Title: Twelve Months - December

Disclaimer: I do not own anything you recognize…

Warnings: Nope.

Notes: Nope.

Enjoy!


December is celebrating Christmas with Sam and Sara, Cassie, Bobby and Ellen (they are a couple – you know that now), and Jo.

It's watching everyone open their presents. Sam gave Sara a necklace that somehow matches her engagement ring. You gave Cassie four rings this Christmas – an engagement, a wedding, a twenty-fifth anniversary, and a fiftieth anniversary, because you won't be there. And Bobby must have been taking notes from you because he gave Ellen an engagement ring too.

December is seeing a happy family.

December is you buying toys, clothes, bottles, bibs, height chairs, cribs, sheets, special towels, and tons of other things from Babies-R-Us because you won't be there to see her use it.

It's letting Cassie open them for their daughter.

It's watching her smile and thinking you're definitely going to miss that.

December is your fiancé – yeah, you could get used to that word – whispering that a shot gun wedding is exactly what she wanted. But it has to be in February.

It's you asking why February, but getting no answer.

December is planning for February.
