The next morning was Christmas Day. Zoë ran down the stairs, Tessa followed close behind her, trying to keep her from making too much noise, after all everyone else was still asleep. When they reached the bottom of the stairs the doorbell rang. Much to Tessa's displeasure, Zoë answered the door. It was that dreadful demon boy, Damian.

"Hi Zoë." He said quietly. "I just wanted to say Merry Christmas, and I'm sorry for playing tricks on you and trying to make you think that someone was trying to kill you."

"Oh..."

"And here's your bike." He said. Zoë took her bike from him. "I won't be bothering you ever again."

"Thank you." She said as he turned to leave. "Wait." She called after him.

"I know we're not going to be the best of friends, but we don't have to be enemies."

"Really? You mean that?"

"Of course."

"I'll look forward to seeing you at school."

"You too." She said. "Merry Christmas." She shut the door and brought her bike in.

"I'm proud of you." Tessa said.

"Really, why?"

"Because, you handled that so well." They hugged.

"Thanks Tessa."

....................................

A week after New Years Day Tess and Tessa left to go back to their assignments. Two months later Tessa's assignment was back in New York City. She wasn't told anything about it just that she would know who it was when she saw them. As she walked up to the school, the same school that her sister and all of their friends were fortunate enough to attend she realized who her assignment was and then the reason for her presence hit her. She smiled, the bell rang literally hundreds, perhaps thousands of kids poured out the door and Zoë ran straight into her arms.

"Here, I made this for you." She said, handing her a homemade valentine. After all, it was Valentines Day.

"Thank you so much, I'm sorry that I don't have anything for you."

"I understand."

"But, you can choose what we're going to do tonight."

"You're going to be here tonight?!"

"Yeah, you're my assignment."

"Really?"

"I sure am." Zoë threw her arms around her big sister once more.

"Wait, why?"

"Because Auntie Gloria is going to have the twins." She said as they began walking back to the house.

"She is?"

"She sure is."

"Do we get to go?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because, besides I told you that we get to pick what you do tonight, remember?"

"Does that mean you'll let me win at Risk?"

"Yeah, I guess it does."

"Why aren't I with Mommy and Daddy tonight?"

"They both have assignments."

................................

The next day Monica, Andrew and Tess had come back from their assignments. They had spent all day preparing for the arrival of Gloria, Adam and the twins later that day. When they got there everyone fussed over the twins and passed them around the room.

"They are so cute." Tessa said, she was sitting beside her Mother who was holding one of the babies.

"They sure are." Andrew said as he held the other twin. Zoë sat beside him.

"What are their names, you didn't tell us?"

"Well," Gloria said. "Monica, your holding Michael, and Andrew you've got Olivia."

"A little boy and a little girl, doesn't that seem fun, Andrew?" She smiled at him.

"It sure does Angel Girl."

The End!!!!
