Chapter 54 Welcome to the Family Party

It was two weeks after Hannah had been adopted. The planning for the party was complete. It was soon going to be set up. Right now Hannah was sleeping in her bed. Then Orko and Dree Elle came into her room. Orko placed her shoulder. "Hannah wake up," Orko said.

Hannah woke up and saw Orko. "Morning," Orko said.

"Morning daddy," Hannah said. Then she sat up and stretched. "Why wake me up so early?" She asked.

"Today is very special sweetie, we have to get you ready," Dree Elle said. "First thing is first, breakfast and then a bath," she said.

"A bath in the morning?" Hannah asked. "I thought bath time is only when dirty or before bed?" She asked.

"Sometimes yes," Orko said. "Sometimes bath time is in the morning if something special is happening on that day," he said.

"Oh," Hannah said.

Then Hannah soon had her breakfast. Then after her breakfast Dree Elle gave Hannah her bath. She washed her up from head to toe. Hannah was enjoying being washed up. Then once she was clean Dree Elle took her out of the tub. "There you go all clean," Dree Elle said. Then she dried her off and helped her get dressed. Hannah was curious about what was going on. She saw these clothes were nicer than what she normally wears. "These are prettier than what I normally wear," Hannah said.

"Well like we said today is special we want you to look nice," Dree Elle said.

The others were busy setting everything up in the room. "There we go all done setting up," Bow said.

"Yes thanks to all of us working together we managed to get it done," Adam said.

"Yes now the party can start once Hannah gets in the room," Adora said.

"This is very exciting," Unzo said. "This is a very special day, then after this every year there on the day she was adopted she will celebrate her gotcha day," he said. "So this is very important all the sides of her new Trollan family are here to celebrate to make her feel welcome and happy she is now apart of our family forever, give her attention and many good wishes and hopes for her and her future and the future of the rest of the family and long happy life with us as her family," he said. "Then after this every year on the day she is adopted we celebrate her gotcha day like humans do to continue to celebrate her being in the family every year, to remind her we love her and that will never go away," he said.

"That is very nice," Glimmer said.

"Look at all of that for one kid who is only four?" Brody asked seeing the table with presents.

"Yes," Ilyne said. "Somethings are toys, or books, or clothes, or something for her to do," she said. "But she will still get things at other special occasions like certain holidays, or her birthday, or her gotcha day," she said. "Just like humans and other races she will have times to go through her old things and find what she wants to keep and what wants to give way away that is in good condition and throw away anything falling apart badly that can't be fixed," she said. "So in other words she will find things she doesn't want or need any more to give away just like any other child," she said.

"That makes perfect sense," Madame Razz said.

Soon Hannah was brought into the room with her parents. "Welcome to your forever family Hannah!" Everyone said.

"Wow," Hannah said surprised.

Everyone came up and began to give Hannah love and attention. "This is a very happy and special day," Seagg said.

They were all super excited about this. There was cake with frosting in Hannah's favorite color. There was all kinds of things to do. "I love you," Orko said holding

Hannah was getting warm welcomes and wishes. "It is so nice to have you in the family," Montork said.

"We are so happy you are now part of it," Gornia said.

One of the young cousins noticed how much attention Hannah was getting. He wasn't happy that no one was giving him or the other kids much attention. He noticed many of his cousins who were kids giving Hannah attention to and playing what she wanted. He was wanting attention and he saw all the presents there all for Hannah. He was feeling left out and jealous. He was sitting out of the fun.

Masde noticed and came over to him. "Is everything alright?" Masde asked the young cousin named Moridin.

"Why is it all about her?" Moridin asked.

"Who?" Masde asked.

"Hannah all anyone loves and pay attention to her all the relatives, the family friend, all the kids, everyone here they only care about and love Hannah," Moridin said. "Why is this day all about her? Her birthday isn't until next year and everyone is so happy to see and her giving her wishes and hopes for her future and the future of the family, but Hannah wasn't born to us how is she family? I just don't get it why it is such a big deal or how she can be my cousin she isn't even really cousin Dree Elle's daughter she was just an unwanted kid," he said. "How is that family? It is just not fair I want attention to and I think my cousins might to but now they are also eager to be with Hannah even the babies," he said.

"I understand how you are feeling Moridin, but family isn't blood, and who you are born too," Masde said.

"It's not?" Moridin asked.

"No real family is love and we Trollans know that and that is how we do things in our customs and laws," Masde said. "Hannah is Dree Elle and Orko's daughter. So people become family by birth, some through blending two families, and others by adoption," she said. "I have several adopted children," she said. "I love them very much." She said. "I have many grandchildren and great grandchildren all either through birth or adoption and I love them," she said.

"Oh," Moridin said.

"Today is Hannah's welcome to your forever family party, it celebrates now she is officially apart of the family shortly after being adopted recently." Masde said. "Today is a day is meant to be about Hannah like a birthday celebration or a graduation celebration, her gotcha day staring next year will be all about her." She said. "So in other words it is okay to feel jealous or angry it is a normal feeling, but remember you are loved too and right now Hannah needs loves and attention to celebrate her finally having a family that she wanted." She said.

"Okay," Moridin said feeling better.

Hannah started to open her presents and got all kinds of neat things. She got all kinds of stuffed toys of animals, books, clothes and all kinds of neat things. She was happy to be able to have a family at last.

Everyone was happy Hannah was with them too. It was a great day.

Hannah went to bed tired and was sleeping soundly hold her stuffed anteater. She was sleeping and having a nice dream.

"Hi in today's story Moridin learned there are all kinds of families," Masde said. "He learned a family can be made in many ways, such as birth, blending and adoption," she said. "So no matter what kind of family you have consider yourself lucky because if they are the kind of family that is the kind you can depend on they are the best type of family," she said. "Until later," she said.
