Warnings: Language! Bit of Angst, and a whole lot of festive fluff!

Christmas was always a joyous yet stressful time of the year. Everyone getting excited for the festivities while also making sure they had all the presents etc sorted. You and Chris always loved Christmas as you loved nothing more than sitting in front of the fire under a blanket.

This year was even more exciting because it was Ellie's, your 5 month old daughter, first Christmas. Which in turn also made it even more stressful because you wanted it to be perfect and you'd also agreed to host both your families this year.

As soon as thanksgiving was over Christmas was on your mind. Going out of your way to make you had everything you needed and that nothing would go wrong. You'd planned everything, almost every time you'd come home from the shops you'd bring some new Christmas based item home. Chris had even heard you mumbling about Christmas in your sleep.

Chris too had been getting into the spirit, or at least trying to around his work schedule. While he didn't have any movies to shoot until spring next year, he still had a million things to do like meetings with his management, organising ASP interviews and shooting those. He wanted to get as much of it done before the holidays so he could spend the entire holiday period enjoying himself with his family and not having to worry about a thing.

However with Chris being busy almost all of December it meant that almost everything fell to you to organise. Which while in theory you were okay with, in hindsight it probably wasn't the best idea while also trying to care for a 5 month old.

Chris was out of the house doing a photo shoot and interview when he got pulled aside by his publicist.

"We've been given a heads up about a story by people magazine" she told him quietly.

"Okay, good or bad?" Chris sighs feeling like he already knew the answer.

"Well its all speculative and its just a bad photo that's been taken out of context" she explains making Chris raise a brow in question.

"A photo of who?" Chris asks putting his hands on his hips.

"Of Y/N and her mom out shopping" she tells him passing him her phone which had the photo in question on it.

Chris sighed as he took the phone and looked at the photo. It wasn't as bad as he thought it would be but he could see how the brief snapshot moment could be taken out of context. You and your mom were walking along the sidewalk talking, your mom holding your daughter who's face was thankfully obscured. You were clearly venting something to your mom, gesturing wildly and running your hand through your hair. Chris could see whatever you were talking about was stressing you out and he could tell you were close to tears.

Chris remembered that day and when you got home you didn't seemed stressed. You didn't tell him anything when you got home. So he guessed that you must have felt better after talking it out with your mom but he still expected you to talk to him about it.

The problem was is that the media and everyone else saw this and assumed it meant problems in the marriage. It didn't help that you were wearing gloves so you couldn't see your rings.

Trouble in Paradise Y/N Evans was spotted out on Monday Christmas shopping with her mother and infant daughter.

However it seems that the shopping trip was far from joyful and festive. Y/N was seen to be having an emotional conversation with her mother.
