I then dropped them into the pool, and let me tell you it was cold, I felt it before my plan.

"Happy Birthday!" We all shouted at the top of our lungs when they resurfaced. They started to look at all of us, but when they're eyes landed on me, "Sky we're gonna kill you!" Then I bolted, I could hear them getting out of the pool and chasing after me, I was just about to climb a tree when I was tackled to the ground.

How nice they tackle a sweet innocent girl to the floor. They picked me and started to drag me back to the pool. "No please, I'm sorry guys, please don't!" I screamed at them hoping they'll show mercy. Next thing I knew I was surrounded by water, guess they don't show mercy, assh*les.

I climbed out of the pool and acted like I was mad at them, "Now you're not getting your birthday presents." I huffed and started to walk away only to be pulled into a bone crushing hug from them all.

"Pweas give us our presents Sky?" They all said in unison while showing the puppy dog eyes.

Resist the eyes, resist the eyes, resist the...

"Ugh, fine!" What I'm a sucker when it comes to those eyes. They all started to clap they're hands but Liam of course not as enthusiasticly. I went to my room to grab their presents and made my way to the living room where everyone was all seated.

They first opened everyone elses presents, none compared to mine but they were nice. When we got to my presents, Cole opened his first, iPod, she absolutey loved it, yes I know I said she because he freaking squealed like a teenage girl.

Second Will, the watch, she also went crazy, yes she again. I swear they were suppose to be girls! Finally the one who would not open his present, "Im not going to, it makes me feel old." He then proceeded to huff then cross his arms over his chest stubbornly.

I let out an audible sigh, "Liam, if you don't open your present I will make sure to torture you until you die, then once I die I will torture you even more if you do not open this present right now!" I said to him while my voice rose from every word I said. He gulped and nodded his head vigioursly. "Good, now open."

He proceeded to open his first present much to the other two complaining on how he gets more gifts than them. When he opened it everyone laughed their ass' off, I went to a costume shop and got him an old mans mask. "Now you can actually look old bro!" Will said in between laughs.

Liam just chuckled and put the mask on, "How did I look?" He said with a fake grandpa voice, to which we laughed again even harder. He then finally opened his last gift, again she squealed. "Seriously I think you guys should have been girls!" Dylan said at them while shutting his ears.

"Enough!" I yelled at all they're threats. "Can you guys just stop, look I know you're just trying to look out for me, but this was bound to happen okay! Can't you rather be happy for us rather than trying to kill my mate honestly!"

I then walked out of the room, to pissed off to look at them, why do they make it sound as if he hit me or something that bad.

I went out to sit by the pool just to be with my thoughts. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back enjoying the sunlight radiating on my face. I felt three presences sit next to me, but I didn't bother to look who it was.

"We're sorry Sky." I opened my eyes to see all my brothers sitting next to me with sadness in their eyes. "We didn't mean to make you think we weren't happy, we're just... scared." Cole said, but whispered the last word. "Why would you guys be scared?"

"Because your growing up, so you don't need us to be your big brothers to protect you anymore."

"We guess this- you being pregnant, makes it all the more real that your becoming a woman and you don't need us anymore."

I looked at all of them with guilt, I didn't know they felt this way and I just yelled at them, don't I feel like a b*tch now. "Guys, you're always gonna be my big brothers, whether you like it or not. I'll always need you no matter what, no matter how old I get I'll always need you." They smiled at me and we all had that big sibling hug. When we pulled apart the arguments began.
