(Epilogue) Happy Birthday!

(Now the real epilogue. Shout out to my reader & patron Nen who first proposed this idea.)

A few months later and it is your birthday!

You wake up your mom and sisters all wishing you bright and happy birthday wishes. You smile and hug them and thank them. They make you breakfast and you all sit together for a wonderful family meal. Afterward gifts are produced. You excited unwrap the gifts.

Your mother gives you a beautifully framed picture of "her princes". It is a photo she had taken a few weeks ago when you and Casey were all fancied up to go to one of her drama professor's retirement party. You had on a nice grey and black suit with no tie. Casey wore a flowing white and red gown. Both of you stood in front of your shiny red Cadillac. You really looked a fine and good looking couple. The picture really had come out well. It was in a nice frame.

"You can hang it anywhere around the house." Your mother smiles. "The living room would be nice. With the other family photos." You grin. Casey being included with the family photos meant a lot to you. Casey meant a lot to you.

Elsie gives you a silver chain with a birthstone amulet. It was really nice! And actually quite masculine in design. The amulet was a simple triangular design with five birthstones set into it. At each corner were the birthstones of you, Fiona, and Elsie. In the center were the ones for your mom and dad set side by side. Both your mother and Fiona like it as much as you do, each of you touched by this symbol of your family connection. You put it on right away and wear it proudly.

Fiona...gives you nothing. She just shrugs and says she forgot. She says she'll pick you something up later.

That morning Peg and Chloe also swing by as a surprise. They too wish you a very happy birthday. They too had presents.

Chloe...being Chloe...gives you a big floppy twelve inch double sided dildo. She doesn't even wrap it, there was just a big pink bow wrapped around the middle. You all laugh and you thank her for it, kissing her forehead and rubbing her head as you might a child. She grins happily.

Peg gives you a small thin envelope. You take it from her with a smile. It was very thin. You open it up with a clean butter knife to find inside two items. A slip of paper that simply reads "Do you love yourself?" And a cheque for... 50,000 dollars!!!

You and everyone else besides Chloe are floored by the amount!

"Oh! Oh Peg!" Your mother says. "Oh my!"

You look up at her. "Peg...this is too much. This is..."

She lays a hand on your chest. "You're just starting your adventure Jesse. Your wonderful adventure with that lovely girl. This will help you both along the way. I believe in you Jesse." She looks to El and Fiona...and produces two more envelopes. "I believe in all of you. You three can do anything you put your minds to."

Chloe giggles. "Are you surprised?"

"Uhhh...yeah!" You stammer. "Oh god Aunt Peg. Thank you!" You bring her in the biggest, longest, hardest hug of your life. The rest of the family soon joins in.

Needless to say the rest of the morning goes swimmingly.

After an hour or so you really had to get to class. And more importantly...you needed to see your baby!

You zip over to Casey's place, excited to tell her about your gifts...only to find she wasn't home. Felix said she had gone out early that day. Strange. You call her. No answer. You text her. No response. You email her. No reply.

Fuck, today of all days! What was going on?

You go through your classes and busy yourself with work. Various times throughout the day you try to contact her. Once, and only once, do you get a reply. A text saying. "Love you babe. Busy, busy, busy. Talk to you later." And nothing after that. Had she forgotten it was your birthday?

Fuck...you missed her SO much. Birthday or not, it was weird not seeing your lover for so long.

Later that night you are at home and feeling absolutely glum. Fiona sees you on the couch looking down. She strides up and sits beside you and slaps your shoulder. "Why so blue bro?"

"I haven't seen Casey all day." You say. "And it's my birthday and..."

"Oh shit!" Fiona exclaims. "I never got you a gift."

You roll your eyes. Fuckin Fiona.

"Come on!" She says. Grabbing you by the arm she lifts you up off of the couch and pulls you for the door. "Come on, I'll get ya something."

"I...don't really feel like going out. Besides, what if Casey calls?" You say.

She kisses your cheek hard. "Then I'll drop you off at her place. Come on. Let me get you something."

"Fine." You say glumly.

You walk out to Fiona's car and get in, distracted and slightly depressed. Fiona begins to drive and puts the music on low.

Casey hadn't said she was busy today. Did she really forget your birthday? Was everything okay between you? Your heart was gripped with worry.

You hadn't been paying attention to where you were going when Fiona suddenly stops the car. You look around to see you were outside a rather nice looking hotel. "What's this?"

Fiona produces a card from her pocket and hands it to you. "Happy Birthday brother."

You take it. It was one of those card key things that hotels often used. Room 915.

"What...?"

Fiona reaches past you and opens your door. Then rather roughly shoves you out onto the sidewalk. You stumble out of the car and look back at her. She grins as she closes the door behind you. "I'll pick you up in the morning. 11 am."

Slam! The door closes and off she goes.

You watch her drive away then look down at the card in your hand. Well...being Fiona...this ought to be interesting. You turn and walk into the hotel. You take the elevator up to the ninth floor. You find room 915. You use the card and the door lock clicks open. You enter the room and close the door behind you. It was dark in here, the light from the crack in the curtains the only illumination in the room. You enter in and turn the corner to see...
