"Birthday Surprise"
Brittany pulled up top Vinny's and knocked on the door waiting. Vinny answered and gave Brittany a dirty look. Brittany just ignored her and opened the passenger side for Vinny to get in. After Vinny buckled up Brittany looked at her waiting for her to complain.
"Why are you here to pick me up? My baby Alvin was supposed to pick me up. I can't believe they are 18 and he is with you."
Brittany looked and held her temper as she responded.
"#1 Alvin had something to do with Theodore and Simon. #2 I am not a fan girl that just stays with Alvin because he has money and is a major rock star. I am with Alvin because I love him. Another thing Alvin is not a baby anymore he is 18 and an adult. I don't want my relationship to suffer because you can't stand me. I will never do anything to hurt Alvin. We are together for 10 years and our love continues to grow stronger. You have to start treating me better than you do. "
Vinny sighed and remained silent through the rest of the ride back home to the boys' house. Brittany pulled up to the house and saw the guests starting to arrive. To discover her best friend Miranda looked like she gained a lot of weight. She opened the passenger side for Vinny and put her alarm back on her car. Vinny entered the house and Dave greeted her.
"Hey Vinny the boys will be home soon. They went to get the tag for Theodore's new car. They have no idea that there is going to be a party. They actually thought I forgot today was their 18th birthday. Our boys are grown up now time flew by so fast. "
Brittany approached Miranda after she changed for the party with a concerned look.
"Miranda what is wrong? You gained a lot of weight. Is everything okay between you and Tyler?"
Miranda cried on Brittany.
"I am 3 months pregnant. We made a year and I decided to give myself to him. Now I am having his baby and don't know how to tell him. He is going to leave me if he finds out. Britt what am I going to do?"
Brittany saw Tyler pouring him and Miranda some punch and approached him.
"Haven't you noticed anything different about Miranda? Why don't you go talk to her Tyler? She is really upset."
Tyler approached Miranda and handed her the punch.
"Babe what is going on with you? Is there something you want to tell me that you're afraid to?"
Miranda sipped her punch and looked deep in his eyes.
"Tyler remember when we did it in your room on our year anniversary? Well I noticed a change in my body and went to the doctor to get checked. I am having your baby and was afraid to tell you."
He paused for a minute and put his hand on her stomach.
"We are going to be parents? Well we are just going to have to get ready then? I am already working and will just have to start saving money. Why were you afraid to tell me babe? Were you afraid I would leave you? I will never leave you I love you too much? Come here Miranda."
Theodore pulled up and Eleanor yelled.
"Come on you guys hide. They are here. Britt hit the lights. Tyler help Miranda and be careful. Everyone quiet."
Theodore armed his car and Alvin used his key to unlock the door. They entered and Alvin scratched his head.
"Hey where is everyone? Dad, Britt, girls?"
Dave hit the lights and they all popped out.
"Surprise boys. Happy 18th birthday."
All 3 of them smiled and hugged Vinny. Then Alvin grabbed Brittany and smiled at her.
"So that was your secret princess. Well we were sure surprised. I love you so much Britt. So glad that I have you since we were 8."
Brittany smiled and held his waist resting her head on his shoulder as a slow song came on.
"I am glad I have you too Alvie. I love you so much my #1 munkstar. Happy birthday to you."
Simon and Theodore grabbed the girls and also made their way to the dance floor during a slow song next to Alvin and Brittany. The song ended and Tyler walked by Alvin after he got his food.
"Al I am going to be a father. I am 19 and got Miranda pregnant. I should've listened to you when you told me to be careful. I just wanted our year anniversary to be special."
Alvin sighed and looked at him
"There were many ways you could've made it special without doing anything. Have you told your family yet? I am your best friend Tyler and am here for you. Now you know why I ignored you bugging me about Britt's relationship and mine. At least you have a job now so you can support Miranda and the baby. Besides I can help you also. It will be alright Tyler, stop worrying."
Tyler looked at Alvin and smiled.
"Thanks bro, glad I have a friend like you. Here comes my brother Mike, he just got off work. Let me tell him that he's going to be an uncle."
Alvin nodded and sat next to Brittany and Miranda on the couch.
"So Miranda you are going to be a mom? Just be glad you have a guy that will stand by you and not run? He is a great guy. I've known him since kindergarten."
Brittany looked at Alvin smiling.
"Alvie here is your birthday present. I hope you like it."
Alvin smiled as he opened his present and kissed her.
"Thanks princess I love it, not as much as I love you though. My life is complete because I have you my #1 Chipette."
She smiled as she put the chain on him and kissed him back.
"You're very welcome my #1 munkstar. I am glad you like it. You also complete me."
Dave and Vinny rolled out their cake and lit the 18 candles as everyone sang Happy Birthday. Britt and her sisters tapped the boys.
"Go on boys blow out the candles and make a wish. Come on everyone is waiting you 3."
Alvin, Simon, and Theodore blew out the candles and made their wish smiling at everyone. Then they cut the cake together and handed it out to everyone. The party finally ended and everyone left. Dave and Vinny cleaned everything up as the boys took the girls home in Theo's car. They walked them to the door and kissed them goodnight. Simon and Jeanette kissed a little longer because they wouldn't see each other for 2 full months. They watched as the girls entered the house and then drove back home.
Theo parked his car next to Alvin's in the driveway next to Dave's car. Simon stared at the garage and put his head down as he entered the house and went in his room. Theodore shook his head as he hung his keys on the hook and helped Dave clean the dishes. Alvin approached Vinny and looked at her.
"Mom are you finally getting along with Brittany? She is not a gold digger though she does seem that way. But she is also a rock star like me, and we make the same amount of money. Please stop judging her she is going to be my wife and your daughter-in –law. I am not a child anymore, I am 18 and you have to stop treating me like a child. I am in love with Brittany and she is in love with me. Theo can you drive mom home? I am really tired and going to bed."
Theo looked and shook his head.
"Sure Alvin, no problem. Goodnight bro."
Theo took his car keys off the hook and drove Vinny home but remained silent. He walked her to the door and hugged her goodbye then he drove back to the city shaking his head. He pulled up to the house and parked his car making sure his alarm was on and entered the house. Then he joined Dave on the couch.
"Even after we found mom 7 years ago, Alvin still has that anger toward her. I thought he was over her placing us on your doorstep when we were babies. He was so happy when we found her, but now he is fighting with her again. Why is Alvin like that dad?"
Dave looked.
"Your mom rejects Brittany and that bothers your brother. It's not that he is still mad at her for what she did to you 3 when you were babies. He wants her to understand that he loves Brittany and that she also loves him. Theodore he will be fine, stop worrying and get some sleep. You had a long day. Night Theodore see you in the morning."
Theodore hugged Dave and entered his room, got ready for bed and fell asleep instantly. Dave headed upstairs to Alvin's room and saw him awake still playing a video game.
"Alvin I thought you went to sleep? Come here son, we have to talk? I understand you got upset at your mom because she doesn't like Brittany. But you have to realize your mom knows you are no longer a baby. She knows you are going to marry Brittany son. You have to understand no mom likes to see their son grow up and start their own family. Alvin your mom loves you and your brothers very much. Give her some time to get to know Brittany. She will come around I promise. Now get some rest you had a long night."
Alvin looked and hugged Dave.
"Thank you dad. Okay I will let my mom get to know Brittany. Thank you for a great 18th birthday party also. Night dad see you in the morning."
Alvin got ready for bed and headed to bed falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
