Seajae was up at four-thirty. Faith was there by five and the other
women tricled in by six-thirty. Seajae waited till they were all there
before she ran to the store to see what everyone needed.
"Let's get the shopping lists out ladies. I will make one, I repeat one trip to the grocery store, Several to the corner liqour store." They all handed her their lists. "Okay and I promise when I get back I will have a play by play acount of last nights activites. If you can't wait Faith and Angela can fill you in. Tatianna your with me."
"Hey Seajae?" Kim was halling mixing bowl to the large counter. "When's you special delivery coming?"
"About noon. The turkey's at three, beer at six. We're just putting the keg out on the porch. We are now up to twenty people. "
"You didn't?" Faith looked at her. "Tell me you didn't."
"Carlos....Jason and his girlfriend."
"You did. Bosco is going to flip his lid Seajae."
"No he's not. We talked it over. Everythings cool." "Faith and Kim know where everthing is. Bosco's gone so feel free to roam free." Seajae and Tatianna headed out the door. "Oh yeah Angle's bottle is in the fridge,cearal in the cubbard. See you."

Three hours later Taitianna and Seajae returned loaded with bags. Sully, Ty, Caleb and Bosco had returned from where ever four grown men go at six-thirty on a cold November morning. They all halled up the bags to the apartment. The other woman were busy makeing crust and what ever else they were makeing. Angela sat rocking Angle in the corner of the room. While the friends talked and joked around Seajae and Tatianna slipped into the bedroom.
"Go into the bathroom and take the test. It takes like three minutes." She hugged her friend. "Good luck." Seajae went back into the living room. The men where gone. "Did we scare them away?"
"They went over to my place and do Man things. What ever that is. They said when ever we're ready they'd hall the tables up." Faith was cleaning vegtables by the sink. "Does Bosco know about his Christmas present?"
"Unless you or Sully blabbed, he shouldn't." Seajae smiled.
"Like the rest of these guys wouldn't?" Faith glared at her and thn laughed.
"Naaa. They don't talk to him as much as you. And Sully just can't keep a secrets." Tatianna came out of the bathroom. A big smile on her face. Seajae looked up. She smiled back. "Tatianna is going to make a couple of Russian dished that sound really good. What were they called again..." Seajae tryed to divert attention. They all started sharing receips and soon they were all elbow deep in flour.
*****
At noon the TV arrived. The guys had disappeared again so it was easy to sneak it in. Seajae and the ladies sat and watched Days of Our Lives on the 52 inch set. Then they went back to work.
At three o'clock they had twelve pies, six different salads. enough potato's pealed to feed the upper east side and two Russian dishes that smelled as good as they looked. The turkey's arrived right on time and Seajae stored them on the porch.
At four all the food was ready. So the woman drank. And talked. Kim was sitting next to the Seajae on the couch. "Are we all sleeping here tonight?" She laughed.
"Bosco would be in heaven. Come home to all these woman passed out in his house."
"Hah. He's so in love with you we all could be naked and all he's see was you. "
"Ahh your sweet." Seajae looked at her friend. "Jimmy is an moron. That man needs to have his eyes and brain and heart checked. You are like the best thing that ever happened to him. "
"We will work it out. Sooner or later." At eleven thirty the guys walked in. The women were watching Steel Magnol's and balling there eye's oot. They didn't even hear them come in.
"Oh jesus. What the hell happened here?" Sully wispered to Bosco.
"Wonder where the TV came from?" Bosco leaned agaist the kitchen counter.
"How much do you think they had to drink?" Ty walked over to the recycle cabinet and opened it.
"How full was this thing this morning Bos?"
"I just emptied it last night, why?"
"I count seven wine bottles and a malibu bottle." Bosco closed his eyes and laughed.
"They are going to be hating life tomorrow morning, Should we go scrape our woman off the furniture boys." Bosco walked into the living rooma and cleared his throat. The woman turned around and all stood up.
"Merry Christmas!!!" They yelled. Seajae came around the couch, She put her arm around his shoulder.
"Do you like it?"
"I love it Seajae." He kissed her. "So other then watching sappy movies on my christmas present what have you ladies been up to other then cooking?"
"We had a few little drinky winkys." She turned and saw Ty, Jimmy , and Sully standing in the kitchen. "OOOO you brought back up. That's good cause I was afaid we'd have to carry eveyone home."
"Seajae..."
"Don't Seajae me...we cooked all day to feed you guys and what do we get...lip cause we took a little break."
"A seven bottle break?" He smiled and hugged his wife. "I"ll help our freinds get their woman to their cars and then you'll get yours." Seajae kissed him.
"Promise!" She laughed. "Tatianna's sober as a judge and Faith went home an hour ago . Your mom passed oout in Angles room. She was going to stay anyways." The ladies had sobered up a bit as they headed out. "See you all at ten." She smiled hoping she regained consiosness by then.

Bosco stood looking at Seajae's gift. She came from checking on Angle. Standing behind him she wrapped her arms around him and put her chin on his shoulders.
"What's going through your sick little mind Boscorelli?"
"Nothing really. Thank you." He turned and kissed her. "Your drunk Boscorelli."
"Naaa, Just a little tipsy. We had fun. So what did you guys do all morning?"
"Jimmy needed some help with something."
"You guys seem to be getting along really well."
"Yeah. Other then the sex addiction thing he's not a bad guy." He turned and wrapped his arms around her. "I can think of worse things to be addicted too."
"You ready for bed?"
"About six hours ago. Come on." They headed for the bedroom and a short nap till it stared all over again tomorrow.
**** Dinner went off without a hitch. Friends and family alike had too much food and football. They all gave thanks for being together and staying that way. Seajae stood up halfway though dinner and made a speach that made even Sully shed a tear.
"Friends and Family I give thanks to all of you. Without you, I would not be standing here today. Y'all have given me the courage to stand up to a demon that haunted me for nearly half my life. Each and everyone of you had a part in my rebirth and recovery. Each of you touched me in a way that I can never repay. You guided me in the direction I needed to go. I give thanks to Angle Boscorelli, for without her the wonderful man I married would never be born. To Maurice Boscorelli, who taught me that love can conqour anything and everything and who gave me the greatest gift of all in our Angle. To Faith, Harle and Emily without them I wouldn't know how to give with all my heart.....and to Caleb who tought me to forgive is to become free,
And to all my friends her today...Kim, Jimmy, and Joey, Ty and Alex, Sully and Tatianna, Doc and Olivia and Carlos who have taught me though the last three years that family has nothing to do with blood and everything to do with love. Thank you all for giving me the love and support I need to become a stable,,okay some what stable member of the huuman race." Seajae wiped her tears. "I love you all." They all cheered and all together yelled
"BOSCORELLI YOU ARE SOOOOOO CUT OFF!"
"Let's get the shopping lists out ladies. I will make one, I repeat one trip to the grocery store, Several to the corner liqour store." They all handed her their lists. "Okay and I promise when I get back I will have a play by play acount of last nights activites. If you can't wait Faith and Angela can fill you in. Tatianna your with me."
