gemma woke up earlier than most days, it was finally belly's birthday and she always helped with the pancakes and the celebrations, after breakfast she would go with jeremiah and belly get taylor from the bus station.
the blonde girl tied her hair in a high ponytail, and she noticed that the bruise on her eye was less dark than before. susannah gave her some meds to help it.
she didn't want to see conrad, she even thought about the possibility of saying that she was sick. but belly matters more than just a silly old crush. so gemma put a black bikini top and a matching light-yellow short and an opened button t-shirt.
arriving downstair she could smell the pancakes coming from the kitchen. susannah and laurel were taking care of the stove and the boys were prepping the table. she saw conrad just sitting there and eating his regular cereal. he hadn't noticed her yet.
"good morning sweetheart." susannah exclaimed.
"good morning susannah, how can I help?"
"well today was supposed to be your day as well, but since you said you didn't want anything.... you could help the boys over there." she looks at jeremiah and steven. "they're not very good at this."
"you know we can hear you, right mom?" jeremiah scoffs while his mom smiles at him.
"although I couldn't resist to buy you some of those muffins you love so much." susannah winked at the girl and looked over to conrad who was watching them.
"thank you so much, you didn't have to." gemma smiled and started to help the boys with the table
it didn't take long for belly to come downstairs and gemma threw herself into her friend's arms when she saw her.
"happy birthday belly button."
the girls were laughing and belly could hardly breathe.
"there's the birthday girl, looking like a vision in floral." susannah says with a smile on her face. "happy birthday.."
"your mickey mouse pancakes are ready." susannah announces.
"actually, I'm not really, uh, hungry."
"oh."
"shall we open gifts?" gemma claps her hands and smiles when belly nods.
"oh, you're gonna love mine."
the all sat in the living room, belly was in a chair by herself in front of everyone. gemma was sitting on the arm of the chair jeremiah was on. the first person to hand belly their gift was laurel.
