Warning: Most likely contains historical inaccuracy. Also, in the last chapter I don't believe Philip was a Senator yet. Sorry about that.

History fun fact: George Washington did not proclaim the first nationwide Thanksgiving until 1789. So this chapter is a HUGE inaccuracy.

Disclamier: I do not own Hamilton. Hamilton belongs to Lin Manuel-Miranda.

1781

Peggy loved Thanksgiving. Well, she loved every holiday, but Thanksgiving was special. Her mother made lots of food that she helped prepare for all her family. This year the Schuylers were going to share it with Alexander.

Eliza had married Alexander Hamilton the year before and now he was part of the family. Of course his friends were coming along too. Peggy found them fun and invited them herself.

So there her family was rushing around the house on Thanksgiving. Angelica was watching the baby. Philip Schuyler was making sure everything was in order and Catherine was trying to make sure her sons looked somewhat presentable.

Which was why it was up to Peggy to answer the door when there was a knock.

"Peggy!" Eliza practically threw herself at her sister.

"Eliza!"

The sisters embraced and then broke away.

"Angie's upstairs with Catherine." Peggy smiled.

Eliza rushed inside and Peggy attended to the other guests.

"Peggy!" Alexander grinned

"Hello Alexander," She said. "Hello Monsieur Lafayette, Laurens, and Mulligan."

"Come on Peggy, you don't have to be so formal," Hercules chuckled

They stepped inside.

"You clean up well," John smirked.

Peggy looked confused for a moment. Then she looked down at her dress. It was covered in flour and stains. Her hair was a mess.

She blushed and laughed awkwardly.

"Excuse me for a moment gentlemen," She rushed upstairs.

John laughed, "We love you anyway Pegs!"

Alexander shoved John but laughed himself.

"That girl is..how you say…" Lafayette trailed off

"Busy." Hercules finished.

The table was set and the spots were beginning to fill up. Eliza pushed in her youngest brother's seat and then sat next to Alexander. John, Hercules, and Lafayette were entertaining John Bradstreet and Philip Jeremiah with stories. Everything was in order….almost everything.

"Settle down everyone..settle down." Philip Schuyler said, "It's time to bless this food."

He gestured to the food on the table. There was lots of it and it made everyone's mouth water seeing the steam rise up. Everyone bowed their heads and closed their eyes. Except for Angelica.

"Wait!"

Everyone, even the baby, looked at her.

"Where's Peggy?"

Indeed, Peggy was absent from the table.

"Coming! I'm here!"

Peggy rushed into the room. Her hair was neat and she had changed into a clean dress. It was yellow and puffy with lace on the sleeves and collar. She gave a quick twirl to show it off and then plopped in her seat, slightly out of breath.

Hercules, John, and Lafayette stared at her eyes wide.

"I clean up nicely don't I?" She gave a tiny yet noticeable smirk.

Lafayette cleared his throat, "Oui."

Peggy gave a small laugh and their flustered faces.

Rensselaer huffed, "Can we eat now? I'm hungry."

Everyone laughed.

"Yes son, we can eat now." Philip said.

John lifted his glass in the air, "A very happy Thanksgiving. A toast to the chefs."

"To the chefs!" Everyone followed his example.

In no less than two hours, all the food had disappeared and everyone was half-asleep.

Happy Thankgiving Everyone! (For Americans) Happy Super belated Thanksgiving (For Canadians)! Happy Thursday/Holidays! (In general)
