An Unspoken Thing

23

"What's this?" Angie asks as Peter and I walk in with the gifts and cookies.

"It's still Christmas. We figured, why not bring it to you?" I ask and she smiles

"Awe I love you so much." She says and I smile hugging her.

"Baby, this is great." My mom says and I laugh hugging her. Hunter smiles at me continuing to hold Hope and I smile as I sit on the edge of Angie's bed.

"Alright, I say it's time for presents." I say and she grins.

"I agree." She says and I smirk as Peter plays 'Santa', and hands out the gifts. We pass around mom's cookies laughing about our crazy memories and the new ones we've made. Peter wraps his arms around me and I smile holding his hands as we continue laughing and talking.

"Oh my goodness." I say as my mom hands around my baby photos when I'd literally be wrapped up in ribbons and bows.

"Oh mom." I say and she laughs handing it to Peter next.

"This is adorable." He says with a slight chuckle and I roll my eyes. 

"Ah, here's Angie." She says and I laugh staring at the photo of little three year old Angie with her thump in her moth and a bow skirt around her waist. She's got this sassy look on her face too, it's honestly the cutest; most hilarious thing I've ever seen though. Hunter gets a good laugh at this one and I smirk laughing with Angie.

"Alright alright, time for a big family picture." My mom says and I smile as the nurse gladly takes her phone.

"Alright, everyone move in." The nurse says and we all do just that.

"Great." She says and I smile wrapping my arm around Peter. 

"Alright, 1...2...3..." She takes the picture and we all smile.

"Love it! I got like five. Tell me if they look good." She says and my mom inspects.

"Love!" She exclaims and the nurse smiles taking Hope. 

"I guess now is the best time to do this." Hunter says and Peter and I both turn to face him and Angie. He lowers to one knee and I smile as Angie throws her hands over her mouth.

"Angie, I love you so so much. From the very first day we met to this beautiful day today on Christmas Day. I want to have a family, home, and life with you. I want to stay by your side raising our beautiful baby girl. I know you're still young, and I want you to finish college and I want you to have all the world has to offer you, I just hope you'll let me be apart of that. I love you baby. Will you marry me?" He asks and I place my hand on my heart as she nods.

"Of course. Yes." She whispers and he smiles pressing his lips to hers. Peter hugs me to him and I smile as Angie tears up.

"I love you." She whispers and he smiles.

"I love you so much." He says and I smile. Peter takes my hand and pulls me over towards the presents and I smile as he hands me mine.

"You almost forgot this one." He says and I smirk grabbing his from my purse.

"And you almost forgot this one." I say and he smiles as I hand him his gift.

"Open it."

"Together." I say and he laughs nodding. We open our gifts and I laugh.

"No way." I say holding up the exact same gift. We burst out laughing as we stare at our framed first kiss photo. 

"Great minds think alike." He says and I laugh nodding.

"That they do." I say and he smirks giving me a quick kiss. 

"I love you Rosalie." 

"I love you." I say and he smiles as I pull him in for a hug. We join back with my family and continue to laugh and talk. Everything is just amazing and perfect. So much love and joy filling the air. I hold Hope and smile looking down at her. She looks up at me with her bright blue eyes and I hold her hand.

There's something just incredible about this time of year.
