Chapter 53

November 27th 

Caroline's bedroom

"Buttons?" Jack whispered to his sleep daughter. She woke slowly. "Daddy?" she asked confused and slightly worried. "Buttons wake up" he gently shook her. "Why?"

"Why?" Jack asked surprised. "It's your birthday!" Jack reminded her. Caroline was instantly out of bed and into the Yellow Oval Room, with Jack following. 

Yellow Oval Room

From her parents, the birthday girl received two porcelian dools, a book about ponies, a few fairy books and some dressing up clothes. From John, he presented her with a painting set and from her other siblings, some more books except on Princesses. Caroline was delighted. She hugged all of them. "Thank you so much!" She was extremely overjoyed. "I am so happy!" She squeaked much to the delight of everyone. 

Diplomatic Reception Room

Caroline arrived downstairs to greet her friends in a new dress she had received from her aunt Lee and some new shoes newly presented to her by Jack at the last minute. 

They played games, and talked and also Jackie snapped some photographs of Caroline with her guests. "Look at my two little movie-stars" Jackie joked as Caroline and her friend Lucy striked some red-carpet poses. 

Soon enough, the lights went down and everyone sang Happy Birthday. Caroline gazed at everyone around her before looking down on her 'gorgeous looking' cake. "Thank you so much" Caroline whispered to her mother who was standing behind her. "Not a problem darling" Jackie smiled. "Not a problem, at all!" Jack added.
