Christmas Present

Snow was falling, blanketing Old Corona in layers of white. Quirin and his wife Vivienne were snug in their home, sitting by a roaring fire. Quirin had spent most of the day before chopping wood, he enjoyed the physical activity and it filled him with pride to provide warmth for his family. It still amazed him how different life was since leaving the Brotherhood, different and yet more fulfilling.

"It's been a perfect Christmas, hasn't it?" observed Vivienne. They'd gone to church, where Vivienne sung a solo in the choir. They'd visited neighbors, sharing bread and wine, and wishing everyone a happy holiday. They'd even found time to build snowmen outside. Vivienne's snow farmer was a good likeness, Quirin's was more lopsided and bulgy, but obviously made with care.

"Yes, it's been wonderful." Quirin agreed.

"Did you see how happy the children were when it started to snow? The whole village must have come out. I saw Burt's boy sledding with the barber's daughter. They were very cute together." Vivienne enthused.

"Winters are fairly mild here, the snow is still an event for most people." Quirin reasoned.

"Well I love snow, and I love you." Vivienne declared.

Quirin beamed. He'd never get tired of hearing her say that. "I love you too and I hope you liked your present." Quirin said, referring to the new dress he'd purchased for Vivienne. (He'd noticed her old one was getting a little tight.)

"It's lovely. Of course, you'll have to wait a few months for your gift." Vivienne smiled brightly. "We're going to have a baby."

"A baby! That's fantastic!" Quirin leaned over and kissed Vivienne. This truly was a perfect Christmas.

THE END

The fandom decided Varian was born in March (because of when Tangled the Series premiered) which makes him the perfect Christmas announcement. Also I'm very happy to have gotten a request, so if there's anything else you'd like to see, just ask and I'll see what I can do.
