"Wait, what do you mean?"

"Jacob's getting suspicious and I don't know what to do, Y/N..."

"Where are you guys right now?"

"Uhh, the mall?"

"Seriously Ben? The mall?"

"In my defense, it was all Jake's idea...."

"Virtanen? You really got to say whether it was Markström or Virtanen since both their names are Jacob..."

"Hey, Jake goes by Jake; not Jacob!"

"Have you seen his Instagram profile? It states Jacob Virtanen...."

"Whatever..How long until we can get to Rogers?"

"I'll let you know...But Eddie hasn't texted me that he was here, yet..."

"Läck? Wait, he's flying in right now?"

"Yeah, I've been tracking his flight with the flight number he gave me and it estimated that he'll be here in 20 minutes...."

"So, do you want me to pick him up?"

"That'd be helpful...Especially since it's taking Bo and Brandon forever to get here with the cake..."

"Sutter or Prust, Y/N?"

"Hahaha, real funny. Sutter...You guys just go to the airport after you got Jacob his presents and things, then head over to the airport. Y/N out."

"Talk to you later, Hutton out, peace!"

"There you guys are! What took you so long?" I saw Bo panting while Brandon was carrying in the 5 tiers of Jacob's birthday cake from his favorite bakery in Vancouver.

"The car...broke down...6 blocks ago...so, we had to...run as fast...as we could....Man, I really need to sit down!" Bo caught up with his breathing while I was helping Brandon carry the cake.

"Luckily for you, Virtanen just texted me that they'll be here in 10 more minutes....Places everyone!" Brandon easily set the cake down on the table.

"Crap, get into positions, people...Our birthday boy's about to be here very soon!" I clapped my hands, getting everyone to get into their hiding spots.

"Are you guys ever going to tell about what we're doing?" I heard Markström sigh from the driver's seat and I saw Ben hesitating.

"What are we supposed to do?" Ben softly whispered to me and I shrugged.

"Tell him to drive to the airport..." I whispered back and avoided Jacob's eye-contact.

Ben nodded his head before looking up at Jacob, "Hey Jacob, my relatives are coming into town and I was hoping if we could go pick them up at the airport?"

"Of course, Ben." Jacob smiled. "We'll be there in a jiffy!"

I looked at him like he was a little crazy. "Did you just say jiffy?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Nothing...I-nevermind!"

"Okay? Whatever you say, Jake...."

"Where are they? I thought you said someone was going to pick me up!" I sighed into the phone and I heard Y/N groan on the other side.

"Virtanen, Hutton, and Markström still aren't there!?" Anger flew through Y/N's words and I slightly winced.

"When does the party start?"

"In about 5 minutes, dammit!"

"What!? Wait, what does Hutton's car look like?"

"Jacob's actually driving...At least, that's what they told me! I don't know, it's probably a silver Honda Civic? Just look for the 6'6 goalie driving a small car...."

"I think I see them! I'll see you at Rogers, talk to you later."

"See you at the party, Eddie, bye!"

I saw Jake and Ben run towards where I was, catching up with their breaths and had scared faces on.

"Eddie! Come on before Jacob storms in here in his bad temper!" Jake grabbed by the arm and I saw Ben taking my luggage.

"Marky-Mark mad? Please, he's probably one of the most smiling people on the planet!"

"That's actually Curtis Lazar, but anyways, come on!"

"Okay, but can we stop at Timmy's for a quick second? I didn't have any of the airplane food...."

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea..."

We ran quickly to the Tim Horton's not too far from the pickup zone and got our coffees and food before we ran back down carefully and got to the car.

"Finally, you guys are here...Eddie? Is that you?" I quickly got into the car and set my coffee on the cup-holders.

"Surprise?" I weakly chuckled.

"What are you doing here?"

"Y/N flew me in all the way from Carolina for your birthday?"

"Speaking of your birthday, hey Jacob?" Jake nodded his head at Markström.

"Yeah, Jake?" Markström looked at Virtanen with a quizzical look.

"Coach just texted me that we have a mandatory practice in 2 minutes...We have to go to Rogers very quickly or we'll get benched...Hurry up!"

"Alright, geez!"

I heard footsteps and I slowly stood up, my finger ready to flick on the light. Turning the light on, everyone jumped out yelling "Surprise!", but it just was Prust...

"My birthday's not even until March..." He looked a little confused before Daniel whispered something in his ear. "Ohh...Anyways, carry on!"

I turned the lights off before I heard chatter coming out of the same entryway. Immediately, I turned the lights back on and everyone yelled birthday wishes for Jacob.

"Happy birthday, babe." I smiled, getting the cake from the table adjacent to me and gave him a kiss.

"What....How....Was all this your idea?" Jacob was at a loss for words, he was just standing there stammering and being nervous.

"Yes, yes it was...Anyways! It's time for your birthday wish!"

"But I already made my wish...."

"You are such a cheeseball!"

"But, I'm your cheeseball, Y/N..."

"That you are, Jacob, that you are."

"Geez, I love you."

"I love you too..."
