"elena come here, i need your help with the banner." i called her over

"last time i helped you i got shot"

i bit my lip, feeling bad seeing her needing a crutch's assistance to walk

"yea i'm so-"

"mia, stop it. I was joking." she said, handing me a thumbtack for the banner

we have been working on cain's birthday surprise

well first birthday surprise

out of many

many

surprises he will receive today

i sighed, satisfied with the downstairs area that my brothers and elena helped me decorate

at 5 in the morning

and i got zero sleep

"i need to stop doing this to us." i mumbled, looking down at my belly, sighing

"who is she talking to?" lorenzo chuckled

and the rest mumbled in confusion

i just walked up the stairs

i couldn't be embarrassed even if i wanted to

i'm too tired

i placed a hand on my door handle, immediately pausing

and continued walking down the hallway

opening cain's room door

i sighed, laying under his covers

facing the opposite way

i felt the bed dip a little, then a pair of arms wrapped around my waist

and his head rested on the side of my neck

giving me immediate warmth

causing me to drift off to sleep

i woke up the next morning to the sun peeking gently through the curtains

i heard a faucet running, and i turned my head to see the source

cain was in the bathroom

today's the day

i covered my face with the covers, secretly watching him brush his teeth

is that weird?

yes

oh well

his shirt was off, and of course he had the sweatpants on

and to top it off

his hair was wet

abs, sweatpants, and wet hair?

is it my birthday?

he put his toothbrush down, rinsing out his mouth

then wiping it with a towel, immediately making eye contact with me

pausing his movement

i quickly closed my eyes, pretending to me asleep
