The Dunhams (Sequel to Better or Bad - Lizzy Walker)

Dream Christmas Tree

(Up top is their tree)

In the Rover our security were driving, me and Bryce sat in the backseat. I shifted myself comfortably. He took my hand where my finger held my wedding ring and kissed it softly. My cheeks burned crazily. "We've arrived." James told us. He parked where we saw a Big Lot's super market. I smiled excitingly. "Yes!" I whispered. Bryce smiled and kissed my hand twice. "Let's grab our ornaments." He spoke. They opened the doors and we got out. Apparently, two or three paps were snapping pictures from a far. Our hands intertwined as we carefully walked on the street with them guarding our move. We entered the market and looked around astonishingly. It was quite Christmas-themed. Now, the ornament aisle. We walked around in search for the ornaments. Even though some people were recording us or practically gushing about our appearance. Our security blocked a few camera phones but sometimes it felt a little violating. Bryce squeezed my hand cheerily. "I think I found it!" He cheered. I laughed and linked my arm around his. "Take me to it!" I giggled. Gosh it is so cute Christmas brings the childlikeness out of him. We managed to find the ornament aisle especially the trees. These things with different colors were absolute pretty. Blue-gold, purple-white, yellow-red, green-pink. "I think we should try new colors. Not always red and green or red and gold." I told him. He nodded in agreement. "Uh huh. Different colors are much better." He agreed. We took our time and looked around the boxes of different-colored ornaments. It'd be quite easier if our kids found them. They're seriously creative from what we've seen.

Our bulb-search took a few minutes and James had to contact the store manager to keep people from making a crowd. I'd want our tree to be beautiful than before so guess it makes me feel pressured to making it perfect. Making things perfect. Bryce exhaled a breath. "Ok. So far my choices are the blue-white, purple-gold and—my brain clicked. Oh my god! Oh my god! How could I forget? I pulled out my phone and breathed a breath of relief to see the screenshot of those ornaments I found from Amazon. He stared in shock. "What's that?" He asked. I smiled sheepishly. "Ornaments I found online." I answered. Bryce huffed deeply. "I'm sorry babe! Let's be honest I talked about shopping online with Simone and only searched one time for them. They're still pretty." I said, smiling at the last part. He wrapped an arm around my waist and kissed my forehead. "You're lucky I love you." He spoke. He peeked at the picture. "Whoa! These are nice!" He told me. I smiled widely. "Guess this means..." I trailed off. Bryce cheered almost like a four year old. "We get to make our tree!" He cheered. We laughed and paid for the ornaments which will deliver tomorrow. Our bodyguards guarded our move as we took some pictures with people before leaving.

"Move Jace! I'm trying to put this up!" Breanna growled, him hovering over her neck to put another ornament on the tree. He huffed. "I'm trying to put this one up too!" He said. Bella sighed happily. "Isn't this the most wonderful time of year? Only one week left of school then I'm stuck with you ingrates for two weeks. How amazing!" She beamed sarcastically. They glared, playfully shoving each other near the tree. It began shaking due to their shoving. She gasped. "Stop! Stop! Or it'll fall! Quit it!" She panicked. Jace smirked and shoved her again. As a result, her ornament fell off the branch. Breanna's jaw dropped. He laughed. She fake smiled while shoving him which made his ornament fell off the tree. His eyes widened. She covered her mouth with a giggle. They playfully glared, shoving each other. The tree suddenly shook twice. Bella groaned. "Stop! You'll make it fall! Stop! Quit it!" She growled. "He/She started it!" They replied in unison. "IF I HEAR THAT TREE COLLAPSE, I'LL BE MAKING ORNAMENTS OUT OF YOUR RIBS!" Their Mom's voice yelled from the kitchen. Hearing her angered voice, they quickly hung their dropped ornaments and returned to putting up more. Bella breathed a breath of relief yet focused on wrapping tinsels. The last thing they wanted is a 'nightmare before Christmas.'

Two hours later, their family tree was full of gorgeous ornaments and tinsels. Lizzy squealed, wrapping her arms around Bella's neck. "It's so beautiful! You guys done amazing! Now I'm even more happier!" She spoke happily. Breanna fake smiled while intertwining her hands. "More happier by letting us watch TV and drink eggnog?" She said, hopefulness in her voice. She smiled amusedly and nodded. "Good try. You all got homework to do. Chop chop!" She spoke, ushering them upstairs. Bryce playfully ruffled Jace's hair before he followed behind. Lizzy couldn't help but grab her phone and take gazillion pictures of the tree. "I'mma show this to the girls!" She cheered. He low-key laughed. "Isn't this a wonderful time? Our beloved tree is made." She said, awning the ornaments. Bryce sighed happily while biting his lip. "The most wonderful time was your Vogue pictures." He joked. She laughed, punching his shoulder. He shrugged and smiled lustfully. "Your curves—she cut him off by shushing. "Stop! They're upstairs!" She giggled. Bryce wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned closer. She returned the gesture which resulted in a warm-passionate kiss. "I say we...make this a merry Christmas..." He whispered between kisses. Lizzy caressed his cheek and felt his forehead touch hers. "If you remember one thing...." She trailed off. "What?" He whispered. She traced her finger around his lips. "Keep quiet." She whispered sexily. He chuckled as he quietly walked upstairs. She turned around, glancing back at the silver-glittered Angel on the tree top. A warm smile appeared on her face. Their Christmas was sure to be more than wonderful this year...

Or is it?
