This chapter will switch POV's every now and again! First off is Natalie's POV.

My eyes opened to see it was snowing outside. I rubbed my eyes as I sat up in my warm bed before glancing over at my sleeping twin.

"Nate, are you awake?" I asked as he tossed in his bed.

"Go back to sleep, Natty." he said as I sighed.

"Nate, it's snowing." I said as he shot straight up.

"Huh?!" he asked as I pointed.

"That it is." he said as he looked back at me.

"Night." he said before lying back down in his bed.

"Nate!" I called out as he chuckled before sitting back up.

"I was just kidding." he said when there was a knock at our bedroom door.

"You open it. It's warm under here." Nate said as I scoffed lightly.

"I don't want to open it! You open it!" I argued.

"Would one of you just open the goddamn door?" Sully's voice called out, sounding slightly annoyed.

*Sully's POV*

I heard some movement from the other side of the door as it swung open, revealing Nathan.

"Whatcha need, Sully?" he asked, looking up at me.

The twins have been with me almost a year now. The protectiveness over each other is still as strong, but they've seemed to trust me a lot more than they did when we first met. I looked at him, puzzled.

"It's Christmas, kid." I told him as he turned to look at Natalie.

"It is?" he asked her as she looked at the calender on their wall.

"Huh, guess it is." she called out.

They're fifteen years old. Shouldn't they be asking where the presents were?

"Well, whenever you want to, come on out into the living room." I told them as Nat walked up beside her brother.

"Why?" they questioned in unison.

I chuckled slightly as the duo as they raised an eyebrow.

"It's a surprise, kids." I told them before walking into the small hotel kitchen.

I poured a cup of coffee before sitting down on the couch, seeing the presents under the crooked little tree.

I looked at my watch and smirked.

"Three..two..one." I said as I heard the twins bedroom door being opened.

The two are very curious individuals. It doesn't take long for them to investigate something that peaks their interest.

Nate was the first one to appear in the hall and Nat came out right after he did. They walked into the kitchen, wiping sleep out of their eyes.

"What's that?" Nat asked, pointing to the tree and presents underneath.

"It's Christmas, Nat." I said as they looked at the presents then to me.

"All of those are for us?" they asked as I chuckled.

"Who else, kids?" he asked as they looked down, slightly embarrassed.

"Yeah, well." Nate said as I heard one of the kitchen cabinets being opened.

"Hey, uh, did they celebrate Christmas at that 'boarding school' you two went to?" I asked carefully.

They had said that a boarding school had been a nice word for where they had been.

"We don't wanna talk about it." they said as I nodded.

"Alright, kids." I said softly.

Still a sore subject.

"So, what are you making?" I asked, changing the topic.

"Cereal. Do you want another kitchen incident?" Nate asked me as I chuckled.

"Still don't know how the hell you two managed to set that pancake batter on fire." I said as I heard them grumbling.

"Shut up." they mumbled as they walked over, bowls and spoons in hand.

They sat down in the floor and placed the dishware on the wooden table, staring at the tree.

I could see the wheels in their heads turning as they took a bite of the breakfast food.

They soon finished eating as they stood up, walking over to the sink and putting the dirty dishes in the sink.

"Alright, kids. Get on over here." I said as they looked at me with calculating eyes before doing as I said.

They plopped down on the couch as I stood before sitting on the chair across from the twins.

I picked up two presents, one wrapped in dark blue paper while the other was wrapped in light blue paper, before handing it to them and they carefully took it from me.

They stared at the gifts for a moment before glancing up at me. "What are you waiting for? Open them up!" I said as they looked at each other before carefully ripping the wrapping paper.

They opened the lid of the box as they held up the two shoulder gun holsters I had got them.

"You two have been improving on your shooting so I figured it's time for you to have ones of your own." I told them as they examined the brown holsters.

"Here, let's get them fitted, huh?" I asked as they stood and put the items over their shoulders.

"Mine's to loose." Nat said as Nate's face wrinkled in slight pain.

"Mine's to tight." he said as I chuckled.

"I got ya, kids." I told them as I walked over to them.

I walked over to Nat as Nate's eyes shot towards me and Nat tensed up slightly. At least they're not cursing at me or trying to hit me. I fiddled with it until Nat nodded.

"That's good." she told me as she smiled slightly.

I nodded before going over to Nate and loosening his new holster.

"That's a lot better!" Nate said as he sighed in relief.

They sat back down, the items still on them.

"Now, you might need these to go with that." I said as I handed them the next gift.

The wrapping was removed more quickly this time as I watched in amusement.

"Whoa!" they said as they held up the pistols.

"Kids-" I started to tell them as they nodded.

"We know, we know!" they said as they held up a hand.

"Don't point it at anything you don't mean to shoot." they said as I nodded.

"Atta kids." I told them as they looked at the guns.

"It's a good gun for beginners. Only use it if you have to, alright?" I asked as they nodded.

"Got it, Sully." Nat told me as they carefully put the guns in their holsters.

They continued to open the gifts as they got some pencils, some new journals for their sketches plus notes, and some new clothes.

They stood up and put the clothes over their arms as they looked down shyly.

"Thanks, Sully." they stuttered out as I chuckled slightly.

"No problem, kids. Merry Christmas." I said as they looked at me, smiling lightly.

"Merry Christmas, old man." they said as they grinned.
