Rebecca had been invited down to the Walkers for the annual decorating of Nora's house and was now staring with disbelief at the item Kevin had handed to her.
She had turned around at Kevin's "Hey all" and then immediately ducked as Kevin fiercely launched a navy blue missile over her head and towards Kitty. Kevin turned away from whatever it was he had thrown with a look of disgust and a curt "Don't say I don't do anything for you," which also seemed to be aimed at Kitty.
He was now pulling something else out of a plastic bag that looked exactly the same as the blue missile except it was lilac. Rebecca glanced around wondering in which direction Kevin was going to launch this one but instead he calmly walked over to the corner where Julia and Tommy were sitting and handed it over with another tiny one.
Now she just felt confused as Julia stood up and with tears in her eyes hugged Kevin and kissed him on the cheek. She thought she saw Tommy mouth the words Thank you over Julia's shoulder after looking at the two objects.
Kevin was pulling a silver one out of the bag and heading towards her with it. As she came closer she realised what the missile was…a Christmas stocking.
"Didn't think I'd forgotten about you did you?" He handed over the silver one, gave her a kiss on the cheek and then went through to the kitchen.
She peered at it and noticed that everybody else was now pulling different coloured stockings out of a large box sat in the middle of the room. Nora held a red one, Paige had grabbed a pink one and Sarah was handing a light blue one to Kitty and a white one to Julia.
She turned hers over to get a proper look at it and spotted something sewn onto the white fluffy trim at the top. Rebecca Everybody's stockings had a name on for that Walker and as she sat there she watched them all get up and start to attached above the fire. Tommy had two. His and a lilac one saying Lizzie. Julia, who was still a little upset, also had two. Her white one and another liliac oneWilliam II
Kitty walked past her with Robert who was now holding the navy blue one. She realised Rebecca hadn't moved since Kevin had handed her the stocking. She starched out a hand. "Come on, lets put these up before mom comes in and starts getting sentimental."
Rebecca accepted her hand and pulled herself up. She was finally starting to feel at home in this family.
