Stickwitu: Thank-you for your review. I'm glad you're happy that I have written it with Emma. Just for you here is another chapter.
Christmas At Sanctuary.
Once finished opening their presents they all started saying their thanks and passed round hugs and kisses. Next to each person was their mini pile of gifts and strewn all round the tree and even hanging off the tree was the torn up wrapping paper.
The majority of the presents were jewellery and or cosmetic stuff. Although for a joke the four had chosen a child's chemistry set for Adam and wrapped it up in special paper and loads of bows, when Adam had opened it everyone had been staring while he did. Adam had laughed and everyone joined in and the present opening continued.
Brennan's special gift to Shalimar was a heart shaped silver necklace and printed on the heart was a picture of Brennan and Shalimar together. In certain light you could see this picture but in other light it was invisible. When Shalimar had opened it she had screamed with delight and Brennan had put it round her slender neck.
Shalimar's special gift to Brennan was two of Brennan's favourite books (Would put the books names and author names but I don't know so I'll leave it to your imagination.), which were signed by the authors to Brennan, and at the back of the books were a printed special message just for Brennan to read.
Emma's special gift to Jesse was half a heart shaped necklace and she had the other half. On the front of the half a heart was Jesse's name and on Emma's half was her name and on the back of the necklace when you put the two halves together was a short poem.
Our love is always there,
No matter where we are.
We will be together,
For al long as time shall live.
Jesse and Emma read this out to everyone together in complete unison. Everyone arrrred.
Jesse's special gift to Emma was a dress. (Doesn't sound to flash does it?) It was black silk dress with the skirt falling just to Emma's knees and it had thin straps over the shoulders. Attached to the back of the dress were two deep red wings, which had a small loop at the end to attach them to your middle finger. At the bottom of the bow was a pair of sleek black gloves and a small silver tiara. And in another box connected was a pair of black slippers.
Once those present were opened everyone moved onto the other presents from each other. Emma and Shalimar had gotten each other smelly stuff and cuddly toys, which was so like them to get practically the same things. Jesse had gotten Brennan a signet ring with Brennan and Shalimar's initials on it. Brennan had gotten Jesse some Calvin Klein perfume top of the range stuff too.
By now it was only seven o'clock in the morning. Now one could be bothered to clear up the mess or really move far so they just stayed talking about how they all chose their gifts. Adam though felt a little lonely and a bit of an outsider. He sat there watching the others talking and smiling and looking the happiest they have ever been. "Listen I need to go check on something so I'll leave you to it." And he stood up and left.
Everyone watched as he left then looked at Emma. "What's up with him," Shalimar asked. "I don't know but I did get a bad vibe from him," Emma answered. "I think we should leave him for a while then go check on him."
Still with Adam on their minds the four settled down and carried on talking. Jesse and Brennan sat opposite each other with Emma and Shalimar in between their legs and their arms wrapped around them.
They remained talking for another hour or so.
