"My head has never hurt this bad." Alex said as he opened the kitchen cabinet in search of Advil.

"Why are you yelling?" Marley said, holding a hand over her eyes.

"That was barely a whisper." Cole smiled.

"Loud ass whisper," Vlasic said as he stumbled into the kitchen.

"Good morning boys and girls." Quinn said, walking into the apartment with boxes of donuts and a tray of coffee's from Starbucks.

"Hey Quinn." I smiled before I chugged my glass of water.

"Little short on the coffee's eh?" Trevor asked.

"Nah, the rest are on their way up." Quinn smiled.

"What?" I asked.

"Somebody order seventeen coffees?" The most familiar voice filled my apartment and I turned to the door to see three more of my favorite faces.

"You did not." I said to Quinn.

"You really thought your little brothers were going to miss your birthday?" Brady asked as he set two more trays down and rapped his arms around me, lifting me off the ground as he now towered over me.

"Oh, and me." Luke said as he walked in.

"Hey Dukes." I grinned as I hugged him.

"Happy birthday beautiful." He said.

"Watch it." Liam told him before hugging me as the boys laughed.

As the guys had their reunions and some of them packed their things to leave Christina, Marley and I feasted on the donuts and coffee.

"So how was your birthday?" Quinn asked.

"Amazing." I smiled, leaning into him. "Thank you for everything, my brothers and you and Luke, it was the best surprise."

"Of course."

"And mainly, thank you for sticking around." I half smiled. "I know it puts you in a sticky situation with your brother and I never intended for any of this, obviously. I just really appreciate you being here for me all the time."

"You don't need to thank me, Peyton. I said it once and I'll say it again, you're family." Quinn smiled.

"Especially after we get married." Luke said, draping his arm over my shoulder.

"Oh, really?" I laughed. "Show me what I'm missing then Dukes."

"What?" He stuttered.

"You talk a big game, let's see it. Lay one on me, right now." I smiled.

"Oh, what? Wait, I--" He panicked.

"Get outta here." I playfully shoved him as I stood up and Quinn laughed.
