Happy Birthday my Friend.

Luke and Reid were together, and they wanted to do something real special for one of their best friends Sanda. She was Reid's friend first but Luke has grown to love her. She has been there for them , and was Reid's best person when they got married. Reid loved Katie too, but Sanda was like a sister to him. He hated seeing her sad she missed her Parents, and Aunt and Uncle. Reid and Luke wanted to do something real special for Sanda, and they knew just what they had to do for her. Reid called Frank Sanda's Father, and asked him if he sent Luke's Grandmother's private jet to pick them up would they come to Luke's and Reid's cottage for a weekend of fun to celebrate Sanda's Birthday. He also asked if her Aunt, and Uncle who she worried about all the time could come for a surprise. Frank said he would talk to Carol, and his Brother, and Sister in law to see if they could travel this weekend. Reid said OK he would be waiting for his call.

Luke came out of the kitchen, and sat beside Reid, and leaned into him.

"Did you call her Parents are they coming"?

"I sure hope so Sanda needs to see them, and recently she has been home sick. I don't like being selfish but I'm so afraid she will want to move back home, and leave Oakdale. I need her here with us Luke she is part of our family now"

"Yes, and Tegan he is a character"

"I am going to call Sanda and tell her we are taking her to the cottage for the weekend. Katie, Chris, and Jacob are coming but I can't believe I'm saying this but I invited Henry Coleman"

"You invited Henry I can't believe it you will have him, and Chris all weekend"

"I know but you know Sanda is feeling lonely she doesn't say it much but she needs someone special in her life. I don't know if Henry is that special someone but Katie thinks he deserves a chance. I am so protective of her but I think maybe Henry might make her happy, and I will have a nice talk with him telling him how unhappy I will be if he hurt her"

"You will scare him but I think Henry is pretty cool but he is annoying sometimes"

"All the time" Reid smiled as Luke grabbed his cell, and told him to phone Sanda.

Reid called her , and waited for her to answer. She answered but she was out of breathe.

"Sanda are you OK"

"Yes I was cleaning while listening to music, and you know me I love to dance around"

Reid smiled, 'Like Luke you both like to dance with your IPod on"

"It is getting late is everything OK"

"Well your Birthday is this weekend we are going to Luke's family cottage, and I thought you would join us."

"Oh I can't leave Tegan"

"He can come Katie, Chris, and Jacob are coming too. I think they are bring Henry Coleman too"

"Oh Henry sweet"

"You like the guy Sanda"

"He is cute but he gets under your skin"

"Yeah he loves to do that but one weekend will be OK"

"I would love to go to the Cottage when are we leaving"

"Friday afternoon if that is OK"

"Sure I will get my stuff packed tonight"

"Sanda this is going to be a great weekend I promise"

"Thank you Reid, say goodnight to Luke for me"

"I will give my Buddy Tegan a hug from me"

"I will he is sleeping at the bottom of the stairs he is waiting for me to go to bed"

"I really think you, and Tegan should move in to our place. We have the basement all renovated it would be perfect for you both"

"Reid I don't want to impose you, and Luke need your alone time"

"Sanda you are family think about it I worry about you all the time"

"OK I will think about it, I love you Reid"

"Love you too have sweet dreams Sanda"

"You too"

Sanda hung up, and smiled as she got up, and locked up, than she ran upstairs to pack some things for her weekend trip to the cottage.

[Sanda]

Chapter 2

Sanda woke up, and smiled she sat up, and Tegan meowed, and jumped off the bed.

"Tegan I'm coming let me go to the bathroom, and than I will fed you". She went to the washroom, and had to laugh Tegan stood by the door looking at her, and he ran out as soon as she followed him downstairs. He ran over to his dish she lifted it up, and put fresh food, and water down. She grabbed a cup, and filled it with juice, and walked over to the table, and sat down thinking about the day. She better phone her parents to tell them she was going to the cottage for the weekend. She missed them like crazy, but she knew it was hard for them to travel, and they were coming for a week in the summer. She was a little hungry she got up putting some toast in, she grabbed the peanut butter, and waited for the toast to pop up. She walked over putting the peanut butter on her toast. She took a bite when her phone rang. She put the toast down, and ran over grabbing the phone.

"Hello"

"Hey Sweet Girl Happy Birthday"

"Dad it is 7am what are you doing"?

"I knew Tegan would have you up, I bet you fed him already"

"Yes you know him well"

"Your Mom is here she wants to say Happy Birthday too"

"Thanks hearing from you both makes my day but Dad, I'm going away for the weekend to Luke and Reid's cottage. I will try to call you both, but if I don't I don't want you two getting worried"

"I'm so glad you have such amazing friends, I worry about you all the time, but I know Reid, and Luke take good care of you"

"They want me to move in with them but Dad they just got together. I don't want to be a third wheel, they need their space"

"I think you should move in with them they asked they wouldn't ask if they really didn't want you"

"Daddy you just worry about me, and Tegan"

"Yes I do"

"I will think about it but you better put Mom on she is probably giving you a look right"

'Yes"

Sanda heard her Mom say, "Hey Sanda how is my Birthday Girl"

"Mom I'm not a girl but I'm feeling pretty good but I'm so glad you called, I miss you, and Dad so much"

"We would love to be with you Sunday, but you know we will be there in spirit"

"I know Mom I'm going away for the weekend. Luke and Reid invited me for the weekend. I think it will be fun, I will call you when I get back to tell you all about it"

"You better Sanda, I better get going but Happy Birthday Sweetie"

"Thanks Mom give Dad a big hug from me"

"I will"

They said their goodbyes, Sanda hung up, and had to stop herself from crying. She loved her Parents, and she knew they were hurting not being with her, but she knew it was hard. She wiped a tear from her cheek as she walked over finishing her breakfast, than she ran upstairs, and decided to shower, and finish packing while Tegan laid on the bed watching her.

[Sanda]

Chapter 3

Reid was asleep when he felt Luke move real close, and bring his lips over Reid's ear. Luke knew it drove Reid nuts, and he was trying to wake him up.

Reid pulled Luke over him as he whispered, "You are so going to to get some for being so naughty first thing in the morning"

"I'm excited about this weekend do you think Sanda's Parents , and Aunt , and Uncle will come"?

"I hope so I will call them soon, I don't want to call to early"

"I hope they come everything is going so well having them there would be perfect. I ordered the cake, and I pick it up today, I got them to put a picture of you, me, Tegan and Sanda, and Jacob on it. You know the one when we had the sleepover I love so much. I bought so much stuff snacks, and all. I have t bone steaks, chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs you name it. I want everything to be perfect for Sanda."

"It will be she will be happy just being with us"

"I want her to like me as much as she loves you"

"She does silly she loves us both"

"I think she is still mad at me for Noah, and I don't blame her"

"Well she listened to me go on , and on about you , and I guess she got a little upset"

"Reid are you tired"

"A little why"?

"Well we should get up, but we have a half an hour to spare if you want to fool around a little"

"What do you have in mind"?

Luke smiled moving his hand up his chest as he leaned his body over Reid making Reid moan out his name.

"Oh Luke you are driving me insane"

"Good because I want your undivided attention"

"You got it" Luke pulled his shirt off, and than he brought his lips over Reid's as they kiss, than Reid pushed Luke on his back as he sat up pulling his shirt off, and than his boxers. He helped Luke pull his boxers off, they smile as they held each other kissing , and caressing each other but they both soon were in a heat of passion making love like they never made love before. They were totally, and completely giving themselves to each other. They both came to their release, and collapsed in each others arms. They could barely catch their breath when the phone rang. Reid smiled as he got up still naked , and ran to grab the phone they left on the dresser the night before.

"Hello"

"Hey Reid it is Frank we didn't wake you or catch you at a bad time"

"Oh no we were just getting up we have to get ready for our weekend, but are you, and Carol coming, and what about Sanda's Aunt, and Uncle"?

"Well they are delighted you asked them, and they would love to come. Carol is all packed, and ready, and I'm really looking forward to seeing Sanda, and Tegan, and of course you, and Luke"

"Oh Sanda is going to be so surprised you have not told her"?

"No we phoned there to say Happy Birthday, and we wanted to tell her but we didn't"

"Great it will be a surprise for her it will be the most amazing birthday gift, but I have something really special for her"

"Reid I have never really said this before but Thank you for taking care of our daughter. She is so sweet, and kind, and trusting, and we are worried about her, but when she met you we knew you would be there for her. I know you asked her to move in, and I told her it would be a great idea. I know she is a lady, and I shouldn't worry so much, but I do. I would be so much more happy knowing she wasn't living alone with Tegan."

"Well we have all weekend we will work on her"

"Oh I will son"

Reid smiled, "You are like a Dad I never really got to know. My Father died when I was so young, and my Mom was never really a role Model she was never home, I was basically raised by my Grandma until I moved out on my own."

"I'm so sorry Reid"

"Oh I'm fine but to tell you the truth I worry about Sanda all the time too. I want her close so I can keep a eye on her, she would have her own space."

"Reid what time is the private plane going to pick us up at the airport"

"Well I will call you back as soon as Luke finds out."

"OK we will be ready".

Reid smiled, "It will be great seeing you again Sir"

"Call me Dad Reid if that is OK with you"

"Dad it is" Reid smiled they said goodbye, and hung up. Luke got off the bed, and pulled a blanket with him wrapping it around Reid, and himself.

"Are they coming"?

"Yes you have to find out when they will be picking them up, and Sanda's Aunt, and Uncle"

"I will call my Grandma Lucinda, and find out when the jet will be ready"

"Sanda is going to be so happy"

"Yes she is this is going to be the best Birthday ever"

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Reid and Luke are so cute and adorable together in this chapter. I love that Reid and Luke made love in this chapter before my dad called them to tell them that are coming for my birthday. I love that my dad Frank said that Reid could call him Dad. I can't wait for Sanda to hear Reid calling her dad Frank dad as well. Thank you so much for writing this awesome birthday story for me.

[melinda]

[jessie]

Chapter 4

Luke called Lucinda, and made all the arrangements, and he called Frank to give them all the details. They were going to pick up Frank, and Carol, and than go pick up Sanda's Aunt, and Uncle. Luke sat on the bed he called Sanda while Reid was in she shower.

"Hello"

"Hey Sanda it is Luke, I just wanted to make sure you were up"

"I'm up all dressed, and waiting for you guys to pick me up for our weekend"

"We will be there in a hour maybe we can stop for lunch would you like that maybe we will stop at that pizza place you, and Reid love so much"

"Don't you love it too"?

"Yes it is great but what you both like is more important"

"Don't be silly your feelings are just as important"

"It mean a lot to me Sanda that you would say that. I know you are still a little angry with me over everything that went down with Noah"

"I'm not mad I'm a little worried but I can see you made the right choice, and picked the best man"

"Yes I did he is so lucky to have you as a friend"

"I'm the lucky one but I feel I have two friends, I love you too Luke"

"Love you too Sanda we will be by your place in 1 hour, Reid just has to get dressed"

"You guys are running late"

"A little we had some things to do before leaving but everything is perfect"

"Things I know what you were doing"

Luke blushed but Sanda couldn't see it but she knew he was.

"Oh Luke don't be shy I was just joking around"

"I know but I'm so looking forward to this weekend with you, me, Reid, Katie, Chris, and Jacob it is going to be so much fun, and I want your Birthday to be perfect"

"It will be wonderful but I will miss my Parents but they called that was sweet"

Luke smiled knowing they were coming but it was a surprise so he acted sad.

"I'm sorry they couldn't come but you know they love you, and they are sending you all their love"

"I know but this is the first Birthday without them"

"I promise you we will make this a Birthday you will never forget"

Sanda smiled, "Thanks Luke you better go get ready, I'm so anxious to see you guys"

"Bye Angel"

"Angel"

"Oh sorry that is Reid's nickname for you, I just thought it would be ok for me too"

"Yes I love it"

"Really"

"Yeah Richie Rich" Sanda and Luke laugh as they said their goodbyes, and Luke jumped off the bed, and went to see if Reid was out of the shower.

"Oh man you don't knock"

"Sorry I was hoping to find you naked"

Reid smiled as he touched Luke's chin, and gave him a kiss.

"I want to get dressed, and out of here. I want to get to the cottage before her Parents, and Aunt and Uncle arrive. I want this day to be perfect, but I know it will because you are by my side helping me make this a Birthday Sanda will never forget"

"I just talked to her she is pretty amazing she actually said she forgives me, and thinks of me as one of her best friends"

"Who wouldn't love you Richie Rich"?

Luke smiled, "Oh don't be so sweet or we will never get out of here" Reid smiled as he whispered, "We have our whole lives to have our special moments, but we have to get ready, I can't wait to see Sanda's face when she sees our surprise"

"Me too" They both grabbed each other hand, and go get ready to pick up Sanda.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. I LOVED the phone conversation between Luke and Sanda in this chapter. :)I am so happy that I forgave Luke for his awful treatment of Reid while he was still seeing Noah. I love that Sanda calls Luke Richie Rich like Reid does and that Luke calls me Angel like Reid does. Reid and Luke should have made love in the shower before they went to pick up me and Tegan. ;D I can wait to read about reaction when mine and Tegan's surprise shows up at the cottage with Lucinda's help. ;D

Chapter 5

Sanda , and Tegan were ready Sanda was sitting on the couch with Tegan in her lap. She was thinking of her Parents, and all the fun she had with them on her Birthday's when she was growing up. It was days like this she felt like a little girl again. She lifted Tegan up, and gave him a big hug.

"Buddy do you miss them too" Tegan meowed she didn't know why but she always felt Tegan knew exactly how she was feeling, and he always made her feel better. She heard a car drive up the driveway she got up with Tegan in her arms, and ran over to the window. She saw Reid's car, and she smiled running to the door, and opened it waiting for them to come up to the door.

"Hey Angel"

"Reid you guys are right on time, I just have to get Tegan into his pet carrier he hates it but it is the safe thing to do"

Reid lifted Tegan into his arms, and whispered, "I will get him in he can be mad at me"

"Thank you Reid". Luke smiled as he gave her a kiss on the cheek, and he walked over to Reid to help him get Tegan in the carrier. They got him in, and Reid lifted the carrier, and talked to Tegan keeping him calm. Luke grabbed Sanda's bags, and took them out to the car putting them in the trunk. Sanda locked up everything as Reid waited for her. Sanda walked over to him, "I'm already lets go". They walked out, Reid opened the door letting Sanda in. He walked around, and put Tegan in the backseat, beside her, and told Sanda to buckle up. Sanda smiled he actually put the seat belt around Tegan to keep him safe. Reid got in the driver seat, and smiled as he started the car, and they were on the way to the cottage.

They had to stop at the Bake shop before they left first to get the cake, and some other baked goods they ordered. Katie was bringing a lot up too. Luke ran in bringing out the cake, Sanda said she could sit it between her, and Tegan it would be safe. Luke smiled but he told her not to look it was a surprise. Sanda said she wouldn't look but it took a lot not to. She was really excited she was talking none stop making Reid smile. Luke and Sanda were the same they talked none stop when they were excited or happy or even sad. Reid was the opposite he was not really a talker but he loved listening to Sanda, and Reid go on about many things that they shared interests to. Reid found out Luke liked Young, and the Restless which kind of shocked him he never knew Luke liked Soap Operas. Luke put the music on, and Sanda and Luke were singing along to a song Reid never heard before but he enjoyed the beat. He knew Tegan was not a fan of loud music so Reid kept it low but he laughed when Luke was screwing up the words to the song. Sanda would laugh correcting him.
It was one hour they would be on the road another hour or so. Reid asked them if they wanted to stop for lunch at the pizza place. Sanda said she was starving so they decided to stop. Katie and Chris, and Jacob would not be there until tonight for dinner. Sanda's parents should be there around 7 so stopping for lunch was a good thing.

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Reid, Luke, Sanda, and Tegan are so cute and adorable together. I LOVE that Luke and Sanda were talking non stop around Reid while they were driving to the cottage. I also love that they were stopping off at a pizza parlor for lunch. I am starving for pizza right now girl.

[melinda]

this is turning out quite nicely, cant wait for more

[jessie]

Chapter 6

Reid parked in front of the pizza place, but he turned, and said, "We have to grab take out, I will not leave Tegan alone in the car, I hate people who leave pets in cars while it is hot out"

"We can find a park or some place where we can stop, and Tegan can get some air too"

"We can't let him out of the cage he may run off"

Sanda smiled as she reached over holding Reid's hand saying thanks. She knew Reid and Luke cared about Tegan too. It meant the world to her because Tegan was like her child. Reid got out leaving Luke and Sanda with Tegan.

"I'm sorry we can't go in Luke but Reid is right we can't leave Tegan alone in the car"

"I know it might be fun stopping at a park so we can stretch our legs"

Sanda smiled, "You and Reid are amazing Luke, I miss my Parents so much, and spending time with you both means the world to me"

"Well you will have Chris, Katie, Jacob , and of course Henry".

"I love you all this is going to be a special birthday"

Luke smiled, "Yes it will I promise"

They talked some more than they noticed Reid coming out with a pizza box, and another bag. He got in the car, and handed the stuff to Luke.

"Oh it smells so good"

"Pepperoni, onions, green olives, and mushrooms"

Luke smiled, "All your favourites, I hope you got Garlic Bread"?

"Yes with Cheese I know you, and Sanda love it. I got some colas, and a bottle water for Tegan he needs some fresh water."

"You take such good care of us" Luke said making Reid move close as they kiss. Sanda smiled as she couldn't help but watch them. She was so happy they were finally together, and so happy.

Reid started the car, and was driving until they found a park. He parked, and the three of them got out. Reid grabbed Tegan, while Luke carried the food with Sanda's help. Sanda grabbed a blanket from the back seat. They found a lovely spot under a tree. They sat down while Reid put Tegan's cage down. Reid sat down, and they got Tegan some food first from Sanda's bag, and put some water in a bowl, and opened his cage but he was not impressed when they would not let him out. They remembered a day they let him out, and he ran off, and they were scared to death. He was safe but it was 20 minutes later after chasing him frantically to catch him. They couldn't take their chance of that happening again.

They all took a slice of pizza, and were eating, and talking, and just enjoying the fresh air. The day was beautiful. Reid touched Sanda's chin, and asked her if she was ok?

"Yes I'm just happy, these are happy tears".

Reid and Luke smiled as they hand her a piece of garlic bread as she whispered.

"I love you guys"

"We love you too Angel"

[Sanda]

Cute update Jessie. Sanda, Tegan, Reid, and Luke are so cute and adorable together in this chapter. I love that Sanda, Tegan, Reid, and Luke stopped off at a park and that Sanda, Reid, and Luke ate pizza, garlic bread sticks, and that they drank soda while Tegan ate his cat food and drank his fresh bottle of water that Reid got him at the pizza parlor. I love how Reid takes such good care of me, Tegan, and Luke in this story. Sanda, Tegan, and Luke are so lucky to have Reid in their lives taking care of them. I hope you update this awesome story again really soon.
