Wednesday - My Birthday. I woke up that morning, feeling fantastic. Hamish and I had a special birthday tradition : The birthday-child can't leave their room until the other one brings in their cake. We've done this tradition since we were - well - just us.

I'd been waiting in my room for about twenty minutes and Hamish still hadn't come up yet. I looked over at my alarm clock which was reading seven o'clock. We had to leave in thirty minutes and I was starting to get a little worried considering we needed to get Bobby on the way too.

I decided it wasn't worth the wait so I just got dressed for the day anyway and made my way downstairs.

Hamish and Talulah were in the kitchen, chattering away. She was sitting on my special stool again.

As I took my first step into the kitchen Hamish turned to look at me and an expression of pure shock and horror spread across his face.

"Ollie! I'm so sorry, Sweetpea!" He yelled, nearly sprinting towards me. "The cake's ready and everything. I'm so sorry." He rushed out, kissing my cheek. "But Happy Birthday, Munchkin - I love you."

He started poking and tickling me all over and I couldn't help but burst into a fit of giggles. He scooped me up in to his arms and held me close to his chest like a baby. He continued to treat me like a little baby until we heard a sharp cough behind us, making Hamish stop his antics.

"Happy Birthday, Olivia." Talulah said with a sickening smile.

"Thanks, Tally." I snarkily replied as Hamish walked over to her.

"Hey, Babe - can I put Ollie on her seat, please?"

Yes, Hamish!

She huffed, begrudgingly stepping aside. I finally got my stool back! Hamish slid a plate over to me and my eyes must have doubled in size.

"Wow, Sweetpea - I've never known you to be so excited about pancakes." He burst out laughing.

My cheeks heated up slightly in embarrassment but I dug in anyway. Eventually finishing the stack of goodness, Hamish whisked my plate away to the sink.

"Do you want some cake now, Sweetpea, or do you want to wait until after school?" He asked me.

"Can we take a slice for Bobby? And can you take a slice for Drew?!" I asked, barely able to contain my excitement.

"Of course, Ollie." Hamish smiled.

"What about me?" Talulah piped up from the background.

A/N : The background where she belongs.

"Whenever you want." I mumbled, feeling awkward about her presence.

"Alright, let's get going then shall we?" Hamish piped up, holding four pieces of cake in his hand. "Bye, Babe."

He quickly pecked her on the lips before leading me out of the door.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAAAYYYYYYY" Bobby was yelling as he charged out of the house towards me.
