I arrived at Mikas house on his birthday, It had been a job and a half convincing my mum that i could go for a week but she quickly changed her stance when I said It was to finally meet Our new found extended family. I had spent a fortune on the taxi up to the house, I really needed to learn how to drive. I got my bags out the boot of the old Fiat Taxi and walked up to the door, I barely knocked before Andy Opened the door with a big smile on his face.

"Georgia, Good to see you, I wanna surprise the family as Mika hasn't told them you'll be here Today." Andy Smiled as he put his finger of his lip to Tell me to be quiet. I was confused as to why Mika didn't tell his family that I was Coming but I guessed he was hoping to surprise them too.

"Oh I got him a present too Andy" I handed Andy a Bag which contained an aged red wine from some small Local Winery in a back street in florence, I knew how Much My Dad adored quality wine and I thought this was one of the best. "Oh I bet he'll love whatever the present is, I'll get The housekeeper to take the bags up for you. We need to introduce you to the Pennimans Properly!" Andy took my hand and Walked me to the patio doors leading to the gardens.
"I hope They'll Like me." I mumbled as I saw A little boy with his mum running around in the flowery area of the massive garden.
"they'll adore you Georgia, They were so open armed for Me, they will be so for you too" Andy Smiled as We walked out into the garden. "Look whos Arrived!" Andy shouted as Mika looked up from a conversation with his dad and came running over to me with his arms open and a classic Big smile of his on his face. He picked me up an spun me round in a hug.

"Muma, Dad, Yasmine Paloma, Fortune, Zuelika, Beauregard, This Is Georgy!" He hugged me tightly and gave me a kiss on my cheek. Beauregard came up to me Immediately and gave me a big hug, Clearly he took after his uncle.
"hello Cousin Georgia, Come say hello to Mommy!" The little boy excitedly jumped around as he lead me over to paloma Who shook my hand.
"Good to meet you Georgia, After all this time!" She smiled generously, Mika had told me about her accident almost a decade before and I was amazed she was completely recovered after something so horrific.
I then Went over to Yasmine, She smiled Sweetly.
"I remember your mum, Just I helped her sneak out our House that night, how's she doing?" Yasmine asked. I saw Mika Dart over a concerned look.
"she's okay." I lied to Yasmine. I Briefly said hi to Mikas younger Brother and sister but they were rather shy.  I worked my way over to Mikas parents, My only grandparents who I'd ever meet. Mikas Mum was in a wheelchair, Recovering from a surgery for her brain tumor with a floppy hat, sunglasses and a pink Dress on and his dad stood over her, he looked very sweet and so did she.
"You're Gorgeous Georgia!" my Grandpa smiled, "Mikas so proud of you as Am I and My wife." He said in a strong American accent. He looked down to Mrs Penniman, Who gave a week but Meaningful smile. I crouched down to her Wheel chair and gave her a massive hug. She looked so weak and vulnerable, I wish id of met her before her illness. she raised and arm and hugged me back. She seemed like such an amazing woman, reduced to a shell of what she was thanks to this tumour.

Soon a cake was brought out with the Age 37 in candles attop it, It was a Really basic cake but I saw how happy Mika was as his nephew Brought it out with the help of Andy and Paloma. The entire family sung happy birthday as Mika blew out the candles and gave yet another big hug to his nephew.
"Tell Uncle Mika who Made the cake"  Paloma Smiled at her son.
"I did!" Beauregard smiled ear to ear as Mika thanked him.
"it's amazing, Thank you Bo, Thank you everyone!" Mika smiled.

We all began partying again soon after, eating the delicious cake Beauregard had Made and soon after Mika announced. "I'm gonna be doing an Instagram Live for my birthday!" As he picked up his phone and started live streaming. I Decided to watch along on my own phone as I loved seeing all his fans wishing him happy birthday.

I was surprised, a Lot of comments were About The I love Beirut Concert and Speculation of who would be special guests, what the songs would be and Then I saw comment after comment asking if I would make an appearance or his family. That put an Idea into my head. Maybe more people would come to the concert. I thought about it as Mika carried on his love and spoke about Beirut.

As soon as the live finished I excitedly jumped over to him. I had to tell him my idea, I had to help for the concert and I had an absolutely brilliant idea.

"Dad, I want to sing in the Concert." I smiled at him.

"are you sure?" He raised an eyebrow.

"yeah." I replied.

"ok, we'll talk about it at our Meeting for the concert later, ok?" He said

"ok!" I Chirped back.
