"Tim? Tim, Sweetheart., wake up." Adam smiles as he gently shakes him.

Tim rolls over and stretches, opening his eyes.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Adam asks, brushing back his hair.

"Alright." Tim yawns.

"We have a surprise for you." Adam grins, taking Tim by the hand. "Come with me."

They walk into the living room where Chance and Austin were decorating a Christmas tree.

Tim looks oddly at the tree.

"This tree was not here yesterday. How did it grow so fast?" Tim says as he eyes the tree.

"Honey, it's a Christmas tree." Adam laughs.

"Is this Christmas tree fruit?" He asks looking at one of the red ornaments.

"Those are called ornaments. They're made of glass." Chance says.

"How does a tree grow glass ... ornaments?" Tim asks still puzzled with the tree growing in the living room.

"It didn't grow them We're putting them on there. See?" Austin says as he hangs an ornament on the tree.

"Oh. But I'm still ... con..fused." Tim says tilting his head to the side. "How did it grow so fast?"

"Honey, it's not a real tree." Adam says removing one of the limbs to show.

"You broke it, Adam." Tim gasps.

"No." Adam laughs. "It comes in a box and we put it together."

Adam puts the limb back where it belongs.

"And then we decorate it." Chance adds.

"O.k.?" Tim nods but still not fully understanding.

"Tim, you know what this is?" Austin smiles as he holds up some Mistletoe.

"A weed? With ber..ries?" Tim asks.

"It's called mistletoe. And when you see someone standing under the mistletoe, you're supposed to kiss them." Austin explains as he hangs the mistletoe from the ceiling.

"Uh, Austin, I don't think that's a very good idea." Chance chuckles.

"Sounds fun." Tim smiles shyly.

Austin grabs Adam by the arm and pulls him under the mistletoe.

"Look, Tim." Austin smirks as he points at Adam.

"So, I'm to kiss him because he's under that ... thing?" Tim asks.

"Yep." Austin answers with a smile.

Tim walks up to Adam smiling shyly as he bites his bottom lip. He leans in kissing Adam softly. It was a shortly sweet kiss. Tim smiles as he looks into Adam's blue eyes and leans in for another kiss.

"Hmm." Adam hums in approval as he smiles into the kiss. Slowly Adam runs his hands around Tim's waist onto his back and deepens the kiss.

Tim places his hands on each side of Adam's face as their lips move perfectly together in the passionate kiss.

Austin crosses his arms over his chest and loudly clears his throat.

"You're only supposed to kiss not make out." Austin says with a smirk.

"I like the mistleweed." Tim says softly.

"Me too." Adam giggles as he places his forehead against Tim's.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Olena sings as she opens the front door with a large bag full of presents.

"Merry Christmas, Sis." Austin smiles as he goes to hug her.

"I made you guys a few things." Olena smiles.

"Oh, no." Austin laughs.

"Hey, they're not bad." She said as she begins handing out the gifts she has knitted.

She walks up in front of Tim handing him a blue knitted beanie.

"Merry Christmas, Timmy." She smiles.

"Thank you." He says softly looking at the beanie. "Uh, what is it?"

"It's a beanie." She smiles.

"Oh, what do I do with it?" He asks.

"You wear it to help keep you warm." She smiles as she places it on his head.

He suddenly leans over kissing her softly on the lips.

"Uh." She giggles placing a hand on his chest. "A simple 'Thank you' will do, Sweetie."

"You're standing under the mistleweed." Tim says looking up.

"The what?" She asks, looking up and starts to laugh. "Oh, the mistletoe."

"Austin said I'm supposed to kiss everybody when they stand under the mistle ...toe."

"Austin did, huh. That explains it." She smiles shaking her head. She leans over and whispers. "Honey, Adam is the only one you kiss under the mistletoe, alright?"

"Alright. I'm sorry." He says hanging his head.

"Don't be, That was very sweet." She smiles as she straightens his beanie.

"Uh, excuse me for breaking up this tender moment." A slightly jealous Adam says. "But Tim has an appointment with the eye doctor that he needs to get ready for."

"Alright." Tim nods. "Thank you, O..len..a, for the bean."

"You're welcome." Olena giggles.

Tim turns and heads to the bedroom to get ready.

"You're in love with him, aren't you?" Olena asks with a smirk on her face after Tim had left the room.

"What makes you say that?" Adam asks avoiding eye contact.

"You can't tell me that you didn't just now get jealous?" Olena asks with a raised brow.

"You kissed him." Adam mumbles.

"No, he kissed me but only because Austin told him he was supposed to kiss whoever was under the mistletoe." Olena says crossing her arms over her chest. "Tim is gorgeous and all. But you're forgetting that I have a boyfriend that I love very much."

"I know." Adam sighs. "It's just ... I have fallen in love with him."

"I knew it!!" Olena laughs. "And you know what?"

"What?" Adam asks.

"He loves you too." Olena smiles.

"Did he tell you?" Adam smiles.

"No, he doesn't know how. But I can see it in his eyes whenever your name is mentioned." Olena says. "Tim is definitely in love with you."

"I'm ready, Adam." Tim speaks up from behind them, startling them both.

"We'll be back in a little bit." Adam says to the others as he takes Tim by the hand.

Tim made a mental note to ask Chance what this love was that Olena said he was in.
