Christmas dreams

Trying

Mia POV

I walk to Chris's old room and knock, I hear a faint come in and as I open the door I see Minika looking pretty upset. I sit down next to her and smile "are you okay?"
She shakes her head "not really. I didn't know we would be spending the whole night here. He didn't tell me until we were here and I just....."
"Feel a little tricked?"
"Yeah I guess...."
"Chris is a family guy, things like Christmas, birthdays....he will always want to be here"

"I can understand that. I'm just not used to it. My family were never big on this stuff"
"Mine either. When I spent my first Christmas with the Evans I was shocked at how much I had missed on all these years"
She nods "I know they don't like me"
"It's not that.....it's they don't know you. Maybe today is a chance for you to show them who you are really"
"I'm a little overdressed" she looks down at her dress and I smile "a little. But we can fix that"

I get up and hold my hand out to her, taking her to Chris's suitcase. I grab some sweat pants and a hoodie. A Christmas one of course.
"Change into these, wipe your make up off and put your hair in a pony"
She smiles and walks into the bathroom. After a few moments she comes out and look like an everyday girl.
"Much better. Don't get me wrong you looked beautiful but now you can be beautiful and comfortable"

She laughs "right. Come on. We have a cupcake decorating competition to win"
"Competition?"
"Yep. How's your decorating skills?"
"Pretty good"
"Okay, your on mine and Lucas team. We've won every year so gotta do it again"
"Okay"
I link my elbow with hers and drag her from the room, when we walk into the kitchen, chris looks over and smiles.
"Minika is on my team"
"What? You have my girlfriend and my son?"

"Yep. You snooze you loose Evans"
"Yeah Evans" Luca shouts out and we can't help but laugh.
"Okay, let's get ready"
We all set everything up and wait for Lisa to say go. We basically have 6 cupcakes we have 2 minutes to decorate. She shouts go and we all start. It's such a fun thing to do, usually I have my sister too but Minika is a good replacement. I look over and I see her laughing with Luca. I look at chris and he has the biggest smile. Which makes me so happy.

"Okay stop"
We all place our tools down and Lisa inspects our work. She moves slowly looking at everything .
"Okay. The winner is........."
We all wait and wait "MIAs team!!!!"
We all jump around and High 5 each other and Luca even hugs Minika.
"Yea!!!!! In your faces Evans's!!!!"
I see Chris walking over to me, I stand firmly and start to laugh "what's wrong Evans? Can't take loosing"

He laughs and then all of sudden I have a cupcake pushed into my face. Icing is everywhere.
"Omg!!! You did not just do that"
"Oh I did"
"Right. Luca. Minika. Arm yourselfs"
They pick up there cupcakes and I have mine, chris starts to back up "no come on. That's not fair. 3 on 1"
"Should of thought about that Evans. Get him"

Minika and Luca run towards him, they manage to knock him to the floor and they starts attacking him with icing. I stay back, they need this. Chris looks so happy and I really am happy for him. And Minika looks so much more relax now, even Scott and Lisa are laughing at them.
I walk back to the kitchen and start tidying up, I see Carly come and start helping.
"You okay?"
"Yeah. Just......."
"Hard seeing that?"
"Kind of. Wish I had someone special to share moments like that with I guess"
"Didn't meet anyone on your tour?"

"I met one guy, he was nice. But I don't see it working out. He lives in England"
"You'll find the right one Mia. Your beautiful and caring and sweet the right man is out there"
"Let's hope so"
We continue to clean and get everything put away, Luca comes running in and gives me a big hug. Which really makes me smile.
"That was fun"
"I bet. You better go get cleaned up munchkin"
"Okay"
He runs off and I feel too arms wrap around me from behind.

"Thank you"
I smile "your welcome"
He walks off and cleans himself up too. I loved this family. They really mean the world to me.
