Flashback, 1991…
It was snowing outside as Angel and Sam slept side by side. Dean walked over to them before turning on the bedside lamp.
"Guys, wake up!" He shook Sam awake, knowing the noise would wake his sister, "Dad was here." He motioned behind himself to a little Christmas tree that was decorated with a few lights, "Look what he brought."
"Um…" Angel's eyes adjusted to the bad lighting as she peered behind her little brother, "What?"
Sam rubbed his eyes, "Dad was here?"
"Yeah." Dean chuckled as he motioned to the presents under the tree that Angel was now peering at suspiciously, "Look at this. We made a killing."
Sam yawned, "Why didn't he try to wake me up?"
Dean shrugged, "He tried to, like a thousand times."
"He did?"
"Yeah." Dean nodded, "Did I tell you he would give us Christmas, or what?" He motioned, "Go on, dive in."
Sam jumped out of bed and sprinted past Angel to the Christmas tree. He quickly scooped up two presents wrapped with Christmas themed gift wrap. One of them had a green shiny bow. Angel put her hands on her hips as she rose a brow to Dean, knowing exactly what was going on. He averted his eyes as he came to sit next to Sam on the couch. Angel stood above them on the other side of the couch as Sam unwrapped his first gift.
Dean smiled, "What is it?"
Sam frowned, showing the sparkly box to them, "Sapphire Barbie?"
"Probably Angels." She rolled her eyes as he chuckled, "Or maybe Dad thinks you're a girl."
Sam threw the barbie onto the ground with his own eye roll, "Shut up." He turned his attention to unwrapping the next present but found a cheerleading stick and looked back at Dean, "Dad never showed, did he?"
Dean's eyes went wide, "Yeah, he did, I swear."
"Dean, the jig is up…" Angel walked around the couch and plopped herself between them before looking to her little brother seriously, "Who'd you take all this from?"
He looked down and sighed, "Nice house up the block." Angel frowned disapprovingly as Sam looked away from him, "Look, I'm sure Dad would have been here if he could."
"If he's alive."
"Hey, don't talk like that." Angel tapped his shoulder, "We're talking about Dad here." She winked, "Of course he's alive."
Sam nodded but noted the sad expression on Dean's face. He took the present he wrapped from the pocket of his jacket that is lying over the arm of the couch.
"Here." He held it out to Dean, "Take this."
"No." Dean shook his head a little, "No, that's for Dad."
"Dad lied to me." Sam continued to hold out the gift, "I want you to have it."
Dean looked from the wrapped gift back to his little brother, "You sure?"
He nodded, "I'm sure."
Dean looked at it once more before taking it and unwrapping it to reveal a gold amulet on a black string.
"Thank you, Sam." He smiled as he put the necklace on, "I- I love it."
Sam nodded before his eyes went to his sisters, "Dean and I got you something too, Angie."
She cocked an eyebrow, "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah." Dean grinned before running to retrieve the wrapped item and handing it over, "Here."
With a smile the blonde opened it to reveal a simple silver chain cross necklace. She remembered she had admired the thing at one time while she was out with their Uncle Bobby. He must've got it for the boys to give to her. The sentiment warmed her heart as she smiled at the two of them.
"Thanks boys. Ill wear it all the time." She ruffled both of their before standing and putting it on, "What do you say we eat some brownies and watch some movies?"
"Yeah!"
"Awesome!"
Present day…
As Angel walked back into her brother's hotel room holding a bag of groceries, that same cross necklace hung around her neck. Much like the same amulet that hung around Deans. Neither of them were ever really apart from them. Ella Fitzgerald's 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' played making her brow furrow. Even more surprise hit her when she realized they boys had decorated the room with a Christmas tree amongst other decorations.
"Hey!" Dean grinned as he held up a cup of eggnog, "You get the beer?"
"Um… yeah." She looked around in amazement, "What is all this?"
"What do you think it is?" Sam grinned and then pointed to a small sign that said 'Merry Christmas' as it hung above the TV, "It's Christmas."
"Right…" She looked from Deans smirking face to Sam, who let out a deep breath, "What made you change your mind?"
"Here, uh…" Instead of answering, Sam poured a cup of eggnog and handed it over, "Try the eggnog."
Dean held up a bottle of whiskey as he sipped on his own cup, "Let us know if it needs some more kick."
Hesitantly she sipped it and coughed when the whiskey taste slapped her tongue. A look of surprise crossed her face as she recovered and looked to Dean who was proudly finning and nodding.
"No, no." Her voice came out hoarse before she cleared her throat, "Uh, it's good."
Dean grinned happily, "Yeah?"
"Oh yeah, yeah." She smiled back but her expression changed to toxicity once he looked away from her and she looked wide eyed to Sam who chuckled, "It's delicious."
Dean grinned happily, and a little drunk as he sat down on the motel chair, "Good."
"Well, uh, have a seat." Sam patted the space next to him on the couch, "Let's do… Christmas stuff, or whatever."
Angel looked at the Christmas tree, which was decorated with lights and car air fresheners, and nostalgia filled her. She grinned happily and took a seat next to him as she sat the grocery bag on the table.
"Alright, first things first." He and Sam take out two packages each wrapped in brown paper bags from under their seats, Dean held one out to each of them, "Merry Christmas, losers."
Angel smirked as she took hers, "Where'd you guys get these?"
Dean shrugged as he took another sip of the eggnog, "Someplace special."
Sam chuckled at that and the look he got from their sister, "The gas mart down the street." She chuckled and took the wrapped item he handed her, "Open them up."
"Just so you both know…" She reached into her bag, pulled out two packages that were wrapped in newspaper and handed one out to each of them, "Great Winchester minds think alike."
Surprised happiness crossed Dean's face as he and Sam took their gifts, "Really?"
"Of course." She smiled and motioned to them, "You two go first."
Dean motioned to Sam who opened his first gift, which was two porn magazines, and laughed, "Skin mags!" Dean nodded, satisfied with Sam's reaction and he opened the other gift from Angel, "Shaving cream."
"Moisturizing shaving cream. Good for the skin." Angel smirked, "You like?"
"Yeah." He smiled back at her as he nodded, "Yeah."
"Good." She turned her smile from him to Dean, "You're next, D."
Dean chuckled and unwrapped the gifts, "Look at this." He lifted the slice of pie from Angel and a bottle of oil from Sam, "Fuel for me and fuel for my baby." Angel and Sam each grinned, "These are awesome, guys. Thanks." He motioned to the two things in Angel's hands, "Alright, alright. It's your turn now."
With another smile Angel unwrapped her own gifts that consisted of a hot chocolate kit and her favorite candy, a king size reese's cup.
"This stuff is great guys." She smiled at the both of them, "Thank you. I love it."
Suddenly there was a bit of sadness in Sam's face as he forced a smile, "Good."
Sadness also clouded Dean's eyes as he lifted his glass of eggnog, "Merry Christmas, sis."
Her smile became sad as well as she made a toast with both of them, "Merry Christmas, boys.
The three of them sat silently for a second as they all contemplated that this was probably their last Christmas together. They each took a drink of their eggnog, Angel grimacing at the taste as Dean whistled softly at it.
"Hey, Angel, y-" Sam broke the silence but looked sadly at the blonde as he was about to say something, hesitation filled him before he hesitated and then sighed, "You two wanna watch the game?"
Angel smiled in relief, "Absolutely." She got up as Sam reached for the remote, "I'll go get the snacks." When a knock at the door sounded she frowned and looked at her brothers who were smirking at her, "Uh… you two expecting food delivery or something?"
"Maybe." Dean shrugged as he turned his attention back to the game, "Answer it."
Giving him an odd look she did as told and was surprised when she opened the door to reveal Asa standing before holding bags from Boston Market. He smiled as her mouth dropped and shuffled himself inside to escape from the now falling snow.
"Merry Christmas, beautiful." Pecking her still shocked lips he walked over and set the food down in front of the boys before shaking their hands, "Didn't know what you three liked so I picked up some roast chicken, meatloaf and mashed potatoes."
"That works." Dean excitedly pulled out the plates and food, and passed them along to Sam, "Thanks, man."
He nodded and looked to Angel who was shaking her head at him and smiling, "I thought you were spending Christmas with your mom."
"And miss this?" He took her hand and pulled her into his side on the couch before kissing her head, "Not a chance."
The four of them sat eating dinner and watching the winter football game as they sipped on eggnog. Ever so often the boys would glance at Angel and smile. She caught their looks and smiled back, winking a thank you to them for giving her this final Christmas moment with them.

Later on that night…
After the game, Angel and Asa made their way back to her room. The blonde smiled at him as she stepped out of the shower and into the bedroom wrapped in a towel. Asa was already lying down watching her with a smirk. He motioned to her and she crawled up on the bed to lay her head on his chest.
She sighed heavily, focusing on his calloused hand that was running up and down her arm, "I'm glad you came."
"Like I said, I wouldn't miss it." He used his other hand to bring her face up so she could see his eyes, "I love you."
A sad smile filled her lips as she melted into his gaze, "I love you, too."
Leaning down he kissed her softly, his lips matching hers perfectly. Angel melted into the kiss, into his touch, and let herself become immersed in the feeling of his touch. His hand moved underneath the towel to trail up her body, settling on her ribs. He moaned against her lips when her own hands traveled up his shirt and pulled him closer.
Separating from the kiss, Asa pulled back but moved so she was under him. He studied her face, sadness in his eyes, before he kissed her forehead. He moved down her face to her eyes, then her cheeks and nose before resuming on her lips. She pulled him closer as she wrapped her legs around him and ran her hands up his chest to his neck.
Soon the ache for him became too much and she slid her hands down his body as he trailed kisses down her neck. Quickly unbuckling his pants she slid them and his boxers down before he reached between them and aligned himself with her. Capturing her lips and moans in another kiss, he shifted his hips until he bottomed out and then stilled.
Running his hands down her body and over her legs he peppered kisses over her face again, "I love you so much, Angel." He rolled his hips steadily, savoring this moment and groaned in pleasure as she clenched around him, "You're amazing, baby."
Angel whimpered as the pleasure racked through her and grabbed onto his shirt. Her entire being was swelling from his tender touches and words. She couldn't imagine not having Asa by her side. He was the only man she really let love the real her, inside and out.
"Asa…" Her breath came out high and ragged from her breathing as she tensed under him, "Oh, God."
He leaned up to look at her as she completely unravelled beneath him. Her whimpers filled his ears as her body shook from the orgasm. One of his hands moved her leg higher as his pace fastened and she writhed from the sensation as she rode out the tremors. His head dropped to the crook of her neck and he groaned as his own release plowed through him. Warmth filled Angel as she clenched around him a final time before they both stilled and tried to catch their breath.
Some point later Asa separated himself from her, smiling and kissing her from the groan of protest he got in return. He pulled the blanket underneath them back before placing it over both of them pulling Angel into his chest once again.
She settled into him sleepily before placing a kiss to his now bare chest, "You're the amazing one."
