Mark stared at his ill brother, that spark he once had in his eye had died a long time ago. His once cheerful smiled seemed dim and his youthful skin was now dried and wrinkled

It was now normal for Daniel, Alexia and Mark to meet up at Mark's office to have a chat about Grey. Mark sat behind his desk, Alexia and Mark sat in font of him.

Dr. Davis and Mrs. Adams sat on the couch which was on the left side of Daniel's navy blue and cream office

"So how's it going with Grey?" Daniel spoke first

"Really good actually, he's been talking more and he even kissed me" Mark smiled

For the past few weeks Alexia has been giving good new to Daniel and Mark. Mark had even seen some progress himself when Grey encased Alexia in his arms when she mentioned that she was feeling cold

"He's finally making a move. I can say the same, though he hasn't been open about his emotions he has been catching up on the business's progress" Grey had been asking subtle questions on the Marketing and Finance aspects of the business, he had even completed some reports on Mark's behalf because he had more knowledge on the subject than Mark

"My son is one damn good business man, he sure as hell didn't get that from me" Mark laughed

"Maybe he got it from me" Daniel laughed at his brother

"Sure he did" Mark rolled his eyes

"I think it's time" Alexia looked at Daniel

"Are you sure?"

"Yes.....your condition hasn't been the best" Alexia shifted in her seat

His medical reports weren't getting better, his breathing was now more rigid, he felt more tired than usual and he now coughed up blood on the daily. Alexia and Mark couldn't stand to see Daniel's condition worsen, they wondered how Grey would take the sight of his dying father

"Dr. Davis says that I will probably never see another Christmas" Dr. Davis looked at Daniel as he mentioned her name, she nodded slowly at Mark

Christmas was not too far away as it was already November, the wind was chilly and the fest Christmas songs had already begun playing.

"I'll never get to see my first grand child" Daniel's eyes met Alexia's own

Daniel could already see that Alexia was Grey's future. From a far he watched as he held her, his embrace was gentle and sweet, his face showed that he needed her attention and she gladly gave it to him without a question.

"If I could just see my son have his own family, I'd die happy" Daniel held back the tears that were forming. He wanted to see his son experience happiness even if it was just for a while

Alexia wrapped her arms around Daniel and squeezed him slightly, Alexia could see Mark from the corner of her eye looking away holding in his own tears.

In front of her eyes a family was being tore apart but a the same time there was partial healing happening

"That's my Christmas wish. That you'd at least see one more Christmas with us" Alexia whispered in Daniel's ear before releasing him

"So when are we going to do it?" Mark stared at his brother

"When Alexia says so" she furrowed her brows

"Why me?"

"You live with him so you spend the most time with him, you'll be able to judge his mental stability better than us" Alexia nodded

"It's decided then, I'll tell you when"

"Great, I have to go now, I have a date"

"A date?" Mark stood up and fixed his tie
