~Toby's POV~

I awoke at 2 AM. I heard Elizabeth crying in the other room. I rolled over to look at Sadie, she was fast asleep. She looked so beautiful when she slept. Her long eyelashes, curly, over ridiculous, and out of control hair.

"Toby?"

I rolled to face my door. Elizabeth was standing there rubbing her eyes. Her hair looked like a blonde version of Sadie's.

"What's wrong Beth?"

"I had a bad dream, which means a bad Christmas."

"What love?"

Elizabeth teetered over to me and put her head on my chest. I pushed her head up so I could get up and go to the living room with her.

"Sadie used to tell me, that when you had a nightmare on Christmas Eve, your Christmas would go bad."

"That's not true silly. It's going to go great tomorrow."

"Really?" Her sapphire blue eyes shone like she was told the worlds biggest secret. "How?"

I debated it for a moment. Did I really want to tell her?

"Okay Elizabeth, you must not tell Sadie this. Don't even speak about it in front of her."

Elizabeth's eyes widened and she nodded her head furiously. I nodded once and went over into my coat, pulling out the box.

"Woah!" Elizabeth shouted. I put my index finger to her lips.

"This is Sadie's gift."

The ring still looked as beautiful as I remembered it. The gold braid band, looking like rapunzel's hair in pure gold. The bright, shining Emerald. It was going to go perfect.

"That's pretty. What's it for?"

"I'm asking her to marry me."

"Woah.. That's a big step mister."

I laughed silently and Elizabeth giggled.

"And where did you hear that from?"

"When Ryan, my older brother, asked my sister's friend Delaney in marriage."

"Who said it though?"

"Who do you think?"

Sadie.. Elizabeth also got her sarcasm. I put the ring back into my coat and went to Elizabeth, who was yawning.

"Do you feel better now?"

"Yeah.. I can't wait to wake up in 6 hours."

"At 8 AM? You know Sadie will murder you?"

"Yeah.. But at least I'll get gifts before she does."

I laughed and picked up Elizabeth, putting her in her room. I tucked her in and kissed her forehead. When I turned to leave the room, Elizabeth called to me.

"Toby."

"Yes?"

"I love you and I can't wait for you to be my brother."

I smiled, putting a hand to my chest.

"And I can't wait for you to be my sister."

I closed her door halfway and walked to my bedroom. Christmas morning, oh I can't wait for you to come.

~Sadie's POV~

I awoke to the smell of Cinnamon and pancakes. I sat up and looked at the alarm clock.
