Three weeks until Christmas. The girls had decorated the entire mansion from top to bottom with beautiful decorations with the boys' help. After they were done, they set up and decorated the tree.

'We still going to Mom and Dad's for dinner?' asked Rebecca as she helped Emily put the lights on the tree.

'Yeah,' said Emily, 'I just gotta tell Murphy to dress nice and to behave himself.'

'I need to relay that message to Connor,' said Rebecca, 'he tends to act kinda crazy sometimes.'

'Does that include sexual innuendos, ass grabbing, breast pinching and making out at inappropriate times?' asked Emily as she finished the lights.

'Yes,' said Rebecca.

Emily scoffed and rolled her eyes. The front door opened.

'Girls!' called a voice.

'Decorating!' called Emily, 'living room!'

The boys took their boots off and walked into the living room. Their hair was wet from the falling snow.

'Have you not sat down once since we left?' asked Connor as Rebecca handed Emily decorations from a container.

'A few breaks here and there,' said Rebecca, 'we've been working hard all day since you guys left.'

Connor shook his head and sat down on the couch. Murphy smiled at Emily and followed his brother.

'It's tradition for us to decorate,' said Emily as she continued to hang decorations on the tree, 'our grandmother gave us this tree.'

'The theme is Pink & Black Attack,' said Rebecca, 'the Hart Family.'

'You and yer wrestling,' chuckled Murphy.

Connor sniggered. The girls glared.

'Pass me more pink,' said Emily, 'I've got a sea of black that needs to be parted.'

'Here,' said Rebecca, handing Emily some pink decorations.

'I like pink,' sniggered Connor, 'but it has nothing' to do with the Hart Family.'

Murphy burst into a giggle fit.

'Good one, Connor,' said Rebecca, 'get it out of your system before we go to Christmas Dinner in three weeks.'

'What?' said Connor.

'Our parents are having us over for Christmas Dinner,' said Rebecca, 'you're coming with us.'

'You have to meet the rest of the family,' said Emily, 'but you two have to behave.'

'Define behave,' said Murphy.

'No sexual innuendos,' said Emily.

'No ass grabbing,' said Rebecca.

'No breast pinching,' said Emily.

'And no making out at the table,' said Rebecca.

'That's easy,' scoffed Murphy, 'we can get it out of our systems before we leave.'

'I have a question about the making out part,' said Connor, 'can we do it in private?'

'They said as long as we're out of sight we can do whatever the hell we want,' said Rebecca, 'making out included.'

'That settles it,' said Connor, 'we're goin' to meet the girls' family.'

The girls took a break from decorating to eat and have a coffee. The boys admired the decorations.

'The house looks beautiful, girls,' said Murphy, kissing Emily on the cheek as she ate.

'You did wonders,' said Connor, 'it looks like the North Pole threw up on us.'

The girls giggled.

'Thank you, Baby Angel,' said Rebecca, 'I think.'

'Baby Angel?' sniggered Murphy, 'are you serious?'

Connor's cheeks went pink. Murphy laughed.

'Angel Baby,' he chuckled, 'what the fuck kind of nickname is that?'

'I call him Angel Baby because he's my Guardian Angel and my baby,' said Rebecca, hugging Connor.

Connor's face went bright red. Murphy burst out laughing.

'That has got to be the stupidest fuckin' thing I have ever heard!' he said, 'fuckin' hell, Connor! Are ya that pussy whipped?'

'Shut yer fuckin' mouth before I shut it for ya,' said Connor.

Murphy shook his head and walked out into the living room. Connor growled.

'Now, now,' said Rebecca, 'play nice.'

'Fuckin' arse…' muttered Connor.

After they were finished eating the girls continued decorating. The boys watched TV and watched the girls decorate.

'Do ya need me to hold that ladder, babe?' asked Murphy, 'yer gonna break yer neck.'

'I'll be fine,' said Emily, 'I've been on ladders before.'

'Not in stiletto heels,' said Murphy, getting up, 'I'm holdin' that fuckin' ladder before ya get seriously hurt.'

'Thank you, baby,' said Emily as Murphy held the ladder for her.

'And I'll catch ya if ya fall off,' said Murphy.

Emily smiled at her fiancé and continued to decorate the tree. Rebecca smiled at Connor. Connor smiled back.

'Almost done,' said Emily, 'just a few more…whoa!'

Emily lost her balance. With a scream, she fell. Murphy held his arms out and caught her before she came crashing to the floor.

'GOTCHA!' he said.

Emily brushed her hair out of her face and panted. Her eyes were wide with fear and shock.

'Are you okay, Emily?' asked Rebecca.

'I think so,' said Emily as Murphy put her back on her feet, 'I'm just a bit shaken.'

Murphy wrapped his arms around Emily and stroked her hair.

'Thanks for catching me,' said Emily, 'I thought I was gonna fall to my death.'

'It's a four foot ladder,' said Murphy, 'worst that could happen would be you breakin' a leg.'

Emily smiled and hugged Murphy. Rebecca smiled.

'Well, I'll go hang out with your brother,' said Emily, 'Murphy can finish the tree.'

After the tree was finished, the gang sat in front of the fireplace drinking hot chocolate. The girls told the boys old Christmas stories.

'Our Dad would read us The Night Before Christmas every Christmas Eve,' said Emily, 'he'd read it to us in front of the fire.'

'I miss those days,' said Rebecca with a sigh as Connor stroked her hair.

'They'll be doing that again this year for the younger kids,' said Emily, 'I love Christmas with Mom and Dad.'

The boys smiled and kissed the girls' foreheads. The girls smiled.

'This is your first Christmas with us,' said Connor, 'how does it feel?'

'It feels nice to finally have boys who aren't stuck-up Richie Riches,' said Rebecca, 'you two are better for us.'

'Aww,' said Connor, holding Rebecca.

Emily sighed and snuggled into Murphy's chest. Murphy kissed her forehead.

The girls sighed contently in the boys' arms. Yup, this is gonna be a magical Christmas.
