Rafe woke up with his head throbbing majorly. He wiped off his face
as he allowed his eyes to adjust to the bright sun. "Where am I?" he
moaned.
"Nurse's quarters," he heard Evelyn's voice say but he couldn't see her.
"What did I fall in a hole or something?"
"No, you're not in the hospital your in my room."
"Wait what?" he said sitting up, immediately falling back with the major pressure in his head. "I didn't do anything stupid did I?"
"Well, nothing too stupid."
"Wait, I remember now, Danny came and you were there and I asked you to marry me and you said 'no." He said looking around.
"I didn't say no," she said sitting next to him. "I told you to ask me later."
"I told you I'd remember," he said with a smile.
"I guess I should never underestimate the drinking powers of Rafe McCawley." She said with a snicker.
"Merry Christmas Eve." Rafe said reaching his hand up to her face.
"Merry Christmas Eve," she replied kissing him on the forehead.
"I love you," he said pulling her on top of him.
"I love you too," she said kissing him softly.
"But, I gotta get back to the barracks." He interrupted as she got up.
"Who's still there?"
"No one really, they let most of us go home for the holidays," he said putting on his coat.
"That's a surprise." She said rolling onto her bed. "Why don't you come spend Christmas with me and the girls?"
"I was kind of hoping we could spend Christmas alone." Rafe said pulling Evelyn off of the bed into his arms. "Just you, me, and little Danny."
"I'd like that," she said rubbing noses with his. "But where can we have it?"
"Here," he said moving demonstrating places to put things.
"But there's no room."
"Well we can take one of these beds out; you don't share the room anymore."
*******************
The night was young and mild; Rafe had found a small tree and had helped Evelyn decorate it. Rafe lifted Danny to the top and helped him put the star on the tree. Evelyn and the girls had made Christmas cookies and the three all shared them, Danny mainly throwing them around. "He has no clue what's going on," Evelyn giggled as she wiped off the little baby's face.
"Oh, but he'll have fun tomorrow morning when he gets his presents." Rafe said as he shook one of the presents in front of Danny.
"So should we be getting to sleep so Santa will come sooner?" Evelyn laughed throwing the present back under the tree.
"He doesn't know about Santa yet, you don't have to use lingo."
"Just shut up and come to sleep with me."
"Aw, you want to cuddle."
The night was long yet soothing as Rafe held Evelyn in his arms all night. The sun crept through the clouds early as it illuminated the room waking up Danny in seconds. "Even though he doesn't know about Christmas he still gets up uncharacteristically early." Evelyn said getting up and taking Danny out of his crib. "Do you wanna open presents big boy?"
Most of the present under the tree were for Danny consisting of stuffed animals and other random toys. Rafe had bought him two presents, a little model plane and a picture of his real Daddy. He had bought Evelyn two presents as well, three tickets on the Queen Mary. "I got a tux," he laughed as she through her arms around him.
"What's the other one?" She asked shaking the small package.
Rafe took it out of her hands as he began to unwrap it. "Alright, I've done this before I can do it again." He sighed, "Do you believe in soul mates, or love at first sight," Evelyn nodded, "well I didn't until I met you, and I love you so much." He said opening the box and looking in it. "And I'm not doing this for Danny or anybody else, just because I want too and I want you." He flipped the box around towards her and revealing a beautiful ring with a large diamond. "I think now's the time, will you marry me?"
Evelyn smiled looking down at the ring then at him, "I've been waiting for you to ask me this for so long," she snickered, "of course!" Evelyn said wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.
A/N: Short but sweet; I thought I'd do what everybody else will probably do today or tomorrow by doing a Christmas chapter. I'll have another one up soon. Happy Holidays!
