Hey everyone! Holiday Special is here!:) I am Wallflower95 and you all probably know me from my Fault in Our Stars fanfics (Their Little Infinity, The Fault in His Stars and Anna's Infinity) and of course my other fanfics such as Convergent and Here I Lie. This Holiday Special is set during Anna's Infinity. In Anna's Infinity we never saw how Liam proposed to Anna... now we will! This story is being told from the POVs of Anna and Liam. I was considering adding Kaitlyn and Isaac's POVs... would you guys be open to that or should I just leave it at Anna and Liam? let me know!:)
I hope you all enjoy the first chapter! Please comment and review.
Okay?

Anna
Operation Super Awesome Gift
I groaned out loud in exasperation.
"Why is this so hard?" I said out loud to my friend. Kylie smiled and lifted up another shirt for me to see. It's nearly Christmas and I still didn't have the perfect gift for my boyfriend. Kylie laughed.
"I thought you knew Liam really well?" I laughed.
"That's funny. You know what I got him last year? A coffee maker. He doesn't even drink coffee!" Kylie chuckled. I sighed. It's been five years, five months and twenty-two days since I first gave in to Liam's charm and I haven't had any regrets. Liam is the world's best boyfriend. He's supported my University education. I've been studying to get my degree in Literature so I can be a book editor. I'm graduating in a few months. This year I want to make Christmas perfect. The problem with that? I can't find a decent present for Liam. I have gotten everyone else on my list except Liam.
The thing is... Liam is extremely hard to shop for. He NEVER asks for anything. And over the years I've gotten him some pretty awful gifts. A coffee maker. A hockey jersey. Gift cards and coupons. You name it. This year I am determined to find him the perfect gift. Kylie called its Operation Super Awesome Gift. Kylie threw down the shirt and put her hands on her hips and looked at me.
"What?"
"I mean seriously," Kylie said. "You've been dating for almost six years. You should know absolutely everything about each other." Kylie said.
"And you know everything about Danny?" I asked, referring to her boyfriend she met in school.
"Of course... not." She finished with a frown on her face. I smiled.
"See? I'm not the only one." Kylie rolled her eyes.
I decide to drop by Kaitlyn's to see if she has any advice on a gift for Liam.
"And what? My advice doesn't matter?" Kylie said in the passenger seat. I pulled into Kaitlyn and Isaac's driveway.
"No you were very helpful Ky." I said.
"But you're desperate. I get it." We went up to the doorstep and knocked on the door. It was answered by a small little boy with blonde hair and brown eyes. He smiled up at us with a toothy grin.
"Hi Anna!" The boy said. He wrapped his arms around my legs.
"Hey Brady." I said. Brady took my hand and lead me inside where I found the fourteen year old twins, Amelia and Max, playing the newest Max Mayhem video game: The Revenge for Blood.
"Hi Anna!" The twins called. I smiled and waved. I'm glad things haven't changed much over the years.
"Mom's in the kitchen!" Amelia called.
"Thanks." I headed towards the kitchen with a laughing four year old attached to my leg. Kaitlyn smiled when I entered the room. Kaitlyn was in her early forties now. She didn't look a day over twenty-nine. She had laugh lines at the corner of her mouth. Her hair tied back in a braid.
"Hey Anna." She said. She reached down and picked up a giggling Brady.
"What are you up to monkey?" The boy laughed. Kaitlyn put him down and he ran off in search for trouble. Kylie made herself comfortable and took a cookie from the plate on the counter.
"I need some help." I said.
"Gift ideas for Liam." I groaned.
"How'd you know?"
"Because you get him the worst gifts every year and it's about time you get him a good one." Kaitlyn said.
"That sounds about right." I said, I sat down across from her.
"Can you help me?" Kaitlyn shrugged her shoulders.
"To be honest I am not dating the guy. You should really know what to get him." I groaned.
"Just ideas then. Anything would help." I said.
"What about a new girlfriend?" Kylie teased.
"Yeah, no." Kylie laughed.
"I just want to make this Christmas perfect for him. It's almost been six years now. He's completely changed my life and I just want him to know that I'm grateful." I said.
"Awww..." Kylie said.
"Well you know buying gifts doesn't mean you love him. You need to really think about it." Kaitlyn said. I sighed.
"Yeah."
I opened the door to our apartment and put the car keys in the dish. I moved out of the house only three months after my 22nd birthday this year. It had been weird at first. Being away from Grandma and Grandpa but I enjoyed living with Liam. He wasn't a slob or anything so that's a plus.
"Hey you." He came to the door and lifted me up. I laughed and kicked off my shoes.
"How is Kylie doing?" He asked.
"Kylie is Kylie." I said with a smile.
"How was work?" I asked. Liam works in a book publishing company in the city.
"Good. I missed you though." He carried me to the living room and we sat down on the couch. I laid my legs across his lap and set my purse down on the ground. He took my hand and kissed it.
"Can't believe Christmas is in two weeks." He said. I swallowed nervously and laughed.
"Yep."
"Finished all your shopping?"
"Just about." I said. He smiled.
"How bout you?" I asked.
"Finished last week." Dammit.
"That's good." He reached for the tv remote and clicked it on.
"I'm feeling 'It's A Wonderful Life', sound good?" I smiled.
"Sure." Liam got up and put in the movie. I need to get a present for Liam and fast.
Hope you all liked it! I'm hoping to make this story last maybe 5-10 chapters. Again that's just me guessing. Stay tuned for next chapter:)
