Set in *Tell Me Silently* Universe. Scott is given the opportunity to go on a free trip to Bonnie's cabin in the mountains. There they experience some first for them. For Scott it is a Christmas without his mom. For Bonnie it is a Christmas without the Mystic Falls gang. For Tyler it is a Christmas dealing with guilt. And for Stiles, a Christmas with his still newly discovered sexuality. Rated M for sexual content and language.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. These two shows (Teen Wolf and The Vampire Diaries)...I wish. Would be making some type of bank.

Enjoy


Scott looked at his mom in shock.

"What...what did you say?"

Melissa looked up from her paper, stuck on the comics section. That was where she would usually end. She would read the paper, skimming the serious parts. If there was anything pressing or news worthy she would read it. However by the end she was looking at the comics trying to see if one of them would get her to laugh. It was almost a rule that they did not.

"I said you should go."

Scott was confused. Where was he going?

"Where am I going?"

Melissa had turned her attention back to the paper, and was just bringing her mug up to her lips when he had asked that. Stopping just at her mouth, but not turning away from her paper, she answered him.

"You remember when you said Bonnie was leaving for Christmas to go see friends?"

Scott nodded.

"And how she is going to be in a cabin in the mountains?"

Another nod.

"Well I think you should go. You know as a gift for you."

Melissa had expected her son to be excited. But he was the exact opposite. Melissa could have sworn he looked damn right distressed.

"Scott?"

"But mom who is going to spend Christmas with you? And what about opening presents together before you go to work? And what..."

"Scott, I...I could not afford to get you presents this year..."

"So how are you able to send me clear across the country to be with Bonnie and her friends?"

Scott sounded bitter and upset, but most importantly sad. He did not care that his mother could not afford to get him anything. Hell he expected it. How many phones have Scott gone through in the last year? How many times has their car broken down? How many times have they bend behind on a bill? Scott knew full well this Christmas was going to be giftless, Melissa had not even bothered with a tree. That had been an on and off thing in their home. Sometimes they could afford it, sometimes they could not. But there would be presents. Even if it is just one or two things. There was always something for them to open on Christmas. Together.

But now she did not even want to do that.

"Mr. Hopkins said he cannot attend, so he is giving his ticket to you. Plus he said Tyler and Stiles are going. I can't believe he is shelling out that much money for some teens to go have fun in a cabin. But I trust you guys to not do anything stupid..."

Melissa continued to talk, as if trying to find some way to lessen this blow. But Scott was not there; instead he was momentarily shocked by that. Mr. Hopkin's, Bonnie's father, was not Scott's biggest fan, considering his supernatural status. Or that he was his daughter's boyfriend, and had been caught a few times cuddling with Bonnie. This all sounded too perfect, except it was not. He was not going to be with his mom.

"Mom..."

Melissa shook her head, her mass of curls swinging as she did. She looked up at him, tears forming in her eyes.

"Scott, I need you to go. Not to get away from you...but because...I can't get you anything else. Even if it is charity, I want you to go, and have fun."

But he would not. He could not.

"Okay."

He watched as his mother smiled, though she was still sad. He did not know whether it was due to the fact that she was sending him across the country to have a Christmas without her, or that she knew that he was not happy about it, and that she was making them both unhappy just so he could be happy. The irony of it.

The irony that he would be spending his very first Christmas with Bonnie, but without his mother.


A/N: This is just a simple sweet story. It was originally going to be one story, but I decided to make it a multi chapter fic. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!
