Forever: A Brallie Christmas One-Shot

A/N: So I decided to do a Christmas one-shot!! Yay! I got some of my ideas from my friend, Izzy (GleekforFosters), so I am giving some credit to her! You all should go follow her! She's awesome! :)

Callie's POV

I wake to Jude jumping on my bed.

"Get up, Callie!" He exclaims excitedly. "Get up!"

I force my eyes open and can't help but crack a smile when I see the huge smile on Jude's face.

I glance at the clock quickly to see it's 6:36am. I groan internally at the earliness, but I quickly dismiss it when I remember how excited Jude is and how this is our first real Christmas in such a long time.

I sit up as he jumps off the bed. I glance over at Mariana and see her starting to stir.

"Did you get moms up?" I ask Jude.

"Yes, they're already downstairs," he replies, yanking my arm and pulling me off the bed.

"Jesus? Brandon?" I ask.

"They're up, too. We're waiting for you and Mariana," he explains. "Now come on."

I see Mariana is sitting up now and slowly leaving the bed.

The three of us make our way down the stairs and sure enough, everyone else is already in the living room. I look at Brandon and he gives me a smile, which I return, my heart melting. I casually go over and sit down next to him.

Just a few months ago, Brandon and I got back together. I don't even really know how it happened. Things with Wyatt started to go south and I just really couldn't do it anymore. And then I started to compare my relationship with Wyatt to the one I had with Brandon and I realized it's Brandon. It's always been Brandon. What I had with him was so much more meaningful and passionate than what I had with Wyatt. And I loved him. I still loved him.

I remember when I told Brandon this and at first, he rejected me. He told me that I had waited too long and he was too broken to come back to me. So I reluctantly let it go and tried to push down my feelings again, without any luck.

But one day, one miraculous day, he came to me and said to me all the things I had dreamt he'd say. He told me he still loved me, too, and from then on, everything has been perfect.

I can't believe we've made it this long, a couple months, without getting caught. I know we are performing flawlessly but I still fear one of us will do one little thing wrong and this will all blow up in our faces.

And I also can't believe that they didn't suspect anything when I told them to not worry so much about my adoption. I told Robert, also, that it was okay to wait on the papers. I feel like he may suspect something, but the others seem completely clueless, thank goodness.

I glance over at Brandon briefly and smile, thinking how lucky I am to have him.

We all get started on opening presents. The moms hand them out and we take turns opening them.

We all get a bunch of small presents, but we each also get one large present. For Jesus, it's a brand new skateboard, the one he's been obsessing over getting for the past month. For Mariana, it's a day at the spa along with a bunch of high-end make-up products. She squeals. She actually squeals. Jude's large gift is a few of the recently-released video games he has wanted. Brandon gets two tickets to a concert of one of his favorite classical pianists.They give me a really nice digital camera and I can hardly contain my excitement.

All of us as siblings got together and pitched in money to get moms a night away at a nice hotel about an hour away to give them some couple time. They love it and look forward to using it soon.
