Love Unspoken

Brandy held her juice and mumbled, "Happy birthday, Sprout." Sprout didn't get it and just kept munching on his baby food.

Quinn sighed, "Forget it, Sprout doesn't understand. Let's just enjoy the meal." She raised her glass and clinked it with Alexander's. "Happy birthday, Sprout." Alexander smiled. "Yeah, Sprout's pretty happy."

Quinn took a sip. She wasn't much of a drinker and didn't really like wine, but she took a small sip for the occasion.

Even though it was just the four of them, the birthday felt great, and Quinn was really happy.

It was Sprout's first birthday, and Alexander was there. She hoped they could celebrate every birthday together as a family in the future.

Since Sprout couldn't eat cake, Quinn helped him out and shared some with Brandy.

Alexander grabbed the camera and asked Brandy to take some pictures, calling it a birthday keepsake.

Quinn didn't mind. She hugged Brandy and Sprout and smiled at the camera.

After dinner, they moved to the sofa and took a few family photos.

Alexander put his arm around Quinn's shoulder. He used to hate taking photos, but now he loved it and always initiated it. He smiled at the camera. Brandy captured the family of four, freezing the moment in a photo.

Quinn turned to look at Alexander and smiled.

Alexander said, "Alright, today's birthday celebration is a wrap. Let's hit the sack."

Quinn nodded and took Sprout and Brandy upstairs.

Early the next morning, Quinn was jolted awake by a phone call. She groggily reached for the phone and answered it.

"Hello," she mumbled, still half-asleep.

"Quinn, it's me. Something's up at our house," Abigail's voice came through.
