"Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la." Chris sang as he walked into the living room of the lodge and saw Fallon. "La la la. Fa la la -Fallon." He sang running over to the girl.

The Evan's and Reyes family were spending the Christmas holidays in a lodge up in the mountains. It was something they always did, any holiday, any birthday, they always spent it together.

"I got a Captain America action man." Chris grinned as he skidded on his knees on the wooden floor until he stopped beside Fallon. "Did I tell you yesterday?" He questioned showing the girl, who was happily playing with her barbie dolls.

"You did." She nodded, taking the action man from Chris. "Now I'm going to make him fall in love with my barbie."

Chris' mouth fell open in shock as she girl snatched away his action man and started to make him kiss her barbie.

"No." Chris tried to grab his action man back. "Captain America loves Bucky." Chris snatched the action man away from her grip, as he also grabbed her doll and threw it across the room.

"JAXSON! Chris threw my barbie." Fallon ran up to her brother. The twelve year old boy lifted his younger sister up and placed her on his hip. "He said Captain America doesn't love my barbie, but he does love Bucky." She looked at her brother with a grin. "Can we have your Bucky action man?"

Jax nodded and placed the girl down, allowing her and Chris to run off into the room he was staying in to get his Bucky action man.

"They love each other lots and lots right?" Fallon questioned as she jumped onto the bed and grabbed the Bucky action man.

"Lots and lots and lots." Chris nodded as he held up Captain America. "I want to be Captain America one day."

"You can't be Captain America." Fallon shook her head.

Chris looked at the ground disappointedly. He wanted his friend to support his decision to be Captain America.

"If you were Captain America, then I wouldn't see you and you could get hurt saving the world."

Fallon crossed her arms as she spoke. Her brown hair fell in front of her face but she was too stubborn to move it back behind her ear.

Chris noticed and reached across with a smile before he grabbed Fallon's hand and said,

"You can be Black Widow. And we can save the world together. Forever."

"Don't they have a child together?" Fallon questioned, turning to look at Chris. Chris nodded in response and held up the Bucky action man.

"They call him James." Chris whispered with a smile.

He was a huge fan of the comics, he got a new comic almost every week. He loved to read them and often read them to Fallon.

They'd come home from school with a new comic after one of their parents had picked them up and sit in the living room with a glass of chocolate milk. He often read it to her, but she always got excited and pointed at the pictures.

"Are we going to have a kid?" Fallon questioned in a whisper.

"One day." Chris nodded. "We can name him Captain America." He jumped off the bed excitedly.

"I'm not naming my baby after Captain America. I want to name my baby Barbie." Fallon climbed off the bed and stood in front of Chris.

He was slightly taller than her, so she stood on her tip toes to appear taller. Chris laughed at the girl and stood on his tip toes too, causing her to let out a huff in annoyance.

"Do you want to play outside? We can build a snow man?" Fallon questioned, trying to divert Chris attention from the fact that he was taller than her.

Chris nodded and grabbed Fallon's hand, pulling her outside with him. Neither of them bothered to put on their coats. They just wanted to play in the snow.

Fallon jumped up and down happily as Chris grabbed a hand full of snow and threw it up, so it looked like it was snowing.

"Can we, Chrissy? Can we build a snow man?" Fallon grabbed his hands as a huge grin formed on her face, her eyes sparkling as it did.

Chris nodded and they began to make their snowman. Neither of them saying a word but kept smiling at the other.

Once it was finished they both ran back inside to get their families to come and look at it.

"Papa come and look at the snow man me and Chrissy made." Fallon grabbed her fathers hand and dragged him towards the front door.

"Come on, let's go have a look them." Alejandro chuckled as he allowed the two children to drag him to see the snowman.

The snowman was lopsided and looked as if it was about to fall, but the smiles on their faces were priceless.

"You did a great job kiddos, but now let's get you back inside before you catch a cold." Alejandro ushered the children inside as he saw that the snowman was about to fall over.

He would just have to tell them tomorrow that the snowman must have walked off to be with all the other snow people.

"Did you like it, papa?" Fallon questioned happily.

"Loved it." He smiled down to his daughter.
