36 - Holiday Surprises

Start from the beginning
                                    

"You sure?" He asked as the bell rang again.

"Positive."

He ran upstairs and changed as I opened the door for whom I'm assuming is his family. And it turns out I was right. Aaliyah hugged me as soon as she saw me. She wore a dress similar to mine except it was in maroon. Karen came in after her and engulfed me in a hug as well and so did Manny. I gathered the gifts from them and arranged it under the tree.

After around ten minutes since they arrived, my family finally got here as well. My parents both gave me a tight hug as they got in as well as my uncle and aunt. My brother ruffled my hair, getting a slap at the back of his head from me. My two male cousins engulfed me in a huge bear hug while their younger sister and the eldest's wife gave me a brief one. Little y/niece/n opened her arms towards me, asking me to carry her. I took her into my arms and made faces, making her erupt in a fit of giggles.

"Hey guys. Merry Christmas!" Shawn greeted once he came down the stairs wearing a red button down and black jeans.

"Uh, Shawn, these are my cousins that live here in Canada, Chuck, Nikki, Charles, and his wife, Tania. I would introduce you to my other cousins but they're all in (your state/country). Oh, and this is my niece, y/n/n." I said, introducing him to everyone.

My cousins gave him a quick handshake before we made our way to the dining area. This is the second time Shawn outdid himself today. The table was neatly organized and the food isn't burnt. We all ate, telling stories here and there, and just having fun. I carried y/n/n and brought her to the living room once it was time to open the presents.

"You'll definitely be a good mom someday." Shawn whispered into my ear.

"And you're gonna be a great dad." I said, smiling up at him.

"Y/n, Shawn, hurry up!" Y/b/n teased.

"Sheesh! Chill!"

Charles took a stool from the kitchen and put in beside the tree as he pretended to be "Santa Claus" for the night. Once he was done, we opened all of our gifts. Wrappers thrown around on the floor as we thanked each other for what we received. Shawn stood up abruptly, bringing me with him.

"Shawn, what's wrong?" I asked once I was able to stand up correctly.

"I have a dare for you. Somewhere in the tree, there is one ornament that happens to be different from the others. It's not the same color. I dare you to find it." He said, smirking at me.

I rolled my eyes and went around the Christmas tree, trying to look for what he meant until something silver caught my eye. I took the ball off  tree and handed over to him. He took it from me before kneeling down on one knee and opening it.

"Y/n, we all know how much you mean to me. You, of all people, know that I'm not the one to make long cheesy speeches but for you, I'll make an exception. Without you, I honestly don't know what I would do. You're the only one who makes me feel like this. I love every single thing about you and it makes you as perfect as you are. So right now, I'm kneeling before you, scared and nervous as hell to ask you one question. Y/full/n, will you marry me?"

I nodded my head as tears escaped my eyes. He smiled and slipped the ring onto my finger before standing up. I wrapped my arms around him as he pressed his lips onto mine.

"I love you." I whispered against his lips.

"I love you too."
