Chapter Six: The Worst Birthday Ever
Later on that evening Sasuke and Sakura dropped off Ami at Keiko's house. "Everything's in here that I believe you'll need." Sasuke told them as he sat down the diaper bag on top of the couch along with the car seat and then he unbuckled Ami and picked her up. "Alright princess, Daddy is going to leave you with Nana and Auntie Keiko now." He told her before he planted a kiss on her forehead. "I love you and be a good girl for them." He told her as he handed her over to Keiko's mother.
"She just ate and had a diaper change a little while ago so she'll still have to have her bath and story before bed." He explained.
"I'll help!" Keiko volunteered while raising her hand.
"Alright sweetheart you can read to her after I give her a bath then how does that sound?" her mother questioned her.
"Great!" she exclaimed excitedly as Sasuke grinned at her before he gave them both a slight wave.
"Well, I'll see you guys later." He began as he bent over and planted a kiss on her cheek.
"Goodbye big brother!" Keiko cried while he stood back up and turned back around and walked back out the door.
"Well come on sweetie, let's start getting you ready for your bath." Her mother began as she smiled warmly down at her granddaughter and then kissed her softly on the top of her head.
"Goo! Goo!" Ami exclaimed with a giggle while she was carried down the hallway.
Ami had a great time playing and splashing in her bath and gasped in complete wonder and delight as the bubbles rose into the air before popping again making her giggle again. Her grandmother smiled at her before she continued washing her hair and the rest of her body. As soon as Ami was finished bathing, she wrapped her up in a yellow towel and the carried her back into the guest room to put some baby powder on her bottom along with some diaper cream (because she had a diaper rash) and diapered her back up again and then put her in her nightgown afterwards.
"Alright Keiko, Ami's all ready for bed are you ready to read to her now then?" her mother asked her as she carried Ami into her bedroom.
"Yep!" Keiko exclaimed excitedly before she put away her Barbie dolls and afterwards sat down inside the rocking chair back in the guest room to rock Ami to sleep while she read Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs to her. Ami yawned and smiled sleepily before she closed her eyes and started sucking her thumb. "Aww,.. you're so cute." She whispered softly before she gently kissed the top of her head and then carried her over to her crib and laid her down inside of it while placing her little stuffed lamb inside her hand as she covered her up with her fuzzy pink blanket.
After that she walked over to the light switch to turn off the light and then she turned her head and smiled warmly and lovingly at the sleeping infant before leaving the room and quietly shutting the door behind her.
…
The next day Keiko excitedly sprung out of bed since it was the day of her birthday party and she felt like she could hardly contain herself. Ami was sitting up in her highchair as Keiko quickly hurried into the kitchen. Her mother had been attempting to feed her a bowl of oatmeal that Ami had repeatedly been refusing. She kept pushing the spoon away multiple times before finally she had had enough and pushed her bowl of oatmeal over and knocked it onto the ground instead clapping her hand with excitement.
At that moment Titiana ran over to the mess and started lapping it up with her tongue. "No, no Ami. Bad girl." Her grandmother told her. "Keiko, can you please come and get the dog?" she questioned as Keiko nodded as she ran over there to get her before she quickly ran over to get her and then the baby started to cry. "Oh dear, somebody is getting fussy now." She said as she picked up Ami and gently started to bounce her up and down. "Maybe she'll calm down if I give her her bottle." She thought aloud.
"Can I do it?" Keiko asked her.
"Well don't you want to have breakfast first sweetheart?" her mother wondered as Keiko suddenly felt her stomach starting to rumble.
"Oh yeah, I guess that I am starting to get kind of hungry." She admitted.
"Tell you what? You can feed her later on after she wakes up from her nap how does that sound?" her mother asked her.
"It sounds great!" Keiko exclaimed as her mother started heating up Ami's bottle while Keiko sat down and started eating her cereal.
Later on that day Sasuke and Sakura came over and brought Keiko her birthday presents and that's when she realized that none of her other party guests were arriving. "I wonder why nobody else has showed up yet." She said to herself before all of a sudden the telephone rang and she went to go answer it. "Hello?" she questioned.
"Hey Keiko." Saki began.
"Saki where are you!?" Keiko cried.
"I'm sorry Keiko but I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it. Hiro had his own party last night and we camped outside in his backyard. Unfortunately he failed to mention that it was covered in poison ivy." Saki told her.
"Yeah! Well I bet he did that on purpose." Keiko began. "Who else was there?" she wondered.
"Umm,.." Saki began anxiously.
"Spit it out!" Keiko snapped.
"The whole entire class." She replied when suddenly Keiko felt her eyes start to turn red.
"I knew it!" she cried. "And now everybody probably all has poison ivy so they can't come to my party!" she yelled.
"I'm sorry Keiko." Saki apologized as Keiko heaved a deep and heavy sad sigh while feeling her eyes start to change to a dark colored blue.
"It's alright Saki, it isn't your fault. I'll talk to you later. Goodbye." She said before she hung up and turned to look at everybody else. "This is the worst birthday ever!" she exclaimed before she quickly turned around and ran down the hallway and into her bedroom while slamming the door behind her.
