Sources told E! News that Brown, who is still inconsolable for his daughter's fate, looked rather dejected and weary when he arrived at the resto, although got a little happy when everyone in his family was around him.

A pregnant Etheridge was there, together with his 5-year-old son Cassius. While the party tried to keep everything look and feel OK, still, shadows of gloom and sadness over Bobbi's condition could never be hidden.

A guest was seen giving him a birthday present, while two birthday cakes were served at around 9:30 p.m. Of course, the group sand him a "Happy Birthday" song.
