Toni's Birthday Surprise
By: Corrie Date: December 29, 2017, 9:29 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
It has to be hard, having a birthday in the month of December.
Especially for a child.
And both Toni and Kiki do.
On the morning of Toni's birthday, I get up and make a big batch
of chocolate chip pancakes for everyone to have for breakfast
and set the table nicely. I always let the kids sleep in until
they were ready to get up on days when there wasn't school or
some other reason that getting up early was needed. At the same
time, though, I knew the time that Toni normally got up and had
timed everything to be ready near then.
At her seat, her chair was decorated with a purple balloon tied
to one of the handles and there was a birthday hat sitting at
each place.

[font=comic sans ms]*Feeling a wet tongue on my cheek - Belles
usual method of letting me know its time to get up - i screw up
my face and wipe at my damp cheek as i slowly open my eyes,
yawning. Not ready to be awake yet i think about pulling the
covers over my head and going back to sleep when a hyperactive
furball in the shape of Nala lands squarely on my middle!
Shoving the dogs off the bed i grab a hairband and drag my hair
back into a messy ponytail before showing my feet into my
sneakers and grabbing my hoody, knowing ill get no peace till i
let the pups out for their morning run.
Heading downstairs i hear movement in the kitchen and, figuring
it's nanty, call through that im letting the dogs out for their
run before opening the door and nearly being flattened by the
pups as they rush past me. Standing in the doorway i blink a
little in the bright light, shivering a little as i note that it
looks like it might turn out to be a nice day for a
change!*[/font]

*Waking super early and finding myself unable to go back to
sleep i get up and go over to my dressing table and have a seat.
Looking in the mirror i put on my glasses and study my image
carefully in the glass for a time, noting the changes that have
occurred since i appeared on Nantys doorstep. Reaching into my
drawer i remove the traces of yesterdays make up and study the
now fading purple of my hair. Nodding to myself I grab my
things, pulling a box from my drawer and head to the bathroom.
Locking the bathroom door for privacy, i open the box and study
the directions inside before taking a deep breath and applying
the contents to my hair and let it do its thing, before
showering and dressing as normal. Heading back to the bedroom,
hair wrapped tight in a towel i again take a seat at my dressing
table before unwinding my hair from the towel and looking at my
reflection in the mirror. Running my fingers through my hair, i
barely recognise the face staring back at me. Finally i smile.
This is right, this is me.
Drying My hair, i smile as i run my fingers through it,
marvelling at the colour i havent seen in so long. Glancing at
my makeup, i make the decision to forgo the usual mask, opting
instead for just a slick of gloss and instead of removing the
glasses i keep them on as i should have been the whole time.
Grabbing toni's card and present i bite my lip and head off
downstairs to the kitchen.*

*Having been awake for a while, sat on my windowseat
daydreaming, i smile as i see Belle and Nala running around the
yard. Figuring as the birthday girl seems to be awake i should
probably head downstairs, i grab my slippers and slip on a hoody
before grabbing toni's present and heading downstairs. Doing a
double take as i pass Iona heading into the kitchen i make no
comment other than to say good morning and head for the kettle,
checking its full before flipping it on and automatically
reaching for a mug for me and momma before remembering Iona's up
and grabbing a third. Placing my present for toni on a side
table i smile at Momma and wish her good morning*

When Toni calls that she's letting the dogs out I grin and call
back, "Okay! Straight into the kitchen for breakfast with you
when you get back, please!"
Kiki comes in next and I scoop her up when she comes over,
kissing her cheek. Her name for me, Nanomma, is fairly recent
and I hug her close. "Well, you can have a blueberry breakfast
cookie while we wait for the others," I tell her giving her one.
When Iona comes in I do a double-take, shocked. My only response
is to go over to her and wrap my arms gently around her, kissing
the top of her head. "Good morning, Sweetheart." I'm happy to
see that I was right; letting her settle in and make her own
choices avoided a lot of confrontation and ended up with her
being true to herself.
Willa comes down and automatically starts the kettle and gets
the mugs and I smile at her. "Good morning to you, too,
Sweetheart."

[font=comic sans ms]*Blowing on my hands cuzz theres still a nip
in the air for all thatthe suns shinin, i call to the dogs when
i figure they had enough of a run ta let off steam. Ushering
them in the house, i stifle a yawn, before heading towards the
kitchen, stopping in the doorway, blinking,
as something shiny and pourole catches my eye.[/font]

*Smiles softly and leans back into Nantys hug as i say good
morning, relieved that no-ones making a fuss over the change in
look. Glancing round i look questioningly at Nanty*
"Don't tell me the birthday brats still sleeping?"
*Heading for the fridge i grab myself a glass of juice and take
a seat at the table*
"Something sure smells good this morning!"

[font=comic sans ms]*Looking over my shoulder at Iona, still
trying to get my head round the new look, having not seen her
with anything but purple hair, at least since we were tiny,I
answer her question as i finish making tea for everyone*
"The Birthday Brats outside with the furballs still- She must be
Frozen, i had my window open earlier and its a lot colder than
it looks out there!"[/font]
