MACKIE (A Céline Dion FanFiction)

A Birthday Gift

A month had finally passed. Everything is ready for her birthday. The whole Family is there and Renè's too. RC bought a really beautiful maroon scarf for her Mama's birthday gift and as for the twins, a big Hawaiian hat and a spartan sandals.

It's not a big party, it is indeed exclusively for the family just the way she wants it to be. Few friends are also invited. Barbra is there as well as Oprah and David. They can't miss this birthday at all. It's the casual one because she insisted for it.

"Happy Birthday to you... Happy Birthday to you..." they all sing as soon as she went out to the main room of the mansion. She's all smiles and everyone else too. Her hands folded in front of her chest, grateful for everyone who came in.

Manon baked a cake for her and brought it closer to her for a wish.

"Make a wish..." she said.

She closed her eyes. Renè knew definitely what her wish would be and today, at her birthday, he hoped to make something about it.

"Happy Birthday, My dear!" Greeted Barbra with a kiss on her cheek. She's been an older sister to Céline ever since that collaboration at '98. She love her that she's like a real sister and took her as RC's godparent!

"Thank you so much for being here, Barbs. Means a lot to me."

"But of course! Wouldn't miss this for the world." She cheered. She's been with her for a lot of years and she knew her. Céline has something inside she's keeping and Barbra thinking it too private, she would definitely not ask and be intrusive. But making sure she knows her big sister is always there to listen.

"Enjoy your day, honey." Another kiss and she walk to the other friends to ask them how they're doing.

Oprah's been complimenting the scarf that RC gave her as gift. It's Gucci and the one she actually liked. But she has the green one so whatever.

"I love to get the maroon but Sharon bought me the green one saying the last one's been bought. Didn't know it was RC who did!" She laughed.

"We both know you can have them made one especially for you right?" She knew her friend and she can have whatever she likes. Branded things, real estates and everything else.

"I'm controlling, Céline. I'm having a new foundation instead. Made me feel a lot better than Oscar dela Renta's or LV."

She's happy for her friend. Oprah has been known to have a lot of foundations but this woman is hell rich! Must've ran out of places and things to buy.

"Well, your son sure has taste with those huh?"

"He probably saw me checking it out from the store last 2 months ago. He's a better observant."

There's so much who went to talk to her. David went and kidded about starting another album too soon, Humberto being kidded on another child and Manon for a bakeshop.

"The cakes are really good, Manon. I see a bakeshop being opened at the end of the month eh?" Kidded Eddie.

"You know I've been the best, Ed." She kidded back.

It's been a month since she insisted the investigation to Renè. And a month of sleeping better. She's been getting herself ready for the news, for a month. But seems like, getting closer to the date just exemplified her nervousness more towards it. She threw herself away from the main room where everybody is enjoying and looked at the orange horizon. It's almost dawn again. The happier days are ending.

But then, that's how it has always been.

She's always been the tough woman in the eyes of everybody. But she never lied during the rough times at her shows. It's even broadcasted! But she come to think that the public eye can have all the things they wanted from her, but not this way.
