       As soon as Jake walked into the suite, Newt jumped up from his spot on the ground and ran over to him, wrapping his arms around his legs. "Hiya, Jake!" 

       Jake closed the door and picked up Newt. "So, I see how this works. When your dad is here, then you pretend to like me."

       "What? No, I do love you, Jakey," Newt said. "I told you two days ago when Daddy wasn't around."

       "He really does love you," I said. "Like I told you, he's just a drama queen."

       "King," Newt corrected.

       "Sorry, drama king," I said. "I thought you were having dinner with the others."

       "I was, but Logan was being too lovey-dovey with Infinity, so Flynn, Lilly, and I left," Jake said. "Besides, it is my favorite little boy's birthday today, so I wanted to come here instead of watching my brother being gross."

       "I'm your favorite little boy?" Newt asked.

       "I think he's only saying that because you're the only little boy he knows," I said.

       Newt gasped. "Jakey! I thought you loved me!"

       "I do love you," Jake said. "And I'm not saying that because you're the only little boy I know. I'm kind of obligated to love you because your dad is my boyfriend."

       "That's rude," Newt said. "Daddy, Jakey is being mean to me."

       Jake rolled his eyes and set Newt on the ground. "Hey, how about I go buy you a cookie as a birthday present? Because I honestly didn't buy you a present."

       "See, Daddy? Jakey is still mean to me," Newt said. "He didn't buy me a present."

       "Probably because I'm poor," Jake said. "School costs a lot of money. So, you want a cookie or not?"

       "Yes, please," Newt said.

       I stood up from the couch. "I'll come too." 

       The three of us headed to the lounge with Jake carrying Newt. Munro was there and when he saw the three of us, he walked over. "Okay, two things," he said before looking at Jake. "One, did your brother go through with proposing?"

       "Yeah, finally," Jake said. "He was going to chicken out again, so I had to convince him to go through with it. He just didn't go on one knee because the idea of it was what was freaking him out the most. Flynn was ready to slap Logan when he found out Logan wasn't going to go through it again."

       "What's the second thing?" I asked.

       Munro sighed and looked at me. "I kind of saw someone check in today that I'm pretty sure you're not going to be happy to see."
