A Family For Christmas-Ch 21
The next couple of days passed by and the weather did indeed change from in the 70's to in the 20's with show showers, Alisha was currently standing at the window looking outside. Derek walked over and said, "what's the matter baby girl"?, she looked up at him with her chocolate colored eyes and said, "tan we till go and see santa cwause"?, he tapped the end of her nose and said, "we sure can, as a matter of fact why don't you go and get your brother so we can go".
Alisha smiled and ran out of the room squealing, "Aussssss tome on we tan go see santaaaa", Penelope walked into the room and said, "somebody is really happy about going to see santa". Derek said, "she said that she has something special to ask santa for this year", she said, "do you have any ideas"?, he shook his head and said, "nope, not a one, well other than the things we already have for her".
Austin came through the house grabbing their coats, Derek helped Alisha on with her coat and Penelope said, "are we ready to see santaaaaa"?, Alisha and Austin in unison said, "yesssssssssssssssssss" as they ran out the front door. Derek said, "they are so excited this year", Penelope said, "it is so good to see them both so happy", he nodded his head and kissed her lips gently as they stepped out onto the porch and closed the door.
A few minutes later two very happy children were standing in line for their turn to sit on Santas lap, Alisha looked up at Penelope and said, "I can't wait to talkie momma". She giggled and said, "do you know what you want to ask santa for"?, she excitedly said, "yessssssssss", she looked at Austin and said, "what about you buddy, do you know what you want to ask santa for"?, he smiled up at her and said, "yeppppppp".
Derek smiled and said, "gonna give us any hints"?, they both shook their heads no and Derek said, "are you sureeeeeee"?, they both laughed and nodded their heads yes. It wasn't long before Austin was sitting on santas lap, he said, "what can Santa get for you Austin"?, he grinned and said, "how did you know my name"?, Santa winked at him and said, "because santa sees and knows all".
Austin grinned and leaned in and whispered, "my momma hit her head and can't remember any of us, can you please please help her get her memory back"?, he then looked up and Santa said, "don't you want Santa to get you something for you like a truck or game or something"?, he shook his head no and said, "the only thing I want for Christmas is for momma to get her memory back".
Santa smiled and said, "I'll see what I can do", Austin hugged Santa and said, "thank you Santa, thank you", he smiled and said, "you are very welcome Austin,
very very welcome". Alisha grinned happily as Santa lifted her up and said, "and what can Santa get for you Alisha"?, she said, "wowwwwwww you knoweded my name awwady".
He laughed and said, "I sure do and I know that you have been a very good girl this year", she nodded her head and said, "me been good", he tapped the end of her nose and said, "so what do you want Santa to get you for Christmas"?, she leaned in and said, "my momma can't member us, her falleded and hitteded her head and gots a boo boo".
Santa said, "so you want Santa to help your momma get her memory back"?, she nodded her head and said, "pweaseeeeeeee", he said, "don't you want a dollie or teddy bear"?, she said, "no fanks me want you to help momma, me no need noffin but momma to get her memowy back". Santa smiled and said, "I promise you that I will do everything I can to help you and your brother".
Alisha wrapped her little arms around his neck and said, "fank you sooooooooo much", she then kissed his cheek and said, "I lub you Santa", he said, "and I love you to Alisha". Santa sat there watching as the two happy children walked out toward the door hand in hand with their parents, his elf leaned down and said, "there goes two very special little children".
Santa nodded his head and said, "that they are, that they are" and he couldn't help but grin when Derek leaned over and picked Alisha up and kissed her chubby little cheeks. Derek said, "did you talk to Santa"?, she nodded her head and said, "uh huh", Penelope said, "what about you baby boy, did you talk to Santa Clause to"?, he said, "yep and now he knows what we truly want for Christmas momma".
Penelope wrapped her arm around her son and said, "how about we go get some hot chocolate"?, she laughed as Derek, Austin and Alisha all three said, "yeahhhhh"
in unison. She giggled as they headed over to the booth, after getting 4 hot chocolates they sat on the bench and laughed and talked for a few minutes before they headed to the store to pick up a few more things for their Christmas plans.
