Summary: Catherine gets the best birthday surprise.
A/N: Ok here's another chapter…either this or the next will be the last…haven't made up my mind yet. lol…but enjoy. I have no beta so all mistakes are mine.
Catherine sat in front the birthday cake. In cursive 'Happy Birthday Cath' was written on it. She was so glad that there had not been a number on it. She made her wish and blew out the candles and everyone clapped.
"How old are you now." Greg started to sing, but stopped when he received the evil glare from Catherine. "Ok. Never mind…CAKE!" he yelled
"Hold your horses kid." Nancy said handing Catherine the knife.
Catherine cut the cake and to her surprise everyone cheered. Soon everyone was eating cake and ice cream or dancing.
Catherine looked around at everyone. Even people she didn't even know where there. She just wanted Gil there. She sighed and continued to eat her cake in peace.
"Presents!" Lindsey yelled from the other side of the room.
Catherine got up and walked to the gifts that lay on the floor. Most likely from everyone that she actually knew.
"Sit, sit." Lindsey said directing her to the chair next to the wall. "Ok. First is from Sara."
Catherine opened the box to find a porcelain duck. It reminded her of the swing shift supervisor and her fandom over them. She let out a laugh and thanked Sara.
"This one is from Warrick." She said handing her a bag stuffed with tissue paper.
Catherine opened the bag and shuffled the tissue paper around pulling out a personalized eyeglasses case. "I needed this. Thanks Rick." She said giving him a light hug.
"This is from me." Greg said before Lindsey could hand the bag over. Catherine glared at Greg suspiciously and peeked into the bag. She though no harm until she picked up the shirt and it dropped.
The words 'Hot Mama' were written in different colors around the low V-neck. Everyone's jaws dropped some laughing. Catherine looked over to Greg who wore a smug smile on his face.
"You can go put it on if you want."
"Not thanks." She said throwing the shirt at him.
"Turned down…again." Nick said patting him on the shoulder.
The gifts continued. A book and CD from Nick, a necklace from Nancy and Lindsey, an expensive diamond necklace form her parents and a couple of others.
"And you have one more." Nancy pulled out a scarf. "You have to put this on your eyes though.
"Nanc." Catherine said in a warning tone.
"No sister dear…I think that you are going to love this." She said tying the scarf around her eyes.
"See Mom, we couldn't exactly wrap this gift so we put it in the closet."
"Ok. So its not a car." She mumbled.
With help she was guided to the closet. She heard the closet door open.
"Ok, you have to stay put though. Don't move when I take off the scarf." Nancy said.
Everyone stood around smiling and waiting for the big surprise. Catherine's family was the only ones who knew what it was.
"Ok, whatever." Catherine said sighing even though she was a little excited. She heard the sliding door open.
"Here goes." Nancy said. Everyone holding there breath.
Ok had to stop here. LOL HAHAHA! evil grin Guess you'll have to wait to know what the surprise is! I know that this isn't the greatest chapter but please review!
