Christmas (part 2)

"Hey, Kyle, you okay in there?" Eliza said, knocking on the door to the eldest brothers room. "How about you let me in?" She asked a few seconds later when she didn't get a reply. A few moments later the door opened slightly. "Hey." She said.

"Hey."  Kyle said, sitting on his bed.

"You spoken to Hailey?" Eliza asked.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go pick her up in the morning." Kyle said. 

"That's good." Eliza said.

"Where've you been?" Kyle asked.

"I told you I was running an errand." Eliza said.

"Yeah, sure." Kyle said, sarcastically. "There's no way you could just drop an errand and get back here that fast."

"I was on my way back anyway." She lied.

"Sure." Kyle said with a grin.

"Merry Christmas!" Eliza called as she heard footsteps behind her.

"Merry Christmas." Kyle said, leaning against the counter. "I'm just gonna go pick Hailey up." He added, reaching for the keys.

"I'll go wake them up in a sec." She said.

"I'm up." Jake said from the bottom of the stairs.

"Can you keep an eye on the food whilst I go and wake Logan up?" Eliza asked.

"Yes ma'am." Jake said.

"I'll see you in a minute, good look waking sleeping beauty." Kyle said.

"See ya." Eliza said, heading up the stairs. "Logan!" she called, knocking on his bedroom door.

"Come in!" Logan called.

"Am I dreaming or is this a Christmas miracle?" Eliza teased.

"It's good to see you have faith in me." Logan said.

"Look who's awake." Eliza said to Jacob as the twins came down the stairs.

"Whoa, you feeling okay mate. Why don't you sit down and let me check you over?" Jake said with a smirk.

"Are you both feeling like comedians today?" Logan said. 

"And there's the Logan Dylan Chambers that I know." Eliza joked.

"Hey, I'm back!" Kyles voice echoed through the apartment.

"Hey, how are you?" Jacob asked Hailey as Kyle lead her though to the kitchen.

"I'm good, I can laugh without busting my stitches now." Hailey said with a smile.

"That's always good." Jacob said.

"Thanks for having me guys." Hailey said.

"Oh, its no problem, it'll be nice to have a girl around later when these lot are all drunk and insisting I'm too good at whatever game we're playing even though I've lost every round." Eliza said.

"That does not happen!" Logan said.

"It does, last year it was that stupid game you brought. You cheated and won every round, I won one round and you quit." Eliza said.

"You cant deny that one." Jacob said patting Logan's back.

"Lets leave these three to bicker." Kyle said, taking Hailey's hand and leading her through to the living room.

"So this is what a normal family Christmas is like?" Hailey asked, a single tear rolling down her cheek.

"I don't know if I would call us normal." Kyle said, stopping and raising one hand to lightly brush away the tear but letting it rest on her cheek.

"It's more normal than my Christmas has ever been." Hailey said, leaning into his hand. "How much did you tell them?" She asked.

"I told them you're not from Chicago and you couldn't get enough vacation time to go home." Kyle said. "They will be the last people to judge you for your family but I saw how hard it was for you to tell me, so I wont tell them until you're ready." He added.

"Thank you." Hailey said, standing slightly on her tip toes so she was able to lightly place a kiss on his lips.

"No problem." Kyle said before placing a deeper kiss on her lips.

"Get a room!" Logan called from behind them.

"How long have you been there?" Kyle said, protectively.

"Only a few seconds." Logan said, raising his hands in mock surrender whilst Hailey placed a hand on Kyles forearm in a successful attempt to calm him down. "Eliza kicked me out of the kitchen."

"Can you blame her?" Kyle said. "You ate half the food before it was on your plate."

"It does look amazing." Hailey said.

"It tastes a thousand times better." Logan said, dropping onto the sofa.

Authors note: Sorry for the shorter chapter but I wanted to get this up as soon as possible as it is Christmas based.
