*Author’s note*
And here we go guys the last update for now. This chapter contains an equal amount of both fluff and and angst so I hope you all enjoy it and still have those tissues and maybe some ice cream (or other sweet treat on hand cause you’ll need it). Now I’ll stop talking and let you all get to reading these chapters, hope you all enjoyed them and until the next chapter (but you all are gonna hate me for it cause I have a feeling you all may know what I’m gonna write for the next chapter).

___________________________________________________________
*November 13th, 1991*
It was a nice cool November morning in the backyard of Roger Taylor’s home. Everywhere decorations were being put up with the help of not only Roger, Brian, Deacy, Jack’s family, and the ladies of Queen, but some of the loyal roadies both from Queen and the Rock Angel.
Walking through the garden wearing a handsewn replica of Belle’s famed yellow dress, little Kelly Kline was walking towards her mom who was talking to some of the party planners.
“Just be sure that Elton and Bernie are sitting next to each other, those two can’t be separated no matter what. And see to it that David is seated here.”
“Of course Mrs. Kline.”
*My POV*
Whew who knew planning a princess themed party was such hard work. But thankfully the planning was coming along. We hadn’t had any hiccups or misplacements. Mum as well as Gen were making Kelly’s dress since they were the most skilled at sewing, and it was nice for dad to lend us his backyard for the party. God he truly likes to spoil his goddaughter.
When I turned around I gasped in awe. There stood my little five year—well almost six year old baby girl in the famed yellow Belle ballgown dress.
Ever since she’s seen Beauty and the Beast, it’s been her favorite movie and she’s begged and begged to have a Princess themed party where she could be Belle. And so here we are.
“Do you like it?” she asked me with a hopeful smile.
“Ohh Kelly, you are an absolute vision. You are gonna be the talk of the party and not just because it’s your birthday.” I said as I kneeled in front of her and took her hands in mine.
She smiled and I held my arms out and she came into them as I hugged her. God I can’t believe my baby girl’s growing up so fast already. I mean it seems like only yesterday she was just born and now here we are almost six years later.
“How’s it coming?” I heard Jack say. We separated from each other and when he saw his daughter he gasped and said. “And just who is this lovely princess before me?” she giggled and said.
“It’s me daddy.” Jack got down and leaned in real close to her making her giggle some more.
“Why yes it is. Oh my darling baby girl truly is a princess now. Did mums and auntie Gen do good on the dress?”
“Yes, I love it.”
“Did you thank them?”
“Yes daddy I did.” He smiled and hugged our baby girl close to him before placing a peck on top of her head.
“Oi Jack mind giving us a hand with this!?” Jensen exclaimed as he and Jared were trying to hold up one of the platform towers to help make the setting more authentic.
“Duty calls, I’ll be back later.” He kissed Kelly one last time before racing off to help his cousins. I stood up and took my daughter’s hand as I told her to follow me.
“Ohh I just can’t believe how big you’re getting.”
“Mummy! Please don’t tell anymore baby stories. I’m not a baby anymore.” She whined.
“Ohh forgive me, but no matter how old you get, you will always be my little baby waby girl!” I cooed as I held her close and she tried to squirm but I warned her not to mess up the dress and ruin mum and Gen’s hard work. “Oh that reminds me. I have a gift for you.”
“Really? What is it?”
“Well your uncle Freddie had it specially made. It took a few strings, even though I told him not to do it. But you can never tell that man to not do something. And it’s a symbol that makes every princess a princess.”
*3rd Person POV*
In one of the bedrooms where (y/n) kept Kelly’s specially made diamond princess tiara. Gen and Jared’s 5 year old daughter Odette managed to find the tiara in it’s special box. She too who loved all the Disney Princess movies wanted to know what it was like to wear one that was real and authentic, and not just a plastic crown.
She placed it on top of her head and looked at the full length mirror and couldn’t help but smile at herself. Feeling almost proud and regal at this point.
“Odette?” she heard her aunt’s voice.
*My POV*
I went into Roger’s study where I had put the tiara knowing that the kids wouldn’t be able to find it in there. But it would seem curious little Odette managed to find herself in there and was wearing Kelly’s tiara. I called out to her and that’s when she jumped back and took the crown off as she began stuttering.
“A-auntie (y/n) I—I’m sorry I…I just wanted to…..”
“How dare you!” Kelly sneered as she walked up to her younger cousin. “That’s mine! It’s not for you.”
“Sorry Kelly I just wanted…..” Kelly took back the tiara and said in a snotty tone.
“Poor kids don’t get to wear real tiaras.”
“Enough!” I said in a firm tone.
“Auntie (y/n) I’m sorry…..”
“No. I was talking to Kelly.” I interrupted her. Kelly turned towards me and owled back.
“Me?”
“I thought your father and I raised you better than that Kelly.” I spoke with my mother tone as I looked down at her disappointedly. “It doesn’t matter where we come from in life, everyone deserves to be treated with love and respect.”
“But Odette took my—”
“She apologized. And it isn’t yours yet.” I stopped her before she could even make an argument with me.
“Auntie (y/n) it was really my fault.”
“I respect your honesty Odette. But your cousin must learn. Kelly,” I knelt down in front of her and continued, “We are all the same.”
“But you’re a rockstar mummy. That makes you rich.”
“Well yes, to a degree. But that doesn’t make me better than anyone else. This party for instance, can you tell me what it’s for?”
“Yes. It’s to honor me on my birthday.” She answered with pride as she raised her chin up like a real princess.
“No. It’s for you to honor your family. And to show everyone that by being a kind, and caring young girl, you will continue to grow up to be just that.” I took the tiara from her hands and held it before her as the two of us stared into each other’s eyes. “When you are crowned with this, on your birthday. It will show everyone that like a real Princess should, you will treat everyone with love and with kindness. Just like Belle did for the Beast. Now do you understand?” she smiled and nodded.
“I do mummy.” I smiled at her and I gestured towards Odette to tell her to say that she was sorry. Kelly turned and said. “I’m sorry Dette, I was selfish. I didn’t mean to get mad at you.”
“It’s okay. I’m sorry I took your tiara without asking permission first. Daddy and mommy says I should never take something without asking first.” The two girls hugged each other and it warmed my heart to see them forgive each other.
“Alright Odette, go run along and play with your brothers and the rest of your cousins.” She raced off leaving Kelly and I alone in the study. We walked up to the full length mirror together and I handed her the tiara once more and as she held it she said.
“It’s so pretty.”
“Your uncle Freddie spares no expense for you.”
“Can we go see him?” she asked.
Now that’s where I was hesitant. See the last time I had seen Freddie, he was looking very, very ill. And there’s not to say I was paranoid against the AIDS virus, I would never want to isolate Kelly from her favorite uncle, it’s just—I don’t want to have her be upset at seeing him like this.
“Ahh so here’s where the two Kline Queens snuck off to.” We turned around and there stood Roger. I playfully scowled at him and that’s when Kelly raced up to her godfather and said as she even did a little twirl.
“Papa Roger, don’t I look beautiful?” Roger was in awe as he said.
“Ohhh lovie, you are so beautiful mademoiselle.” He took her hand and kissed the back of it, just like he was greeting real royalty. “I can’t believe I have the highest honor of being in the presence of Princess Belle herself.”
“You’re silly papa Roger.”
“Oh lovie, I’m crazy for you!” he picked her up and playfully spun her around in his arms, the two of them laughing. I shook my head at his playful antics and that’s when he said as he stopped spinning her around. “So what were we lovely lion queens talking about before I came in here?”
“I was hoping to see uncle Freddie.” At hearing his name, Roger grew solemn.
“Uhh Kelly, why don’t we try for a visit tomorrow?”
“Aww why?”
“Well because we’re still trying to build your party love. And I need to stay here and help out with the planning. And your father still needs to finish setting up the towers and the other decorations we need—”
“I’ll take you to see him.” Said Roger interrupting me. I looked at him in shock while Kelly looked overly ecstatic.
“Really?”
“Yeah, I’ve been meaning to see him myself. Why don’t we go together.”
“Can I go mummy please?” she turned toward me giving me the puppy dog eyes that she inherited from her father.
“Well—”
“Papa Roger can take me, please I haven’t seen him in a very, very, very, very, very, very, very long time.” I looked to Roger and he looked at me in assurance that it would be okay.
“Alright, but change out of your dress and into your normal clothes okay.”
“But I wanna show him!”
“Hey, either you take off the dress or there’s no visiting uncle Freddie.” she groaned but she knew I was right. Roger set her down and she headed back to the room to find either Gen or mum to take the dress off and get her normal clothes back on. “You sure visiting him is a good idea?”
“Well we can’t just keep her away from him. Plus he’s been asking for her lately. Especially now since her birthday’s next week.”
“Will you tell her why he’s so sickly? I mean compared to when she last saw him at the beginning of the year, he’s gotten worse. He can barely leave the bed.”
“I know. I’ll—try to ease her into why he’s so different.” He said.
“Just—break it to her slowly. And if she cries…..just be there for her.”
“I promise love.” He said as he wrapped his arm around my neck and he kissed my forehead.
I helped her into the backseat of Roger’s car and I said to her.
“Now you listen to everything your godfather tells you. And…go easy with your uncle Freddie once you see him okay?” she nodded. I kissed her cheek and told her. “Have a good visit.”
“No worries mama lioness I’ll take care of her.” He started the engine and the car revved.
“Bye mummy!” I closed the door and he pulled out of the driveway and headed down the road to head to Freddie’s place at Garden Lodge. I waved bye to them and that’s when Jack came up behind me and said.
“She going to see him?”
“Yeah. I just—I just wish I could be there with her, she…..she doesn’t deserve to see her once mighty uncle in his lowest state. I’m so scared she’s gonna be so upset. He—he hardly has any time left. I fear he’s gonna die any day Jack.” I wept softly while he held me close to him allowing me to cry for the first time in months.
*3rd Person POV*
It took about 10-15minutes but soon enough they finally reached Garden Lodge. But as it has been for months ever since the leaked rumors of Freddie’s illness with the growing rise of the AIDS outbreak, the press were out pacing around like hungry wolves waiting to storm in and photograph Freddie.
“Papa Roger, the bad photo guys are here.” Roger growled and muttered.
“Those fucking wankers.”
“Mummy calls them desperate hyenas.”
“More like pestering vultures, but your mum is right.”
“Why do they do this?”
“For their own greediness unfortunately. Here I need you to be quiet for a moment while I make a quick call, okay?” she nodded and Roger pulled out his installed car-phone and dialed Fred’s number.
It rang a couple times before an answer was heard.
“Jim, it’s Roger. Yes I’m here with Kelly and we’ve come to see Freddie, but the press are crowding the gate…..Yes, okay. Alright we’ll wait out here. Thanks Jim, see you in a minute.” He hung up the phone and he turned to Kelly. “Care to watch a little game?”
“What kind of game?”
“It’s called ‘fool the mindless baboons.’ Any second now, a car’s gonna pull out from uncle Freddie’s place. We’re gonna make those baboons chase after the car thinking your uncle Freddie’s in the car. So while they chase after the car a few times around the next few blocks, we can go in and see Freddie, sound fun?” she nodded happily.
Then just as Jim told Roger, Freddie’s driver Terry came driving out of the gate and that’s when the press took notice of the car and took off running after it with their cameras out and all shouting over each other. Kelly laughed as she said.
“Stupid baboons.”
“You said it love, now c’mon let’s head inside before the gate closes.” Roger unbuckled himself out of his seat and quickly raced over to help Kelly out from the car.
He picked her up and held her in his arms, and as he quickly raced over towards the gate he noticed another car parked just nearby.
“Well it seems Brian and Anita are here as well.”
“Really?” Kelly’s tone grew excited.
“Yeah see that’s Miss Anita’s car right there.” Roger said as he pointed out the car. She nodded and that’s when Roger took her inside and the gate closed behind them. He walked right up to the front door and knocked twice before adjusting Kelly in his arms to move her from hanging off his hips to his waist.
The door opened to reveal Jim standing there.
“Hi Uncle Jim.” Kelly waved.
“Hello lass, hello Roger, good to see you both. Thanks for waiting.”
“It’s no problem. Anything to get those vultures off Fred’s property for a while.” Jim allowed the two of them inside the home.
Normally Freddie would either be in the music room playing the piano or in the living room with most of his children, but it was all quiet.
“I’m told it’ll be someone’s birthday next week.” Jim said trying to make conversation. Kelly nodded shyly and said.
“Yeah, I’m gonna be six years old.”
“Wow that old already? How time flies.”
“Tell me about it. Seems like she was just born yesterday and now I’ve got a growing lion cub on my hands.” Roger said as he playfully bounced her up in his arms. Kelly softly giggled and leaned her head against her godfather’s shoulder and Roger placed a kiss on top of her head.
“Can I get you both something to drink?”
“Just a warm cuppa for me, once we’re done here gotta help continue to build this young one’s princess party.”
“Alright, and for you Kelly dear?”
“Can I please have some milk?”
“Sure thing, one cuppa and one milk coming up. Please make yourselves comfortable.” Jim said as he gestured towards the living room. Roger placed Kelly down on the couch and that’s when one of Freddie’s cats and Kelly’s personal favorite Romeo came up and rubbed against her ankle.
She got down and greeted him and began to stroke him as he let out a loud purr and leaned into her hand.
“Here we are, one cuppa and one milk.” Jim said as he brought in the two cups.
“Thanks Jim.”
“Thank you uncle Jim.” Rog took a sip of his cuppa and he said.
“So I noticed Anita’s car out front, they still here?”
“Yeah, they arrived just five minutes ago before you both showed up. They’re upstairs with Freddie and the doctor.” As the two men continued to talk about grown up stuff, Kelly being the clever girl that she was, slowly snuck away from the couch and as quietly as she could, headed up the staircase to find Freddie.
When she reached the top of the stairs, she wondered along trying to remember which room was his. That was until she heard the sound of her uncle Brian’s voice. She quietly raced towards it and peeked in.
There she could see her uncle Freddie in his grand master bed. But she was shocked to see that compared to the last time she saw him, he looked even worse. He was so thin and frail, it looked like he was a skeleton in her eyes.
“I see that the garden’s been tended to Fred. Brian spoke from the window.”
“I agree Brian, are those newly planted magnolias?” Anita spoke up.
“Guys….you don’t have to pretend to make conversation with me. I’m just…glad you’re here.” Brian smiled solemnly at his dear friend. It was then Anita turned towards the door and could see a small figure quickly try to hide away.
“It would seem you have an unexpected guest Freddie.” Both Queens looked toward the door and shyly peeking out was Kelly.
“Kelly.” Said Brian. He walked over to her and knelt down in front of her and said, “What are you doing here?”
“Papa Roger brought me here. I—wanted to see uncle Freddie.”
“So that old fart finally came to see me. He downstairs?” Freddie said from his bed. She nodded and that’s when Freddie extended his arm out and said. “Come here my sweet nightingale.” She turned to her uncle Brian and even through the sad hazel eyes, he managed a soft smile as he nodded telling her to go on.
She walked over to the bed and took his hand in hers. Freddie smiled warmly as best he could as he said.
“You just get bigger and bigger every time I see you darling. And I hear you’ll be what? 8 next week?”
“No I’ll be six.” She softly giggled.
“Ahh yes, the big number six. God it’s hard to believe you’re getting older.”
“Yeah.” She said hesitantly. Even through his exhaustion he knew something was going on in her head. So much like her mother in every way.
“What is it my sweet darling?”
“I wanna cancel my party.” She said.
“What?”
“I don’t wanna have a party without you. I can wait uncle Freddie. And then we can turn it into a celebration once your better.” Freddie held onto her hand as tight as he could, but to Kelly it was like holding a baggy in between her hands.
“No my darling, we can’t cancel your birthday. It’ll be alright.” He took a soft deep breath in and said to her, “I’ll—try to be right as rain by then. I wanna see my little nightingale walking in that beautiful tiara I had specially made for her.” His index finger stroked her cheek faintly.
Kelly held her uncle’s hands tighter and pressed a kiss to the back of his hand. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes but a strong face adored her features.
“I don’t care about my birthday, all I care about is you.” Kelly whispered as she placed her other hand over her uncle’s heart. Freddie couldn’t handle the level of kindness that was in this little girl. Here his niece was willing to cancel her birthday even after months of it being planned and everything coming together, and she was willing to just throw it away and wait for him to get better.
Even though he knew he wasn’t.
Suddenly he began coughing rather harshly. He turned away from her as he coughed into his left hand which held a tissue. The coughing grew louder and more harsher, it was like he was gonna cough a lung out.
“Brian!” he groaned out as best he could. He refused to let his nightingale see him like this and risk scaring her.
“Kelly love,” Brian immediately came up to Kelly who just stared at her uncle Freddie fearfully. Brian placed his hands on her shoulders trying to redirect her attention to him as he said, “Let’s leave Fred to rest, it’s alright.” He quickly picked her up and as Freddie’s doctor came over to help him, Brian and Anita left with Kelly to watch in shock at seeing her uncle so sick.
When Fred was finally done coughing, the tissue was practically coated with blood and a small bit of it even ran down his throat as well as a tear.
Kelly kept her eyes at the doors of Freddie’s bedroom and that’s when she buried herself into her uncle’s shoulder, burying her face into his mass of curls and let out a sniffle. Brian stopped and softly told Anita to head on downstairs.
She nodded and rubbed Kelly’s back comfortingly for a bit before heading on downstairs. Brian found a bench to sit on and he said as he gently pulled Kelly away from him so he could have a good look at her.
“What is it Kelly-cub?”
“Is—is uncle Freddie going to die?” she suddenly asked. At hearing her say those words, Brian had no idea what to say to her. I mean…..how does one tell a child that someone they love is dying of a terrible disease that can’t be cured like the stomach flu or the common cold.
She began to softly cry as she buried herself back into her uncle’s shoulder. Brian stroked the back of her hair trying to calm her down as he gently soothed her as best he could.
“We—we don’t know love.”
“I don’t wanna lose him!” she whimpered out.
“Neither do we.” Brian whispered back to her. Brian continued to embrace his niece for as long as he could till she just sat there motionlessly. He then decided she needed to be with her godfather at this point.
Brian stood up and walked down the stairs and when Roger saw the sight of his goddaughter he sighed brokenly. He walked up and Brian transferred her over to him and Roger held Kelly close to him and patted her back soothingly.
“I should take her back. I can come back later to see him. God (y/n) is gonna kill me.”
“She probably knew this would happen Rog. Maybe we should talk to Fred and (y/n).”
“After her birthday Brian. She doesn’t deserve to be sad just days before her birthday party. I know Jack and I can’t allow that to happen.” Roger kissed the back of her head and stroked through her mother’s inherited (h/c) hair.
After a few minutes of talking with Brian, Rog buckled Kelly up into the backseat and drove back to his place for her to rest after such an emotional day.
One week later; family and friends were invited to Roger’s place for the greatest birthday in history.
*My POV*
I was currently dressed in a white Cinderella style dress and I knew Jack would be dressed as my Prince Charming. I was adjusting my dress and putting the final touches of my makeup when I heard a knock at my door. Standing there were Roger and Brian.
“Well look at you Mrs. Kline, a true Queen.” Said Brian with a soft smile.
“Now, now boys this is supposed to be Kelly’s night. I’m merely just trying to look my best.”
“And no doubt, your majesty.” Roger did a mock bow doing a dramatic hand gesture as he bowed. I rolled my eyes at them and I said to them.
“But I’ll admit you two clean up rather nicely. Quite dapper yourselves. Like true Princes, Anita and Dominque are lucky ladies.”
“Well so far most of the guests are starting to arrive. Thankfully no press have come yet.” Said Roger.
“Good. I refuse to have a bunch of kids photographed just because celebrities are here. Especially when it comes to my kids.”
“Don’t I know it.” Muttered Brian. There was an uncomfortable silence between us and that’s when I decided to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
“Alright, I know why you guys really came up here. You’re here to talk about talking to Kelly in regard to Freddie’s health.” They looked at me. Before they could speak, I held my hand up and walked towards one of the chairs in mine and Jack’s guest room that Roger kindly lent us for the week till the party was over. “You guys know I’ve been keeping this secret ever since I found out at the beginning of the year. Not even Jack knows about it, not my mum, not Misha, not even Jared and Jensen. Kelly’s been asking questions but I refused to tell her the truth because I promised Freddie.”
“We would never have asked you to carry such a responsibility.” Roger said as he came up to me. I sighed heavily and stopped a tear from coming down my face.
“I know that every child has to go through death at least one point in their life. Whether through a pet, or unfortunately like in my case with both my parents. But—never did I think I’d have to prepare Kelly or my boys for this. How do I tell her?” Roger placed his hand on my shoulder giving it a gentle squeeze.
“It’s the hardest thing every parent goes through. Believe me, it wasn’t easy to tell my kids about my father passing, they loved their grandfather and he loved them. But—if Kelly finds out a different way, it may damage her to an extent, especially if some news press makes it out to be Freddie’s fault. She at least deserves to hear it from the one person whose loved Freddie almost all her life.” Brian said to me as he stood by my side.
“And if you need us to be there for you when you tell her, we will.” I nodded and fanned my eyes out and that’s when Roger held out a handkerchief for me. I smiled and dabbed my eyes.
“Alright enough of this. Don’t want to show teary eyes at a six year old’s birthday party.” I stood up and grabbed the box that held Kelly’s tiara. “Ready my kings?”
“Lead the way our beloved White Queen.” I raised my chin up acting the part of a Queen and I left the guest bedroom and headed down the stairs and headed for the backyard.
All around there were people dressed in full costume of either Kings or Queens or Princes’ or princesses. Kids were running about chasing each other or talking at the kid’s table. There was a bouncy-castle with a dragon plushie inside. A stage was set up for not only Kelly’s ‘coronation’ but Brian and I had prepared a little something special.
To the left of the stage, there were mountains of presents and on the other side was the snack table where the cake, and all the other treats were at.
There were fun party games for the kids to play, and even some of us grownups got involved with the games like musical chairs, the bean-bag toss, and the three legged race. When the clock struck six o’ clock I grabbed my champagne glass and took my knife and lightly clanged them together as I said.
“Excuse me, can I please have everyone’s attention?” Everyone quietened down and Jack handed me a mic. “Thanks love, okay first of all I would like to thank everyone who came out here today to celebrate a very special someone. I know some of you have traveled across the ocean to get here but we greatly appreciate you taking the time to fly out here.” I spoke of my family and some of Kelly’s school friends in America.
“Now we’d like to ask that the birthday girl come up on stage. Kelly sweetie.” Jack said as he now took the mic while I walked up on stage. Kelly raced up and took her daddy’s hand and he helped her up the stairs so that she could sit on the red velvet, faux gold chair that Roger had lying around in the attic to use as Kelly’s throne for tonight.
He sat her down on the chair and I took the tiara out of the box and walked behind her and presented the tiara to everyone.
“Sweetheart, your mother and I would like to finally present you, your crown. For it was on this hour just six years ago you graced us with your lovely presence.” I placed the crown on my daughter’s head and that’s when Jensen and Jared came up carrying the cake while Misha lit the candles. Once the candles were lite we all began to sing to her.
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday dear Kelly.
Happy birthday to you!
I swore at this moment, I thought Kelly’s smile was just gonna pop right off her face with how wide it was. At the end of our song, Misha kissed his granddaughter and said.
“Make a wish sweetie before you blow them out.” She shut her eyes before blowing as hard as she could, extinguishing the candles. We all applauded her and she hugged her grandfather first before turning to me and wrapped her arms around me and gave me a kiss. I kissed her temple and rubbed her back happily.
We all then had cake and ice cream, and all the while mum was in charge of taking the pictures and she sure did get in a lot, especially of her precious granddaughter. Brian was also our main photographer and while Kelly was opening her presents, I pulled both Brian and Elton aside so that we could prepare the next special surprise for Kelly.
After getting a whole bunch of presents from new Barbie dolls, to drum kits, mini-guitars and dozens of other games and toys, Kelly thanked everyone for her gifts and that’s when Elton sat down behind the keyboard while Brian and I came up on stage.
“If we could have your attention for another quick moment.” Brian spoke into his microphone. “Kelly love, this is a special gift that your father had us prepare for you. We hope you like it.” Elton soon began playing the opening chords for “Beauty and the Beast” and soon coming out from the left side of the stage, Jack had changed from his white Prince charming attire to the famed blue outfit the beast wore.

As I softly began to vocalize, Jack walked up to our daughter and knelt down to her height as I began to sing the first part of the song. He presented our daughter with a rose and she smiled and took it from her daddy before standing up and curtsying at him.
When Brian came in with the next part of the song, Jack extended his hand out and she gladly accepted it and the two of them walked out before the stage as Brian and I began to sing the duet part of the song.
For you see as many times as she’s seen the movie, she always made Jack dance with her the exact same steps that they do in the movie. It’s honestly quite adorable to see as the film running, the two of them get the spins and turns right on cue.
So for months; Jack has wanted to finally do the dance the right way. And since Kelly wanted a Princess themed party, this was the perfect time for him to get tailored in the exact beast outfit and he had me practice with him the exact steps while Kelly was in school so that he could get it right.
But I knew I couldn’t sing this song on my own so that’s why I chose Brian to be my singing partner because when he needed, his voice can do such raw passion in an angelic belt, but he could control the level in which he did it.
We were also lucky to have Elton join in on the party because Bri isn’t as big of a fan of the keyboard as he is with the piano. So Elton gladly stepped in and got the sheet music for the song (since under secrecy he’s apparently involved with an upcoming Disney film).
As Brian and I kept singing the song, Kelly and Jack continued to do the waltz right down to the last step. It was like seeing a live action of the film right before us. I could see the kids were in awe and the grownups couldn’t help but fawn at how adorable it was.
I could see Roger leaned up against Dominque’s shoulder and she leaned her head against his as the two of them softly swayed while keeping their eyes on the adorable dancers up front. Even John had a slight smile as he and Veronica were cuddled close together.
It was like even through all this shit that’s been going on with Freddie, he still managed to find some light as he watched his beloved niece dance with her father.
By the end of the song, Jack picked our baby girl up and held her in his arms leaning his forehead against hers. A common sign of affection he’s done with her ever since she was born. Her eyes closed as she touched her nose to him.
Everyone soon applauded and I couldn’t help but wipe away a tear from my face. I hugged Brian and I said.
“We’d also like to thank Mr. Elton John on the keyboard.” Elton stood up and bowed to the crowd. When Jack put Kelly down, she walked up the stairs to us and hugged both Brian and I to the best of her ability. I picked her up and held her in my arms and she said.
“You both sang beautifully.”
“Thank you love, happy birthday.” Brian said as he pecked her nose.
“Don’t I also deserve a thanks?” Elton asked as he walked up to us. She turned to him and she reached out for him. Elton took her hand and kissed both her cheeks.
“Thank you uncle Elton.”
“Anytime darling, you danced divinely. Just like your mum does.” I playfully scrunched my face at him and adjusted Kelly in my arms.
As it got darker and it was starting to get to be the younger kids’ bedtimes, we ended the part right at 9 o’clock. I handed out all the party favors and thanked everyone for coming and they thanked us for inviting them.
I just got done hugging and kissing Elton and Bernie goodbye and thanked them for coming, when David was the next to come up.
“Thank you so much for coming David.”
“It was my pleasure love, and I hope the mini you had a great birthday.” Kelly who looked like she was about to pass out on Jack’s shoulder yawned and nuzzled closer to her dad’s shoulder. “I’ll take that as a yes.” I handed him his party favor and we kissed each other’s cheek goodbye.
“I’ll get her bathed and ready for bed.” Jack told me as he walked back inside the house. Soon my mum and Gen came and helped out with the rest of the party favors for the guests while the boys took care of taking down the decorations and clearing out the backyard of the Taylor household.
Half an hour later, everything was all cleaned up and thrown away. I yawned tiredly when Dominque said.
“Never thought a six year old’s party could be tiring work huh?”
“I’m just thankful we didn’t have any press stalking about, or any insanely sugar crazed kids. And luckily we were enforced with more adults than most parties I’ve taken the kids to.”
“I’ve got most of the important parts of the party recorded. I can edit it out then ship it to Freddie in about 3 days.” Said Misha.
“Perfect, thanks dad.” He nodded and gave me a kiss and a hug.
“Give my regards to the birthday girl.”
“Will do, you and mum have a safe flight back home tomorrow.”
“We’ll call you guys when we land.” I nodded and that’s when he and mum left the Taylor household back to their hotel to get some rest before flying back to the states.
“Well I better get out of this dress, god this corset has been killing me all night.”
“But you definitely work it girl.” Dominque said. I playfully stuck my tongue at her as I carefully walked back up the steps. As I came to the bedroom, I heard the sounds of Kelly’s laughter. I leaned against the door and peeked in and that’s when I saw both Jack and Roger tickling her.
“Four…..five…..” Jack counted down.
“Five and a half.” Roger continued for him. Oh dear looks like both of my boys have decided to gang up on my poor baby girl with the annual birthday tickles.
I don’t know whether to be relieved that I no longer need to deal with those from Roger anymore or be ashamed that my daughter must now carry the intense burden of Roger’s evil tickles.
“Five and three quarters…..and…..”
“Six.” They finally stopped leaving Kelly in a pile of giggles.
“Are you two jerks torturing my poor little cub again?” I asked revealing myself. The two guilty men turned towards me and Kelly whined out.
“Mummy they kept tickling me.” I awed at her and came over and picked her up and held her close.
“I understand your pain. They are cruel, heartless tickle demons aren’t they?”
“Oh come off it darling, you know you loved it when you got your dose of birthday tickles.” Roger said.
“You were a sadistic torturer Roger Taylor. Like a true lion on the hunt. And you Jack Kline, are like a sneaky wolf trying to claim a lost lamb for lunch.”
“Maybe, but I didn’t hear you complain.” Jack teased. I shook my head at the two of them and that’s when I said to Kelly.
“Alright birthday girl, time for you to go to bed.” The boys got off her bed and I tucked her in. “Did you have a good birthday?”
“The best, it was a lot of fun. Thank you mummy.”
“Well you should really thank your godfather for allowing us to use his house for the party.” Roger knelt down beside her and she said through a yawn.
“Thank you—papa Roger.”
“Only the best for you my little lovie.” He said as he stroked her hair and gently brushed some strands aside. He kissed her forehead and gave her an Eskimo kiss before standing back up. Jack then knelt down on her other side and she said.
“Thanks for dancing with my daddy.”
“Hey you know I’d do anything for you. You’re my best girl Kelly.” He gave her a kiss and the three of us left her bedside and stood by the door.
“Goodnight love.” I whispered.
“G’night mummy, daddy, papa Roger.” She said back.
“Sweet dreams birthday girl.” Said Roger with a gentle smile.
“See you in the morning sweet pea.” Jack said as he turned off the light and we left as he closed the door behind him. We both bid roger a goodnight and we went over to our bedroom.
After getting a shower and changing into my night clothes, I got into the bed beside Jack and we kissed each other.
“Another successful birthday.” He said with a warm smile.
“I’d say we did pretty good.” I shrugged. We then lay down together and as I pressed my head against Jack’s chest I began to worry about tomorrow because it would be in the morning that Brian, Roger and I would talk to Kelly about Freddie’s health.
I wasn’t going to enjoy it, but I knew it had to be done. Cause like Brian said, I’d rather her hear about it from me, rather than an article in the paper or magazine completely blowing it up based off of radical minds.
