The Ideal Holiday (Bernard x Reader)

Chapter 14. Bye Bye

We finally arrived at mum and Neal's house. Charlie opened the front door I was shaking, I was showing my ears to and how they treated dad when he became Santa. I didn't want them to hate me also!

"Mum? Neal? I'm home!" Charlie called from the door.

In under 5 seconds mum and Neal came running down, hugging Charlie like he was a big fluffy panda bear. Charlie did give the bests hugs though If I'm going to be honest.

"Charlie!"

"Oh my god, Charlie!" she picked him up. "Oh my boy, oh sweetheart."

Neal stood up and let mum do her motherly job. He came up to me.

I begged and I begged myself for him to not notice my ears, but to the biggest shock of my life. Neal, yes Neal, Hugged me! "Neal?" Neal then pulled away.

"I'm so so so so glad your ok." 

I stared at him in confusion. "You are?" I said in utter confusion. Neal chuckled a bit. "Y/N, I don't just care about Charlie you know. I care about you to. And nothing can change that. Unless if you kill someone, which I doubt that." 

"Thank you." I hugged him.

Mum came over to me and gave me a side hug since she was holding Charlie. Neal then let go. Mum looked at me. "Are you ok?" Mum asked.

I smiled. "Yes, I'm fine."

Mum kissed the top of my head.

I looked up at Charlie. "Buddy?"

He nodded. "Yeah?"

"Merry Christmas." I said, passing him a gift, rapped in Christmas rapping paper...with a red bow.

Charlie eyes lit up as he opened it, mum taking the rubbage. "It's a bracelet! Thank you." 

I winked. "Not just any bracelet, I have one! Also it's a gift from Bernard to." I showed him my arm. "But, as I'm now going to live with dad. If that's possible now." I looked at the police outside. "Don't use it in school though. Or outside. Yes?"

"Yes." Charlie smiled.

"Whenever you need someone to talk to, just say 'I wish to speak to Y/N!"

Charlie smiled and looked at me while I put it on for him. Mum and Neal smiling.

"Who gave you yours?" Charlie asked.

"A little someone." I smiled.

Charlie grinned and looked at mum. "Pass me it, please." Charlie said to mum.

Mum passed a rapped up present in (fc) wrapping paper and a (sfc) bow.

Charlie passed me it and I opened it, putting the rubbage on the side. "Charlie! It's gorgeous!" I held a (fc) bow to put in my hair. I then put it in my hair. "Thank you!!"

Mum then stroked my head. And then she got to my ears. Oh no... mum looked at me. "Y/N...what happened to your ears?"

A wave of worry rushed over me. "I-I Uh I- l-let me ex-explain, s-so you s-see."

Dad came over. "Laura, when I became Santa. I don't know about Y/N though. Y/N what happened?"

I facepalmed. "How many times? I fell in love with an elf!"

Mum stared at me. "Excuse me?"

Charlie laughed. "Told you! It was Bernard!"

I took Charlie off mum. "You!" I tickled him and everyone laughed.

Mum and Neal were just speechless after that. "So I have an elf for a daughter?" Mum asked.

I nodded. "I'm afraid so..."
