That's Mr. Finn to You || Caleb Finn (re-editing)

31. "Happy Birthday to Me"

*May 18th, 2019*

Caty Jones' POV

Happy Birthday to me. I am officially nineteen years old. I am six months pregnant and I'm getting Cassandra a gift. The house Cassandra and I live in, is pet friendly. So, I got her a kitten. He's gray and really lovable and I think she'll love him. I bring him into Cassandra's room while she's sleeping. He starts licking her face which causes her to wake up. She smiles petting the kitten until she sees me in the door.

"Whose this?" She asked me holding him while he rubs up on her.

"He's yours. I figured since... after what happened a couple days ago... and I'm leaving in two or three weeks.... You would have him to keep you company," I tell her. She's already crying and it's nine in the morning.

"Caty, it's your birthday," She gets up setting the kitten down on her bed rushing towards me to hug me. I hug her back because I can't believe I'm admitting this. But, I'm afraid to leave. I have Cassandra and Caleb but unfortunately that wasn't fully enough to have me stay.

"I know. But, I wanted to be nice," I reply. She smiles at me before turning to see the kitten sleeping on her bed comfortably.

"We're having a party at Caleb's. For you," I shake my head side to side. I don't even think Caleb knows about my birthday.

"Well, suck it up. Plus, with you moving out soon-"

"Actually... I'm going to take my clothes and my comforter and some of my sketch things with me. I want you to put the rest of my stuff at Caleb's or have him get a storage to put my stuff in," She nods.

"Let's get ready. We're going out for lunch, on me!" Cassandra exclaims.

"Okay," I respond. She squeals as she drags me to my bedroom to help me pick an outfit for today.

"Cassandra, this is ridiculous," I say to her as we walk through the mall. She shakes her head side to side as we're walking somewhere. I decided to ask, "Where are we going?"

"You'll see," She said. I got tired and my back was hurting so I stopped walking just to catch my breath. She turns at some point noticing I was behind. "Oh!" She rushes for me. Once she gets to me.. She rubs my back which is soothing to me.

"I just needed to catch my breath, Cass," She nods.

"I forgot you were pregnant," I shake my head at her laughing. It's kind of obvious now that I am with a bump showing.

"Okay, let's continue," I say as we both continue walking. Then I see it. Caleb Finn is holding a huge teddy bear standing there. I walk towards him hugging him with his free arm.

"Happy Birthday, Caty," He mumbled in my ear. I smiled as I felt him kiss my cheek before pulling away.

"Thank you!" I feel like bursting into tears. Caleb and Cassandra were truly the greatest people in my life.

-

"Happy Birthday, Caty!" I hear everyone yell as soon as I walked into Caleb's place. I yelled 'thank you' and to let the birthday party continue. I walk into the backyard to see both my parents. My Dad instantly hugs me but not too tight due to my big belly. My Mum just gives me a fake smile.

"Can we talk?" My Mum asked. I nodded as we both walked up the steps. I notice Caleb when he makes eye contact with me I motion for him to follow behind. We both walk into a guest bedroom that's close to Caleb's room.

"Did you miss me?" I asked her. She smiled then slapped me hard across the face. I look at her in shock holding my face.

"What the hell were you thinking? Hooking up with your professor! You could put his job in jeopardy," She yelled at me. I felt my eyes water as she hits me in the face harder then the last.
