The Christmas Gifts
A/N: Here's a little one-shot gift for you from me.
It's Christmas Eve at the Greys. Full of the holiday spirit: the biggest pine tree Christian could find carefully decorated to the max with the brightest of lights, the shiniest of tinsel, every type of ornament possible: Christmas balls of all colors, little angels, snowmen, reindeers, etc., bows, snowflakes and candy canes, even the homemade ones that Teddy and Phoebe had made at school. A toy train was 'choo-chooing' its way around the bottom and a glistening star adorns the top. Four red velvet stockings are hung by the crackling fire, a large wreath hangs over the fireplace, the cheery table decorations, candles, holly, and carols playing in the background. Yes, Santa Clause is definitely coming to town.
Teddy and Phoebe are so excited, anxiously anticipating the visit from the jolly old man dressed in red that sleep will not come easy for them. They beg their parents to let them stay up to watch the white bearded elf come down the chimney but alas that is not to be.
"He won't come if you're awake, only if you're asleep." Says Christian, "And he sure won't come if you've been bad. Have you two been bad?"
Negative nods and low whimpering "Nos" can be heard from the two of them and that makes Ana giggle. "Okay then you two it's time to go to bed. Lets go. The sooner those sugarplums dance in you head the sooner he'll be here. Oh, wait a minute. Where's the cookies and milk you were planning to leave for him? You mustn't forget that!"
The children gasp in horror at their neglect. How could they not leave Santa a treat? Phoebe runs to the kitchen to retrieve the plate of chocolate chips cookies (she was told he likes those the best) and Teddy to the fridge for the milk to pour at great big glassful. They left the tasty offerings on the side table closest to the fireplace with a note 'For Santa'.
Inquisitive Phoebe had a question before heading upstairs. "Daddy, won't Santa burn himself coming down our chimney?"
Christian laughs, "No princess he won't. I'll make sure of it. Now, off to bed with you two."
Disgruntled pouts from both as the two head for the stairs. "Daddy," asks Teddy, "Will you read to us first?"
He rolls his eyes, "Okay if you wish." And now three family members disappear up the stairs leaving Ana to fill the stockings by herself.
A short while later he comes back downstairs and assures his wife their offspring are fast asleep. They went about putting festive wrapped presents under the tree, "I have a present for you I want open now." he tells her.
"I want you to open yours from me tonight too."
They agree and Ana goes into the bedroom to get his and he to his office to get hers. Christian and Ana return to the living room excited for the exchange. She awes at his gift he is holding.
"Ta da! Here you are my love. I got inspired by a TV show."
Ana looks at the bright red box with glee and opens it up. "Ooo it so big too! And hard! How did you know I wanted a 'Cock in the Box'?"
Christian smirks, "I just guessed."
"Now it's time to open mine. Ana pulls down her sweatpants to reveal a green and red striped paper thong with a white bow in the middle. "I was inspired by the same show."
"Why its perfect! But how did you know I wanted a 'Pussy in a Package'?"
"Hmm, I just guessed."
"Shall we go play with our toys now Mrs. Grey?"
"My thoughts exactly Mr. Grey. But grab the cookies and milk first."
"Oh Mrs. Grey, I can't wait to get you into the Christmas sack!"
And to all a good night!
Merry Christmas Everybody!
