Urfffff.

There was something seriously heavy on me.

Giving my brain a few seconds to wake up, I managed to work out what was happening.

Squinting I glanced at my clock. 5am. Great.

Somehow he sensed that I was awake, and he threw his arms around me. "Mooooooooom" He screeched excitedly. I hugged him to me, then stood up. "Excuse me, but I need to find a my son. He's turning five today." I grinned.

He squirmed, laughing. "Moooooom." He giggled.

"Okay,okay." I kissed the top of his head. "Happy Birthday, Percy." Feeling slightly emotional, I squeezed him again. "My little boy, already five-years old." He squirmed from my grasp.

"I'm not little Mom." His eyes shone,fiercely. "I'm big, big, big" With each word he flung his arms out wider.

Getting a hold of my sappy Mom side, I replied "Wow! You're so huge we'll have to buy a new house, just so we can fit you in the door. And a boy as big as you, definitely doesn't need birthday cake."

His face was priceless. His jaw dropped and his eyes looked like they may just roll right out of his head. "N-n-n-o... cake?" He muttered, terrified.

"We-e-ell..." feinting thoughtfulness I struggled to keep my smile under control. Even Percy knew I was a horrible actress. "Maybe I could make a cake while you open your presents..."

At the word presents Percy had gone, racing off yelling something crazy. I sighed. I hoped he wouldn't be disappointed. There wasn't much, but I'd done my best. For a moment, I felt desperately lonely. If only Percy's father could be-

Percy came racing back in, tearing my thoughts. "Moooooooooom! You got me a hotwheels track! It's awesome! Quick Mom, I want to see my other presents!"

"Okay" I laughed "I'm coming"

Woah Sally, I thought to myself. Sappy Mom side is coming out a bit today. He's only five. He'll have plenty more birthdays before you have to send him away.

Entering the living room, I laughed. Percy was sitting in a pile of wrapping paper, looking like the king of the world.

But, no time to get my sleeves up, I grinned.

I had a blue cake to make.
