❄Last Christmas//Kevin McCallister❄Home Alone

❄Maybe This Christmas❄

"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.Everywhere you go..."

I slowly opened my eyes to the sound of the alarm next to me, the radio was up and playing Christmas songs with some hosts talking about today's news and weather.

I internally groaned and adjusted my eyes at the light coming through the curtains. My hands grabbed the sheets and I tried to block out the small amount of sunlight, to try and sleep just a few minutes more.

Moving the sheets back down I huffed and turned to my side to see my husband fast asleep on his side of the bed. "And it is 6:40.." I opened my eyes wide this time and jumped out of bed.

"It's almost late!" I almost shouted. In a hurry I put on a coat and warm slippers and began to run out the door and down the stairs.

"Kevin! Wake up the kids." I shouted when I reached down the stairs.

Heading straight into the kitchen I began to quickly make some eggs and bacon. I heard footsteps approaching and I looked over and saw Kevin with messy hair and two small kids walking next to him.

Our twins. Mason and Katherine McCallister. I sighed relieved when I saw them all ready with their clothes on ready for school. "It's the last day of school! Can't we stay?" Katherine asked looking at us both.

Mason stayed quiet and began to eat his food. "Like you said it's the late day of school. Just one more day and you and your brother will be free of homework, think you can take one more day?" Kevin asked her.

I glanced back up and smiled at them. "Of course dad! We'll be on our best behavior, but remember today were leaving school early." Mason reminded us.

"That's right. We'll try our best to pick you up." I told them and handed them their lunch for school.

"If not your uncle Fuller or Rory will pick you both up..maybe even Stacy."

"No!" Both out kids shouted. Kevin and I stare at them weirdly and raised an eyebrow. "Why not she's the babysitter?" Kevin asked standing next to me now.

"She's always on her phone and doesn't like to play with us." The kids pout and I look at them. "Well she is older and my co-worker, she is a very busy woman."

I look at Kevin and he nods. "I know how you kids feel but your mother is right. We both work a lot, so I promise you later today we'll head out and eat anything you two want."

Mason and Katherine's eyes lit up and they both shouted, "waffles and ice cream!" We both chuckled and stared at them lovingly. "It's a promise then."

Both Kevin and I handed the kids their backpacks and zipped up their coats so they wouldn't feel cold. The four of us walked up ahead at the bus stop and slowly we saw the vehicle approaching.

"Behave you two, and take care of your sister." Kevin told them but looked at our boy. He scoffed but nodded his head. "I will dad."

The bus made its stop and we waved at them goodbye when they entered. Few other kids also entered and we watched the bus slowly from itself away. "Late again..you remind me of mom." Kevin jokes when we new back in.

He closed the door behind him and the house felt a bit too quiet. Kevin and I have known each other since we were diapers, at the age of 10 our parents accidentally left us and we had to face the wet bandits. A year later the same incident happened but we were lost in NewYork.

Kevin and I never mentioned that incident again or ever spoke to it at our kids. Right after we graduated college Kevin and I were expecting the twins and from then on we've lived here, since his parents left Kevin the house and they moved into a smaller one just a few minutes away from here.
