"Dr. Faulkerson please proceed to the function room, Dr. Faulkerson to the function room please" a nurse paged from the nurse's station.
"Function room? What's in there?" Francis asked one of the nurses. She just shrugged her shoulders telling him she had no idea. So Francis went there anyway. As he opened the door:
Surprise!!!! Shouted everyone in the room. Ben, Albert and Sandra along with some staff of the Faulkerson Medical Center (FMC) in the Philippines.
"Oh my god you guys didn't tell me you're coming" says Francis
"We knew you wouldn't be able to come to Brooklyn on your birthdayso we decided to come here and surprise you. Thanks to Betty Mae here for taking care of us. So Happy Birthday!!!! Make a wish and blow the candle" says Ben
"Most of my wishes had already been granted including this small medical center that mama wants me to have. I don't know what more I can ask for. Well, I will blow the candle as thank you for all the blessings" Francis blows the candle.
Everyone claps and hugs Francis. Albert hugs him and:
"Thank you for everything you've done for me. You gave meaning to my life and made me see things the joy and happiness that were just right in front of me. The hotel and the cafe is doing so well. Thanks for trusting me with it. I love you brother. I missed you"
"I love you too. Thank you too for opening your heart to me. Life would've been better if not for your change of heart. I'm so proud and happy for you Albert. I see that bulging tummy of Sandra. You're going to be a father soon. I'm glad that you came" hugs Albert.
Sandra and Francis looked at each other and smiled. They hugged each other. "You are a wonderful person I'm so happy for you and my brother. I've never seen a woman who have so much love to give. I love you my sister in law" says Francis
"I always believe that one day we will all be this happy. It happened. Thank you for being there for me too. You're going to an uncle soon(touches her belly) say hi to your uncle Francis"
"Hey there little boy. I'm gonna see you soon. Oh he moved! Looks like he can't wait to see me" Everyone laughed.
"So how's my love doing? Even if you're busy you're still beautiful. I missed you" Ben kisses Francis.
"And you are as handsome as ever. I missed you too. This medical center is doing so well. We've helped a lot of people. Some donors are helping me out too. I will follow you back in the US as soon as everything is done here. Victoria needs a visit I missed her too" They kissed again.
Betty Mae calls out "Everyone come closer it's time for a group picture. Ok now say cheese!"
