THE LAST CHAPTER! Before the sequel, of course. I have regained the inspiration needed to continue! It might be awhile before the sequel is posted because I have 2 other stories to update (Emma and The New Governor's Daughter, just to let you know) besides this one, at least an hour of flute practice every day, and then back to school stuff.

KatelynKat: I don't want you to cry! I'm glad you like it! No, Giselle wouldn't slap him because she was too busy staring and Madeleine and talking to her. I never realized it before! I actually forgot about that scene and no, it's not the same person, sorry. I have this habit of naming inanimate objects (my phone, for example).

"Madeleine, wake up!" Jack started poking her.

"No, I'm sleeping," Madeleine put her face in the pillow.

He was getting frustrated, "You know what today is, don't you?"

"Yes, I know its October 8th, so?" She sat up.

"It's your birthday!"

"I'm turning 11 today."

"Don't you want to do something today?" Jack asked handing Jaguar to her.

"I would love to sleep, but you won't let me," Madeleine threw the blanket over her head.

"If you won't do it for me," Jack began. "Do it for kitty and your mommy?"

"Oh fine," Madeleine got up from bed. "But I need time to get dressed."

"I'll go check on breakfast," He gave his daughter a kiss on the cheek before leaving the room.

She rubbed her eyes as she walked over to her closet. Jaguar jumped on the bed as Madeleine opened the door. She was confused when she saw a red dress and a small white box, both of which she had never seen before. Madeleine picked up the box and removed the lid. Inside was a necklace made of rubies and diamonds and a note. The note said: To our dear daughter on her birthday. She smiled as she took the dress off of the hanger.

Of course, the dress had a note with it. For Maddie's birthday, Giselle. Madeleine giggled as she got dressed. This is going to be an interesting birthday.

Later that day. . .

Madeleine clapped her hands as Giselle set the cake down in front of her. It was a two tiered cake with red flowers on it and had a really big bow on top. She already started sticking her fork in it.

"Not now!" Scarlett exclaimed. "We haven't sung for you yet."

"Happy birthday to you," everyone started to sing.

Madeleine smiled remembering her last birthday. She was so hyper from all that sugar that she didn't sleep that night. Madeleine even fed Jaguar some cake so he was up all night with her, too.

"Happy birthday to Madeleine. Happy birthday to you!"

"I can eat it now!" Madeleine laughed as Jack cut the cake.

"Happy birthday, Maddie!" Jack said as he gave her a hug.

"My little girl is growing up," Scarlett started to cry.

"I remember when she was just a baby," Giselle started stroking Madeleine's hair.

She tried to breathe, "You are squishing me."

Ragetti came up to Madeleine, "Happy birthday, Maddie."

Jaguar jumped and sat on the table and started eating a piece of cake.

I hope you like the birthday chapter! Remember, the sequel will take a little while. Be on the lookout for His Little Madeleine II and follow me for new stories. As usual, I have pictures of the necklace, dress, and birthday cake on my profile! I might not be historically accurate about the cake, but I just had to (the cake was calling me) and I watch too much Cake Boss.
