I feel rough, what the hell did I do last night? My head was banging, when I moved my hand to my hair, I felt someone move on my chest as I looked down, I saw Martina laying on my chest, I kissed her head for her to wake up.

Martina: *Whispers* Merry Christmas.

Jorge: *Whispers* Merry Christmas, my love.

Martina kissed me and I was about to kiss back until I could hear running footsteps down the stairs, Ethan ran on to my lap while Joshua was still in a mood with me and Martina, while Olga came down with Maria and Ruggero and Candelaria's daughter with them behind them and Ramallo.

Olga: Oh, well, Santa's been and I think he fell asleep on the sofa.

Joshua: *Saw the Vodka bottle in the kitchen* Or he got drunk.

Jorge: Joshua, I'm not going to tell you again.

Martina: Your dad isn't Santa.

Ruggero: Oof, you look rough, dude. *Hands him the cup of coffee*

Jorge: I feel it, thanks. *Takes the cup off him*

Martina: So, what do you say we unwrap our presents?

Everybody opened their presents as I drank some of my coffee, Ethan sat on my lap making me put the cup down on the floor as I pulled him up on my lap, I kissed his head.

Martina: What did you get, Joshua?

Joshua: As you care, you're not my mom.

Jorge: Joshua, I'm not going to tell you again.

Ethan: Why is Joshua saying that?

Jorge: Shh, it's okay just ignore him.

Ethan: So, Martina, what did daddy get you for Christmas?

Olga: Yeah, what did he get you?

Martina: *Looks at Jorge: He got me an engagement ring.

Olga: Oh, my, really?

Jorge: I asked her to marry me.

Ethan: Are you replacing mom?

Joshua: Of course, she is.

Ethan: But...

Jorge: Look, Martina is never going to be replacing your mom.

Joshua: Of course, because you're going to start telling us what to do right? Are you doing this on purpose?

Ethan: Daddy, why is Joshua getting upset?

Joshua: I wish mom was here.

Olga: Oh, Jorge, you have a letter, why don't I get Ethan and Joshua ready before getting dinner ready.

They all went to get changed, while Martina stayed with me while I read the letter, but I thought I would read It alone.

Martina: What is it?

Jorge: Nothing for you to worry about, how about you go have a shower because you are smelly.

Martina: Oh, I'm smelly, you want to smell your breath.

Jorge: Go on, I'll be up soon.

Martina went upstairs after kissing my lips, I read the letter which said there was a new year party, and I didn't think I wanted to know whether I wanted to go or not, as I put the letter in the bin as I went upstairs as I heard Joshua screaming at Olga and Ethan was playing with Candelaria and Ruggero as I walked into my room where I didn't see Martina as she was still in the shower.
