Chapter 6: Happy Birthday
Henry´s POV:

"Hello?" I heard Maria´s voice, ask. It had been a while since I´d heard her voice last. She was very busy in Africa and my shifts usually wasn´t placed at a convenient time of day. I would usually have the rest of the day off when it would be in the middle of the night where she was. If I came home at 8 p.m. it would be 9 a.m. in Ethiopia. "Hey Maria," I said and smiled to myself. "Is it wrong if I assume that you´ve met someone?" she asked. I hadn´t expected that. "How did you guess?" I asked confused. "Oh that´s just a power that I have. No, seriously, who is he?" she asked joking. "He´s name is Harry. He says that he knows you?" I asked wondering. "Harry Judd?" she asked I couldn´t make out her feelings. "Erm…yeah," I answered. There was a voice male voice behind her then. "Oh, yeah," she said to him. "Erm…Henry, I really need to go now," she told me a little absent. "Erm…Maria? There was one more thing," I said trying to find the right way to ask her. "Yeah?" she asked still a little absent. "Do you by any chance have a son?" I asked not really prepared for what the answer could be. There was silent. "Erm…yeah. What happened to him? Henry, I´m sorry, but I really have to go," she told me and hung up. So it was true, I thought to myself as I put down the phone.

I felt a little lonesome and I missed Harry a little though I wasn´t much for admitting it to myself never mind anybody else. Harry had gone back to England a few days ago and I already wanted to call him. What was happening to me? I had never felt this way about a guy before but I wasn´t in love. Was I?

Marian´s POV:

I had never expected everyone to be so kind to me. After all, I was just a simple stewardess that Danny had brought with him home after two dates and told me that I always would be welcome in the McFly residence. He had introduced me to his band mates, Tom´s wife, Giovanna, and their cute little daughter, Isabella. Gio had been very welcoming and we almost talked to each other like best friends. Gio and Dougie were planning a birthday party for the soon 3 year old cute little twins, Adrianna and Christopher. I had never seen their mother around and Danny never mentioned her – none of the guys not even Gio did. I didn´t want to ask about it. They obviously didn´t like to talk about it.

Anyway, as said before, Gio and Dougie planned a birthday party and Gio had asked me if I wanted to help with the birthday cake. I had agreed to help, though I wasn´t that good at baking cakes. I only did it because I wanted the twins to have great day, and because I wanted to get to know Gio better. I had never expected Gio to be so creative. With the help of Tom she came up with the idea that we should make a square birthday cake that was separated in two. On the left part it was pink frosting with little orange marzipan flowers and pink little butterflies. There was a frog sitting on a little pile of green marzipan that looked like grass and a princess standing on her own pile of "grass". On the right part of the cake, it was totally different. There was dark green frosting and piles of "grass" spread everywhere. There was toy dinosaurs and a toy tree. Spread around was brown lumps of marzipan that was formed like little stones.

Dougie´s POV:

It was the twins' birthday party and I had invited all of our friends. We were all singing "happy birthday" to them as Gio and Marian brought in the cake. As the cake had been placed in front of them, Anna had no idea what to do, so she smacked a hand into the cake. She took a whole handful of cake and brought it up to her mouth. I held back laughter while I tried to see Gio and Marian´s reactions. Gio smiled at me and laughed as she cleaned removed the cake that was stuck on Anna´s cheek. Anna laughed and clapped her hands as Chris took one of the little dinosaurs from the cake and started biting in it. I stood there and really enjoyed seeing my little miracles like that. Anna grabbed another handful of cake while Gio tried to cut the cake so all the guests could have a piece too before she´d ruined the whole cake. As I held back Anna´s hand so she wouldn´t take more, she cut two pieces more, one for Chris and one for Anna. Frankie walked up behind me and wrapped her arms around my neck. "They´re really cute today," she whispered into my ear. I smiled and looked at Anna. She was wearing a cute little purple dress that I now remembered how she´d gotten. Maria and Gio had went shopping for baby cloths just after the twins had been born and she´d seen the dress. She had bought it even though she´d known that Anna wouldn´t be able to fit it before now. I sighed. "So do you," I whispered back into Frankie´s ear and turned so that I could look at her. She smiled at me and gave me a quick kiss. She walked past me then. She walked up behind Anna and Chris and gave each a present. "Happy birthday," she told them. Anna whimpered a little as Frankie kissed her cheek. Anna had never really liked Frankie and I had no idea what to do. Would it just go away? I really hope so.

Danny had been very silent which didn't seem like him. Tom and Harry had been discussing some of the new numbers we had made at the tour to US. Gio and Marian had helped with cooking dinner and Frankie and I had taken care of my babies. I was a little spaced out when I heard high voices in the living room. As Danny and I walked in there, we both heard Tom. "Who is she?" he asked obviously excited about it. "Who´s who?" Danny asked always making the questions weird. I didn´t say anything, I just listened with interest. Harry hadn´t brought home a girl in years, not that I´d known of, that is. " Erm .. Well I just met someone," he said and couldn't help but smiling. "So who is she?" Tom asked. "yeah.. and how do you know her?" Danny interrupted. "Well, she's named Henry," Harry started. "H and H. Henry and Harry. It sounds good. You're sure she's not a guy, I mean Henry is a guy name, right?"Danny started laughing at his own joke. "Jones quiet! We have to know who she is, ok?" Gio said who meanwhile had entered the room. He just nodded and shut up. "As I said her name is Henrietta or just Henry. She had this blond hair and guys... She's just awesome!" Harry told and I just couldn't help but laugh. Harry hadn't looked this way since… well at least in 2 years. Gio looked at me, "Dougie please." I nodded and caught Danny's eyes with a smile. "So how did you meet her?" Gio asked and looked like she had tried these conversations a million times. "I was at the hospital with Chris, god Gio you already know her," he said. "So what, we want to hear the story to," Tom said and smiled. Harry rolled his eyes, "She was Chris' doctor and she told me, that she know Maria and could probably see that Chris is Marias' son, because of the same smile. We have just kept the contact, that's all..." he stopped. "What's wrong ..." he began. I had stopped listening by now. I had this feeling in my heart like somebody had just kicked me there. I felt so confused. Had Harry known all the time where Maria was? Had I really been so close to her and still didn´t know? "Dougie ..." Gio said smiling and probably try to cheer me up. I shook my head and came back to reality. "Congrats, dude," I said and faked a smile. None of them reacted. They hadn´t expected me to react this way, it was obvious. Harry was standing looking at me with an apologetic expression. "I´m fine," I said and turned around and walked out of the room.

I sat myself down on the steps outside the house and sighed. I sat there with my head in my hands for a long time when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Danny. I hadn´t really expected to see Danny here. "How are you?" he asked and sat down beside me. I didn´t know what to answer. I shrugged my shoulders. "I don´t know. It is all so confusing. I can´t believe I was so close to her," I babbled on. I stopped when I heard Danny sigh beside me. "Dude, I gotta tell you this," he started and sighed again. "She is not coming back. If she really was there in L.A. at the time, wouldn´t Henry had told her? If she really wanted to see you again, she´d known her chance was then and there," he told me and patted my back. "I´m sorry to say it, but that´s really how it is," he said sympathetically. "I know, I know," I told him and placed my head in my hands again. There was a silence between us while I let his words sink in. I knew Maria probably would never come back, that she´d moved on, but I couldn´t help but hope. Those hopes were naive, I knew that. I took a deep breath and tried to shoot the thought away from me. "How´s it going with Marian and you?" I asked changing the subject. "Fantastic. I´ve never met a girl that could make me go head over heels for her like Marian does," he told me and smiled. He knew now just little of what I felt for Maria.
