A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews if you want the story to go on. Keep up the suggestions as well, you never know when one might pop up in the story, thanks. Enjoy!

Vince POV

I heard the front door open so I went to see who it was. I was waiting on Iris to get there. I hadn't seen her in almost a year and I wanted to know her answer. I was hoping she would say yes.

I walked in the front room to see Iris standing there. She had changed so much in one year. She had dyed her hair and pierced a few more places, but she was still my other daughter. She turned and smiled at me.

"I am so glad your hear." I said.

"Thanks so much for telling me about it." she said.

"You are his sister. You out of everyone needs to be here for his 40th birthday." I said. She was laughing.

"He is officially an old man, now." she said. I was laughing at her. Linda walked in and saw Iris.

"Come here!" she said and pulled her in a hug.

"How are you?" Iris asked Linda. She would visit Linda when she could, during her chemo.

"I am better; it is so good to see you." Linda said. Iris smiled at her. Stephanie walked into the room.

"Iris!" she squealed.

"Stephanie, keep it down. Paul doesn't know she is here." I said.

"Sorry, it is so good to see you." Stephanie told her as she hugged her.

"Come on. Iris, grab the cake. You can shove it in his face." I said. Iris grabbed the cake and waited while Linda had the good cake.

Stephanie walked out the back door where everyone was and gathered everyone around. The people were sitting in and around the pool. Paul was sitting by the pool in a patio chair.

"Alright, now, we have to sing Happy Birthday to Paul before we bring out the cake." she said.

Everyone brought sang and then Iris started to walk out. People were shocked.

Iris POV

I walked out with the cake. People were shocked. John stared at me with shock. Randy was smiling and Dave had a dead stare locked on me.

I walked up to Paul who was in shock.

"Happy birthday, Paul." I said and shoved it in his face. People were laughing and Paul was shocked.

"What the hell?" he asked me.

"I had to give you your birthday cake." I said to him. He was laughing at me. I handed him a towel as people began to eat some of the cake that Linda had.

A few hours later:

I was sitting there with Paul, Stephanie, and Vince talking. The twins were so cute and adorable.

"You ever going to swim?" a person asked me as they walked up.

"I might." I said and smiled as I looked at Randy.

"Come on." he said and threw me into the pool. I resurfaced as Randy jumped in and splashed me again. I was laughing at him.

We were swimming and people were beginning to leave. I invited Randy over to my new house. He accepted because he was sharing a room with John. John and Christy would have kicked him out anyway.

I was telling everyone bye and walked over to Randy, who was with John.

"I am leaving." Randy said to John, who seemed more interested in Christy.

"Alright bye." John said.

"See ya, Christy." I told her.

"Bye, Iris, we on for shopping tomorrow?" she asked me. John perked up when he heard it was me.

"Yeah, I'll pick you up at noon." I said.

"Later." she said. I waved bye to John, who was just looking at me.

I drove Randy back to my house.

"Nice car." he said as we got to the gate of my house.

"Thanks, I got it from Vince as a present for graduating from law school." I told him. He was admiring my hummer, an original.

We pulled through the gate and up to my new house. Randy's jaw dropped.

"WOW!" he said.

"You like it?" I asked him. He nodded.

Randy POV

We pulled up to a large, brick, Victorian style house. It was huge and very detailed. We walked in and it only got better. The front corridor had a fountain in the middle of the floor and was surrounded by marble.

I was in awe as she showed me the rest of the house. She had it fully furnished and it was beautiful. I loved her room. She had her room done in blacks. Every room had a theme and was expertly done.

"Who decorated this?" I asked her.

"Me and Stephanie." she said.

"Wow, I really like it." I said.

"Good. John and Christy will be here in a second." she said. I nodded.

"They are coming over?" I asked her. I didn't know that.

"Yeah, I asked Christy while you went back to get your sandals." she told me.

This ought to be interesting. I thought.

We were watching TV while waiting on them. They arrived a few minutes later and Iris let them in. Christy was bubbly and John look so happy.

Iris POV

I opened the door and let Christy and John in. He still looked so good.

"Ya'll want anything to drink?" I asked them as I headed to get a Smirnoff.

"A beer would be nice." John said.

I walked in the kitchen with Christy. We were grabbing things and walked outside where the guys had gotten in the pool.

"We have to tell you something!" Christy said. John shot her a look.

"Not now!" John said.

"Yes, they are our closet friends." Christy said. It was true while I was gone I had gotten closer to Christy as a friend. John just gave her a look.

"We are engaged!" she squealed.

I looked at John. He wouldn't look at me. I felt my heart break in half. I knew I had lost him, but any hope of getting back with him was gone. I had lost the man of my dreams. I was to late.
