"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BURTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ELEONORA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" they all sang in harmony and finally some big claps were heard, my mom appeared with a beautiful white cake with candles on it. She got near me and I blow the candles making everyone clap again.

"Happy Birthday auntie!" I heard my little boy say, he ran towards me and I grabbed him in the air

"Thank you so much Charlie!" I smiled at the boy filling his cheeks with kisses

"Happy birthday honey" My mom said caressing my face

"Happy Birthday sweetheart" A known manly voice said making my eyes watery

"Daddy?" I asked looking at the man next to my mom, God I missed him so much I haven't seen him in so long. Without thinking I quickly embraced him in a tight hug

"Uh- I see I was missed" he commented laughing and kissing my cheek "How is my beautiful girl?"

"Wonderful now" I commented

"Don't cry kiddo it's a happy day" I heard my uncle Joe said making me laugh. I was received by hugs andbirthday wishes from all my family and also my friends.

"You little liar!" I exclaimed pointing at Jessica who has next to Miles

"Not liar! The reunion was really scheduled but not with the Fennigan's" she smiled, I embraced her in a warm hug and then Miles

"We have gifts for you!" Miles yelled excitedly

"This one's mine!" he handed me a white and golden box. I opened the box carefully to meet an awesome set of bath and beauty products... Body scrub, face masks, body oils, shampoo, conditioner and lotion.

"This is wonderful. Thank you so much Miles!" I thanked him with another hug

"It's to keep your skin soft for your man" he winked at me, I rolled my eyes with a smile and took Jessica's gift

"This is from you favorite person" she said, I opened the box to meet the most pretty and somehow sexy shoes I have ever seen in my life "To match a good lingerie " she winked at me

I couldn't deny these shoes the prettiest ser of shoes I have seen. I love them! Although I have no idea where to wear them.

I kept talking with everyone and receiving some gifts. I was stunned to meet some old friends from California, I kept questioning how they got head, who tell them and the pausable option was my mom. My mom knew them, my mom made this big surprise happen!

"Annie!" I exclaimed hugging the ginger girl, Annie, Jake, Gabe and Wanda, we were all friends back in school. That was like a long long time ago when I lived in LA. I can't believe I am seeing them again after so many years.

We always kept in touch however our lives were so busy we couldn't have a reunion and talk about the good old days... And now... Like magic they are here.

"Hey girl! Looking good and marrieddd!" Wanda said grabbing my hand and examining my wedding ring.

"Thanks for the invite" Gabe joked

"I am sorry guys, it was sort of complicated" I tried to explain, but I really didn't have any explanation to give. How can I explain it was all to quick for planning a fake marriage?

"Don't worry... Magazines have kept us updated" Jake mentioned

"Ah ah" I let out a fake laugh while they all embraced me

"Let go my granddaughter now! Let's eat please!" I heard Nana demanding, everyone respected her and fig into the beautiful buffets of food. I couldn't be happier with everything, having everyone around me such as family and friends it's the most wonderful gift of all. This is definitely the best birthday I had.

I tried some food and went near my mother to thank her. "Hey ma! " I approached her with a smile

"Hey honey you look beautiful in that dress" she commented while I sat down near her

"How did you found out about my friends?" I asked mentioned the friends I had in California "How did you contact them ?"

"Well I-"

"Did you use your social media, mom?" I realized with a sneaky smile on my face , she throw off a shy smile. "I am so proud of you" I joked "but in all seriousness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart I really wanted to be with everyone on my birthday. It's the best birthday ever!" I exclaimed hugging her, she tapped my arm enjoying the side hug I was giving her.

"Let's dance birthday girl!" Diana said grabbing my hand and pulling me next to the pool where everyone was dancing. Jessica and Miles joined us all later, I could see Charlie playfully playing in the small pool with his mom and dad. They looked happy...happier than the last time I saw them, did he get the job?

"Wait a minute" I told them, they made dissaproving sounds as I walked to Charlie and his parents

"We'll get you later!" Miles exclaimed

"Hey!" I greeted the couple an the small boy who was playing with the water on his feet

"Hello birthday girl! How are you?" my cousin Julia asked

"I am great. This has been a wonderfully day" I said truthfully

"You deserve it" Julia said holding my hand

"Hey... how are you? We haven't talked much about it but... how is everything at home?" I asked

"Honestly? Amazing" I looked at her face smiling over at her husband and son " He got the job"

"He did?" I asked with a big smile... Thank god, everything is all right with them. She nodded a happy yes with her head

"And it's quite a good pay...in a few months we can get back to our normal."

"Oh that's wonderful Julia! I am so happy for you" I squeezed her hand "What about my future goddaughter?" I asked placing my other hand over her belly, her very visible belly of 5 months.

"She is growing healthy, she is quite a fighter always kicking me "

"Might be a future football player!" I exclaimed

"I wanted to talk with ou about something" Julia started her voice let me a bit worried

"What happened?" I asked frowning my eyebrows "Is everything okay with her? Or you? " I asked concerned

"Everything is fine!" She giggled trough my worries "It's about Charlie and her too" sh caressed her belly and looked at me, a serious look on that made my heart beat faster "I wanted Charlie and his sister to have a godfather"

My head tilted not really catching up to what she meant by that. A godfather? Who is going to be there godfather? Who dares to compete with me? I am an excellent godmother and aunt, do these kids need an extra pair of hands? No, they do not! I am the best thing they could ever have as aunt and godmother, there's no need for another person. Who the hell would be there godfather-

"Blaze was mine and Dennis thought's" she commented leaving me speechless. OUT OF EVERYONE IN THIS GODDAMN WORLD SHE IS CHOOSING BLAZE? No. Hell to the no. These kids are mine, I am their aunt and their godmother, I refuse to share that with him. What has he done to make everyone go blind by him? Blaze? BLAZE... No, please no.

" But beforeI proposed that to him I wanted to talk it out with you. I was thinking you could give me an opinion about it... do you think he will want that?" She asked me

"If he wants it?" I asked myself, what did he want? Besides work and pissing me off?

"Yeah- me and Dennis talked about it and Blaze has been quite a wonderful help, not to mention he is great with Charlie and I am sure he is going to be great with this little bun in the oven too" she claimed laughing but I wasn't having fun at all. "Maybe I am wrong but I feel like he loves Charlie a lot, is help as been wonderful and I want someone that protects, cares and loves my son, I want someone like that to be his godfather"

"Is this your subtle way of saying I am not a good godmother and aunt?" I questioned

"What?" She laughed bumping her elbow in mine "Are you jealous? "

"Of course not"

"You are the best godmother my son's will haver have but I think it makes sense to have a godfather too. He is your husband is more than perfect to have you both as my kids godparents"

"I don't think he is religious" I said

"And you are?" She questioned giggling "Oh c'mon, you know this is more than religion. This is about being their guideparents, helping them when their parents aren't near, I need my kid's to have some grown up's to trust on besides their on parents. I want them to have an adult figure to look up to and trust on besides, someone who loves them and they love back. You both are the perfect candidates" She claimed

"Are you sure?"

"I can't believe you're jealous" She laughed " It's already decided. I will ask Blaze... stop being a nuisance cousin" She joked issuing my head. I didn't wanted to face the truth, but the fact was, Blaze had taken care of Charlie a lot of times . It is visible to everyone he loves that kid, and that Carlie loves him back ...I guess I am jut scared to get replaced

"I think it's a great idea" A voice said scaring me.

"Nana! Your eave's dropping!" Julia commented looking over to our grandmother who was now next to us.

"Impossible, how could I? I am old and deaf" She said making me laugh to myself

"Te estas riendo, Eleonora Vargas? Estas burlando de tu abuela ?" She asked in a threatening tone
Are you laughing, Eleanora Vargas? Are you making fun of your grandmother

"No ..." I mumbled

"Hm- As was saying it's a great idea Julia! Your cousin's husband will protect that child with everything in him! he is going to be a good godfather" My abuela explained. this man has managed to get every single one wrapped around s finger...unbelievable.

"He isn't religious" I claimed

"Neither are you! i think we need to open put minds... is religion everything?" Nana questioned looking at me. I chuckled to myself, how ironic this was. I have been trying to tell my grandma this for years and now she finally understands it because of that man. The world is clearly insane I guess.

"Can we steal the birthday girl?" A hand grabbed my arm, Miles appeared in my front making me smile.

"Have fun" Julia said allowing Miles to take me to the dance floor again

"Here she is!!" My friends screamed in joy making a small circle around me

"You look so pretty!" Jessica exclaimed with a long drink on her hand and sloppy eyes... i guess the party as already started without me

"Andre is also coming" Miles notified me

"Really?" I asked eating a nod from Miles

"He was finishing something and will come over"

"That's great. I miss him" I said to myself

"While we wait let's drink!!!" Gabe shouted, so we did. After the lunch and nice afternoon, my family went away. Andre arrived and the yatch sailed with the party on. We danced, sang and drank... and drank and drank a lot.

I wasn't that bad in fact. Jessica was already crying over Connor and how that man hasn't made any moves. Miles was reminiscing about his Italian god that he had seen somewhere on our office. gabe was desperately trying to get Annie's attention, since we were kids gabe had loved Annie and even after all this year he hasn't told her, Jake and Wanda were happily flirting with each other by the pool and Andre... Andre was in a though dance competition with my cousin Diana.

"Hey are you guys ok?" i asked Miles ad Jessica who were crying their hearts out by the pool

"No! I am single and sad... how am I ok?" Miles poute

"Yeah? What about me? I am single, I have the longer crush I have ever had on someone and I can't do anything about it" Jessica cried

"At least you have a crush that talks to you" Miles complained

"Are you competing on who's sadder?" I questioned laughing at them

" You have no permission to talk!" Jessica demanded " You have this perfect life with that perfect husband" She started to cry again

"He is not that perfect" I claimed

"Yeah? If someone had plan all this for me I would be surely marry him, but since you're married I would make this the best night of his life between four walls!" Jessica claimed...I ignored he dirty mind and stopped at the plan part. What does that mean?

"Wait what? Plan all this?" I asked

"Urgh Ell, your stupidity is making me thrifty for a shot!" she said getting up and walking away. I frowned y eyebrows looking at Miles hoping he would explain

"Don't look at me, he is looking lonesome and pretty hot all by himself over there" Miles smiled kissing my cheek and walking to Jessica. I looked behind me watching Blaze leaned on the glass railing, his white shirt with three unbuttoned buttons showing off his skin and a small peck of his muscles, one hand strongly holding a cup of whisky, his veins salient visible from here. He seemed relaxed, his other hand held his phone onto his ear, his arm flexing making his bicep almost rip out of that tight shirt.

Why am I suddendly hot? Whoever I need to catch my breath, cool down and talk with him about this party. Wasn't my mother who had planned al this? If not, who was and why?
