A Christmas Miracle
Emily sighed, thinking of how much this Christmas was going to suck. Her parents were having another baby and her brother needed glasses, so it was going to be a very tight Christmas this year. Emily was only allowed one big present, which was the new dress she was getting for the New Year's party. She sat on the couch, watching "Miracle on 34th Street" with her parents and brother and wished she were with someone else, someone who would hold her in their arms and tell her everything would be alright.
The doorbell rang and her mom looked over at her. "Would you get that, Emmy?" Emily sighed again and stood up, letting the blanket fall off her and back onto the couch as she shivered, wishing she were back under its warmth.
She opened the door and her mouth dropped open as well. There on the doorstep was Sheldon Schlepper.
"Merry Christmas, Emily Davis," he said, sounding almost shy. He had a suitcase in one hand and a sprig of mistletoe in the other, over his head. Emily launched herself at him, standing with him on the doorstep as snow fell gently around them, kissing him and enjoying her Christmas miracle.
A/N: This is my Christmas present to Kelly from Dasey Nation. She's going through some stuff this year and I hope this cheers her up. Happy Christmas Kelly! *hugs and love*
