The Daughters: Adopted by Renée Elise Goldsberry and Daveed Diggs

Alexandrea's Birthday

April 9
Alexandrea's POV
Ugh it's Monday, I think to myself as I reach over to check my phone. I had tons of notifications. As a began checking them, I realized today was my thirteenth birthday. I was about to get up and get changed for school when Daveed and Emmy come in and start singing happy birthday. "Aww thanks guys." I say, Emmy kissing me on the top of my head. "So, we have a surprise for you and you won't be going to school today or tomorrow because of it." Dad says. "Hallelujah." I say. "So, with the help of Nicole we were able to bring someone here for your birthday." Mom says. "Okay?" "Tomorrow you guys will be going to see Hamilton and tonight DEH." Dad says. "FINALLY!" I exclaim. Mom and Dad laugh. "Anyways, come on in." Mom says. In walks Elena, from my old school. "What are you doing here?" I ask. "Happy birthday!" She says. "Thanks." I say. "Well, we will let you guys get arranged." Emmy says and they leave.
That Night
Elena and I walk into the Music Box theater. It was both of our first times in there as well as seeing Dear Evan Hansen. I go in and get merch and we go and sit down. "So, what's this about? I've only ever seen the Lion King and Phantom." She says. "Wait and see." I say. We sit through out the show and she makes a lot of comments on everything and at intermission she goes and gets merch. Then after the show, we get to go backstage. Immediately, I accidentally bump into Will Roland, who Nicole used to have a crush on. I go over and instantly get him to consider meeting Nicole. I thank him and go meet the other cast members.
Tuesday Night
Daveed and Emmy take Elena and I to see Hamilton. Dad sits on the end with mom next to him, then me, then Elena. I was really excited to be seeing Hamilton for my first time. I knew Elena probably wouldn't be as interested in it as me, but still. Throughout the whole show she asked me who was who and what were there names and such. She was really confused. At the end, when we went on stage, I went over to find Mandy and Joanna. "Mandy? Joanna?" I ask. They come over to me. "Hi." They say, hugging me. "Listen, I know Nicole told you guys about what happened in October, but I wanted to tell you guys thank you for it." I say. "Of course." Mandy says. "Wait your the one she has talked about." Joanna says. I nod. "And your practically all she talks about." I say. "Yeah. I can tell." Joanna says. "She wanted me to tell you that she's mourning her youth and her lack of love." I say. "Of course she did." Joanna says sarcastically. We laugh. I hug Joanna and we leave. It was an amazing night.
