When A Stranger Arrives (WayHaught)

Part 6- The Christmas Holidays

It was finally Christmas Eve and Waverly was so excited that her older sister, Wynonna was coming up to visit for the day. She hadn't seen her sister in a while due to her moving away from her home town in California. Her and her sister used to be so close. But she was nervous about telling Wynonna about Nicole as she didn't know that she was gay. This was the only secret she ever kept from her older sister, so she was hoping she was still going to accept her. She had always wanted to make Wynonna proud of her.

She heard the familiar rumble of a truck engine outside her apartment. She looked out of her window to see Wynonna stepping out of her black truck. Nerves started to take over her body as she heard her doorbell ring but she took a deep breath and opened the door. "Hey Baby girl, long time." Wynonna grinned at her sister and Waverly quickly grabbed Wynonna and pulled her into a big, tight hug, taking her older sister by surprise. "Woah there baby girl," she chuckled into the hug, "it's good to see you too." She pulled away from the hug and held Waverly at arms length to have a good look at her. Make sure she looked ok. "So how is this amazing little town with so many possibilities going for you." She smirked sarcastically. Waverly knew Wynonna didn't approve of her moving here. She told her that she is worth more than a dead ended town. Wynonna liked to call Purgatory 'The Ghost Town' as there was nothing here. It was such a quiet, western style town. Not like California.

"I actually love this town Nonna, I have a new job and I have made some new friends. I know you don't like the idea of me living here by myself but I think it's the best move I've ever made and I want you to be happy and support me. You're all I've got." She looked at Wynonna with big hazel eyes. Tears starting to form in the corners.

Wynonna pulled Waverly back into a hug, Waverly resting her head on her older sister's shoulder. "Hey baby girl, don't be getting all emotional on me now. I want to be happy for ya. I want to support ya. But from driving through here, I can see nothing here. It's a dead end. I want you to have everything. You deserve it Waves." Waverly looked up at Wynonna and smiled warmly. "Thanks Sis. I do really love it here though. I'm making something of my life now. I said new life, new start. Now enough of this talk and enjoy our Christmas Eve together."

Waverly showed Wynonna around the town, chatting away to her. Both girls catching up on lost time. She missed her big sister so much. They were really close before Waverly left California to start her new life in Purgatory.
When they got back to Waverly's apartment later on the night, they exchanged Christmas gifts. Waverly had bought her sister a brand new black leather jacket. Wynonna loved her leathers. She practically lived in them.
Wynonna gave Waverly a little gift wrapped box, with a red bow on top. She opened it up to find a photo frame with her favourite photo in it. Her, Wynonna and her Aunty Gus at Waverly's graduation ceremony. It had been the most proud moment of her life.
They both loved their gifts so much. Waverly pulled Wynonna into a big tight hug and kissed her on the cheek.

It was getting late, Waverly knew Wynonna had to leave as she already had plans for Christmas to spend with her husband John Henry Holliday, but most people just called him Doc. Unfortunately, he was away on business today so couldn't make the journey to see Waverly. Waverly also was spending Christmas with Nicole. So she was glad that Wynonna was leaving tonight as she didn't have the courage to tell her she was gay and in a relationship with Nicole.

"Hey baby girl, I'm sorry I've got to leave now. But how about me and John come up and spend New year's Eve and day with you?"

Waverly smiled at her sister, "yes I would love to spend New year with you both. We can go to Shorty's to celebrate" she said a little to excitedly.

Wynonna grinned at the brunette and nodded pulling her in for one last hug before she had to leave to head back home.

They both had a lovely time together, even though it was short. It felt good to see her sister again and be able to catch up. She couldn't wait for new years eve to see her again. But for now, she is more than excited to be going to see Nicole and spending Christmas with her. Their first Christmas together, as a couple.
