Summary: Catherine gets the best birthday surprise.
A/N: Thank you for all of the reviews! They really do help me write more. :) I know that this story might be 'out of character' but that's just how I want it to be. D Well here's the next chapter.
"Don't you have school or something today?" Catherine asked as she walked into the kitchen.
Lindsey was sitting at the table Seventeen magazine and a bowl of cereal in front of her. She looked up at her mother who was wearing a baby blue jump suit and hair pulled back in a ponytail, and gold hoops, which she recognized.
"Aren't those my earrings?" Lindsey said after swallowing a spoonful of Honey Nut Cheerios.
"I asked first." Catherine said getting a glass of orange juice.
"No school today." She said flipping a page in her magazine.
"Yea, there yours."
"Oh, they look good."
"Mmmhmm" Catherine said taking a sip of her orange juice.
"Gil get to Cali yet?"
"I'm not sure if he made it yet. He hasn't called me yet. He should soon." Catherine said walking to the phone to check the phone messages.
As she browsed through the caller ID the phone rang.
"That's him…. Hello."
"Hey, Its Gil."
"Hey baby. You made it?"
"Duh." Lindsey said at the kitchen sink only hearing her mother's side of the conversation.
"Yea. About…an hour ago. I just got to my aunt's house."
"How was the flight?"
"Fine. I slept most of the way."
"Good."
"Yea, but I have to go. Were about to fix the roof."
"Cool. Be careful."
"I will. Love you."
"Love you too. Bye"
"Bye."

Tuesday—California
"Thank you, Mom. I love you."
"Your welcome. I love you too."
"I'll come back to visit you soon"
"You better."
------------------------------------
"So what are you doing for your birthday?" Lindsey asked looking at her mom who was sitting on the living room couch.
"I don't know. Nothing I guess."
"What? You gotta have a party!"
"No I don't. Some people get too old for parties." Catherine said flipping through the channels.
"Oh yea. Like the time you went insane because Nana bout you a cordless phone or what about the shoes that cost like a kazillon dollars or….
"Thank you! That was the first cordless phone I had ever owned because you needed diapers and those shoed were gorgeous."
"Yea. I know. Blah blah blah." Lindsey said receiving a pillow thrown at her head.
"Come on. Time for you to go to school and me to go to sleep when I get back."
"Ok, but while you are asleep. Think about what you are going to do for your birthday or I can plan it."
"How do I think about it while I sleep?" Catherine asked
"I dunno…just do it." Lindsey said smiling.
"Ok whatever kid."
"Oh mom, Aunt Nancy is picking me up from school today and then Nana tomorrow."
"Ok, just call me to tell me where you are."
"Yup. Got it."
