have anyone to celebrate with. But now you do. You have me. Us." She motioned to her friends.
Kamilah sighed. "Amy--"
Amy interrupted her. "Please, Kamilah," she said. "Just give it a chance? If you hate it, we'll leave."
Kamilah pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Very well," she said.
Amy's face lit up like a firework, and Kamilah knew she wouldn't be leaving. She'd do anything for that look in her eyes.
"I got you a birthday crown," said Amy, walking to one of the tables.
"Is this really necessary?" asked Kamilah.
"Yes," said Amy. "Because you're my queen."
Kamilah couldn't help but smile as she pulled out the crown. It reminded her of home, even if it was plastic.
"Very well," said Kamilah, bending down so that Amy could place it on her head.
"You look beautiful, your majesty," said Amy, bowing.
Kamilah chuckled. She even loved Amy's stupid sense of humor.
"Now," said Amy. "I have your favorite wine," she pointed to the alcohol table, "your favorite non-alcoholic refreshment," she pointed to the vampire-only table, "and treats."
Kamilah poured herself a glass of wine.
"Here is your throne, m'lady," said Amy, gesturing to a chair before the fire.
"Thank you," said Kamilah. "This is beautiful, Amy."
"I thought we could bring in your birthday under a full moon, just like the last time you celebrated," Amy replied.
Kamilah was surprised that she remembered. "Thank you," she said softly. "It's lovely."
Amy smiled at her, her eyes shining far brighter than the moon ever could.
"Oh!" said Amy suddenly. "I can't forget the gift!" She jumped up, heading to one of the tables. She grabbed a package, bringing it back and handing it to Kamilah.
"Open it!" said Amy excitedly.
Kamilah opened the gift slowly, finally pulling out a clear box. "It's...a box?" she said, feigning excitement (and failing).
Amy smiled. "It's a display case made out of special material, it's basically indestructible. I thought it would be good for you to put Lysimachus's horse in."
Kamilah began to tear up, despite herself. She cleared her throat. "That's very thoughtful, Amy. Thank you."
Amy leaned into her, kissing her.
"Happy birthday, Kami," she whispered.
And for the first time in a long time, it was.

June 23-28:
Saturday night Rebecca came over and we did her makeup. She looked so CUTE. I love her. Sunday we surprised my mom, but she kinda already knew about her bday party because we all suck at hiding things. But, we had fun anyways. The food was bomb and the dessert was so good too. I ate until i went into a food coma, which I did. But before I fell asleep I played with Liz and Amy and they busted out the whole soundtrack to Alladin. My first concert: 10/10. I slept and then woke up and went home. It was just julia and I so went to our rooms and relaxed.
The rest of the week I did nothing. On Monday we had volleyball and it was okay. Not everybody was there, but we still had a good practice. The rest of the week flew by and on Thursday, oh man. Here’s how that day went: 1.) hec and I wake up and eat breakfast and do everything we normally do. Then I painted a little bit. 2.) we headed out, first on the 236. Then we hopped on the 234 to Bellevue. On the way two (as hex referred to them) skanks got on the bus. They were my age but man they were ANNOYING. They were playing loud ass rap music and talking loud in the back of the bus. Then an Asian lady got on and then went at her. 3.) when we got off at Bellevue they were being hella racist at the Asian who was trying to just catch another bus. “Those skanks finally got off”. Then hec and I waited for Julia. 4.) I paid for my bus fare in quarters. We rode the 550 all the way to Seattle and we all had a seat which was good. 5.) we walk to the lost and found place where miraculously heitors wallet was still there, with the money still inside! America is an amazing place. We head to the 550 stop and wait. 6.) the bus was so full we had to stand until the next stop that was only in Mercer island. So for like a good 15 mins we all stood up. Then when a lady got off, all three of us shared her seat. We get to Bellevue and mom buys us chic fil a. My dad and I tried to go to the bank to open an account for me but that didn’t work so we got groceries and came back. We really rode a clown car back to Bellevue. I’m never doing that again.
Friday- I finish a power puff girl painting and paint my toenails. They both turn out really good. My dad picks us up and we head to Chase. We open a bank account for me, buy some groceries, and head back out. In Bellevue we head to T-Mobile and buy mom a new phone for a bday gift. Then we head home and Julia drives. We eat yummy hot dogs for dinner. This week went by so fast.
