Best Friends

Chapter 21

"There's no presents," She finally noticed and frowned.

"Like we said," Luke said taking her into his arms, "We weren't really focused on anything but finding you. We didn't even do anything for Halloween or Thanksgiving. We don't need presents Cupcake, we already have the best one right here in my arms."

"What?" She asked shocked.

"All we wanted was you and we have you, Cupcake," he smiled softly. "We don't need or want anything else, just having you home is the best thing we could ever ask for."

"It helps that Raven killed Scott," Corey smiled. "We do have one for you though Sweetie, it was suppose to be a present before you were taken but now is as good as time as ever for you to have it."

"I have something for you as well," she said softly. "It's not much..."

"Is that what that rainbow box was in your closet?" Gabe asked and she nodded. "Ugh I had the fucking chance to look and I fucking didn't!"

She giggled, "thank you for not looking," she smiled and Gabe went to grab it. He came back and she could tell that didn't open it. "Now I have to stand and walk but I will be very careful I promise. Now it's your time to close your eyes and hold out your non dominant hand please." They closed their eyes and held out their hands. A few moments later they felt her attach something to their wrist. She reached Brandon last and once she attached his gift she lost her strength and grabbed onto him. He grabbed her and slowly shifted them back until the back of his knees hit the couch. He sat down and she carefully got onto his lap. "You can open your eyes now. Thank you Bam Bam."

"Wow," they said as they looked at their black leather braided bracelets that had 15 silver rings attached on it. On each of the silver rings their names were engraved.

"This is fucking perfect Trouble!" Gabe said coming over and hugging her.

"Thank you," She said leaning against Brandon. "I wasn't sure at first and I was originally thinking of some sort of ring but I know some of you don't wear rings so I saw these and thought they would work."

"The day I wear a ring is the day I marry you Baby," North smiled and she looked up at him shocked.

"What? Marry me?" She asked "You're joking."

"I'm promising," he smiled and kissed her forehead. "Now, are you ready for your present?"

She nodded and wrapped her arms around Brandon's neck. "You have to bundle back up because it's outside. Now you can only have a couple of minutes, then back to bed, understood?"

"Yes Sir," she smiled as Sean wrapped Silas' hoodie back on her. They took her to the backyard and she squealed in happiness at the playset in the middle of the yard. They chuckled at her excitement.
"I take it you like it Darling?" Owen asked and she nodded.

"I want to swing Bam Bam," She pouted while her eyes were lit up with excitement.

"Just for a couple of minutes, okay?" he asked and she nodded.

He gently sat her in the seat and she pulled him back down to her face, "Binky Spyro peas," and she smiled at his eyes lighting up in joy.

"Of course Babe," He smiled and she beamed up at him. "Stay right here," he pointed his finer at her and she nodded softly. He went inside and the rest of the team looked at each other in confusion. They smiled when they saw him come back out with her dragon pacifier and Spyro stuffed animal. She made grabby motions and bounced happily in the swing. He handed her the stuff animal and put the binky in her mouth. She hummed in excitement and they each took a turn to push her a couple of times while remaining careful of her IVs.

"Time to go inside, you need to rest, Doll," Axel said as he stopped the swing. She whined and he smiled, "You can play more tomorrow if you are feeling better." She nodded and Silas picked her up.
They went inside and Nathan turned on Dragon Tales. She leaned against Silas and after a couple of episodes she drifted off to sleep.

"Best fucking Christmas ever," Gabe smiled and they all agreed.
