#208. Four
There should have been six.
Six stockings. Six big presents under the tree--that eventually she'd get. No matter what Erik or the others said, she was having a damn tree. Which would be decorated and loved.
Six places for dinner. Six bedrooms. Six people in this new house.
But there would only be four.
Her, Erik, Toad, and Av. And who knew there might just be two if the boys decided to go somewhere else for the holidays. Which meant maybe just one because Erik didn't celebrate holidays.
But December 25th would be their anniversary. One year since their first date.
Most girls got jewelry for their one year. Was it jewelry? Maybe it was paper? Rogue wondered if she'd get some special assignment instead.
She looked at the presents she'd already purchased. Pyro's and Skid's standing out from the others and tucked them away.
All they were now was four.
