A triumphant tree stood in the corner of the room, a bright red tree skirt lay gently beneath it. Lavish gifts littered the floor and one small child peaked into every gift.
"I hope you're not looking Eva?"
"No, Papa. I was making sure that they were still here."
"Its a good job we have you to check isn't it?"
"Santa Klaus will come tonight, wont he Mama?"
"Clause." I corrected her. "And of course he will come, you have ben good haven't you?" Her blonde hair bounces up and down as she nods rapidly, eager to prove her innocence. "Well he will only come if you're asleep, isn't that right?"
Kol lifts her into his arms and we slowly begin to make our way to her room. "Aye, so we best be off with you Eva."
"Sophie and Erin aren't bed." She scowls.
"That because they've been bad." Kol smirks, I slap his chest.
"Its because they're older, they don't get a Santa visit until later." I explain.
"But you're not going to sleep either." She says to me, confusion all over her face.
"You're mother has been a very bad girl." Kol chokes out.
"Kol!" I smack his arm again. "That's because I have to... Make sure there is enough hay for the reindeer."
"But they eat carrots." She retorts.
"Yes, they eat carrots." Kol echo's, a huge smirk written all over his face.
"But they also eat hay. Carrots are their favourite but they enjoy hay." She seemed pleased with my answer as she rests her head on Kol's shoulder, clearly getting tired. "Come on Sweetheart, lets get you to bed so the man in red can come." Kol looks at me and wiggles his eyebrows. "You wish." I whisper to him.
"Night Eva, sleep tight." Kol whispers as he kisses her forehead and pulls the blanket up to her chin and tucking her in tightly. I repeat his process and we walk to the door, leaving it open a smidge so she wouldn't get scared.
"So the man in red comes once she's asleep?"
"Don't be so crude." I playfully scold. "Maybe, if you've been a god boy, we can see what I can do."
"Nik's not going to dress up." Kol finally admitted
"What? You told me he would."
"I confused him with someone who had a sense of humour." Kol rolls his eyes.
"Hmm, you haven't been good then." I say simply.
"Doesn't matter anyway, she's asleep."
"But we have other children."
"They're hardly children, they are aware of how they came to be."
"Kol-" He lifts me up in the air before I have chance to answer and whisks me off to our room.
Turns out he really wasn't a good boy.
