One Night Stand = Pregnant

Chapter 22 | Happy Birthday Penelope

Hey guys! The picture is Penelope's outfit that she wore. Hope you like it and the chapter! Also I changed the cover.

I wake up to the sound of music at 5:27am. I try to cover my ears with my pillows but the music is still loud. I eventually just give up and stare at the ceiling. At exactly 5:32 I hear a knock on my door.

Knock.

Knock.

"Come in!"

"Happy Birthday, sweetheart!" My parents say in unison. My mom has a cake in her hands with exactly sixteen candles. I keep telling her it would be much easier if you just bought a one and a six candle.

We have this weird tradition where we will bake a cake and and then put loud music in the background. The music strictly has to be only birthday songs though. At the time we were born my parents or me and one of my parents will bring in the cake and start singing happy birthday. It has to be at the exact time we were born. No minute before or after.

My parents are singing me Happy Birthday while I'm admiring the cake. If my parents knew me well, which I hope they do, then the inside should be chocolate with chocolate chips and chocolate fudge filling. I'm obsessed with chocolate, okay? Don't judge. On the outside it has white cream with chocolate syrup. Written with strawberry frosting was, Happy 16th Birthday Penelope. It was simple which I liked.

"Make a wish."

I thought about it. I know wishes don't really come true, but it was tradition. I wish that my baby will be healthy and okay. It still isn't until a couple more months but it is never too early to wish for the best. I blew out every candle but the last didn't seem to want to go out. Eventually though, I finally got it. My parents clapped.

"Happy birthday, sweetie," my dad said giving me a kiss in the forehead.

"Thanks, dad."

"Happy birthday. Our gift is downstairs. We will put the cake in the kitchen so you won't have a mess in here," my mother explains.

"Okay. Thanks." As soon as they're out I check my messages and see Sabrina has sent me a message at 5:32. She also knows about our little tradition. Last year she climbed in through my window to join my parents in wishing me happy birthday at the correct time.

Sabrina: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you have a great day! Coming over today whether you like it or not ;) this will be the greasiest birthday in the history of birthday.

Greasiest? Is she planning on having a lot of greasy food?

Ding.

Another message from Sabrina.

Sabrina: I meant greatest not greasiest!

Oh, Bri. Since my was November 14th, it landed on a Saturday this year. Meaning I had the whole day today to hang out. I got up and took a shower knowing that Sabrina was going to take me somewhere and maybe even Caleb.

I had to blowdry my hair or it would never dry. I had to leave it down since it was still a bit damp. I did my makeup and walked over to my closet. Today was special and I should wear something that made me feel nice. I tried on many outfits but wasn't satisfied with none. I tried on a sheer white blouse with polka dots. I wore a denim jacket and rolled up my sleeves up to my elbows. I put on brown skinny jeans with a small, brown, leathery belt. I put on a few bracelets and a necklace for accessories. I looked in the mirror and was satisfied, so I went downstairs.

I felt as if I had forgotten something. I just couldn't put my finer on it. "Good morning, Penelope," dad said.

"Good morning dad!" I was in a really good mood today despite what happened a few days ago at the mall with Amanda. When I went to school the next day a few people actually congratulated me for standing up to Amanda. It wasn't something to be proud of as she was probably going to make my life hell. I jumped at every thing at school waiting for her to attack. Today I wasn't going to worry as she probably was going to put her plan at school, where I could get embarrassed at school where there where people I knew. "I feel weird today."
