This is the final post in the prologue. Looking forward to Chapter 1!
David: Hey Amelia! Do you think the balloons look good like this or should I put more over there?
Amelia: What do I look like, a party planner? Just leave them where they are, no one will notice them anyway.
Patrice: Whoa, the balloons look great! Don't you think you should put more on the other side though?
Solomon: I have to say, we really pulled this off. Cece's going to love it.
Amelia: Our girl is lucky to have so many people in her life that love her.
David: We're lucky too. Friends raising kids together doesn't always work. Especially when step-parents are added to the mix.
Amelia: Yep. The 4 of us make a good team.
Solomon: There's Mom and Dad. [Yelling] Come on in!
David: I'm glad your Dad is finally willing to be around me. Better to be tolerated than shunned, I guess.
Solomon: I just hope he comes around. I miss him.
Simone: Solly! David! It's so good seeing you two!
David: It's always a pleasure, Simone. And you too, Reggie.
Reggie: Uhh, thank you. I can't believe Cece is turning 12! It feels like it was only yesterday she was running around singing her ABC's on loop.
David: [under breath] Well, that was the last time you saw her, so..."
Solomon: Uh, yeah, she sure has grown up.
Simone: Well, just let us know what we can do to help set up.
David: We're just finishing up the balloons and then we'll be set.
Solomon: I can't wait to see Cece's face light up when she sees this place!
[Cece is shown mingling, dancing, opening presents, and blowing out candles at the party]
