    Summary

    Gabrielle shifted onto her side, stilling Xena’s hand. “I don’t need you to write me a poem,” she said quietly. “There’s poetry in the way you kiss me sometimes.”
    ----
    In spite of everything, Xena can’t let Gabrielle’s birthday slide by unnoticed. She’s trying to make it perfect, Gabrielle’s trying not to have expectations…they arrive somewhere in between.

    Set between s05e11: Punch Lines and s05e12: God Fearing Child. A single chapter for a single day: a moment of breathing space before the birth of Xena’s baby.

    This can be read as part of the Delicate Fire series but it can also stand on its own.
