บท 8: The Birthday part 2
My eyes slowly open, to find Alec looking down on me. His eyes open in excitement.
"Mommy! You're awake!" He yells. He starts jumping up and down.
"Be careful, Alec." I hear Liam caution him. Alec starts sprinting to the side. I turn to see Liam and Alec play fighting. Alec notices me looking.
"Mommy! Papa said it's bath time!" He yells. I get up and stretch. Alec imitates me. I walk into the bathroom and get the water going. I make sure it's not too hot, but also not cold. "Bath time! Bath time! Bath time!" I hear Alec chanting from our room. He comes running in.
"Can I get in yet?" Alec asks.
"No, you still have your clothes on!" I tell him. He attempts to take off his clothes but struggles with it. I help him, and Liam comes in with a shirt to put him in when we're done. I help him into the tub, and scrub him down.
"Rubber duckies go quack! Puppies go woof! Kitties go meow!" Alec starts singing. He splashes in the water. "Mommy, what do turtles sound like?" He asks. I think for a bit.
"I'm not sure..." I answer. I shampoo his hair, and he giggles.
"What do cows say?" He asks.
"Mooo!" I say, as I wash the shampoo out of his hair. He giggles again.
"Silly mommy! Cows can't talk!" He says. I smile. Liam joins in the conversation.
"How do you know? Have you ever met one?" Liam asks.
"No...have you, papa?" Alec asks.
"Nope! But that doesn't rule out the possibility of cows talking!" Liam tells him.
"Really?!"Alec asks.
"Sure! If you believe!" I join in.
"I believe! I believe!" Alec squirms around, and I dump a bit more water on him before we get him out. Liam wraps him in a big fluffy towel, and I get the shirt Liam was going to let him use. I put the shirt on him, and it's way too big on him. We hear a knock on the door.
"You can come in cat boy!" Liam yells over his shoulder. I hear Xander open the door, and walk into the bathroom.
"I have the diapers you requested." Xander says. I turn and take then from him.
"Thanks!" I say. There's something different about him, but what?
"So this is the kid, huh? I thought you were joking at first, but apparently not.." Xander says. I realize that for the first time, Xander doesn't have Eden on his head.
"Why would I joke about that?" Liam asks, as I put the diaper on Alec. Alec runs back into the bedroom.
"Because it sounds like something you'd do.." Xander replies, picking up Xander's clothes to get them washed. I walk into the bedroom.
"No!" Liam argues. Alec is trying to climb onto the bed, but can't pull himself up. I lift him onto the bed, and see Eden is laying belly up.
"Yeah, you would!" Xander argues back.
"Ohh! Kitty!" Alec yells, running straight for the black cat.
"Alec, be careful not to scare her!" I tell him. He turns to me with a confused expression.
"I'm scaring her?" Alec asks.
"No. But if you go too quickly she'll be afraid of you." Liam joins in. I didn't even notice Xander leave the room.
"Oh, I'm sorry kitty!" Alec goes up to Eden and starts petting her. She purrs loudly.
"Why is she making that noise?" Alec asks.
"Because she likes it when you pet her." I tell him.
"But, I thought kitties go meow!" Alec points out. I smile.
"They do, but they also purr." Liam explains.
"So they have two noises?!" Alec looks amazed. Liam and I nod our heads. We hear a knock on the door.
"You can come in!" I yell to them. Lilly opens the door. She runs up to Alec, and picks him up.
"You're so adorable!" Lilly squeezes Alec in excitement.
"Put me down!" Alec whines, as he squirms around in her arms.
"Oh! Sorry!" Lilly puts Alec back on the bed. Alec's big smile apears again. He looks so happy. "Oh, Onii-Chan! I almost forgot, it's almost ready" Lilly tells Liam. Liam smiles.
"Great!" Liam responds. Lilly leaves, and Liam lays down on the bed, next to Alec.
"What's almost ready?" Alec asks, before I could.
"Nothing!" Liam smiles at Alec. Liam sits up, and picks Alec up. Liam stands up and grabs my hand, lead me out the door. We arrive in the garden.
My face turns to pure shock. It's night, and there is a candle lit path leading to a big willow tree. I smile big. Liam leads me to the willow tree.
The willow tree is lit up by lanterns, hanging from the tree's branches. Everyone is here, smiling at me.
"Surprise! Happy Birthday!" They all yell. I turn to look at Liam, and he's smiling down on me. My eyes start to tear up, and I hug him.
"Thank you.." I whisper to him. "Thank you, all of you!" I shout to the group under the tree.
I feel Alec tap my shoulder, and I turn to look at him. He looks worried.
"Why are you crying mommy?" Alec asks. I smile.
"Because I'm so happy.." I tell him. He smiles big. Annabelle comes running up to us, and grabs my hand. She pulls me over to the big group.
"Happy Birthday!" Annabelle says. She looks so happy, and she really is a very bright person.
"Thank you!" I thank. She hugs me, and whispers in my ear.
"Who's that little adorable child?" Annabelle asks me, and we pull out of the hug. Her eyes are all starry. I'm going to guess, she likes children.
"We found him in the woods, he was attacked by a bear." I explain to her. Her face suddenly changed to anger.
"Where is this bear? I'd like to give it a piece of my mind! Attacking an innocent, little child like that!" She yells, as her voice goes somewhat demonic like. Okay, I'm officially scared of my soon to be sister...
Zack hears her, and comes rushing over. He tries calming her down, but she is really triggered. When she finally stops yelling, she starts crying.
"But the innocent little child! He doesn't deserve to be attacked by a bear!" She's having a melt down. Zack hugs her, and she eventually calms down completely. I sigh in relief.
"It's alright, the kid's fine. He isn't hurt, and he would be very happy to meet you." Zack soothes her. They walk over to Liam and Alec.
"Happy Birthday, Violet!" I hear from behind me. I turn to see Loretta and a man with black eyes. The man has short curly black hair.
"Thank you!" I smile.
"I don't believe we've met...I'm Jackson." The man introduces himself.
"Hello Jackson, I'm Violet.." I greet him.
"Happy birthday, miss Violet.." he bows. I feel awkward now...this is weird, why is he so formal?
"Um..thanks. But you can call me Violet, and you can stop bowing too." I tell him. He stops bowing, and kisses my hand. He winks at me, and I suddenly feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Well, I should be going...I should go greet others...bye! Pleasure meeting you...Jackson." I almost forgot his name, because of how uncomfortable I feel. He smiles at me.
"The pleasure is all mine..." he winks again, and I feel even more uncomfortable. I quickly leave, and walk over to Xander and Autumn.
"Happy birthday!" Autumn says in an excited tone. I hug her.
"Thank you!" I smile. We pull out of the hug. Xander smiles at me. Eden isn't on his head, I actually saw her with Lilly.
"Happy birthday.." Xander says, while wrapping his arm around Autumn tightly. Autumn squeals with happiness.
"Thanks...I'm going to guess, you guys are official now?" I ask. Xander nods his head. Autumn passed out already, from how happy she is to be hugged by Xander. I giggle. "You guys are cute together." I tell him. I wave to him, as I leave to the next person.
Someone taps me on the shoulder, and I turn to see a dark green haired woman and a black haired man. The woman is small, piete looking, and has an eye patch over one of her eyes. The eye that isn't covered, is a dark green. The man seems to be muscularly built well, and has dark blue eyes. His eyes are like snakes, he doesn't look very trust worthy.
"Hello..my name is Alexandra, and this is Arthur. We haven't met yet, but I wanted to wish you a happy birthday." The piete girl introduces them. I smile.
"Thank you, I'm-" I get cut off by Arthur.
"Violet, yes we know." Arthur finishes for me. He gives me a tight smile. "I can see the future, I'm also the wizard of this castle." He answers the question I was about to ask.
"Um..okay.." I'm speechless. How do you respond to that? "If you don't mind me asking Alexandra, but what do you do?" I ask.
"Oh! I'm the head knight!" She smiles. "And Arthur told me, that we will be hanging out a lot more. I will soon be your personal knight, so you can call me Alex." I smile.
"Alright!" I respond. They're odd, but I like them. I get distracted by Jackson, behind Alex. He winks at me. The uncomfortable feeling is back.
"Don't worry about him, he's just a flirt. He does that with every girl he sees. More often than not, he ends up making them uncomfortable, like how you're feeling." Arthur reassures me.
"T-thanks.." that actually made me feel a bit better, to know that I'm not the only one that is treated this way by him.
"You should go see Lindsey, she's itching to see you.." Arthur tells me.
"Oh, okay...bye!" I wave to them and make my way over to Lindsey. Her eyes are bugging out, and she's smiling huge.
"Hey!" I smile.
"Hey! Happy birthday!" She hugs me. We break the hug, and she looks like she's itching to tell me something.
"Thanks. Are you alright?" I ask. She looks at me with pure happiness.
"Yes! I'm more than alright! I just found out something, but you have to keep it a secret..not even Liam can know!" Lindsey's voice goes from yelling to a whisper.
"What is it?" I ask. She leans in to whisper it in my ear.
"I'm pregnant.." she whispers to me. My eyes widen, and I smile.
"Really? Are you dating someone?" I ask. She shakes her head.
"No, I'm married." She points to a man near where Liam is sitting. He has pastel blonde hair, and orange eyes. "His name is Shawn." She looks at him lovingly.
"Well, I'm happy for you two..you will make a wonderful mother." I tell her. She looks at me with tears in her eyes.
"Thank you! You're the best! Maybe I should trade Liam out for you to be my best friend!" Lindsey suggest. I laugh. "Letting me be the last to know everything! I mean the nerve of the guy! I didn't even hear about him giving you his mother's ring!" She pouts.
"Well, you'll be happy to know that we didn't really tell anyone. They just noticed on their own." I tell her. She smiles.
"That does make me feel better..." she nods her head.
Lindsey and I talk for most of the evening, and I learn a lot about her. Bella and Linsey are sisters, for example.
The party ends an hour later. I'm tired, and I had a nap earlier. I find Liam, holding a sleeping Alec, sitting against the willow tree. Lilly is sitting with them. I walk over to them and sit on the other side of Lilly.
"Hey.." I greet them.
"Hello" Lilly whispers. She leans her head on me, and yawns.
"Is someone tired?" I ask her, but she's already asleep. I smile. Liam puts his arm around us.
"You enjoy your party?" Liam asks. I look up at him.
"Yeah, it was nice. How long did he last?" I ask, referring to Alec. He thinks for a moment.
"About a half hour ago, he passed out. Annabelle seems to love him. Though she's always loved children. She's like you, and falls victim to their adorable faces." He smirks. I roll my eyes.
"I don't always have a hard time saying no to them.." I tell him.
"Well, anyway...I think we should get these two to bed, they seem to be tired." He says, his smirk still on his face. I nod my head, and take Alec in my arms, while Liam carries Lilly. We drop off Lilly first, then go to our room.
I see the bed and I want to collapse onto it.
"Is Alec sleeping with us?" I ask. Liam nods his head. I put Alec onto the bed, and tuck him in. I change in a night shirt and shorts, and Liam also changes into pajamas. We get into bed, with Alec in between us.
"Good night.." Liam says, as he lifts himself over Alec, to kiss my forehead. I smile.
"Goodnight" I respond. Today has been nice. I'm very happy. It's safe to say that today was the best birthday, I've ever had.
