Part 1

A yawn escaped my lips as I turned my body on the mess of sheets, my arm colliding with the other half of the empty bed.

I open my eyes at the emptiness, groaning as I sat up. I was super lazy right now. I stretched my arms over my head just as Ashton begins chanting happy birthday, causing me to jump in fright.

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear Kat - happy birthday to you." Ashton says kneeling on the bed as he places a plate of pancakes, fruit, orange juice and bacon in front of me, pecking my lips although I'm still in shock.

I stare at the food in surprise, my eyes traveling to a very amused Ashton. "You didn't have to." I begin but Ashton just shrugs, taking a piece of bacon and throwing it into his mouth.

"I wanted to, it's your birthday so I want to make it special." Ashton says bringing his lips to mine a couple more times, placing delicate kisses over and over again.

"Thank you." I mumble on his lips and he nods, leaving me one last kiss before sitting back with me on the bed.

"Are you sure your mother is okay with celebrating my birthday? I mean I don't even want to celebrate it so it's fine if we just don't." I ramble to Ashton as he pulls me around the side of the house, finding our way to the backyard.

"Kat shut up," Ashton chuckles turning to me before continuing to pull me through the grass. "We are celebrating your birthday and my mom is fine, now close your eyes and pretend to be surprised." Ashton says putting his hands over my eyes.

A sigh escapes my lips as he pushes the gate door open, I hear movement and my pulse begins to quicken, I was terribly nervous.

"Happy Birthday!" Multiple voice shout as Ashton uncovers my eyes, I know for a fact my face is beet red as I'm faced with Ashton's family plus some cousins, aunts and uncles. Holy fuck.

"U-Uh... Thanks..." I stutter, my hand instantly finding Ashton's. I knew it was sweaty but I didn't give a shit at the moment.

"Let me introduce you to some of the family, yeah?" He asks with a smirk. I give him a glare since he didn't tell me now if his family would be here.

I felt so out of place. Today I went back to my normal attire - black skinny jeans, my boots and an oversized flannel - nothing special. But I felt like I was the only one in dark clothing - besides Ashton, I guess. He was wearing black jeans and a graphic tee - still more colorful than me. (I didn't mean to rhyme lolz)

"Okay so this is Marshall and Penelope - my favorite cousins." Ashton says elbowing Marshall who has a buzz cut and a beard. Penelope looked a couple years younger than Marshall and us but not too young.

"Hi, nice to meet you guys." I say giving them a small smile.

"So this is ya bird your mom keeps saying your yapping about, hm?" Penelope smirks at Ashton. He shrugs, putting his arm around my shoulder. "I suppose."

"How old are you turning?" Penelope asks me, a drink of some sort in her hand.

"23." I respond nodding. "Wait to make me feel young as hell." Penelope says sighing, Marshall laughs putting his arm around her neck, ruffling her hair a bit.

"You'll be 18 in how many months?" He asks laughing and she rolls her eyes, pushing him off. "7."

Ashton and Marshall laugh at the young girl, but Ashton quickly dismisses us.

"My mom has been giving me the eyes to bring you over there so your probably going to meet my grandma." Ashton says into my ear as we near his mother, a smile on her lips as she talks to an older lady, yup, definitely his grandma.

"Happy birthday Kat, this is Ashton's Grandmother Sandra." Ashton's mom says hugging me quickly and introducing her mom to me.

I smile, my hands going to my thighs to woo the sweat. Jesus, I was sweaty so profusely.

"Oh your so beautiful... No wonder why my grand baby loves you." Sandra says softly, her eyes eyeing my up, making me even more nervous.

"So I have to ask, any grand-grandchildren soon?" Sandra asks with a crooked smile and my eyes literally bulge out, Ashton clearing his throat next to me.

"Uh... No none anytime soon..." I say nervously, Sandra chuckles and shrugs.

"You never know."
