The Love That We Deserve

Happy Birthday to Me

(Flash back to June 22, 2017 6:35pm)

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOC KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK"

"OH MY GOD!!!!!! I AM UPPPPPPP!" I roll off the bed gracefully fall on my face. I screamed when the door bust opened and a bunch of demons jump on me. "Why is this HAPPENING!!!!"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIA ISA!!!" "HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA!!!" I look up to see all of my babies on me.

"Jesus, my little gremlins! Thank you but get off." They all laughed. One by one each get off of me.

"Ok mami, turn around because we have to blindfold you!" Pablo stands next to me.

"Ugh. No why?" I look at him then the others."

"Because mama, we have a surprise!" Sofia skips over to me and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"Pleasesssssssssssssss." They all shout and when five children are shouting at you who barely woke up after a 57 hour shift at the hospital, it's annoying.

"OKAY! FINE! YOU WIN!!!!!" I sit on the bed and wait for them to blindfold me.

"Ok Auntie Tinkerbell let's go!" Zola, who I am assuming is holding my hand, pulls me out the room with the others behind us."

"I got you ma." Pablo holds my waist as we start walking down the stairs.

"I swear if any one of you drop me I will fight all of you." Then I start to think about something.... "Wait, why are you all in my house? Where is your mother?" They just giggle as we continue to walk into the unknown. They make me sit down in a very plush chair and then silence. "Uh, hello?"

I take off my blindfold... "SURPRISE!!!!!"

"Holy fucksauce!!" I screamed and covered my naked legs. I look around and my eyes widened in shocked as I see all my family and my friends in my house. "Shit your guys scared me!!" Everyone just laughs as they all make their way to me for I am assuming hugs and kisses. But just before anyone could I laugh at the incoming Guatemalan general, who many have feared, but is now in a man bun and in tears.

"Mi bebé." My papi comes running up to me and pulls me into a bone crushing hug. "Me chula feliz cumpleaños me hermosa chula chiquitita." I laugh as the man spins me around and around. "Oh my I have missed you so much, my niña." He lays kisses all over my face. "You're so big." He looks into my eyes lovingly.

"Give me my niña porfa." My mom pulls me away from him and gives me kisses me all over my face. "Happy birthday my angel."

"Gracias ama." I squeeze her back. "Where's the boys."

"Angel is in a college tour at Yale, and Luis is in science camp. They are sad that they couldn't make it but they send their love."

"I love them too." I smile as everyone comes and gives me hugs and kisses after hug and kisses. Finally I make it too my love. "Hi amor." I smile up to him.

"Hi bella." He pulls me into a loving kiss. "Good morning. Well technically it's lets see..." I giggle as he mockingly checks his watch. "Six o'clock."
