Welcome home….

Hailey's mom: as we entered the house, it was all dark in the room. I wanted to ask him why it's all dark here but then I remembered I am not talking to him because he forgot to wish me at mid night 12. I was very disappointed in him. But before I could say anything suddenly, the lights were on and everyone came bouncing in front of us wishing me happy birthday. Even he wished me with all the kids. I was so overwhelmed with this beautiful surprise. "Thank you so much my lovely once. This means a lot to me." I turned towards him and said "you knew about this surprise plan."

Hailey's dad: "yes and I hope you are not going to give me any more silent treatment for not wishing you at midnight."

Hailey's mom: "Aww darling! I forgive you. and thank you."

Hailey: I went to mom and gave her a tight hug "I missed you so much mom, happy birthday."

Hailey's mom: "love! I missed you too. But, tell me one thing are you alright?"

Hailey: "yes mom, I am alright."

Hailey's mom: "you don't look fine sweety. Are you sure?"

Hailey: "yes mom now stop worrying about me and go get ready there is dress for you in your room and a suit for you too dad. The guest will be here within an hour and a half. So, go get ready quickly."

Hailey's mom: "ok we will be right back."

Hailey's dad: "I will go on one condition."

Hailey: "what is it dad?"

Hailey's dad: "I want a hug first. I feel like you didn't miss me at all. I am upset with this."

Hailey: "oh! Stop being dramatic dad. I love and you know I missed you." I gave him a hug. And then we all went in our rooms to get ready. To be honest I just wanted to stay in my bed for all day. But I had to do this for my mom. So, I grabbed one of the dress and putted on some nude make up on it. I was not myself today. I was trying too hard to be strong. Almost after one hour I went down. Shane was already down there all dressed up. And even my boys were waiting for mom and dad to arrive. I went and stood between all of them. And said "I must admit the temperature in here just got too hot with all of your presence." Everyone chuckled at my comment.

Brando: "boss I am sorry to say but you don't look yourself today. Can I do something for you?"

Hailey: "oh no Brando I am just a bit tired." As I was talking with the boys I saw rose and Nikolas entering the house. I and Shane went at the door and greeted them "Thank you for coming rose and Nikolas, I really appreciate you coming here today."

Nikolas: when I saw here coming towards us, my heart skipped a beat. Despite of all those dark circles and red eyes she was looking stunningly beautiful. "You look as stunning as always doll."

Mrs. Lincoln: "are you alright dear? Sorry for asking but you look a bit low today."

Hailey: "I am alright rose. Just something is going on in my head that's it. And thankyou Nikolas but I know I am not looking so good today."

Nikolas: "you will have to look from my eyes to know how beautiful you look."

Hailey: hearing those sweet words tears formed in my eyes. I know these sweet words are going to turn into swearing in few hours. I quickly looked away to hide my tears.

Nikolas: I don't know what was going on in her mind but whatever it was really hurting her. even a simple comment from me brought tears in her eyes. "Doll can I talk to you for a minute?"

Hailey: "we are going to have a long chat after this function. So can it please wait till then?"

Nikolas: "of course Doll, there is no hurry."
