Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling down
Well you be a real good little girl
Santa Claus is back in town
Ed stood next a frowning Bailey watching Mercedes and TaTyana dance around to Elvis Presley. It felt so different being with TaTyana for Ed. He was still the Riddler, but somehow more tame. Bailey's groans of annoyance interrupted his deep thought. He turned to her feeling over her attitude.
"It's Christmas Bailey. You can drop the attitude. No one is making you stick around. If you are that hurt about Ash then channel it into remembering him. Make some art out of it. Stop making everyone else around here miserable because you can't stand the truth."
Bailey watched Ed as he walked towards TaTyana with disbelief. Ed tapped Mercedes on the shoulder.
"May I steal her?"
Mercedes laughed and handed her over. Ed spun TaTyana around and started pulling her all over the room dancing and laughing.
Hang up your pretty stockings
And turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town
(Christmas, Christmas, Christmas...)
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Ed looked around, acknowledging that he was the man in the living room and had to go to the door. He cautiously opened the door and turned around shocked. He stepped out of the way and Mercedes beamed with excitement. She ran to the front door hugging the man tightly.
"Ohmy gosh! Jeremiah! You came!"
Mercedes stepped back and looked Jeremiah over.
"And you brought stuff."
He smiled slightly embarrassed. He extended her a medium, beautiful square glass bottle.
"I um... didn't know if anyone would drink any..."
Mercedes smiled and turned to face everyone excited.
"Hell yeah! Jeremiah brought Bourbon!"
She read the bottle and looked at Jeremiah shocked.
"Damn! You brought the good shit too!"
"Ho! Ho! Ho!"
Everyone turned towards the hallway entrance in confusion. Mercedes's felt her heart melt. She set the bottle on the coffee table and ran to Jerome.
"Jerome! You're in a Sanat pajamas! Ah! How cute!"
Jerome laughed. He loved the pure excitement and love in her eyes.
"It's so nice of you to actually join us. You've been back in our room for the longest."
Mercedes suddenly remembered Jeremiah was still standing by the front door. She swallowed hard. She cautiously point in his direction.
"Look who... else decided... to join us..."
Even though Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley was playing, the room was somehow quiet. They easily felt the tension. Jeremiah cleared his throat.
