"So we have been going out for 2 weeks now and you still haven't told me what you wanted for Christmas. You do know that it's in 2 days right?" Dustin replied to Arieanna

"Yeah I know." She replied

"Do you not like Christmas or something?" Dustin asked

"Yeah I do. It use to be my favorite holiday, but everything is different now."

"Different, like 2 people from your family won't be there?"

"Yeah, it's really hard on me right now. Me and Jack would always wake up at 5 in the morning and go and make breakfast for everyone. The smell would wake everyone up, except Bobby. I think he always did it on purpose, but we would go wake up him by jumping on his bed. Screaming that Santa came and that if he didn't get up then we would open his presents. He would tackle us onto the bed and tickle us, before going downstairs. We would eat all the pancakes we could possibly take in, then open presents. Christmas eve, ma would always help me wrap presents because I was so horrible at it. One time she walked downstairs while I was trying to wrap Bobby's present, I had wrapping paper wrapped around my body and none on the present." Arieanna was smiling, while she watched Dustin laugh at her memories

"It's good that you have those memories of them." Dustin responded

"Yeah, I guess." Arieanna looked down at the ground. Dustin stopped her in the middle of the street. He turned her towards him and lifted her chin to look at him

"You have to stop beating yourself up for what happened to them both. There was nothing you could do about it. Just like there was nothing you could have done for my brother."

"It's not going to be the same without them here though." Arieanna replied. Dustin bent down and kissed her. He could feel a smile forming on her face as he kissed her "But I am glad that you are with me this time," she responded.

"Me too." He replied grabbing her hand. They started walking down the street. "So you going to tell me what you want or am I going to have to get it from you the hard way?" he finally replied as they walked into her house

"What's the hard way?" she asked curious

"You'll have to find out." He replied. She smiled at him.

"Then I guess I'll take the hard way." She replied.

"Fine, have it your way. But don't say I didn't warn you!" Before she could answer he grabbed her by the waist and just started kissing her. He slammed her up against the wall, deepening the kiss. He grabbed her hands and put them over her head against the wall. He intertwined his fingers with hers, making his body move closer to hers. "My brothers…." She tried to get out between kisses

"Shhh." Dustin replied, kissing her again. Dustin picked Arieanna up, letting her wraps her legs around his waist. He moved over to the couch and gently laid her down. "I like the hard way." She whispered. She went to lean up to kiss him but he moved out of the way.

"I'm thirsty." Dustin replied. He let her go, before walking into the kitchen

"Excuse me?" Arieanna asked confused "You're thirsty?"

"Yeah, all that walking made me thirsty."

"Can't that wait?"

"No, I am about to die of thirst." Arieanna waited a minute for him to get a drink. He walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch. She moved over to him and crawled in his lap. He grabbed the remote and turned on the TV. "Yes! I forgot this game was going to be on today." He replied, totally ignoring what Arieanna was doing

"What happened to making out with your girlfriend?"

"What?" he asked "Did you say something?"

"Yeah I did." Arieanna replied "You remember what we were just doing?"

"Rie, I'm trying to watch the game."

"Fine!" Arieanna yelled, as she stormed up to her room. Dustin started laughing, before turning off the TV. He slowly walked up to her room hearing her yell. He opened the door and saw her cleaning up her room. "Is this what you do when you're mad?" Dustin replied leaning against the door "Clean your room?"

"Go away!" she replied

"Nope, I'm not going any where."

"Do you find this funny?" she yelled glaring at him

"Yeah I do. I told you I was going to teach you the hard way. So I did."

"I don't like you." She responded turning around. He slowly walked over to her and places his hands on her shoulders.

"I'm sorry." He whispered in her ear. "Will you forgive me?" He slowly turned her around and smiled

"This isn't fair…" she replied, but his finger stopped at her mouth. He leaned in slowly and kissed her. She pulled away "This isn't going to work…"

"Shut up!" he told her kissing her again. He grabbed her lower back and pushed her up to deepen the kiss. She tried pulled away but he held onto her. She moved backwards hitting her desk, knocking over pictures and lamps. She just started laughing. He stopped kissing her and just stared into her eyes "You are so beautiful!" he told her pushing her hair out of her face. "I think I am in love with you and I have only known you for 3 weeks. You are the best thing that has happened to me."

"Dustin, I think I'm in love with you too. This is so weird for me. Don't get mad when I tell you this, but you remind me so much of Dylan and so much of Jack. It's like you are both of them. I guess that's why I feel so comfortable with you because it feels like I already know you. You make me feel like the hole that has been in my heart so complete."

Dustin smiled at her. "You look like you need a shower!" he replied with a huge smile on her face.

"Is this another trick?" Arieanna asked

"No, you seem like you need a shower. You want to go take one?" He pulled her into him and started rubbing her back. He winked at her before moving to the bathroom. Arieanna stood there for a moment before moving to the door. She heard the water running as she opened the door. She saw a pair of boxers flying at her face. She quickly walked in and shut the door. "You coming?" Dustin replied leaning his head out of the shower. Water dripped from his hair, as he smiled at her.

"You just love teasing me, don't you?" she asked

"No, but I would love someone to accompany me. It's kind of lonely in here."

"If you insist." Arieanna replied "But no peeking." She heard Dustin laughing as he closed the curtain. She took her shirt off making sure he wasn't looking. She heard the curtain go back and she quickly turned around. "I told you not to look." Arieanna replied covering her chest.

"Thought you might need some help." Dustin grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his waist. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into him. He kissed the tip of her nose before moving to her mouth. As he was kissing her, he started undoing her bra. Arieanna felt a shiver come over her. "You ok?"

"Yeah, can we just take it slow." She asked

"We can go as slow as you want." He whispered in her ear. She smiled before kissing him again. She rubbed her hands along his body. Dustin moved his hands to her back again, but waited for her approval. She looked into his eyes, and smiled. He undid her bra and threw it on the ground. He started kissing her neck, she felt the feeling of needing her with him. His hands found his way to her belt buckle. He slowly undid it making sure, she was ok. She just wrapped her arms around him. She felt her pants slowly slide down her legs revealing her pink thong. She took in a breath before removing them. She grabbed the towel wrapped around Dustin's waist and pulled him forward. She started kissing his neck and made her way to his chest. He ran his fingers in her hair, before pulling her up to him. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She leaned down and grabbed the towel and threw it on the floor. He climbed into the shower, and watched as the hot water went over Arieannas body. She giggled before leaning up. She wrapped her arms around him and just started kissing him. He moved over to the wall to hold her up.

Bobby walked up the stairs when he heard the showering running. He walked over to the door and knocked "Arieanna is that you?" he yelled

"Yes, I am taking a shower." She yelled back. Arieanna and Dustin accidentally knocked the shampoo off the holder, making it crash into the floor.

"Are you ok?" Bobby asked

"Yes Bobby! Gosh can I take a damn shower in peace!"

"Where's Dustin?" Bobby asked

"I don't know. I guess at home!" she lied

"Oh, well his stuff is in the living room."

"Fuck Bobby, I don't know. Will you please leave me alone!"

"Yeah just hurry ok."

"Yeah whatever."

Moments later Arieanna opened the door to the bathroom and exited alone. She smiled at herself, before walking into her room. She closed the door and just threw herself on the bed. Dustin came running in and dived on top of her. "You ok?" he asked holding her in his arms.

"Yeah, I think I am." She replied smiling.

"I need to tell you something." Dustin whispered getting closer to her ear. "You look really sexy when you are wet."

Arieanna started giggling "Well Mr. Rogers, you look sexy yourself all wet."

"I love you!" he whispered. "You know that right?"

"I love you too." She whispered back. "A lot!" He moved closer to her and kissed her sweetly on the lips before they were interrupted

"Rie, are you in there?" Bobby asked

"Yeah, come in." she yelled after Dustin moved off the bed. She leaned up.

"What are you guys up too?" Bobby asked walking in

"Nothing just talking." Arieanna lied

Dustin laughs "Yeah, I was trying to get her to tell me what she wanted for Christmas." He replied winking at Arieanna who was blushing.

"Well the tree looks awesome. You guys did a great job. I found that ornament you made when you were 8. The one that looked horrible. Ma loved it anyway."

"Hey, I was only 8 when I made that thing. To me it was beautiful."

"Yeah, right." Bobby replied laughing.

"Well I am really hungry. Let's go get something to eat." Arieanna replied jumping off the bed. She grabbed Dustin's hand and ran down the stairs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wake up!" Arieanna yelled at the top of the stairs. "It's Christmas!"

"Will you shut up!" Angel yelled opening his door.

"PRESENTS!" she screamed. She went running down the stairs into the living room. There were presents all around the tree. "Wow!" she gasped.

"Hey, wait for Bobby!" Angel told her.

"Bobby!" she yelled at the bottom the stairs. She remembered about when she was little and went running up the stairs into Bobby's room. She jumped straight onto the bed. He rolled over with a smile on his face and brought her down. He started tickling her, as she screamed for Angel. Before Angel could get through the door, Bobby grabbed Arieannas hand and went running downstairs. "Come on guys the presents are waiting!" he yelled

"He's 30 years old and he still acts like a little boy." Arieanna replied. They walked down the stairs and saw Bobby sitting in the floor. There was a soft tap on the door. "I'll get it." Arieanna replied. She opened the door and saw Dustin in a Santa suit. "Merry Christmas baby!" she yelled

"Merry Christmas!" he kissed her cheek before walking in.

"Can you two hurry up!" Bobby yelled "I want my presents!"

Dustin and Arieanna laugh before walking into the living room hand and hand. They sat down in the floor.

"Ok, Rie, me and Angel want you to open ours first. Well I mean the first one first because it came from the heart and I think you might want it." Bobby told her "I know how much you wanted Jack and Ma to be here, but I think this will make everything ok."

"What is it?" she asked softly.

"Open it and see." Angel replied. He sat down after getting the gift from under the tree. Arieanna took a deep breath before opening the package. It revealed a cross necklace, one like Bobby had but it writing on the back. 'Trust your heart with faith' it was the necklace Evelyn gave Jack the first Christmas he was with them. "Where did you get this?" she whispered

"The hos….the hospital gave it to use." Angel replied

"OMG! This is the best gift that I could possibly get. You're right this does make everything so much better." She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. "I just wish they were here." Bobby moved over to her and wrapped his arms around his baby sister. Dustin grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. Angel rubbed her head before kissing it. "We are going to be fine without them. We are already doing so well. You are doing great." Angel replied

"He's right. We are together, that's what matters." Bobby told her "You have Dustin too."

"Yeah that's right." Dustin told her squeezing her hand.

The rest of the day was wonderful. Arieanna got amazing gifts from her brothers. Her brothers seemed to love theirs as well. Dustin brought Arieanna up to her room to give her his gift. "Today was good. Better than I thought it would be." Arieanna replied laying down on her bed.

"Yeah, well you did good." He replied. "But now its time for my gift."

"Do I have to find out the hard way what it is?" she asked sitting up. She had a smile on her face

"If you want to find out the hard way." He replied returning the smile. He moved closer to her. "But I really want to give it to you so let's not choose the hard way just yet."

Arieanna started laughing "Ok…." She moved over to let him sit down.

"You know that you are the love of my life right?" Dustin asked

"Yeah, I figured that out."

"So I was thinking the other day at my house, that I have only known you for 3 weeks. But if I could I would drop everything to be able to spend the rest of my life with you. I will give my last breath for you Arieanna. My whole heart belongs to you. I can't sleep without seeing your face when I close my eyes. Every time I walk in the snow I can feel your warm body next to mine. When I am alone I long for your touch, even if it's for 5 seconds. When I watch TV, I love feeling you in my arms." He kept smiling at her as her eyes filled with tears "When I take a shower, I think of you." Arieanna could fill her face getting hot, but felt the tears stream down her face. "You make my life so much better. Will you do me….." he asked but dropped something on the floor "Hold on, hold that thought." He told her bending down on the ground. He looked under her bed before leaning up. "Found it…" he opened his hand and revealed a ring. "Will you do me a favor and marry me, before I go completely insane of not having you every second of my life?"

Arieanna covered her mouth and shook her head. It was like she was trying to say something but couldn't get it out. "Ye….Yeah…Yeah….YES!" she yelled. She jumped into his arms. He picked her up in his arms and place the ring on her finger. "Merry Christmas!" he told her before kissing her.

"Yes it is." Angel replied in the door way.

"Angel!" Arieanna yelled, jumping off the ground. She jumped into his arms and hugged him.

"Congratulations sweetheart. You deserve it!" he replied. Arieanna went running down the stairs.

"Bobby!" she yelled. Bobby turned around and had a huge smile on his face "You knew?"

"Of course. He came to me last night." Arieanna squealed and just wrapped her arms around her older brother. " I love you Bobby!" she replied. He let her down and kissed her forehead, before going back into the kitchen. She walked outside to find it snowing, but she felt warm in this snow. She looked up to the sky and saw the sun shining down her. It was like it was kissing her with its warmness. "Merry Christmas Ma. Merry Christmas Jackie. I love you!" she replied. She felt the cross on her neck and wrapped her fingers around it and closed her eyes. She felt arms wrap around her shoulders and kiss her ear. "Trust you're heart with faith." She whispered

"You should do that." He whispered back. He turned her around "Your mom would be so proud of you right now. So would Jack, but you have to have faith that this is all going to work out." He leaned down and softly kissed her. "I'll be inside." He let go of her hand and closed the door behind him.

"Rie, I am always with you." Someone whispered. She turned around

"Jackie!" she squealed

"Merry Christmas Rie. Trust that heart of yours. It hasn't lied to you yet."

"I will." She smiled

"Trust the cross too. I found it always gave me peace."

"I think I finally found peace Jack. I love you and I miss you."

"I love you too baby. I have to go now."

"Ok…" she smiled at her brother before there was nothing there but snow. She smiled at herself before opening the door. She took one last look and saw the sun glowing on the snow. "I love you too ma!" she replied before closing the door.
