Always & Forever

Chapter 7

Third Person POV

*A few days later*

"Look Uncle Sean is under the mistletoe!" shouted one of Sean's nieces, he wasn't even sure which one because the room quickly filled with ohhh's and ahhh's. 

He looked up and sure enough there was mistletoe hanging above his head on the doorframe. 

"Who put that there?" he asked, not remembering it being there the night before. 

"The elf on the shelf!" the kids shouted together. 

"It's all over. Seeeeee!" added one of the younger ones, spinning around and then running over to Sean who reached down and picked him up, tickling his belly. 

"You're under the mistletoe, that means you have to kiss" another one of his nieces said matter-of-factly with a hand on her hip. 

So he put his nephew back down and looked at Lana with a grin. He began leaning in when he felt her finger push against his lips. "Have you brushed your teeth this morning?" 

"Yes, of course I have" he told her and she nodded, removing her finger with a quiet "You may proceed" 

Everyone was quiet as he placed a gentle kiss on her lips, it was quick but filled with so much love. 

There was a chorus of awe's from his nieces but one nephew said "Ew. That's gross" with a disgusted face. 

He laughed as did Lana and he said "I bet that when you're older you're going to want to kiss"  

He shook his head quickly saying "No I won't. That's sooooo gross" 

He laughed again and laced his fingers with Lana's, heading into the kitchen. 

"Are they going to stand out there all morning just waiting for people to stand under the mistletoe?" Sean asked with a chuckle as they entered. 

"Don't know but they were waiting for you two. You always come down together so they knew they'd catch you under it." 

He hummed with a smile as Lana leaned against him, she rested her head on his shoulder, her head facing into his neck. Her body was turned sideways though and so he rested his hand on her hip.  

"I love you" she whispered, into his neck, he replied with "I love you too" 

"And this is an example of why they were waiting for you two" his brother said with a chuckle. 

Sean rolled his eyes and told Lana he'd get her some water (he knew that's what she wanted) and so she lifted her head, placing a kiss on his lips saying thank you. 

"Hey guys they're kissing again in here! Hurry!" his brother called and he rolled his eyes again as he heard little footsteps running into the kitchen. 

"You goofs go do something else. Them kissing isn't interesting. Trust me." Amada said walking into the kitchen. 

"Ah, so they're always like this then?" his brother asked Amada. 

Amada yawned and then replied "Yup. All the time. I have to live with it." 

"Hey!" Lana and Sean said in unison. 

"I'm just being honest!" She defended, shrugging. 

They all laughed and enjoyed a nice breakfast together.

The adults were all sitting around the fire outside, the kids had gone up to bed already, including Amada and so had his parents.
