Christmas song playing in background

"Happy birthday and merry Christmas to my little sister" Henry came into Evelyn room with a gift "what's this?" "Open it up" Evelyn opens it up and saw a necklace with their name on it "a ring necklace with our names?" "yeah, you can bring it everywhere and I will be everywhere you go" "I love it, thank you" Evelyn smiles and put on the necklace

A voice came through Henry earpiece "alright Henry we're done, bring her down" Henry look over to Evelyn "close your eyes, I have a surprise for you" "okay" Evelyn closed her eyes and follow her brother down. Her brother brought her to the living room and cover her eyes "3 2 1... surprise" Evelyn open her eyes and saw the decorations infront and a birthday cake "wow..thank you" she smiles at them

Henry push her to the middle of everyone "kid make a wish but don't it say out loud" "you're really old fashion you know Steve" Evelyn said Steve smiles and her comment and shake his head "go on make a wish" Evelyn hold her hand together and close her eyes to make a wish in her heart "I wish this will last forever" she open her eyes and blow the candle

"here's my gift for you Eve" Steve took out his gift and passed it to Evelyn "thankyou" Evelyn smiles and opens it up and saw painting material "painting materials?" "I know you love to paint so I thought maybe I could get you something useful" "that's very thoughtful, I love it thank you"

"and here's is my gift for you honey" Nat passed Evelyn her gift, she opened it and saw a leather jacket "matching jacket? I see" "well you have been eyeing on my leather jacket so I thought I could get you one" "love you nat"

"I brought you a cup, with us on it" Wanda pass her the cup "that's cute, I love it" Evelyn smiles at Wanda "thank you Wanda"

"As for me I printed the group picture as a Polaroid out so you can keep it wherever you go" Evelyn rolls her eyes at Sam "thankyou very thoughtful" Everyone laughs at her sarcastic comment towards Sam "hey come on is a nice gift" "yeah, thank you"

Evelyn phone rings, she took out and saw an unknown number "give me a sec" she moved to one corner and answered the phone "hi who is this?" "Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas" "Bucky?" Evelyn asked with confusion "yeah is me" "thought I would never heard from you again and thankyou but do you know it was my birthday?"

"When I was at your apartment I went through the calendar and saw it" "that's very thoughtful of you to remember it thankyou" "enjoy yourself doll" Bucky said and ended the call, Evelyn walks back to the rest of them "who's that?" "Some old friend on mine, they call to wish me a happy birthday"

"let's cut the cake" Henry say "of course" Evelyn smiles and cut the cake, she gave the first piece to Wanda and the biggest piece to her brother. She took the last piece of cake and look around when she suddenly have a thought. She took some cream from a cake and went to her brother "Henry" she wipe the cream on her brother face

"Eve, that's not how we play" Henry laughs and run after her and put cream on her face as well "now we're equal" Evelyn laughs at Henry "you look like Santa Claus"

Later that night Evelyn was sitting at the table drinking whiskey when she heard a knock at the compound door, "package for Evelyn Harper" she went to open the doors "that would be me, thankyou" she took the parcel in and went back to the table, she unboxed it and saw a small teddy bear inside and a note

"Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas, i saw this bear while I was on the street few days ago and thought I could give it to you as a gift, hope you like it"

- Barnes

"how cute" Evelyn chuckle and took out the bear and take a look "is a cute bear and most importantly is in blue" she smiles at the bear

"seems like someone got another gift?" Henry came walk down from the stairs while saying "brother" Henry smiles and sit opposite her "let me guess Bucky sent it to you?" "yeah, I wasn't expecting it but is cute right look at this bear" she smiles and show it to Henry "it suit you and is your colour"

"I think he is falling for you" "you must be crazy brother" "I mean he remembers your birthday and brought you gift" Evelyn took a mouth of her whiskey "that proves nothing" Henry raise up his hand as surrender "alright alright" he smiles and pat on Evelyn head "you know, this is the most happiest day I had ever have" "I know, and I happy that you are happy" Henry smiles at her "don't stay up too late, i will head to bed now" "goodnight brother" "goodnight"
