It was Christmas Eve and Leon Valora packed up his girlfriend and son, dragging them off to a trip to a cabin in the mountains. They had been there for a few hours now and Vincent was sitting on the rug a few feet from Leon, smashing a couple of toy cars together. He was already in his green footie pajamas, his hair damp from the bath he had received not too long before. Vince looked up from his toys and made a face, suddenly bored with the cars. He wanted something else now. "Muma..." he said, crawling away from the toys. That's what he suddenly knew Kristin as. "Muma!" Leon couldn't help but smile and watched as Vince went off in search of Kristin, getting sidetracked for a moment by a shiny nickel. Vince sat on his butt, holding the nickel. The nickel heading for his mouth...
Leon was lying on his side, propped up by his elbow in front of the fire which he had going. He was wearing a pair of jeans, a dark green, long-sleeved t-shirt and his black runners, the sleeves of his shirt pushed up below his elbows. His hair was tousled and he kept rubbing his neck a bit nervously as he waited for Kristin to come back out. He was hoping Kristin would let them open one gift before going to bed, since he had something for her. Behind his back was a box wrapped in shiny red paper with a green bow on it. And inside that box... was another box. And inside that box was another box... Ok, so he looked to fool around and put small gifts in multiple boxes, so what?
What mattered was what was inside the very last box. A small satin ring box. And inside of that was an engagement ring. Vince helped him pick it out. Well, kinda. He had pointed to one and it just happened to be perfect. Leon would have chosen it anyway, but Vince had spotted it first. It was silver with a nicely cut diamond, not too big but not too small either. It was perfect for Kristin. At least he hoped. Leon had his distant hazel eyes on the fire, not noticing as Vincent was about to stick a nickel in his mouth, which was kinda unusual for Leon not to notice this.

Kristin was in the bathroom. She had been very quiet about her period being a couple days late. Since Leon said they were going up to tthe cabin house, Kristin said she'd go to the stroe to pick some things up, a few of those things happened to be a pregnancy test. She was in the bathroom in the cabin, her hand over her mouth staring at the test. It read postitive... all three did. She gulped and decided not to tell Leon just yet. Hell, she didn't know what to do. She needed time to think and then she would tell Leon....
She walked back out of the bathroom just as Vince called her. She went to go see what he was doing when she saw him putting a nickel in his mouth. "Vince..." She said walking over to him and grabbing the nickel. "That's a no-no... we don't put nickels in our mouths." She told him. She put the nickel in her pocket and then handed him a plastic T-rex from his toy bin. "There..." She said and patted him. She walked over to Leon who seemed to be day dreaming. She sighed and sat down next to him. "YOur son just tried to eat a nickel." She siad plainly. Kristin was dressed in a black tight t-shirt, tight jeans and black socks. HEr hair was up in a ponytail...

Leon looked up and then over to Vince. "He did?" he said, shaking his head. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention." He kissed Kristin as she sat down, having no idea what she had just been doing. "Hey hun," he said, giving her a puppy face and then resting his head in her lap. "Could we open at least one present each before going to bed?" He gave her a sweet smile. "Vince is a little overly excited. Opening one present might calm him down a bit... Otherwise he may not sleep tonight..." He looked over at the kid and did a double take as he saw him chewing on T-Rex's head and falling asleep as he sat there. Oh well. Leon just looked back at Kristin, his hazel eyes wide with a pleading look.

Kristin looked over at Vince and she cocked a brow and then crossed her arms, "Yeah... real overly excited. I think if we give him a new toy he might get too excited to play with it." Kristin rolled her eyes. "Unless..." She quickly got up walked into the other room. She came back out a few seconds later with a new blanket that wasn't exactly wrapped. "Ummm... didn't get to wrap this one in time." She smiled. The blanket was soft and comfy and had little puppy faces on it. It was a light blue. "Fine... Vince opened his... I'll put him to bed and then I'll give you yours." She said pickign up Vince and wrapping him in the blanket. She was in the spare room, busy putting Vince to sleep. She watched him doze off and she stared off into space and bit her lip, wondering what the hell she was going to do.....

Leon nodded his head and watched Kristin carry Vince off, a happy smile on his face. "Ok, hurry back babe..." he said, waiting for her. He sighed, lying o his back and waiting, wondering how the hell he was going to do this. He covered his eyes with the back of his hand. He was counting the seconds, nervous. Really nervous. But he knew when he looked at her that he wanted to spend forever with her. Vince loved her too, so that encouraged him even more.

Kristin got Vince snoring in no time and she slowly walked back out of the room, closing the door slowly and quietly. She quick walked into the room she and Leon were staying in and picked out a tiny gift for Leon. She picked out one she had wrapped already and brought it out happily. She had a big smile on her face. She quick sat next to him and passed over her gift, biting her lip....

Leon lifted his head and smiled as she came back out to him. Well, it was now or never. He took the gift from her and sat up, sitting against the couch and pulling her to him to rest against him. He handed her his gift from him, the box about the same size as his head. Or at least, the outer most box was. "Merry Christmas," he said and gave her a charming smile and kissed her on the cheek, ripping his own present open...

Kristin smiled and crawled in next to him as he pulled her. She grasped the box that was handed to her and she cocked a head with interest. She wanted to wait to open hers. "Don't think it's going to be crazy expensive..." She siad with a slight smirk. "I can't afford much..." She smiled happily. She held her box happily and waited...

Leon had his present open in less than a second and held back a laugh. Socks. It struck him as funny for some reason. Though he did need socks. "Its ok babe, I love socks..." he said, kissing her on the cheek. He had only wanted to open a present so that he could giver her the ring anyway. He didn't care what she got for him. He just cared about what she had to say about his gift.

Kristin blushed as he laughed. She smacked him playfully in the arm as he said he loved socks. "Don't be mean!" she joked. She smiled again and she started to open her's, cocking a brow as another box was in there. "Clever..." She laughed. She was distracted and talking to him as she opened box after box, until reaching the last one. She looked at it and cocked a brow. "It takes several mintues just to get out all the boxes Leon, what are you trying t-" She stopped as she opend the box, staring wide-eyed at the ring. Her jaw hung lightly and she froze....

Leon smiled and just watched her open the last box. "Vince picked it out," he said, his face a little red and his body warm from nerves. He scooted closer to her and took the ring from the box. "So, what do you think? Will you marry me?" His throat felt a little dry and tight, wondering what she would say.

Kristin just stared at it, she let him take the box from her hand and she just stared at it and then up at him. She couldn't find her voice and she stuttered at first. "Y-Y-Yes..." She said. Then she stopped and took a breath, "But only if you allow me to adopt Vince as my son." She said breathing alittle shaky....

Satisfied with her answer, Leon slid the ring onto her finger, a slight smile on his face. It had been easier than he though it would be. The ring fit perfectly. Her words made him smile even more. "Anything you want babe..." he said, kissing her on the lips. He was more then happy that she said yes and the fact that she wanted to adopt Vince only made things better. He was already calling her mom, so they might as well just make it final. He pulled Kristin in to him as he kissed her, his arms winding around her.

Kristin smiled at the feeling of the ring. She looked at it and then she hugged Leon, kissing him back. "Wow... you made my gift look even more lousy." She said laughing nuzzling his neck and running her hand down his chest....

Leon laughed and watched her hand as it ran down his chest. "I told you I like socks," he said, smiling. He kissed her neck, his hand resting on her upper thigh. "Look, I'll even put them on now if you want..." He let her go and pulled off his shoes and old sock, throwing them somewhere behind him before pulling on the new ones. He held his foot up for her to see and wiggled his toes and eyebrows. "See?"
