Lover's Pentagon

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Kathrine's POV

"I swear if I hear Mariah Carey one more time, I think my ears will bleed," Finn said as he put an ornament on the Christmas tree. All of us chuckled in response. I love Christmas! The lights, the food, the joy! Who wouldn't love Christmas? I the oven timer go off. "Cookies are done!" I said as I got up from where I sat and ran over to the oven.

I carefully removed the cookies from the oven and placed them on a cooling rack. Damian came up behind me and took a cookie off the sheet. He broke it in half and shoved one half in his mouth. The other he put in front of me so I could eat it. The warmth of the cookie combined with the melted chocolate made my heart beam.

Damian left a chocolatey kiss on my cheek and trekked back over to our partners. I looked at our almost-done tree. It was snowing in New York which helped set the vibe. The light sound of Christmas music played in the background. I started making hot chocolate while the others finished the tree.

As I finished the hot chocolate, I heard someone's phone ringing. I didn't notice it until Rhea told me it was my phone. I grabbed it and saw it was an unknown number. I wasn't going to answer it but something told me to.

"Hello?" I said into the phone. "Hey, Vicky Kat," the voice on the other end responded. I knew that voice. It's a voice I haven't heard in years. "Damon?" I questioned. "Hey there baby sis! Long time no talk. You uh... you got a minute?" My eldest brother Damon asked. I looked at my partners who were looking at me with confusion. "Uh yeah sure, give me a sec," I pulled the phone away from my ear and placed it against my chest. "It's my older brother Damon, he wants to talk and it kinda sounds important," "Go talk to him mi amor. We'll finish the tree," Dominik said.

I walked into the master bedroom. I put the phone on speaker. "Hey, can you hear me?" "Yeah I can," "So... what's up? Why are you calling?" "I... we wanted to apologize," "We?" "Hey there baby sis," I heard my other older brother James say. "We wanted to apologize for what happened. We shouldn't have sided with Mom and Dad. What we should've done was support your dream! We just didn't want to see our little sister get hurt," "But you guys hurt me by taking Mom and Dad's side and not talking to me until now," "I know. We fucked up but we want to make things right! We miss our little sister and we want to be there for her."

I didn't know what to think. I missed my brothers but they hurt me just as much as our parents did. "I know you probably don't trust us but please Kathrine, we want to make amends," I took a deep breath in before speaking. "I'm gonna need to think about it and talk to my...," Shit! How am I going to tell them that I'm in a poly relationship? "Talk to who?" Damon asked.

"My uh... my best friends. They'll help me make the right decision," "Oh are you talking about the Judgment Day?" James asked. "Yeah! They kinda became my family since I felt like I didn't have one," "Well, take your time. My new number is the one I'm calling you from. I'll text you James's number so you'll have his as well," Damon stated. "We gotta get going though. Mom's making us grab the decorations from the attic and storage," "You guys have fun with that," I said while chuckling. "Yeah, we sure will! We love you Kathy Vic," "I uh... I love you guys too, bye"

I hung up the phone and took a deep breath in. Did that just really happen? I never thought I would speak to my brothers again but I just did! And they apologized. I need to talk to my partners about this before I call them back.

I walked back out into the living room. They were putting on the last few ornaments on the tree. Rhea saw me before the others. "Hey! How'd it go?" she asked. "Uh well, they apologized and they said they miss me," "Huh, interesting," said Dominik. "When I walked past to check for more ornament boxes, I heard you say best friends. Were you talking about us?." Damian asked. "Yeah. I wanted to say partners but I don't know how my brothers would take it. Especially over the phone," "Tell them when you think the time is right, love. And if they ditch you again, then they're intolerant assholes that don't deserve your love," I blushed at Finn's remarks.

"And, whatever you decide to do, we'll be right by your side the whole time," she said before sitting next to me and kissing my cheek. "Thanks, guys! I'll text Damon and see when they're able to call again," "So wait, you said you had 2 brothers. One of them is named Damon. What about the other?" asked Dominik. "My other brother is named James. Damon is the older one. He's 4 years older than me while James is 2 years older," I responded. "Well, I'm excited to meet them, if and when we do," Damian stated.

A few hours later, I got a text back from Damon saying that James and he could Facetime. I sat on one end of my couch while my partners sat around me so they could listen in. I was so nervous, I was shaking. "Hey, baby sis!" James said with excitement. "Hey, guys. So I made my decision. I wanna go back to how things were with us. I miss you guys and the last 5 years without you guys have been hard," "Same here Katty, all of us have missed you," Damon exclaimed. "Can I ask you something?" James asked. "Yeah sure," "If mom and dad apologized like we did, would they be forgiven?"

I took a minute to think. I missed my parents but it would take me a while to trust them again. "If they apologized, I would forgive them but they would have to earn my trust back," My brothers didn't say anything but the phone was moving. The next thing I know, I'm face to face with my parents. I didn't know what to say. "Hey mom, hey dad," was all I was able to mutter out. I could see my mom was crying. "Oh my beautiful baby, we're so sorry for everything that happened. We just wanted you to be sure you were making the right decision and we went about it the wrong way," my mom said through her tears. "We'll always support whatever you want to do!" my dad added

I couldn't believe it! My family and I just made up! "We have a question for you sweetie," my mom asked. "Yeah, what's up?" "Would you maybe want to spend Christmas with us this year?" "Oh Mom I would love to but the day after Christmas is when WWE starts our holiday tour in New York so flying across the country wouldn't be the greatest. Plus the Judgment Day and I are celebrating together in New York," "Do you think we could come to you guys then? We would love to meet them!" my mom questioned.

I looked over at my partners. They didn't seem to mind my family joining us. "Yeah, sure! Sounds like fun!" "Ok well, we have to go over to grandma's. She's making the boys decorate for her," "Ha, and let me guess you two are gonna gossip like normal?" I asked my mom. "With a wine glass in hand yes!" "Ok well let me know what day you guys are coming. Love you!" "We love you too sweetie!" I hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"So Christmas with your family! I'm excited!" Rhea stated. "Yeah! My family loves Christmas," "Yeah we can tell," said Finn while pointing around at the fully decorated penthouse. "Btw don't be surprised if they get you presents. They love giving gifts. One time for my birthday, I swear I counted over 100 presents," "Well I can't wait," said Dominik. "So to bring this up, when do you think would be the right time to tell your family about us?" asked Damian.

"I don't know. Although we should tell my brothers first then my parents. My brothers are more open-minded so it would be best to start with them. But uh Dom, Dam, Finn, be prepared to get the brotherly protective stares and possible threats," "What about me?" Rhea asked. "I think they'll be too scared to say something to you. Plus what are they gonna do, try to fight Rhea Ripley?" "They'll lose before the fight even starts," Rhea responded. We all laughed at the thought. "Christmas here we come!" 

A/N: Ooo Kathrine made up with her family and now they're spending Christmas together! I wonder what will happen? As always, I hope you enjoyed and I'll talk to y'all in chapter 32!!!!
