Rowan (TOG Character) Modern AU x OC {} <Part Two>

Rowan's POV

A Year And A Bit Later

I sit up in Levana's bed and rubbed my eyes. I push off the sheets and pull on my boxer's and pyjama pants Levana made me wear.

"I want to set a good example for Nikolai. I don't want him to feel weirded out." Levana had said. I almost chuckled at her now, but I seen how peaceful she was sleeping.

I open the door to Nikolai's room and see the child still sleeping. I open the spare room and grab bags upon bags of Christmas gifts. I carefully walk down the stairs and down into our living room.

Levana had moved out of Rhiannon's house a year ago and we bought this one together. I was surprised she let me, I guess she was doubly surprised I stuck around.

I divided the gifts up. Putting Nikolai's in the middle under the tree, Levana's to the right and mine to the left.

I stacked them all up and whatever couldn't be stacked, I laid next to the piles. I stood up and stretched proud of myself.

I walk into the kitchen and began making cereal for myself. Nikolai and Levana weren't exactly early morning breakfast people, so I knew they wouldn't demand a buffet of breakfast.

I heard light feet carefully treading down the stairs and Nikolai's head of hair pokes through the archway. "Row, can you get me cereal?" He yawned and I smiled fiddling with his already messed up hair.

"Sure kiddo." I pour some "Rice Krispies" into a bowl with some milk and he began eating. I stood up leaning against the counter and he glared at me.

"Sit." He whispers carefully pushing the chair out from beside him. "Let's talk." We had this "talk" before, Levana's birthday, we both woke up before her and he wanted breakfast.

He wanted to know what I got her, if I was going to be around next year. I told the kid the truth. Probably not, maybe I will, I won't decide that. I love your sister. That satisfied him.

I sat and he shoved a mountainous amount of cereal into his mouth. He took a bit chewing and swallowing slowly to think.

"What did you get her?" He asked and I smiled.

"A ring." His brows shot up.

"Only one thing." He muttered mostly to himself.

"One expensive thing." I add and he makes a face putting one and two together.

"I got her me. I give her me every year." He said nibbling his lip. "I make a card and it's like a treasure hunt and I'm where 'x' is. Don't be offended if I'm her favourite gift." I chuckled lowly at that and nodded.

"Are you going to be around next year Rowan?" He asked hopeful. I was sure the boy loved me more than his sister.

"And every year after that." I whispered and he smiled.

"I never knew my dad, or my mom. All four of them," He gave me a stone cold look. "I love Levana, she has never once given up on me. You are ten times bigger than me but I swear I will hurt you." He stood up and brought his bowl to the sink.

"She's my only family. You both are my only family." He looked to me as he gripped the counter. "Don't ruin that." He whimpered and wiped his tears. I awkwardly lick my lips and clasp my hands together.

"Wanna go wake sis?" I say happily and he smiles at the subject change. Levana had put on warm pyjama's early this morning complaining about the cold and fell back asleep.

We quietly walked up the stairs and entered the room Nikolai jumped on the bed and started bouncing around Levana.

A grin spread over her sleepy face as she grabbed his ankles and dragged him down and cuddled him. "Merry Christmas you little imp!" She cried kissing his face all over.

"Save some for me." I whined playfully as they both stuck their tongues out at me. I chuckled and Levana lets go of Nikolai and stands up picking up her phone.

A large grin spread on her face and she jumped down all ten stairs. I gave a yell and sighed in relief when Dorian caught her. If he had walked through the door a second later. She would be broken.

Shattered like a vase. Nik sighs as well and runs downstairs smiling as he hugged Chaol.

"Gift time!" Levana cried. "In this house we go person by person and one person records each person opening their gifts." She went into a closet and pulled out two large sacks, filled about the same as our gifts and stacked them under the tree like I had done.

Dorian smiled and Chaol went into the kitchen. He'd be making the turkey. He took it out of the fridge and began to work. I heard the oven beep a few minutes later and he came back taking off his oven mitts.

"Nik goes first I think." Dorian winked at the boy and the two men placed presents near his, then mine, then Levana's and next to each other.

Nikolai sat down in the middle and Levana took out her phone to record him. He tore open into his gifts. He had gotten a few "Nerf" things, gift cards. Pokèmon shit and general nine year old things.

Dorian went next, he mostly got clothes, gift cards, a phone case and a video game. Chaol went after him, Levana and I, as a gag gift got him a bunch of baking stuff since Yrene, his wife, who was currently away, loved to bake, he hated it and preferred to cook. He opened our other gift and smiled. "That's more expensive than my gifts!" Dorian whined.

"It's a Crockpot Dorian." Levana laughed. "He'll feed you out of it that should be gift enough." He made a face but stopped his whining knowing she was right.

Then, our other gift for Chaol walked through the door. His eyes lit up and a sob broke through his lips. He stood up and embraced his wife. She was a doctor and went on one of those missionary things for Christmas.

He let go of Yrene and scooped Levana up in his arms squeezing her tight to the point where she gasped for air. "Thank you." He whispered and she smiled.

"V should be next!" Dorian smirked at me and I gave him a glare.

"I can go darling." She shook her head.

"No, you go last." Something in her eyes went out. She handed me her phone and her eyes lit up again.

"Open mine last." I say, she would of course since it was the biggest one. But, in reality it was the smallest. We had agreed to not go all out for each other and get one or two gifts for each other.

She opened Dorian's first. She smiled as she put on her hat and smiled. "I love it!" It was a soft pastel lilac purple and the pompom was a grey.

Chaol's was next, she opened the card and pulled out a gift card for a store in the mall. What one, I didn't know. It sounded lady like so I probably didn't go in there.

She reached for Nikolai's card and he slowly slipped away. She smiled broadly and stood up. She led me around the house recording her. She opened the pantry and Nikolai smiled up at her. She picked him up smiling.

"Oh, I love you!" She cried giving him a noogie.

He whined and she let him go walking back into the living room. She sat down and began opening my gift.

She grabbed my large box and opened it only to find another wrapped box. "Did you give me a Russian Doll?" She asked brows raised as she opened the other box only to find another box.

A few boxes later she gets to the final wrapped box. She sighs in relief and opens it. She paused shortly as her fingers brushed over the velvet of the box. She looked up at me and down to the box.

"Are you going to open it?" I ask softly handing Dorian her phone. I kneel beside her and she goes to open her mouth. I take both of her hands in mine and she drops the box. I pull my hands from hers and slowly open the navy blue box.

"Rowan." She sobbed as she seen the ring. Dorian muttered a shit and Yrene gasped and clapped slightly. Nikolai's eyes widened slightly and hopeful as he looked at his sister. He kept mouthing 'please say yes, please say yes'.

She locked eyes with me again and embraced me kissing my cheeks, then my nose then lips. With a sobby laugh she nodded.

"Will you marry me?" I ask and she whimpers kissing me again.

"Yes." Nikolai gave a cheer, our friends after him. Levana knelt beside me as I reached for her gift. "No." She whispered and my hands moved on.

I got a few clothes, a few gift cards and a scarf.

"I got you two." Levana began laughing slightly. "The scarf looked hot on the model so.." I gave a chuckle and reach for the one I first went for. Nikolai grabbed my hand and put a card into it.

"It was under the tree." He whispered and sat down.

'Merry Christmas' was written on the front but on the inside it was blank besides a messy scrawl.

"To: Rowan" it read. "From:" was scratched out. "Love: Nikolai" I smiled. "Thanks for staying." Was written there.

I beam and wiped a tear in my shoulder and put the card with the others on the mantle.

I pick up Levana's other gift and begin to open it.

It wasn't very large, just a tiny stork in its beak a cloth, two presents nestled in it. One blue, one pink.

No one else could see from where I sat but Levana. "You're joking right?" I whisper fighting the tears that threatened to come.

"No." She whispered back smiling, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm not." She fell in to my arms and I held her as I let out a happy sob.

"Why are they crying?" Nikolai whined. "What's going on! I wanna see! I wanna know!"

Yrene carefully stepped over wrapping making sure no one's gift got stepped on and picked up the box Levana had given to me.

She gasped and put a hand over her mouth and let out a squeal rushing back over to Dorian and Chaol.

They looked between Levana, the box, and me, then back to Levana.

"What's going on around here!?" Nikolai yelled and Levana got off my lap sitting down beside me. She pulled her little brother into her lap and cuddled into him laying her chin on his shoulder.

She began to whisper in his ear and slowly, but surely, a large grin spread over his face. It suddenly dropped. I looked at Levana worry plastered on her face.

"Do I have to share my room?" He asked. Levana let out a sigh of relief as we all began to laugh.

"Merry Christmas Vana." He murmured kissing her cheek. She kissed his back and hugged him.

"Merry Christmas Nikolai."
