-Chapter Twelve-

Christie and Craig spent Christmas Eve with Joey and Angela. Christie brought her a cute pair of pink pajamas and for Craig she brought a new photo album, in which she had already placed some pictures that they had taken or that had been taken of them.

Craig's present for Christie was a gorgeous silver band that had roses engraved on the outside and on the inside it said "Craig and Christie".

"Craig this is beautiful," she said giving him a hug.

They spent the next day with Spike, Emma and Snake. After dinner Spike brought out a huge tray of dessert.

"Wow, Mrs. Simpson. That's a lot of."

Emma and Christie looked at each other, chiming in at the same time. "We know"

"When Emma told be Spike was a big baker during the holidays I never imagined, THIS," said Christie," you should take a plate, or two, home."

Craig nodded and finished the cookie he was eating. "I think Angie would enjoy that."

Emma and Christie offered to do the dishes while Spike and Snake chatted with Craig. When they got back into the room, the three of them were laughing.

"What's going on?" asked Emma.

"They were just telling me some stories about Joey back in the day. He was quite a kid, I'm gonna have to talk to him about some of this stuff."

Christie walked over and handed Craig the plate of cookies and such she'd wrapped up for him. He got up and took them from her," Well this has been fun, but I think I should get home. Thanks so much for dinner."

"You're welcome here anytime Craig," Spike called out.

Christie walked Craig to the door and they shared a quick kiss. "Drive safe," she said, as he walked out the door.

A/N: I know that this chap. was shorter than all of the others, but I just needed something to get me to the next part of the story. Keep reading, reviewing, and most of all ENJOY!
