Tomorrow came just as promised. Today was Anna Mae's 9th birthday, It was only 9:30am in the morning where breakfast was always served on the table with the ones who she considered as family sitting around.

Mary was over along with the 3 other girls from
church, Dorothy, Ethel, Florence, and Anna Mae sat at the table. Ethel glanced at her daughter seeing the faint light look on her face. She knew she was still thinking about last night and was feeling the way she should have felt.

The others noticed as well at the tension that was between the two of them but no one spoke up about it and just left it as that. Anna just stared at the mickey mouse shaped pancakes poking them with a fork.

"Stop playing with your food girl" Dorothy tapped her arm lightly, She gave her grandma a unnoticed glare and began eating the food slowly "Happy birthday baby" Ethel finally spoke trying to make up what happened last night

"Hm thanks." She gave her a dry response "Anna I'm trying. I'm sorry about what happened last night. I was concerned about you as a mother should be! you're a child staying out late" She was getting her point across but Anna didn't feel like talking at the moment

"It's fine." She told her mother, Ding Ding Ding. "I'll get it" Mary looked at everyone then stood up to go towards the door. When she opened the door it revealed Celine and Smokey Robinson with Michael next to them

Anna Mae leaned her head to see who was at the door and smiled happily jumping up out her seat "Michael!" She ran over to him, He came inside taking his shoes off and hugged her "Happy birthday" He smiled

"Thank you. Is this for me?" She looked at the gift in his hands "Sure is" He handed it to her. Her family stood up going to the living and seen Smokey Robinson causing her mother to gasp "Hello Mr.Robinson how may i help you?" Ethel held out her hand along so did Florence

Anna Mae opened up the gift and it was an elephant plushie, It was Dumbo from the famous disney film. He remembered Anna Mae telling him that was her favorite Animal and movie "Awww I love it Michael" She hugged the stuffed animal

He blushed feeling joy in his system "I'm glad you do" He rubbed the palm of her hand feeling warmth. "Anna Mae you made an album?"

The turned their heads towards the adults, Anna Mae looked at her mother and nodded "Why didn't you tell- oh.." Ethel turned her head away sighing, is that what she tried to tell me yesterday? she thought to herself
