It it 05:59. Usually not the time Jane is awake by, but today is an exception. She sits in her bed, her hands flapping with excitement. Joyce told her before going to bed that she is not to wake her and Will up until six.
She looks over at her digital clock and watches the numbers change to 06:00. She immediately gets off her bed and runs to Will's room. When she gets inside she nudges his sleeping form to wake him up. "Wha-what's going on?" he asks not fully awake. Jane points at his clock and he realises what time it is. "Oh yeah. Six. Merry Christmas Jane." he says sitting up.
She grabs his arm and tugs it to get him out of bed, her excitement is uncontainable. "I'm coming Jane I'm coming," Will says laughing at her enthusiasm. "Go you wake up Mom I'll be out in a minute." He watches as Jane runs off to their mother's bedroom, thinking to himself: you are a strange and wonderful thing Autism.
…
After having gone through all their presents they get down to their last ones. For Will it's an Atari, and when he sees it he is overwhelmed with joy, but it doesn't compare to Jane's reaction when she sees hers. She takes off the wrapping paper to see a square white box. She takes off the lid, and inside is a pink dress, the same pink dress that Jane saw at the mall in September and had a meltdown over when Joyce didn't have enough money to buy it. Her eyes go wide and she looks at her mother who smiles, "Merry Christmas baby."
Jane looks back at the dress and is so happy that she squeals whilst flapping her hands. After holding Joyce in a bone crushing hug, she takes her dress to her room to try it on. She doesn't take it off for rest of the day, not even when she goes to bed. But Joyce doesn't care, she's just happy that she's wearing it, and she does, a lot, so much that she has a meltdown when she can't, but she was happy, and that was all Joyce could ask for.
