I dropped Hope home, she was not happy with me leaving her alone but didn't say anything.

I went to get some gifts and cake for her. It was almost 8 when I returned home. As I stopped in the driveway, I saw Brian getting out of his car. He waved at me. "How are you, Brian?" I asked hugging him.

"Maria is keeping me on my toes because of her mood swings and cravings. Rest everything is going great. You look happy lil sis." he said.

"What are you doing here then, you should be with her tending to her cravings." I said.

"Mom invited us for dinner. Maria has been here since this afternoon." he said.

As we were talking dad pulled up. He smiled at us. Three of us entered the house together.

Our wives were sat on the living room couch cuddled together and crying while watching a movie.

"Well seems like someone is having a good time." Dad said breaking their sob fest.

"He built a telescope for her" mom said sniffing, dad went towards them and sat next to mom, wiping her tears.

Brian sat next to Maria. He hugged her, kissed her belly then asked, "What you ladies watching?" Maria answered, "A walk to remember."

I went towards Hope, she stood up from the couch. I kissed her forehead and pulled her to sit with me in the love seat.  "Do you like this movie?" I whispered in her ear. She shivered and nodded her head.

All of us watched the film, cuddled next to our partners. It felt nice spending time with my family. The dinner went well with light conversations and laughter.

Hope and I returned to our room. "It was a good day. Mom and Maria are very nice, we talked a lot and they even shared some of your funny childhood incidents.  And finally, the exams are over. So, I'll sleep all day tomorrow and party all night." she said enthusiastically and skipped towards the closet.

Her calling my mum as mom made me feel good that she is trying to be a part of the family and is not feeling awkward.

Hope slept but I went out to get the bags that I left in the car earlier and kept inside the closet. Sleep was still far away from my eyes as I kept on thinking about tomorrow.

I woke up at 6 and made all the preparations. Setting the gift bags next to the bed, I arranged the balloons and got the cake.

Then I played Taylor Swift's song 22 as she was her favorite artist and went near her. "Hope, get up" she rubbed her eyes adjusting them to light. And squeal in excitement and sing along to the song.

"Happy Birthday Hope" I wished, pecking her lips. She blushed and said a small Thank you. I kept the cake in front of her. She blew the candle with teary eyes. I sang Happy birthday as she cut the cake. I got some cake on my finger and put it on her nose.

"Here are your gifts." I said giving her the bags and sat on the bed.

She opened them one by one, it was a black long sleeve corset dress, matching black heels with a silver bracelet and earrings.

"Oh my god Haven, these are beautiful. Thank you Thank you so much." She jumped in excitement and hugged me. And kept on repeating Thank yous. "She pulled from the hug, still straddling me and said, "I am so happy."

Her lips were just an inch away from mine. Once she realized how close we were, she looked into my eyes, then at my lips and bit her lips looking into my eyes.

"Hope, can I... can I kiss you?" I asked looking at her lips. She nervously bit her lips again and nodded.

"I need words kitten." she blushed and said whispered a small "yes."
