"So are you ready to meet my crazy family?" Kyle asked Lily as they walked up to the front door of the Grey home.
"As ready as I'll ever be" Lily said.
Kyle opened the front door and as he and Lily walked in they ran into Maxine.
"Hello Kyle, it's good to see you up and around" she said with a smile then turned to Lily, "And Lily it's good to see you again" then turning back to Kyle, "Peter and Gillian are in the kitchen with Ned"
"Ok" Kyle said, and he and Lily headed off to the kitchen, but not before running into Lauren first. Her view was obstructed by the numerous presents and she bumped into Kyle's leg.
"Hey Cousin Kyle" she said in her annoyingly high voice, as she hurried off on her way.
"Hi Lauren" Kyle said to her retreating back, and Lily looked at him questioningly, but Kyle just shrugged.
When they reached the kitchen they saw that it was very brightly decorated, along with the dinning room. Different colored streamers hung from the ceiling and there was a big banner above the dinning room table that said in bright letters 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'.
"Hey Kyle" Peter said when he noticed the two of them had entered the room.
"Hey Peter, Gillian this is Lily" Kyle said introducing her Lily.
"Hey" Lily said as she gave a small wave.
"Hello Lily and this is Ned" Gillian said smiling, and then Maxine followed by Lauren hurried in to the room.
"Shh Mom's here" Lauren said as she turned off the lights.
The next sound heard was the front door opening and closing.
"Ma, Lauren I'm home" Amy's voice could be heard throughout the silent house. "Anybody home?" they heard her yell, and could hear her foot steps getting closer.
Amy walked into the kitchen, turned on the lights and she was immensely surprised when everyone shouted a big "SURPRISE!"
As Amy looked around at her family and decorations that were everywhere she couldn't help but smile.
They were all sitting in the brightly lit dinning room happily eating cake, when Lauren casually asked "Cousin Kyle, how did you get shot?"
All heads turned to Kyle no really had heard what had happened but Amy interrupted, "Lauren I don't think now's the time..."
"Well Lauren I don't remember exactly what happened" Kyle went on as if it were no big deal, ignoring Amy, "Just hearing a gun go off, going to the front lobby, where there was a bank robber with a gun...and the next thing that I remembered was waking up in the ICU" Kyle said as he continued to eat his cake.
The room was silent for a while until Ned, who was sitting in his highchair between Peter and Gillian, decided that it would be funny to grab a clump of his cake and through it in his dad's face.
The entire room, including Peter burst out laughing as the icing slowly slid down the side of Peter's face.
Lily who was sitting next to Kyle looked over at him and saw that even though Kyle was laughing along with everyone else he had a look of pain in his eyes but it looked as though she was the only one who noticed.
Peter meanwhile scoped a hand full of the cake off of his face and attempted to through it back at his son, but he missed and hit Amy in the face.
Amy was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered and she picked up a handful of her own cake and screamed "FOOD FIGHT!" as she threw it back and Peter who ducked causing it to hit Gillian, beginning an all out war.
