Author's Note: Merry Christmas, though its the eve. Thank you for all your support corncering me and my sister. We still aren't cured, but are doing a little better. And for the thanks you all deserve, I willed myself to get this done. I hope you are having a great Christmas, as my family is sitting around my sister and my hospital beds today. So, my Christmas isn't going to be great, but I would like to thank you for all the love you guys sent, and I'm hoping to be on the road to recovery soon. But, as a great thanks, I wrote this last night, just in time for Christmas.
Disclaimer: Last night was awesome, I owned Big Time Rush, and saw the guys everyday. Yeah, then I woke up.

Christmas Love
Christmas, the time of year for cheer and joy. Where you give to the needy, spend time with family and friends, enjoying eggnog and sitting around a fire. Well, that's what a TV Christmas was. In the real world, you decorated the house, 'Santa' visited you when you were young, and presents were given to you by friends and family, just like you gave them.
2J was decorated to the max, celebrating the guys second Christmas here, and Bella's first, seeing as she was spending the night there till Christmas. A beautiful, real Christmas tree was standing proudly in the living room, full decorated with colorful ornaments, the swirly slide had been decorated with twinkling red and green lights, the doors had wreaths on them. Seeing as 2J didn't have a fireplace, the stockings were hung under the TV, artificial snow was around the room, a red table cloth was covering the table, and the seats each had little peices of tinsel on them.
The kitchen had holiday treats. Carlos had tried, and failed to make cookies, but Mrs. Knight used her awesome kitchen skills to whip some up. There was a small vase, with some candy canes in it, which the guys, Bella and Katie would eat everytime they passed. On the counter, a messy gingerbread stood lopsidedly, seeing as they had failed to make a correct one, and little gingerbread cookies were one a plate, smiling. Empty hot coco packets lined the trash, and apple cider wasn't ever far away. A fruit cake was lying on the counter, untouched by anyone, even Mrs. Knight.
It was like a movie scene, the beautiful Christmas decorations, happy family and the great food.
Everyone was happy. Camille, Rachell and Stephanie had gone to visit their families, putting James, Carlos and Logan down. But all three girlfriends promised they would be back for the New Year, and they could watch the fireworks together.
Ever since then, it had been a great few days leading up to it. They had all spent time doing last minute shopping, and ordering presents for each other. And last night, Christmas eve, Mrs. Knight treated the teens to a large roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, and many other delicious dishes.
Now, all Big Time Rush were in their PJ's, all in bed; Bella sleeping in Katie's room. All of them crashed as soon as they hit the pillows, seeing as Mrs. Knight had them up all day decorating the appartment even more so. NOw that they thought about it -where in the world did she get all the decorations at last notice. They orriginally planned to go home for the holidays, but a snow storm was happening back there, leaving them in L.A. Gustavo was in Hawaii, seeing as last year he went to Figi. Kelly was spending time with family somewhere. Everyone was happy.
For most of the night, Bella sat up in bed, looking at the ceiling. She didnt feel quite comfortable here, it didnt feel quite like home. Yeah, she loved the Palm Woods, she loved her friends, her brother, her boyfriend, her job, everything that came with this life. But celebrating Christmas here didnt feel right. It felt wrong, because she had spent it in Minnesota for 17 years, almost 18. It was like moving to a new house, and celebrating a holiday, it didnt feel right.
After a few hours, she finally fell into the sleep she desperatly needed.
When morning came around, she was rudely woken up to screaming. "Presents!" A familiar voice yelled at the top of their lungs, waking her and the rest of the family.
Of course, Carlos always woke people up at the crack of dawn when it came to presents. Bella walked out the door, yawning, "Carlos, it's six in the morning. Cant you wait until a reasonable time to wake us... like noon?" She asked, plopping down on the couch.
He scowled, and was dragging James into the room, before going to grab Logan, and then Kendall. "No, it's Christmas, and we always get up early to open presents." He whined.
Logan yawned, "Mrs. Knight isnt up, so we cant start-"
"-And we know what she's like if she doesnt get her eight hours of sleep." James finished, fixing his hair.
Carlos pouted, and Bella felt her hand come in contact with a something smooth. She picked up the note, and then a wide smile came across her face. "We can open presents!"
Everyone looked at her, and she read aloud:
Don't wake me or Katie to open the presents, as it will be at six in the morning knowing Carlos. Merry Christmas.
-Mamma Knight
PS: All 'santa' present's we'll open when I get up, just open the ones you got each other.
Kendall scowled at his girlfriend, "You couldn't have left the note and let us wait until later. It's only six in the morning for pete's sake!" He exclaimed, sitting beside Bella on the couch, and she rested her head onto his shoulder, yawning nearly falling asleep then and there.
Carlos just stuck his tounge out like a five year old and started to gather presents from under the Christmas tree, handing them out to everyone. "It's Christmas, we always open presents when one of us wakes up."
"Yeah," Logan started, "Until you started to set an alarm to wake you -he tried to wake me up at 12:01 to start opening the presents, and said 'it's consitered morning.'" He fell back, aiming for the couch, but landed roughly on the floor with a small grunt. "Urg!" He groaned, stumbling to the couch. "This is what happens when I get up too early."
James, who was combing his hair, spoke up, "Dude, they're presents, why wait?" He asked, fondling with a wrapped box, that said it was to him and from Bella.
Carlos smiled, and grabbed one of his own presents, ripping the wrapping off. He looked inside, and his eyebrows scrunched, "A book?" He looked at the tag on the wrapping paper, "Kendall!" He whinned, " I hate reading!"
The small brunette boy sighed, "Flip it over, and look at the cover." He requested.
Turning the book over, the Latino made a "Oooh" sound. There was a large picture of a hockey helmet on front, and it said, History of Hockey Helmets. "Thanks Kendall, I'll acually read this book." He placed it to the side, waisting no time to grab the next gift, and tearing the wrapping paper off of it too.
After finishing his pile, Carlos had gotten the book on helmets, a first aid kit from Logan, seeing as she thought he was too dangerous, a video of best wipeouts from James, and a corndog maker from Bella.
He looked down, and saw a small bag, and the tag read his name, "Who's this from?" He asked, flipping the tag to check for a name.
"Me-" Bella cut off, jumping from her seat, and grabbing matching bags from the other piles, giving them to the correct guys, "You should open them at the same time, seeing as their all the same." She said, settiling back into Kendall's arms.
They all looked at each other, and shrugged before reaching into the bags, pulling out the small present, and giving her a quizzical look. She quickly explained, "Their friendship bracets." She held out her own arm, showing a matching woven bracelet that read Bella. The guys looked at their own, seeing that each of their names were woven into the braclets. "Kinda girly for you guys, but I thought they'd be a good present..." She rambled.
Carlos laughed, "There awesome!" All four guys gave her a big hug all at once.
As soon as they pulled away James started to open his own presents. He had gotten Call of Duty: Black Ops from Carlos, a pair of new aviator sunglasses from Logan, a blowdryer from Kendall as a joke -he got a mouthful from that, though knowing James and his hair he may actually use it, and a large supply of Cuda products from Bella.
Next, Logan went through his pile. Kendall got him a large book on Physics, James got a large Astronomy kit for him, Carlos got him a llama stuffed animal and book (one time Logan says he likes llamas and this was the tenth gift he'd recieved that included llamas! -and that was only for this year.) And Bella had gotten him two tickets to go to the new astronomy museum that just opened up, probably so he could bring Camille.
Finally, Kendall leaned forward and grabbed his presents. James got him some beanies, Logan got him some new hockey skates, Carlos got him a giant bag of Cheese puffs.
He reached the last present, purpossly leaving Bella's for last, knowing it'd probably be the best -I mean, she got him Minnessota Wild tickets that were front row for his birthday. Wonder if she'd top that? He picked up the thin, green wrapped box from the ground.
Everyone was looking at the box, mostly because they had no idea what it was. All the boys snook around and found most of their presents early. Bella caught Carlos trying to re-seal his present after peaking at it one day. After that, she had to buy him a new present, and hide them more carefully. None of the boys found any of their presents after that, seeing as Bella had asked Camille to hide them in her appartment until it was time for them to go under the tree.
"Open int" Bella said impaitiantly, seeing as she wasnt one to wait very long. Kendall rolled his green eyes, ripping the wrapping paper off of the slim box.
All of their expecting faces fell when all that was wrapped was a white box. James scoffed, "You got him clothes?"
She reached over, hitting his head, making sure to mess up his hair, "Let him open it before you start making fun of me for it."
Logan coughed, not being very stuble on him wanting to know what Kendall's present was. The blond grimanced at him, and lifted the lid on the box, puliing the garmet out for everyone to see.
As soon as Kendall got a full veiw of his present, his jaw nearly hit the floor, as did the other's. It was a costomised Minnesota Wild Jersey, with his name, and the number 13 -as that was the number on his old hockey jersey back home. The other guys were all just as dumbfounded as him -that must have cost nearly $300 to have it customized, number and everything.
They all looked at Bella who was smiling weakly. Kendall's eyes were wide as he turned to her, "How in the world did you get this?"
She bit her lip, "Well, it took a while to find, mind you, but I finally found a place that could customize it." She took a breath, "So now it has your name and everything."
Carlos butted in, "Yeah, but it's got his hockey number and everything! He was player 13 back home, how'd you do that?"
"Took a while, but I worked it out." Bella replied.
James hit his sister's arm lightly, "How much did you even spend on him?"
She was biting her lip a bit harder now, "Err..."
Kendall looked at her, "Bella, I really like it -I love it. But you're not going to spend a huge amount of money on my Christmas present." He argued, though you could tell he was still oggling over the jersey in his hands.
"A present is a present." Bella stated. "The whole point of getting people presents is for them to like them. And I know that you love this, and that's what matters. Who cares how much money I spend on it?" She asked, quirking an eyebrow at him.
James chidded, "I care!" She turned and frowned at him.
Logan, being the peace maker, said, "Alright, Bella's turn to open presents." He passed her his gift.
As he did that, Kendall made sure no one was looking when he slipped the jersey over his head, smilling down at it. It really was the perfect gift for him.
Bella sat back down, the only one noticing that Kendall had put his jersey on, and settled into his arms. Taking the gift from Logan, she started to carefully remove the wrapping. All four of the boys forr inpatient, each ripping it off at the same time. "Thanks guys." She said sarcastically.
Logan had gotten her a charm braclet, with five little charms hanging from it, one to represent everybody. Book; Logan, Hockey Helmet: Carlos, Music Note: James, Hockey Stick: Kendall, Heart: Her. Carlos had gotten her some coupons, which had his face on them, and read Day with Carlos Coupon! which all of them laughed at.
Opening James' present, she had to cry a bit. It was a large photo album, with photo's ranging from when they were little, to now in L.A. She let a tear come out of her eye in happiness.
Carlos noticed, and elbowed James in the ribs, "Your gift was so bad you made her cry!"
Bella laughed weakly, and whipped the tear away, "I love the gift, I'm cry in happiness, not because it's bad." She said, folding the book up.
Leaning over, she gave her brother a large hug, and said in his ear, "Thanks, big brother." using a nickname that she rarely ever did.
He smirked hearing it, "No problem, little sister." He teased, and Bella hit his chest weakly.
Kendall gave a cough, and handed her a small box, "My turn." He declared, placing the box into her hands, the silver paper bright, with a blue bow on top. It was evident that Kendall didn't wrap it, seeing how girly it look, probably Mrs. Knight.
She carefully slipped the paper off, letting the bow fall into her hand. Opening the lid, her mouth fell open in awe. It was hard to say who was more surprised, her or the others.
"Kendall, I'm going to kill you if your asking her to marry you -we're 18!" He yelled. Bella was staring at the ring that lay snug in the little velvet box. It was a simple silver ring with a heart in the middle, a few diamonds on one of the sides on the heart. On the left of the heart, it read Kendall and the other read Bella.
James was still sending daggers at Kendall with his eyes, and the blonde held his hands up, "I'm not asking her to marry me." They all motioned for him to continue, "It's a promise ring, that one day she'll marry me." When he saw James still giving him a look, he added, "When we're older."
Bella smiled, "Well, I love it." She leaned over and gave him a peck on the lips. He slipped it onto her middle finger, and she smiled, snuggling into him.
Logan called out, 'Okay, who wants breakfast?"
Late that Christmas night, Bella was standing outside on 2J's balcony, looking at the dark sky. Today was perfect. She wasn't used to it not being a white Christmas, as she had always had one, but it seemed that this Christmas was still the best.
"What are you doing out here?" A familiar voice asked, making her jump a bit. She turned, looking into those familiar green eyes.
She shrugged, "Savoring memories I guess, thinking." She smiled, "You?"
Kendall just repeated her acting, "No real reason." He laced their hands together, and felt the small band of the ring on her finger, and smiled. "I can't believe that James thought I'd ask you to marry me this young." He said, holding up her hand with the promise ring settle on.
Bella nodded, "Yeah, well. You gave me a ring, and the position you were sitting may be consitered you being on one knee." She replied.
"Well, when we're older, and we're not working on singing careers that's when I'll ask you to marry me."
To his surprise, Bella laughed.
He frowned, "What are you laughing about?" He asked, feeling a little hurt.
She looked up, smiling, "Well, thing is..."
"Come on, what is it?" Kendall prodded.
Bella smiled sheepishly, "Well, as stupid as it sounds, if you asked me to marry you, I probably would have said yes." She admitted. "Guess that's what love does to you."
"Yeah... but if we were married we'd fight all the time." He joked.
She laughed, and then said, "You know, all I want for Christmas is you..." She looked down at the ring, "But this is nice too."
Kendall hugged her closer, both looking at the nice sky, "We made it a Beautiful Christmas."
Author's Note: Alright, I hope you enjoyed that. I know, the end was fluffy (probably corny for adding the song names in too) but I liked it. I spent a long time on this, and this is probably the most words, research, and time i've spent on these one-shots. I spent nearly all day looking up things for presents:
1) I listened to Big Time Rush's version of Twelve days of Christmas, looking for ideas (book on physics, beanies, corndog machine...)
2) I need one last present for James, and since he tans alot, I thought of sunglasses. So, I looked through millions of photo's of him, and found he looked great in Aviator glasses, hence that gift.
3) Logan's Llama present, well, I just remembered he said, "I have to go pet my llama now" and checked to make sure before putting that in.
4) Some may be wondering why I had Carlos give Kendall a bag of Cheese Puffs. Well, I needed a present, and I remembered in Big Time Party him saying stuff that he liked {slam dancing, lawn darts, and cheese puffs} so I decided on that.
5) Book on Helmet History, yes, I actually found one, I have no Idea how or what website I was on, but it was there.
6) The Hockey Jersey -I wanted to see if you could actually personalized a Minnesota Wild hockey jersey, and you can.
7) Then I had to go and see Kendall's Jersey #. So I went on youtube, and found Big Time Concert, because I remembered him wearing a jersey there, and I had to watch it over and over to make sure I got the right #...13
8) The promise ring. I had the hardest time finding one that I thought was perfect. I binged it, I asked it, I googled it. Finally I found one that I loved. The link for it is in my profile, because I probably didn't describe exactly right. In my opinion it's a very pretty ring though, and something pretty when needed, and can be just a simple ring at other times.
As you can see, I'm obsessed with getting the perfect thing, and my entire day I was googling things for everyone, making sure they were real, making sure the characters would like it. Very long and hard process. I probably didnt need to go through all that work, but I am so bored in the hospital that I need something to do. And Big Time Rush is the best medicine that I can get.
Merry Christmas to everyone, and I hope you are all home, healthy and happy. Because you never realise how much these moments mean until your in a situation like mine, and your missing them. I hope your holidays are filled with joy, and that your Christmas wishes come true. And right now, I'm hoping for my Christmas wish to come true, and for me and my sister to be home and healthy again soon, and I want to thank you guys for the support and messages with conern, because it means alot.
Please review, as that is a present all in it's own.
