You woke up to the sound of laughter and Dutch's gramaphone early one morning. As you were waking up you turned to see Arthur in a Santa hat, looking at the ground as the women giggle and run off. "They put you up to this, didn't they?" You ask, standing up and taking his hand in yours, smiling. He chuckled as he nodded. "The women and Jack thought it would be sweet." He said, kissing your cheek. "Well, it is." You say, smiling. You begin to lead Arthur out of the tent as a small child runs up and jumps on you.

"Mama!" The child, [c/n], said as they wrapped their small arms around your leg. "What is it sweethear?" You ask, bending down and picking up the child. "Jack said that Uncle Dutch planned a big Christmas party for everyone!" The small child shouts before looking over at Arthur. Their eyes light up as they see their father in the Santa hat. "Daddy, you're Santa!" The child says, smiling big. "No, I just stole his hat." He jokes, ruffling the kid's hair. "Daddy, that's how you end up on the naughty list!" [C/n] said, giggling. "They're right Arthur, youre gonna make Santa skip us!" You joke, shaking your head at your husband.

You, your husband, and [c/n] are sitting around the fire with the rest of the gang. You're all singing 'Jingle Bells' while Pearson works on the Christmas feast. It's peaceful and you can't help but forget about the fact that you are a wanted woman, married to an even more wanted man. You smile as you watch your child run around the fire, playing with Jack, as Mary-Beth and Keiran share sweet smiles, as Karen sits on Sean's lap while they sing, as John holds Abigail's hand, as Molly and Dutch cuddle close to each other to stay warm, even as the rest of the boys laugh at how soft the men have gone, its all so sweet. You all really are a family, as messed up as your life may be. You wouldn't have it any other way.

You stand as Pearson announces that the food is ready. He had even gone into town to find a longer table so everyone could sit together. You take your place next to your child who sits between you and Arthur. Once everyone else is seated, Pearson begins to bring the food. There's mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, even a ham. You eat your food slowly, making sure to appreciate Pearson's hard work. You would enjoy this night as long as possible.

Merry Christmas everyone!
