Author's Note: Just a quick thanks for indulging my Christmas spirit and reading My Christmas Wish. I can't believe how fast Christmas is approaching.

Same thing as before, each chapter is a separate wish and basically a separate story.

Warning: I make reference to some violence that occurred between Kristina and her boyfriend. It is only touched on briefly here since this is a Christmas story. It is something that needs to fully explored and I certainly hope GH gets around to it soon.

MY CHRISTMAS WISH: KRISTINA DAVIS

Kristina loved Christmas. It was a lot of work, there was no doubt about it. But no matter how much work there was to do, Christmas was the best time of year. It was the one time of year her Mom would relax and stop worrying about everything. It was also the only time of year that Kristina felt she could relax and not have to worry about the future or anything else. Her mom and her little sister were the same way. The Davis girls loved Christmas and they showed it by decorating the house, baking and decorating sugar cookies, and singing Christmas carols.

She was home alone right now and that was okay with Kristina. Her mom and Molly were delivering the last of the sugar cookies and they would be home soon. Her boyfriend Kiefer was with his family and would be leaving her alone today. That too was find with her. She would have liked to see her older sister but Sam was celebrating Christmas with her boyfriend Jason. She was wearing the earrings and necklace that Sam and Jason had bought her. They were real diamonds, not too big. They looked just right on her.

Kristina put on of her favorite Christmas CD's on the surround sound system they had. It made the whole atmosphere of their home even better. She was surprised when the doorbell rang. The nanny/housekeeper Viola had the day off, so Kristina hurried to open the door.

"Merry Christ…." Kristina started. She stopped as she saw Spinelli and Maxie dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus. "Merry Christmas Santa, Mrs. Claus. Please come in."

"Merry Christmas. Ho-Ho-Ho!" Exclaimed Spinelli as he and Maxie entered the foyer. Maxie was pulling a red wagon behind her.

"Santa Claus is very busy this year but he wanted to make sure that several of the residents of Port Charles got their special gifts." Maxie told Kristina with a smile. "So he asked us to make a few deliveries for him."

Kristina could only stare at them. Spinelli and Maxie got right to work on unloading the wagon. They took quite a few containers of delicious Christmas treats and set them up on the dining room table. When they were finished arranging the egg nog and brownies and multiple other delicious treats on the table, it looked like a feast had been laid out for them.

"It's so pretty!" Kristina exclaimed. "It must have taken you forever to do all this. Thank you."

"We are only the vehicle used to deliver such Christmas treats to your humble abode." Spinelli told her immediately. "It was Santa Claus and the magic that surrounds this holiday that allowed such a blessing to befall the residents of the Davis household."

Maxie pulled the last item from the wagon. It was a medium sized box wrapped with shinny Christmas wrapping and had a large red bow on it. Maxie handed it directly to Kristina. Kristina set it on the table and admired the pretty wrapping and wondered what was in there.

"My mom and Molly will be home soon. Can we open it then or should we wait until tomorrow morning?"

"This is all yours." Maxie told her. "You may open it when you wish. It will bring you some peace and that will make your Mom and sister happy as well."

"I do not understand why," Spinelli began hesitantly. "But I feel compelled to tell you that although you and Stone Cold do not always get along he and of course Fair Samantha are committed to your well being. They would drop all to come to your aid at any time."

Subconsciously Kristina began rubbing her left arm. The bruising was almost gone now and had thankfully gone unnoticed by her mother and sister. However, her shoulder and arm still hurt occasionally when she moved it. It had been several weeks since Keifer had yanked so hard on her arm that she had cried out. He had been sorry afterward Kristina thought. Then she thought that he was always sorry and yet he kept hurting her.

Kristina wanted to say something right then. She was unable to make sounds come out of her mouth. Perhaps it was the fact that she had a lump the size of a baseball in her throat. Her eyes filled up with tears and all she could do was nod at the couple in front of her.

Maxie and Spinelli each gave Kristina a hug. It made her feel a lot better and she was able to smile at them.

"Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night." Spinelli and Maxie said in unison as they headed out.

Kristina took the beautiful box to her room and shut the door. She couldn't wait to open it. She removed the bow carefully so she could save it. She thought about saving the paper too but decided against it. She hurriedly ripped the paper off and opened the box.

Inside the box she found a video tape, a memory book, and another smaller box. She opened the memory book and began to cry as she looked at the pictures of her as a small child hanging out with her father and her two half-brothers. It was clear from the pictures that they were all having a good time. She decided she would go back in a little while and spend time looking over each picture. Right now she wanted to see all the pictures of her and her father.

Kristina understood why her Mom began keeping her father away from them. He lived a violent and dangerous life and her Mom didn't want that part of his life to touch them. Everyone knew who Sonny Corinthos was. He was one the biggest mob bosses on the East Coast. Her sister, Sam, lived with her Dad's enforcer Jason Morgan.

What she didn't really know about or remember was the good times she had with her father when she was younger. She had been wondering for so long if he had every really loved her as much as he said he did. They spent so little time together these days and she was nervous around him when they did. This memory book as an answer to her secret Christmas wish to see the nice side of her father and to learn that he did truly love her.

Reluctantly Kristina book the memory book down. She picked up the video tape and put it in her DVD/VCR combo on her TV and turned it on. Immediately she began seeing small clips from a camcorder. She and her dad were playing and laughing in almost every one. She had to laugh of the one of him sitting in a small child's chair and having tea with her and her dolls. Seeing it on her screen helped her remember the times with her father. Spinelli and Maxie had been right; this gift did indeed bring her some peace.

When the ended, Kristina rewound the tape. Then she went back to her bed and grabbed the smaller box that had been included. She opened it and found a cell phone. Kristina found that in addition to each of her parents' phones, Jason's cell, Sam's cell, the D.V. hotline, and 911 were all programmed for her.

Feeling a strength she had not felt in a very long time, Kristina knew that she did not deserve what Keifer was doing and she wasn't going to take it anymore. She picked up the phone and hit one of the numbers.

"Hi Sam," Kristina said when her sister answered. "I need your help."

Author's Note: Merry Christmas! I will try to post one or two more wishes by Christmas Day.
