"Happy 17th Birthday, guys!" Chastity smirked excitedly placing down their presents. Freddie and Aurelia gave their father odd looks before eyeing up the large presents before them. "Uh, I might have bumped into a few people who know about you," he added bashfully. Cordelia smirked from her seat, rolling her eyes.

"A few, Chas? These look as if you've been visiting an army. Who did you see?"

"Well, there's Tomo (Symth-Song), the Harkness siblings (since they're busy), Giovanni as he's been grounded but Bertie and Lice are coming. There are some old faces of the past, oh, and my grandparents." Cordelia's eyes widened.

"You saw your grandparents, I thought you couldn't?"

"Only my father can't because of a paradox but we can. We being myself, Jacob and Magda that is." Chastity explained casually. "Magda even lived there through her teens because she needed her own space. I think that's when she got pregnant."

"Pregnant?" His face was a picture. Freddie and Aurelia kindly excused themselves, taking the presents with them. They mentioned about setting a pile up in the dining room for later on.

"I thought you knew about Magda having a son. You're both close, aren't you?" Cordelia looked angry at his words.

"I thought we were. Me, Mags and Vera are supposed to be the three musketeers," her tone was calm which frightened Chastity. This meant she was angry with his sister. "They're my sisters and I can't believe Mags didn't tell me."

"If it makes you any better, she didn't tell me or Jacob. We only found out when he burst into our lives and tried to kill her." Cordelia's eyes widened at his words. Why did Magdalene's own child want to do that?

"Happy birthday!" Amalia greeted as she walked into the house being steadied by Kaleb. Like Aurelia, she was glowing and Frank Taylor was watching her intensely. But his eyes moved away when he saw Astrid enter the house behind them.

"Oh my god! You look so beautiful," Aurelia fussed over her friend smiling happily. The red head leaned over and cooed at the blonde's bump as Sebastian gazed on with worry. "How are you doing in there, Baby Holmes? Auntie Aurelia, Uncle Sebastian and Baby Haynes cannot wait to meet you."

"They're doing it again," Freddie smirked over as both girls fussed over each other. Kaleb and Sebastian both mirrored his expression, letting them continue to squeal over their pregnant bellies. Zayn then entered the house, holding two presents in one hand and his cane in the other. Leaving the girls to their fussing, he slowly approached the other guys.

"Happy birthday, Freddie." His tone was quiet almost shy and Freddie couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He took the gifts and turned around to place them on the two piles.
