Mariana's POV
"You're not coming?" Ada asked "No" I said down the phone "Me and the kids. We're going to spend Christmas at home" I said "Just you and the kids?" She asked
"No, I have invited Alfie" I said "Oh really?" She teased "I'm hanging up now Ada" I said "Wait wait, did you speak to Tommy yet?" She asked
"I think you know that answer" I said, putting the phone down.
2 weeks later
"Put that down, wait for your father" I said Carter frowned, dropping the present It was Christmas Eve The first Christmas Eve with Alfie being back in our lives
I had wondered a lot about us all spending Christmas together Wondered if I should buy him a present Wondered where to put him to sleep for the night
And I ended up opting to make up Carter's room for Alfie And put Carter in with Laurence "Mum" Laurence said, clinging to my leg "What boy? Eh?" I asked, picking him up
Alfie's POV
The streets were snow white And every house sat quietly with decorations in their windows, in their gardens Walking down the street felt like a miracle in itself.
I'd spent four Christmases alone Two I couldn't remember. I was too coked up to know what month it was let alone the day And yet look at me now.
I was stood at the door of my family's house On Christmas Eve With presents and a fucking horse waiting in a stable for my kids "Alfie" Mar smiled, opening the door
She was beautiful Soft and gentle and... home.
