Chapter 237
Nicol
I could see my child was being overwhelmed with all the gifts and the prices of the gifts. She was used to small gifts with small price tags but this birthday, Nicolas was giving her everything a teenage girl would ever want from a phone to a laptop and Isabella and Geoffrey was so sweet to give her the ballerina shoes, she’s always wanted a pair I just never had the money to buy it for her and since I did have money I just forgot about it. Am I a bad mother? Some will say probable but I don’t think so. When I got her her water and went to sit with her after I explained to Nicolas why she was overwhelmed I gave her a gift I bought her it was silly and didn’t cost a lot but at least this will feel safe, she hasn’t even opened her laptop yet. “This is from me angel.” She didn’t rip the paper this time she slowly open the gift, inside was a cellphone holder with beads and ballerina’s she could hang the phone around her neck or just keep the beads as a decoration piece. When she saw what it was, she smiled this time a real smile she threw her arms around me “Thank you mom.” “My pleasure angel, I will never let you forget where you came from.” “Thank you I really appreciate it.” “Who wants that piece of cake?” Isabella asked. “Yes please.” Nikki said as she took the cake from Isabella, a few minutes later Isabella walked into the living room with a cup of coffee for Nicolas and a tea for me. “Thanks Isabella.” Nikki was eating her cake and Nicolas was watching her like a hawk. I know he wants her to open his other present but I needed him to wait just for a few minutes longer. I just need Nikki to find herself again before she goes on.
She was halfway through her piece of cake before she said “Dad can I open my other gift now?” “Yes, off course you can.” Nicolas took the big box and gave it to her. He was sitting on her other side while she open the box. I could see Nicolas was getting a bit antsy he wanted her to go faster but she was taking her time, she was taking of the paper as carefully as she could, like we will use the paper again, when the gift was finally open, she was in total shock “A computer?” she asked “Not just any computer it’s a Apple Pro in rose gold.” Nicolas took the box from her and took the laptop out of the box giving her the laptop. “Wow.” She said still not sure what to do. Nicolas got a bit unsure of himself when he asked “Don’t you like it?” Nikki looked at him like he grown another head. “Off course I like it, it’s just…….” “Just what sweet pea?” “It’s so expensive.” “Don’t you worry about the money okay; there is no reason for you to ever worry about money again. I can afford it and that is why I bought it.” “Okay.” Nikki sounded a bit unsure but Nicolas took her in his arms and hugged her so tightly. “Sweet pea seriously, your mom and you are with me now and we don’t need to worry about money. I can buy you whatever you want.” “Even a pony?” “With in bounds sweet pea.” She smiled and started to tease him “You said anything.” “Well, if we lived on a farm I wouldn’t have said yes but we are not living on a farm, are we?” “No.” Nikki threw her arms around Nicolas again, “Thank you for all my gifts.” “It’s my pleasure sweet pea.” Then she threw her arms around me and hugged me “Thank you mom.” I gave her a kiss on the forehead “Pleasure angel. Now can we go and get some breakfast the baby is hungry.” That got Nicolas into gear he walked toward me and helped me from the coach. “Let’s go feed you and the baby.”
Nicolas
The day went by so fast before we knew what was happening all the girls where in the house and it was totally nothing like I expected. I didn’t think a few girls can be this loud. Never in my life did I think it would be this chaotic but it was and I had to deal with it. At least Nicol and I could hide in the room and just made sure that they where okay, the beauticians where busy with their mani and Pedi’s and then I have ordered them pizza’s which will probable be here in the next hour. I laid my head back on the pillow. Nicol came hovering over me “You are regretting your decision?” I looked at her then I looked away. “Come on Nicolas tell me?” “Yes, okay I am, how can a few girls be so load I wish it’s tomorrow already.” Nicol looked at her watch. “’Sorry to tell you it’s a long way until tomorrow 10 am.” “Fuck did we make it 10 am?” “We did.” I must have dozed of because I was woken up by the doorman calling saying that the pizza’s were here. I asked them to send it up and went to the front door. Nicol came with me. She grabbed our pizza which we will be eating in our room, to stay out of the girl’s way while I took the pizzas to the living room. “Here you go girls.” They all looked so cute waving their fingers to dry their nail polish. “Thanks dad.” Nikki said. The others didn’t say a word. I don’t want this for Nikki; I want her to stay the sweet and thankful child she is. I should probably tell Nicol and we will need to get a balance giving her so many gifts were probable not the start to her being grounded and thankful but you can’t count this year this year was our first year and I had to make up for the other 11 I’ve missed.
