Christmas Time
Hey guys! It's Cuterebel ^_^ here's my try at a Professor Layton story so don't hate please! Um, since It's Christmas, here's a very special Christmas Edition! :D Well, R&R and I'll give you a cake. :3 (Oh yeah! Read the summary, very important info, like Claire being alive, Luke staying, and spoilers!)
Disclaimer: I do not own Professor Layton or any of their Characters. If I did, then Claire would be alive, Clive would be with his family, Luke would still be with his family, and Bill Hawks would be dead. Sadly though, they belong to Level-5 T_T
(Professor Layton's POV)It was a chilly night, Luke, Flora and Claire were all asleep. I couldn't sleep, after the past events that happened these past few weeks still seem like a dream, and I don't want to wake up from it. I put my cup of tea down and glanced behind me to see the most beautiful women in my life. A small smile graced her beautiful face, while a blanket covered her slender body.
Claire, the love of my life. I almost lost her for the second time. During those few minutes in the alley, something incredible happened. Right before she was about to vanish before my eyes, I grabbed her wrist, and held her once more. Just hoping that she stays. To my surprise she stayed. Though, she aged by about ten years, she still looked beautiful to me.
I smiled and returned to my tea. Once Claire was mine again, my luck changed for the better. Just before Luke was about to leave to move with his family, his father also my close friend offered to let me watch over Luke. Luke's father, Clark Triton noticed how sad Luke has been. When Luke found out that he can stay, all the happiness returned to his face.
As I finished the last of my tea, I put the cup away in the sink, and returned to the room and laid down next to Claire. Placing my trademark top hat on the desk beside the bed, I turn the light off a fell asleep.
(Claire's POV) The sound of the birds right outside the window woke me with a start. Yawing, I looked at the clock and realized that Hershel only had forty minutes to get ready for work, have his morning cup of tea and break feast. Realizing the arms wrapped around me, I turned over to find my self face to face with pajamas.
I smiled to my self, oh how I loved it when he would hold me in his sleep. Looking up, I noticed he was still sleeping, even though I was moving around a lot. "Wake up, you have only forty minutes to get ready, have your morning cup of tea and break feast," It was only a silent whisper, but I knew it was good enough for him to wake up.
"Five more minutes my dear,"he grumbled and pulled me closer. I smiled, this was such a regular routine between us. Though, I didn't want my English gentlemen to be late for work, so I puled the one card that I know would wake him up. "If you don't wake up now and get dressed, I'll fall asleep, and Flora would have to make you break feast." His eyes snapped open and he got off the bed and rushed towards the closet. I grinned triumphantly as he rushed to get his clothes together.
I got out of bed and headed towards Luke and Flora's room. Heading into the blue themed room, a little gentlemen was still sound asleep in his bed. I knew Luke wasn't much of a heavy sleeper, all I had to do was softly shake his shoulder once or twice, and he'd be up. Groaning, he slowly opened his eyes and said softly,"Okay, as long as you make me break feast. Not Flora." I nodded in agreement and let him get ready for school.
Once inside the pink themed bedroom, a little girl slept in the pink bed. I smiled, waking her up was easy. All I had to say was that today was a school day and she'd be up in a matter of seconds to get ready to school. "Flora, wake up there's school today." She stirred a bit, then after a minute she got up and smiled at me. "Good morning Claire. I hope you had a good nights rest," she was always so happy.
Downstairs on my way to make Hershel, Luke, and Flora's tea, the date 25th was circled in big red in. My eyes widened in response as I noticed that Christmas was only in two weeks, and I still had to get presents for the kids, and the biggest puzzle of all, Hershel.
