Family Ties

A Special 1st Birthday

Roberta's POV
We've been home now from Australia for almost two weeks. I've never been so busy in my life. The movie got nominated for 5 Awards . I got nominated for 5 Awards as well. I'm shocked. The Oscar's are around the corner and I'm already nervous. Well there's no need to he nervous today because today is a very special day.
A year ago I laid eyes on a human being that changed my entire life. Within this year she has shown and taught me so much about myself it's incredible. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!!!
Madelyn Sarai Reighn Jackson turns one today. Of course her father couldn't wait to plan her party. We are doing her party at my house. It's nothing but absolute fun. Like mines we are having water balloons and water guns. Over 80 people will be attending. After the party which part of it will end around 4 this afternoon we would head back to neverland and continue the fun. I hope she has fun even though she's turning one. Wow she's turning one....

Michael's POV
As Roberta is in her office arranging some things that are set to take place today I am in my baby girl room looking at her pictures on her dresser and on the wall. I remember when we got news that we were going to be parents for the first time. I remember how Roberta body changed because she was pregnant. I remember the day she went into labor which was a year ago today . I remember the flushed look on Roberta's face when she was pushing. I remember that look in her eyes when she pushed and didn't want to take her eyes off of me. I also remember the tears that Roberta cried when Lyn was laid on her chest. It was like they were trying to see who can scream the loudest . It was a beautiful moment. I love waking up to them two. The other day she took her first steps right here in this bedroom it was a magical moment. Roberta cried which made me cry which made Lyn cry we were a mess. But she walks now. She tries to talk too how funny. Because the rides are still being inspected and the inspection doesn't end until around 4 in the afternoon we are going to bring the party to Roberta's house. Then we'll give the kids a chance to play on the rides and stuff. Wow baby girl you're turning one today... Wow.. I think I'm so amazed at this because tomorrow I'll be turning 36 years old. I'm blessed completely to see this special milestones happen. I walk over to her crib and I'm met with these brown eyes that when she was born they were grey. I changed her and put her on the floor where she basically followed me around.
Roberta: where's my birthday girl?!
Lyn: hahahaha
Roberta: good morning my princess.
Lyn: mmm... Mmmm.... Mmm... Mama!!
Roberta: *gasp* .. Did you hear that Mike?!
Me: I heard it.. Lyn say it again
Lyn: *walks to roberta* mama.

The day didn't even start and we're in here crying... Lyn said her first word... She said mama. I am speechless. Let's get this day started....

Roberta's POV

Well what a treat. My little lady bug said her first word.... She said mama.... I'm proud.. She walks and talks soon she'll be going to school and want to play with her friends... Time really flies by...

After getting her dressed in her birthday outfit which is a blue and pink Jean jumper suit . With a pink short sleeve shirt with pink and white sandals . Her birthday clip . Ponytails with pink ribbons in it. A birthday tiara. Mike and I got dress and made our way downstairs. Grace had packed a bag for Lyn and we made our way to my house for a special birthday party...

5 hours later 🎂🎁🎀

Michael's POV
We are now back home in Netherland . We are in the back getting ready to get on rides. We are having a blast. She is having a blast. She got her face painted, she got balloons made, now we are going on many rides. She has gotten soaked so did Roberta who is also having a blast. From rebbie to Whitney everybody that is here is having fun. In about an hour we are going to come in to eat and then we are saying to happy birthday to our little girl.

Roberta's POV
Me: hey honey!!*spins Lyn around* are you having fun?

Lyn: *laughs and screams *

She is having a blast. I'm glad she is and every kid is enjoying themselves to including Say'ri who even came out. Bobbi Kris is having a blast as well. My niece and maleigha's and Micah's children as well. We are cleaning up from eating dinner and now we are getting ready to blow the candles. Her cake is a heart shaped strawberry cake with cream frosting on it and Happy 1st Birthday Madelyn on it. As well all gather around me and Mike hold her and then we sing another birthday song...

After it was all said and done we are thanking everyone who came out and giving the children goody bags. The last of the guest which are our parents are leaving and we are now heading up stairs and sitting in Lyn's room as she plays with her toys before bed. I sit and watch her with Mike because she's literally my reason for living. She changed my life in just one year and I can't wait for many more years to come and to watch her grow up and who knows she might grow with a sibling.. But who knows.

Michael's POV
After watching her she started getting sleepy and I once again watch Roberta put our baby to sleep and we are now in our room watching TV rather I'm watching TV by myself my baby is peacefully sleeping on my chest.
Life wouldn't be the same without these two in it.

Thank you god for this special day...
