"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Oliver, Happy Birthday to you." Everyone sings as Xander places a cake in front of the birthday boy.

"Make a wish." Xander says.

Oliver closes his eyes for a moment before blowing the candles out, a big smile on his face.

"What did you wish for?" Xander asks.

"It won't come true if I tell you." He says back with a smirk as he kisses Xander.

"Um, keep it PG please." Dimitri says as he covers Asher's eyes.

Xander flips Dimitri off as he continues to kiss Oliver.

My eyes scan the area looking for Luna.

She was here a second ago.

My eyes finally find her as I smile, only then for my smile to fade as a worried expression crosses my face.

"Hey what's wrong? Why are you crying." I ask as I grab her face in between my hands.

"It's nothing, I promise." She whispers as she gives me a small smile.

"Luna-"

"Mommy, can I have some cake?" Asher asks as he pulls at the end of Luna's dress.

"Of course you can, make sure you say thanks to Uncle Xander and Oliver." She says back to him.

He nods his head and runs over into Oliver's lap, giving him and Xander a kiss on the cheek once he gets his cake.

"What happened baby." I say as I pull her into my arms.

"I got into an argument with Lily." She huffs.

What?

Those two have never fought a day in their lives.

"I don't want to talk about it right now." She mumbles into my chest.

I wrap my arms around her as my eyes scan the backyard, they land on Lily who is frantically talking to Baxter as her cheeks are stained with tears.

What the fuck happened?

"If daddy asks where I am telling him I'm inside, okay." I say to Asher.

He nods his head as he runs off to play with Xander and Oliver.

It's Oliver's birthday today and it's hot as shit out here, which is why I'm going inside to the nice cold air conditioning.

I decided to go chill in the theatre room.

The chairs are so fucking comfy.

I've been having some trouble sleeping the last couple nights.

I know I've been back for a little over a month but I thought I was getting better.
