Chapter 2:Birthday's Excitement Preparation

It had been 7 long years since their father's death, he had fought back death for so long just so he could survive but it seems like fate was the one who decided the winner of this battle.

Omisha was now 11 years old becoming 12, while Chris was 17 and both have been very sad ever since their father was gone and both desperately tried to make their mother happy again whenever she remembered him.

Today, it was going to be a special, happy day though, it was Omisha's 12th birthday and oh boy was she like your typical excited for her birthday kid.

Omisha woke up early in the morning and yawned then stretched, she looked at the calendar and got excited as she was last night when she realized her birthday was today. She got out of bed, brushed her teeth and combed her hair then ran to her brother's room (with her pajamas on) and then jumped wildly on his bed while yelling.

"BIG BROTHER, BIG BROTHER, BIG BROTHER!!!" she shouted with such excitement in her voice. "COME ON, COME ON!!! WAKE UP!! IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!" she was so happy that she couldn't even tell how loud she was until her mother came in the room to see her jumping while Chris was trying to sleep cause of his Senior Highschool studies.

The mother chuckled softly and walked to Omisha as she softly tells her. "Omisha, sweetie, isn't it a bit too early in the morning to be this excited?" she asked her with a soft voice as Omisha stopped jumping and looked at her mother with a small pout. "sorry mama... I think I got a bit too excited.... Hehe" Omisha awkwardly scratched behind her head as she smiled, her mother giggling and she let her off Chris's bed. "your brother needs sleep, he's been studying very hard, I'll bake a cake and you can help me out later this afternoon, alright??" "Yay!! Thanks mama!" Omisha smiled with joy as she hugged her mother.

"of course! It's your birthday and I want to make it the best birthday you've had" her mother told her as she smiled with delight. her daughter then pulled away from the hug and started to go in her bedroom to make invites for everyone she wanted to invite.

it was such a surprise that at this age, she acted like a child, it was almost as if she forgot about all the sadness and worry of the world without her own father being there to celebrate her birthday with his family.

A few hours have gone by, her mother was prepping the batter for the cake as Chris and Omisha were helping their mother by getting the baking materials their mother tells them to get like the icing bags and icing tips, bowls, teaspoons and table spoons then a rubber spatula.

"Chris, get the baking pans from the top cabinet, please" "Yes, Mother" Chris replied as he went to one of the top cabinets to get two of the baking pans while Omisha went beside her mother to watch her mix and prep the batter with the electric mixer.

"The cake pans are on the counter, mama" Chris tells to his mother as he gets the cream and milk and food coloring for the home-made icing.

"Thank you, Chris, That's very kind of you" his mother smiled softly at him as he nodded and smiled back, "it's what I do, Mother, I help out for my family" Chris said to his mother as he puts the other stuff on the kitchen counter for his mother to use on the cake, Omisha was still watching her mother mix the batter, making it smooth with no lumps and bumps to be seen.

"Omisha, this is how you make cake batter, you have to make sure it stays smooth so the cake will look freshly baked and taste just right after it has been in the oven for over 30 - 35 minutes. alright?" she tells her daughter as she moved the electric mixer part up from the bowl and grabbed it, she walked to the kitchen counter, where Chris was at, the Mother then pours the smooth batter in one of the cake pans .

"Momma, do you think I can join the beauty pageant this year?" she asks her Mother "Beauty Pageant?? but why would you ever want to join?" her mother asked with curiosity, Omisha shyly looked away and replied with "w-well, I see a lot of p-pretty girls there so...I wanted to join and be pretty as well" Omisha 's mother softly chuckled as Chris giggled and says "Well maybe you can join by December." Chris tells to his little sister as she smiled in glee "hooray!!"

to this optimistic reaction coming from the girl, Chris only happily sighed as their mother smiled brightly.

after a while later, The mother was putting the last touches to the cake while her son and daughter played outside in the garden.

Chris cannot wait to give his gift for his sister tonight at the party.

He only wants his sister happy, after all!
