Olivia woke up on Christmas morning to find Casey already dressed and sitting on the bed looking down at her. She had a slightly sad expression on her face, which quickly disappeared when she noticed Olivia was awake.
"Are you okay, Casey?" she asked.
"Yes, of course," Casey responded with a smile. "Merry Christmas, love," she said after a moment, leaning down to kiss Olivia gently on the forehead.
"Merry Christmas, Casey," Olivia said, giving her a hug.
"Come on," Casey said, taking Olivia by the hand and dragging her out of bed without giving her a chance to change out of her pajamas.
Olivia smiled slightly at Casey's excitement before following her into the living room. A large Christmas tree stood in one corner, with a few wrapped gifts under it. They sat down on the floor by the tree, and Olivia immediately handed Casey a gift.
"You first," she said, grinning.
Casey opened the gift, and Olivia quickly handed her another, and then another, until they had all been opened. Casey thanked her, then reached under the tree and handed Olivia single small box wrapped in silver paper. Olivia smiled shyly and took the box. Upon opening it, she found a gold bracelet with small red stones set in it.
"It's beautiful," she said, smiling at Casey.
"I thought you'd like it," Casey answered.
"Thank you," Olivia said, hugging Casey.
"You're welcome, Liv," Casey responded, hugging her back. She then looked over at the clock on the wall. "You're other gift should be arriving soon," she added.
Olivia gave her a confused look, but before she could say anything, Casey dragger her up off the ground and led her into the kitchen. "I made you breakfast," Casey said, earning a slight groan from Olivia.
"Don't worry, it's just some fruit," Casey continued. "I know you're not much of a breakfast person."
Olivia was halfway through a bowl of fruit when the doorbell rang. Casey quickly jumped out of her chair at the sound.
"Wait here," Casey said before leaving the kitchen.
Olivia heard the door open, and then heard it close a few seconds later. Casey then returned to the kitchen.
"Come with me," she said. She took Olivia by the hand and helped her up. Casey stood behind Olivia, putting her hands over Olivia's eyes and walking her out of the kitchen.
"Keep your eyes closed," Casey said as they walked toward the living room once again. When they reached the room, Casey turned Olivia around to face her.
"Open your eyes, but don't look around," Casey instructed.
Olivia opened her eyes and found Casey looking directly into them. She was concerned when she saw that Casey had tears in her eyes.
"Casey…?" she began, but was silenced by Casey's finger on her lips.
"Merry Christmas, Liv," she said, placing a gentle kiss on Olivia's lips. "I love you."
With that, Casey turned Olivia around, and Olivia's gaze was suddenly met my another pair of eyes. Olivia recognized them right away.
"Alex?" she said, shocked.
"Hi, Olivia," Alex said, smiling at her.
Olivia stood frozen for a moment longer before throwing her arms around Alex's neck and hugging her tightly. Alex laughed happily and hugged her back.
"I missed you," Olivia said, pulling back slightly.
"I missed you too," Alex said.
They looked at each other for a few moments, then Alex leaned in and kissed Olivia passionately on the lips. They both pulled back when they heard a sniff from Casey. Olivia walked back over to Casey and hugged her.
"Why, Casey?" Olivia asked. "Not that I'm not grateful," she hurriedly added, "but…why?"
"Because you love her," Casey said simply. "You missed her. I just want you to be happy."
Olivia smiled and wiped a tear from Casey's cheek with her thumb. "You're amazing, Casey, you know that?"
Casey smiled slightly. "If you say so," she said.
Olivia hugged her again. "Thank you," she said.
"You're welcome," Casey answered, pulling away and wiping the tears from her eyes. "Why don't we finish eating?" she said after a little while. "There's plenty of food for you too, Alex."
Olivia smiled happily and hugged Alex again. Alex smiled in amusement at the fact that the usually calm and composed brunette was practically bouncing around the room.
"What?" Olivia asked, noticing Alex grinning.
"Nothing," Alex said. "I'm just happy to see you again."
Olivia gave her a big smile. "I'm happy to see you too."
They exchanged another look, and as if they had read each other's minds, they both ran over to Casey and hugged her tightly. Casey laughed in surprise and hugged them back.
"Okay," Casey highly amused at Alex and Olivia's giddy happiness. "Food?"
"Okay," they both agreed, and the three of them walked toward the kitchen, Alex and Olivia still in each other's arms.
