Lindo's p.o.v

I can't sleep. I want cuddles, and I want them now!!! I got up from my comfy bed and glared at the bright clock. Like wow could it be any brighter? Hm, 2:34 AM. I'm sure Gertrude won't mind if I intrude. I sneaked into her room and gently laid down. Ooooh~ I'm getting cuddles.

Gertrude's p.o.v

I felt the bed sink next to me, which woke me up. I was honestly a tad scared about what was behind me, but it woke me up!!!!! I turned over quickly and glared at the sleeping Lindo. "I'm going to kill you" I sighed as I softly shook him awake. "Hmm, oh. Hello, darling~" he hummed. Well isn't this pleasant, I'm awake for one minute and I already have someone creeping on me. "What are you doing?" I grumbled. "Oh, I just came to get cuddles from my girlfriend" he giggled as he pulled me closer. "By the way, you look hot" he chuckled as he stared to gently kiss my cheek down to my neck. I think he's drunk, even though he made it clear that he hates alcohol. So he must be sick. A loud knock came to the front door, which made me jump. It's snowing outside. Like really hard. The news said that everyone must stay inside, I wonder who's out there. I jumped out of bed and raced downstairs with Lindo right behind me. Along with Jonathan and J.B. "who's there?" I yelled, as J.B and I turned human. "I'm only 11 please let me in!!!" She cried. I quickly opened the door and Jonathan fell face first onto the ground, J.B cried out, and Lindo let out a long, sad sigh. "Cloud!!!! What are you doing here!!!!! How did you even get here!!!!!" Jonathan ranted on and on and on. "Oh mom gave me permission to come" she stuck her tongue out at him and ran to J.B. "hey, you know you love me!!! Wanna put makeup on?!?!? Yeah let's go!!!!" She exclaimed as she pulled J.B to the couch. "Who's that?" I asked, cocking my head to the side like a puppy. "My sister, siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh" Jonathan groaned. "Yeah dude. Remember two years ago when she put glue in your cereal?" Lindo chuckled. They started to talk back and forth about memories, which kinda made me feel left out. I simply shrugged and closed the door. Welp, might as well go visit my brothers. Hehe, they're probably waiting up on me. I ran to the dungeon and sat by my brothers and sighed. "Heh Bentley remember that flour fight we had and then Sam you took it away, remember? That happened b-before.......bef-fore.........*sniff*" I looked down at the ground before looking back at my brother's. "I know you're not really gone. You're both waiting for me to pass on, then we'll be reunited again. I just know it" I mumbled as I laid in between them.

~Memory~

"Sam hurry up" Bentley yelled as we raced up the hill. "Yeah, yeah. I'mma coming, you guys are just going to fast" Sam chuckled. "No you're just old" I yelled. He stuck his tongue out at me and laughed, "23 is not old". "Yes it is, right Ben?" I looked to him for back up. He smiled and nodded his head. "That's right big sister. He's old", he hugged me. I was 17 which made Bentley 15. We were like a happy family. Except master William. He grumbled about everything, what a grump. "Hey once grumpy old William dies, We'll go get a house and start our own life, deal?" I looked at the boys with excitement. "Deal!!!" They said in Union.

Memory over.

I felt someone pick me up, so I slightly opened my eyes. It was hard to make out the face so I passed it off as Lindo putting me to bed. Once the person laid me on my bed they softly kissed my forehead followed by another kiss. But it seemed like there were two different people. I finally opened my eyes to see Sam and Bentley standing by my door. "Hey big sister" Ben smiled softly. "Lil' sis just know that we are waiting for you. And we love you. See you when you pass on." Sam waved as they both disappeared. I smiled softly as I slowly fell back to sleep.

I felt something fall on my stomach, followed by in getting up and falling again. "Hey get up old woman!!" I heard a little girl shout. I opened my eyes and glared at the little monster as I sat up. "Cloud what are you doing?" I spat. A wicked smirk inched up her face as she crawled off the bed. "Big brother Jon told me to come get you and that bone head" she pointed to a sleeping Lindo. "Sigh, We'll be down in a little", I sighed. She smiled and ran downstairs yelling, "the plan is in action". By this point I seriously don't care about their 'plans'. I glanced over at Lindo he had really messy hair. I went to touch him so we could get this day started, but instead he grabbed my arm and pulled me down onto him. "We gotta get up" I huffed. He snaked his arms around me and grumbled. "Fine" he sighed as we let me go and stood up. "But the news says to dress warmly" he informed as he strolled out of my room. I sighed and got ready for the day.

I walked downstairs to see Jonathan and J.B cuddled on the couch, cloud laying under the coffee table, and Lindo standing at the door.  Now that I get a good look at cloud she's adorable. evil but adorable.

Lindo's p.o.v

I watched as Gertrude walked down the stairs. I wonder if she ever celebrated Christmas before. Oh well, let's get this day started. "Come on guys Gertrude's ready" I shouted. "Geez shut up. You have a high pitched voice" cloud spat. I glared at her before grabbing Gertrude's hand and walking over to the van. I hopped in the driver seat and Gertrude got in the passenger seat. The others got in the back and we drove off. Christmas shopping here I come.

Christmas day

Gertrude's p.o.v

I woke up to Lindo kissing my forehead, he was looking into my eyes and holding my hand. "Bout time you get up" he smirked. I stuck my tongue out at him and got up. "Hey Meany it's Christmas!! Let's celebrate" he cheered. I sighed and kissed him. "I love you" I mumbled by his ear. "I love you too" he whispered as he intertwined our fingers. He leaned back in and started to kiss me more roughly. I pulled away for air and looked at him in surprise. "Oh geez. I'm sorry, I just love you so much" he chuckled. I shook my head and hugged him. "It's alright silly, but let's go get Christmas started" I giggled. He nodded and hopped up. "CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!" He screamed as he ran down the stairs. I followed right behind him, laughing. J.B and Jonathan had the table full of Christmas goodies and cloud was decorating the tree. Lindo went straight to cloud and I watched as they laughed and talked. That was a very heart warming sight. The door bell rang and I walked up to it and sighed. "Who could it be?" I called through the door. "Ms. Monsley. We hope you'll let us give you our gratitude" "We brought cookies!!!!!!" Two voices called from the other side. "Monsley?" Lindo smirk. "At least my last name isn't de la Cruz. Like seriously that's to long" I spat. He glared at me and mumbled "It will be one day". I blushed and opened the door. "Hey Gertrude. I'm Barbara and this is my sister molly. You, uh, helped our grandpa last month. We wanted to thank you, by giving you these cookies" Barbara said. She seemed around my age and molly looked around cloud's age. "They're peanut butter cookies!!!" Molly exclaimed. "Oh, wow. Thanks guys!!!! Would you like to join us?" I exclaimed. Barbara's eyes light up, but molly shook her head at her big brother. "Grandpa says we have to get back" she informed. Barbara sighed and waved before grabbing Molly's hand. "See you later" she called over his shoulder. "Bye!!!!!" I yelled over the rushing snow storm. They seem nice, I hope to see them again.
