Christmas Special Pt. 1

When you get home, Ally thanks you for letting her crash at your place. You tell her it isn't a problem, since family is always welcome. She goes to the guest room, and falls asleep after leaving her presents for the three of you under the tree. Sophie lets out a yawn, and also goes to sleep. You give your wife a smile, and then two of you go the master bedroom. " So, (y/n)," she says. " Do you wanna be big or little spoon tonight?"

You think about it. One of the advantages to being around the same height as your wife is that you can alternate being little or big spoon. Both have advantages and disadvantages. " Uh, little," you decide after awhile. She smiles.

She wraps her arms around you, and rests her head on your chin. " Goodnight ( nickname)," she says. You smile, and curl up into a ball. " Goodnight Babs," you say to her. The two of you cuddle, and then wake up in the morning, feeling rested. Looking at the calendar, you sigh. Christmas Eve.

Going into the living room, you see Ally cooking breakfast, as Sophie watches cartoons on the television. You turn to Ally. " Barb and I have work to do for Christmas Eve," you tell her. " Just one last podcast, and then an office party. Can you take care of Sophie today?"

Ally nods, and Sophie seems really happy about getting to spend the day with her aunt. After breakfast, you get in the car with your wife, and drive to work. " Hey Barb," you say. " How are we gonna manage to get home after the party? Every time we get drunk, and we need Ally to stay home with Sophie."

She laughs. " Oh, I don't even know," she admits. " But, we can figure something out. Actually, that gives me something I can talk about on the podcast, so that should be fun." You look at her confused. " It's a sweet story, you'll love it," she says. You just shrug and decide to go with it.

-Timeskip to the podcast.-

" So, last year," says Barbara. " (y/n) got to experience a holiday party in a way I never have." They look at her confused. " Sober." This sends them into laughter, and they turn to you to clarify. Then, it hits you what she was talking about in the car.

-Flashback your pov-

Okay, so I came to the party late. I had been some other stuff for my channel, Knock-Out Fighter. And then, I guess I was speeding or something, so a cop held me up. I get to the party, and there's Barbara, drunk out of her mind. It was bad. She was like going around flirting with different guys, and just being spastic.

" So like, do you get jealous when she drunkenly flirts with someone," asks Burnie, interrupting your story. You shake your head.

" No, I don't get jealous. I worry that while she's drunk, some asshole is gonna make a move on her and take advantage of her being drunk." Anyways, I go over to her, and she's hammered. I get over there, and she just looks at me funny.

And she sees me, and her eyes widen. " Are you single," she asks me. I just laughed, and told her no, I wasn't. She asked who my girlfriend was, and I told her I was dating this girl named Barbara. She was so drunk, she didn't even know that her name was Barbara.

I tell her I'm dating some girl named Barbara, and she deflates. " Oh," she said. " What's she like?" And then I started describing her, to her drunk self. I was like, " She's wonderful, and beautiful, and funny, and just the most beautiful girl in the world."

Barbara stopped for a second, and then was like," Oh, she sounds wonderful." And then she threw up all over me, and then passed out. So, I'm standing there, covered in puke, and my wife is passed out. I would laugh in the whole thing wasn't just kinda stupid.

I picked her up, careful not to get her puke on her, and I found Lindsey. I set Barb down, and turned to Lindsey, and I was all like, " Make sure she doesn't go anywhere." Then, I started going to everyone in the office who's around my height and build to ask for clothes.

The first one I found was Gavin. But, he was drunk also. And I was like, fuck. I asked him for a change of clothes and he was saying, " Yeah I have a pair of clothes. I'll give it to you if you can chew an entire pack of cinnamon gum at once."

I'm cursing to myself, because he's dead serious. For a moment, I consider just taking Barbara home covered in vomit. But then I tell myself, " Well, that might look a little suspicious. And then, there's the fact she's my wife. She would clean herself up before taking me home."

So, I chewed the entire pack of cinnamon gum all the same time. I won the stupid bet, and he gave me his change of clothes. I went to the bathroom, cleaned myself up the best I could and then but on the change of clothes. I went back over to Lindsey, and Barbara had thrown up all over herself.

So, I was like..." goddammit." Luckily, Lindsey had a pair of clothes for her, so I took Barbara to the bathroom. I held her hair while she threw up, and then I helped her undress and then clean up. Then, I helped her get dressed. I carry her to the car, and buckle her seat belt. We drive home, and then I carry her to the bathroom.

I set it up for her, and then help her bathe. When she gets out, I helped her into her pajamas, and then I carried her to the bed. She just gave me this weird look. Like she loved me so much, and then I climbed into the bed with her. And, she curled up into this bar next to me, and I held her.

-Present Day, with slight timeskip-

You wake up in the bed, with your wife the next morning. Your head is ringing, and you hear the enthusiastic scream of your daughter. Your wife turns to you. " Merry Christmas," she says.
