HARRY:

'Uncle harry?' he stopped snow fighting for a minute and looks up to see his niece Kacey walking up to him from her grandma's house calling his name.

"Oh, hey, Kacey. He said to her.

'grandma told me to bring this to you, in case you get hungry' she said giving him a Tupperware filled with lasagna.

"Oh, thanks. Lasagna, of course" he said smiling widely looking at the Tupperware.

'Hi, kacey.' Sam said excitedly who were looking at her the moment she walked in on them playing but got embarrassed when he looks himself waving at her with his not so good gloves.

'Hey, Sam. Are you gonna be at the play tryouts tomorrow?' she asked him trying to tame the awkwardness between them.

'yeah, sure. Totally. Yeah' He said without thinking while harry eyed him curiously nodding.

'cool. See you there.' Kacey replied hurriedly and said bye to harry
"Bye kacey". He replied

'Byeee.' Sam said meekly when she turn around to look back and wave while walking.

"so the community centre is doing The Life and Times of Santa Claus this year. Kacey's the Elf Queen. And the kid who's supposed to be the narrator has to go out of town, so they're looking for a replacement, ASAP." harry tells looking at Sam when Kacey was gone.

'Got it.' Sam said looking nervous.

"I can text your parents the info, if you really want to audition? He asked to help him ease.

'Yeah, I do. Thanks. Sam blurts nervously while eyeing Zaneyah who was making weird Kissy faces noisily at him besides harry.

"Ahaha Look at you" harry said laughing and elbowing her playfully.

'Urghh I'm gonna get you.' Sam said and started running after her.

"Okay, you two." harry said laughing and started following them in their house.

DONIYA:

'Anything?' Amir asked her sitting on his suitcase when she entered their room.

"Zileh aunty is in Oklahoma." she said frowning.

'Uh what about Sarwat aunty? ' Amir sighed and asked.

"she said that they're going to her in law's in Michigan tomorrow."she said sadly.

'Yeah we're just so close to Christmas.' he said annoyed with his situation.

"Huh what about Harry? " doniya gasped when she heard noises from downstairs when Harry and children entered the house." He's babysat the kids before and he's thinking of adopting this could be a trial run." she said continuing her point.

'Uh, well you know, we just hired him as the contractor for the nursery. It feels like a lot to ask more than an evening you know, like we're-' Amir said shrugging and not agreeing with the idea.

"Yeah, taking advantage." doniya completed and also agreeing with his point.

"Yeah." they both cringe at their idea and sat on the bed.

'Oh we could ask your brother.' Amir inhales sharply and told her when this idea came to him

"Are you kidding?" doniya asked turning towards him unbelievably. "don't you remember what happened last time?"she said pushing on the word last time more.

Which reminded them of the time when they came back from their office meeting clash last time for which they asked zayn to babysit the kids and the first thing they heard when they entered their home was alarm blaring and fire and when they entered their kitchen in a hurry all they saw was zayn with a fire extinguisher blasting in his hand to end the whooshing flames coming from the frying pan while wheezing,choking and coughing violently and when he sees them all he did was act cool and said ' I'll totally pay for that' smiling and coughing awkwardly afterwards.

'He did pay for it.'Amir said thinking.

"That's not the point!. Zayn doesn't know the first thing about kids. Plus, he'd probably say "no" anyhow. He hasn't visited us since uhh I don't know how long" she tells him sighing irritably.

'Hey, Umm, Zayn's family. He's only a couple of hours away. And, hon? He's kind of our only option.' Amir tries again to convince her to which she thought and nods in agreement at last.
