Chapter 1: Christmas Plans
"How could you not like Christmas," Alex asked as she circled the pool table while Maggie lined herself up to take a shot, "Everyone likes Christmas."
"It's not that I don't like Christmas," Maggie said pulling back the stick, taking her shot and missing the '5' ball, "I just don't see the big deal."
"It's a tradition."
"For some people, maybe," said Maggie. "Look if you're worried I didn't get you anything don't since I all ready did. That part is okay especially since we're dating and you do celebrate the holiday."
Alex shook her head, "No Maggie, that's not what this is about."
"Then what? My family doesn't exactly do holidays. I'm not the type to go home for them either."
Alex came around and stood in front of Maggie, forgetting about their pool game for a moment.
"I just thought we could spend our first Christmas together. Kara and I are going to our moms and I want you there with me."
Maggie smirked, "Spending Christmas with your family?"
Alex smiled, "Yeah. Trust me, you haven't experienced Christmas until you've experienced it with the Danvers'."
"I'll be meeting your mom for the first time. That's a big step for us."
"It is."
"Are you sure you're ready?"
"I'm sure about my feelings for you."
Maggie smiled, "So then ask me, Danvers."
Alex bit her lip, shook her head but smiled, "Maggie Sawyer, will you spend Christmas with me and will you meet my mother even though Christmas isn't really your thing?"
Maggie looked into Alex's eyes, "Okay."
The two of them kissed, their lips gliding across each other for a moment before Maggie pulled back, "And just for the record, I'm sure about my feelings for you too. If I wasn't I wouldn't be accepting your invitation."
"Oh yeah and how do you feel?"
Maggie grabbed Alex by her jacket and brought her down to her level, "Like this," she whispered before their lips met again, harder and more passionate this time.
