       MONTHS LATER,

   Joan's mum kissed her grandson goodbye, she was going after all her grand son is now 6 months old and he will not disturb his parents again.

      He was used to the way his mum do cry when he is crying and now he has reduced the way he cries.

      Actually, he has already been named and his name is Mike.

      Mr Smith dropped Joan's mum also his mother in law at her house and from there went to his work place.

        Apparently Joan's mum didn't stay for six months, she left after 2 months and do visit and stay for some days before she goes.

     Just a normal day with Joan and her son as usual except that her mum wasn't there, she feeds him,plays peekaboo with him and feeds him again then he goes to sleep.

        Sometimes, Miley, Joan's very close friend but not best friend comes to the house they talk and laugh for some hours before she goes.

     Smith had already formed a habit of coming home late and he uses he was having an important meeting, so Joan didn't care that much.

       When he returns home from work either he sees Joan watching TV and her son(Mike) sleeping or she will already be sleeping.

       With his food already ready and served in the dinning table.

       Joan tries her best to put on a normal face to not be so angry and not to express her feelings before him.

      That night, it was raining very heavily and Mr Smith was not yet back, Joan waited for him, her son was also crying, she was so tired that she didn't remember her husband hasn't come back from work.

     She feel at sleep and she woke up and checked everywhere in the room but her husband wasn't there.

     She immediately unlocked her phone and checked what time it was and it was after 8 already.

      She went to the baby's room to check if her husband went there to check on the baby but they weren't there.

      Then she heard sound from the sitting room and went there she found her husband and her son.

      They were having a father and son time.

      Mr Smith was lying down on the couch facing the ceiling with his baby on his chest.

      Mr Smith sees her and tells her to keep quiet giving it in a sign way putting his index finger on his lips.

        Joan over slept till the point that she didn't hear her baby crying.

     "Ohh no I'm sorry".

      She slowly takes the baby off his chest.

     She carries him back to his room and while dropping him in his cabinet he woke up and shockingly didn't cry.

    She fed him and made breakfast for her and her husband.

     It was just another normal day but her husband, Mr Smith wasn't going to work.

       "I will be going to the grocery store to get some veggies and fruit cause my doctor prescribed it for me"said Joan.

       "I'll drop you off"said Mr Smith.

      "No you have to rest since you have been given two days of rest"said Joan.

      "No let me just drop you off"said Mr Smith.

     "Then who is going to take care of Mike"said Joan.

       "He will come with us"said Joan.

     Joan got dressed, Mr Smith also got dressed and they went to the grocery store.

       Mr Smith and Mike waited outside in the parking lot while Joan went in to get the vegetables and fruits.

       Joan also bought some snacks and drinks.

     When they were coming Mike stared crying and Joan tries to make him to stop but he didn't.

    When they got home Joan prepared the veggies, put Mike to sleep and she ate, Mr Smith also joined her to eat.

   MONTHS LATER,

     It was 2 weeks to Joan's birthday, she kept reminding her husband that it was her birthday soon.

      She prepared for her birthday and planned her it will be, it was going to be a family birthday with just three people coming.

    Mike,Mr Smith and the birthday girl Mrs Smith.

     She planned that it will be a homemade birthday and decorations.

ONE WEEK TILL BIRTHDAY.

  She went to the store to get some balloons and some other decorations stuff.

2 DAYS TILL BIRTHDAY

    She bought the food ingredients and materials for the cooking.

BIRTHDAY 🎂

     She orders her cake from a near by bakery.

     And she starts the preparation of the food
 
     Apparently, Mr Smith is at work and the time for the birthday is 8:00pm.

       Hours later, Joan finished preparing the food and decorated everywhere.

     She was so excited for the day.

   It was like a Birthday Date.

     10 minutes till 8oclock she had a call and it was her husband, he said that he was going to come home really late and he would not be able to come at that exact time.

     Joan was disappointed but she waited for him to come.

     She fed Mike and waited.

    It was already 9:52pm when she heard a knock from the door and when she opened the door she saw her mum, her husband and two of her family friends she also saw Miley.

     They were with gifts and cakes.
