Author's Notes: Thanks for reviews. For those of you who don't know, Eliza is now 5 years old, in Pre-school. I hope you're not getting confused with nicknames; I like it when little kids have different nicknames from their parents.

"Kitty, did you charge $200 to my card this week? I thought you already went shopping last week?" Pietro voice rang throughout the house as he checked the mail in the kitchen.

"I went again," She called out, "plus it wasn't only for me this time, it was for both of us."

"Who's us?" He sighed.

"Me and Annie of course," She replied.

Pietro walked into the family room, and what a sight he saw.

Eliza giggled, while her mother just laughed.

Kitty and Eliza were on their own exercise mats, in their own sizes, with matching outfits, sweatbands and all.

"Richard Simmons? Couldn't you at least get someone else to introduce our daughter to?" Pietro shut the TV off.

Kitty shook her head and sighed, "We were exercising, excuse you!"

"She doesn't need to exercise, she's only five! And you have Danger Room sessions, you don't need this! You spent $200 for all of this?!" He exclaimed.

"Well, I got other videos, and more matching clothes. Don't you think it's adorable?" Kitty pinched her daughter's cheek, "She matches me!"

"Yeah!" Eliza agreed.

"Like mother like daughter," Pietro shook his sat down in 'his' chair, watching the two.

"You know what Eliza?" Kurt asked.

"What?" She climbed onto his lap.

"My first Christmas here, I chased your Mommy around with a mistletoe," He laughed.

"What's a mistletoe Mommy?"

"It's a plant that has been in tradition for years and years that when two people are under it, they have to kiss," She replied.

"You liked my Mommy!" Eliza scrunched up her face together in disgust.

"Eliza!" Kitty laughed in shock.

"Yeah, of course, who wouldn't? She's beautiful, kind, sweet, and caring," Kurt added.

"Then how come you didn't end up with my Mommy?"

"Because I realized we were never more than friends," He patted her head.

"My goodness child! You ask so many questions!" Ororo picked her up.

Kitty mouthed a "thanks" to her.

"Nana Roro, tell me how my Mommy and Daddy met please?" Eliza begged.

Kitty's eyes widened at her daughter's questions, and quickly glanced at Pietro who was at the TV watching a game with the guys.

"Why, don't you ask your Daddy? I'm not sure when they met," Ororo placed her on Pietro's lap.

'Ororo, you're putting them on the spot,' Professor scolded.

'Professor, you have to admit, it's the perfect time for them to get together. Eliza's getting older, she's going to find out that they aren't together, they just a need a shove in the right direction.'

"Daddy, how did you meet Mommy?" Eliza asked playing with Pietro's face.

He glanced to where Kitty was, on a ladder, placing the star on top of the tree, and thought a while.

Jean opened the window, while Ororo sent a light breeze to help Kitty lose her balance.

Pietro placed Eliza down and caught Kitty just in time.

"Daddy! Look! You and Mommy are under mistletoe!" Eliza beamed.

Kitty blushed a bit and turned away.

Everyone was quiet as they watched the two after they heard Eliza's announcement.

Pietro put her down and waited for her to face him. She did, eventually, and Pietro drew closer so that they were only inches away.

Eliza waited with anticipation on the edge of her seat, everyone following her.

Pietro kissed her. It was like something inside him wanted to do this for so long, and here was his chance.

Kitty was overjoyed. This was the first kiss they had shared since that fateful night almost six years ago.

Everyone was cheering and teasing while the two were kissing.

They drew apart and both looked away embarrassed.

Eric looked to Xavier and smiled.

"Uncle Bobby!" Eliza exclaimed running up the steps of the mansion, "Wake up!

"Ugh," Bobby trudged out of his room, "Eliza, I'm still sleeping," He yawned.

"Uncle Bobby! Let's play!" She begged grabbing his hand.

"Where's your Dad, isn't it his day off today?" He made his way back to his room.

"But Uncle Bobby, you can make ice things," Eliza pouted.

"I'll make 'ice things' and then go back to sleep ok?" He lazily made his way outside.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Eliza dragged him.

"Pietro," Bobby spat out as soon as he saw him, "what are you doing here? Your daughter is waking all of us up."

"Not my fault! Blame her," He pointed to Kitty making a snow man with the rest of the girls, "you're the only one not up anyway."

"I brought Uncle Bobby!" Eliza jumped all around them.

"Go make something for her Bobby, she's been waiting for you since we got here," Kitty stated.

So Bobby made a bunch of huge ice figures and made his way back upstairs.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Snow angels!" Eliza shouted lying down.

"Ok," Kitty lay down next to her and then got up to admire their handiwork.

"Daddy, did you see?" She climbed onto his lap, and grabbed the cup his was drinking from.

"Bleh," She spit it out, "Daddy, that's gross!"

"It's coffee, Babe. You want hot chocolate?"

"Uh huh," She grabbed his hand and led him back inside.

"Hello? Earth to Kitty? Where are you?" Rogue waved her hand in front of her face.

"Huh?" Kitty looked up to see Remy and Rogue laughing at her.

"They're gone now petite," Remy teased.

"What are you talking about?" Kitty went back to building her snow man.

"Remember Kitty, the Nile isn't just a river in Egypt," Rogue smiled.

"Denial," coughed John, while Amara snickered in the background.
