(A/N: So here comes the typical note I always make when I write a new story! I'll try and cut it short and sweet this time. Bahaha. I really hope you all enjoy it, and I love you guys. Each and everyone of you. Smooches :*)

(Gabrielle's POV)

"NICK! PUT ME DOWN!" I shouted, pounding on his back. "NOT UNTIL YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME!" He laughed, running around the house even faster. "Nicky, I feel like I'm going to get sick!" I said, after I stopped my constant pounding on his back. "Awe baby I'm sorry..." He set me down, and ran his hand through my hair. "You okay?" I smirked, and nodded. "I am now that you let me down..." I messed up his perfectly sculpted hair and ran away, Nick close behind me. "Kids, kids! Please calm down!" Mrs. Rubiano said while carrying a plate to the table. "Sorry Mrs. Rubiano.." I chuckled and took a carrot off the platter. "Mom, when are we leaving? Gab and I have been ready for like ever now!" Nick groaned, his arms moving around my waist from behind and his head leaning on my shoulder. Mrs. Rubiano smiled at the sight of us, and looked down at her phone for the time. "We're leaving in five more minutes. I just need to finish getting your brothers ready..." I looked at her, she looked beyond stressed out. "Mrs. Rubiano? Do you Nick and me to get the boys ready?" Her eyes lit up. "Do you really want to?" Nick groaned. "No, mo-" "We'd love to!" I smiled, cutting Nick off. "Great! They're upstairs, all the clothes are laying on the beds. The hard part is getting them into he clothes, especially Jakey..." She said, and then dissapeared into the kithcen. I smiled, and pulled Nick up the stairs behind me. When I made it to the top of the staircase, I found three boys running around in their underwear, making me crack up. Tristan was the first to notice me, his cheeks turning to a bright red. He immediately tried to cover himself, but failed, which made him turn even redder. "Oh, hey Gab." I smiled. "Hi cutie pie! Can you do me a favor?" "OF COURSE... I mean, um, yeah..." He smiled. "Go get dressed, and tell your brothers to get ready too. First one ready gets a surprise from me and Nick!" I smiled. "AWESOME! ALEX, JAKE, GET READY!" He yelled, running into his room. Nick looked at me, a mischevious smile spreading across his lips. "What?" I laughed, walking towards his room. He smirked and threw me back over his shoulder, making me screech. He walked into his room and dropped me on to the bed, sitting on top of me and tickling my sides. I laughed until tears started coming down my face. "Nick... Please.. Stop!" Nick smiled, and stopped, leaning down to connect our foreheads. "I really want to kiss you right now..." I smiled. "Well, do it!" His lips pressed on to mine softly at first, and then more intensely. I smiled against his lips. This was perfect. We quickly disconnected as the sound of little footsteps came closer to the door. Jakey bursted through the door, his shirt on backwards and two different shoes on. "TA DA!" He stood proudly in front of us, making me laugh. "Awe baby boy! Come here!" He walked towards me, and I fixed him. "There ya go! Looks like you win cutie pie! Here's your prize." I fished around in my purse, and gave him a small Tootsie Roll, his favorite. Jakey smiled and began running around the house screaming, "I WIN! I WIN! I WIN!" I laughed and looked at Nick, who was already looking at me, gnawing on his bottom lip. His cheeks turned bright red when we made eye contact, and I smiled, and took his hand in mine. "Let's go downstairs." We walked downstairs, only to see Mama Rubi had loaded everything into the car; including the three boys. We followed, getting into the very back seats. I smiled, and bounced in my seat excitedly. Time to head to the party...
