**Chap35**- Celebrations part 1, Cake
Danny opened the door to a roar of laughter, ‘They’re here!’ Louie said as he passed Stella a drink.
‘Hey Danny,’ Stella said as she walked over to hug him, ‘we thought you’d all done a runner!’
‘Nice to see you made it Stel,’ Danny took off his jacket as Flack came up behind Stella,
‘Hey Flack, are we still going to the hoops tomorrow morning?’
‘Yep,’ Flack said as he shook his best friends hand.
Lindsay giggled as Mac passed her to Stella, ‘hello Lindsay, how’s my special niece?’
‘cccaaakk!’ Lindsay squealed as everyone laughed.
‘Ok sweetie,’ Danny said as Stella passed Lindsay over, ‘but first we need to have lunch first ok?’
‘Finally,’ Flack said followed by a head slap delivered from Stella, ‘What?’
10 minutes later everyone was sitting on the sofas with plates on there laps eating a range of buffet food that Angie had made and brought for their little get together.
‘Mrs Messer this is amazing, Danny why haven’t you given me any of this good stuff before?’
Angie blushed, ‘Thank you Adam but remember what I said it’s Angie to all of you.’
Adam's ears turned red as he took another bite of the homemade sausage roll that was on his plate.
Mac turned around towards Louie, ‘So Louie how’s the promotion?’
‘It’s great, finally all those extra hours I put in are paying off. The extra money is defiantly going to help in the future and the more flexible hours are an extra bonus! We’ve just started hunting for a bigger house so all is good at the moment.’
‘I can’t believe what you were like when I first met you.’
‘I know it’s scary really but what can I say, I’m a changed man! To be honest I never thought I’d thank Sonny for nearly killing me but I do!’ Louie laughed as took another sip of his beer.
‘Well all I can say is at least he’s locked up and out of the way!’ Angie said from across the room.
Danny who had been watching the exchange between Mac and his brother had to laugh at his mother’s sudden input. Of course everyone was glad that Sonny was behind bars but being the mother of the family made Sonny a touchy subject for her.
Danny turned his attention to his two best friends. Stella and Flack were seated furthest away from him and they were completely oblivious to everyone else’s conversation around them. They reminded Danny of how he and Lindsay used to behave but only he knew that something was going on between them. Flack had told him about six months ago that they were starting to date and in Danny’s opinion it was about time! Danny knew for a fact that everyone in the room suspected that something was going on between the two but know one ever questioned it. For both Flack and Stella this relationship was serious especially after their previous experiences and he was happy that they were happy.
Danny who had just finished cleaned up Lindsay and picked her up. Unnoticed by his guests, who were now all in deep conversation, he headed down the hall towards Lindsay’s room to change her.
‘What are we going to do with those to eh?’ Danny asked Lindsay as she sucked her fist.
‘They should really just tell everyone shouldn’t they sweetie? Before they get themselves in a sticky situation and can’t get out of it.’ Lindsay giggled, ‘If they get any closer to each other there they might as well tell everyone what going on before they are do something they shouldn’t be doing!’
‘Anyway, that’s you done; now let’s go and get that cake!’
‘caaaakkk!’
Danny put Lindsay down as he entered the living room who waddled over to her Uncle Mac and climbed up on to his knee as Stella and Kate began to collect every ones plates, ‘Can I get anyone another drink? Before I get the cake.’
There was a wave of yeses and Louie stood up, ‘I’ll come and help you Dano.’
They walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge to grab bottles of beer and other drinks.
Danny grabbed the wine and then grabbed two glasses, ‘Luce is drinking her usual right?’
‘Erm no she’s erm drinking orange,’ Louie replied not looking up.
Danny looked at his brother, ‘Why?’ He opened the fridge and grabbed the juice.
‘erm she’s not feeling to well today.’
Danny stopped what he was doing and lent on the counter, ‘She’s pregnant isn’t she?’
Louie went red, ‘No!’
‘Come on Lou, you’ve always been a crap lair. Someone’s going to a Daddy aint they?’
‘Shhh keep your voice down ok!’ Dany smiled, ‘I admit we think she might be yeh but she’s going to the doctors this week. So just shut up about would you, Ma would kill me if she knew you knew before her!’
‘Don’t worry Bro you’re secrets safe with me. Will you get the cake ready? I’m just off to give Luce her Orange Juice!’
Louie nodded, ‘This is going to be a nightmare!’
Danny walked over to Lucy and handed over here drink, ‘Here’s your orange juice Luce.’ Danny said with a wink which was followed by a call from the kitchen, ‘Dannnyy!!!’
‘Daniel what’s up with your brother?’ Angie asked.
‘He’s just doing the cake ma, we’re ready Louie bring it in.’
Danny grabbed Lindsay and say on the sofa next to Angie as Louie dimmed the lights and walked in with the cake, ‘Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to Lindsay…..Happy Birthday to yooouuu!’
Louie put the cake down and Danny helped blow the candle out as Lindsay clapped, ‘cccaaakkkk!!!’
