The Archive looked like Christmas threw up and its main goal was the Archive.
Dina has been in total bliss, turning into a Christmas Nazi, getting them to do secret Santa, always wearing something festive yet cozy.
Johnny wanted to protest but the moment they stepped into the Christmas shop set up like a story book and how Octavia's eyes lit up he caved.
"Johnny did you pick up more fake snow?" Dina called from the ladder across the room.
"Dina don't you think the snow is a little much?
I mean your going to need to clean it up and keep refilling." Johnny pointed out as he sat the huge sack of snow on the floor like a sack of flour.
"Nah boss I riged this up so it sucks it all back up and again as someone crosses over or presses the button it all falls down again." Jordan beamed as he demonstrated is new contraption.
"Yeah but eventually if not right away its going to be dumping dirt on us too." Johnny pointed out.
"Ho ho ho..."
Cam walked in with a Santa sweater, Santa hat and a red sak over his shoulder.
"Cam!...
Please tell me you didn't go over kill on gifts for Bellamy, Miles and Octavia.
We had a price budget.
Besides you can't cram in years of missed Christmas' in one Christmas." Johnny said in defet as he searched threw the sack.
"Yeah well I saw this stuff and figured practical and yet cool.
Can you blame me, you know how excited I get with Christmas.
This is the first time we actually went all out for Christmas." Cam said not even slightly disappointed.
He was on cloud nine.
Which started getting Johnny wandering.
'Last time he acted this happy he tried to keep a stray kitten, another time a dog, heck a rat once to.'
"Cam what furball did you find now?" Johnny stood fim arms crossed while Cam beamed with pur joy.
He lifted his jacket pocket and out came the cutest thing ever.

"Cam!?....
Its adorable...
But how...
Where did you get the Bush baby?" Johnny said as he pet the little creature with his finger.
"I rescued her.
She was loose in the store. 
Escaped from the kill shelter next door. They said if I wanted to keep her they would help me get the licence I need plus the training.
They gave me a few things on what I need to know and the type of cage to keep her safe and feed." Cam said as he when back into the hall and pushed a fancy cage all fitted for the little animal.
"Oh Cam she's precious...
What's her name?"
Dina half squeeled with joy as the little animal jumped on her shoulder and snuggled her neck.
"I named her Penny." Cam beamed as Penny lept from Dina to Johnny and back to Cam the moment he said her name.
"Hey what ever happened to that cat you rescued." Johnny asked as he looked around.
"That was in what I'm thinking was the first time we ended up in the Dream World." Cam half pouted.
He missed that furball too.
"Oh yeah thats right.
Well let's get this new furball settled before Kay's parents arive.
We moved the dinner here and to tonight." Johnny said as he made a space for the cage in the living room.
The rest of the day was pure bliss as everyone talked and joked around the dinner table.
"I know its only Christmas eve but I don't think it would hurt any if you opened one present." Martha winked at Octavia who tore into her gift like a wild animal.
"Miles we have a special gift for you and Bellamy." Martha handed them each a small beautiful wraped box.
With a note.
..............................................................
"Dear Miles,
We have never met but I know both your parents well.
I was best friends with your father.
I was always in touch with him. When he thought he wasn't going to make it home he gave me this special gift.
He had made just like your older brothers'."
Marcus Lake...
..............................................................
"Dear Bellamy and Octavia my beautiful children.
You only knew me as Daddy Bellamy you were so young when I left you begging me not to leave but I had to it was for the safety of you, your sister and Mother.
Octavia even tho I never got to see you I know your beautiful and perfect.
I enclosed two gifts in this little box one for you Bellamy and one for Octavia.
I hope one day to hold you both in my arms till than stay strong...
I love you always."
Daddy
(Marcus Lake)...
..............................................................
Once the boys opened the presents after reading their letter outloud.
They were amaized by their elegant knife.
Bellamy pulled out a stunning butterfly neacklace and smirked.
"Think this is yours." He handed over to Octavia who gasped and here eyes lit up as she snatched it from her big brother.
She exsamined the beautiful blue wings when she bumped some release button and out poked an elegant blade with her full name carved on both sides.
"Its beautiful." Octavia gasped as she pressed the release button again and and the blade hid once again.
"That's Marcus for you." Calvin smirked.
"Say Calvin what did Marcus mean in his letter?" Johnny asked as he handed Calvin his letter.

"He was here to investigate and if possible get you boys away.
Your father had made him your Godfather for all three of you boys.
The day he failed at exstacting you two we thought he was killed.
Sebastian found Marcus in an alley way behind a dumpster.
Sebastian took Marcus back with him to owl woods.
Marcus couldn't return home.
For the safety of his family he had to stay dead.
We stayed in touch with secret  randevus.
I would tell him how his boys were doing along with his wife.
Every time I saw him he was miserable, than one day he was exstatic, overwhelmed with joy.
He met someone and she was going to have his child.
It was a few years since I saw him last and now he was overjoyed, alive again if you will.
Than when she was pregnant with Octavia his first baby girl things shifted, her true love was back, Marcus' best friend.
He left before Sebastian could even be angry with him.
For betraying him like that but they both thought Sebastian was dead.
For some time Marcus worked under cover for me but his focus was always on you boys.
When thing changed for you boys again.
With the death of Alexander he seemed to turn his focus back to you more than ever before as if the death was a plot yet to be uncovered.
The only reason you ever gone to Owl woods was because he tipped off their gaurds that your lives could be endangered.
As for Marcus we lost touch before all that has happened in the past few months or well the year that everything was really set into motion.
See Johnny you being incarcerated was infact a well thought out plan.
They knew the only way to get to Cam was if you were out of the way.
Trust me they would have went for you as well once they had Cam.
But with all the leagal stuff and all the people watching Cam made it nearly impossible for anyone to get close." Calvin explained.
"Wait I'm not sure if I follow.
You say our mother dated Marcus?
And you kept me locked in there for our own protection?" Johnny inquired.
"Yes after your brother Miles was born the same day you were in the hospital your dad never actually returned home.
He started helping me build a case against your uncle but for some reason we got shut down every time we tried to get it looked at.
Than I took I'll.
I lost touch with your father after that.
When Marcus visited me in the hospital with some very interesting tea is when I found out about Octavia and that your father returned home to your mother.
And than Marcus alerted me to the plan set in motion to seperate you two well we seized that opportunity to make it work for us.
With Johnny in prison I know not the safest place but I could at least keep you alive.
As for Cam I only had my best spies watching him but eventually he found his way to Kay making my life easier.
But when MW was unleashed made things hard.
But poor girl didn't know what she was caught up in.
Alexander played on her weakness."
Calvin explained the best he could.
"

Dad its getting late maybe you should get home."
Kay tried to get her dad to leave before Johnny might say something he'd regret.
"Look I want you boys to understand.
If it was up to me...
Johnny you would have never seen the inside of a prison and you would never had lived that year in fear of the other inmate.
As for you Cam I should have been paying more attention and Kay I should have included you in what I knew so you could better help them.
Johnny the only reason I had your case so wrapped up the moment of you would have been released they would have set their plans in motion sooner and you boys would be locked in a doungen or worse at this moment in time." Calvin continued.
"I think I understand Mr.Daniels.
Especially after what you just said makes sence." Johnny said solemnly.
They said their goodbyes.
"Pleses still come over for dinner tomorrow." Martha said to Johnny as she hugged him.
"Of course Martha.
I understand that a lot of what Calvin did was to protect us the best way he could." Johnny said as he reached out and shook Calvins hand firmly.
