THE FORGOTTEN SMILE

Christmas makes everything better

***

P.O.V Maddie

'good morning pretty lady' Dylan puts a hairpiece behind my ear

'good morning Santa' it's Christmas morning

'it's time for presents' he kisses my forehead

'yay' I open my eyes and smile at Dylan.

'come on' he grabs my hands and pulls me up so that I'm sitting.

'I'm excited, I haven't celebrated Christmas since my dad passed' I smile

'I know' he walks to my closet and throws my Christmas sweater at me

'what are you caring this morning' I put on the sweater over my pajama

'I just love Christmas' he sits down next to me

'I love you' I give him a kiss and smile against his lips

'I love you more'

'hey love birds, come down stairs' Marc yells from down stairs

'come on' Dylan stands up and so do I. we then walk down stairs.

'merry Christmas little girl' Marc smiles when I sit down next to him

'Merry Christmas' I smile back

'good morning sweetie' Nina kisses my head and I smile

'merry Christmas'

'can we now open the presents' Dylan whines

'no, first break fast young man' Nina gives us all a plate with waffles

'it's fantastic as always Nina' I say while I stuff my face

'yup' Dylan agrees with me

After breakfast we sit around the Christmas tree and start to open the presents.

'Maddie can go first' Marc says and I grab a package with my name on it.

'oh thank you' I say when I open the box and I see white all stars

'you like them' Nina asks

'I love them' I give her a hug and she gets the next package.

'oh I know who got me this' Nina says when she shows us that she got a toaster

'Marc?' marc knots and gives her a kiss. I swear this family, I can't handle the cuteness.

After a while Dylan grabs a present. My present for him.

'ah I get it' he smiles when he looks at the phone case. It's a phone case with 2 cheesecakes and 2 coffee's

'thank you' he gives me a kiss

'no thanks' I smile and I then grab another present. This one is a little box and when I open it I see that it is a ring. It has leaved over it with jewels.

'who got me this' I ask when I try it on

'me' Dylan smiles

'oh I love it' I give him a hug

'look inside' he says, I look inside the ring. It says '18-10-18' which is the date that Dylan asked me to be his girlfriend.

'oh that's very cute' I give him another kiss.

'let me see' Nina says and I stick out my hand

'well sweetie, Dylan definitely has taste' Dylan knots

'that's why Mads is my girlfriend' I chuckle at his comment

'fucking cheeseball'

'hey language!' Nina warns me

'but it is true though' Marc says

'hey your supposed to help me with these sorts of stuff' Nina pushes marcs shoulder

'what, Dylan is very cheesy' he defends himself

'that's true' Nina chuckles

'well thank you, I love you too' Dylan says sarcastically

'we love you to son' Marcs smiles the same as Dylan which makes them look even more alike

We unpack all the other packages and then we start talking.

'sweeties, I have one other surprise' Nina says after a while

'oh no' Dylan puts his hand on his heart

'drama queen' I scoff making Marc laugh

'well for the surprise you need to go out of the door and there will be your surprise' Nina says with narrowed eyes

'okay' Dylan says unsure of the situation

'I swear if you are going to scare me I'm going to kill you' I warn Nina and Marc

'we are not going to scare you' Marc laughs

'what is it' Dylan asks when he opens the front door

'surprise!' Sadie yells

'Sadie' I pull her in a hug

'hey little nuggets' e greets me and Dylan

'but don't you have like Christmas at your collage' I ask

'yes, but I'd rather be with my family then with them' she smiles

'that's sweet' I give her another hug

'I missed you' I say because I haven't seen her since the family weekend and that is like a month ago. It's crazy how much she is like a sister to me, first I really didn't like her because I had to go to the doctor because she said so. But now, I am very thankful and I really love her like a big sister.

'I missed you too little nugget'
