Thank you for all your love and support. It truly means a lot❣

(Your POV)

"Wow, Angel, everything is absolutely divine. The staff outdid themselves," Dad said highly impressed.
"I agree, sweetheart, it's phenomenal," Mom added.
"You wouldn't have happened to have a hand in it, would you?" Yami queried raising a brow.
"Only a teeny weeny bit. I'll be sure to give your compliments to the chef," I told them.
"What exactly is a teeny weeny bit?" Mahad asked.
"Oh, you know just the usual. Tasting to make sure everything is perfect and adding what needs to be added," I said.
"And how many dishes did you have to make more than one change to, just to make sure it's perfect?" Ser asked raising a brow while I glared at her.
"That glare says everything!" Leo chuckled.
"It sure does," Mahad agreed.

"Would it kill you guys to allow the chefs to have some credit?" I pouted.
"Of course not, but you need to stop doing their jobs first," Leo said.
"As well as all your dad's other employees darling. It's one thing to help someone but it's another when you do their job for them and let them take the credit," Mom said.
"We understand you love helping people sweetheart but you need to learn the difference between assisting and executing," Dad added.
"I'll try to remember that next time," I told them.
"Good girl, now what's for dessert?" Dad asked.

"Your favorite Red Velvet Rainbow Chips cupcakes and for albi, this lovely cake is one of your favorite desserts from back in Egypt," I smiled.
"No way! You turned Kahk (An Egyptian Cookie) into a cake?" Mahad asked in disbelief.
"She sure did sweetheart," Phoenix said.
"It's not that hard broey. All I did was incorporate the ingredients for cakes instead of cookies," I told him.
"Now this I have to try. It's not every day my daughter makes an ancient Egyptian dessert that still exists today," Dad said.
"I hope you enjoy it. I spent quite a lot of time studying and preparing it. Mom and Phee helped as well," I told them.
"Well, what are you two waiting for? Cut the cake already!" Mom exclaimed.

"Follow me albi. I'll go first okay?" I told him.
"Okay, I've seen Yugi and his friends do this but..."
"You'll do fine, I'm with you and just like them, you're with your friends and family," I stated.
"Grab the camera, Max, we have to capture this rare moment," Mom said wiping away her tears.
"We can take pictures?" I asked in surprise.
"For this occasion, yes sweetheart," She said making me wish my other friends were a part of this special moment but I'm still grateful for having my entire family together.

I cut a small piece of the cake very carefully, scooping it up with the fork and feeding it to Yami.
"Happy Birthday my love," I said kissing his cheek that was red as a rose.
He skillfully cut his piece of cake and placed it on the fork before feeding me.
"Thank you so much habibty," He said pecking my forehead as a tear slipped down his cheek.

I gave him a tight hug trying my best to contain the number of emotions eradicating my body. Being here in this moment with him feels so surreal. If someone had told me a year ago I was the wife of a Great and Powerful Pharaoh, I would have called them crazy. I still remember that day I saw him dueling against Seto. The deep attraction I felt towards him. It was as though some great powerful force was drawing me to him and then as if I was hit by a freight train everything started coming back to me at once. This man was my best friend, my husband, my Prince, my albi.

"Uh...hmm," Dad cleared his throat.
"Max!" Mom scold.
"As sweet and touching as this is Pharoah, I'm not quite comfortable seeing you so affectionate with my daughter. So if you could restrain yourself until you marry her in this lifetime, it would be greatly appreciated," Dad said making everyone chuckle and mom punch his shoulder while Yami gasps and I glare at him.
"What?" Dad asked.
"You just had to ruin the moment!" I pouted.
"It's fine, habibty, I understand where he's coming from. If we had a daughter, I'd be a lot worse," Yami stated making my cheeks even redder.
"You're already planning on having kids with her!? Cecelia, please tell me you're hearing this and I'm not going insane!" Dad said making us gulp.
