It was Christmas morning in the Maddison/Rivers household,
Willow and Jennifer were sat in the room they shared looking out at the view of Strathdon,
"So who do you think Nan bought this place from?" Their grandmother on their mother's side had bought the castle from an old couple when she was young,
Because who doesn't want to stay that they own a Castle,
And once she passed, it was handed to 𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍, her oldest daughter.
"I don't want to think about it," Jennifer shook her head not wanting to know about it,
"Psst Willow, Jennifer." James whispered as he stuck his head out the door,
"Yeah, we're both awake mate." Willow let out a laugh as the boy flipped her off,
"Amelia wanted to see if we were all ready to go down," the footballer explained as the girls nodded,
The older women had decided that once she married 𝐉𝐎𝐇𝐍 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍 whenever the kids stayed with them for Christmas the first child awake was on duty to wake up the other three kids,
"Remind me why we spelt in the same room, when there are all of these other rooms?" Jennifer asked with a giggle as they walked down the stairs.
"Because you found your room creepy so you came to mine," Willow responded in a duh tone as the girl let out a scoff,
"That's not true," the model shook her head refusing to admit to it,
"Boo," they were at the bottom of the staircase as the sisters let out a scream,
And so did their mum.
"I really married into the wrong family," John shook his head as the girls let out a scoff,
"If this wasn't my favourite coffee mug I'd hit you on the head with it." Amelia mumbled as she sent her husband a glare,
"The Christmas spirit in this family is lovely." Kelci shook her head as the others let out laughs,
"Come on ya filthy buggers!" John added as the remainder of the kids followed him into the main living room to go to the Christmas tree,
"This would be the best place for hide-n-seek." Willow thought to herself as she shortly joined the rest of the family

There was an hour of time where the family was able to to do whatever they felt like,
"Hi Nonna," Willow used the time to chat to her,
"Bambina!" Nonna smiled as the girl let out a laugh,
"Nonna the phone does not need to be by your ear, hold it in front of your face." The model explained as the older woman gasped,
"Uh that makes sense," the Italian nodded as she placed the camera in front of her,
"Is that Willow?" 𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐍𝐀 𝐉𝐔𝐃𝐄 asked as she grabbed her tea
"Let me say hi!" 𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐀 𝐉𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒 smiled as she joined the other two on the couch,
"Hi you two!" The blonde waved at the three who grinned,
"How is South Africa?" She added as the three girls were on their yearly winter trip to a place that wasn't cold.
"It's great," Nonna sent the girl a pout as she wished that her granddaughter would come with on these trips,
"How is Scotland?" Amoreena asked with a disgusted look on her face,
Her ex husband was a Scot and cheated on her,
So it was understandable that she didn't associate the country with good things.
"And that boyfriend of yours?" Anna added,
Now Anna was the the hopeless romantic in the group,
And had both Willow and Jennifer's weddings planned since they were four,
They were set to have one Winter wedding in the mountains whilst the other got the Summer wedding in Italy.
"Yeah what was his name?" Amoreena was the one who introduced the girls to the good food in life,
Which made her feel better during her divorce,
"Aye Benjamin?" Nonna snapped her fingers as she remembered the name,
"That's it!" Anna nodded as she got up,
"I need food," she added before walking out of the frame.

James and Willow found themselves walk down the same path,
"Is that Willow?" Ben asked as he saw the small girl come into the frame,
"Hiya!" The girl cheered as she jumped in the air,
"Wait I don't want to third wheel this," James let out a groan as she shook his head,
"Shut up," the other two spoke at the same time before turning a bright shade of pink,
"I'll give you this then," the midfielder motioned to his phone,
"See you in the new year mate," he added sending his friend a salute before walking out of the frame,
"Bye James," the defender waved goodbye to his friend before smiling at the girl,
"Hi," He added looking at the girl,
"Merry Christmas," they both spoke at the same time as they turned a light shade of pink,
"Will I see you tomorrow for the game?" The brunette asked hoping that someone would be there,
"Yeah of course, I'm meant to cover it." The blonde spoke in a duh tone as she let out a laugh,
"Well then I look forward to seeing you," Ben smiled feeling excited to know that the girl was going to be there,
It wasn't like she didn't go to every single one of his other games but.
"Bloody hell what's gotten you so formal?" Willow busted out into a fit of giggles as the boy shook his head,
"You are so not funny," the boy bit the inside of his cheek seeing how the girl found it all so amusing.
