Joe's eyes flutter open being woken up by the doctors and closes his eyes again feeling a bit weak and light headed. He feels someone take his hand instantly knowing it's his mother, he knows it's her just by her touch, the care when she touches him.

"How are you feeling Joe?" The doctor asks and Joe opens his eyes looking over at him noticing all his family is here.

"Like crap." He mumbles and everyone laughs.

"Once you've woken up a bit hopefully you'll feel like new." Joe nods his head slightly his eyes wondering all over the room, he can't lie still feeling tired but it was worth a shot. The doctor leaves allowing the nurse to come through with something to eat, they'd given his fluids to keep him hydrated but didn't give him any food knowing he would be woken in a couple of days. Joe sits up and begins eating also talking in the conversation at the same time. It's been a long while since all the family was together in one room.

Demi plods down the stairs a few days later just wanting to open her presents and give hers out, she's loved Christmas since she was a kid and hates anyone who calls it a crap holiday. The tradition of the family is to wait until everyone is up and had they're breakfast to open the presents, as normal Demi is the last one up. Everyone cheers when Demi walks into the kitchen making her roll her eyes and they laugh. Demi sits down at the island and he mom places a plate of waffles in front of her soon giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Merry Christmas sweetie." She says and Demi smiles saying it back but to everyone. They sit there chatting while waiting for Demi to finish off eating her breakfast so they can all go and open and share they're presents. Lucie has also joined them this year since Drew spent last year with her parents and family. Demi smirks as her brothers are staring her down to take the last bite of her waffles, she stabs it with her fork and slowly bring it up to her mouth teasing them, her parents and Lucie laugh. She puts it in her mouth and that was it, Drew and Tom were through in the living room, they laugh and follow. They all begin opening and sharing presents until they're all gone, Demi can't help but notice she didn't get much as usual from her parents but doesn't want to sound rude or anything so leaves it. She sits down on the couch putting the necklace Drew and Tom brought for her around her neck, she looks up when she hears her name.

"Stop trying not to be rude and follow us." Eddie says and Demi laughs climbing of the couch and following her parents until they're stood in-front of a door which behind leaves the study which she's been told not to go in for a reason that she doesn't know, she just obeyed their command.

"You want to know why we said not to go in here?" Dianna asks and Demi nods, they motion her to go in so she does instantly seeing a German Sheppard puppy running towards her. Demi smiles and holds them as they jump in her arms, she turns on her heel facing her parents who have a wide smile on their faces.

"She's adorable!" Demi exclaims fussing over the puppy in her arms.

"She is a boy." Eddie says making them all laugh.

"Your brothers have one too, they're brothers and they called there's Juke so you need to think about what you want to call yours." Dianna explains petting the small dog in Demi's arms who's tail is wagging everywhere due to the attention.

"Um Bruno." Demi say instantly knowing it suits him perfect.

"Aw that's a lovely name, shall we put him back with his brother?" Dianna says again taking him as they all walk through into the living room where Juke is laid on Tom's lap watching the world go by, Demi sits down next to Tom and takes Bruno from her mom placing him on her lap, she smiles as Juke looks up licking his brothers face which just makes Bruno wine.

"Aw poor baby boy." Demi coos lifting him up to her face giving him a kiss on the head.
