Usually Advent Calendars end at 24 days but here's an extra bonus chapter. Merry Christmas.
Rebecca and Nanna walked back to the living room arm in arm.
"Everything all right?" Dr. Holiday inquired.
"Just a little misunderstanding. But it's all right now." Rebecca smiled at Nanna.
"Nothing comes between family." Nanna replied as she sat back down in her chair.
Rebecca noted that there were less people in the room.
"Where is everybody?"
"Rex went upstairs with Matthew and Luke to play with their new Talking Sumo Slam Action figure or something like that. Sarah got Beverly and Caesar to play tea with her in the den. Bobo and Calan went back to Providence." Six answered her. He looked at her for a second.
"Do you want to go for a walk?"
The question surprised her. "Sure. Let me go get my coat."
When she got back he was already in his green overcoat with Rex's scarf around his neck. Rebecca smiled. He was a softie deep down.
They walked arm in arm aimlessly it seemed around the neighborhood.
"You ok?" Six asked.
"Yeah, really, she could have tried to make me tougher in a less emotionally scarring way." Rebecca muttered.
"Like you said. The past makes us who we are."
"Don't throw my words back at me." She laughed slapping him in the arm.
He smirked as he pulled her closer to him. "I also wouldn't want you any other way."
She turned to face him with a smile that made his heart beat faster.
"I do have a present for you but it's back at Providenceā¦."
"Don't worry. I'll see it when we get back."
"So I asked Calan to bring it here." He pressed his earpiece. "Calan?"
Suddenly, Rebecca realized that she was standing in front of her parent's house. A red portal opened up. She heard a roar of an engine. A blue Pontiac GTO drove through.
Rebecca's jaw dropped.
"Do you like it?" He asked nervously.
Rebecca couldn't answer for a second. She shifted her gaze back at Six.
"If you don't like it I can get a different one. I knew you needed a new car but I wanted you to have a nicer one than your last. Not that your last one wasn't niceā¦." Six realized he was starting to babble. He mentally kicked himself and told himself to shut up before he lost all dignity.
Calan walked up to her and handed her the keys.
"She purrs like a kitten." He gave her a wink and walked back through the portal.
Holiday's face broke into a smile. She threw her arms around Six's neck.
"Thank you. I love it but more importantly I love you."
Six smiled into her face and bent down to kiss her tenderly at first, then more passionately. But before it could get interesting there were sounds of screaming, crashing and glass breaking. Then more screams came from the house and something came smashing through the window. It was an electronic action figure going into what looked like the toy equivalent of epileptic seizures. "I'm gonna git you sucka, sucka, sucka, sucka." It was stuck on replay.
A myriad of voices shouting came from inside.
"What happened?"
"Rex!"
"What? It wasn't my fault!"
"Mom, it was awesome!"
"Rex made the toy come to life!"
"Mom, Luke and Matthew ruined my tea party!"
Six buried his head in Rebecca's shoulder and groaned while shaking his head. Rebecca laughed and comfortingly stroked his head.
"He'll grow up some day." She said reassuringly.
"Not if I get to him first." He growled as he turned to walk into the house. Before going he crushed the toy with his feet to put it out of its misery.
Rebecca smiled as she watched him stalk into the house. Her life was strange but she wouldn't have it any other way.
"Merry Christmas, everyone." She whispered as she walked into the house and shut the door.
Hope you've enjoyed it.
Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed. Thank you to lionsandtrolls, SirenSounds97, fanaticagenrex, valkyrieXhawk, That CrAzy Ch1ck, SDF, and to the guest(s) who reviewed. I appreciate it. I have a New Year's story coming up. Mostly HOLIX fluff. Then I am finishing a fanfic started by Asha Carcella called Hidden in a Blade. After that I think I'm taking a break. This is taking up too much of my life.
Merry whatever you celebrate and God Bless.
