It's Christmas day and Clone Club is spending the day together. They decided to have their own little Christmas party at Felix's loft. Cosima and Delphine are just arriving when Alison pulls up in her mini-van that's sporting reindeer antlers and a red nose on the front of the van. Alison, Donnie, and the kids gather their food and gifts and then head toward the loft. Cosima and Delphine are slightly ahead of them. When they get inside, they get hugged by Sarah, Cal, Felix, Helena, Tony, and Kira. Alison and her family make it inside a few minutes later.
Once the food is put on the table, they sit down and enjoy their lunch. They share humorous and embarrassing stories. Kira tells everyone how Cal fell on his butt on the ice and how Sarah had laughed so hard that she ended up falling too. Delphine tells everyone how the fire department showed up at their apartment because Cosima was trying to make them dinner. Tony tells everyone about the time he caught Alison and Donnie singing passionately to 'I Got You Babe' by Cher. Helena tells everyone about the time that Felix fell off of Helena's motorcycle as soon as she barely hit the throttle. Sarah ended up laughing so hard, she started choking. Luckily, Helena hit her on the back and dislodged the bit of food that had gotten stuck in her throat.
When they finish with lunch, Alison blares some Christmas music. They sit around the Christmas tree that Cal found and then they had all decorated together a few weeks earlier. The Christmas tree was adorned with traditional baubles and handmade crafts. It was a clash of styles, with Alison's white Christmas ornaments mixing with Helena and Kira's child-like homemade items. The decorations clashed, much like the Clone sisters occasionally do, but put together it looks perfect, Delphine thought to herself.
"Hey, babe put this on." Cosima says reaching towards her girlfriend who is holding reindeer antlers. She lets Cosima put them on her. "You look adorable." Then she kisses her on the nose.
"Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas!" Says Donnie wearing a Santa Claus outfit. He had changed into the outfit while everyone was busy with cleaning off the lunch table. He's carrying a large sack filled with Christmas gifts. Donnie passes out the gifts to everyone and then they all dig in and throw wrapping paper all over the place.
Most of the gifts that were bought go to the children. They enjoy their new toys, clothes, books, and games. However, the adults do exchange gifts. Alison has knitted everyone a sweater with their first initial knitted on the front.
"You made this all by yourself?" Helena asks examining her sweater. It's green with a white 'H' on the front.
"Yes, I did." Alison says.
"It is perfect." Helena says hugging the sweater and then smelling it. "I love it." She puts on her sweater. Alison is absolutely touched. She places her hand over her heart when Helena smiles back at her wearing the green sweater.
"You look lovely, Helena." Alison says.
"Sarah, put yours on too." Helena nudges Sarah and encourages her to put it on.
"Why don't we all put them on?" Sarah says. They all put their sweaters on and Alison looks so happy she looks like she's about to explode.
"I think they rock." Tony says checking himself out in the mirror.
"Helena, why don't you open our gift?" Cosima asks.
"Okay." She smiles brightly at the Frozen DVD. "Thank you, Cosima and Delphine. This is perfect." She turns to Sarah. "Look, Sarah we can watch it all the time now!"
"Yeah, yeah, great." Sarah says not-so-enthusiastically. She gives Cosima a what-have-you-done look.
"Open yours Sarah." Helena nudges a poorly wrapped gift that she clearly wrapped herself towards Sarah. Sarah opens it, not knowing what to expect. It's an Elsa doll. "I have Anna." Helena holds up her Frozen doll with excitement. Sarah shakes her head.
"Come here, meat head." Sarah hugs Helena. She lets her go and hands her the gift she bought her. It's a knife with an engraving on it. Helena hugs Sarah. Everyone looks over their gifts and is quite happy with what they got.
Tony is happy with his very expensive Rolex, chocolate bar from Helena, sweater from Alison, and some Cuban cigars courtesy of Sarah, Cal, and Felix.
Alison and Donnie love their new tools, their new birdhouse from Helena. Alison is given a scarf from Felix, who shoots him a deathly glare. And a bottle of wine from Sarah and Cal. Tony gives them some fun garden gnomes that Felix helped him pick out.
Helena enjoys her DVD, sweater, her bag of doughnuts from Tony, and an engraved knife from Sarah that says 'To Helena. Love Sarah.' "Just try not to hurt anyone with that." Sarah says.
Cosima and Delphine enjoy their gifts as well. There's a toy puppy from Tony, who always insists that they are like lovesick puppies when they're around each other. There's a nice little drawing Helena did of the two of them. And there's another bottle of wine from Sarah and Cal. Felix has given them a card with about fifty dollars in it, however when he opened his autographed Queen record he gave them about two-hundred more.
Soon, there's only one present left. Cosima insisted that Sarah opened it last. When Sarah opens it, it's revealed to be a large picture frame. "Cos…" Sarah says as she looks at her gift. Inside the frame are different sets of pictures. There's one of Cosima jumping on Delphine's back and Delphine laughing at her. There's a picture of Alison and her family. There's a picture of Tony and Helena. There's a picture of Helena, Felix and Kira and then a picture of just Cal and Kira. Then there's a larger picture in the middle of everyone smiling.
"You like it?" Cosima asks. "We all got together and took pictures for you."
"It was Cosima's idea." Alison says.
"This is amazing." Sarah says. "Thanks you guys." She pulls everyone in for a hug.
"Sarah, it's snowing outside." Helena says. Sarah knows what's coming next. "Do you want to build a snowman?"
Sarah laughs. "Yeah, come on meat head."
"Come on everyone, let's go outside." Helena motions for everyone to stand and they do. They put on warmer clothing, like hats, gloves, and scarves. Everyone donned a Santa hat or elf hat. Sarah stuck with her beanie. Not being used to the cold, Tony was wrapped tightly up in various layers of warm clothing.
The snow has blanketed the ground since they arrived a few hours ago. It's about four feet deep. The snow is coming down softly and slowly. It was picture perfect, Delphine thought to herself. Helena immediately started to pile snow together and Sarah helped her shape it into something that resembled a snow man. Soon Kira joined in and then everyone was helping make the snowman. Helena couldn't be happier. Once they were done, they stood back to admire their handiwork.
"Hold on," Cosima said as she removed her scarf and placed it around the snowman's neck. "Now, he's perfect." And he was perfect Delphine thought, with his button eyes and carrot nose that Helena had pulled out of her pocket.
"We should call him Olaf." Helena says
"Great idea, auntie Helena!" Kira says. Helena smiles brightly at Kira.
A few moments later, a snowball hits Sarah right in the face.
Tony laughs and Sarah wipes the snow from her face. She glares at him and then picks up some snow and makes into a ball. Sarah looks at Tony with the snowball in her hand. Tony stops laughing, suddenly frightened of the determined look in Sarah's eye. She throws the snowball and hits Tony in the face. Everyone laughs.
"Alright, alright, we're even." Tony says putting his hands up. Donnie, enjoying the moment, has made himself a snowball and decides to throw it at Alison. It's not a wise decision, especially when Alison glares daggers at him when the snow hits her in the arm. Sarah and the gang laugh at the look on her face. Alison throws a snowball and hits Donnie in the stomach. Then she picks up another snowball and turns to the group.
"Okay, who laughed?" She asks in friendly and menacing way. All fingers point to Sarah, who exclaims a "what, no!" as the snowball sails through the air at her. She dodges it and it hits Delphine. "Delphine! I'm sorry, that was meant for Sarah."
Delphine laughs it off. "You're gonna pay for that Hendrix." Cosima says. She makes herself two snowballs and hands one to Delphine. "Here babe. Ready, aim, FIRE!" Their snowballs fly through the air simultaneously hitting Alison. Cosima and Delphine high-five. Then a snowball hits, Cosima. Cosima looks at Tony, the direction where the snowball came from. But he points to Felix, who smirks happily.
The little gang is soon having a full-blown snowball fight. Snowballs are flying this way and that. Hitting targets and missing targets. Laughter fills the air as they shout in delight when a snowball hits them or they hit their mark. It's clones against clones, monitors against monitors, monitors against clones. Children fight their parents and each other. They fight in teams, they fight alone. They fight until the snow starts falling harder and the temperature falls lower.
They make their way back inside when the fight is over. Sarah and Alison make hot chocolate for everyone. The hot chocolate warms their cold hands and stills their shivering. Delphine and Cosima are cuddled together on one end of the couch. Helena holds Kira close to her on the floor. Tony is searching for warm clothes in Felix's closet. Felix is looking for an old TV. Donnie holds his children at the other end of the couch. He smiles fondly at Alison when she joins him on the now cramped couch. Felix finds his old TV and DVD player. He sets it up in front of everyone. He puts Helena's Frozen DVD in and plays it. Sarah sits next to Helena on the floor. Cal sits next to Sarah. Felix sits on Helena's opposite side and Tony takes a seat on a vacant chair.
They enjoy the movie, though by the end, most people are asleep. The only people left awake are Helena, Alison, Donnie, and Delphine. Cosima has fallen asleep on Delphine's shoulder. And Sarah has fallen asleep on Helena's shoulder. Gemma and Oscar are asleep on their parents. Felix is resting in Helena's lap and Cal is asleep in Sarah's lap. Tony is slouched comfortably on his chair, his feet hanging over the side.
To outsiders, it would look strange Delphine thinks all these people who look alike but look so completely different at the same time. They're a strange little family, brought together through impossible circumstances. They have their fights, but at the end of the day, the love each other. They all look alike, but they are all unique. Like snowflakes, Delphine reminds herself. She smiles when Cosima nuzzles closer to her in her sleep. Her Cosima, her little snowflake Delphine thinks.
