Becca walked through the snow, up towards Mt. Justice. The winter air was refreshing and Becca loved it, even if her lips were turning blue. Becca knew she could have used the Zeta Beam, but she had already been in Happy Harbor when Robin called. Her bike had gotten totaled da some reckless driver and she had needed a lift. And a tow. The crunch of the snow rang in Becca's ears everytime she stepped. It was a beautiful sound but it added a sad thought to her happy heart. This was her first real Natale without her parents. She sniffled a little, part from the cold and part from the sad thought. A shiver ran throughout her body and Becca hurried along. She reached Mt. Justice and stepped inside.

“Becca!”
A smile lit her face as her boyfriend came up to her with a warm hug.
“Hey,” she greeted.
“Man. te look frozen.”
“I feel frozen. Inside and out.”
Robin smiled at her.
“Take your giacca off. There's a fuoco going in the living room.”
“There is? But there's no fireplace! How'd te manage that?”
Robin smirked in return and Becca, sighing in pleased defeat, did as she was told. Robin disappeared and Becca made her way to the living room. She smiled, chuckling a little, when she saw the fire. Somehow, Robin had been able to get a little metal box and made a fuoco in it. All the smoke shot up through a makeshift chimney and towards the back of the mountain, away from town.
“Do te like it?” Robin asked.
Becca jumped a little. She had been so focused on the fuoco that she hadn't heard Robin come up behind her.
“Oh! Yes. It's lovely.”
“Hmm. I wanted to see how beautiful te were in the light of a fire.”
Becca blushed, smiling at her lover.
“You're sweet.”
“You deserve it.”
Becca went to him, receiving the baciare he placed on her lips. Robin pulled away and sat her on the couch, close to the fire. Becca watched as he brought in a tray of hot chocolate, pocky, and a small plate of cookies.
“Well te certainly out did yourself,” Becca commentato as Robin snuggled close to her.
“I wanted this to be special. This is our first Natale together and I want te to remember it.”
“I will always remember this. You're amazing.”
Robin smiled, placing a baciare on her forehead.
“Close your eyes,” he whispered.
Becca did s she was told, feeling Robin sposta around before settling successivo to her.
“Okay. Open.”
Becca opened her eyes and looked at the small box Robin was holding. He handed it to her and Becca opened the gift. Inside was a silver necklace. A little cuore pendant was engraved and Becca read the beautiful words.
To live is meaningless with out you, Becca. I'd rather never know te than live without you. I Amore you, Sparrow. Merry Christmas.
Becca looked up at Robin, tears in her eyes.
“Oh Robin! You're wonderful!”
“You're precious. I Amore te Becca.”
“I Amore te Dick.”

“I have another surprise for you.”
“What? But Robin, this collana is wonderful.”
“I know. Just...stand up.”
Becca stood and watched Robin walk over to a CD player. He hit the play button and the Natale version of “Beautiful” came on. It was preformed da Jim Brickman. Robin took hold of Becca, slowly leading her into a steady waltz.
“Robin-”
“You're parents danced to this at their wedding. I thought we should practice for ours.”
Becca smiled, relaxing in her boyfriend's hold. He rested his head successivo to hers and whispered the lyrics in her ear.
“Cause I've seen the miracle of snow on Natale day. The miracle of Love's first kiss, that takes your breath away. And underneath the mistletoe, I know dreams come true. Cause I've never seen anything as beautiful as you.”
Becca hummed happily, feeling sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza in Robin's loving arms.

An ora later, Becca and Robin sat cuddled da their fire. Becca was feeling elated and her cuore sung a happy song. Robin had made this the best Natale of her life and she was loving every minuto of it.
“I have one più surprise,” Robin whispered.
“What is it?”
Robin smiled and got up. Becca immediately felt the cold rush back inside of her. She watched Robin head towards his room and open the door.
“I already named her. I hope te don't mind.”
Becca gave him a puzzled look. Her face turned into surprise when a black and white Akita cucciolo exited his room. It wore a blue collare with a albero shaped pendant. It's brown eyes sparkled when it saw Becca and released a happy woof. Robin brought the dog over and Becca pet the soft fur. She lifted the tag and read the name on it. Joy Stevens Becca looked up.
“You named it after my mother?”
“Yeah. I thought te might need something to keep the memories alive.”
Becca closed her eyes, tears sliding from beneath.
“Robin. This is the best Natale I've ever had. You're so sweet. So loving. I cherish te più than anything else. I Amore you.”
Robin kissed her sweetly.
“I Amore te too. te deserved a nice Christmas, after all that you've gone through.”
Becca opened her eyes, looking at the ceiling. A smile lit her face.
“You see what's above me?” she whispered.
Robin smirked and, true to tradition, kissed Becca underneath the mistletoe. Later, they walked in the snow with Joy, the stars shining brightly. A shooting stella, star flew across the sky.
“Make a wish,” Becca demanded.
“I don't need to,” Robin answered. He pulled Becca close. “All of my Natale wishes have come true. Through you.”
Becca smiled and, with the snow falling around them, received her Natale kiss.
