Happy Holidays everyone! xo enjoy the Happy Linseride fluffy Christmas lol

Kelly had insisted Erin needed a big tree, so he took them down to a lot and let Amy pick out a tree. Now they were back at the apartment with Naida, adding lights, bulbs, and other ornaments. Amy was running around in her new Christmas pj's while Erin and Kelly cleaned up the boxes left from what they put on the tree. Severide smiled watching her then grabbed her as she ran by, picking her up and tickling her. "Do you want to put the star on the top?" he asked looking down at the little girl in his arms. When she nodded, Erin handed her the topper and Kelly lifted her up so she could reach the top of the tree.

The three of them stood there for a minute, admiring the fully lit tree and thinking about what it would be like in a few days. Nadia walked over with mugs of hot chocolate for them and smiled at the tree. She was thinking about lucky she was and how grateful she was to Erin. Not only did she help her get her life together, she had given her a family.

After a few hours of watching Christmas movies and playing board games, the girls were asleep on the living room floor. Erin and Kelly were talking in the kitchen, smiling at the site. She started thinking that maybe it was time to start looking for a bigger place. Amy couldn't keep sleeping in the living room, she deserved her own room. "You guys should move in with me," he said, as if reading her mind. "There's plenty of space and its just me there now, I need a roommate anyway."

She looked up at him, "I don't know Kelly, that's moving pretty fast. I mean I get it, but I just…"

"It makes sense; we're all always doing stuff together anyway. I have plenty of room for her to fun around and play, and she'd have her own room." He walked up and wrapped his arms around her waste, "just think about it."

"I'll think about it." Erin said nodding and looking back at the sleeping girls in front of her. Moving in with him did make a lot of sense, but at the same time she didn't think that it was the smartest idea.

The days leading up to Christmas, Erin and Kelly had taken turns watching Amy and shopping for her. They really wanted her to have the perfect Christmas. While they wrapped all of her presents, Nadia had taken her out ice skating and they picked out stuff for Erin.

"Nadia just texted me, she said they're on their way back," Erin said walking out of her room into where Kelly was wrapping and fixing the Christmas lights. He picked up all the gifts and handed them to her, Lindsay taking them into her room.

When Erin came back into the living room, she found Nadia, Kelly, and Amy sitting on the couch, the little girl talking their ears off. Telling Severide all about her day with Nadia and talking about how excited she was for Santa. "Well the sooner you put out milk and cookies and get to bed, the sooner Santa will come," Kelly said smiling. They had all agreed that the girls take Erin's room tonight & he'd crash on the couch. It would be too hard getting presents under the tree with her sleeping a few feet away.

Finally making her presence known, Erin cleared her throat, the three people on the couch looking up at her. They all got up to head for the kitchen to get things ready for Santa and his reindeer.

It took almost a half hour longer to get Amy ready for bed. She was so excited; she didn't want to go to sleep. With all the girls in bed, Severide got everything ready for the next morning. He smiled at the site of the tree with all the gifts under it and for the first time in years, he was excited about Christmas.

Amy woke Erin and Nadia up the next morning by jumping on the bed. She was so excited and wanted them to hurry up and get up so she could see what Santa brought her. When the girls walked out of the room, Kelly already had coffee made and waiting for them. He handed the detective a cup, kissing her softly, "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas," she said back smiling and they both watched Amy run towards the tree. Nadia walked behind her a smile on her face; all of them were grateful for each other and so happy to be spending the day together.

Once they had woken up a little bit, they started opening presents. Each thanking the other for the unexpected gift. All of them loving the look on Amy's face as she ripped open each package and looked surprised each time she had something else. Kelly snapped pictures of her and her gifts, also taking some candids of the three girls. Erin stole the camera from him a few times, getting some shots of him.

When all of the gifts were open, Lindsay pulled the little girl into her lap, "I have something I wanna ask you? It's sort of a present for both of us." The little girl looked her confused and she continued, "how would you like to stay with me?"

"I thought I was staying with you?" Amy asked just looked at her even more confused.

"I mean permanently. I want to adopt you."

The detective wouldn't have been able to hide her smile even of she tried when the little girl wrapped her arms around her. "Really?" she asked watching Erin nod causing the little girl to wrap her arms around her tighter. "I have to thank Santa, that's what I told him I wanted," those words causing Erin's heart to melt.
