Merry Christmas Princess

"Whoa!" Georgia stood slack jawed halfway down the stairs. Her eyes grew seeing the stacks and stacks of wrapped up presents spread over the entire living room. From the fireplace and under the tree, across the window, past the coffee table and onto the couches. The stockings were even overflowing. She raised her eyebrows. "I think Santa went a little bit overboard."

She jumped down the last five stairs, landing on the cold flooring in her bare feet. She sprinted down across the living area and down the corridor down to Sandy and Kirsten's room, grinning the whole time. She hopped about, unable to keep still as she knocked on the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang! "Ugh…" Kirsten groaned waking up. She yawned. "What is it honey?" She rolled over to Sandy but his eyes were shut and he was in a slight slumber. "That wasn't me." He groaned pulling the covers back over his shoulder.

"Mum, dad! I'm coming in. Please attire yourself with any clothing that may have been removed…"

Kirsten rolled her eyes sitting up on her elbows. "We're dressed Georgia."

"Really?" Georgia pulled a face. She opened the door and skipped in.

She jumped up and down. "Get up! Get up! It's Christmas!"

"It's also 6:48 in the morning." Sandy mumbled from the bed.

"But its Christmas morning! You have to get up!"

Kirsten smiled at Georgia. "If you can convince your dad to get up, I will too."

Georgia flung herself onto her knees, between their legs, at the bottom of their bed. She bounced up and down. "Wake up!" Sandy pulled the covers over his head. "Please dad! Pleeeeeeeeease!"

Sandy pushed the covers away from his face and looked at his pleading daughter. He sighed. "Go get Seth and Ryan." Georgia grinned. "Thank you! Thank you!" She leaped off the bed and ran out of the room. Kirsten laughed.

"Seth Seth! Wake up wake up!" Georgia yelled whilst repeatedly knocking on his door. Seth snatched his door open after a minute with a tired and unamused look on his face. Georgia smiled. "C'mon it's Christmas." She said innocently.

Seth frowned and shook his head. "Aren't you meant to grow out of getting up early in the morning for Christmas by 14?"

"Hell no!"

Seth sighed. "C'mon I want my presents…if you don't I'll steal yours too." Seth quickly shut the door then reopened it a second later with his housecoat on. He nodded his head like a sergeant. "To the poolhouse."

Georgia was ahead of Seth and knocked on the poolhouse door. Seth pulled her back. "No, no" Seth told her then just walked in. "Observe." He went over to Ryan. "Ryan…Ryan…" He said quietly. "Ryan!" Ryan jumped up. "Heyyyyyy buddy" Seth said smiling.

"What are you going to open first Georgia?" Sandy asked with coffee in his hands.

Georgia glanced around. She grabbed a box. "This. This looks like shoes." Seth had already dug in and Ryan slowly started to unwrap presents too.

"Pink Dunlops!" Georgia grinned. "Yeah! Oh thank you! How did you get these? I didn't think these were sold in the US?"

"There isn't anything the Cohens can't do." Sandy said pointedly.

"Hey check this out Georgia." Seth said. Georgia turned around. There was a giga-normous box, almost 3 metres high, beside Seth. Georgia grinned climbing over unwrapped presents to Seth. "What is it?"

"I don't know. It's for you though. Must be, says so on the card."

"Nothing gets past you bright spark." Georgia said sarcastically. She raised her eyebrows when she stood below it staring up at its summit. She turned to Seth biting her lip then she whizzed round and started to tear the wrapping paper off.

"Oh my god immense!" Georgia shrieked. It was a large, full-sized, Spalding-NBA, basketball hoop, signed by Michael Jordan. Georgia started to clap her hands and bounce about on the spot. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She kept repeating.

"Well that put the bounce in her bungee." Sandy stated.

…………After many presents had been opened with smiles and grateful glances there was only a few left. Georgia had been flourished with presents from Sandy and Kirsten. Kirsten mostly she could tell. All the right clothes, the right jewellery, the right perfume, the right make up. Once getting a specially asked for Chanel shrug Georgia leaped up and gave Kirsten a giant hug. Sandy smiled. Georgia was looking like her mum a little more every day; one part woman, the other part girl.

Georgia turned around. "What were we saying?" She paused. "Oh yeah Summer has got Seth totally whipped."

"Whipped like the family's pig." Sandy said.

"I am not pig-whipped ok?" Seth said. They all laughed as the phone rang.

"Hello?" Kirsten giggled still as she answered the phone. "Oh hey Steph. How are you? Good…I'm good thank you. I'll get Georgia." Kirsten covered the phone. "Georgia!" She put the phone back to her mouth. "Get lots of nice things from Santa?"

"Mum!" Georgia shrieked. "Shut up!" She grabbed the phone laughing. "Hiya honey!"

"Merry Christmas!" Steph sung.

"You too!"

"I was gonna call you our this morning but I didn't think you'd appreciate that." Steph laughed.

"Probably not." Georgia laughed. "It's our 7 now."

"So how are things with the Cohens?" Steph asked. She definitely heard Georgia call Kirsten 'mum'.

"We've made it through the fall and winter with no trouble." Georgia said smiling.

Steph smiled. "Good." Although disappointed. "You coming home soon?"

"You're asking me on Christmas? That's not fair!" Georgia grinned whining.

"You know I've doubted your decision about staying more than once. You're finding it harder to come back."

"Why is that bad? I've got myself together as you can tell. Helen is coming over next week for New Year."

"Helen?"

"Helen...my mum…whatever!"

Steph sighed. She fake smiled to herself. "Love ya hunny."

"You to Steph. Miss you."

"You too." Georgia sighed as she hung up. But she smiled when she turned back to face the Cohens. Sandy and Kirsten were about to open the present she made up for them. She ran back through jumping over the couch and crouching in front of her.

"The best saved for last!" Georgia said grinning.

Kirsten read the tag. "For both of us?" She said with a questioning look. She unwrapped the paper to a satin box. She balanced the box between her and Sandy's lap.

"It's from the three of us." Georgia said.

Seth and Ryan stood above a kneeling Georgia and his sitting parents. "Georgia really."

"She did most of it." Ryan said.

Kirsten and Sandy looked at each other and frowned. Kirsten took the lid of the box. She paused when she a large photo album inside. She took out. It was beautifully decorated. It was enveloped in pink card. Sprinkled with glitter and sparkling sequins; teddy bears, stars, moons, hearts and angels. There were little silver charms; hearts, flowers, a fairy, a mini football and a horse; that dangled off it. A larger amulet was carefully glued on; a baby's rattle. In the centre, in fancy writing – that appeared to be Georgia's – was written 'Sandy and Kirsten…' Kirstenslowly opened the cover of the photo album. Inside was written; '…Worlds' Best Parents'.

Kirsten and Sandy both gasped, smiling. They opened it further. The first page had baby photos. One they recognised. It was Seth, just after he was born in one of the baby incubators because he was early. The other two they didn't recognise. Georgia pointed on the page. "That's Ryan" Georgia said pointing to the picture of a cute chubby baby with ginger-ish hair. "And that's me." Georgia said pointing to the photo at the bottom of the page. The tiniest baby ever seen. And she arrived on time. In her cot, Georgia had her identity card wrapped as tightly as possible round her tiny wrist but it was still near falling off.

Sandy and Kirsten both smiled. They had never seen photos of Ryan nor Georgia when they were younger. They flicked forward a few pages. More photos. From two years old to five and so on. They stopped between nursery and school. "Did you put all this together?" Kirsten asked impressed and touched.

Georgia blushed and smiled. "The boys helped." Kirsten looked up at her boys and smiled but they both shrugged and shook their heads. They got the photos together but Georgia had done all the decorations.

"Ryan went to Soccer Camp." Sandy awed. Seth peered over his dad's shoulder.

"Dude you were a red head?" Seth smirked.

"Yup. Ryan was a ging-er" Georgia said.

"1992 was not a good year." Ryan said.

Under Ryan's picture was one of Georgia when she was about 3 nearly 4. "Is that Kellie with you?" Kirsten asked and Georgia nodded. The two were on a baby slide in a park. At the same time they were at the top ready to slide down together. They were both laughing about something. Georgia's bright blonde wavy hair was tucked back with a pink hair with flowers on it. Her dress had pink and yellow flowers on it too. Kellie wore pink shorts and a pink t-shirt with Jasmine from Aladdin on it. Sandy smiled at how, even then, Georgia looked a little bit like Kirsten; her button nose and her eyes that lit up when she laughed.

Over the page was two more of Georgia. Her fourth birthday party at 'The Fairy Shop' and she was dressed up in a pink sparkly tutu with white wings and a wand. Her friends surrounding her. The second when she was seven. On a hot day in August and she and Kellie were running through the simpler in her back garden.

Kirsten smiled widely and traced her finger over the photos. "Hey mum you ok?" Seth asked softly. Kirsten looked up. "Perfect. Thank you kids so much." She kissed Georgia's forehead then got up to hug each of her boys.

Sandy stood up and Georgia embraced him a very very tight hug. He hugged her back even tighter. "I love you dad." Georgia said.

"I love you too." Sandy said. "So much." As he kissed the top of her head. Kirsten was tucked between her two boys but managed to see her husband and daughter. She smiled. There was two things she was sure of; Georgia was sent to them from heaven
and she was daddy's little girl.
