Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Clara's Birthday

Mom has finally given birth to a bouncing baby boy yesterday yay!! Today is my birthday, and am so excited. Mom couldn't help us to get the house ready for my party, so we hired someone. Me, Charlotte, Grace and Isabelle were setting the house up with the hired maid. Mom came downstairs with my little brother.

"Everything is beautiful. But don't you think, this should go over there, and this over her?" Mom said explaining how we should reset things, like she always do.

"Mom we have everything under control, relax." Clara said.

"Okay whatever you say, but It will look better over there." Her mom repeated illustrating how it should be.

"Mom, why don't you go into the kitchen and help while I take my baby brother." Clara said and as she tapped her mom on her shoulder and carried the baby.

"Okay whatever you say." Her mum said, and went to the kitchen to join Grace's mom. She volunteered to help us bake the cake and mom was so happy.

"Aww, your baby brother is so cute." Grace said as she touched his nose.

"Don't start flattering him, he's still a baby." Clara said.

"She right. With his beautiful hair and rare silver eyes." Isabelle said.

"Yes Clara all they are saying is true." Charlotte chipped in.

"You girls are really naughty." Clara said. And the four girls burst out laughing.

"Maybe, when he enters high school he will be the school's heartthrob." Isabelle said with a light chuckle.

"Yeah that's right, and he looks just like you." Charlotte said.

"Girls it's enough with your jokes." Clara said stroking her brother's hair.

"We actually mean it Clara he looks like you." Isabelle said.

"Whatever you say. Who can win you girls in an argument? 'NO ONE'." Clara said, and they all laughed.

"You know we need to get you a new dress." Charlotte said.

"Yes that's true. Let's go, I believe the maid will be able to complete the work, it's not much, I'll give mom the baby." Clara said.

"Good idea." Isabelle said.

In the kitchen......

"Mom me and the girls are going to the boutique to get new dresses, do you mind if I the maid help with the last preparation?" Clara said.

"Okay no problem." Her mom said."

"Thanks mom." Clara said and gave her mom the baby, then pecked her, then left.

In the boutique…

"Oh wow, Clara this would be beautiful on you. Go try it on." Isabelle said.

"No way am wearing that." Clara said.

"Oh come on birthday girl, just try this on." Isabelle pestered. The gown Isabelle was pestering Clara to wear was a purple gown designed with white, it seemed more like a ball gown to Clara, but it was beautiful.

"How about you try it on, it would be beautiful on you." Clara said.

"Me? Am not as beautiful as you." Isabelle said surprised.

"Yes, you would be perfect in it. Go try it on." Clara said.

"Okay." Isabelle said, and went into the dressing room. The girls had agreed that they would all were long gowns for the party. A minute later Isabelle came out with the beautiful purple gown. And they were all speechless.

"Wow Isabelle you look stunning." Clara said.

"Oh thank you." Isabelle said and her cheeks flushed red.

"Your welcome." Clara said.

"Where are the others?" Isabelle asked.

"Oh they are on the hunt for their own dresses, so I decided to stay back and wait for you." Clara explained.

"Oh that's very nice of you. But it's your birthday so you have to go find your own dress. I will come meet you girls soon." Isabelle said.

"Okay." Clara said and walked away looking for her dress. While walking her eyes caught a glimpse of a dress that was very far away. It was the only one in the wrack and it looked gorgeous from afar so she went to check it out. And 'OMG' the gown was wonderful. The gown was a mixture of red fading to gold, had wonderful little designs on it. She immediately took the gown, with one look she knew it was perfect. Walking back to the dress room, she met a flabbergasted Charlotte and Grace walking up to her, with their own gowns in hand, going to check it out.

"Wow." Charlotte and Grace said at once.

"This is amazing Clara. Are there any other pair there?" Grace asked anxiously.

"No this was the only one left." Clara said.

"Oh no." Grace said.

"Let's o try our gowns, I already got a call form mom." Clara said, and they kept on walking to the dressing room. When Clara wore the cloth, they were all stunned.

"Oh my gosh." Was the reaction on their faces.

"You look absolutely amazing." The ladies that were changing in there praised her.

"Thank you. I think were done, now let's go look for matching heels for our dresses." Clara said.

"Oh perfect." Isabelle said. And they went in search of shoes. When they were done they headed home. Clara dropped Grace and Isabelle at their houses while, Charlotte and Clara went back to her house. Once they got home, Charlotte went into the guest room, while Clara went into her room, and wanted to hurriedly take her bath but she thought of something else and rushed downstairs to meet her mom.

"Mom." Clara screamed running down the stairs.

"Yes darling, what's wrong?" Her mother asked.

"Could Charlotte and I go to the girls only bath house, then after that we would go to spa. Please mom." Clara begged.

"Umm, okay dear." Her mom said.

"Thanks mom." Clara said and rushed to the guest house to inform Charlotte, then they drove to the bath house with their gowns. When they were done with having a warm shower, they went to the spa and got their makeups done, when they were done with Clara she looked breath taking, and the way they arranged her hair made her even more captivating.

"Wow!!" Charlotte exclaimed after seeing Clara then chuckled.

"What's the problem? All these make-up is making me too uncomfortable don't you think I don't need it?" Clara said with sheer disappointment.

"What's the problem? You look breath-taking." Charlotte said.

"You too Charlotte, you look awesome." Clara said.

"Aww, thank you." Charlotte said.

"Now let's go." Clara said.

"Yeah." Charlotte said and hopped into the car. And Clara drove.

When they reached home...…...

"Hey mom we're back." Clara called out for her mother.

"Okay dear, I'll be down in a minute." Her mom said.

"Oh, my God!" Was her others reaction after seeing Clara.

"Too much make-up right? I knew it." Clara said frustrated.

"Oh, it's not that, It's just that you and Charlotte look breath taking." Her mom said.

"Oh okay. Thanks mom, I will go wear my dress now." Clara said and went up to her room, and Charlotte went to the guest room, while with the instruction of her mother, the maid followed Clara to help her. Clara carefully wore her dress with the help of the maid Patricia in order not to spoil her hair and her makeup. Clara like Patricia, she was helpful, friendly, and beautiful. She was older that Clara with a year or more.

"Aren't you getting ready for my party?" Clara asked Patricia once she was done helping her get dressed.

"No am not, even if I was I have nothing to wear." Patricia said.

"Yes you are, I got this gown for you. I am sure it would fit properly. Go try it on." Clara said.

"No thank you so much Clara but I refuse. I can't accept this." Patricia said.

"I insist." Clara said not giving up.

"Hmm okay." Patricia said defeated, took the gown and went to try it on in the bathroom, and it fit perfectly.

"Oh my gosh. It's not just beautiful, it's amazing." Clara said.

"Thank you so much Clara." She said and rushed forward to hug Clara.

"Your welcome." Clara said and hugged her back.

"This is so kind of you." Patricia said after she pulled away from the hug.

"It's nothing, you're like an elder sister to me, so it's nothing." Clara said.

"Thank you." Patricia said.

"You are welcome, now take this necklace and watch it matches perfectly." Clara said, as she stretched out to put it on her neck.

"Wow." Patricia said as he looked at herself in the mirror she was speechless.

"You like it right?" Clara asked.

"I love it. I have to go now." Patricia said.

"Oh okay. But before you go, I almost forgot. Take these matching heels too." Clara said and held out the heels for her.

"Wow. Thanks so much." Patricia said, and pecked Clara on the cheek.

"You are highly welcomed; I'll be down in a minute. Clara said.

"Ok." Patricia said and close the door. Few seconds later Clara got downstairs.

"You look absolutely amazing." Her mother said once she saw her.

"Thank mama." Clara said. "How about Charlotte?" Clara asked.

"Here I am." Charlotte sad from behind.

"You look beautiful." Clara said.

"And you look amazing." Charlotte said, and they both laughed.

"Here's my gift for you dear friend." Clara said and handed her a box.

"Thanks Charlotte." Clara said.

"Happy birthday to the birthday girl." Charlotte said.

"I will go keep this up in my room
