Olivia heard a bump from downstairs and immediately sat up in bed. She shivered from the cold seeping in around the windows of the old farmhouse and instinctively wanted to curl up around the warm body of the dark-haired woman next to her, until she heard another bump. She nudged the sleeping form next to her until she rolled over.
Olivia mouthed to Natalia, “Did you hear that?”
The other woman scrunched up her eyebrows and shook her head, then she sat up too when she heard muffled voices. Her first fear was that burglars had broken in. There had been a rash of them in town and this was always a bad time of the year for break-ins. Natalia held up a finger to her mouth urging Olivia to be quiet as they quickly scurried around the room for robes and slippers. Olivia grabbed a baseball bat from next to the bed since Natalia wouldn’t let her keep her gun.
Tip-toeing carefully on the wooden floor, Olivia eased the door open and stepped out as close to the wall as possible, followed by Natalia. There were more muffled noises from below. She leaned close to the banister to look over the edge. Partially hidden by the balsam fir Christmas tree, Olivia and Natalia stepped closer.
Natalia barely held back a gasp by putting her hand over her mouth. It didn’t stop the tears from forming though.
“So what paper do you want on this gift?” Rafe held up a comfortable looking set of pajamas.
“I like this one. It’s very…mom,” Emma stated definitively, pointing at a whimsical paper covered in Tigger and Pooh.
“Okay, if you say so, munchkin.” Rafe folded the set of pajamas carefully and placed them in the box to get ready for wrapping. “I can’t believe you made me buy Olivia SpongeBob pajamas.”
“She loves SpongeBob, and you wanted to do something nice…but not too nice.”
He gave her a pointed look, but agreed, “Okay, okay. You’re right.”
“Of course I am.” Emma looked at him measure and cut the paper, obviously thinking. “So, are you coming to dinner tonight?”
Rafe looked around the room, his eyes landing on the New Year’s Eve picture, before closing his eyes, “I don’t know, Emma. We’ll see.”
She narrowed her eyes at the older boy, “I don’t believe you.” He couldn’t look at her as eyes so much like her mom’s saw right through him. “Will you do it for me?”
He looked at her then, “What? Why would it matter to you?”
“Duh! You’re so dense, Rafe. I love you and you’re family to me. You’re like my brother, and I want us all together for Christmas. Even Ava’s going to be here.” Rafe could tell that the young girl was fighting to hold back tears and finally, he took a deep breath.
“I love you too, Emma. If it’s what you want. I’ll do it for you.”
She nodded her head and scooted across the carpet to wrap her small arms around his neck. They stayed like that for a few moments. In the shadows, Olivia pulled a crying Natalia into her arms before leading her back to the bedroom to leave their children to finish what they started.
