With only one day left until Christmas morning, I still find myself four days behind on this fic.

Lilith sighed as she looked down at her tea; the people across the planet celebrated Christmas together with not just their friends and family, but with other people around the world. They were united in their beliefs despite any other differences they may have had in culture or language. She hoped that this would be enough in the looming battle for survival that she knew was fast approaching.
Her fellow "siblings"…how she longed to feel that unity among all four of them.
She had tried to let Abel see the part of him that was forced to hide beneath a façade of coldness and sharp tongue. Her plan had been halted by the infusion of the Crusnik nanomachines on the Martian lands the colonists failed to occupy.
She admitted to herself now that perhaps it had all been her own mind attempting to create her own new world order--a place where she had the family she'd secretly wished for alongside the Nightroad siblings all this time. It seemed as if all those mid-20th century TV shows dealing with the "perfect" family had influenced her ideas on the family life she craved.
Lilith sometimes used to picture herself as the mother: respected and loved like Mrs. Brady. Cain and Abel were the perfect sons, and cute little Seth was the little sister.
These ideas changed when her knowledge of classic television shows improved, and her feelings toward the other three shifted a bit. She started to see Abel in a new light--like the misunderstood male figure in many movies and shows. This led to somewhat far-fetched images where she and Abel were the parents trying to raise the younger Seth, with the interference from the eccentric uncle-figure Cain constantly causing problems.
Now the redheaded woman chuckled a bit at these thoughts. Her actions when she was younger embarrassed her sometimes; how naïve she had been when dealing with the ideas of sappy movies and sitcoms applying to her life. But she had been young and foolish into thinking that she could change someone into the perfect son or spouse.
Despite all this, she still craved the unity associated with family life. Even if the other three could never be biologically related to her, she still wanted them all to at least be able to celebrate holidays and other important events together.
It was the reason she often found herself envying the people on Earth for their ability to share at least some sort of common ideas which united them as one.
