Before Becca knew it, another tháng had passed and its near Christmas. Becca heard a knock at the door and went to answer it. She opened the door and saw someone standing there with boxes upon boxes of stuff. "Elizabeth? Is that you?" Becca asked, helping take down some boxes, being careful since she was now 6 weeks pregnant and her stomach started showing. She looked at the person and saw Elizabeth Taylor. "It is you, Elizabeth! It's been so long." "Hey Becca, it's been forever since I saw bạn last, which was when again? Haha." She said. "It's been years, Elizabeth." They got the stuff inside and hugged. "Ooo, what's this?" She noticed Becca's stomach poking out a little. "Is that a baby? Who's is it?" She asked. "Promise not to scream out?" "Promise, Becca. Who's is it?" Becca looked around and didn't see any cameras hoặc anything. She turned to Elizabeth and whispered in her ear. "It's Michael's." Elizabeth was shocked and got a smile on her face. "Well congratulations, Becca. Do bạn know what it is yet?" "Not yet, I'm gonna find out sometime tiếp theo month." "Well, I brought along a little friend. She says she knows you." Becca tilted her head and Elizabeth went to her car to get the little girl and brought her inside. Becca looked down at her. "Katie? Is that you?" She asked. Katie looked up and saw Becca and hugged her legs. She's about 6 years old and she stood up to Becca's thighs. "Becca! I missed bạn at the orphanage." Becca kneeled down and hugged her back. "I've missed you, too, Katie. You're a long ways away from home. How did bạn get here?" "Elizabeth brought me here. She adopted me from the orphanage in London." "Oh, she did?" "Yeah! Anyway...are we decorating hoặc something? I've never had a giáng sinh before." "Yeah, once Michael gets back, we can start decorating." "Yay!" Becca could tell Katie was excited. Her first giáng sinh and she now gets to spend it with them. Once Michael came back and saw Elizabeth, they hugged and they got to decorating.
After decorating the whole house
In the middle of decorating, Katie went to sleep. Becca giggled and took her into the bedroom and let her sleep in the bed. Becca walked out of the room, after kissing Katie's head, and looked at all the decorations. The house looked wonderful, fake snow on the walls, lights on the corners of the ceiling and on the bars, it just looked amazing. The giáng sinh cây was decorated and had fake snow on it as well with lights, ornaments, and a ngôi sao on hàng đầu, đầu trang and presents underneath. 'Wow, this will be the best giáng sinh ever.' She thought. She went into the thư viện and found one that was wrapped, but not under the tree. It was listed to Michael from Elizabeth. Becca picked it up and moved it to the tree. Elizabeth noticed. "Oh, I must have forgotten that one. Thank bạn so much for moving it." She said. "It's no trouble, Elizabeth. Where's your dog?" Becca asked. "She's running around, chasing Michael." Becca giggled. "Figured. Michael still hasn't out-grown his fear of dogs. Especially the small ones." Elizabeth laughed a little bit. "So what did bạn get him? I heard him ask bạn a million times." Elizabeth looked around and whispered in her ear. "I got him a super soaker. Don't tell him. Got it?" Becca nodded. "Got it, Elizabeth." Becca pretended to zip her lips to know that it's a secret. Elizabeth nodded and they walked outside to see Michael in the tree, hiding. Becca shook her head and walked through the snow and to the tree. "Michael, get down from there. You're gonna hurt yourself." Michael shook his head. "I don't want to. Elizabeth's dog is down there. She's waiting for me." He said, looking down, still seeing her dog there, barking at him. "She's not gonna bite you, Michael. I thought bạn out-grew this fear of yours." "I thought so, too, until she barked at me." Becca giggled and Elizabeth grabbed her dog. "Ok, Michael. She surrenders to your power. bạn can come down now." Elizabeth said. Michael was cautious, but came down slowly from the tree. Once he was down, they headed inside, Becca holding his hand, and got some hot ca cao and sat around the ngọn lửa, chữa cháy place, telling stories, just like in Neverland.
The tiếp theo day
Katie woke up and saw that she was in one of the bedrooms. She ran downstairs and knew that một phút that it was giáng sinh morning. She looked under the cây and saw a lot of presents. She smiled. Becca came down with Michael, Elizabeth, Prince, Paris, and Blanket. "Like it, Katie?" Becca asked. Katie turned to her and hugged her. "It's pretty, Becca!" She said. Then they sat down and Becca was the pass out person. "Ok, first one is to...Michael." She handed Michael the present and he opened it. "Yes!" He said, holding up the box that contained a super soaker shooting gallery. He hasn't seen it in so long. Elizabeth smiled at him. "Next one is for...Paris." She handed Paris her present and she opened it. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. "Oh my God! A jewelry maker? Who got me this?" She asked. Becca pointed to herself. Paris smiled and hugged her. "Thank you, Becc- I mean mom." She đã đưa ý kiến and sat down. "Your welcome, Paris. tiếp theo one is for...Katie." She handed Katie her present and she opened it. Becca knew she didn't have much clothes, so she thought it would be a good present for her. Katie saw what was in the bag. It had a red dress with white fluffs on the sleeves and on the bottom of the dress. She also saw a pair of white knee high socks and black dress shoes. Her face was beaming with happiness. "Becca, did bạn get me this?" She asked. "It's from me and Michael. Do bạn like it?" "Yeah! I'm gonna go put it on now!" She ran into the bathroom and changed into the dress and socks and shoes and came back out. Becca turned and saw her and so did everyone else. "Wow, Katie, bạn look pretty." She said. She thanked her and then they continued opening presents.

Everyone had at least a new bài viết of clothing. Michael got a new sweater, Becca got a dress herself and it was purple and silver, Paris got a new áo sơ mi that had Hello Kitty on it written in Japanese, Blanket got a green sweater, Prince got a black sweater, of course Katie got a new dress, and Elizabeth got a skirt.

I wanna hiển thị bạn something. Paris has been bugging me to hiển thị it to you." He đã đưa ý kiến and lifted the door to the wine cellar. She looked back and saw that they were getting the glasses on the bàn (the wine/cider glasses that is). Michael led her down the stairs and she saw darkness. Michael turned the light on and she saw the whole cellar. "Oh wow...Michael, its...beautiful down here. How come bạn haven't shown this to me before?" "Different reasons. One, I thought maybe bạn don't drink wine hoặc cider. Two, I thought you'd think I was weird for having a wine cellar." "Michael..." She turned to Michael. "I do drink wine and cider, and I do not think your weird for having a wine cellar. My mother used to have one, too. I'm used to it." Michael smiled. "Well, which ones should we get?" Becca looked around. "Hm...well, I think we should have cider, because of-" "The kids, yeah." Becca picked out a couple white giống nho, nho ciders and they started heading back up to the dining room. Once they got into the dining room, Michael and Becca started pouring the cider into the cups. Becca raised her glass to everyone. "Ahem. Everyone..." She đã đưa ý kiến and they turned to her. "I'd just like to say that...I'm grateful that we all get to spend time together this day. And knowing that I can be apart of this family is the best present I ever knew. To us!" Everyone raised their glasses and clanked them together. "Let's dig in, guys!" Everyone started getting their thực phẩm proportions and started eating, having a good giáng sinh day.
That night
Becca and Michael đã đưa ý kiến goodbye to Elizabeth and Katie and went into their room. Paris, Prince, and Blanket went into their rooms and went to sleep almost instantly. Becca went under the covers and sat up against the back board of the bed. Michael got under the covers, too, and Becca cuddled up to him. "Best Christmas, Becca?" He asked. Becca looked up at him. "Yeah...well, almost." She said. "Huh?" Becca pointed up. Michael looked up and saw the mistletoe. He smiled and looked down. "Must have been Elizabeth's idea, huh, Becca?" "Yeah. She thought it would be nice to put one in here for us." She smiled. Soon, they leaned in and kissed. It got pretty passionate and since she was already pregnant, they broke the Kiss before it got too far. "Merry Christmas, Becca." "Merry Christmas, Michael." Then they soon went to sleep in each other's arms.
