Chapter 5: Happy birthday Anna:
2 weeks later. Anna's birthday is in 4 days.
"Mommy! Is it my birthday yet?" Anna asked.
"No sweetie. Your birthday isn't for another 4 days." I said.
"Well why can't we change it?" Anna asked.
"Because you weren't born five years from today. You were born 5 years from Friday." I explained.
"Well...fine." Anna said then went to her room.
"Hey." Troy said walking in.
"Hey Troy." I said giving him a kiss.
"How was your day?" Troy asked.
"Fine. I went to work, picked Anna up from day care, and came home. It was fine." I said.
"Oh." Troy smirked. "Where's Anna?"
"Upstairs in her room. Waiting for tomorrow so she can ask me if it's her birthday yet." I said.
"Oh. She's still mad it's not her birthday." Troy said.
"Yeah." I said.
"Well on Friday she can celebrate her birthday all she wants." Troy said.
"Yeah." I said.
Later that day.
"Hi daddy!" Anna said finally coming down.
"Hey!" Troy said picking her up. "How are you?"
Troy asked giving her a kiss.
"Mad." Anna said.
"Mad? Why?" Troy asked.
"Because it's still not my birthday." Anna said.
"Oh. Well only 4 more days." Troy said.
"I know." Anna said. Then Taylor and Chad came knocking on the door.
"Hey!" Taylor said.
"Hey guys. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I don't know. We just wanted to come by and visit. And...since me and Chad aren't going to be here for Anna's birthday we wanted to give her our present." Taylor said.
"Yey!" Anna exclaimed.
"What? You guys aren't going to be here? Where are you going?" I asked.
"New York." Chad said.
"Why?" Troy asked.
"Because we just wanted to take a little vacation." Chad explained.
"Oh." We said.
"You guys are lucky you can take a vacation. I mean ever since Anna was born we haven't been able to." I said. "Except for our honeymoon."
"What did I do?" Anna asked.
"Oh. Nothing sweetie." I said.
"Well...we're going on Thursday for a week." Taylor said.
"Oh." Troy said.
"Cool." I said.
"Where are you going?" Anna asked.
"They're going to Hawaii." I told her.
"Where's that?" Anna asked.
"Somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean." I said.
"Where's that?" Anna asked.
"Uh...well let's just say it's far away." I said.
"It's not that far." Chad said.
"Just go along with it." I said.
"Oh." Anna said. "Can I open my present now?"
"Oh yes. Sure." Taylor said handing it to her. When she opened it she found...
"A puppy!" Anna exclaimed. We knew she was getting her one all along.
"Awww! How cute!" I said handing the puppy to Anna.
"Thank you!" Anna exclaimed.
"You're welcome sweetie." Taylor said.
"Yeah." Chad said.
"A puppy?" Troy asked. I guess Troy didn't.
"Well. We just thought you guys needed a pet so when I came across this lady selling these puppys on the street for free I just had to get one for her." Taylor explained.
"Gabi, did you know about this?" Troy asked.
"Of corse I did. You wouldn't think I'd let Taylor get her a puppy without me knowing, would you?" I said.
"And you didn't tell me why?" Troy asked.
"Oh come on Troy. It's alright. I mean look at this face!" I said holding the puppy up close to his face.
"Oh...well...fine..." Troy said giving in.
"I want my puppy!" Anna said holding out her hands.
"Ok. Here you go." I said.
"Well we just wanted to give you her. So we have to get going now." Chad said.
"Ok." I said. "So we'll see you guys when you get back I guess."
"Yep." Taylor said giving me and Anna a hug.
"Bye." Chad said.
"Bye." We said.
"Ok now Anna. This puppy is just like a little baby, you have to give it love, you have to take care of it, and give it a lot of attention." I explained to her. "Ok?"
"Ok." Anna said.
"What do you wanna name her?" I asked.
"Uh...I don't know..." Anna said.
"Well how about 'Cookie' or 'Fluffy' or 'Shadow'?" I asked her.
"How about...Maggie?" Anna said.
"Ok. Well it's your choice. You can name her anything you want." I said.
"Ok then. Maggie is her name." Anna said.
"Ok." I said.
"Well why don't you give Maggie some food and water." Troy suggested.
"Well Troy we don't have any dog food yet." I said.
"It looks like she came with some." Troy said taking some food out of her box.
"Oh. Ok." I said. "Let's go into the kitchen."
"Ok." Anna said.
Later that night. We are just watching tv.
"Hey Gabs. I forgot to tell you that I got some tickets to see Lakers play." Troy explained.
"When?" I asked.
"Uh...it's on...uh...next Friday." Troy said.
"Ok. Cool. Hey Anna do you wanna go to a basketball game next Friday?" I asked her.
"Can Maggie come?" Anna asked.
"No sweetie. Maggie can't come." I said.
"Why not?" Anna asked.
"Because...they just probably don't allow pets there." I said. "I'm sorry. We'll just have to leave Maggie with like Taylor or someone."
"Fine..." Anna said.
"Ok. So if we're gonna get there in time for the game we'll probably have to leave like on Tuesday. Cause I mean to fly it would just cost more." Troy said.
"True." I said.
"Mommy. I'm tired." Anna said yawning.
"Ok. Let's go to bed." I said picking her up. "I'll be right back."
Then it was just Troy and Maggie sitting down there. Troy was still watching the tv, but Maggie was starring at Troy. Troy kept glancing over to her wondering why she was. But of course he wasn't gonna talk to a dog.
5 minutes later I came back down.
"Well she fell quickly." I said sitting down next to Troy.
"Well good. She looked tired." Troy said. Then I started watching the tv. Then I just kept feeling like someone was watching us. And so did Troy. Then we both looked over at Maggie and noticed she was still starring.
