Hey guys and welcome to my one-shot series, all of the fics will revolve around Kyle because he's my favourite character and I love him. So I hope you enjoy, leave One-shot suggestions in a review or feel free to PM me.

This first one is Christmas based; but there will be other fics based on past epsiodes, future episodes, Kyle's life before the bay. The whole lot. Again, feel free to leave ideas and I'll see what I can do J

Most of the fics will be one shots but some may be spilt into parts (up to four if the story is particularly long!) So make sure to check the chapter title to see what fic you're reading!

That's all from me, hope you enjoy and if you celebrate: HAVE A WONDERFULLY BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A WONDERFUL NEW YEAR!

It was nearing seven in the morning when Kyle woke from his slumber. Phoebe was tucked under his arm, fast asleep.

He could hear a feint voice on the other side of the door. "When are they going to wake-up?"

"Darce. We had a late night, and it's not even seven." He heard Bianca speak.

"But I want to open my presents!"

"Just go and wake them up Darce." Heath spoke.

"Heath! It's early, leave them alone." Bianca protested.

"We have to be up. They should be to. Go on Darce."

Shifting his arm slightly, he whispered, "Phoebs."

Mumbling quietly Phoebe's eyes flickered open.

"Uncle Kyle!" Darcy's voice yelled from the other side of the door as she knocked loudly. "Phoebe!"

Kyle groaned quietly. "We're awake."

The door swung open to reveal a Christmas-pyjama-clad Darcy. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Kyle smiled at her, still tired. "Merry Christmas Darce."

"You guys have to get up because we have to open our presents. I've been waiting for ages!" Darcy began to bounce on the balls of her feet.

Phoebe used to her arms to push herself up, clearly still waking up properly.

"We'll be out in a sec." Kyle told her, sitting up.

"Finally!" Darcy grinned and darted out of the room, excited to open her presents.

As soon as she was out of the room Phoebe flopped back down onto the bed with a sigh.

Kyle chuckled lightly as she shut her eyes again. "Phoebs."

Springing her eyes open slightly she smiled at him. "Merry Christmas." Leaning down to press a kiss to her lips. "Merry Christmas Phoebs."

Phoebe smiled into the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down on top of her.

"Get a room!" Kyle pulled away from the kiss to see Andy standing in their doorway.

"We have one, you're standing in it." Kyle sat up.

Andy chuckled to himself. "Right. Well Darcy's about to have a fit if you guys don't get out there soon."

"Yep. We're going." Kyle nodded. Throwing the duvet back he climbed out of the bed, Phoebe reluctantly following after him.

"You've decided to join us." Ricky grinned when they finally arrived out in the living room.

"Merry Christmas Rick." Kyle let go of Phoebe to give Ricky a hug.

"Where's Andy gone?" Darcy's voice was loud and frustrated.

Bianca ran her hand through the girls hair. "Darce. There's no need to yell. It's Christmas, we've got all day. Let's enjoy it and not rush." Darcy sighed and nodded reluctantly.

When Andy finally came back into the living room, the family huddled around the living room. Darcy taking it upon herself to hand out the first few presents.

"This one's from us Phoebe and Kyle, here is yours. Ricky here's one for Casey." Darcy handed them each a neatly wrapped present.

Darcy grabbed a few more from under the tree before distributing them out to Andy and Josh. "Can I open mine now, please?"

Heath pulled a face, "Wait. Were we supposed to get you presents?"

Darcy looked at her dad, unimpressed. "Not funny dad."

The family laughed as the father and daughter poked there tongues out at each other. "Kyle?" Ricky spoke quietly. "Can you take him for a moment?"

Kyle nodded and accept his nephew, watching as Ricky stood up. "I'll be back in a second."

"Are you okay Rick?" She nodded but it was obvious she wasn't.

Phoebe looked at Kyle concerned, "Is she okay?"

"No." Kyle told her. "Can you?" He motioned to the child in his arms. Understanding what he meant she took Casey from him, allowing Kyle to stand and follow after the blonde.

"Rick?" Kyle knocked on the flat door. She Ricky was facing away from him, her gaze focused on the bookcase.

"Mmm. I'll just be a sec." She couldn't hide the slight waver in her voice.

Kyle stepped into the flat. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

Ricky didn't respond. "Rick?"

"It's not fair." She whispered.

"I know." Kyle made his way over to her. "I know it's not."

Ricky turned around just in time for him to pull her into a hug. "Casey will never get what Darcy and Harley have with Heath. It's not fair Kyle, Casey didn't deserve this."

Kyle's heart broke as she burst into tears. "You didn't deserve it either Rick."

Ricky shook her head. She was all alone. Casey was all alone. "Why did he do it? Why would he go to jail and leave us all alone? If he didn't go. He'd still be here. With us."

He wanted to tell her that she wasn't alone. That she had him, and the rest of their family. But he couldn't, because it wouldn't take away her pain and it wouldn't make her feel any better. Not right now.

Hugging her close to him, he moved to sit on the sofa. Allowing her to sob into his shirt for a few minutes. Ricky let a small, sad laugh after a moment. It was Christmas day and she was crying. How pathetic.

"Rick. You are not alone. I need you to know that you and Case, you are not alone. You have us. Heath, Bianca, Andy, Josh. Everyone in Summer Bay. You are not alone." Kyle told her firmly.

"I know." Ricky nodded. "It's just hard."

Kyle squeezed her hand. "I know."

"Darcy will have a fit if we don't get back in there." Ricky dabbed at the corners of her eyes. Kyle smiled and nodded. "Alright. Let's do it." Ricky spoke as she stood up.

Stopping in her tracks Ricky turned around. "Thankyou Kyle." He'd been her rock through everything. She wouldn't have made it through the year if hadn't of been for him.

The living room was already covered in wrapping paper when the two returned to the house. Bianca and Ricky stood next to each smiling as they watched Darcy continue to gasp in awe as she unwrapped each present.

"Phoebe. Kyle, you haven't given each other your presents yet." Darcy suddenly announced. They'd moved out to the backyard to have a breakfast.

Andy smirked. "You don't know that Darce. They could've exchanged their gifts in private."

Darcy scrunched her face up. "Why would you guys do that? We're supposed to open our presents together."

"The only thing being unwrapped was-" Bianca swung her hand out, hitting Andy in the chest. "Don't finish that sentence."

Phoebe bit her lip, trying to hide her smile. Darcy looked at her dad confused. Heath shook his head, hoping his daughter didn't continue to question Andy's comment.

Kyle rolled his eyes. "I've got to take Phoebe somewhere to give her present."

Phoebe's ears perked up at his comment. "What? Where?"

Kyle grinned. "You'll have to wait and see."

Phoebe glared at her boyfriend. "Fine. I'm not giving you your present yet either." Smiling smugly, Phoebe seemed sure he would give in.

Kyle grinned at her and shrugged. "I'm sure I'll live."

"Um. Pretty sure, you won't. My gift is awesome."

"Not compared to mine." Kyle grinned.

Ricky placed a jug of juice on the table. "It is pretty great, Phoebs."

Phoebe's eyes widened. "Ricky knows? What, Kyle please just tell me?

"Three o'clock. You've lasted this long, a couple hours won't kill you." Kyle stood up, and headed over to the barbecue.

"Kyle, this isn't funny." Phoebe muttered, they'd left his family down at the beach just before three. Kyle had insisted she wear a blindfold while he took to her present, something Phoebe was not impressed with.

"Okay, okay. Just step up, here. And there's another step." Kyle guided her carefully, an arm around her waist and the other holding onto her hand.

Phoebe felt Kyle let go of her and begin to untie to the blindfold. When the black fabric fell away from her eyes Phoebe glanced around. Alf's bait shop? "Uh…"

Kyle grinned and pull out a small wrapped gift. Phoebe's eyes widened. It was clearly a small box. "Kyle."

Kyle frowned and held out the present to her. "Are you going to- oh. No. It's not a ring."

Phoebe swallowed and nodded. "You're sure?"

Kyle shook his head. "It's not. I promise. Just open it."

Phoebe took the present cautiously, removing the tape to reveal a black cardboard box

"Open it." Kyle's eyes were wide with excitement; he couldn't wait until she knew what he'd done.

Phoebe bit her lip and slid the lid off the box. A plain silver key.

"A key? Thankyou?"

Kyle grinned again. "You know what's for?"

Kyle was clearly very excited but Phoebe was just confused. "No?"

Kyle chuckled, "Come on." He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the stairs.

"Merry Christmas." Kyle announced as soon as they got the top of the stairs.

Phoebe didn't think she'd ever been so confused. Why were they standing in front of the apartment above the diner? "What?"

Kyle leant forward to whisper in her ear. "It's ours."

Phoebe's jaw dropped. "Ours?"

Kyle nodded and moved to step beside her. "All ours."

"Come on," Kyle grabbed her hand, "Let's go in."

Phoebe couldn't hide her shock as Kyle pulled her towards the door, encouraging her to use the key.

Her eyes were still wide as she picked up the key. Stepping into the apartment Kyle turned to his girlfriend, "Do you like it?"

Phoebe shook her head still unable to comprehend. "Oh my god. Are you kidding?"

"You're not mad, are you? I wanted it to be a surprise. And I thought-" Phoebe cut him off with a passionate kiss.

"I love you. So much." Phoebe pulled away to catch her breath. "Oh my gosh."

Kyle grinned and kissed her again. "We can move in after the first week of January. The bank just has to finalise a few things."

Phoebe shook her head again. "You're amazing, you know that?"

Kyle grinned. "You like it? I'm sorry I didn't talk to you about it, but it was listed a few weeks ago and I wanted to surprise you."

"You surprised me alright." Phoebe stepped further around the apartment.

Pleased that Phoebe liked the place already Kyle grabbed her hand. "It's nothing big, but there's two bedrooms."

Phoebe shook her head. "It's perfect. Too perfect, Kyle. You idiot!" She swatted his chest.

Kyle's eyes widened unaware why she was suddenly upset.

"My present's nothing compared to this! Why would you do this?" Phoebe genuinely seemed angry.

"Phoebs. That doesn't matter," Kyle laughed. "I don't care. I'm just glad that you're happy." He grinned.

Phoebe wrapped her arms around his waist, resting his her head against his chest. "I really am. Thankyou so much, Kyle."

"Did you like it?" Ricky asked when Kyle and Phoebe walked in the door. It was just after four when they arrived back at the house.

Phoebe hadn't wiped her smile off her face all afternoon. "It was amazing Rick. So amazing."

Ricky held her hand out to high five Kyle. He'd told her all about his plan weeks ago and she'd known how excited Kyle had been to show Phoebe the place.

Kyle grinned and went to the fridge to grab himself a beer. "Where's Heath and Bianca and the kids?"

"They popped over to Connie's, they'll be back for dinner though. Cheryl'll be here soon."

"Joy." Phoebe rolled her eyes, while Kyle and his brother's mother had recently been getting on, she still didn't find the other woman pleasant.

Ricky chuckled heartedly. "Do you mind watching Case for a bit, while I put my head down? Darcy had the rest of us up at five, you guys got a sleep in."

Kyle nodded, "Sure." He watched as she smiled gratefully, he tried to gauge whether or not she was still feeling rather down but as far as he could tell she just needed a rest.

"Do you want to open your present now?" Phoebe asked once she was gone. Kyle nodded with a smile as Phoebe ran out of the living room, returning moments later with a thin present.

Phoebe perched herself on his lap as she passed her present to him. "Open it."

Unwrapping the present Kyle was slightly surprised when a pile of papers was revealed.

Phoebe rolled her eyes at his evident confusion. "Read it."

Kyle's eyes scanned the first page, seeing it was print out of two plane tickets to the Gold Coast. "The Gold Coast?"

Phoebe grinned. "Yep. For a whole week! Then look," She reached forward to shuffle through the papers to find another page. "Hamilton Island!"

Kyle wasn't sure what say as he read through the page Phoebe was holding up. "And I know it's a while away but I wanted you to have heaps of notice so you could take the time off work." She'd booked their trip from the first of February.

"Sounds amazing." Kyle kissed her lightly. "Thankyou Phoebs."

Phoebe grinned. "I'm so excited. The gold coast has all of these theme parks and roller coasters and we're gonna be such tourists, it'll be so great!"

Kyle grinned at her excitement. Bringing her in for a kiss as he placed the papers down. Aware that they had the house to themselves, things got more heated between the two until a sudden cry from Casey interrupted.

Pulling away from Phoebe with a chuckle Kyle shifted from underneath his girlfriend so he could tend to his upset nephew.

Phoebe sighed dramatically, although knowing that soon they'd be in their own place and away from any interruptions meant that she wasn't actually annoyed by the small child's cries and was content to wait until the baby was back asleep.

"I wish Uncle Brax and Uncle Casey were here." Darcy told her dad quietly. The backyard was filled with people laughing and enjoying themselves, but Heath knew what his daughter was talking about. It wasn't quite the same without two of his brothers.

"I do too grommet. But hey, you've got Auntie Kylie over there." Heath pointed to where Kyle was talking to Andy. Darcy giggled at her father's comment. "Dad. That's not nice. He's not a girl."

Heath shrugged. "He surfs like one."

Darcy shook her head at her father, grinning none the less as she got up to get another ice block for herself. It was her first Christmas that she hadn't spent the entire day with her Grandmother, and while she wished her uncles were around to celebrate, she'd had a lovely day and got to open the most awesome presents!
