CHAPTER TWO
" glad to hear that," she said then went back to finish her work on what he thought was a chocolate cake while he kept sipping his coffee and watching her with a smile printed on his face that didn't know it was.
The doorbell ringing got them both from their thoughts and Abby went to get to the door while Marcus followed her immediately without thinking. Abby greeted Indra and Nyko her husband with the kids who run toward the living room with the other kids then Indra noticed Marcus at the back leaning on the kitchen's door fame " Hey Marcus, I see that you found your way" she said while taking off her coat " Yes I found them at your door waiting for you so I just suggested for them to come in here not out there in the cold" Abby replied " yes Abby found us and I found out that our real dinner is here" Marcus said and having his eyebrow up like he was questioning Indra while they walked back to the kitchen Abby immediately started to prepare the table for the dinner " forgive me for not telling you about this because you would have asked me a hell of a lot of questions" Indra said trying to get the dishes from the cupboard. A few minutes later the dinner was ready and waiting for them to join on the tables Marcus called for the kids and everyone was eating and chatting like they all were one big family. Abby watched the dinner went so good and how Clarke was having a really serious conversation with Marcus who was too focused on the subject that her daughter was talking about then she looked at the whole table seeing that everyone was having a good time, she was so grateful for Indra that helped her with this idea. They finished eating and the kids went back to the living room Nyko went after them to find them a good movie to watch so the others started cleaning up after a while they were sitting with the kids waiting for Abby to bring them the sweet. Abby came with the chocolate cake then went back to bring plates and Marcus stood up right after " let me help you with the glasses" he offered to help her. They brought them from the kitchen but they both stuck at the entry to the living room " both of you freeze in your place" Indra shouted from her place on the couch, everyone looked confused enough " what is wrong?" Abby whispered the words to Marcus who was confused as she was " I don't know" then he noticed the smirk on Indra's face and how she was looking above them and with that, both of them looked above their heads and there it was above their heads the mistletoe. The look on their faces was one of a thing Indra thought especially the horror look on Marcus' face that alone made this Christmas different "NO, Indra that is not gonna happen" Abby was trying to be reasonable to avoid what is going to happen, Indra was determined to make this Christmas funnier than ever " it is the traditional Abby can't really change that" so with that she got up and went to them took everything they were holding and put them aside "now you can kiss" she said it like it was the most normal thing between these two.
