Walter was very nervous about Abby's birthday party. It would be the first one he would ever be part of and he wanted it to go well.

He and Kate had taken her out to get ice cream while the rest of the team set up the garage for her party.

Everyone had really gone all out for her gifts. Toby and Happy had made her a bike that was designed to be more aerodynamic and be more maneuverable. Sylvester had gotten her a telescope. Paige had bought her a new laptop. Cabe had gone the more old fashioned route and bought her a few book, A Wrinkle in Time and Tripods: The White Mountain. Kate was still saving up her money but had gotten her a nice model rocket.

While Walter was enthusiastic that the team had been willing to do all of it for Abby he was now afraid that his gift wasn't good enough. He had custom ordered a pendant for her and it had arrived yesterday. The pendant was a small golden circle that was circular in shape, the design of the pendant had a scorpion on it.

It had taken Walter almost 4 hours but he finally found a jewelry designer who was able to make the pendant before Abby's birthday.

Now Walter's brain was racked with self doubt. What if she hated the gift and never wanted to see him again? What if he couldn't find it or it got lost? He knew that this was all just irrational panic but it didn't stop him from worrying about it.

Finally, they arrived at the garage and it was time for the moment of truth.

When they entered the garage the whole team greeted Abby with a shout of, "Happy birthday!"

They then proceeded to sing her Happy Birthday, eat some cake and all around just have a good time. It was only the team, Ralph, and Abby's friend Carrie there so the party went fairly quickly. Throughout the whole party Abby had a massive smile on her face, this was the biggest birthday she'd had after all.

When it was finally time to open the presents everyone crowded around the main table to watch Abby open her gifts.

Abby's smile only grew bigger and bigger with every gift. She especially liked the bike because she had never owned one before, Cabe promised he would teach her how to ride it. When it was time for his gift he started to feel the nerves and self doubt start to rise again. He watched her face closely to see if there was any sign of disappointment, he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding when he saw none.

"Wow," Kate said as Abby pulled out the pendant, "This is really pretty Walter."

"I had it custom made," Walter said with pride in his voice. "I wanted to get you something so that even when you moved out of the garage you would know you're part of Scorpion and that you'll always be part of our family."

Abby looked up at him and said, "I love it!" She then hugged Walter.

"We're all one big happy Family." Sylvester said. "You know if your average family was made up of geniuses."

"Yeah we're great." Toby said, responding to Sly's comment.

Kate then asked everyone if they could move closer to the wall so she could get a picture. Abby quickly put on the pendant and everyone huddled near the wall. Kate quickly set the timer on the camera and joined the group.

The picture turned out great.

After the picture Paige pulled him aside and said, "That was a really thoughtful gift Walter. You're really stepping up as a dad." Her face was beaming with pride.

Walter smiled and looked over at Abby, she seemed so happy and it just melted his heart.

"Well I just took your advice. I got her a gift from the heart and something she truly deserved."

He was already thinking of what to get her next year.

Sorry for the long wait everyone.

Hope you enjoyed and please leave any thoughts or suggestions.
