Blue Christmas

Roxanne woke up to two hands shaking her solders.
"Roxie...Roxie! Wake up! It's Christmas!"
The young women groaned and rolled over on her stomach, pulling the covers over her head. "Five more minutes.." she replied groggily.
"Come on Roxanne. You said that an hour ago," replied her blue boyfriend.
Scratch that. Her blue fiancée.
Megamind had proposed to her only a few days before whilst the couple was taking a stroll through the park. It had been the first snow of the season, and Megamind had suggested that they take a walk and enjoy freshly fallen snow. He popped the question near the spot where she and him had had their first real date, back when he was still pretending to be Bernard. Of coarse, she said yes. She had known since they had started dating that there was a good chance that he could be the one.
"Well excuse me for not wanting to get up at five in the morning," she retorted, still under the safety of the covers.
A look of concern swept over Megamind's face. Roxanne was generally a morning person. She never asked for more time to sleep. Generally, she would be the first one up and have to drag the blue alien out of bed. Literally.
"Whats wrong, love?" he asked, rubbing her back through the covers.
Roxanne sighed, and rolled back over and sat up, removing the covers from her upper body.
"Nothing, dear. I'm just really tired this morning. C'mon. Let's go and open presents," she replied.
Megamind's excitement returned, and his big green eyes lit up like lights on a Christmas tree. He said that he was going to go get Minion and help him with his suit, and would be by the tree in less than five minutes. He ran out of their bedroom, still clad in his bio-hazard pajamas.
The young reporter smiled at his childish behavior. It was one of the things she found most adorable about him. Somehow, the villain-turned-hero managed to find something exciting in everything. While talking to Minion the other day, she found out that this has been the happiest he has ever seen his master. The year and a half that they had been dating had definitely been the happiest time in her life for her as well.
She got out of bed, and padded across the cold lair's floor to the bathroom. She had just started her morning routine, when a wave of sickness came over her. She rushed to the toilet, and emptied the contents of her stomach into it.
She heard Megamind calling her name, and quickly flushed the toilet. She brushed it off as bad food from the night before, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and grabbed her robe.
The brunette quickly put it on over her short, red nightgown as she walked out to where they had set up the Christmas tree in the main part of the lair. Since the ceilings were so tall, they had gotten an extra large tree. It looked very nice and festive in the otherwise plain lair, but boy had it been a pain to decorate.
Underneath said tree was a big pile of presents. She quickly noted that many of them were wrapped in a random, non-specific, primary color. A smile spread across her lips as she saw that both Megamind and Minion were shaking one of the gifts she had gotten them, trying to figure out what it was. "Thanks for waiting for me," she said, putting her hands on her hips and pretending to be angry.
Both dropped the present, a look of guilt on their face. She laughed and practically skipped over and took a seat next to her fiancée, her recent sickness forgotten. "Just kidding," she said, kissing Megamind on his cheek. His face turned a light shade of purple, making her smile even more.
The three began to open presents, and the pile grew smaller and smaller. Finally after about an hour, all were unwrapped and there was a pile of discarded wrapping paper that was almost as big as the present pile was.
Minion had gotten Roxanne a few CD's she had wanted, a new blouse, and a gift card to her favorite restaurant. From Megamind she had received a few DVD's, another new blouse (also in a random, non-specific primary color), a teddy bear wearing a miniature costume that was nearly identical to his, and a beautiful sapphire necklace.
Minion had gotten a few cook books, a new apron (his pink, "kiss the cook" one was starting to wear out), and some pots and pans from Roxanne. She hadn't know what to get him (really, what could you get an alien fish in a robot-gorilla suit?), but she knew he loved to cook. Megamind had made him a new, more normal sized suit for his present. Due their new-er reputation of being heroes, he felt that Minion shouldn't be as tall and intimidating as he was. The new suit was more human-like, and lacked fur.
Megamind had received some new gadgets from a company that he had recently discovered that sold more good looking, non-villain-ness buttons and what-not from Minion. Roxanne had gotten him a multitude of DVD's about aliens and space(everything from "War of the Worlds" to all six "Star Wars" movies), and a new, expensive looking watch.
Minion had made pancakes, cinnamon rolls, bacon and eggs for the three of them, and they all ate together after opening gifts. Megamind and Minion both dug in, eating as much of the delicious food as they could, while Roxanne barley picked at a cinnamon roll. Her fiancée sent her a questioning look, and she shrugged. "I'm not that hungry. It's very good though, Minion," she explained. The alien fish beamed and went back to eating. For a small fish, he really could put away the food.
Roxanne's strange behavior didn't go unnoticed by Megamind, however. He was starting to be worried about her. Is she having second thoughts? he wondered. The blue alien didn't eat much after that thought.
It was almost ten by the time everything was done for the morning. Then began the rush to get everything done before noon. MetroMan was coming over for dinner that day, and everything had to be cleaned and prepped before he arrived. Since everyone had though he was dead, he didn't really have anyone to spend Christmas with. Megamind and Roxanne had invited him over, saying that nobody should be alone on Christmas.
Minion and Roxanne rushed to get everything cleaned and get started on dinner. Lunch was just going to be a bunch of easily made finger foods laid out. Seeing as how Roxanne was the best cook, Minion assigned her to cutting the veggies and preparing the mini-hot dogs. Dinner was going to be a grand feast of ham, turkey, mashed-potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls, gravy, and apple and blue berry pie for desert. Minion was rushing around the kitchen in his new apron stirring, cutting, mashing, and checking everything that was cooking. Just watching him was making Roxanne feel dizzy. Very dizzy. On wobbly legs she made her way over to a stool and sat down, resting her head on her hands.
Megamind chose this moment to enter the kitchen, and noticed his soon-to-be-wife in her current state. He quickly walked over to her, worry gnawing away at the pit of his stomach. "You okay?" he asked, once again rubbing her back.
She nodded. "I'm just a little dizzy."
Megamind's fingers continued to rub circles on her lower back. "Do you want to go lay down for a while? You do look a little pale.."
Roxanne reluctantly agreed, but only after Megamind agreed to help Minion in the kitchen. She felt guilty about leaving him all alone with all the work that needed to be done. Megamind walked her to their bedroom, and made sure she laid down safely on the bed. She leaned up and captured his lips in a kiss before he exited the room.
He shut the door on the way out. As soon as Roxanne was sure he was far enough away, she rushed into the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet, searching for something franticly. There was something she needed to know, and needed to know as soon as possible.
Five minutes later, she had an answer, and it wasn't one that she necessarily liked.
