Eric's POV
Ashley and the boys told us adults that they wanted to plan a birthday surprise for both Abby and Putzie. So the girls are going to distract Abby while the boys will distract Putzie. I offer to bake the cake for them while the Zukos', Murdochs', LaTierris', Del Fugeos' and the Jacobs' set up for the party. As I was baking the cake, I saw Dylan walking in. "How's the cake coming?" He asked me.
"Great." I smiled. "I want to make the chocolate cake since that was Abby's favorite ever since she was a little girl."
He smiled.
"I want her birthday to be the best." I added.
"And it will." He assured.
I let out a sigh.
"I can't believe I made my own child's life a living hell." I stated.
I finally look up at him.
"But I want to say thank you…" I started. "For taking in my little girl and…"
He pats my arm.
"Hey, we think of her as our daughter." He smiled.
I smiled at him.
"Always will." He adds.
"Thanks Dylan." I say.
"Anytime man." He smiled. "Here let me help."
So we baked the cake for the kids.
