Chapter 27

Two days later and it was finally Christmas. The sun was shining bright and the ground was covered in a thick blanket of snow. The birds sang cheerfully as the world was awoken.

Christmas was my favorite time of year, the only downfall was that I was still subjected to my bed. I thought I would have been healed by now. I would have to mention that to Jean tomorrow, but today was nothing more than laying around with those you loved.

There was a knock on my door as I tried to wake myself up.

"Come in!" I said through a yawn.

The door opened and in walked Logan, looking just as disheveled as I was.

"Merry Christmas Pix." he said.

"Merry Christmas." I said with a tired smile.

"Sleep well." he asked.

"Not really." I replied.

"Ah well that's a shame. I thought we could have our own little Christmas here before having to deal with everyone else. I brought us some breakfast also." he said.

He sat down two trays of breakfast. Mine was obviously packed to the edges with food seeing as how I was still weak.

"Ah thank you." I said.

I grabbed the tray and sat it on my lap. Logan grabbed the remote and turned on the t.v to see if there was anything on. He decided on a hockey game and we sat, eating our breakfast, watching t.v. I finished first, eating up every bit of food on my plate, besides the ham. I just wasn't a big fan.

"You gonna eat that?" Logan asked pointing to my ham.

"Go wild man." I said.

He stuck his fork into the meat and began ravishing it. He ate like he hadn't even seen food in like a week. He finally finished stuffing his face and put our trays on the floor and out of the way.

"So, what did you get me?" I asked him.

He laughed. "Boy you get straight to the point don't you."

"What can I say, I love Christmas!" I said happily.

"Alright." he said.

He reached down and picked up a big box. He sat it on the bed and I opened it in a flash. I ripped the top off and looked inside to find a bunch of clothing apparel. I gave him an odd look as I pulled out a t-shirt.

He saw my look of questioning and cleared his throat.

"Uh, those are clothes that have, uh, holes in the back for, uh, your wings to go through. You know, so you don't always have to wear tank tops and you don't always have to keep them detained." he said.

I turned the shirt around to find holes in the back. They didn't look trashy or anything. It seemed that the holes were made to fit in with the design of the shirt.

"This is so cool." I mumbled to myself.

The clothes were beautiful, too. They weren't just regular t-shirts or sweatshirts, but they were designed in beautiful ways and in beautiful colors. This was weird, to think Logan went through all this trouble just to find clothes made for me.

"And I also got you this." he said.

He pulled out a small velvet box and handed it to me. I looked up at him with shock in my eyes. This couldn't be what I thought it was. There was no way.

I took the box with shaky hands and slowly opened it. I heaved a deep sigh, whether it was from disappointment or happiness I couldn't be sure. I pulled out a silver necklace that had a small fairy with black wings hanging from it. It wasn't gothic looking or to preppy looking, it was very elegant looking, like someone had specifically designed it.

Logan took it from my hands and sat behind me on my bed. I grabbed my hair and pulled it around my shoulders. He put it over my head and clasped it in the back. It hung to just above my chest and it glowed in the sunlight.

"Turn it over." he whispered huskily in my ear.

I took the fairy into my fingers and turned her over. Engraved on one wing was the word "Pixie" and on the other was the word "Logan" in beautiful script writing. I didn't notice I was crying until I felt Logan's hand sweeping away a lone tear.

"Thank you." I whispered to him.

I turned around and gave him a huge hug. This was by far the best Christmas I had ever had. I pulled away from him, wiping away the few extra tears that fell and laughed a bit.

"Uh, my present isn't exactly as grand but," I bent over my bed and reached into the side table pulling out a box, "here."

I handed the box to him, absentmindedly biting my lip, hoping he would like it. He tore off the bow and opened the lid. I saw a small smile form on his face as he took our the buckle.

"I didn't know what to get you so, I had something made. I hope it's not too dumb or anything because I wasn't sure-" he cut me off with a kiss.

"I love it." he whispered as he pulled away.

I gave him a smile and he gave me another kiss. Just then the door flew open causing me and Logan to pull apart.

"I hope we're not interrupting anything are we?" said Sarah as she barged in the door.

"No not at all Flip." I mumbled giving Logan an annoyed look.

"Wonderful!" she said. "Come on in!"

Jean, Scott, Storm, and Ryan all came into my room, gifts overflowing from their arms.

"We thought that we could do Christmas in here, since you can't get out of your bed." said Scott.

"Aw that's sweet of you guys, but I didn't get you guys anything!" I said.

"Don't worry about it." said Sarah. "Having you here is enough."

"Thanks." I said.

"Alright! Down to business." said Sarah.

Everyone sat down where they could find a seat. Logan leaned up against the wall and I settled in between his legs, leaning against his chest.

"Ryan sweetheart, this is for you, from me." said Sarah.

"I never would have known." he replied sarcastically.

"Shut up and just open it." said Sarah.

Ryan opened the box and his eyes almost fell from their sockets.

"Hockey tickets!" he yelled. "You are by far the most beautiful person on this earth have I ever told you that?"

"All the time." said Sarah.

Ryan gave Sarah a kiss and handed his gift to her. She opened it to find some perfume and a new camera. It was blue in color and she was ecstatic.

"Oh thank you! Oh I can't wait to take pictures." she said fiddling with it.

"Look what you've unleashed Ryan." I said.

"Oh shut it Wings." said Sarah.

"Alright, Scott this is from me to you." said Jean.

Scott smiled an opened the box she handed him. Inside were the pair of glasses that she had bought from the mall.

"Oh these are awesome he said. Everyone close your eyes just in case." he chuckled.

He closed his eyes as he took of his glasses and put on the new ones. The new ones looked so much better on his face. They made him look younger, hotter, and more sophisticated.

"I love them." he said.

"Well that's not all." said Jean.

Scott grabbed the other box from her and opened it. Inside was a gift certificate from the new motorcycle shop.

"Yes!" he exclaimed. "I have been wanting to go there since it opened! Thank you so much baby."

He kissed Jean and then handed her his gift. She opened it to find a gift card to receive a full body massage and anything else you wanted.

"Now that is for you, Sarah, and Pix. Since I know how you guys all get headaches. It's scary now that I think about it. But that is for all of you to go and have a girl's day or girl's night out. Whatever you wanna do." he said.

"Thank you so much!" she said, giving him a big kiss.

"And this." he said handing her a box.

She opened it revealing a beautiful diamond ring. It had a big princess cut stone in the middle followed by two smaller stones on each side on a silver band.

"Since we weren't able to celebrate our anniversary, I thought I would get you this." he said.

"Oh Scott it's beautiful. You didn't have to." she said.

"Oh Jean shut up. You got a diamond ring! Be happy!" I said with a smile.

She laughed as she put it on her finger and let it glimmer in the sun. Sarah and I gathered around so we could get a closer look. It was an absolute beauty.

"Well, I believe we have one more gift to give out." said Scott.

I looked around with confusion. Who else had to give a gift? Everyone already gave their gifts. Logan pulled himself out from behind me and stood next to me. Everyone else moved so they were on the other side of Logan. Logan bent down and took something from underneath the bed. I couldn't see what it was because he had it hidden.

"Pix, this is one of the most scariest things I have ever done. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would be doing this but, there is just something about you that makes me a different man. You make me want to be better, and not as mean and cocky as I used to be. You make me feel things that I had never felt before and you make me say things I would never ever think of saying, and one of those things, is I love you, with all of my heart and every inch of my soul. When you got hurt, I couldn't think straight. I kept wondering what my life would be without you, and I noticed something, that my life wouldn't be anything without you. You are my everything and if I ever lost you, I would die. So,"

I was so far gone and so confused with what he was saying, I didn't notice the object he pulled from underneath the bed.

"Katriana, will you marry me?"

My breathing stopped and my eyes glued onto his. Was he for real? Was he seriously asking me the one major question that he said he would never ask? I didn't know what to say. This surely took me by surprise and I am sure it was evident on my face. I looked down to find a princess cut diamond, set into a silver band, with two smaller square diamonds on each side staring back at me. It was the most beautiful ring I had ever seen, my dream ring. I slowly looked up into his face to see fear written all over. Was he scared I would say no? Was I saying no? Just then I realized that I hadn't given an answer.

"Yes." I whispered so softly that I don't think even I heard it.

"Yes." I said a bit louder.

Relief flooded over Logan's face like a waterfall followed by the biggest smile he had ever shown. He kissed me as I wrapped my arms around his neck, the room filled with cries of joy. I pulled away, a smile growing from ear to ear as he pushed the ring onto my finger. I laughed as tears found their way onto my cheeks, and happiness fill me all over. I hugged Logan again as I continued to cry tears of happiness.

Sarah and Jean all came over and gave me their hugs and congratulations along with Ryan and Scott.

"You know what this means." said Sarah.

"Bachelorette party!" Jean and Sarah yelled.

I only laughed as they continued to jump around, happiness flowing all over the room. I turned to Logan and hugged him again.

"Thank you." I whispered to Logan as I rested my forehead on his.

"No, thank you." he whispered back.

I smiled and kissed him, loving that I was going to marry him. It was insane, to think that you would never marry and then one day, poof, your engaged.

It was a strange thing fate, and I was glad it was on my side.

Hope you all liked it a lot! Let me know!!
