Written for dottyfan, I know you asked for a piece on their usual Christmas but I found it really hard so I had to improvise a bit I hope it doesn't disappoint. May turn into a small collection of one shots probably only 3-4 chapters long I haven't decided yet. Hope you enjoy though.
Christmas surprise
Letty's POV
It was early morning, half past five according to the red numbers on the clock beside the bed. I had gone to bed only a couple of hours ago but I had yet to fall asleep. I was too excited. Didn't matter how early it was it was still Christmas morning, the one day every year I actually looked forward to. Maybe it was just the inner child in me still excited after all these years but it was by far my favourite holiday. It was also the one of the only days we forgot about everything going on around us and just spent time as a family with the traditions of course.
I had spent the last two weeks with Mia decorating the house while the boys put up the lights outside. They whined like usual but at the same time you could see they honestly didn't care secretly they enjoyed it too. We usually opened presents first then breakfast a bit out of order but the boys got impatient. We spent the day just being with one another drinking and for dinner Mia usually went all out. Turkey, ham everything, Christmas was good.
I looked down at Dom and grinned moving out of his arms carefully before I straddled him. Bending down carefully I grinned and started bouncing the bed.
"Get up, get up, get up." I said laughing as he woke with a start looking confused between me and the clock before realization dawned on him. He groaned wrapping his arms around me and pulling me down to his chest before he rolled us both over burying his head in my neck.
"Too early, go to sleep." His voice was husky due to sleep and I ran my hand over his head.
"I can't." I said grinning and I could feel his grin against my neck as he pressed a kiss there.
"I bet I could get you back to sleep." I grinned into the darkness.
"On a normal day I bet you could." I whispered back and he raised his head to look at me in the semi darkness.
"If I recall I managed to last year." He whispered and I scowled thinking of it.
"You cheated." I pouted and he laughed softly.
"Maybe but you enjoyed it. I might just have to cheat again." He said pecking my lips gently and I returned it.
"You could but it is nearly time to get up." I said happily.
"Says you, now that you've woken me I have other ideas for you and it doesn't include leaving this bed just yet." He growled as he rolled his hips into mine and I gasped.
"Dom its Christmas, it's our family time." I said trying to distract him.
"Family time starts when everyone's awake. Right now it's Dom and Letty time. Think of this as part of your Christmas present." He said before swooping down to kiss me again.
"What's my other half?" I mumbled against his lips feeling him tense but when I looked up at him he was grinning secretively.
"You'll find out soon enough."
It was seven by the time I managed to convince Dom we had to get up. Mia was already in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Merry Christmas Let."
"Merry Christmas Mia, where is everyone?" I asked.
"Where do you think?" She said knowingly.
"Tree." I guess laughing and she nodded.
"We should probably do presents first you know how impatient they get."
"They're like little kids." I said smiling.
"Did you expect it to change from previous years?" I shook my head.
"No it wouldn't be the same otherwise would it?" I asked and she smiled.
"No however this Christmas is a little more special than previous ones…" She hinted and I frowned.
"What do you mean?" I asked but she shook her head.
"You'll find out."
"That's what Dom said. What are you two planning?" I asked suspicious but she just smiled and pulled me into the lounge room where everyone was waiting.
"Finally took you long enough." Vince said happily as he reached for the presents handing them out to the owners. I joined Dom on the ground sitting between his legs sighing happily as he wrapped one of his arms around me kissing my head. When everyone had their little piles we started unwrapping them. I picked up the one and I smiled at Jesse as I saw the CD I had had my eyes on a week ago.
"Thanks Jess." I said and he smiled happily. One by one we went through the presents until I was down to the last one. It was large box and rather light. I noticed everyone had suddenly stopped and was watching me open my last one and Dom felt tense behind me.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Nothing just open it." Mia said excitedly and I frowned but did as she asked and was faced with another slightly smaller box. Rolling my eyes I turned to Dom.
"You did it again didn't you?" He just grinned but I noticed the small look of fear.
"You do this every year." I said shaking my head and he shrugged guiltily.
"I have to keep you guessing and it's become part of a tradition." Rolling my eyes I turned back to the box opening it again and sighed seeing another small parcel this time wrapped. After tearing off three layers I growled seeing another and he chuckled behind me.
"Dom." Mia scolded.
"Last one I promise."
"It better be." I warned as I held the small box shaped present in my hand. Tearing off this layer i smiled triumphantly when it was indeed the last layer. I frowned confused as I held a small jewellery box in my hand.
"Are you going to open it?" he asked softly in my ear.
"What is it?" I asked suddenly feeling nervous and a little apprehensive.
"You have to open it to find out." He whispered and I flipped open the box my breath caught in my throat as I stare at the white gold engagement ring in the box.
"Dom…" I asked questioningly as he removed the ring from the box and held it in front of me.
"I've been thinking about it for a while, I've had the ring even longer but I couldn't find the right time. Mia suggested today being your favourite day and all. You're all I'm ever going to need Let, marry me?" He whispered quietly. Not caring that everyone was watching I turned in his lap and kissed him hard knocking us both backwards. His arms wrapped around me tightly and he kissed me back all the tension I had felt in his body earlier leave. We ignored the cat calls and Mia's squealing all I could focus on was Dom.
"Is that a yes?" He asked hopefully when I broke away from him and I nodded letting him slip the ring on my finger as he sat us back up. I looked at it properly and smiled giddy with happiness. It was such a simple ring but I loved it.
"Finally." Mia squealed and Dom laughed.
"Congrats guys." We smiled and thanked everyone.
"Come one breakfast." Vince said as everyone trailed out of the room leaving Dom and I alone together.
"Do you like it?" He asked as he fingered the ring and I kissed him softly this time.
"I love it, thank you."
"Thank you for saying yes, I was so worried."
"Dom I'd never say no."
"I know but the fear was still there. I'm glad you like it." He said as we kissed again.
"OI love birds, we have Christmas things to do." We broke away smiling as we heard Vince yell for us.
"Coming." Dom yelled back.
"I love you Dom, I know we don't say it often but I do." I said quietly and he smiled.
"I love you too baby. Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas."
