After retrieving their belongings, getting on the plane, and heading back, Arnold kissed Helga on the lips after he spotted his parents sleeping away an aisle over.
"They'll be thrilled to see them again." Helga whispered after enjoying another kiss from him. "I can't wait to see Phil and Gertie's faces when they do."
"Same here." Running his hand through her hair, Arnold couldn't get enough of kissing her. "Did you see that my dad bought a couple of bows to put on top of their heads?"
"Really? Oh that's cute. We should blindfold them both to add to their surprise. What do you say?"
Kissing her again, Arnold nuzzled her nose with his. "I say yes to that." Running his fingertip along her jawline he couldn't get enough of the fact that she's his now. "I love you, Helga."
"I love my Arnold."
Kissing her again, Arnold brushed his tongue against her lips wanting access and happy to receive it as they deepened their kisses. This is his girlfriend. She was always someone to be proud of.
Arriving home in the cab, Arnold and Helga giggled at the red large bows they were fixing on their heads as they stood next to the door. Being quiet they went inside to hear all the boarders and his grandparents in the living room just chatting away. Quietly, Arnold and Helga tiptoed to the living room entering.
"Merry Christmas everyone." Arnold greeted.
The shocked looks on their faces were instantly replaced as they ran up to them to hug them both screaming their names.
"You are both back. Why are you back so early?" Phil asked. "Not that we don't mind because we love you both, but still."
"Well grandpa, Helga and I have a surprise for both you and grandma. A surprise we must blindfold you for. Helga if you will." Arnold watched as she pulled out a couple of blindfolds to walk behind them and tie them up gently around their faces. Waving his hand in front of their faces to make sure they couldn't see, he tiptoed back towards the hallway to show his parents they can come in. "Helga and I wanted to give you a Christmas present and hated to be gone any longer."
"But Kimba, what about your parents?" Gertie wondered slightly.
By this time Helga joined Arnold's side as he wrapped his hand around her waist. "Grandma. Grandpa. You've done so much for all of us so, Helga and I, thought what can we give you that will say so much."
"Something that you'll remember for a lifetime because you are both incredibly special people." Helga added in almost about to burst out in tears.
Kissing her temple, Arnold put his finger in front of his mouth to silence the boarders from giving the present away as his parents stepped into the threshold. "Grandma. Grandpa. Please remove your blindfolds."
Doing so they both blinked before focusing on Miles and Stella. "OHHH!" They both exclaimed with their hands over their mouths.
"Merry Christmas, mom and dad." Miles grinned widely.
"We've missed you." Stella added.
Running over to their children, Phil and Gertie wrapped them in a very tight hug with tears streaming down their faces. Helga was crying at the scene grateful at how, Arnold wrapped his arms around her to let her lay her head against his chest. She had never seen something so perfect in all her life.
"You aren't allowed to leave again. I should ground you both." Phil proclaimed putting his hand against his son's face. "Never, ever again."
Gertie was speechless enjoying her long lost family back in her arms till she pulled back to watch her grandson's and Helga's reactions pulling away from Stella and Miles to wrap her arms them. "Thank you." Pulling away she looked to Helga. "That trip wasn't possible without you dear Eleanor." Kissing her forehead. "You and Kimba have brought this family back together again."
Helga had such a hard time speaking as she smiled at them. "You are all so incredibly special to me." With that she buried her head against, Arnold feeling his hand rub her back.
Pulling back, Gertie smiled as she looked to her husband who cheered. "Well about darn time you both got together." Phil cheered as he grabbed his son's hand. "This girl became officially adopted by us all the second she stepped foot in our lives. Your son has picked a winner in this one."
Arnold continued hugging her. "We all have seemed to have found our soul mates in this family." Looks down to her glistening blue eyes, Arnold grinned. "No, I have found the only girl I want to spend my lifetime with."
After being reacquainted as they all spoke together in the living room his parents were given Mr Smith's old room. At 11pm they all decided to get some shut eye. Saying good night to Helga, Arnold whispered something to her as she departed for her bedroom before he said good night to his parents. Going into his bedroom he dressed in a t-shirt and flannels as he slid into bed.
Soon he found her sliding into his bed with him. "Did you lock the door?" He whispered.
"Yes, doi." She wasn't snarky in the least she was teasing.
Brushing his lips against hers, Arnold sighed with contentment. "My Swan is an angel."
"My Football Head is a saint." Helga shuddered out from the feeling of his tongue moving softly against her lips.
Sliding his tongue into her opening, Arnold shuddered as well when their tongues touched. Pulling his tongue away so he can speak, he told her, "You wouldn't think that with the thoughts driving through my head."
"Oh? What type of thoughts?" She was intrigued running her hand down his side then back up.
Closing his eyes against that sensation she caused him had him rolling on top of her. "Thoughts I'm trying to contain until much later down the line."
Caught off guard a bit from him on top of her, Helga felt so heated right now. "Oh." She squeaked out. "I understand." Crap did she understand as she kissed him.
Now they were together now came the new sets of emotions. They both wanted to hold off on love making for now. Arnold finally felt it with her; The desire to be with her in that capacity, but will be some time down the line before it becomes fully there. Let their new relationship build up more. Arnold paused in his thoughts having a feeling when they do cross that bridge they will need either a place of their own or a hotel since he had a clue he would be very loud with her.
Helga was incredibly new to all of this and loving every second in his arms. She loved kissing him. Hell she loved everything about him making her think that when they do make love she wondered if he would carry her into bed and when she made love to him she'll be doing thousands of proclaimations knowing poetry will be recited. Suddenly a piece popped in right then making her swoon.
"Uh, Helga? You alright?" Arnold inquired as he studied her far off expression with the goofy cute smile on her face.
"Yes Arnold." She swoons again. "Never better."
Well he had some clue what it would be like after they made love because he knew that will be the same expression he'll be wearing too.
The following days, Gerald and Phoebe met Arnold's parents they didn't say anything about their new relationship agreeing to reveal it very soon. For now they wanted to spend time with his folks till it was New Years Eve where Stella and Miles were practically pushing them to have fun with their friends. Getting dressed up for Rhonda's party, Arnold went down to Helga's room to knock on it. It was a few seconds with her emerging with her hair down in waves with her dressed in a sapphire blue dress that came down close to her knees. Arnold was speechless.
"Helga..." He swallowed to help his now dry throat. "You..." Helga seemed amused. "Seriously no words can describe you right now except for something that would get me in trouble right now."
"Let me guess that you want to take this dress off me right now." She teased lightly as she stepped forward kissing him.
"Uh... Uh." Arnold was stammering at that thought before pressing her against him. "You are really tempting me." He whispered in her ear to prevent anyone from overhearing.
"Well you have been tempting me all this time too." Pulling away she nuzzled his nose with hers. "Let's get out of here my handsome, Football Head."
Heading downstairs they reached the bottom when they saw a flash. Both blinking, Stella was standing there with a camera. "Ugh my finger just had to press it now."
Miles was snickering beside her. "They'll look like owls in that picture you surprised them with."
Blushing, Stella smacked her husband lightly. "I might not keep that one." To the kids she smiled at them. "Oh you both look fantastic. Helga that dress looks perfect on you. It really brings out your eyes even more." Looking to her son she had to contain her tears at seeing her grown son going on a date with his girlfriend. "Oh sorry, I just wanted to see this moment so badly. Arnold you look so handsome." Raising up the camera to distract herself from weeping with joy, she said, "Now smile for me."
Wrapping his arm around Helga's slim waist they both smiled as she took a few shots. "Now I know how it will be like when we go to Prom." Arnold said with good humor.
"Yes since this is the first time I've ever had my picture taken in this capacity before." Stepping forward, Helga hugged Stella and Miles. "Happy New Year. Now make him blush." Giggling she stepped away grabbing the camera as both his parents flooded him with hugging him. Taking a picture she looked at the screen. "Perfect." Showing it to all three, Arnold blushed as he kissed them both on the cheek before going over to her.
"Come on my Swan, I can't wait to finally dance with you tonight."
"Good night to you both." Miles waved at them.
Going outside, Arnold lifted her up in his arms enjoying how she giggled as he walked carefully to his truck. Tonight was their first official date. Tonight will be the night he will show his girlfriend off proudly. Tonight will be his first New Years kiss. Never had he did this with any girl from his past. He never felt sad about that, he just knew at midnight he would stand there wishing for his perfect someone to come into his life. He knew she was out there. Knew she would be like no other. His last New Years he told Gerald he will be sharing his first kiss on that night because she was coming his way this year. Amazing how right he was. He knew 100% that she did in the form of his Helga.
Anybody else got a bit of a sweet tooth from the reunion?
