Chapter 1 Christmas Shoes

I stood, tapping my foot impatiently, holding some gifts for my adopted son, Henry, and my daughter, Sarah. Emma had forgotten a few things for our children along with Regina who Henry wanted to have at our family Christmas. Sarah was Emma's and my only child right now. We've been trying for a few weeks to have another one. Henry was Emma's other son with Neal, but considers me like a second father, which was fine with Neal and I. I heard my phone beep. Emma had shown me how to work one after we started dating. It was a text from Emma

Hurry home. Dinner is almost ready. Ems.

I smile and sent a response that I was at my last stop and in the checkout line that I will be home shortly. I put my phone in my pocket. I see the boy in front of me pacing around in the spot that he stood as he waited. I saw that he was dirty and holding a pair of shoes in his hands. I could tell there was worry in his eyes. The man in front of the boy moved and the boy moved up to the counter, setting the shoes on the counter.

"Sir. I want to buy these shoes for my mother. She's sick and father said there is not much time for her to live." The boy said.

"Well let's see if you got the money." The cashier said. The boy put lots of coins on the counter. I sent Emma a quick text saying that I might be a bit longer, knowing I was going to regret it, but I didn't have a choice. It seemed forever that they counted coins. I fooled around with my phone as I waited.

"There's not enough here, lad." The cashier said. I looked up to see the boy serching his pockets looking for more money. He turned to me.

"Mom made Christmas good at our house. Most years she did without. I want her to look beautiful if she meets Jesus tonight, but I can't if I can't buy these shoes." The boy said. My heart sank. Remembering my parents and my brother and loosing them, but finding family with Emma and her parents, who were hesitant at first until they saw how happy that I made Emma. I took out my wallet and put the money down the money that was still needed for the shoes. I saw a huge grin on the boys face.

"Momma's gonna look so great." The boy said. He took the shoes and ran out.

"That was a good thing you did." The Cahier said, as he checked me out.

"I know what its like to loose a family member so I had to be nice. It is Christmas." I said. I took the bag and head home. Emma was already putting dinner on the table when I came home. I pulled her to me and kissed her.

"What's that for?" Emma asked, after we kissed.

"I'll tell you later." I said as Sarah runs to me and I scoop her up. I set her in her chair. Regina, the Charmings with their todler son Peter, and Henry come in and sit down. Emma and I sat down and we all began to eat. After everyone left and Emma put the kids to bed, while I finished wrapping the last of the presents. I put them under our tree.

"So what happened?" Emma asked when I joined her in bed. I told her about the boy.

"He showed me what Christmas is all about." I said. Emma smiled.

"Good. I got a early present for you. I know you wanted to wait till tomorrow, but." Emma said. She handed me a picture. I looked at it and saw that it was an ultrasound.

"Are you saying?" I ask

"We're pregnant again. I'm a month along." Emma said.

"That is a wonderful Christmas present." I said, kissing her. It was a wonderful Christmas for us both.

AN: I know its short. Hope you enjoyed. Thought I would do a Christmas one for the two. I heard this song and I came up with the idea.
