(Hey guys! I am sorry that it has been forever since I have updated. I haven't been feeling very motivated. I already know what I am going to type, but it was just a matter of typing it. Sorry...I have been going through a depressive episode. Oh, by the way. This will be the last chapter, but do not fret. You will be able to see more of Marina in future stories.)

It was Christmas Eve, snow was softly falling across the city as the buildings dazzled with lights. Marina, Peabody, and Sherman were sitting in the living area. They were all clad in their PJ's and sat cuddled to together as they comfortably stared at the glittering Christmas tree as they listened to carols playing on Marina's phone.

Marina nestled her head into the crook of Peabody's neck and gave a soft sigh. She felt so content with Sherman snuggled up to her side and Peabody's arm wrapped around her and resting on her hip.

Sherman stirred and turned to look up at his father. "Mr. Peabody can we each open up one gift tonight? Pleeeeeease?~" He begged with a puppy dog face. Marina giggled at Sherman's begging and Peabody's unamused face, one eyebrow raised.

"I don't know, Sherman. I thi-" The genius was cut off by Marina lightly punching his arm.

"Oh c'mon Hector. Let the kid open up a gift. My brother and I used to open up a gift on Christmas eve! Think of it as a new tradition." She said with a small smirk.

"Yeah Mr. Peabody! Listen to your girlfriend." Sherman teased.

Peabody tensed up as a small blush sneaked up across his face. Yes, it was official, Marina and Peabody were a couple. However, it still did catch him off guard being called out on his relationship. Not that he was embarrassed of his significant other. It just gave him a rush of adrenaline knowing that such a beautiful woman was dating him.

"Well, alright. I supposed you may open one before you head to bed." Peabody agreed in defeat. He still smiled as Sherman's face lit up with excitement.

He immediately ran up to a very large, flat, rectangular shaped gift. It had blue wrapping paper with silver snowflakes and a big silver bow. The gift had a tag written in messy handwriting. "To: Sherman From: Marina"

"I have been wondering what this gift since it was put underneath the tree!" Sherman said as he bounced on his toes in excitement. "So can I open it?" He asked, his hands hovering above the wrapping.

Both Marina and Peabody chuckled. "Yes, Sherman, you can open it." Marina said with a smile.

Sherman didn't hesitate to rip into the present, revealing brilliant colors. Once the paper was completely removed, Sherman looked down at the gift in front of him in awe. "Wooah..." He breathed as he lightly ran his hand over the painting in awe. The painting was of many stars and constellations. The sky was made of deep blues,purples,and black,swirling together, similar to Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night. Many constellations were depicted as well as other various stars splashed across the sky. Some glitter was lightly placed on almost each and everyone of the stars, causing the stars to shine.

Marina giggled at Sherman's reaction. Sherman looked up at Marina in shock. "Did you make this?"

Marina nodded. "Uh huh! You told me that you really liked space and stars. I was feeling really inspired one night and I couldn't sleep. So I decided to paint something for you. I hope you like it, a pair of my jeans are covered in paint now."

Sherman ran and tackle hugged Marina. "I love it! Thank you mom!" Sherman's breath caught in his throat and he felt his heart speed up. He quickly let go of Marina. "I mean, I uh."

Marina was shocked and wide eyed but quickly busted out into a huge smile. She grabbed Sherman and gave him a tight hug. "I am glad you love it, sweetie."

Sherman nodded and yawned. Marina glanced over to Peabody. "Should we put him to bed?" She asked softly. Peabody glanced down at Sherman cuddled into Marina's chest and smiled warmly. He nodded and stood up off of the couch, followed by Marina. They both walked down to Sherman's room. Marina went in and walked to Sherman's bed. She gently placed him on his back and covered him in his covers and tucked him in snuggly. Sherman nuzzled into his pillow and sighed in contentment.

Peabody walked up behind Marina and wrapped his arms around her waist, and placed his chin on her shoulder. Sherman barely opened up his eyes to see Marina and Peabody looking down lovingly at him. He lightly smiled knowing his father was happy with someone and they both loved him.

Walking out of Sherman's room Peabody closed the door behind him. Marina rubbed her eyes and let out a small yawn. "Maybe we should head to bed too." She said in a small voice. Peabody nodded in agreement and ran his fingers through his hair. The couple made it to Peabody's bed room.

Hopping into bed Marina snuggled into the soft blankets and pillows on the large bed. Peabody took off his glasses and climbed into bed, lying closely next to Marina. They both faced each other and smiled.

"You know you have the most beautiful eyes?" Marina asked softly as she lightly caressed Peabody's face. A small smile graced his lips at her touch. He cupped her hand and leaned into her touch.

Marina snuggled into Peabody's chest and wrapped an arm around him, locking her hand with his. She placed a few kisses on his neck as she lightly rubbed the back of his hand with her thumb. Peabody shivered at the sensation but melted into her touch.

In a matter of no time they both fell into a peaceful sleep. They each had a light smile on their face, happy with their unexpected love.
