It was finally that time of year—Christmas! Our house was beautifully decorated, thanks to the efforts of Tasha, Bree, and me. Though the boys chipped in, we knew we had done a far better job.
Right now, Chase and I were putting the finishing touches on the last few presents—he handled the taping while I carefully wrapped the gifts in Christmas wrapping paper, with Leo doing the same nearby. As I worked, I caught a glimpse of Adam, who was coming down the stairs just as Donald walked through the door, his arms laden with shopping bags.
"Ho, ho, ho! Santa's here!" He made himself known, and put the Christmas gifts onto the table. "Presents!" I shouted, excitement bubbling over as I saw him enter. I couldn't help myself, and in my eagerness, I completely stopped helping with the wrapping, much to Chase's annoyance as he rolled his eyes at me. " I'm not sitting on your lap. Just hand out the gifts." Leo warned, pointing a warning finger at him, causing him to let out an amused chuckle. Tasha and Bree joined us just as Davenport prepared to reveal what he had brought. My mind raced with anticipation—maybe it was a Gucci bag or something equally fabulous.
Davenport presented the gifts dramatically. "Presenting this holiday season's hottest new action figures... Adam, Bree, Chase, and Dawn!" He held up the action figures, each one bearing an uncanny resemblance to us.
"Wow!"
"Cool!"
"Toys!!!"
They all yelled in excitement at the sight of their action figures, each one eagerly grabbing their own. In the flurry of movement, I was jostled and ended up being pushed onto Bree's back. While they were all caught up in the thrill, I hesitated to reach for mine. Sensing my reluctance, Davenport stepped forward and handed me the action figure with an expectant, excited look.
I took the doll and examined it closely. "You got me a toy for Christmas?" I asked, my voice deadpan, causing the room to fall into an awkward silence. Davenport stood there, glancing at me and the... Dawn toy. "They're so cuuuuute!" Tasha laughed, breaking the tense silence that had settled over the room. I glanced at the action figure again and sighed. "No bag, no makeup, nothing." I muttered under my breath. "At this point, I prefer the robots you made of them—at least those talked." My words earned me glares from both Tasha and Davenport, but Bree couldn't hold back an amused chuckle.
"Now that the world knows and loves you guys, a toy company was eager to put one of these in every kid's stocking—for a small licensing fee." Davenport said with a smirk, pointing to himself and casting a proud glance at Tasha. Leo, however, looked visibly hurt by his absence from the lineup. He cleared his throat loudly, grabbing Davenport's attention. "Ahem! Didn't they forget a certain someone?" Leo asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'm just saying, this face would look dashing in molded plastic. It appeals to children of all ages." he added with a smirk, his gaze drifting off.
Davenport placed a reassuring arm on Leo's shoulder. "Leo, we agreed to keep your bionic arm a secret. Besides, this is about Adam, Bree, Chase, and Dawn." he said, gesturing toward the trio. They were sitting down, huddled over the table where Chase and I had been wrapping presents, completely engrossed in playing with their action figures like little kids. Meanwhile, I stood there, still examining mine. At least they got my features right.
