Mafalda didn't care that she was still upset about what had happened and that her and Tobias fought every time they spoke, she just wanted to spend his birthday with him. Even through all of what had happened, he was her husband and she had every intention of spending his birthday with him. At first she had planned on doing something really special and something for the two of them to do alone. However nothing came to mind. Or at least nothing that he would like came to mind. After thinking it through, Mal ended up asking Estella to watch Caleigh while she put together what she thought would be a fine gift for her husband.

She had spent the day out of the house, like she did most days anymore. Even as a pregnant woman who had no job and not many friends to occupy her time with, Mafalda couldn't stay cooped up in their home anymore. She felt as if she were suffocating in there, so the only choices she had were the parks or to get a job. She definitely still had not gone looking for a job.

Coming in the door with a brown paper bag and a decent sized gift box, Mafalda closed the door shut with her foot and looked at the clock. He had to be around, and probably sitting in the living room listening to the wireless. She set the bag down and pulled out a beer for him while keeping the other bag in her hand.

"Tobe?" she called, moving through the house and peaking her head into the living room, only to see him there. "Hey," she said warmly, stepping in there with a sheepish smile on his face. Even after it happened, she just wanted him to have a good night. Moving in, she sat down next to him, leaning in to kiss his cheek gently. "Happy birthday," Mafalda whispered, handing him the cold beer.
