Perfect 3 of 3 – Boo's idea of a Perfect Christmas
Despite the fact that she and Chibs had made love long into the night, as they do every Christmas Eve, Boo is awake at 5am, but she chooses to stay tucked up in Chibs' arms 'asleep' because she knows how much they love to wake her.
She is certain that Chibs is awake too, despite his late night moaning that he was an old man and that he 'wasn't going to get at at five in the goddamn morning just because it's Christmas!'.
He'd moan more when they came bursting it to wake him, but Boo knew to take that moaning with a pinch of salt.
He'd want to get up because it made them so goddamn happy, because it made her so goddamn happy, and he wanted to see them and her alike happy.
At 5am on the dot, the door is thrown open with a loud and cheery cry of 'Merry Christmas!'.
And then a small sort of something jumps on the bed, pleads with Boo and Chibs to wake up because Santa has been!
It is their eldest child, Alex, who is five, and his deep brown eyes are glittering with Christmas excitement as he attempts to rouse his parents.
Their youngest child, Bonnie, who is two and has eyes like her mothers, is in her grandfathers arms and has just enough understanding of Christmas to know she is going to receive lots of toys.
Tig (who stays with them over the holiday period), is as full of excitement as his grandchildren, encourages this and mutters in her ear that she needs to wake up her parents so she can open her presents.
Chibs mutters incoherently in Gaelic, his words directed at Tig. Boo knows enough Gaelic to know Chibs has told his father-in-law that he is going to kill him when the children are asleep.
Tig just laughs, understanding enough Gaelic to know he was threatened but knows Chibs would never do such a thing.
Boo happily rolls out of bed, pausing only briefly to give Chibs a chaste kiss to the lips, and pulls on her dressing gown before taking Bonnie from Tig and excitedly telling her children then can go and open their gifts.
But the children what their Da to wake up too, and although Chibs protests that it is far too early and hides under his blankets he is chuckling affectionately and soon he too is clambering out of bed.
He then swoop his son into his arms and marches with him into the living room before telling him to sort out the presents and put them into piles.
Boo sits Bonnie on the floor in front of her gifts, warns her to wait until everyone is ready, then goes to make cups of tea for her and Chibs, coffee for Tig.
As Alex opens his gifts, and screams in delight with every one he opens, and Tig helps Bonnie open hers, Boo and Chibs cuddle up on the couch, drink tea and watch, both happy in the knowledge that their children are so happy with their gifts.
Chibs occasionally presses a kiss into Boo's curls and tells her that next year will be different...
Boo just rolls her eyes, smiles, fiddles with her wedding ring and pretends she didn't hear a thing.
She and Chibs have been married for years, Fiona was never a problem... she had divorced Chibs before he'd left Ireland.
Soon the children are done and are playing with their new toys (not the boxes as Chibs had predicted some time before!) and after Boo has cleared away all the rubbish, she Tig and Chibs exchange gifts.
Later, they manage to drag the children away from their toys long enough for breakfast. Boo insists they get dressed before they return to them.
When they do, Boo starts to tidy everything away, allowing the children too keep two toys out each, while Chibs naps for a little while.
As Tig watches over the children, Boo joins him in bed and pulls him out of his late morning slumber with kisses... Chibs soon stirs and they make love as quietly as they can before dressing and readying their family for dinner at Gemma's.
Tig gives them a look that tells them he knows what they were up too, but doesn't say a word.
All the children care about is more presents!
Chibs tells them they're spoilt as he buckles them in, but affectionately so... they get spoilt at Christmas yes, but the rest of the year is very different.
As Boo drives them to Gemma's and Tig follows on his Harley, Chibs calls Ireland and talks to Kerrianne, wishes her a Merry Christmas, asks if she liked her gifts, puts her on speaker-phone so she can greet her brother and sister, her stepmother.
She'll be joining them for the New Year but its nice to talk to her all the same. Alex and Bonnie tell their sister they can't wait to see her, reel off long lists of what Santa has brought them.
Kerrianne chuckles affectionately, thanks them for the dress they sent her (something they picked out themselves with a little encouragement from their mother) and tells them she'll be bringing them gifts when she visits.
She and Chibs then say goodbye as they have arrived at Gemma's, with the Scotsman telling his eldest child how much he loves her and Kerrianne returning the sentiment somewhat shyly.
Alex charges straight in the door at Gemma's, where he greeted by all the men of SAMCRO, Bonnie shyly follows, holding her parents hands, but soon relaxes some when Abel rushes over to hug her.
Soon she, Alex, Abel and Jax and Tara's other children are happily opening the presents the rest of their family has given them, overseen by Gemma who has taken a break from cooking to spend time with her many grandchildren.
Boo takes over, not at all helped by Chibs who keeps kissing her neck and wrapping his arms around her from behind, not stopping until Bobby pours him a large glass of whiskey and asks him to join him and the others outside for a cigar.
As the men smoke and drink, the children play and the women finish dinner before dishing it up.
SAMCRO then crowd around the table, laugh, talk, joke as they eat. The children are too excited to eat much, but for once Boo doesn't say anything. It is Christmas after all.
After dinner, as the children run off the last of their seemingly never-ending energy, Tig leaves to go and see Dawn and Fawn whilst Boo and Chibs cuddle on the couch and lazily watch their children go, talking with the rest of SAMCRO as they do so.
When the children finally start to fall asleep, Chibs and Boo gather them up and put them in the car, wish everyone Merry Christmas one last time before returning home and putting the children to bed.
Chibs shrugs off his clothes and crawls into bed, too tired too do much else. It has been a long fucking day for him and he just wants to sleep.
Boo unpacks the car before she joins him, finding herself now just as tired as he is.
Chibs doesn't hesitate in pulling Boo into his arms, in burying his face in her curls and telling her that he loves her. Boo returns the sentiment and wraps her arms around her husband, closes her eyes and attempts to fall asleep.
But it isn't long before Chibs suddenly gets a sudden burst of energy and insists they make love... Boo doesn't put up any protest, in fact she is already pulling off her panties...
Boo knows that some of her perfect Christmas will never happen, but she knows that only time will tell for the rest. She hopes beyond anything else, that she and Chibs will be lucky enough to have too wonderful children and that he can have Kerrianne back in his world.
Reviews would be loved; they are extremely motivational and make my writing more than worthwhile
