Sorry I haven't updated this in so long.
I've been concentrating on my other Haleb story, which you all seem to be enjoying, which is great :)
But I felt bad for those of you who read this story and not the other and figured it was time to give you an update so here you are.
Enjoy :)
Chapter Four
The Scavenger Hunt.
"Step inside and have a good scrubby, or you will be very grubby," Kyle read aloud,
"Shower!" Roxy shouted taking off out of the living room, followed by the rest of the children,
"Remember to bring it here before you read it," Aria encouraged.
"Scrubby?" Hanna asked Caleb once they were gone,
"I'm running out of ideas, we've been doing this for 3 years now," he defended himself,
"If you can do better be my guest," he added.
"I suppose it's better than 'where did Aunt Hanna hide when Granny Ashley almost caught Uncle Caleb in the house,'" Emily joked,
"Which time?" Hanna asked, thankful that her mother was still in the kitchen as they all laughed.
They were interrupted by the children running down the stairs like a herd of elephants with the next clue, another three later and the children dove into the cupboard under the stairs for their presents and began dragging the five present bags into the living room. There they emptied each bag and carefully read each label, dishing out the presents to their owners, each pile consisted of presents from each of the couples, Ashley and the children.
Also in each pile was a present to and from each partner, so as everyone began happily opening their presents Emily received a diamond water resistant watch from Maya, while Emily bought Maya a sky diving experience as she knew that she has always wanted to go.
Spencer was overjoyed to receive a weekend spa retreat from Toby (for the two of them of course) as he felt she still worked way too hard and deserved some real time to relax, while Spencer got Toby a whole new tool kit, which he had looked at buying himself a few months before.
Aria received a kindle from Ezra and everyone laughed lovingly when Aria had also bought one for Ezra.
Hanna had bought Caleb an array of gadgets which she had found online, some of which looked far too complicated for her to understand, while Hanna received a limited edition Tresor Paris bracelet from Caleb, Hanna gasped,
"Oh Caleb, these are all the rage at the moment, how did you know?" She asked kissing him happily,
"You aren't married to the queen of fashion without learning a thing or two," he replied.
I'm sorry it's short but I wanted to concentrate on the presents they got for each other without going into too much detail.
The next chapter is going to be longer and will be about the presents the children receive from their parents and the others, as well as the group playing some more games.
At least I think that's what it will be about once I write it.
Anyway please read and review. :)
