It was early in the morning, when Thatch slipped out of his bed, out on his slippers and headed to get ready in the bathroom. Then sun was still under the horizon, even if it was 6 am, but it was November and the days still getting darker and darker. He didn’t mind that much, light or not, he was still getting up this early to make breakfast for everyone.
Turning on the radio, he got started, knowing that son others would join him to prepare this special breakfast for their sister, who was still peacefully sleeping upstairs. He smiled to Haruta, who was the next person to enter the kitchen. The brown haired male smiled back, before getting a drink. Then he left for the dining room to get everything set in there.
At 7 am, Marco and Izo joined them. Thatch was still working on breakfast, he was making buns, cinnamon rolls and pancakes. Everything needed to be ready at 8.30 am, where their sister would be woken up with a birthday song.
Chattering, Marco and Izo joined Haruta in setting the table and decorate the dining room for the birthday celebration. Ace joined them later, still half-asleep, much to their amusement. The five of them and their sister was the only ‘kids’ still living at home. All the others had their own space, but would come around 8 am.
“Where do I put the gift?” Speed Jiru was the first brother to arrive and he got a large package in his arms. Marco helped him to the gift table, six gifts already on it. Whitebeard was in the kitchen, helping Thatch with the last stuff. It didn’t take long before the last 11 brothers had arrived, five of them also bringing their s/o’s and kids.
Whitebeard gazed at the time and gestured to all that it was time. Even the youngest new when to be quiet, as they all walked up the stairs. It was Whitebeard knocking on the door and upon hearing a tired ‘come in’, he opened the door to let everyone inside.
Sitting up, hair messy and drowsy eyes, Didi blinked at the people entering her rather small bedroom. Before she could even ask what was up, they started to sing ‘Happy birthday’. Smiling brightly, she looked touched at each single one of them. While she did knew it was her birthday, she just didn’t think EVERYONE would be there to wake her up with a song. It made her feel so loved.
“Awww thank you.” She was moved to tears. The kids run to her bed and jumped onto it, giving her hugs and cheek kisses, making her chuckle happily. The clicking of cameras didn’t bother her, it was nice to have pictures as proof of this small and pure happy moment.
“Breakfast will be finished in around half an hour, so freshen up, sis.” Thatch smiled, as the kids were called back. Soon she found herself alone in the room and she gave herself a moment to snuggle under her blanket. A few minutes later, she was under the shower, just for a quick bath, as she didn’t have that much time.
When she came downstairs, she went to hug each single one of her brothers and their s/o’s, before giving Whitebeard the biggest hug. The small of fresh baked buns, cinnamon rolls and pancakes filled the room and she smiled brightly at the large breakfast table.
“Happy birthday, Didi.” Whitebeard smiled, before making her sit at the end of the table, a place reserved for the her. It would normally be him and Marco sharing the end of the tables, but today she was allowed to sit on Marco’s spot. He was seated next to her and Izo to the other side.
Soon everyone was chattering and eating. Didi eyed the gift table, curious what they got her, but not really having the need to open them. All she wanted and wished for was at the table. Her family gathered together, happy, healthy and safe. She had a home and a family.
