You bounced around the house, attending to the guests who gathered at you and Axl's home for a Christmas party. Everyone was buzzing with excitement, putting you in the Christmas spirit.
Currently, you stood with Duff and Slash, while Slash was attempting to tell you both a story. Attempting is the key word, seeing as though he had consumed one too many drinks. Duff gave you a knowing look over the brim of his glass making you laugh at his reaction to his rambling best friend.
You turned your head scanning the room for something, or rather someone. Once your eyes caught sight of those fiery locks, you excused yourself from the two of them before going over to talk to him. You found him sitting on the stairs talking to some of the guests passively. You could tell from the look on his face though that his mind was somewhere else. When he caught sight of you approaching, he smiled, making you do the same.
"Hey stranger...where have you been?," he asked as you sat down beside him.
"I could ask you the same thing," you responded, laying your head on his shoulder. You two sat there in a comfortable silence just observing all of the different people who you had invited into your home to celebrate.
As you sat with Axl, you had a lot of thoughts going through your mind. Every time Christmas came around, it made you think back to him telling you about his childhood. Christmas is usually a time that is most memorable to children, but for him, it was a time he sometimes wished he could forget. Nevertheless, he still went out of his way to make it a wonderful time for the children around him. That's why as you lifted your head to find him observing some of the small kids with a smile on his face, you knew you couldn't wait any longer.
"Axl?," you asked, gaining a hum in response from him. He turned his head staring into your eyes. Subconsciously, you placed a hand on your stomach before closing your eyes.
"Babe?," you heard him ask, before you opened your eyes and finally blurted it out.
"I'm pregnant...," you said. His eyes widened before they shot down to your stomach. There wasn't much, but if you stared hard enough, you could see the forming of a small baby bump. He reached out, placing his hands on your stomach softly. A soft smile found its way onto his face before you noticed a stray tear fall from his eye. You wiped it away making him look up at you.
"Merry Christmas...," you said before he engulfed you in a hug, completing the start to a perfect and memorable Christmas.
A/n: This was another fluffy and sweet one, but I actually started laughing as I reread the beginning, thinking about the way Slash rambles on sometimes, lol. Anyways, I hope you liked this one <3
