Chapter 13
Part 1
The show was a success, apart from a few technical issues, but everyone overlooked these and found it hilarious.
When the show was over Rachel seen a woman, she recognised her, she was from her past. Rachel hoped she didn't recognise her, if she did, she might blow her secret, no one knew about her past, not even her daughters.
"She won't remember me" thought Rachel and she went on to enjoy the rest of the day.
Part 2
The Christmas holidays arrived, and Eddie was so happy, Alison had set the wheels in motion for the big move, she had even put her own house on the market, and found a new house near to Eddie. They were moving in the second week in January, and Eddie was so excited about the prospect.
Rachel and the girls weren't really looking forward to Christmas, it was the first one without their Father, and everything just seemed weird.
Holly woke up early on Christmas morning and made her way downstairs, as usually all hers and her sisters presents were laid out in two piles in the living room, there was a small pile for Rachel, but Holly felt sad, that the 4th pile, their Fathers was absent. Rachel could hear movement downstairs and got out of her cosy bed and made her way downstairs.
"Merry Christmas Darling" Rachel said whilst kissing her daughter,
"Merry Christmas Mum" Holly said, she knelt down at her pile of presents and spotted a small package out of the corner of her eye, it had different paper than the rest, she picked it up and read the label.
"To Holly, love Daddy" she said with surprise.
Rachel smiled at her baby girl ready to explain.
"Your Dad bought them for you before he died, I kept them for today, you can open it once your sister gets out of her bed" Rachel said.
Holly ran upstairs and woke Aimee up, she jumped out of bed quicker than she would on any normal day and ran downstairs, Holly rummaged through Aimees pile and found the box the same size as hers and with the same paper.
"What is this Mum" Aimee asked, Rachel explained to both girls how when she and Trevor where in Aberfoyle he had seen these, and bought them for the girls, of course he had never made it back to England alive, so Rachel thought it would be nice for the girls to receive a present from their Dad on Christmas Day.
They both opened them at the same time, inside was two beautiful necklaces with Fairies on them, Hollys was pink and Aimees Purple.
"Its lovely Mum" Holly said whilst putting it round her neck.
"I'm glad you like them babies" she said to her daughters who both hugged their Mother.
