She threw her coat off, not bothering to put it anywhere she might find it again later on. She didn't care; actually all she wanted right now was to go to bed.

"Good night Nick" she called as she made her way up the staircase with a yawn. If this was how Christmas was going to be every year she was heavily considering just sleeping all year.

"But I still have to give you your Christmas present" he called up the stairs. She stopped and looked down at him "just come back down for a…not even 5 minutes" he gave her his puppy dogface, damn him. He knew she couldn't resist that look. She sighed and gave in, walking back down the steps. His face burst into a huge grin and then he ran off to some corner of the house that she didn't know existed.

When he reappeared he had a simple, small, black box in his hand. He shuffled awkwardly. She half smiled as she came down the stairs. "Nick? What's that?"

He shuffled again. "Well, we never really had a…um…a formal engagement" he replied.

He got down on one knee. "So…will you marry me?" he opened the black box to reveal silver band with sapphire and on either side of it were two small diamonds. "It was my moms," he added.

Her smile got bigger. "A little late for that question isn't it?" she teased, pulling him up from his position. "But yes, of course I will" she added. He grinned at her and put the ring on her finger where the silver band of her wedding ring was already. "Can I go to bed now?" she asked, biting back a yawn. He nodded, kissing her gently on the lips.

"Yeah, it's been a long day"

"More like three" she corrected. He laughed and nodded, putting the box back in pocket. He put his arm around her.

"The point is, we still have a very long year ahead of us. And possibly another future Christmas disaster that might involve Buck" he finished.

She groaned. "Don't even joke about that," she said as they started up the stairs, he laughed. "Merry Christmas Nick."

His grin only got wider. "Merry Christmas Sandy"
