Alicia didn't know what the surprise could be, the whole car journey she spent thinking about what her Mum and Eddie had planned

When they finally got home Alicia ran to the door, turned to face them 'ok tell me now pleaaase!'

'We're going to let you have a party' Rachel weakly smiled, sounding less sure as she said it

'Noooo way' Alivia exclaimed

'Yes Alivia, we couldn't do anything for your birthday due to revising and the revision's obviously paid off -so you deserve this' Eddie said, whilst putting his arm round his girlfriend reassuringly

'Oh my god I love you guys' alicia shrieked and hugged them both, then ran upstairs to tell the rest of her year

The rest of the day went quietly until Rachel called down her daughter to tell her the rules

Alicia came bounding downstairs 'no offence Mum but can this be done later, I don't know what dress to wear, my make up is going wrong, I can't find my...'

Rachel looked at her daughter with foundation slapped oddly all over her face 'oh love come on let's go upstairs, and I'll do your make up for you'

The next half an hour saw Rachel delicately applying subtle make up on her daughter's face and helping her find an outfit that wasn't too revealing in her eyes nor to modest in Alicia's

Rachel did feel guilty as she knew she should have been there when Alicia was younger to teach her how to do her make up and to share more of these moments with her daughter - but she let it pass

They both walked down the stairs

'Well I'm a very lucky man, sharing a house with two beautiful ladies'

'You're not too bad yourself' Rachel said leaning in to give her boyfriend a kiss

'Right we're leaving now Alicia you know the rules, absolutely no one upstairs, drink sensibly, smoking outside and through windows doesn't count. Oh and anything breaks your paying for them to be fixed'

'Come on Rach, leave her be, Alicia have a good night and we'll be back at 12' Eddie ushered Rachel out the door before she could say anything else to her daughter

Alicia wandered into the kitchen and she smiled at what she saw, there on the counter was a crate full of cider and a crate of beer with a note on top

'Have a good time, hide the evidence before your Mum can see it! Well done on your resuults! Eddie x'

Drama filled party awaits...
