Tori patted her head and looked around while keeping a tight grip on Siennas hand. It was Christmas Eve and even though it snowed the night before, the mall was packed.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year..." played through the speakers and Tori couldn't help but to agree. Her baby daddy and customer were spoiling her.

"Mommy! We're up next!" Sienna jumped up and down and Tori calmed her down. They were in fact next in line to meet Santa and Tori couldn't wait till it was done so she can go home and chill.

When the girl before them was done, Sienna ran up to Santa and jumped on his lap. Tori watched closely to make sure the old white dude won't do anything funny to her daughter.

"Ho! Ho! Ho! Who do we have here?" Santa asked and Sienna tilted her head to the side.

"So you don't remember me? We met last year and I'm pretty sure I'm on the Nice list." Sienna said and Tori started to snicker while recording the two talk to each other. Sienna was definitely her mother's daughter.

"Santa meets a lot of children every year so he tends to forget names. I'll remember next year, just remind me one last time."

"My name is Sienna Richards. My daddy plays baseball." Sienna bragged and Tori shot her a thumbs up.

"Oh, I've seen that name on my Nice list! Tell Santa what you want for Christmas for being a good little girl." Tori tried to listen closely but Sienna leaned into the Santa's ear and told him what she wanted. His face changed from happy to kind of solemn. Tori noticed and wondered what her daughter told this stranger.

"I'm sorry. What did she say?" Tori stopped recording and came up to the pair. Sienna started to twist her fingers, and Santa's mood brightened up a bit.

"Do you mind if I tell your mother what you said Sienna?" Santa asked and Sienna shook her head no, giving Santa the green light to expose their secret.

"Sienna said she wished her mommy and daddies family could get along." Santa said and Tori frowned looking down at her kid. Tori preferred if Sisi would've asked for a playhouse or a toy Mercedes car.

"Sienna baby, Santa doesn't perform miracles. Tell him good bye and let's go." Tori said and Sienna hopped off Santa's lap before waving and walking off with her mother.

The pair made it over to Alex and Ani because Tori wanted for both of them to get matching snowflake charms.

"Which one do you like, Sisi?" Tori asked and Sienna picked out a white snowflake charm encrusted with diamonds.

The song switched to Jingle Bell Rock and Tori smiled remembering the Christmas' she spent at various foster homes. Every year she went to a new family just in time for the holidays. However after New Year's Day, she'll be back in the orphanage fighting kids who tried to steal her presents.

The young Alex and Ani cashier rung up the charms. Tori only had two bracelets full of charms because she found it tacky when females bought multiple bands with only one charm on each bracelet. She also didn't want the bracelets to hide her arm tattoos.

"$50 dollars ma'am." The cashier said and Tori payed before taking her charms and grabbing her daughter hand.

The mall was so fucking crowded and that was ticking Tori off. She had more shit to buy her friends and she definitely didn't plan on being stuck in this damn mall all day.

Sienna held on to her mother's hand tightly and looked around the mall. Her eyes landed on the tall skinny figure that was her father. He was standing with Camila at his side and his bodyguard was a few paces behind them. She snatched out of her mother's grasp and ran towards Sterling.
