Chapter 37

Just Preparing

The last week had been hectic for me. Only 10 more days till Christmas and I still had to buy gifts for half of my friends and family. Today Ron and I had planned to put up the decorations, yesterday my family came over to put up the outside. Nana had came down early because of the weather and we decided, since we have a chance of getting a storm, we put the decorations up then. The decorations were in the basement, I can't believe I'm going to say this, but... until our third Christmas in this house, Ron was afraid to even go down stairs, not even to do laundry. It took him till I got the stomach flu for a week to get him down there, that and that I told him for when I get better I would make it up to him... that got his white but moving.

Right now I was, again, breastfeeding Shannon. She was only four months old now, and only five more months till my mom suggest that I bottle-feed her. It actually had came to the point where that Ron nor Monique coming in on me feeding her that it was normal. When I told Mom this, she laughed and said that she had the same thing happened to her.

Ron was down stairs bringing up the decorations. It was a normal routing, Ron brought up the decorations, I get to wrap the gift (he has... issues when it comes to wrapping); he puts up the tree, I get to place the Mistletoe; he bakes the cookies, I get to eat them; and then we both decorate the rest of the house together. Rufus of course helps... its not like we leave him out.

When we're done we watch The Grich with Jim Carry as Grich. Its our favourite Christmas and a very funny movie to watch.

This year we have Shannon with us. That means, even at 4 months, she needs to par-take in the events. This is going to be fun...

An hour later, all the boxes were upstairs in the living room and Shannon was changed. Ron had put up the tree and I had placed the Mistletoe right above where the table would be going. Now all we had to do was decorate it...

I halved Shannon in my arms and placed her on my hip. Then we started. In the end, Shannon had put up 5 balls, 2 snowman, and my personal favourite, the stuffed Shego decoration that I hand made after her death. I did it because I love her. Not a sexual kind of love, but still love.

For nobody to feel left out, I made a little city and put all my friends and family but they went on top of the fire place that my dad installed when I was in University. Shego was the only lucky one to go on the tree, nobody else was dead...

In the city I have, me, Ron, Rufus, Mom, Dad, Ron's Mom, Ron's Dad, Hana, Monique, Jim, Tim, Wade, Bonnie, Jr, there two kids, Josh, Tara, Uncle Slim, Joss, Drakken, Drakken's Mom, Nana, Betty, Yori, Team GO, and, believe it or not, Barken. All that is left is Shannon.

That night I had fallen to sleep on the couch wish Shannon in my arms, dreaming about Shego, both of us, and about each other.
