Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Emeline says sorry she didn't wait.

s'ok. I'm sure you feel otherwise.

Aimée, was there a birthday party already t /pictures-greedy

It's funny. My best friend's son, who was born a day before Emeline, still isn't one year old, because they're celebrating according the the Jewish calendar. His birthday will only be in a couple of weeks. [Edit: the former Jewish year had 13 months, in order to synchronize the Jewish calendar with the 'sun' year, which is why the birth dates are so far apart.]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My best friend had her first child the day after my birthday. She assures me she should get partial credit for going into labour on my birthday, but I told her to give it another go. I mean, the kid could have been my favourite forever, you know?

had her first child the day after my birthday

I would rather keep my birthday all to myself, mine, my own, my precious, than share it with kids who are undoubtedly going to be more adorable, charming and less-gift-aware than me. I'm not good at competitions, especially ones I'm going to totally lose.

[Edit: yay, pictures! Off to look]

I adore Nilly.

My family made m share my birthday with my cousin once. After the godawful fit I threw over having to share - even if it was just a cake and a song - they never made that mistake again.

I was 16.

Hmm... so do people end up with two ages after a while?

You don't have to be a TOTAL diva to not want to share your sweet sixteen.

Aimée, she's so adorable! What expressive face, and that smile! And I can almost imagine how she's going to look like in a few years, when she's actually a child, not a baby anymore. And she's adorable in my imagination, as well.

so do people end up with two ages after a while?

They choose when to celebrate their birthday, general or Jewish date. There's usually at least a few days' difference. A friend of mine says that we should celebrate all throughout the period between the two dates.
