(Author's POV)
"Happy birthday, sweetheart," Ashley kissed Amelia's forehead as she woke her up. Still groggy and with a bloated face, Amelia opened her eyes and saw all her family members in her room. A smile broke on her lips as they all sang, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIAAAAAA~ …." Lucas chimed in, "Congratulations, you are an adult now," and then popped a party popper filled with rose confetti.
"Thank you," Amelia said, her voice raspy.
Vlad rubbed his hands while asking, "So, dear. What do you want on this birthday? Should we throw a grand banquet for our little one, hmmm?"
"Sorry~ … I~ … I have plans with my friends~ … to go to the amusement park," Amelia spoke guiltily.
"Ohh~ …" Ashley uttered, a look of clear disappointment on her face.
"I will be back by six thirty. We will have a nice and cozy dinner at home. What's say?" Amelia suggested, trying to salvage the situation. The mood uplifted a bit as they all kissed her forehead, wishing her once again and walked out.
