2 Days Before Christmas

Bianca's P.O.V

Xander's family was throwing a Christmas Party tonight. I was allowed to go while Frank was picking up our other brother and his family. Even though I wanted to stay, Olive and Frank insisted I go.

"Nervous?" Xander asked.

"Yes."

"You met them before."

"But not as your girlfriend. This is a bit nerve wracking," I told him.

"You'll be fine. Trust me," Xander said kissing my head.

We went to the living room where Bella was watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I sat next to her as she smiled up at me.

"Do you like this movie?" She asked.

"Of course I do," I smiled down at her.

"I cannot fit into anything," Mrs. Edwards complained as she waddled in.

"You still look amazing darling," Mr. Edwards told her.

"Lies! Due date was a few days ago," Mrs. Edwards told him.

"Relax mom. You'll be fine," Xander told her.

"Uh huh. Anyone hungry?" Mrs. Edwards asked.

"I'm fine. Thank you though," I told her.

The doorbell ring making Bella get up. Her and Mr. Edwards went to the door to answer it. Xander pulled me into his lap and lied his head onto my back.

"Xander, I want to look presentable," I told him.

"Who cares."

"I do."

I saw his grandparents walk in making me get up.

"Bianca!" Xander whined a little.

"Hello, Pam. It's nice to see you again," I told her. He gave me a hug as I hugged back.

"Hello, Bianca. This is Xander's grandpa, Jay. Honey, this is Xander's girlfriend," Pam said.

"Nice to meet you sir," I said, offering a handshake.

"Hello, Bianca. Xander, this is a nice woman you have here," Xander's grandpa commented. I blushed a little as I saw his uncle walk in.

"Hello Xander, and Xander's friend," His uncle said.

"Uncle Walter, you remember Bianca," Xander said.

"Ah Yes. You attended Beck's party," Walter said, hacking my hand.

"Yes."

"She's my girlfriend," Xander said, wrapping an arm around me.

"Did I hear girlfriend?" We looked over to see his Aunt with her husband and kid.

"Aunt Lacey, you remember my girlfriend, Bianca," Xander said.

"Hello, Bianca. I remember you from the party," She smiled.

"Hey kid," Xander said, picking up his younger cousin.

"This is my husband, Thomas," Lacey introduced me.

"Hello, sir. I'm Bianca," I said, offering a handshake.

"Nice to meet you, Bianca," Thomas smiled as he shook my hand.

Xander walked over to me and wrapped an arm around me. I did the same before we walked over to the couch. I sat down and Xander sat next to me. I leaned against him as he held my hand.

"So, how long have you two been dating?" Walter asked us.

"Five months," I told him.

"Feels longer than that," Xander told me.

"It does," I agreed.

"Aw how cute," Lacey said.

"What do you plan to do for a living, Bianca? If you don't mind me asking," Thomas asked me.

"I plan on being a doctor," I told them.

"Any specific kind of doctor?" Xander's grandpa asked.

"Still looking into that," I told him.

"Alright. We don't want to scare her away," Mr. Edwards told us.

"Dinner!" Mrs. Edwards announced.

We went to the dining room where the food was prepared. I sat next to Xander and Bella in the table. We started to grab some food as we all talked. 

"So Bianca, what schools have you applied to for college?" Walter asked.

"I've applied to UCLA and to UC Berkeley," I tell him.

"Those are top schools. You're not going out of state?" He asked me.

"I prefer to stay close to my family," I told him.

"We hope for the best for you and Xander though. Going to college is a huge step in your life," Lacey said.

"It is. You make a lot of memories there," Pam said.

"How's the baby, Aria?" Jay asked her.

"They're good," Mrs. Edwards smiled.

After the dinner, I sat with Xander as we were watching some Christmas movie with Bella and his baby cousin. Xander had his cousin on his lap as we watched the movie.

"Bianca, can I give you something?" Bella asked me.

"Of course sweetie," I smiled. She ran over and gave me a drawing she had made. It was a cute drawing of me and Xander making me blush.

"This is so cute," I told her. 

"Thank you," Bella grinned.

"What is it?" Xander asked me. I showed him causing him to blush as well. 

"Isn't that cute?" I asked him.

"Yeah," Xander said. 

Once it was getting late, I bid my goodbyes to everyone. Xander was waiting for me by the hallway arch.

"Xander, Bianca. Stop right there," Mrs. Edwards said. 

"Why?" Xander asked confused. 

"Look up," Lacey smiled. 

We both looked up to see mistletoe. I blushed a little before looking at Xander. He cupped my cheeks before leaning in to give me a small, tendering kiss. When he pulled away, I hid my face into his chest as everyone awed or chuckled.

"You guys are so adorable," Lacey said. 

"Thanks Aunt Lacey," Xander smiled.

"Goodbye everyone," I waved before Xander walked me out. 

"I enjoyed tonight," I told him.

"Really?" He asked.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"I'll see you tomorrow night for your family's Christmas dinner?" He asked me.

"Of course," I said before giving him one more kiss.

"I love you," Xander told me.

"I love you too," I told him.
