**Happy Holidays**
Starring: Kristin Maddox, Scott, Martin and Elaine Barringer, Peter Scarbrow. Little bit of Kristin's dad in Chapter 1-2
Disclaimer: I do not own any Higher Ground characters. However, I do own Kristin and the Maddox family.
This story takes place around Christmas, 2 months after "Secrets" does. IF you haven't read Secrets I suggest you do before this because lots of characters (Kristin, her family, Brandon) were introduced in Secrets and you won't get the plot if you haven't.
**************************************
Peter, Sophie, Kristin and Scott were seated in the den. It was 2 weeks before Christmas and they had a dilema. Scott wanted Kristin with his family. His dad was back together with Elaine and his dad wanted him home for Christmas, and Kristin didn't want to go to her house-not that Peter/Sophie/Scott would let her- and he didn't want her to be alone. Plus, his dad hadn't seen her since she was 5 and Elaine-as much as he hated her-had never met her. Like she deserved it, was all Scott thought.
But Kristin's dad wanted her home for the Holidays with Steven. Kristin's mom had, turned out, filed for a divorced before she came to Horizon, her dad just never told her. Krisitn had been really depressed about this, and Scott wanted her to be happy for once.
**earlier that week**
"I don't see why you don't just turn in the bastard, him get arrested and put in the electric chair!" Scott cried when Peter told him their was a possibility that Kristin wouldn't be going hope with him. "It's not that simple, Scott. Kristin doesn't want us to tell, and even if she did, he wouldn't go to jail, I promise you." Peter explained. "Why?" Scott demanded. "He is a former police officer. She has ran away 5 times since she was 8 and all times charges has been pressed for abuse and dropped. Why? He was in the force, Scott." "That's bullsh-" "Watch it!" Peter sighed. It seemed like all he had been saying was watch it to his kids lately. Even Brandon had almost said something. "She's not goign home, I promise you." Peter assured him. "Whatever." SCott said and had stomped out of his office.
***Back to the future:)***
"Well, seems like Scott, your dad said he would love to have Kristin over. He knows what her dad did to her-Krisitn grimaces-and he said he would love for nothing more for his son and niece to be over." "Really?" Kristin cried. "Yep. Problem is, since you don't want us to tell, your dad still has legal custody of you and want you to come home for Christmas." Peter said. Kristin's smile dropped. She stopped talking. Peter looked at Sophie, they both had worried faces. When she stops talking like she just did it usually meant she was going to shut down. "Kristin, do you want us to tell?" Sophie asked. "I don't want to go home. But if he finds out I told, he'll kill me. He's not kidding! He stabbed me before...on my leg." Peter looks away to avoid the pain in Kristin's eyes and so she wouldn't see the pain in his face. "He won't, I promise." Peter said. "Whatever." Peter wanted to snap 'Do you 2 have a fond likeness for the word whatever' because that was all they used when they didn't want to talk But he didn't. He had learned to be patient with Kristin.
Peter remembered his conversation with her Dad earlier:
Robert (Her dad): Mr. Scarbrow?
Peter: Yes? WHose this?
Robert: Robert Maddox, Kristin's dad.
Peter: Oh hi. What do you want?
Peter still got cold to her dad.
Robert: My kid. I mean, my kid to come home for Christmas.
Peter: See, we've got a situation, Robert. Scott Barringer-
Robert: So it WAS that little monster I saw-old Scotty boy.
Peter: Um, yes. Well, he is here, also. His dad, since he hasn't seen Kristin since she was 5, would like her to come home with Scott for Christmas.
Robert: SO? I'm the kids father!
Peter: Yes, I know that. It's just...she doesn't seem to fond of the idea of going over to you. She would like to stay with Scott and visit her Uncle Martin and her new Aunt.
Robert: Elaine?
Peter: YES.
Robert: So.
Peter: We can't force her to go with you.
Robert: Well I want her to.
Peter: Listen, Mr. Maddox, I haven't asked her officially, but if she says she doesn't want to go with you but with Scott, then that's what she's going to do.
RObert: Fuck your school, then! She can go with her little Uncle and his new little wife. And tell Scott I said hi. And I saw him that day.
CLICK!
(A/N: To understand the last part you must've read Secrets, about when Scott hid behind this bush. You won't understand this story if you haven't!)
Peter was stunned.
***Back the future...part2***
"Kristin, I can't force you to go with your Dad. If you want to go with Scott, it's up to you. I need an answer. Now." Peter said firmly. "What do you think?" She squeled and hugged Scott. "Can you call my dad, Peter?" SCott asked. "Sure." "Good. Me and cuz need some more catching up to do. Plus we need to plan!" Scott declared and Kristin and SCott ran off.
