Chapter 29

The next day was Saturday. Randy's younger brother Nathan woke Lily up. When Lily opened her eyes, she couldn't help but squeal with excitement. She loved Uncle Nathan.

"Morning sleepy head, long time no see." Nathan said.

"Uncle Nathan!" Lily squealed as she hugged him.

"Miss me much? My mom said breakfast will be ready soon so you need to get up. Our Lil Diva needs her nutrition." Nathan said laughing.

Lily told him she had missed him a lot and then finally got up. Nathan left her alone so she could get ready for the day. What she didn't know was that Randy and John planned on taking her to get the things to redecorate her room that day. They had told Mr. and Mrs. Orton that they wanted to surprise her. Nathan hadn't told her that they were already there to pick her up. She dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that brought out the blue in her eyes. Once her hair was done, she headed to the dining room. The smile on her face was amazing when she saw her dad sitting there. She ran to him and hugged him.

"Daddy! I didn't expect you to be here yet." She exclaimed.

John smiled and Randy chuckled. Apparently she had missed her dad.

"Well, Uncle Randy and I have a surprise for you. After you eat breakfast, we will get your things and then we have some shopping to do. Unless you've decided you want to keep the little bunnies and pink frills in your room at his house." John said.

Lily told him that there was no way she was keeping the bunnies. After that she sat down and they all enjoyed the meal Randy's mom had made.

True to his word, John, Randy and Lily were off to shop for her room makeover as soon as they were done. Lily had fun looking at everything, especially paint colors. She decided on an ocean blue for the walls. She picked a carpet the color of sand on the beach. Next they went to find bedding and things to decorate the room with. She chose a white canopy for the bed that reminded her of clouds. The comforter was a comfy one that had both the blue of the walls and the sandy color of the carpet in it. She also picked out pillows and sheets in both colors. After that she found some ocean scene paintings and sea shells to decorate with. John found her the perfect mirror. He had Randy take her to the hummer while he bought it to surprise her.

When they got back to Randy's, the guys helped unload the stuff while the girls started taking the pink canopy off the bed. Lily was excited to help give her room a makeover. Everyone helped take the furniture out of the room and remove the old carpeting. Soon they were ready to start putting on the primer coat. After a while, Nathan showed up to get Lily so they could hang out. The others wanted to surprise Lily with her new room. So Nathan took her to get ice cream and then to a Go Kart park.

Everyone worked hard to finish the room before she got back. Thankfully the paint was fast drying. Some of them put in a personal touch as a surprise. Once the room was finished, everyone was excited to see Lily's face when she saw it. They didn't have to wait long.

Soon, Nathan had returned with Lily. She greeted everyone as she entered the house. John took her hand and led her to the room. Everyone followed them. When he opened the door, Lily couldn't believe her eyes. The room was beautiful.

"Some of us put in our own personal touches." John explained. "For example that mirror was my contribution."

Lilyana looked where her dad was pointing and saw a mirror hanging over one of the dressers. It had seashells all around the frame and was amazing. She thanked him while hugging him. Next Anna spoke.

"AJ, Sam, and I made the picture frames for you. Ted put the pictures in them." Anna said.

Lily looked around the room and saw that there were three picture frames around the room that had seashells around them. They matched the mirror perfectly. When she looked closer at them, she noticed what the pictures were. In one frame, there was a picture of them all asleep on the couch the night of the party. Another one had a picture of them all sleeping in her room after their makeovers and the third one had a picture of Randy, Sam, and Lily in it. She loved them.

"Thank you. They are perfect." Lily said.

Zack pointed out a couple shelves that looked like surf boards hanging on one of the walls. Lily smiled when he told her that he and Glen had done them. She thanked them both. Phil pointed to a starfish and sand dollar that were on the shelves. He had given them to her. He told her he had found them when he had visited the ocean and happened to still have them in his bag. Lily had started to tear up at this point and hugged him. Randy pointed to a lamp that looked like it was made from a bottle. It reminded Lily of a message in a bottle. In fact, there was a piece of paper sticking out of the top of the bottle. Lily pulled it out carefully. The noted said,

Dear Lilyana,

Never forget that you are loved!

Love,

Uncle Randy

Lily hugged Randy and thanked him. Then she put the message back carefully. She had thought that she had seen everything until Mike spoke up.

"For Cody and I's surprise, we need to turn the light off. Cody hit the lights." Mike said.

Cody turned the light off and then told Lily to look up at the ceiling. When she looked up, she gasped. They had put glow in the dark stars on her ceiling In the center they spelled out the word awesome.

"Every time you are here all you have to do is look up and remember that you are awesome." Cody said.

Lily hugged them both and thanked everyone again. The group left her and John alone in the room. Lily sat on the bed just looking around in awe. She couldn't believe that they had done all of this for her.

"Hey Princess, do you like the room?" John asked.

"I love it Daddy." She replied.

John was glad. He decided that he should tell her now about the break up with Liz. So he sat on the bed beside her.

"Princess, I need to talk to you about something. Last night, your uncle Matt called me. It turns out that Liz has been cheating on me. When I called her to confront her about it, she admitted. So, I broke up with her." He told her.

"Oh Daddy, I'm sorry. I know you really liked her but don't worry. You are amazing and will find someone better." Lily said while hugging her dad.

They sat there like that for a few minutes before heading to see what everyone else was doing.

They all enjoyed a nice dinner that night, along with swimming, playing some games, and watching a couple movies. Lily fell asleep during the one of the movies so John carried her to her room. He tucked her in her bed and kissed her forehead; whispering "I love you" before heading out of the room.

The next day went by quickly and soon it was Monday morning. Raw would be happening later that day and it was a busy day for all of them. Lily was excited like always.
