Chapter 14: Merry Christmas

LeAnn stopped by to see 7 years old Faith Carter and her mother Jamie Carter while Landon Carter were working. Landon and Jamie watch one more year to have a baby. Jamie is 6 month pregnant; Jamie and Faith had got along perfect. This was the year that Hegbert was coming up to Beaufort to visit them. Cynthia was coming too and Worth was with his girlfriend Anne but they're going to visit.

"LeAnn come with me," said Faith

"Ok"

Faith was holding LeAnn hand and she followed her to her bedroom.

"Do you want to see my Christmas list LeAnn?" asked Faith

"Sure Faith if must be lovely"

Faith was so excited to show LeAnn her Christmas list

There's a song that's inside of my soul

It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again

Faith gave the list to LeAnn. LeAnn got her reading glasses and she saw the child writing and LeAnn saw the list

"Dear Santa, All I want this Christmas, is a baby sister, please try your hardest

Love Always Faith Carter

LeAnn saw Faith's face and she was very lonely. She only had one friend named Rebecca who was with her family in Texas this Christmas.

I'm awake in the infinite cold

but you sing to me over and over again

An hour later Hegbert showed up and Jamie gave him a big hug looking at how beautiful Jamie has gotten.

"Jamie you look amazing," said Hegbert

"Thank you Mr. Sullivan" said Jamie

"Please call me Hegbert," said Hegbert

"GRANDPA" shouted out Faith

Faith went running into her grandfather's arms. Faith smiled and she loved see him because he always reminded her of her mother.

" I missed you Faith," said Hegbert

"I missed you too" said Faith

Then Landon, Anne. Worth and Cynthia came in.

"Ho ho ho merry Christmas" said Worth

"Everyone here" said Faith

Everyone sat under the tree to open up presents. Landon and Jamie were next to each other looking Faith in her excitement. Hegbert gave this present to Landon. Landon looked at the present; I looked a little small. Landon calmly opened the present. It was a video tape of the play that Landon and Jamie did in high school. Landon walked over to Hegbert and hugged Hegbert

"Thank you" said Landon

"You're welcome" said Hegbert

"Everyone I have good news for Anne and I" said Worth

"That is it Worth" said Cynthia

"We don't know to say this." started Anne

"We are getting married" said Worth

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands

and pray to be only Yours

I pray to be only Yours

I know You're my only hope
