Chapter 75: March and Birthday
Cath's POV
I opened my eyes from the sleep.
Ahhh... man, this isn't too softy and not comfortable either...
HOW come Dixons lived on these beds like this one?!
I raised up and put my feet on the floor off the bed. But now... I AM REALLY HAPPY THE SLEEP ON THIS DAMN BED IS FINALLY OVER!
But when I stand up on my feet off the bed, Emily isn't in the room no more? Where is Emily?
She shouldn't woke up earlier before me.
I running my hand in my hair. Maybe Christa got a problem with her baby? Better go and see if everything is alright.
After I put on my clothes, I heading for the door and I opened it.
"SURPRISE!"
I found everyone who yelled out and standing right front of me and the door as I jumped with surprise. Then it was quiet now as I just starring at them and everyone just smile at me.
WHAT?!
Wh-what is this about?
I'm getting curious and confused. Surprise for what?
"Happy Birthday, my little sister." Emily chimed gently and broke the silence.
My eyes widened. WHAT!? IS IT MY BIRTHDAY?! TODAY?!
"Happy birthday, Cath." Clem said happily.
I just smile at them back, but I was little confused. I can't believe it that I forgot my birthday, especially in March as it is now!
"Yeah, birthday girl. I hope it's really the best day for you." Omid added.
I running my hands over my cheeks and feel little shy, but I can't just help but thanks to everyone.
"Thank you everyone... It... I have never... feel so happy even after all what we have been through..." I tell to everyone as my voice was mixed of happy and sad.
I notice Christa just sitting on the coach as she was the only one who wasn't stand among with them and waiting for me. I guess she needs to rest for the baby. Her stomach has growing every months.
Then I look around and realize Dix isn't with them either. Huh? Where is he?
"Where's Dix?" I asked curiously.
"Oh, he's upstairs, in the kitchen and cooking some desert." Tim explained.
I caught up something about what Tim just said.
DESERT? SWEET!
"Sorry, kid. No birthday cake this time." Benjamin shrugged. "And barely no gifts either, I think.
I smile and shook my head. Who gives cake or gifts as long we got each other.
"So how old are you now?" Clem asked. "I'm eleven now." I replied.
But even I am eleven now, doesn't feel I've changed yet. But Tess mentioned me once I will when I'm thirteen.
I can still remember when I moved to my family after... my mother. A tear appear from my eye as I hold it as long as I can. I barely remember her though I was just five years old when she passed away. My father doesn't pay much attention on me or Chris either. Only on Emily and Tess too even she doesn't like him much like how he never believed about what happened with Chris. And Coleen... she was... I mean is really nice to me. She was like the real mother of me and Chris too. I wish all of them are here besides my goddamn old man...
Suddenly, Christa gasped which she placed a hand on her stomach. It must have be the baby kicking hard.
We approach her as Omid looked little pep and worry too.
"Are you okay, honey?" Omid asked.
Christa let a grunt off her mouth before she look at her boyfriend. "I'm fine, the baby kicked so hard than last time." Christa says and look at me and Clem. "You wanna hear it?"
My eyes widened. OF COURSE!
I nodded.
"Yeah." I replied and walked straight to her. I leaned down to her stomach and have a ear to listened the baby who kicking from inside.
Sounds like the baby is healed or normal I guess.
I lay my ear off from the stomach.
Then we hear some steps from the upstairs which we turned around and see Dix came down to us. He's holding a big plate with his hand.
I sniffing a smell from the plate as it's covered by canvas. It's smells chocolate... What did he just baked?
"Hello, guys. Sorry for late." Dix excuses us and then looking at me with a smile. "Here you are, birthday girl."
I smirk little.
"What do you got in there?" Benjamin asked curiously and point with his finger at the plate. "Everyone, let's have little party!" Dix shouted out as he yank the canvas off the plate.
My eyes widened with surprise.
Oh whoa! Chocolate Balls!
He bend down to my level and have the plate with Chocolate Balls front of me. I take one and then take a taste of it.
IT'S SO DELICIOUS! I love these!
Dix continue to share the others with chocolate balls.
This is the best day among of all bad days in this year!
Later after the great day, everyone has just go to sleep in bedrooms.
When I was heading to my own where Emily is waiting for me.
"Cath." I hear Dix called me which turned to him. He's standing right front of me. "I got something for you. Something you maybe you and Emily will keep it for you two own from the others if you want." Dix pull out a book from inside of his black west. "Remember when I, Omid and the brothers were gone almost one day when we were scavenge for supplies? We were back to our homes."
He give me the book as I accepted and take a look inside of it. It was a lot of photos of me, Chris, Emily, Tess, Coleen and even father too. And some of my friends too. And then of Axel, Megan and the others.
Dix picked all these photos from my old home?! That's... I've never I wouldn't never seen these photos again.
Suddenly, I give Dix a tightly hug which it's shock him as well. But he couldn't help about it, and patted my head.
"Thank you so much." I said happily as I give me a smile. "Your welcome, go and show these photos to Emily before take a sleep. See tomorrow." Dix said and walk away to his own bedroom.
I nod. I will.
I went to my bedroom.
