Chapter Twenty-Nine

White Christmas

(Part 6 of "Christmas Vacation" Series)

It had been 2 days since they were snowed in and nothing changed. The ice wasn't melting, they couldn't even dig their way out with shovels or hammers, they couldn't start a fire in the chimney since they didn't exactly have wood, and the heater obviously wasn't going to work. The electricity was off and so was the phone line. None of the utilities worked, except for the toilet. The food was getting limited, considering they didn't have anything to heat things up.

And worst of all: Cat's cold turned into something violent. She was coughing constantly, unable to sleep properly. Beck ran out of the cough syrup the day before, so nothing could comfort her now. She was burning up, but constantly cold. She said her right side was hurting most, but the kids didn't think much of that. What all that matter was that Cat wasn't getting any better…just worse.

They didn't want to be alone, without each other, so they took refuge the warmest part of the house, which was the basement for now. They grabbed all the blankets and sheets and mattresses they could carry down. As Jade and Robbie went up to make everyone a bowl of cereal and some orange juice, Andre was watching the interaction between Beck and his fragile Lil' Red.

Cat whimpered. "Beck…my…my side won't stop…hurting." She struggled to say.

Beck looked absolutely helpless. "I know, my love. Stay strong. Someone will find us. You watch. Someone will rescue us. We'll get you to a hospital and you'll be fine."

Cat was panting in pain. "I hope so. This…this feels…bad." And she started coughing.

Andre saw Beck struggling not to cry. "Easy girl, easy." He quickly wiped a tear away before Cat saw it. "You're my strong girl. You'll be alright. You need to be okay for Sleepy. Sleepy needs his mommy." Beck smiled, motioning to the puppy laying next to Cat's head. "And…I need you too."

Cat forced a smile. "Just keep…praying."

Beck bit his lip till it bled. "I am. Trust me, baby, I am." His voice cracked.

Andre had to step out of the room, unable to handle the amount of devastation that was in the room.

Jade was done spraying Cat's hair down with water so she could put her hair in a ponytail. Cat sighed as Jade brushed her hair gently. "Thanks, Jade."

Jade rubbed her lips together, wishing Cat's voice didn't sound so weak. "No prob." She sighed heavily. "Don't worry about a thing, Cat. Beck, Andre, and Robbie are doing something to make sure someone who passes by with a helicopter notices the object. They'll rescue us. You'll get to a doctor."

"Let's hope so." Cat winced at the continuous pain in her side. "I don't think I'll last much longer with the sharp pains in my side. It's starting to feel unbearable."

"Well, bear with it." Jade threatened. "You need to be strong for me. For Beck. For the boys. For even that stupid rat dog."

"He's not a rat."

"It doesn't matter." Jade stayed in her serious tone. "You're going to be fine. You hear?"

Cat nodded after Jade finished with her hair. "I hear you. I'm trying."

The boys came back down to the basement. "Well…we made a signal." Beck said, sitting on his bed next to Cat's.

Cat laid back down as Jade stayed next to her. "How?"

"We used random hangers in the house, wire one, and made them all connect together. We grabbed a few big towels and superglue them onto the wires towards the top. We made it long enough so it's go a few yards above the chimney and let it stay there. The towels are bright colored." Beck looked over at Cat, who was flinching in pain. "Let's pray to God they find us soon."

"AHH!" Cat screamed, holding onto Beck's arm. "Beck! Help me!" She yelled in absolute pain.

Beck let his tears go. "I can't do anything! God, I feel so helpless!" He sobbed. "I don't know how to help you!"

Cat usually would try and comfort him, but the pain in her side was unbearable and so sharp, it felt like a knife was cutting through, slowly.

He heard footsteps rush down the stairs into the basement and looked up at Andre's relieved face. "People are here! They're getting us out with bulldozers!"

Beck sighed in relief. "Thank God!" He hoisted Cat into his arms as André ran over and grabbed Sleepy. "Did you hear that, Cat? We're saved!"

Cat just screamed into his shirt, gripping the material with her fists.

After a few minutes, they could see a bit more light coming through, meaning they were getting closer. "Almost there, babygirl!" Beck said, as she was getting weak in his arms. "Cat?"

Cat's breathing was getting shallow. "Beck…the pain…too much." And soon went limp.

"NO!" He yelled, startling everyone around him.

Jade saw Cat's unconscious form in Beck's arms and freaked. She ran over to the door and screamed. "HURRY! WE NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION! HELP US! HURRY! SHE'S DYING! HURRY! HURRY!" After a few minutes, they backed away from the door as the ice slowly shattered to the ground and Beck was the first one out.

Beck ran up to a safety worker. "Help her! HELP HER!"

He pointed towards the helicopter coming down. "That's the medical chopper! Here! I'll take you to them!" He motioned for Beck to follow him. Jade and the other boys stayed behind to talk to the rescue team. "She's unconscious!" The safety worker helping Beck out yelled as the helicopter nurses came out. "Get her to the hospital, ASAP!"

"I have to go with her!" Beck said in desperation.

"No, I'm sorry, son!" The nurse shook his head after taking Cat from him and putting her in the helicopter on a gurney. "You have to go with the rescue chopper if you're not hurt!"

Beck's eyes widened dangerously. "NO!" He tried to go, but the safety guard held him back. "NO! PLEASE! LET ME GO WITH HER! PLEASE!" He screamed out. The medical chopper started flying up and up, going in a random direction, out of Beck's sight. "CAT!"

Cat moaned as she woke up from unconsciousness and felt a stab of pain in her side. "Ow…" She put her hands there out of instinct, but gasped in pain when she felt stitches. "Ow!" She felt a hand go on her head and another one on one of her hands. She looked up and saw Beck's exhausted face staring back at her. "Beck? What happened? Were we rescued?"

Beck nodded. "Yup."

"How long have I been out of it?"

"A few hours, that's all." Beck gulped. "Our parents are on the way."

Cat looked around. "Where's Sleepy? Jade? Andre? Robbie? Are they alright?"

Beck sighed. "They're all perfectly fine and safe. Don't worry about them or anything. Just rest and recover. You need it."

Cat sighed. "I know."

"It was appendicitis." Beck whispered. "You're appendix was erupting, but unfortunately, since we couldn't get you medical attention in time, it burst." He paled. "Cat…if we weren't rescued…you would've…you would've…" Beck kissed her forehead. "I'm so happy you're alive."

Cat smiled. "Me too. I'm sorry this vacation went bad. Jade and I shouldn't have pressured you and the boys to go with us. We thought it'd be fun. But it turned into a nightmare." She said grimly.

"Everything else about the trip was amazing and fun-filling." Beck told her. "The only nightmare was…almost…losing you."

"Well, I'm here and not going anywhere." Cat reached up and ran her fingers through his hair. "I love you too much to leave you behind."

"Anywhere you go, I go." Beck told her, thinking the same thing she was. "Because we'll be together forever."

"And no one will ever keep us apart." Cat said sweetly. "Do you feel better?"

Beck shrugged. "I guess. I'm still a bit shaken up." He laid down next to her when Cat made room for him. He carefully wrapped his arms around her waist, careful not to touch the wound. Cat wrapped her arms around his neck, but ran her hand through his hair. "I love your touch, Cat." He whispered into the crook of her neck. "And even though I said I'm your protector…I feel so safe in your arms right now."

"You'll always be safe with me, Beck." Cat hummed. "I know something that will make you feel better…and it will comfort your nerves." She kissed his forehead."I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
Just like the ones I used to know.
Where the tree-tops glisten,
And children listen
To hear sleighbells in the snow.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
With every Christmas card I write,
"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white".

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

"May your days be merry and bright,
And may all your Christmases be white"."

Cat stopped slowly and then looked down at Beck's innocent sleeping face, as he was breathing softly against her neck, looking absolutely comfortable and safe in her arms. She leaned her head onto his and continued to play with his hair until she fell asleep as well. And that's how her parents found them, which they thought was adorable…

…so they took a picture.


Okay, guys, here's your next question! It's a pretty easy one, so try to make it a bit detailed. Not like 4 paragraphs long, but something besides "this song" kind of answer. If you win, you'll get the next chapter dedicated to you and you give us a song and we'll write a shortfic for you!

Next chapter's question: If one song were to describe your life, what would it be?

Ps…Izzy wanted to do this "15 Random Facts" thing, so it's on our profile if you would like to know 15 random facts about us. He's such a weirdo when he's bored and unable to do anything. He's arm is going to be in a cast for the next 7 weeks because he broke it in 3 places. Genius kid, I know. Oh god, I hope my son doesn't turn out like him.
