The day off Aaron's birthday party arrived and Julie, Sarah, Hollie-Mae, chardonnay and Lyndsay turned up and Aaron's older sister Orabelle of course. The kids got their stickers and ran off to play while Linda looked after Lyndsay. Linda took Lyndsay to the ball pit and sat outside watching her play. Lyndsay climbed out as soon as she got bored and wanted to play with the other children. Linda put Lyndsay's leg braces on and went to show her an easy way to get up.
"If Lyndsay get stuck, your getting her out", Adam said.
"Adam", Jessica said.
"Sorry Linda, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed", Jessica replied.
Lyndsay came down the slide smiling and then waited for her sister and they went into the under fives soft play area. Hollie-Mae picked up some toys and Linda went and sat with them. Her four year old nieces were having fun. Adam entered and knelt down next to Linda.
"When's the food", Hollie-Mae asked.
"You still have half an hour playing time, what are you having", Adam replied.
"Burger and chips", Hollie-Mae.
"Here's a little tip, you keep having fun and the time will go fast then you can have your burger", Adam said making Hollie-Mae smile.
"Did you want something", Linda asked.
"Just to say sorry about earlier, it's a big responsibility at a party and Jayden, Sarah, Hollie-Mae, Chardonnay and Lyndsay have been left on their own...", Adam said before Linda inturpted him.
"And your worried that Jayden, Sarah, Hollie-Mae, Chardonnay or Lyndsay will get hurt in your care", Linda replied.
"Yeah, your the only parent who bothered to stay", Adam said.
Linda smiled as Adam got up and went back to Jessica who was arranging the party bags. Adam kissed Jessica on the check and helped her write the children's names on the party bags. With the spare bags Adam wrote Chantelle, Demi, Shaniah and Amy on them.
"They need to go somewhere", Adam said.
Half way through Sean entered with Michael. Jessica welcomed Michael to the party and went to the counter to get him a sticker and Aaron ran out to meet him. Sean sat at the table after taking his shoe's off and watching him run off to play with Aaron and the others.
"Sorry we got lost due to roadworks", Sean said.
"It's fine", Jessica replied.
Adam sat next to Jessica and starred at Sean, it was obvious he wasn't going to leave Michael at the party but he didn't have to sit at the same table. Ten minutes later Aaron and his friends were called for their dinner. All the kids crowded round Jessica and they went to the eating area. Everyone sat down and Hollie-Mae saved a seat for Lyndsay. Lyndsay sat next to Hollie-Mae and the food started to be brought out.
"Chicken nuggets are for Lyndsay, Sarah, Michael and Jayden", Jessica said pointing at the children for the food to be put down.
"The two burgers are Orabelle and Hollie-Mae", Adam said as the girls put their hands up.
"Two fish fingers are for Aaron and Chardonnay and the hot dog is Julie", Jessica said.
The kids all started to eat and then they had jelly for desert. After the jelly Aaron's birthday cake came out with five candles on it and everyone started singing happy birthday. After dinner the kids had more play time and Linda ordered herself a chicken burger with chips. She was given a number and sat down.
"Why don't you stop eating", Sean said.
"She has to eat to live", Adam replied.
After a few minutes Linda's food arrived and Julie came over to see what her mum was doing. Jessica smiled at Julie as Linda turned around.
"What you eating mummy", Julie asked.
"Mummy has a lovely chicken burger and chips", Linda replied.
"What's for tea", Julie asked.
"You have cheese on toast mummy is having marmite on toast", Linda replied.
The party ended and Aaron gave out the party bags and everyone said thank you to him. Jessica gave Linda the extra four party bags for Chantelle, Demi, Shaniah and Amy. Everyone left and Adam and Jessica took Aaron home.
