"Hi mommy."

"Hi baby. How was Christmas at daddy's?" I asked, ruffling his hair.

"It's was fun. Bye daddy." Ashton chuckled as Aidan ran off somewhere in the house.

"He's in a rush this morning." Ashton said.

"Kids on Christmas I tell you." I laughed. "What's that on your arm?" I grabbed his hand but he pulled away.

"Nothing. I'll see you in two days then?" I nodded.

"Yeah, see you later." I closed the door and went to the living room. Aidan was sitting on the couch with his tablet. "What are you playing buddy?" I looked at his screen. Full of blocks like grass.

"Minecraft." He squealed and started digging in the ground.

"Minecraft? What's that?" I asked.

"A game mommy. Lots of building and stuff. Daddy plays with me all the time." Kids.

"What did you get for Christmas at daddy's then?" I asked, changing the subject.

"A cube with square colours." Rubric Cube. "Minecraft sword." Typical. "Minecraft creeper animal." Stuff animal I'm guessing. "Batman watch." He showed me his arm. I didn't even notice that.

"Wow, so cool." I looked at it then it lite up. "Very cool."

"Where's Twan? Did he go to store too?" Who else went to the store? Oh, Lilly.

"No, Twan is on his way. He should be here in ten minutes. Did Lilly go to the store?"

"Yeah, daddy said that she went to store. But she miss Christmas presents." Lilly missed Christmas? He wouldn't do that to Ashton. Missing Christmas morning to go to the store. "She never showed up." He voice got jelly.

"Bummer bud. Well when Twan gets here, we are gonna open those gifts and have a big Christmas lunch. How does that sound?"

"Good mommy."

I ruffled his hair and stood up to look through the window. Now since Aidan brung up Lilly never returned home, I'm now worrying about Twan not showing up either.

But I worried for no reason. Twan's car parked in his parking space. Oh thank god.

"Knock knock, I'm here." Twan came flying through the door and had a bunch of bags.

"How many things did you get from the store?" I questioned, curiously.

He set all the bags down on the table. "Aliments for lunch." I'm taking a wild guess that "aliments" means food.

"You have like fifty bags." I over exaggerated.

"Do you wanna survive through winter or no?" I laughed. Now he's over exaggerating.

"Well in that case, we need for bags of food then."

"Yummy aliments." Twan licked his lip with his tongue, but before he could put his tongue back in his mouth, I put my lips onto his and did a tongue trick with his tongue. I you didn't know that the tongue is my favourite body part? Yep.

"What was that for?" He chuckled.

"Christmas kiss." I shrugged.

"That? That was suppose to be a Christmas kiss? Where's the mistletoe?"

"Mistletoe suck." One reason why they suck is I kissed Ashton at least twenty times on Christmas when we were forteen.

"Why do they suck?" Twan wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Because they just do. Uh- my mother would always put one underneath me and every boy I talked to on Christmas when I was between ten and thirteen." I nodded. It was a half lie.

"Really? Wow. My mom never did that, but my sisters on the other hand." He told me the whole sister story and how his other sisters did stuff too, just to annoy him. I was mainly laughing my ass off.

~~~

"Ready Aidan. One, two, three. OPEN!" We cheered.

He gasped. "THANK YOU MOMMY AND TWAN!" He jumped up and down. "THANK YOU THANK YOU!" I laughed at his sillyness.

"You're welcome buddy. You wanna try it out?" He nodded rapidly. "Wait, sorry buddy. You can't try it out."

"Why?" He mumbled.

"Mommy forget it's winter. So it's cold and snowy." How did I forget? I'm dying.

"Silly mommy."

"In the Spring time you can squirt." Twan ruffled his head.

"I get to try my new bike in the Spring!" Aidan repeated over and over.

"Yes you do buddy. And maybe Daddy can help you ride it too. Since it has two wheels now. No more training wheels."

"I'm a big boy. I'm the man of the house." Me and Twan raised an eye brow.

"You are now?" Twan asked him.

"Yes. Now go make lunch." He commanded.

"I'll make lunch after presents. Deal." Aidan protested for a minute but the two "men" shook on it and we all continued opening gifts.

~~~

"Merry Christmas everyone." Twan cheered.

"Merry Christmas." Me and Aidan said in chorus.

"Food now?" Aidan jumped on Twan.

"To the kitchen." They booth flew through the living to the kitchen. Then I heard a pot fall.

I walked into the kitchen chuckling but the boys thought I was mad or something. "It was Twan." Aidan pointed to him.

"Wow, thanks for having my back kid." He whispered.

"Babe, I can explain."

I started at him deeply, then I started laughing hysterically. "I'm not mad." I managed to say.

"Thank god."

"Haha." Aidan snarled.

"Princess darling. I need a favor."

"What kind of favor." I asked all snarky and curious.

"Your sexy when you talk like that." I smirked. Meow. "Anyway, do you know Charlie's boyfriend?"

"Oh yeah, that French guy named Twan. Why? You want me to sugar coat him?" I winked.

"Something like that princess. I want you to make him jealous. Get him furious." Oh this should be fun.

"A party sounds like fun." I purred.

"No, a party is to typical. Try- hm, let's see. How about just a walk in the park?"

"A walk in the park? How lame. Where's the fun in that?" I pouted.

"Bring a dog. Pretend you don't know him. Small talk. And dye you hair."

"Dye my hair you say? I do need a new look. What colour? Blue? Pink?-"

"Red."

"I've always wanted to be a red head. What do you think? Could I pull off being a red?" I posed and duck lipped.

"Princess, you could pull off anything. But there's another catch."

"What the catch. Sex after? Dirty dancing?" I took baby steps closer.

"You need to learn some French, or at least a different language." Hm.

"I'm not much of a Frenchy person. How about I'll be Russian? But sound more like American Russian?"

"Deal, now kiss me." Our lips locked together. "I can't believe how fast you moved on."

~~~

"What would I do without you?" Charlie's hair whipped over my face and I chuckled.

She turned her head in the process. "What would I do without you? She asked back.

"I don't wanna be too cheesy. But I feel like I'm only half of a heart until with you then I feel like a whole." She touched her heart.

"Be as cheesy and corny as you want. I love it." We shared a kiss.

"Today was perfect." Then she frowned. "What's the matter?"

"I think Ashton harms himself." She whispered.

"Do you know why?" She shook her head.

"I have no clue. But Aidan did say something about Lilly never coming home. That something happened." Something I think about Lilly and Ashton. They must have a spark of love left in them for each other- no, don't think like that.

"Do you still love him?" I asked, dreadenly.

"No, I care about him. Only because he's Aidan's father. But the only person I love besides Aidan is you." I smiled, but somehow only believed half of what she said.

"I love you too. Night."

"Night."
