Story: Fated for Her

“W-what j-just h-happened!” I said, stuttering in shock.

“Oh, I’m sorry. We can talk through our link. We can mind link because I marked you.
She looked a little confused, but after I explained it, she seemed fine. Today was my angel’s birthday.
“Happy Birthday!””Yell Liana ran into our room with my mom behind her. Liana jumped on the bed and into Sienna’s arms.
“Thank you,” she said back with a smile. My mom had a tray of waffles with strawberries and whipped cream on top in her hand.
My mom’s eyes went straight to Sienna’s neck, where my mark was clearly visible. It was beautiful; my mark had turned into a crescent moon, and at the edge of the moon was our names connected by an infinity sign. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw it.
I told Sienna to put on her bathing suit and an outfit over it after breakfast. I told Liana the same thing, and she waited for Sienna to help her get dressed. My love and our baby say I have no style.
I wasn’t going to school today because it was Sienna’s birthday. Instead, I was flying the girls to Michigan to spend a couple of days at the beach. I called the company’s captain a couple of days ago to tell him our plans and set up the date. My mom packed a suitcase for Sienna and a duffle bag for Liana. I packed my own bag while Sienna was at work so it would be a surprise. Sienna has moved from Kentucky to North Carolina, and from what I’ve heard, she’s never been to the beach. Liana has nev

I don’t know why Zayn is so happy that I can’t swim. I took a shower before I got dressed, making sure to shave. After I got out of the shower, I washed my hair and body and put my hair up in a towel to dry while I brushed my teeth. I didn’t expect to see my mark, but when I did, it was beautiful. I started to cry when I saw our names on it. After my little happy tears, I put my hair up in French braids that ended at the base of my head and let my hair flow down my back. My mark was visible for all to see.
I went into the closet and looked through my bathing suits. I found a cute blue one with a yellow rose floral pattern and high-waisted shorts that showed a little bit of my b**t. I’m guessing Zayn wouldn’t want other people to see me in it.
It took me a while to find a cute outfit to wear over my suit. I wore a whiteish dress with teal sandals and a cute little purse. The dress was a little short, but I wouldn’t be wearing it for long if we were going to the pool.
I picked up Liana and put her on my hip after I was done. I left the room before Zayn could say anything about my dress.
Liana talked about how she and Grandma made breakfast while we walked into her room and over to her closet. I listened to every word she said as we picked out her outfit. We chose floral shorts and a shirt set with a matching headband. After we put her in the bath and cleaned her up, we brushed her hair and braided it into her hair.
 
We put her bathing suit on her, which was a pink bikini with a shiny gold unicorn pattern on it.
We walked down the hall to my room after we were done. When I got there, Zayn was sitting on the couch by the window in a pair of swim trunks and a fitted T-shirt that showed off his muscles. He smiled at both of us and put down his phone. He came up to me, kissed me on the cheek, picked up Liana, and whispered in her ear, which made her laugh.
“What are you all talking about?””I say with a smirk on my face, and this made Liana laugh even more.
Zayn put her down, and she ran out of our room and back with a small box wrapped in birthday paper with a bow on top and a card. I thanked her and opened the card.
It was so cute and made by hand. There was a stick figure drawing of our small family on the front, and above it was “Happy Birthday” in Zayn’s handwriting. When I opened it, I saw another picture that Liana had drawn of her and me with a bunch of balloons. It was signed by Liana and her messy but perfect handwriting.
I bent down to give her a big hug and told her how much I loved the card. Then I opened the box. Inside was a brand new phone. My old phone didn’t really work, and I guess Zayn noticed that it was the latest iPhone. It came with AirPods and a portable charger that was pink. In fact, everything was in light pink cases with sparkles. No doubt my little girl picked it out herself.
“Thanks.” “I love the pink and glitter,” I said as I pulled on Zayn’s shirt so he could kiss me. Then I turned and kissed Liana on the cheek.

I had to buy her a phone with a tracking device inside. I whispered in Sienna’s ear that it was just for protection because of the rogues.
We went outside to the Jeep. I put Liana in the back seat and opened the passenger door for Sienna. Then I got in the driver’s seat and we drove to the airport. Sienna’s music, which was the Beatles and the Beach Boys, played.
I set the alarm for five this morning so we could leave by 6:30. I was pleasantly surprised that we left by 6:40. My girls are good at not taking forever to get dressed. Our flight will be long, and we should get to our destination in about six hours, which means we should be able to spend the rest of the day at the beach relaxing.
Sienna’s eyes lit up when we got to the airport. She jumped out of the car and ran around to Liana, who was still in the car seat, and lifted her out. She put her on her feet. Liana is so small that she still mostly uses a pram because she gets tired so easily.
I opened the trunk, took out our bags and set down her pram. After we buckled her in, Sienna pushed Liana through the airport while I grabbed the bags.
We are very young to be parents, so most older women who saw us gave us dirty looks because we had a child. Most of these looks were directed at Sienna, who didn’t notice them because she was focused on our little girl.
We got to the scanning station, and they checked the stroller and lifted Liana into Sienna’s arms. They both walked through the detector, and after I did, we put our shoes back on, grabbed our bags and headed to our plane. Since it was a private plane, we had to go to the FBO terminal. When we got there, we gave them our names and information, and they let us board the plane.
