Street Rats (SanderSides AU)

Merry Christmas

Hey guys this is the last chapter before the epilogue. *Cries* I've really enjoyed writing this story and thank you so much for reading. 

Emile jolted awake as a small body jumped onto his bed. "Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! Papa! Papa! Dad! Papa! Wake up it's Christmas!!!!" Patton and Remus yelled while jumping on both Remy and Emile effectively waking them up. The other boys were waiting giddily next to the bed and Emile sat up "I'm up! Merry Christmas boys" Emile said with a smile. His grin was soon returned by everyone and he put on his glasses before throwing back the covers and stepping out of bed. "Come on lets go wake up Thomas and open some presents!"

The boys cheered and ran into Thomas's room waking him up before tumbling down the stairs and running up to see the tree. Last night the tree had a couple of presents under it but Remy and Emile had put more under the tree overnight. Sure the boys didn't believe in Santa but they wanted to do it any way and surprise the boys. "Ok who is opening their presents first?" Virgil asked. "No one we just open presents chaotically" Remus said bounding over to the tree and looking for a box with his name on it. "WAIT UP BABES!" Remy shouted from the kitchen where he was grabbing his phone. He wanted as many pictures of this as possible. He ran back into the living room to find that the boys had already started separating the presents and handing them to their respective recipient. "Ok open them!" Emile shouted

The boys tore into their presents once by one and Remy video taped and too pictures of it all. His phone storage now filled up with pictures and videos of the smiling boys.

Patton had gotten a cat plushie, cute cat socks, some candy, and a necklace with a heart with glasses on it

Logan had gotten a unicorn plushie(Which he pretended to find immature but actually loved) a book about astronomy, some candy, and a pin with a brain and some glasses on it

Janus got a snake plushie, a black bowler hat, some candy(They gave him extra gummy snakes) and a ring with a 2 headed snake on it

Remus got a octopus plushie, a plastic morning star, candy, and a ring with a sword on it(IDK how to describe Remus's symbol but it's that)

Roman had gotten a Simba plushie(Which he instantly started recreating the Circle of Life with) a plastic katana, candy, and a necklace with a Castile on it(Romans symbol)

Virgil got a cat plushie(They originally were going to get him a spider one but Emile got scared by it when Remy threw it at him so they decided against it) a fidget cube, CANDY, and a bracelet with a storm cloud and lightning bolt on it

Roman and Remus instantly started fighting with their new weapons claiming their stuffed animals were damsels in distress and Remus, the dragon witch, was after them and prince Roman needed to save them. While Patton was playing with Janus and Virgil with their stuffies and Logan started reading. Emile and Remy opened their gifts with Thomas. Emile getting a stich plushie as his old one disappeared, Remy getting a new pair of sunglasses, and Thomas getting a new Steven Universe shirt. Emile kissed Remy on the forehead after opening his gift to thank him. The 6 boys walked up to Emile and Remy.

"So uhh... We made this for you." Janus said playing with his new ring

"And we know it's not much butwewantedtogiveyousomethingtosaythanks" Virgil quickly said(Translation: but we wanted to give you something to say thanks)

"I hope it is adequate" Logan said before Patton handed Remy and Emile a card. 

On the front it said "You are fam-" with a drawing of the 8 of them standing together and when Emile opened the card in rainbow letters it said "ILY" and there was drawings of Christmas presents, rainbows, stars, hearts, and so much more surrounding the three letters.

Emile held the card close to his chest "Thank you! I love it!" he shouted pulling Logan, who was the closest to him, in a hug. The boys looked over when they heard a small sniffle from Remy who was trying to hide his tears. "Papa are you crying?" Virgil asked with a small smirk

"No"

"Awww come on admit you love us" Roman said poking his shoulder

"No"

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee" Patton begged

"Finnneeee. I love you guys" Remy relented pulling the small boys into a hug "Actually we have one more gift for you guys" Emile sat next to Remy holding on to his arm as Remy reached behind the couch and pulled out a piece of paper. He handed it to Logan with a nervous smile on his lips. "Read it" The boys crowded around Logan and he and Janus let out a small gasp. The rest of the boys didn't understand what the papers meant yet. Logan looked up "These... These are..."

"Thats right kiddo. Adoption papers" Emile said as a few tears fell down his cheeks. The boys stood in silence for a few seconds feeling similar tears fall down their faces. They collapsed into their dads crying. "Thank you" 

"Thank you so much"

"Please. Yes."

The boys cried into their dads and Emile and Remy cried with them rubbing their backs and playing with their hair

"Can we take that as a yes to being our sons"

"YES!" They all shouted in unison. Remy laughed wiping his tears off his face. "I love you boys so much"

"We love you too papa"

"Oh and Merry Christmas"

IM CRYING! I've had this planned for so long and I'm so happy. I hope you all liked the book and I will get the epilogue out. Probably today but if not soon.

Have a good day and live to see another
