* Amy's reveling Christmas meeting *

Meg hadn't expected this week to be so different but, at the same time, so pleasant. She was spending the holidays in sunny Florida with John and his family, and so far, she was enjoying it. John's mom, Fiona, and her husband Steve had a very big house near Orlando. Steve had two daughters who had one kid each, so they had visitors often. Fiona and Steve have welcomed them with open arms at the airport and they instantly made Meg and Rose feel part of the family. Fiona took little Rose under her wing in the afternoon, teaching her to bake cookies and giving Meg and John some quality time to spend alone together. John's little brother, Brandon, and his wife Fey arrived from California on Christmas eve with their baby boy Connor, who was now Rose's favourite person to play with. Meg got along great with her future sister-in-law and they shared advices and stories about their kids.

Christmas morning had been as delightful as the previous day. They got up very early, had a lovely breakfast and opened presents. Rose was very happy with the toys and books she had gotten, but the best present was a 2-day pass to Disney World.

It was very early hours on Boxing day when Meg was woken up from her sleep by the sound of her phone. She groaned, reached out and picked it up.

"Hello?" she mumbled.

"Meg? You ok?" the other voice asked. Meg sat up, covering her body with the sheet and making sure John wouldn't wake up.

"Amy? What is it? Are Marmee and dad alright?" she asked, obviously worried.

"Yeah, yeah. They're fine." Amy answered, casually.

"Is Beth sick again? Has Jo got into trouble again?" Meg asked.

"No, no. Beth's good and Jo's been on her best behavior... oddly." Amy said.

"Then what are you doing calling me at 4:30 in the morning?" Meg asked slowly moving her feet as she was about to get up from bed.

"Where you going?" Amy heard someone ask.

"Outside. Amy's on the phone and I don't want to wake you up." Meg answered

"It's chilly outside. And that sheet won't keep you warm at all. Just stay here. I'll keep you very warm and don't say a thing." John said as he wrapped an arm around Meg's waist. Meg rolled her eyes, sighed and laid her head on top of his chest.

"Am I interrupting something?" Amy asked, mockingly.

"Yes. Our sleep." Meg answered.

"Really? And I thought you were giving John his Christmas present." Amy teased, giggling.

"Amy!" Meg exclaimed.

"Oh, come on, Meg! Really? No Christmas sex at all? John would be very..." Amy started before Meg interrupted her.

"If I say yes, that happened before you called, will you be a darling and be done with it and tell me the real reason why you're actually calling me?" Meg said, a bit annoyed.

"Was it good? Did he do what you like? Was he on top or..." Amy asked mischievously. Meg sighed.

"God! I knew watching 'Sex & The City' with you and Jo was going to bite me some day!" Meg exclaimed regretfully and sighed. "Yes, it was great. Now, unless you have an extremely good reason to call me at 4:45am other than trying to make me talk about my sex life in front of my fiancé, then I strongly suggest you to..." she started as she was slowly closing her eyes before Amy cut her in.

"I kissed Laurie." she blurted out. Meg's eyes opened up like big plates and she sat up so suddenly that jolted John awake.

"You what?" Meg asked, shocked, pulling the sheet up to her neck.

"We were in his porch talking after everyone had gone to bed and we looked up the sky and suddenly noticed there was mistletoe above us, so we looked at each other, and the next thing I know, I was kissing him!" Amy explained.

"wow! that's... wow!" Meg exclaimed.

"I'm such a fool, Meg! I ruined everything! I'm sure he doesn't want to see me again! And here I was so happy-go-lucky and..." Amy started to ramble about, almost hysterical, before Meg cut her in.

"Cheek or lips?" she asked which totally made Amy shut up and made John look at her, confused.

"huh?" Amy asked.

"Where did you kiss him: cheek or lips?" Meg asked again.

"oh... erm... lips." Amy answered.

"short or long?" Meg asked. These were the type of questions they usually asked each other after dates in their teenage years. John tried to ask Meg something but she shushed him with her hand.

"...medium? I don't know! It wasn't just a peck. It was... longer. Maybe nearly a minute." Amy replied.

"Tongue?" Meg asked.

"Plenty." Amy said assuredly.

"Yours or his?" Meg inquired.

"Both." Amy said as her cheeks got suddenly red and hot. Meg giggled.

"Did he pull away abruptly and shocked?" Meg asked. Amy was silent for a minute.

"Well... no. He... pulled away slowly and... and he smiled at me." Amy said as she was realizing what just happened. Meg smiled.

"And neither of you were drunk?" Meg asked.

"No. Just... a glass of sider and that's all." Amy answered.

"Then, I'm more than sure that you didn't ruin anything, Amy. You just... started something." Meg said.

"What if he regrets it?" Amy asked.

"I don't think so, sweetheart. You've said you two have been getting closer lately. It was just a matter of time." Meg said as she laid down again and snuggled closer to John.

"But... him and Jo..." Amy started.

"Him and Jo have been nothing for years! They only had... what?... three proper dates?... before they realized they worked better as friends. And you've been practically in love with him since you were 11. I say go for it!" Meg said.

"Really?" Amy asked, hesitantly.

"Really. It's your moment, girl." Meg encouraged her.

"So... now I just..." Amy started.

"Go to bed, sleep, and tomorrow you go and talk to him." Meg said. Amy just nodded her head.

"Thank you, Meg! I don't know what I'd do without you. So... I'll let you go back to your hot..." Amy said.

"My hot and splendorous sleep before I'm being awaken again at 7am by my 6-year-old who's gotten a 2-day trip to Disney World from Santa that starts tomorrow before heading back home." Meg said as John trailed kisses on her neck.

"Ok, then... sweet dreams!" Amy said before hunging up. Meg sighed and hung up, thinking about her baby sister finally making her teenage dream come true before being interrupted by John's kiss as he brought her back on top of him. Yes. It was quite a pleasant time for her and she could totally get used to it for the rest of her life.
