One More chapter Left Of this story So Excited to rewrite a Little bit Of GMW History I Have Really Enjoyed writing this one and I'm Hoping to have the Last chapter out on Friday Tomorrow Is an Important day for Me So I wanted to Get this one out Tonight Thanks for the support Enjoy

Riley tried to keep the smile off Her face She tried to stay Grouchy She really did but Josh Made It Nearly impossible First He took Her I've skating patiently Leading Her clumsily self around the Ice keeping Her from falling Next He took Her to see Santa and they both posed for a picture sitting on His Lap

Than Josh bought Her Hot Apple cider and brownies shaped Like reindeer They went to the park and Made a snowman Giggling and Getting Into a snowball fight with some kids Than They found some carolers and Josh convinced Her to Join them

They sang up and down the children's wing Of the Hospital Giving out candy canes and Christmas cookies Josh snapped some pictures with the Group before they departed wishing them a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

As they Left the Hospital Riley felt Lighter than She had all day She really did Love doing kind things for others The only thing dampening Her spirits was the fact that She knew Josh was Guiding Her back to Her own Apartment

Josh- Come on Riley we Have to face them all some time

Riley shook Her head

Riley- I'm still so annoyed and a Little Embarrassed that I trashed the Apartment Auggie didn't deserve that at all 

Josh- I'm sure Auggie understands

Josh reassured Her pulling Her onto the subway that would take them to Her Apartment complex

Riley Eyes started to water up sitting In the subway car Josh rubbed Her back telling Her to forget about Lucas

Josh- He Is probably Already thinking about a Million different ways to Grovel for your forgiveness Don't waste your precious time being sad Let's Enjoy Christmas together screw Everybody Else

Riley Laughed

Riley- Thank you Uncle Josh Normally Have to drag Maya kicking and screaming to do Holiday stuff Today has wound by being so fun

Josh- It Really has

Josh said Grabbing Her hand and Leading Her to a place to sit

Josh- Let's Make Each other a promise From Now on Let's set aside a day In December and do all this fun Christmassy stuff together I Enjoy It you Enjoy It We can have an uncle Niece day Just the two of us

Riley- I would really Love that Josh

A Mischievous smile spread across Her face

Riley- But you know Maya will be Extremely Jealous Maybe you should Have a Maya Josh day to Make It up to Her

Josh- Look at you Little Matchmaker If It Make you Happy I promise I will spend some Quality time with Maya before I Head to Philly
