ALL I NEED

Chapter 30.

"Kammmmy." I turn around when I hear Roland's little voice running through the coffee shop.

"Hey bud." He jumps into my arms making me giggle.

"Me and uncle Cally missed you." He whispers in ear.

Calum just shrugged, an innocent look on his face. I shake my head and lean over to peck him on the lips.

"Hey there." He grins.

"Hi babe." I get off in ten minutes, wait for me?" I ask, glad that they showed up so I don't have to walk home alone.

"Of course." He says grabbing Roland's hand, leading him over to an empty booth.

I finish up the rest of my work, which wasn't much, just had to stock the rest of the decaf coffee beans and I was done. Before I clock out I pour a black coffee and a hot chocolate for my favorite boys.

"Extra marshmallows and all." I grin as I hand Roland his drink.

"Yay, my favorite." He cheers adorably.

"I know, and for you just a black coffee." I scrunch my nose in disgust.

"My favorite." He laughs.

"I know you guys pretty well." I smirk as we all head out of the shop.

I sigh as I take in the light sunny weather. I love Australia, I really do, and normally I would be happy about it being warm but its December 23rd. In New York it would be snowing by now. I'm used to the cold wind and fluffy white snow covering everything. It just didn't feel like Christmas time without it. Calum notices my frown and nudges me.

"What's the matter, Love?" A concerned look playing upon his face.

"This is gonna be my first Christmas without snow, and I know that sounds dumb but it just doesn't feel like Christmas without it.'" I tell him sadly.

"I'm sorry. I promise i'll try and make it better." He smiles.

"I know, just sucks, but on the bright side I get to spend it with you guys and that makes me very happy."

"You're gonna spend Christmas with us?" Roland cuts in excitedly.

"Yep." I giggle at him.

"Were gonna bake cookies and sing songs and open presents and it gonna be so much fun." He rambles until he's out of breathe.

"Calm down, Ro." Calum laughs at the little boy.

We make our way back to their place, Mali, Gabby and Luke there already. I wonder if my package has arrived yet. I had to order Calum's gift online so I was praying that it would get here in time. By the looks of it though, that wasn't gonna happen.

"Hey, you guys are right on time. Were just about to decorate the Christmas tree. " Mali says with a huge smile.

"Can we watch Elf please please please, mommy?" Roland jumps up and down.

"Yes, of course." She laughs putting the DVD into the player.

After Luke and Calum manage to untangle all the lights and string them on the tree, we all take turns putting on the ornaments. One by one it all came together. Everything looked beautiful when we finished.

I cuddle up on the couch next to Cal while the others go in the kitchen to bake cookies. Time like this, just laying here with him, surrounded by our family and friends, everything feels right in the world. I look back on my life and I can't ever remember being this happy. Not content or decent, but completely, genuinely happy.

"What are you thinking about? Calum kisses my forehead.

"Just how happy I am." I bury my face into his chest, taking in the sweet smell of his cologne.

"Every moment with you, I'm happy."

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter but I wanted to give you guys a little something. If I don't update by Christmas, I hope you guys all have a great holiday! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever it is you celebrate. Love you all! Xoxo -San!
