"My birthday's tomorrow!" she shouted as she paraded around the house in her
"birthday crown" and tutu. "I know baby," I replied, kissing her on the forehead. "Waffles?" she asked as she glanced into the toaster oven.
"Good morning all," he sang as he came into the kitchen. She slapped him
high five as she bit into her waffle. He moved over to kiss me. "You know, I
got a very special present for a very special girl whose birthday happens to
be tomorrow," he whispered.
"Really?" she asked.
"Mmm hmmm."
"What?" she asked.
"Follow me," he whispered. She slipped on her shoes and followed him out.
"You too," he said, handing me my sweater. "Where are we going?" I asked.
"You'll see."
The three of us got into his jeep where he handed us each a bandana. "Blind fold," he sang.
"My, aren't we chipper this morning"
"It's only fun that way," I grumbled as I put on my blindfold. "John, come
on, you have to tell me," I whispered.
"Well if you must know," he answered, handing me an envelope. I opened
it to find three tickets. Plane tickets. I studied them and finally came
across
our destination: New York City. "J.. John" I stuttered. "Yes?" he asked, turning on the radio.
"Why?" I asked. He thought about the question before turning to me. "Because," he began, "She's never been to the Toy's R Us in Times
Square." He continued on about how large the store was and how much she would
enjoy
it. "But.." I continued. "No buts, just fun, pure fun." This was going to be
interesting.
"Are we going to see the ball drop?" I asked.
"You wanna?"
"Yeah."
"Then we'll do it."
"Define do it," I giggled.
He slapped me, "Abby, you have a minor in the car."
"It's your car, not mine," I mumbled. The two of us laughed the rest of the
way to the airport.

"This birthday sure involves a lot of walking," she whined.
"Oh really? You can stay here if you want," I offered.
"No thank you, but my feet hurt!" In a swift movement he lifted her from the
ground and placed her on his shoulders. "How's the view?" he asked. "I
love it," she shouted to him. Taking one hand off her foot he gave it to me.
I gladly took it as we completed our short walk. "Here it is," he
announced,
as we looked up at the toy store. "It has a Ferris wheel," he put in.
"Really?" she asked. "Inside?"
"Ready to go in?" he asked. "Yeah!" she shouted as we entered the store.
Instantly her jaw dropped. "This is the biggest toy store I've ever seen,"
she mumbled. He placed her on the ground and whispered "You can have anything you want."
She looked at him in disbelief. He nodded at her. "Anything," he
repeated. "Do they have Barbie's?" she asked. He nodded. "Right this way your highness." She giggled as we started up the steps. "I've never seen so
many Barbie's," she confessed. "Pick the top five and their yours."
"Five?" she asked?
"Yup, but make it quick. We've got places to go and sights to see"
"Yes Sir!" she replied, giggling. Five minutes later, she was done, except instead of five, it was ten. "Molly, five" I told her. "It's okay," he
said, "Ten it is" He paid for the dolls and we left the store. "Who's up for
lunch?"
"Me" she squealed from her perch a top his shoulders.
"There's a great pizza place a couple blocks down," he informed us.
"How do you know so much about the Big Apple?" I asked.
"My parents used to take us here, every New Years. Barbara, Bobby, and
me."
"Sounds fun," I replied.
"It was, but I like it better this time."
"Why's that?" I asked.
"You're here" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all sat in Times Square five minutes to twelve. Molly had fallen asleep
after the Broadway show and was now asleep in his arms. "John?"
"Yeah?"
"I wanted to thank you"
"It was nothing."
"But it was"
"Well then, you're welcome."
"I have something for you."
"What?" he asked.
I dug into my pocket and placed the small object in his hand.
"Happy New Years John." He turned it over in his hand. Not only did he now
have the key to my house, but he had the key to my heart. He stared at me
for a moment before drawing me into a passionate kiss.
"Happy New Years Abby"
