"It's my fucking inheritance."

"Today is the day!" Violet runs into the kitchen jumping around. I smile seeing her mood has shifted into a much better state in the past couple of days.
Nathan comes in after her. He's off his crutches but still walks very stiffly every day he seems to be getting better and better. Our doctor recommended he begin working on walking without needing anything to help.
"How are you feeling Nate?"
"Much better. The pain meds are making a big difference but let's not forget today is the day." I roll my eyes, grab my bag, and put my laptop inside.
Violet comes to the counter leaning against it. "So what are we going to do?"
"Violet, it is not that important."
"Today is your birthday, come on." She whines. I shake my head disagreeing. "You are twenty-three. Now legally able to drink."
"Violet. I hate to break it to you but that happens when you're twenty-one. Which I turned two years ago." Violet looks confused, I feel arms wrap around my waist lifting me off of my feet.
"Today is my future wife's birthday." Hunter tossed me up in the air and I shrieked, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Oh, I remember when I turned twenty-three."
"I would hope so. Your birthday was three months ago." I laughed at him.
He puts me down. "Violet, did I hear you say she's now legally able to drink?" The two start a conversation. My phone rings in my pocket.
I pull it out, answering it and bringing it to my ear. "Hello."
"Happy birthday beautiful." Harry's voice makes my cheeks turn red. "Don't go all silent on me now." I was going to respond but then the phone was no longer in my hand.
"Hi, my name's Violet, and today's my sister's birthday. I just wanted to make sure she gets a happy birthday." I reach for the phone but she runs away.
"Violet." I laugh.
"Oh you sound sexy, is this Alex's new boyfriend." I audibly gasp trying more urgently to grab the phone.
"Ooo Alex has a boyfriend I wanna hear," Nathan says once I finally got to Violet she threw my phone at him. "Hello, my name is Nathan. What is yours?" I rush over to him but I can't be physically with him.
"Nathan, please let me have the phone," I whine. He laughs, shooing me away.
"You do have a sexy voice, how old are you?" He stops talking and listens to whatever Harry was saying. "Twenty-three sounds like you are perfect. Well goodbye Harry, I'm giving the phone to my sister now." He hands the phone to me.
"You guys are assholes." I scolded my brother and sister. I put the phone to my ear. "I am sorry."
"It's alright." He laughs. "I have a younger sister so I get it." I feel better about the whole scene my family did now.
