Take Good Care Of My Baby-Sequel to You,Me and Baby

Chapter 78- Learning Something Unexpected

  "You know Sergio, I've sort of come accustom to my toes being in one piece" Molly joked as the Sevillen muttered yet another apology for standing on her foot. "You can't salsa to this music" he huffed. "Or maybe some people can't dance to any type of music" Ana smirked as she danced beside them. "She's just trying to annoy you Sergio. And you're not doing too bad" Molly said. "Hey Ana I'm just trying to help Molly recover from her shock" Sergio said to Ana. "I wasn't in shock" Molly said. "Ya you were" Sergio said tapping her nose. "Well I wasn't expecting all of this" she gestured to the house fill of people.

She was dumbstruck that people had come. That they had remembered her birthday. Sure she had received birthday messages during the day from Iker and the others but she hadn't expected any of this. "Well I'm just happy we have an excuse to party" Sergio said. "And for you to hold Molly" Ana whispered into his ear when Molly was distracted for a moment. "Shut up" Sergio replied. "Did you just tell me to shut up?" Molly asked. "No of course not. Never mind. Let's dance ladies" Sergio said taking Ana by the hand to twirl her making the women laugh.

Everyone remembered. Her parents had. Jorge had. Everyone had Molly thought. Well not everyone she thought her eyes on Cristiano. He had arrived ages ago with Irina naturally and hadn't even bothered to come speak to her. Who comes to a birthday party and not wish the birthday girl happy birthday? He had just sat in the kitchen not even looking at all bothered to be at the party. "Are you having fun?" Ana asked Molly as Sergio tried to dance with Anderia.

"A lot" Molly replied looking at Cristiano. "Wait till you see the cake" Ana smiled blocking Molly's view. "What is it?" Molly asked. "You'll have to wait and see" Ana smirked. "I can't wait. I should go say hi to everyone" Molly said. "It's your birthday people should come say hi to you. If they care enough to bother" Ana said. "So karaoke" Molly said. "Best idea ever" Sergio said to her. "We'll see by the end of the night when you've heard everyone sing" Molly said. "Let's hear you sing" Sergio said. "Hell no" Molly said to him. "Aww go on Molly" he said. "Not a chance Ramos. Now stop asking or I'll stop being delighted that you did all of this" Molly said. "Stopping" he said.

Molly stood in the middle of the room watching as Ana came towards her with a cake in her hands as the room broke out in song. "Chocolate" Molly smiled at Ana. "What else?" Ana smiled. "You know me too well" Molly said. "Now make a wish" Ana said. Molly paused to think. Make a wish she thought. What should she wish for? It would never come true she thought. "Molly this cake is heavy" Ana said and Molly looked up. "Oh sorry. Right here it goes" Molly said blowing out the candles to applause.
"So what did you wish for?" Sergio Katia asked Molly. "Can't tell you that" Molly half smiled. "I know, I know it won't come true if you do" Katia laughed and Molly nodded. It wouldn't matter if she did tell what she had wished for. It was never going to come true anyway. She was never going to be a part of a family.

"Oh Molly you are so gorgeous and young" Anderia said as Molly hugged her friend. It was late and most of the party guests had left. Cristiano had left at some point without even saying goodbye. He didn't even try to talk to her all night Molly thought.

"Let's get you to bed" Fabio said trying to put Anderia's coat around her. "I liked the sound of that. You out those clothes" Anderia giggled at her husband. "Ok let's go before you keep talking" Fabio said as Molly opened the door. "Noite" Molly said smiling. "Noite. Happy Birthday again Mols" he said as he walked his wife out through the door.

"What are you smiling at?" Ana asked as Molly came towards her at the kitchen table. "Anderia is going to have a sore head in the morning" Molly laughed. "She may have over done it" Ana said. "Just a little" Molly said and both women laughed. "Oh someone get Sergio to turn off the electricity quickly" Nuno groaned coming to stand beside Molly. "Why?" Molly asked. "It might be the only way to get Marcelo off the karaoke machine" Nuno said.
