The Story of Us

Chapter 8: A Small Box Under the Tree

Hey guys! Okay, so I caved. I don't have anything else to do anyway so I might as well publish this. Alright, I'm making a deal with you. I'll only publish the next chapter IF I get at least one review! So start reviewing! Alright, here's chapter 8 of The Story of Us. And oh yeah, this is the Christmas 'episode'.

Nate's POV December 2010

This wasn't just the boys' first Christmas. We were celebrating it for another reason. The boys turn 5 months! So we were excited. It was Christmas morning and the whole gang decided to sleep over at our house. Our families, however, couldn't make it. We opened up our presents piling up the tree; most of them for the twins. Shane had gotten Mitchie a teddy bear from build a bear workshop which had a recorded voice of Shane saying 'I love you'. It was cute at first then it started getting annoying when Shane kept playing it again and again. Mitchie got Shane a brand new pair of dark red converses with the writing 'Mitchie 3's Shane' across the pair. It seemed like we all gave personalised gifts this year. Jason received the new iPhone from Ella that was engraved 'I'm the only one who can touch YOU and this iPhone. Lovey dovey, Ella.' and Ella was given an autographed sewing machine of Vera Wang and Justin Bieber. "Take a look at the back," Jason said. Ella spun the machine around and there was a signature. It was Jason's. It wrote, 'You were the one who sewed my heart back together. I love you. Jase.'
Now it was time for Caitlyn's gift to me. She walked out of the room to get it. It must've been big. When she came back, I saw this beautiful red and blacklist acoustic guitar in front of me. On the fretboard, it wrote, 'Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace.' I smiled at the thought of what happened over a year ago. And then at the corner of the tuning head it said, 'I object. -Caitlyn Gellar-Gray.' I kissed her gently. It was another way of saying 'thank you'. "Okay, what did you get me?" Caitlyn said with a pleased look on her face. I crawled to the tree and grabbed the smallest box under there. I gazed at her face and she looked a bit disappointed. I just grinned, she didn't know what was coming her way. She ripped it open finding a box to take its place.

Caitlyn's POV

What was this? Pass the parcel? The kids are way too young for this. I opened the box and found a pair of keys. "Keys? What are these for?" I asked. It seemed like a perfect question. Without saying a word, he grabbed my hand and led me to the driveway with his other hand covering my eyes. Are they trying to kidnap me again? I grabbed the baby monitor when remembered that the boys were sleeping and walked out of the door. "Ready?" they all asked me. "Yeah, whatever." this was getting old. He took his hand off my eyes and I saw a car that wasn't familiar to me.

"Merry Christmas, honey." he kissed me on the cheek. I was still holding the keys that was once inside a very small box. It took me about 3 minutes to realise what those keys were for. He got me a car! And not just a car, it was a Porsche Cayenne! I guess you could say that it was a family car... I squealed, jumped and hugged Nate so tightly. When I finally calmed down, he and I shared a moment just looking into each other's eyes. "Merry Christmas to you too." I kissed him gently just in time for the driveway lights to flash on. Then we were interrupted by the baby monitor wailing so loudly which caused me to run back to the house.

Thanks! And remember, we have a deal! ;)
