"Happy belated birthday Addy." Fleur hummed, giving Adelaide a slice of cake.
"Thanks, mama." Adelaide smiled.
"How do you feel?"
"Nervous." She chuckled.
"Eighteen is a big age." Fleur nodded.
"I know."
"Still can't drink though." Morgan pointed.
"I still think that law's stupid." Fleur shrugged,"In France, you can drink at eighteen."
"Same in England." Elijah added as he walked in.
"Uncle Jah." Adelaide smiled, running up to him.
"You're all grown-up, Junebug." Elijah hugged her.
"If I'm getting old that means you are too." Adelaide shrugged.
"Your dad's older than I am." Elijah pointed.
"Yeah, but he'll take away my present if I'm mean to him." Addy laughed.
"We can be mean to him for you?" Reid suggested.
"You? Mean to me?" Morgan chuckled.
"Remember the prank war?"
"Oh god." Fleur shook her head
"We can have another round of that." Elijah nodded,"But worse."
"Oh yeah, mama told me about that." Adelaide chuckled.
"I think it would be a great idea to do it again."
"No, no." Morgan pointed.
"Aw, come on. You had so much fun." Elijah hummed.
"I did not. You guys are horrible." Morgan pointed.
"Okay- It's about me today, no arguments." Addy hummed.
"Addy's right." Elijah nodded,"And we brought you your present."
"You got me a present?" Addy turned.
"You're my niece, of course i did."
"What did you get me?" She smiled.
"It's in here." Elijah handed a bag to her.
Adelaide hummed, opening the bag,"You got me tickets to the new Wicked musical?"
"Do you like them?" He asked.
"Of course I like them." Addy smiled.
"I'm glad."
"Wait- Who's coming with me?"
"That would be your choice." Fleur hummed.
"You could take your mother, a school friend." Morgan hummed,"Anyone you like."
"I'll have to think about it." Addy nodded.
"You've got ages to think about it." Elijah assured her.
"I'll let you guys know my choice eventually."
"Alright, honey." Morgan patted her shoulder.
"Thank you, all of you..I love everything." Addy smiled.
"I'm just happy that you're happy." Elijah told her.
"I'm always happy." Addy shrugged.
"Well, let's hope it stays that way." He smiled.

"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for the delay. The system was down. We overwork her. And I had to go into the belly of the beast who I've affectionately nicknamed Persephone, and do some machine whispering. Thank you, which is good, because this one is a doozy." Garcia began.
