Pierce Charles can't help but smile as he waits for Shea to walk into the kitchen.
It's Shea's 23rd birthday and he has a cake to surprise him, something he knows will embarrass his older brother.
Right on cue, he gets the response that he was looking for as Shea has a sheepish smile, and Pierce launches into a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' for the cameras.
