Eighteen Candles1
My name is Zel.2
today is my eighteenth birthday.3
today is the first day of many days4
that I'll be a mother.5
changing diapers6
soothing midnight cries7
today is the first of many days8
where I'll be happy.9
no, things won't be perfect.10
and I prefer it that way.11
Zale lights the candles12
singing the traditional13
'Happy Birthday' song14
poking holes through the cake15
'Make a wish,' he says16
a task so very simple17
no thought18
required.19
blowing out every candle20
in one long breath21
Zale leans over22
kisses me23
grins24
'Happy Birthday...mom.'25
I smack him.26
He's become such a jester27
for the past two weeks.28
it keeps my spirits up29
when I feel low30
at times.31
plucking the blue center32
candle from the icing33
I smile.34
blue is now my favorite color.35
'Happy birthday to me.'36

THE END!!!!!!!
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING (PLEASE)
Okay just to get some questions answered that might be asked:
Q:Is there going to be a sequel?
A: No there is not. Zel has had her story told and I am putting her to rest.
If she shows up again in the future, then I'll write another.
Q: Are you going to publish this?
A: Yes, I am. Plans for the story to be published have been made since last year in November. I was just trying to look for a publisher. I have one now.
if you want to know when the pub date is-it might be out in june or july-you can visis my LJ
