Two months later and Christmas Eve was fast approaching. The guys were on a hiatus, to resume rehearsing for the cruise and concerts that were too happen in the summer.

Amelia opened her eyes and smiled. Today was her favorite time of the year, Christmas Eve. She threw the covers off of her and with excitement pumping through her veins, she threw open the curtain to see the whiteness of the snow. Fresh flakes were falling out of the sky replacing what had melted the day before. Her first Christmas in Boston and it was going to be a white one.

She walked down the stairs and smiled as she noticed the huge tree in the corner of the living room decked out in lights and presents under the tree. She heard laughter in the kitchen and she walked in to see Ali and Danny sitting at the table."MORNING!"

Ali looked up from decorating Christmas cookies. "Well, well, look who's in a good mood."

Amelia walked over to the coffee pot and smiled as she poured the liquid into her snow man mug and turned around to face her and Danny. "It's the best day of the year!"

Ali laughed. "Yeah, plus you get to see that hunk of a boyfriend of yours after a week. That's gotta be something."

Amelia sipped her coffee and walked over and snatched a cookie from Danny's plate. "That too."

Danny smacked her hand. "Yeah, those are mine."

Amelia smiled and kissed his cheek. "Gotta be faster"

Ali shook her head as Amelia bounded out of the kitchen. "I hope today is not a disaster."

Danny nodded. "I agree."

Danny was helping Ali plate the hors devours, when they both heard the click of heels on the tile in the kitchen. They both looked up and Danny's mouth fell open.

Standing in the doorway was Amelia. Her long blond hair fell down in waves, one side pinned up with a glittery barret. She had on a red strapless cocktail dress with a crushed velvet bodice accented with sparkles. Silver jewelry and high heels completed her outfit.

Ali smiled. "Wow....you look fantastic."

Amelia looked down at the dress and then at Ali who was wearing a long green gown. "Are you sure? It's not too much?"

Danny closed his mouth and smiled. "I have to agree with Ali, wow...you look fantastic...no...gorgeous."

Amelia smiled and walked over to the Chex Mix and popped some in her mouth. "Thank you Danny. I must say, you look dapper yourself."

Danny smiled and adjusted his silver tie. "So, is Mr. Boston PD showing up tonight?"

Amelia leaned against the counter and grabbed a bottle of beer out of the cooler. "Yeah, later. He's working a late shift tonight. So, he said he'd be making an appearance."

Ali looked at Danny and plated the pigs in a blanket. "Well, it would be very nice if he did show. After all, it's your first Christmas together." Ali noticed a look on Amelia's face that she couldn't pin point.

She was about to say something else, when the doorbell rang. Amelia sat her beer on the counter. "I'll get it."

Amelia walked into the living room where Christmas music played on the stereo and she opened the door to see Donnie, Jon and Joe standing on the doorstep.

Joe wasn't prepared when the door opened and when it did, his eyes did a sweep of her. She looked beautiful in her dress.

Amelia smiled. "Merry Christmas!"
