such an incredible present!” Flowed from her mouth without her realizing it until she was hugging her aunt and cousins.
     
    Her Mother handed her the one box that was left. “It’s from Uncle Nathan,” she said. Jillian ripped open the paper to find an alarm clock. Jillian cocked her head and wrinkled her brow.
     
    “ Oh come on, there must be a reason,” her mom said looking at the box with a crooked smile.
     
    “ Hey, that’s like the one we have,” Eric said. “You can record messages to wake up to instead of an alarm sound.”
     
    “ Yah like, time to get up fart-face.” Josh said.
     
    “Or looser…Wake up, you are late for school!” Cody piped in. The girls all rolled their eyes. Jillian winced, thinking what they could have recorded for her.
     
    “ Did you guys already make some for me?” She asked looking at her cousins. Everyone burst into laughter. She rolled her eyes. Now that would have been scary. She thought about the crazy things she could have woken up to.
     
    She looked up to her mom who was looking towards the garage smiling.
     
    “ Well I guess we’ll be going now,” Jillian's father said as he walked out from the garage and headed for the front yard right on cue.
     
    “ What?” Jillian shouted and ran after him. He turned around and she could see he had something in his arms. As Jillian got closer she saw little pointed ears and then little eyes and a little nose. “A kitten!” She yelled. “A kitten, it's beautiful," she said gently lifting it from his arm.
     
    The girls were all walking towards them “oohing” and trying to pet the tiny thing. Jillian sat down in the grass and held the kitten and stroked its head with her face. The kitten returned the love by rubbing its cheek on Jillian’s. "All of her things are in your room. Her bed, litter box, toys and a brush. She’s only 8 weeks old, so you will have to give her lots of love!”
     
    “ No problem,” Jillian said as if she was the happiest girl on earth. Her heart was so full. She couldn't ever remember feeling this happy before. “Tiffany. Tiffany Marie is your name!” She said as she kissed her kitten.
     
    “ Okay kids get your selves ready to go,” Aunt Monica called out. “Well honey we have a long drive back. Happy Birthday. Maybe you can come up for a weekend before school starts.”
     
    “ Thank you,” Jillian said as she hugged her aunt. Celia gave her the "Call me" gesture with her hand and Jillian nodded. The kids all climbed into the van and minutes later they were gone.
     
    Jillian took Tiffany Marie to her bedroom to check out the goodies that came with her. She had a cute little basket with a soft fleece blanket in it. When Jillian set her down on it she began to purr loudly, kneading the blanket with her little paws as she closed her eyes. Jillian's mother came into the room and smiled at the site of the two of them. “Mommy, when am I coming home?” Jillian asked as she wrapped her arms around her mother.
     
    “ It probably won't be until the end of summer. Before school starts I hope. Just this last week daddy and I have worked so many hours, and barely even gotten to talk to each other because our schedules are so crazy. We have 10-12 hour shifts at both jobs, along with our online classes, but as soon as a spot opens up for one of us to maintain stable hours and stay at home at night, you will be home. Jana tells me you've met some new friends."
     
    "I thought I did. I invited one of them today. Guess she was busy."
     
    "Tell me about them." Her mother said as she sat on the bed.
     
    "There's Sonya. She's kinda Goth looking, kinda hard a-s-s. She lives with her Grandma Hilde who owns the Baker Street Bed and Breakfast. Sometimes she doesn't seem particularly friendly, like she doesn't trust anybody. But I have seen a softer side of her. I don't think she has any other family other than her Grandma. Then there's Ryan. He's really quiet, and seems to spend a lot inside his
