One Christmas Eve, the day before Christmas, a fresh layer of white fluffy snow layered the ground.

In the morning, Leah made a nice big breakfast for her family, and in the afternoon there would be a large dinner for the pack in the packhouse.

It's been a couple of days since school ended for the two-week-long break the kids had in front of them.

A couple of visitors joined Leah and Alec for breakfast. Damon was there but he wasn't really a visitor anymore, he was family.

Leah's dad and her two younger brothers, Nick and Blake, came last night to the pack at night. The three of them stayed in spare rooms. Aunt Jenna stayed in a spare room in the packhouse since she was more acquaintanced with the rest of the pack then Leah's family. Liam was there for breakfast as well since Damon was there, but more importantly, he was focused on Blaire. Kai invited Josie, and Jade also invited her best friend, Elizabeth, because her parents were still away on a trip.

So there was a full house, but it was very peaceful this time. Especially during this time of the year. Everyone was smiling and laughing, and reminiscing about funny years during all the years they have been together.

Like the one time that Kai managed to kick Charlie's tooth out, or the one time that Blaire scared Jade so badly that she passed out when they were eight and seven. Or the time when Peyton got expelled from school for pranking the teachers because he managed to take control over the television with his phone and change it to adult movies. Also, the many times when Alec and Damon have a friendly spar, or the time when they went fishing in a lake and their boat tipped over.

Almost everyone left the dining room when Leah looked over at Alec. He looked bare of emotion and throughout breakfast, he stayed oddly quiet.

"Are you okay, baby?" Leah asked.

"I don't know. Something just feels off today." Alec warns.

"I'm sure everything will be fine," Leah says.

Damon walks in, "Maybe a nice friendly sparring session with me, you, and Liam will help."

Alec turned to Damon with a teasing grin, "You mean me kicking your ass session?"

"You're on old man," Damon says.

Liam was right behind Damon so he heard everything.

As the three guys were heading out Blaire pulled Liam, who was behind Alec and Damon, off to the side. "A kiss for good luck." Blaire kissed Liam on the cheek, still respecting his wishes. A kiss on the cheek wouldn't hurt anyone, after all.

Leah cleaned up the kitchen with the help of her father, and Elizabeth went home.

Kai and Josie, they were practically joined at the hip, played in the living with Peyton. Charlie left to go spend time with his mate since she got done eating with her family too.

When Charlie came back from spending time with his mate, he walked Josie back home. Jade asked if she could go back to Elizabeth's time so she could spend time with, then she'd be able to sneak off easily to meet her mate.
