LUKE'S POV
"Have you guys thought of what we should do on Emily's birthday?" Calum asked, raising an eyebrow. He was in his favorite blue sweatpants that his mother got him, sipping on a cup of coffee.
"I don't know man," Michael chuckled, "Stop being such a mom, Calum."
"Hey!"
"GEEZ THAT'S FUCKING JOKE!"
"Guys," I gave them a death glare, "Stop."
"O'right, o'right. Chill," Michael shrugged, "About the gifts, I think I'm gonna give her a PS4."
"Michael, I highly doubt a girl who spends half of her life in an orphanage knows how to play video games. It's basically an educational prison," Calum is the one who's shrugging off now.
To be quite honest, I don't even know what I should give her. Everybody here is making a fuss about it, well, not because it is her first birthday, but it's her first birthday that she'll be celebrating with us. Maybe a bear that'll remind her of me? No ew. Her favorite band?-
"Hey guys, what was Emmy's favorite band again?"
"I don't remember much," it was Ashton, "It was something like Hotel's Neutral Milk or Neutral Hotel Milk but I'm pretty sure she only listens to their songs. She's not that crazy obsessive type."
'Ah, right.' I thought.
She did say about not wanting to have a party, because she has no friends here yet. And she did say that she has already gotten her gift – a family. Just when I was about to-
"Pandora..." came out of my mouth.
"Pandora? As in the charm bracelet?" Michael asked, "Whatever, still getting her a PS4."
"No, you fucktard. I'm gonna get her a Pandora. I got it for my mom once, except that it wasn't a bracelet." I explained. I knew these stuffs. I'm a good son.
"Then what is it? A breadstick?" Michael asked.
"It was a necklace. There was a locket that came along with it and I had the Pandora workers to put the picture of Ben, Jake, and I in it," I said, "We could give her the same thing. It's something that she'll own forever and won't get broken or something. I think it's pretty cute."
"Yeah, I think it's a pretty good idea for you.. I just don't know what to give her yet," Calum shrugged, frowning. "I want to give her the most perfect gift ever."
"Oh, Cal. I'm pretty sure you'll get her an amazing gift," Ashton said, "You know, why don't you ring up Mali and ask her? I think she'll know what a girl would like."
"On it," he said, before ringing Mali up. Grabbing his phone on the table in front of him and dialing her number as fast as he could. He walk out of the area and left 3 of us here, sitting around, thinking of a gift.
"Hey Luke, I think I'm still gonna get her a PS4."
"Whatever floats your boat, Michael. Whatever floats your boat."

EMILY'S POV
"Happy Birthday to you! Woooo!" It was the last phrase in the song. And with that I blew my 15 candle, suddenly reminiscing back to my 13 birthday which was two years ago..
All of my dads were surrounding me. They had invited a few close friends of theirs and family members to join this party. Everyone around me happily sang a happy birthday, so I just stayed quiet and smile. I blew the candles as soon as the song is over.
"Happy 13th, sweetheart. I'm sorry we missed out big time on you," Luke hugged me, along with a kiss on my temple.
"It's okay, at least you're here now," I said, "I love you."
