Santa Who?

Andy Doesn't Know Santa

Ana
It is Christmas a bad time for me, but I am just going to make it good for my Andy. But when we went to see Santa she had no idea who he was at all. I explain, but she's three going on thirty. She's looking at Santa with fear in her eyes. I get her safely away from Santa. I decide to find out why when she's calmer. I ask Grace how did her parents get taken?
Grace
Omg Santa, I forgot to tell you, it was a guy in a Santa Claus outfit that picked her up from the babysitters house. It traumatized her, so she thinks Santa is taking her away again. It was so long ago I forgot about it. By the way Regina said mommie dearest is pregnant.
Ana
Are you kidding me? Holy crap I will be 25 years older than my new sibling. Who the hell got that close to get her pregnant? Omg I feel so old. Andy wants to say hi Grace.
Andy
Hi Gwace me got you a pwesent. Bye
Ana
Andy hung up Grace. I bet Regina has an idea on how to handle this. No telling what she knows about Carla.
Grace
I think her guys are far better than Christians are. Did you know that Elena has been human trafficking since she moved here? She has always been a pedophile. I missed it because I blew her off because she rubbed me the wrong way then tried to rub Carrick another way. Oh get this Elliott newest girlfriend followed Christian into the men's room hoping to have sex with him at his club. She was promptly escorted out by Taylor. She propositioned Taylor saying if he would get a sperm donation from Christian she would make sure he got half of anything she would be paid. Christian got a restraining restraining order as fast as the courts opened up. His date just laughed about it all and said he should have had sex with the girl. Let's just say Christian didn't appreciate the joke. My boys are going to be single forever. I hope they don't end up with someone like Carla.
Ana
Me too. I hope the father take those kids from her. Or she gives them up for adoption. I would adopt them myself if I thought she wouldn't try to weasel her way back into my life.
Grace
Hey we need to get everyone together for huge dinner on New Years Eve how about it are you in? The kids can come, oh wait the safe house is ready isn't it? That would be a great place to party at and New Year's Eve. We have some good things to celebrate don't we?
Ana
Sounds good to me. Let's start planning it. Andy misses the twins. I hired a new COO for SIP. She's shaking it up. Kate Kavanagh. Elliott is helping dad on his hiring a COO for Steele Solutions. I hear Richard divorced Elena finally.
Grace
Yes he is and the women are waiting in line to date him. Take it from me their are women who tried to take him from Elena. The man was faithful until he found out about her cheating and then he had discrete affairs. He had one steady lady. I do mean lady. He decided to divorce and he called her after it became final. They are dating now. Her name will be Lynn Lincoln if they marry. I suspect they will. They have been together since shortly after the Carrick situation. So let's get together for lunch and plan things
New Years Eve
We have enough space to have all the family and certain friends at the party. Grace, Regina, Ingrid, Mia, Kate and I arranged everything we took all the keys from everyone and hired valets to park the cars. Child care was arranged as well no Santa's welcome here. Everyone has been told about Andy and her fear of Santa.
Andy
So many people so much face squeezing and body hugging. And the kisses yikes. Then there are those who don't hug. I think I will hang out with them. So many names and faces I can't remember them all.
Ray
I watch as Andy comes and sits by me, she's all hugged out. I lift her up and sit her on my lap so she can watch from a better position. She smiles and says tank u grandpa. She leans back and looks at everyone and says grandpa why is the tall guy always looking at mommy? I look and it's Christian and she's right he can't stop watching Ana and then I see Elliott getting beaned in the head by his date for looking at Kate. Kate brought a co worker with her and he is making the rounds. Andy is asleep so Ingrid and I put her in her bed and we find our room close to hers. She's such a doll as Ingrid and I watch her cuddle with her book and her bear. She is a double of Ana, it blows my mind. We turn her monitor on and  head to our room. We turn on the tv to watch the ball drop and kiss and fall asleep in one another's arms.
Ana
Dad and Ingrid are heading to bed carrying a sleeping Andy. Kate comes up and hugs me a bit tipsy.
Kate
She's adorable Ana are you sure she isn't related to you?
Ana
I don't know and not sure I want to know now that the adoption is final. But she's a sweetheart isn't she?
Kate
Very much so. Grace was the one who set it up?
Grace
Yes I did, it was a perfect fit do you think?
Kate
I think so. So are you in the matchmaking of adults and children in need of one another? Have any in mind for me lol.
Grace
I think we might if you want to let me know and we can introduce you to a child.
