EVAN'S POV
3 MONTHS LATER
I woke up to someone shaking me. I looked down at the foot of the bed and saw Oakley jumping up and down.

"Daddy! Mommy! Wake up, it's my birthday"!

I rolled over to see Zoe still half asleep. I gently kissed the end of her nose which caused a sweet smile to appear.

"Evan, what are you doing"? She chuckled

"We have big day ahead of us, it's someone's birthday"!

Zoe chuckled again but this time she sat up. I headed downstairs to make breakfast. I heard someone knock on the door. I knew it was Connor.

I greeted him inside.

"Hey, Connor! Nice to see you".

"Hey Ev, so.. where is the birthday boy"?

"Zoe's getting him dressed. Come on in, I'm making breakfast".

"Cool, his present is in the back of my truck. He'll have to come outside to open it". Connor smirked

"What did you get him"? I asked almost scared

Connor likes to spoil Oakley. He always gets him huge expensive presents.

"Come outside, I'll show you".

Connor lead me outside to his blue Ford-F150, in the back was a smaller Ford-F150, a battery powered one for kids (Pic above). My jaw dropped in complete shock.

"Do you think he'll like it"? Connor asked me

"He'll love it. Zoe... might actually flip out though". I chuckled

"Yeah, I know. She'll probably kill me... metaphorically... but I kind of figured she'll freak out about how dangerous this somehow is. As long as an adult watches... he'll be just fine. I mean, I is meant for kids ages 3 and up. He's 4 now... so it's perfect". Connor beemed

"How much was this"? I asked scraching the back of my head

"Don't worry about it, Evan. I don't care how expensive it is... Oakley is my nephew and he'd be getting the world if it were possible".

"Fine, but for my own knowledge... how much"?

"About 600$" .

"Connor! What the heck..."?!

"It's fine, he deserves it".

I sighed knowing no matter how many times I fight him... it's not going to matter. Somethings never change...

"That's not all though"! Connor suddenly said

"You did not buy anything else". I gasped

"I didn't buy this... I made this"! Connor said climbing into the back of his truck to open the trunk of the little truck. He pulled out a wooden sign, it said "Lil Connor" on it.

"Connor, this is awesome... you made this"?

"Yeah, I made it at work when I had spare time".

Connor works with wood. He has his own business where he makes wooden furniture or really anything else you would want out of wood. He's a very talented craftsman....... even though he totally cuts down trees....

"We better get back inside before the surprise is ruined". Connor laughed as he jumped down

Once we arrived back in the house, Oakley was sat in front of the TV. He seemed really busy watching Bubble Guppies.... I hate this show...

Zoe was making some food with her phone up to her ear talking. The way she was speaking was like it was someone important. I decided not to bother her but to slyly listen in.
