Rippers POV
Ripper:"Hi Keith, happy birthday! Your the best uncle ever!"

Keith:"Aw! That's sweet Melia. Thank you so, so much."

Keith gives me a hug.

Alice:"Happy Birthday Keith!"

Keith:"Thanks, Vincent."

Alice:"Your never gonna call me Alice, are you?"

Keith:"No, Vinny."

Alice smiles.

Sheryl:"Keith, happy birthday! Long time no see."

Keith:Thanks, I know. It's been too long."

Sheryl:"Oh yeah!"

Patti:"Hi Vinny, hi Sheryl."

Shyrel:"Hi, Patti."

Alice:"Hello Patti. We haven't see each other in like forever!"

Patti:"Yeah, Melia comes over without you."

Alice shakes his head.

Ripper:"Hi Alexandria! Hi Theodora. Marlon, hi! Long time no see."

Marlon:"Yeah."

Alexandria and Theodora:"We agree with Marlon."

I smile.

Keith:"I'm glad too see my children are getting along."

Marlon and I:"What's that supposed to mean!"

Keith:"I don't know."

Patti brings out the cake. There are lots of other relatives, most I don't really know. (Cause I'm still fairly new to the Furrier/Richards house-hold.

I do however know Keith's mom Doris, his dad Bert, and grandfather Gus.

Alexandria lights the candles, and we all gather around Mr. Keith too sing happy birthday.

Keith:"Melia, go get your guitar and play for uncle Keith."

Ripper:"Too late, sorry."

Theodora, Alexandria, and Marlon laugh and put their arms around my shoulders.

I smile at my new cousins.

After cake,Keith opens his presents, and I put on a mini concert for him.

Keith had a wonderful, wonderful birthday, and I enjoyed being with the family.🏴
