Turning Saints To Sinners

Chapter 37: Christmas Day

Sabrina rubbed her eyes, yawning. She walked down the stairs and into the sitting room to check on the Yule log. It was still lit. 
She turned to leave but stopped when she noticed boxes under the Yule tree. 

-

"Wake up, baby! It's Christmas!" Zelda opened her eyes to Mary hanging over her face. 
"It's Christmas." 

"I know. Can we just stay in bed for a little longer?" 

"No! Get up!" Zelda groaned, wrapping her arm around the woman. 

"I will if you give me some kisses." Mary sighed, kissing Zelda briefly before practically jumping out of the bed. 

-

"Auntie Hilda? Did you put presents under the Yule tree?" Hilda shook her head. 
"Well, there are boxes and stuff wrapped in paper under it." Ambrose jumped up, already walking towards the stairs. Years ago, they used to buy Yule presents until Zelda cut that tradition. Ambrose loved presents. 

Hilda followed the two to the sitting room and was very surprised to see colorful wrapping paper. 

Ambrose grabbed a box. He turned to face his aunt and cousin. 
"They are from Auntie Zee and Mary." Sabrina and Hilda looked at each other before sitting down in front of the Yule tree. 

-

Mary dragged Zelda to the Christmas tree. Zelda grabbed a cup of coffee Mary had already made before sitting down with her. Zelda pulled Mary between her legs, wrapping her right arm around her waist. 

-

Ambrose stared at the box in front of him. He presented to wipe a tear from his eye. 

"What's inside?" Sabrina asked. 

"They bought me records. Beautiful fucking records." Hilda wanted to call him out on the language but she laughed instead. 

Hilda opened her box. The three oohed at the dress and pearls. "These are so lovely." Hilda put on one of the cardigans, awed at the soft material. 

Sabrina opened the box filled with classic horror tales. She smiled. "Auntie knows us all too well." 

"And we know almost nothing about her." The three felt guilt. 

"We should take on of your pies to her, Auntie!" Sabrina nodded in agreement. 

Hilda got up, checking on the pies. 

-

"These sweaters are so nice, Zelda!" Mary pulled the light grey one over her head. 

"Your welcome, baby." Zelda kissed the side of her face. Mary giggled, handing her a box. 

Zelda opened it and laughed. "You needed a pair if you were going to be living with me." Zelda peered down at the black heel less loafers. 

"Thank you. I like them." 

"Do you really?" 

"Yes." 

"I have one more thing for you." Mary places a bigger box down in front of them. Zelda opened it and awed. It was a large fluffy cheetah print coat. 

"Oh this is gorgeous, Mary." Mary smiled, turning her head to kiss Zelda's neck. 
"Thank you. I too have one more thing for you." 

She handed the satin box to Mary. 
Mary brushed her fingers over the soft fabric. 
Opening it, Mary gasped. 

"Zelda! This is beautiful!" Zelda smiled, kissing Mary. 
"Put it on me!" 

Zelda clipped the necklace around her neck. 
"You look gorgeous in it. Just as I expected."
