Chapter 9: Family

Jasmine's POV

"Do you wanna build a snowman? ", I sing to Mason and he smiles.

"Come on. Let's go and play. ", he finishes and opens the door.

"I never see you anymore. ", Kimberly sings from behind us and comes out the door.

"Come out the door. ", Damian grins and grabs a hand full of snow, throwing it at Ashton who comes out next.

"It's like you've gone away. ", Logan walks up to us.

"I wish... ", Ashton glares at Damian and ruffles his hair.

"Okay, okay guys. ", Lillie breathes in and out and we all stop and look at her. She suddenly takes out the snow she has been holding in her hands behind her back and throws it at us. We squirm.

"You're gonna get it. ", I say and grab a carrot from the snowman, with an intention to throw it at her. Someone catches my wrist before I throw it, I look behind me to find Lela holding my hand and Logan shaking his head at me next to her.

"What? "

"You don't get to ruin our Olaf. He needs his nose. ", he points out and takes the thing from my hand as Lela lets go of it.

"I'll show her either way. ", I grab the snow and throw it at Lillian who flinches.

"You bitch. ", she gasps and I laugh at her, throwing myself back into the snow.

"You're in a good mood today. ", Logan tells me and grabs a fistful of snow, throwing it at my coat.

I sit up and shake off the snow, grabbing a bit from the ground and throwing it at him.

"Well, it is Christmas today. ", I smile. He pulls me up by my elbow and I whine. "Hey. I was comfortable down there. "

His lips find mines in a tender collide of hurry and passion and I wrap my arms around his neck.

"I love you so much. ", he whispers as his arms circle around my waist, finding a comfortable position.

"I love you, too. ", I breathe into his warm mouth and he pulls me even closer to him.

We both squeal when a cold white substance smashes against our heads, making us pull apart and fall backwards, me on top of him.

"You guys make out too much. ", Kimberly grins from above, obviously proud of the snow covering our neck and faces that she threw at us.

Logan only laughs and throws it back at her, making her squeak. I giggle and lean my cheek to his in-so-many-clothes-wrapped-up chest. Kimberly grabs my feet and starts pulling me away from Logan as I scream. He grabs my wrist and doesn't let her pull me away. They play cat and mouse with me as I plea for them to let me go.

"Guys!! I only have one body that I don't want to be stretched like a monkey after you fighting over me. ", I squirm and release my hand from Logan’s grip and slightly kick at Kimberly to let me go. She does and I fall to the snow in between Logan’s feet. They laugh at me and I glare.

"Unbelievable. ", my hands wrap themselves in Kimmy's oversized pants and pull her down by her ankles. She giggles and crawls up to me, hugging me and making me fall backwards.

"Aw. Look at that. You love my sister more than I do. ", Logan tells me in a mocking tone and I laugh as Kimberly uses her hand to swat him away.

"I'm just glad that you finally found the right woman. ", Kimberly says and my heart leaps.

Why do they love me so much?

Logan’s face flushes and he nods, sending a mysterious look to his sister who smiles.

"Yeah. Me too. ", my guy says and pulls me to his lap.

I kiss his cheek and plant a few gentle kisses to his jaw as he smiles at me.

"Come with me. ", he says and makes both of us stand up. "Kimberly, we'll be back in a second. "

"Okay. Have fun! "

Logan’s hand grips mines as he leads me towards the front door of his mom's house. We've been in her backyard because it is so big and just made for us to play in the snow. Even though we're all about thirty. I'm twenty-nine and so is Logan, well, at least he will be turning it 29th December. In three days! Yay! Lillian is twenty-seven just as Ashton, Lela thirty-two just as Mason and Lucas is thirty-three. Damian is, well, thirty, even though he acts like he's just turned three, Kimberly is thirty-one and... that's pretty much it for our ages.

Logan pulls me through the hallway after we take off our boots and I can't help but feel excited. Impatiently excited. He leads us to the room where we slept last night and opens the door. My hand has been released as he walks to his drawer and takes out a small box. My heart literally pounds in my chest.

Is he...?

He walks up to me with a small smile on his face and opens the box right in front of me. Disappointment takes over my being when I notice it's not a ring. It's beautiful anyway. I don't know why I've become so sensitive about kids and marriage last a few weeks. Maybe it's just my inner self telling me that I'm ready to commit and be a mother? I don't know but I wonder if Logan ever thinks about it. We've been together for four years, our anniversary is in January and I can't help but feel anxious. Is he ever going to propose?

I put on my fakest smile to let him know I like the gift, I truly do but I was honestly hoping for a proposal..

He pulls out a small silver necklace decorated with diamonds and a small heart at the bottom of it. Heart that says R&L. I don't act anymore, I am touched by his thoughtful gift and am gasping because of the beauty of it. The ring completely falls off of my mind.

"It's beautiful, Logan. Oh my. ", I touch the heart with my index finger, making the necklace swing back and forth.

"I had it done a few days ago. You were busy with getting into that job that you haven't even noticed I was taking off three days in a row to make sure everything's okay with the necklace. Merry Christmas? Again? ", he sends me a beautiful bright smile and I can't help but throw myself into his arms and hug him as right as possible.

"Merry Christmas. I love you, I love you, I love you. This is so thoughtful of you. ", I bring my lips to his and place a small kiss on them before pulling away with a smile on my face.

His face holds the same expression. "Let me put it on you. "

I give him the thing and turn around, giving him a view to my back and holding up my hair. He gently puts it around my neck and clasps it on the back of it. I smile down at the heart and L&J on it.

"I got you boxers for Christmas. The same ones as Mason. ", I smirk up at him when I face him again.

"You're lying. ", he pinches my cheek and we both laugh.

"Fine. I got you a bag of candy and a new pair of jeans. "

"You may keep the jeans, the bag is mine. ", he hurries to the living room.

"Hey! ", I rush after him but he's already grabbed his coat.

"Race ya to the backyard. ", he winks and runs to the door, putting on his boots.

I shake my head and roll my eyes, not trying at all because I know I have no chance at winning.
