Brenda waited patiently for Kelly and Andrea. She looked at the clock. They were late. She had organized a party for Dylan's birthday. She had done everything not to be discovered but pregnant in the eighth month it became difficult even to move.
"Finally..." Brenda was relieved when she saw them enter the driveway, where were you?"
"I was late for work," Kelly justified herself, "because I had to go and take the children to your mother so they came all together later in Malibu, in short, a mess," Kelly replied.
Andrea limited herself to a "I'm sorry..." whispered and smiling.
"Well, let's go, we need to get out of here before Dylan comes back from the beach. He said no parties, no gifts and what do Blanca and I do? Both." Brenda laughed.
"Aunt Kelly, Aunt Andrea!" Blanca ran down towards them hugging them.
"Hi Miss Wonder" they replied by matching the tight hug.
All four of them slipped into Andrea's car chatting in the short journey.
"So Kel, how's Brandon in the new position?" Brenda asked to know that her brother had just been promoted and fearing that the matter would create cracks in the relationship with Kelly.
"You know Brandon. The promotion was just unexpected. He thought they had called him to fire him. That morning he was terribly nervous. And instead.. there it is. We can face it, the presence of your parents helps a lot, they have relieved me of several organizational difficulties."
"I'm happy" Brenda gave her an honest and relieved smile.
"But..." Kelly laughed "I'm more interested in how the relationship with the doctor of a certain young lady I know is going," she said looking at Andrea.
"yeah... it's great " She replied "and that's all I'll say in Blanca's presence," Andrea replied.
The little girl felt involved and smiled "can we say the gift we will give dad?" She asked.
"Oh yes, you can say that," Kelly suggested.
"No it's a surprise," Brenda said to her with a wink.
"I read on Vanity fair that your show has big ratings," Andrea said.
"Teens love it. And they've already asked me about the second season I'm writing with Dylan. He is more practical. I'm more romantic."
They arrived at the villa of Malibu after a while.
They were all already there, everyone except Brandon and Dylan.
Maddy, Blanca and Sammy hugged each other tightly and began to walk around the house and the beach as Hannah and James stayed away from her mother's strange friends pretending to keep an eye on the little ones.
Brandon arrived shortly after. He kissed deeply Kelly to say hi "hello beautiful girl" and then took Grace with him.
"Okay," said Brenda, "it's time to show you the surprise.
Brenda took everyone to the garage and got help from her father to open it.
"Oh my God." Steve whispered and walked Dylan black Porsche from 1961 was back.
"God is jt the same?"
"Yeah... it is... I recovered it from a collector, it's Dylan's first car, arranged and polished, his porsche, the one who saw our whole story, I brought it back"
"Dylan will love it," Brandon confirmed "It's amazing that you managed to bring it back"
The lights went out as soon as Dylan's car was spotted down the road.
Dylan walked in by calling the names of Blanca and Brenda out loud. They should have been there already.
"Surprise!!" They all came out.
Dylan stood with his surfboard and dripping hair.
"Guys..." he smiled too.
"I'm going to change then," he laughed.
The dinner was fun. Full of memories and new things to tell. Everyone seemed comfortable.
Donna and David too. She could avoid any tension. She shared with him progress.
David was surprised to observe her, he was surprised to ask himself questions that he had lost up to that moment.
After dinner Dylan started opening his gifts. Blanca handed him the package.
He opened the wishing card.
"For new memories, with love, Bren and Blanca."
Dylan looked at her with a smile before opening the box.
"A key? Bren what did you do?"
"I think we should go out and see," Brenda said.
Dylan followed her and saw his black Porsche...
"Is this mine?"
"yeah.. it is. It's really her"
Dylan was confused and excited as a childx
"We absolutely have to drive her today," steve announced.
Dylan nodded then approached Brenda to himself and kissed her "Thank you, I love you."
"I know." Brenda said with a smile.
"So bro, are you taking us for a ride or what?" Brandon raised his eyebrows.
Dylan looked at Brenda with a childish smile: "let's go.. happy birthday love."
Brandon, Dylan, Steve and David all got in the car, they looked like kids.
"God, This car has remained the same, I haven't seen it in 10 years."
They went... Maybe a little highway. Maybe a few curves of the hills.
Jim and Cindy said goodbye, they were no longer old enough to be late and the afternoon with their grandchildren took away all their energy
Valerie also chose to finish that evening there, she was uncomfortable with the idea of being alone with the girls and actually felt uncomfortable with Donna's presence.
"I'm tired and I think I'm going to leave. Thank you for the party."
she kissed Brenda and greeted with her hand getting into the car..
"Valerie.." whispered Kelly amused as she walked away.
Brenda looked at her "we can't change her" she laughed.
The girls and children went back.
" She's the one who suggested me to m have courage and ask Brandon to marry me, and I didn't thank her" Kelly told.
Brenda watched Valerie's car go away.
"Take the time to do it" whispered to Kelly.
The girls went back to home.
"Honestly I think I'm going to call someone to clean this slaughterhouse," Brenda decided, "we can enjoy the evening a little more."
"Good decision," Kelly replied by pouring some wine.
Brenda went to sit on the couch "feet are killing me" when she was sitting she touched her belly with a grimace of pain.
"Brenda?" Andrea called her several times.
"I'm fine Andrea, maybe I'm just tired" then she rolled her eyes and touched her belly again.
Brenda moaned as she bent slightly.
"I think we have to go to the hospital," Andrea said, looking Brenda straight in the eye.
"Something is wrong.. it's too early" Brenda was scared shaking her head.
"Andrea, something is wrong."
"Come on Bren, let's go, Kelly can call Dylan." Andrea put Brenda's arm around her neck and they began to gain the exit under the worried eyes of the other girls.
Kelly picked up the home phone to call Dylan. The phone immediately rang on the coffee table at the entrance under Kelly's disbelief eyes "damn." Kelly tried Brandon, but his phone wasn't available.
"damn" Kelly said nervously.
"Kelly," Clare said out loud, "Steve's is not available."
"Clare, Donna, you are waiting here with the children, at least when they come back or call back tell them what happened and to come to the Hospital."
Kelly grabbed Brandon's car keys and ran out of the house to reach for Brenda and Andrea.
