Crazy Holiday

It was a few days before Christmas and there was just so much that Sylvie wanted–no needed to do. They were having a Christmas party at the firehouse tonight, and then tomorrow it was the 21st district Christmas party.

Actually, the party wasn't at the firehouse, it was at a hall and Sylvie was freaking out on what to wear. She was glad though that Antonio was able to come with her. He was working today though, it wasn't a long shift so she decided to go dress shopping with Gabby.

She just threw on a pair of jeans and a sweater and then she slipped on her coat. She grabbed her purse and keys and she headed out of her apartment. Usually Gabby would picked them up, but since they were shopping, she didn't want to bring Louie, in case he acted up. So, Matt was watching him and Sylvie suggested it would be easier to pick her up.

She locked the door as she turned around and headed out of her apartment building. She walked over to her car when her phone went off, signaling a text message. She took out phone out of her pocket and smiled when she saw that it was Antonio. It had been a while since she was with someone on Christmas, and deep down inside, she was happy about it. Christmas was her favorite holiday after all.

Hey baby. Just checking in to make sure you're having a good day. See you in a few hours. Love you.

Sylvie smiled as she opened her car and stepped inside. He was really the sweetest man. To everyone else, this text wasn't really anything, but knowing that he took the time out of his busy day to text her meant everything to her.

Before she started her car, she text him back.

Just missing you. I'll see you in a few hours. I love you, please be careful.

After she hit sent, she put her phone down next to her and she started her car, placing on her seat belt. A few seconds later she pulled away from the curb, driving to Gabby and Matt's apartment.

Once she was there, she honked her horn. She didn't mean to be rude, but they were on a tight schedule and the party was in 5 hours. She hoped she could find something to wear that would make her look cute for tonight.

Gabby walked out, closing the door behind her. She walked over to Sylvie's car and she opened the door. "Hey you." She said as she got inside and buckled her seat belt.

"Hey." Sylvie said with a smile. "Ready to shop?" She asked and once Gabby was ready, she pulled away.

"Oh hell yes." Gabby smiled. "Hey, do you know what you're getting Antonio for Christmas yet?" She asked.

Sylvie looked over at her. "Gabby, Christmas is in a few days." She pointed out.

"I know. I already brought Matt's gift. I was just asking if you knew what you were getting Antonio." Gabby said.

"I actually got him a few things. I know it's cheesy, I know." Sylvie said as she turned her attention back to the road. "But since the guy pretty has everything, I just made him a photo album of us together, and a lot of it is also with the kids. I then brought him a new jacket and a watch." She said, biting down on her bottom lip to hear Gabby's reaction.

"I think the photo album is a cute idea." Gabby said truthfully.

"Thank you. I just didn't know what else to do. I also added in important dates and messages of our relationship so far. Of course since it's still new, I have to add a lot more." Sylvie said, smiling. "Guys are just so hard shopping for."

Gabby laughed and she nodded her head. "Yes they are. But truthfully Sylvie, you gave Antonio all that he wanted. Not only do you love him, but you accept his kids."
