"Good morning, Alpha," Richard smiled as Andrew joined him In the kitchen a few hours later.

"Morning Richard," Andrew yawned before taking a seat at the table.

"Thank you Vera," he smiled gratefully as a cup of tea and a full english breakfast was placed down In front of him.

"You seem very chirpy Richard," Andrew noticed after he took a sip of tea.

"I feel fantastic Alpha, I even shifted and went for a run which I haven't actually done In years" Richard smiled, then carried on eating his food.

"Really?" Andrew raised his brows surprised as Bryce and Maxi came Into the kitchen.

"And how are you both on this fine Invigorating, wonderful morning?" Richard smiled.

"Have you been at the coffee Richard?" Bryce yawned as he took a seat next to Andrew with Maxi.

"No," Richard chuckled.

"Drugs then?" Bryce asked.

"No." Richard chuckled again as Andrew looked at him Intrigued.

"Daniel," Maxi exclaimed, getting up and running at him as he entered the kitchen.

"Hey little monkey." Daniel smiled grabbing him Into a tight hug.

"Where's Jackson?" Andrew asked.

"Still In bed, I've come to get him some breakfast," Daniel smiled.

"Is there a problem?" Andrew asked concerned.

"No, nothing serious, he's just tired and has a little pain," Daniel said, before walking over to the fridge.

"That's strange, maybe we should get the doctor to check him over Andrew?" Bryce suggested.

"Maybe, but I'll go see him myself first after breakfast" Andrew told him.

"It could be from what happened and all that energy, although Daniel seems perfectly fine," Richard said.

"I am," Daniel smiled, then poured himself a coffee.

"Well maybe today we should all just relax and take It easy, It's been a long few day and I have some paperwork and things to sort out. I was also thinking maybe this evening we could have a party to celebrate yours and Jackson's birthdays, Daniel" Andrew suggested.

"Yes I agree with you totally, I could do with It to be honest" Maxi said making everyone laugh.

"You don't have to do that," Daniel said to Andrew after he had stopped laughing.

"We celebrate my kids birthdays every year, I don't see why that should stop or change now," Andrew smiled as Daniel blushed.

"Okay," Daniel nodded shyly.

"We are going to need some more supplies Alpha, If we are having a party" Vera Informed him as she put plates of food down for Maxi and Bryce.

"That's no problem Vera, we can go Into town and get some, and get whatever else Is needed" Andrew told her.

"Can we make Daniel and Jackson birthday cakes Bryce?" Maxi then asked making Daniel turn his head to look at him.

"Sure baby boy, we can get all the Ingredients we need In town," Bryce smiled.

"Maxi" Daniel said.

"Yes Daniel" Maxi smiled.

"What happened to your lisp?" Daniel asked surprised.
