I open my eyes and look at the clock. It's only 6:45 a.m. "Rocky.. babe, come on. Let's go upstairs." I whisper and shake him.

He stands up and drags his feet upstairs. He lays down and curls into the blankets. We fall asleep once again. ~~ I wake up to Rocky showering me with kisses. "Merry Christmas, beautiful." He whispers when he notices I'm awake.

I smile and sloppily wrap my arms around his neck. "Merry Christmas, baby." I whisper. I lean up and kiss him softly.

He smiles against my lips. "Mommy!" Luke yells and runs into the room. Hazel crawls in behind him.

Rocky and I giggle and pick them up, placing them on the bed. "Santa came last night." Rocky says.

The kids' faces light up. "Did he bring me a hockey stick?!" Luke asks.

"Momma, Dolly's?" Hazel asks.

I shrug. "Let's go open presents!" I exclaim and carry Hazel down the stairs. I sit her on the ground and hand her a present. Rocky and Luke sit on the ground and I hand Luke a present.

The kids open their presents, happily. I hand Rocky a small box. He opens it and pulls out mistletoe. He smirks and dangles it over my head. He leans over and kisses me roughly. I pull back and smile. "Imma use it all night long." He smirks evilly.

I roll my eyes and clean up the wrapping paper. Rocky takes out the garbage for me. He comes back in with a small box in his pocket. He smiles and we go to get ready to go to Stormie's.

At dinner, Rocky excuses himself to the bathroom. When he comes back, he asks for me to get my purse. I did as I was asked and when I came back, he was on one knee.

"Taliya, I've loved you for 6 straight years and I think it's time that I ask you the most important question of our lives." He smiles as I cover my mouth. "Will you marry me?" He asks quietly.

I drop my purse and nod. "Yes!" I exclaim and jump into his arms.

He sighs in relief and slides the ring onto my finger. I cup his cheeks and he grabs my hips. We share a passionate kiss. Everyone claps, causing us to pull apart. "I thought you were going to say no." He says as we sit down.

I shake my head. "No, i would never." I say with a shaky breath.

I feel myself begin to shake. Rocky laces our fingers together and looks at our hands. "Babe, calm down." He whispers.

I look down and shrug. "I can't." I say quietly.

After a few minutes, I finally stop shaking. I have no idea what just happened. What the fuck is going on with me?
