It is a week before Christmas and everyone is getting ready for the big day. This will be a first Christmas in California for most of them. They will be dreaming of a White Christmas but maybe some Christmas magic will come their way. The boys were excited about Christmas but missed Port Charles right now because of the snow. There were a few visitors who were coming to spend the holidays with the Morgans and Spinellis. Emily and Nicholas had a place down the road. It was a very special time of year but even more special because of the loved ones that everyone thought was gone but weren't.
Monica had her own room with Jason, Elizabeth and their boys. Mac and Felicia were spending Christmas with Maxie, Spinelli and Georgie. Felicia loved her little Rosa and she was heart of the Scopio/Spinelli family. Georgie and Milo were still dating and thinking about getting a place of their own. They both loved living with Spinelli and Maxie but knew it was time to get a place of their own.
Robin kept in contact with Elizabeth and planned on going to California with Patrick and Emma for Christmas. The one surprise that Jason had was Carly. She was happy that Jason found someone but hated that he moved across the country. The thing that surprised Jason was that she never said anything. He should have known better. Carly talked to Michael and Morgan about Christmas. Michael told her that he and Kiki were invited to Jason's place for Christmas and New Year's. Michael had been wanting to visit since they moved there and Christmas was the perfect time. Morgan was going with Ava back to New York City for the holidays. Carly felt alone because her daughter was spending Christmas break with Jax. "Michael do you have room for one more going to California? I could get a hotel room on the beach close by and that way I can see Jason without anyone knowing. I just don't want to be alone for the holidays." Michael looked at his mother and sighed. the others may not like it as much. I know that there are a few more people coming from Port Charles that will be staying in Malibu. Patrick, Robin and Emma are also going. It is a big deal for everyone. This is there first Christmas there so it is important that it is as drama-free as possible. I love you, mom but you are not drama free. We are leaving tomorrow, early. You need to be at the airstrip for 9. If you are late, we are leaving. Okay." Michael hugged his mother.
Jason called Carly when Michael told him the news. "I am happy that you are coming here. I have a suite at a really nice hotel on the beach. You will be five miles from us if that. You are invited here for Christmas Eve but you have to promise to be on your best behavior. I know you mean well but sometimes it is hard for you to control yourself around my wife. Elizabeth only wants to make me happy and our boys. Just try to be gracious around her and my family. I will not have any fights or cattiness from you. Just know that I still care what happens to you but my priorities are for my family and sanity." Carly promised to behave and once they hung up, she started her packing. She also knew that she needed to get some shopping done before she left. She called Olivia and told her that she would be gone for the next week and that she was in charge.
Elizabeth, looked at her husband and started to laugh. "I can't believe that you made Carly promise to be nice to me. You know that will never happen. There is going to be so much love and happiness in our home that not even Carly can ruin it. Robin called and said that her, Patrick and Emma are flying in this afternoon. I believe that she said that they will be landing in an hour. Maxie wants her cousin to stay with them but they just don't have the room. I told Maxie, that we have plenty. The boys can't wait to see Emma. Emily, Nicholas and Spencer are coming over Christmas Eve. Monica will be going back with them that night and will be back for dinner on Christmas. I have set up a room for Michael and Kiki. It is just down the hall from Monica. I can have a room set up for Carly if you think it would be better than down the road. I realize that you don't want to trouble me but I really don't have a problem with her. She just needs to know that you are my man and not hers. I am not into sharing. My grandmother called and sent her regrets but she is not feeling up to flying this year. I think that I might have to fly to Port Charles for a couple of days to check on her. Steve is busy too so he can't be here. I have also got the rooms ready for Emma and her parents. Emma is down the hallway from the boys and Patrick and Robin are next to hers. I never thought that we would truly have a full house but it looks like we do this year." Jason kissed the top of her head and twirled her around.
"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am so blessed to have a great wife and wonderful family. I sometimes wake up and forget where I am for a second and then I see your beautiful face and know that I am living my dream. Speaking of dreams. Did I tell you that Spinelli and I are going to start our own construction company? We found a piece of property not far from here and it already has a building already for us to move into. Once the homes are being built I thought that you and Maxie could work together on the staging. I heard that the best way to sell a house is to make it a home. How does that sound? We could do our own flips. There is plenty of properties that we could do that would make us money and keep us occupied. I don't want to get back into the business and into Sonny's world.
Robin, Patrick and Emma finally made their way to the Morgan's. Jason's plane landed on the airstrip and Elizabeth met them with her truck. "Climb on in, I am so glad that you all made it here. The weather is perfect. How is Port Charles?"
Robin laughed. "I believe that it is 20 degrees and expecting some snow tomorrow night. Port Charles is going to have a White Christmas. This is what I call paradise. I can't believe that you live here. How far is it to your place?"
Elizabeth told them that they were already there but the house was just over the next hill. "Look over the cliffs. That is the Pacific Ocean. We are protected on three sides by the ocean. There is only a little part of the land that is not protected by our men or the water. I hope we can talk you into moving here permanently. Mac and Felicia love it here. Maxie and Georgie live just down the road from us one way. Nicholas and Emily the other way. I am sure we can find a piece of our property for you all to build your dream house. We can just bring Port Charles here to Malibu. Let me get you home. You all must be exhausted. If you are not then I suggest that we either go to the beach or just sun ourselves by the pool. There is nothing like this weather but I did hear that it may go down into the sixties tonight. We might need a sweater to keep us warm. Patrick at that point wanted to wipe that grin right off of Elizabeth's face."
Robin just looked at her husband. "Do I need to put you in a time-out? I can't believe how testy you are when you know she was just kidding with us."
"I am sorry, Elizabeth. It has been below freezing at least for part of the day; every-day since around Thanksgiving. I just need to thaw out my little heart and get out of my grinchness. I am so happy that we came here. Emma has been wanting to see the beach and your place since the first time the boys showed her pictures of here." Emma looked at her parents and they could see how happy being out there was for her.
They made it to the house and soon Emma was running in to see her friends. Jason came out and greeted Patrick and Robin. The housekeepers came out and gathered the Drakes' belongings. They brought them up to their rooms and went about their business.
Elizabeth showed Robin around while Jason showed Patrick his man cave. This was one place that neither Elizabeth nor Maxie wanted to go near. "Do you know if Maxie knows that we are coming? I think that she and Georgie should be here in a few minutes. Little Rosa is a sweetheart. You will love her. She looks a lot like Emma did when she was little." Robin took a peak outside and saw Georgie, Felicia, Mac and Maxie coming up the drive. Little Rosa was in her stroller being pushed by her proud daddy. Robin ran out to see her family. She was so happy that she got to be with everyone.
