A/N – Okay, so I feel like I've put you all through enough angst in this series, so this night is a night void of angst. I always get so angry at the GH writers because they give so much angst and basically no happiness and I refuse to do the same. Happy reading! Let me know what you think!

Chapter 1 – Holiday Spirit

Johnny was so excited. His time with Lulu had been limited as he worked hard to gain full control of the business. But not tonight. Tonight was Christmas Eve and nothing was going to stand in the way of he and Lulu's first Christmas together.

He was on his way to pick Lulu up and they were going to Lucky's house for a family celebration. Johnny was somewhat nervous about spending more than a few minutes with Lulu's family. He had met both Lucky and Nikolas briefly, but tonight their sons would be there as well as Lulu's father. He wasn't exactly experienced in family celebrations, so he didn't know what to expect.

He pulled into the parking lot of Kelly's and hurried inside to escape the cold air. Mike smiled at him as he took a seat at the counter. He ordered a cup of coffee to pass the time as he waited for Lulu.

"Did Lulu work this morning?" Johnny asked.

"Yes," Mike answered. "Busy day too. A lot of last minute shoppers came in to warm up with coffee or hot chocolate."

"I'm glad business is doing well," Johnny smiled.

"Me too," Lulu laughed, coming down the stairs. "It means more tips which means more money."

"You look beautiful," Johnny complimented, giving Lulu a soft kiss as she sat beside him.

"Thank you," Lulu replied.

"What are your plans for Christmas?" Mike asked, pouring Lulu some coffee.

"Tonight I'm dragging Johnny to a family get together," Lulu responded and Johnny rolled his eyes.

"I am more than happy to go," Johnny said, defending himself. "I'm just a little nervous is all."

"Why are you nervous?" Mike wondered.

"Johnny thinks my family will kill him if he does something wrong," Lulu smirked. "Which they might, you never know."

"Exactly," Johnny breathed. "It's not easy dating the most well-connected woman in Port Charles."

"Well you two have fun," Mike said, taking Johnny's money as they stood to leave.

"We will," Lulu promised as she took Johnny's hand and walked out the door.

Johnny helped her into the car and then hurried around to his side. He started the car, but paused before putting it in gear. He looked to Lulu and took her hand and kissed it.

"I love you," Johnny whispered.

"I love you too," Lulu replied.

Johnny leaned over and pressed his lips to Lulu's and then pulled away. He smiled at her and then shifted the car into gear and sped away to Lucky's house.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Lulu was so happy to be spending Christmas with Johnny. He had originally wanted to spend a few days completely alone, but Lulu had requested they spend Christmas Eve with her family. In typical fashion, Johnny had agreed instantly. He always did everything she asked him to, something Lulu took advantage of from time to time.

They pulled up to Lucky's house and Johnny opened her door for her. They hurried up the walk and Lulu opened the door without knocking. They entered the house, fingers entwined and found the living room empty.

"Lucky," Lulu called.

"Hey," Lucky said, coming into the room and dragging Cameron behind him.

"Hi," Lulu smiled. "Hey, Cam."

"Daddy," Cameron whined.

"I told you I would not play video games with you tonight," Lucky replied. "It's Christmas Eve. You can go one night without them. Now say hello to Aunt Lulu and Johnny."

"Hi," Cameron smiled weakly at Lulu. "Why did you bring a boy?"

"Johnny is my special friend," Lulu answered.

"Do you play video games?" Cameron asked Johnny and Lulu laughed at Johnny's obvious surprise.

"I bet you could teach me," Johnny smiled.

"Daddy, can I show Johnny my room?" Cameron questioned in excitement.

"Maybe later," Lucky responded. "We're still waiting for your Uncle Nikolas and Spencer."

"Okay," Cameron sighed.

"Where's Jake?" Lulu asked.

"Asleep upstairs," Lucky answered.

"Dad's not coming?" Lulu wondered.

"I never heard from him," Lucky said sadly. "I guess we'll just wait and see."

"I guess I'll get the presents we brought from the car," Lulu offered.

"I can do it," Johnny protested.

"No," Lulu shook her head. "I need a big strong man's help. Cam's the only one for the job."

"Really?" Cameron asked with wide eyes.

"Yes," Lulu smiled and Cameron rushed to the door, pulling her along.

"She's great with him," Johnny observed.

"Yeah," Lucky agreed. "So how is everything coming?"

"So far, no complications," Johnny answered. "Thanks for agreeing to help anyway you can. I really appreciate it."

"It's no problem," Lucky responded. "I can't guarantee nothing will happen, but I'm doing my best."

"Look who we found," Lulu announced, coming back inside followed by Cameron, Spencer and Nikolas.

"Hey," Lucky greeted, hugging Spencer. "I'm glad you two could make it."

"We're happy to be here," Nikolas replied. "Nice to see you, Johnny."

"You too," Johnny said, shaking his hand.

"This is my son, Spencer," Nikolas smiled. "Spencer this is Johnny."

"Hi," Spencer muttered shyly.

"Hi, Spencer," Johnny responded.

"Daddy?" Cameron asked with big eyes. "Can we go now?"

"If Johnny wants to," Lucky conceded. "Don't wake up Jake and take Spencer with you."

"Johnny, do you want to see my room?" Cameron wondered.

"Sure," Johnny answered.

"Cool, let's go," Cameron squealed, running up the stairs.

Lulu laughed as Johnny and Spencer followed Cameron. She turned to Nikolas and Lucky who were watching her with smiles on their faces. Lulu smiled back at them and sat on the couch. They followed and sat on either side of her.

"Johnny is a pushover," Lulu observed. "He will do anything to make other people happy."

"I doubt that goes well in his business," Nikolas said softly.

"I wouldn't know," Lulu replied. "I stay out of that."

"Well that's good," Nikolas responded. "I just want you safe."

"I know," Lulu nodded. "He would do anything to keep me safe. I think his month in the hospital proved that."

"Come on, Nikolas," Lucky laughed. "If I can let it go, so can you."

"Right," Lulu agreed. "I love Johnny and I think you two would be friends if you just gave him a chance."

"I guess I'm a pushover too," Nikolas smirked. "I will give him a chance. Anything to make you happy."

"Thanks," Lulu smiled.
