The next morning,three happy Littles ran down the stairs. Duke followed them, trying to hide his smile.

While the Fox followed. He was excited as Bunny and Pup tipped up their stockings. Only for their faces to fall.

Bunny’s eyes filled with tears and soon they dripped down her face. “We’re on the n-naughty list!”

“What did we do? What did we do?”

Sunny gaped at them both before turning her desperate look at Duke. “Fix this, Daddy! Fix this!”

While Duke just stared at the Fox in shock.

Panic filled him. “You’re not on the naughty list! Read the note!”

Brody pulled a note out of the stocking, reading it. Autumn was too busy staring at the lump of coal sadly.

“Tutu, it says we need to put them in glasses of water,” Brody said.

They all moved to the kitchen, where Sunny helped them get glasses and filled them with water.

The lumps of coal quickly dissolved and Bunny and Pup reached into their glasses.

One of them pulled out a titanium ring in black with an image of a fox on the inside. The other drew out a classic gold ring with a huge solitaire diamond and the same fox engraved on the back.

They stared at him, and for once, he was at a loss for words. Then he looked at Sunny, who smiled at him brightly.

He cleared his throat. “Both of you are going to marry me.”

They threw themselves at him, shouting, yes!

Autumn hugged and kissed him hotly, before spinning away to show Sunny her ring. Brody’s kiss was longer and he grinned at the Fox before he turned away so Sunny could hug him too.

“I don’t know why you both said yes; I wasn’t actually asking.”

Why they all burst into laughter, he had no idea. But the Fox smiled.

Because in this room was his family. They were happy, they were safe, they were loved.

And he still had that gift in the garage . . . the one with a horn . . .
