BIRTHDAY BOYYYY

Lina was rightfully concerned for Paul when she first started fostering him. a lot of stuff would set him off, so she naturally was a little nervous as to how he would handle certain dates. Especially his birthday.

But he was probably the happiest anyone had seen him in a while at his birthday party. most of the kids that got invited were Belle's classmates, but he had broken out of his shell a lot by then and didn't seem to mind. seeing him social was a little jarring since he literally wasn't even talking when he first came home.

She didnt have time to worry about how he would handle Christmas. The marks would always put up the tree the day after his birthday, and lo and behold, him and Belle woke her up that morning asking if they could put it up. She didn't even think about it when June 5th came around. In fact, she hadnt even noticed.

he's a tough kid :,)
