Chapter 45

   I became paranoid after I saw the text. He really couldn't come here or could he? I started biting my lips in nervously. Should we just cancel the party and take her somewhere private? The knock on the door startled me out of my thoughts.

"Who's there?" I asked nervously.

"It's me, Tess." I heaved a sigh of relief as Evie rushed to open the door and it was truly Tess.

"Shay, what's up?" Kel asked and I showed him my phone.

He sighed and locked eyes with me. "Nothing is going to happen Shay, the security is going to be very tight, we're going to have her around us at all times. I promise you everything is going to be alright."

  "I hope so Kel. I hope so." I leaned closer to him for a hug.

"Don't be sad, now go get ready for the princess's party." He said playfully and I chuckled getting up to get the day running.

  The party was in full swing, everything was going on smoothly so far but I couldn't help but worry. I was always on the lookout for something or someone out of place. After all, the day hasn't ended yet. Evie came out dressed in her purple ball gown. She looked extraordinarily beautiful and I couldn't help but admire the wonder Kel and I had created.

"She's so beautiful." Kel said as we admired her.

   We had invited kids from a foundation Kel was a sponsor at and it felt nice seeing Evie interact with the kids and them being happy. Evie got to dress up as everything she wanted. Her cake was a pink castle and there were cupcakes of different colours with stickers of different princesses. Pictures were taken to serve as memories and in as much as I was so into the moment, I didn't let my guard down for one second. Nothing was going to happen to her, not on her birthday, not on our watch.
  
     The party ended and people were returning to their homes.
I was so glad that it was over and it was a success. My parents and Kel's mom and grandmother were present and it was really heart warming despite the fact that my parents didn't like Kel's mom. I was surprised she came but I'm glad she did, I noticed Kel's joy in seeing her although he tried hiding it.

"Kel my son, can I talk to you?" His mom came over as we talked about how nice the party had been.

"I'd be right back Shayan." He gave me a kiss on the cheek and went with her.

  I smiled and went to meet Evie, Tess was carrying her and they were talking about dresses. Tess had made all the dresses she wore, they had grown pretty close too.

"Your daughter is really amazing Shayan. I'm so blessed to have a niece like her." Tess smiled returning Evie to me.

"Thank you. I'm sure she's happy to have you around." I smiled carrying Evie.

  Evie started playing with my hair while rambling about all the amazing ride that she went on and I just smiled listening to her. I was just so glad to have  her, thankful that I had gone through with carrying her and had not aborted her. I was also grateful that Kel and I were finally okay and had put the past behind us and we were raising Evie with love.

"So you didn't get tired after all those rides?" I asked laughing.

"I am tired now but it was fun. I played with all the kids." She was so excited and I couldn't help but smile.

"I love you baby." I said kissing her cheeks.

"I love you too mummy. This is my best birthday ever. Daddy is in it and I had a lot of fun."

"I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself." I told her as she hugged me.

"Gosh I'm jealous, now I wish I have a kid." Tess said and Evie giggled.
