Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?

Chapter 252 Surprise

Jayce’s P.O.V. Suddenly the door to our bed room opens and Papa and Pops start singing “Happy Birthday to you”, making Hunter burst into tears. I know she was upset that no one wished her a Happy Birthday and that that was partially the reason she blew at Mom. Both men stop singing as they hear her cry and they immediately start to apologize, but Hunter tells them she thought everyone had forgotten her birthday. I want to kick my own ass if it were possible, because Jax and I had been to preoccupied to remember as well. Luckily we already had a gift for her and when we found out Jason and Justin would be returning today Jax and I had decided to wait until they were present to give it to her. Pops hands her a wrapped box and tells her it is a present from him and Papa. She takes the gift as she tells them to follow her to our living-room, I pull her onto my lap before she can sit down. Jax sits down next to us as she peels open the wrappings. She slowly pushes the box out of the side she opened and I see her eyes widen as she is holding a new laptop in her hands. “We figured that with your studies you might like to have a bigger screen.” The laptop she is currently using has a fourteen inch screen, while this one has a sixteen inch screen. She shoves the box in Jax’s hands as she jumps up and hugs both her Grandfathers. Yeah, our Princess likes her present and I know she will really like the present we got her, Justin was the one that came up with the idea. Jason purchased it to make sure it was ready to go when we would give it to her and we all know she will be jumping up and down from joy. There is not much Hunter wants in life, but the things she does want she will get and I don’t care if anyone thinks we are spoiling her. She is our Princess and Mate, which in my book means we get to spoil her as much as we want. Even though I have an idea Papa and Uncle Drake will spoil her way worse than we will. Matt links me that they are coming up with her cake and I smile as I remember the discussion between Martha and Max on the flavor of the cake. Max wanted chocolate, while Martha wanted strawberries and I nearly gave them a heart attack when I told them Hunter didn’t like either. Unfortunately Jason had to ruin it by walking in to the kitchen and tell them that both were her favorite flavor. I had smacked him on the head, making him understand that I had been teasing the two of them. Hunter’s P.O.V. I wasn’t mad that Jayce and Jax didn’t wish me Happy Birthday, after all we had other things on our minds and it had even slipped my mind for a moment. Jason and Justin had wished me a Happy Birthday when I linked them, even though I think I scared the shit out of them by doing it. Mom had not mentioned it as she was talking to Jax and when I heard her remark to him I panicked. She sounded pissed off and I knew how she reacts when she is like that. I didn’t blame the rest of the family as I never told them my birthday was coming up, but it surprised me that Mom had not mentioned it to any of them. When Pops and Papa walked in singing I wasn’t sure what to do, cry because they did remember or yell for them to stop before I would turn deaf. I opted with crying as I needed to let some of my emotions out of my system and crying was the fastest and easiest way. Justice is very unhappy with Mom and if I had not put up my walls she would have given Mom a piece of her mind, but I want to have all the information before I say anything. “Surprise” I hear behind me and as I turn I see my friends standing there with Max holding a cake. There are little candles on top of it and they are all lit up. I smile as Max gently puts the cake on the coffee table, “Happy Birthday, Princess.” He says as he pulls me into his arms. Emma and Ella are the next to pull me in for a hug and as I look over their shoulders I see that they are already packed for our trip. Matt pulls me out of their arms saying it is his turn to hug the birthday girl and after that I get a hug from Victor.
