Chapter 2
An Unforgettable, Bizarre Christmas Morning
Furthermore, Christmas has finally come for the Sparda family with another fine, snowy morning with frost covered windows and presents under the tree waiting to be unwrapped. In the room of the Sparda twins, rays of light shine through the window. Vergil was the first to wake up as he stretches, while Dante was still asleep. He looks over to his younger brother, and then he sat up. He slowly got out of his bed, then walks over to his brother's bed.
"Dante, are you awake?" he whispered. "It's Christmas."
Dante was still sound asleep snoring and Vergil quietly walks away. He went into their shared bathroom, clicked on the light, and then closed the door behind him. Moments later, the toilet flushes and Vergil came out the bathroom seeing that Dante is still in bed asleep. He opens their bedroom's door and he begins to walk down the hall to his parents' bedroom. He turns the knob slowly and peeks in.
"Mother? Father?" Vergil whispered again. "May I come in?"
Eva awoken by the small voice.
"Yes, hon'," said Eva now sitting up in bed.
Vergil came in and closed the door behind him, and then he walked over to his mother's bedside.
"Merry Christmas, mother," said Vergil hugging her.
"Merry Christmas, hon'," Eva said hugging him back with a warm smile and gives him a peck on the cheek.
Later, there was knock on the door.
"Come in," Eva called.
The door pushed open widely, and standing there was Dante in the doorway, who appeared to be angry.
"Vergil, why didn't you wake me up?" Dante said angrily.
"I did." said Vergil. "I said, Dante are you awake, it's Christmas and you didn't say anything, but snored." Vergil said with a sly grin.
"Oh, come on, Verge, that's a lousy way to wake up someone," said Dante folding his arms.
"Dante, get over it," said Vergil sitting next to his mother on the bed.
"No, you get over it, Vergil," said Dante. "Besides, I don't snore like you do."
Vergil looked at his brother as if Dante didn't touch a boiling point in his body.
"No, no now. Okay, shh...you two." Eva said. "Stop bickering at one another, you'll wake your father."
"Sorry, mother," said the twins separately.
"I want you both to stop fighting, okay?" Eva warned them.
"Yes, mother," the twins, replied.
Eva always warned the boys of many things, she couldn't help but give them discipline for them to get along and love one another. Even though, to Vergil and Dante, they know it hurts their mother deeply when they fight. In their minds, their mother is primarily the person who constantly gives them the understanding why they should get along and love one another.
"Oh, yeah. Merry Christmas, mother," said Dante unfolding his arms, now crawling into his parents' bed sitting between them.
"Merry Christmas, sweetheart," Eva said with a smile hugging him closely and also getting a peck on the cheek. "Hey, why don't we go downstairs and make some breakfast, hmm?" she asked the twins.
"Yeah," agreed the twins whispering.
"Then we'll open our presents when your father wakes up, okay? she explained.
"Um, mother. Do we have to?" Dante questioned seeming impatient.
"It doesn't matter to me, mother." Vergil said resting on his mother's arms.
"Yes, we have to. Now let's go quietly downstairs and try not to wake you father." Eva explained again. "You know he gets so grouch when hearing loud noises while he's sleeping." she recalled.
"Okay, mother." Vergil said getting off the bed to let his mother out from under the covers and hands his mother her robe.
"Thank you, Vergil." Eva said, and then she looks at her youngest son now standing by the door. "Dante, what's the matter?" she asked him.
"I wanted to open presents now," he pouted.
"Now, Dante. You shouldn't pout, remember?" Eva asked. "That's not good to get what you want, sweety." she smiled brushing his silvery, white hair from his face.
"Please, mother?" said Dante looking up at her with puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, alright." Eva resisted. "Let's go. I can't wait either." she agreed.
"Finally, we can open presents, but Dante is still a suck-up to mother," thought Vergil. "Humph, just wait until he'll open the gift that I got him," he smirked evilly as he watched them leaving out the room.
"Vergil, sweetheart. Come now." Eva said sweetly holding out her hand to him.
"Coming, mother," he said reaching to grab her hand, and then they all went downstairs.
---------------
Eva and the boys went downstairs and began to give out their presents. Eva gave her presents to the boys first. They both thanked her and start unwrapping their presents.
"Wow! Mom, thanks, I love you," said Dante happily. "A CD player and some rock music CDs, yeah!"
"You're welcome, Dante," Eva giggles.
"Oh, wow! Are you serious, mother?" Vergil asked. "Four tickets to the "Carmen" opera?
"Mhmm, yes," she replied.
"Oh, thank you, mother. I've always wanted to go see it." Vergil said hugging his mother tightly. "I love you, mommy."
"Thanks, mommy," said Dante giving his mother a big hug also and a kiss on the cheek.
"You're both welcome, my angels." Eva said embracing them both. "I love you too, so much."
Then later, Eva receives a big present that both of her boys got together.
"Wow, that's a big gift," she said surprisingly.
She begins to unwrap her gift and you can't believe what it is.
"Oh, my goodness, boys. You shouldn't have," Eva said with her wide eyes. "A beautiful family portrait, oh, this is a masterpiece. Thank you, my beloved boys, come here," she said tearfully with open arms, then embraces her sons tightly kissing them both.
"You're welcome, mother," the Sparda twins said separately.
Now the Sparda twins begin to exchange their gifts.
"Merry Christmas, Vergil," said Dante giving his gift to his brother.
"Thank you, Dante," Vergil grinned. "Here's yours' Dante. Merry Christmas."
The Sparda twins unwrapped their gifts, but only Dante eyes were wide like he just saw a ghost unexpectedly.
"What's the matter, Dante?" said Vergil with a big smile.
"Uh, mommy. What is this," Dante asked staring at the figure."
"It's Santa, sweety," said Eva.
"NO! NOOO! OH, MY! SANTA! GET IT AWAY FROM ME! OH, NO! NOT SANTA, PLEASE! MOMMY," said Dante crying and running into his mother's arms.
Vergil just laughed out loud hilariously that tears came out.
"Santa is not going to do you anything to you, Dante," said Vergil catching his breath. "See, he sings and dances too, when you flick the switch. Watch.
Vergil flicks the switch on the back and the Santa figure begins to sing and dance moving his waist side-to-side.
"MOMMY, MAKE HIM STOP! MAKE HIM STOP," Dante cried out loud.
"Okay, now Vergil, turn it off. You're scaring your brother," Eva demanded.
Vergil reached over the back of the figure and turned it off.
"Shh, sweetheart. It's okay, it's off now," Eva said silencing Dante. "Now, Vergil, why would you buy something like that and you know he's afraid of Santa Claus?" she asked again.
"I'm sorry, Dante," he said looking down on the floor trying hold back his laughter. "But mother, I did get him something else."
"Okay, but it better not be another Santa?" she said to him.
"No, mother," said Vergil handing his other gift to Dante. "Here, Dante. I hope you like it."
Dante sniffles and grabs the other gift from Vergil. He opened the gift slowly that was small with a red wrapper on it and laced with a red ribbon. Dante's eyes widen and hugged Vergil tightly patting his back.
"Awesome, Verge. This is what I always wanted," Dante said cheerfully. "Frosty the Snowman VHS. Thanks, Verge. I love you."
"Aw. That is so sweet of you, Vergil," Eva said relieved and happy. "What did Dante get you for Christmas?" she asked.
"A pair of blue roller blades," he replied. "Thanks, Dante."
"You're welcome," said Dante sitting next to his mother on the floor admiring his gifts except the dancing Santa Claus.
"Hey, what's all the noise?" said Sparda coming downstairs. "Oh my, already opening gifts. Honey, why didn't you wake me up?" he said in a grouchy tone while scratching his head.
"Oh, darling. I didn't won't to wake you because you was sleeping so peacefully," she said with a sweet voice. "You looked like an angel," she giggled as she walks over to him.
"Now, how many times have I heard that one?" Sparda smiled as he bought her closer.
"Well, plenty," she smiled and gave him a morning kiss.
"EEEWW," said the twins together. "Disgusting! Ack!"
"Oh, come now, my boys, you are going to have to do that when you grow up and get married," said Eva to the twins.
"YUCK! Oh, no way! That's disgusting! I wouldn't kiss my future wife! No way!" said Vergil in distaste. "I rather kiss the back of my hand," he spatted.
"I would, if she's very hot. I'm up for it, oh yeah." Dante said willingly.
"Whatever, Dante," said Vergil. "That's just plain "YUCK!" and errr, I can't think anymore."
"Then, just shut up and enjoy Christmas," Dante said to his brother while handing his gift to his father.
"Errrr. Dante, I'm gonna knock the..." Vergil said enrage towards Dante's comment, but didn't get the chance to finish his sentence.
"VERGIL!" said Eva and Sparda. "Watch your mouth, young man," They said with fire in their eyes.
"But he started it!" Vergil pointed at Dante.
"Vergil, behave," Sparda warned him. "I told you about talking like that to your brother, so be nice, it's Christmas, okay?" he said politely.
"Okay, sorry," Vergil said feeling a bit embarrassed. "Merry Christmas, father," he said giving his gift to his father as well.
"Thank you, my beloved sons," said Sparda bending to sit in his chair with a big smile on his face, and then suddenly became a frown. "But still I haven't giving you guys any presents," he remembered.
"Honey, just open the gifts, you're pouting like a big baby and it's Christmas," Eva said sitting in a chair
while holding Vergil in her lap.
"Open it, open it, father," said Dante excitingly. "Mine's first."
"No, mine's first," Vergil said trying to compete.
"Wait. Okay, I'll start with Vergil's present, then Dante's present," said Sparda. "How about that?" he asked his sons.
"Okay, because my present is the best anyway, father," said Dante teasing his brother.
"No way! Mine's the best! I want my present to be open last, father!" yelled Vergil.
Eva softly covers Vergil's mouth to keep him from shouting and gesturing Dante with her other hand to stop teasing. The boys quieted down and looked away from each other watching their father beginning to open their presents. Sparda unwraps a long, flat blue box with a small red ribbon on top. Inside the box, he receives a black leather journal.
"Oh, thank you, Vergil," he smiled. "Just what I need to write about my family and the adventures I had."
"You're welcome, father," said Vergil while snuggling in his mother's arms.
"That is very nice, dear." Eva agreed.
Next, Sparda unwraps Dante's present that was round and red all over with a small white ribbon, and then he looks lost for a moment.
"It's a "magic eight ball", father," said Dante.
"Oh, thank you, Dante," Sparda smiled. "What does it do?" he asked.
"You ask a question, shake it, and it will reveal an answer," Dante explained. "Try it."
"Okay. Will we have a new baby in the family?" Sparda asked shaking the ball. "It says 'Ask again later'."
"Honey, why would you ask that question?" Eva wondered.
"It was the first thing that came into mind," Sparda replied. "Um, just a thought, nothing serious, hon'," he joked.
"Sure, dear." thought Eva curiously looking at him.
"I know that look, dear," he said. "No more children, because we're very blessed of the two we have."
"Yes, that is so true, my dearest," agreed Eva.
"Very true, honestly," he nodded staring into her eyes.
"Do you like it, father?" Dante asked.
"Yes, very much," Sparda replied. "This will be fun in my office, thanks," he nodded.
Dante smiled joyfully and Vergil gets off his mother's lap, then went to go stand by his father next to his chair.
"Darling, this gift is for you," Eva said handing her husband a small size gift she bought him. "Merry Christmas, dear," she smiled giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Thanks, dear," Sparda smiled back unwrapping his gifts. "Oh honey, a wallet with pictures of my family in it and a pocket watch," he said happily. "This is nice, hon'."
"Yes, I put it together just for you, dear, so that you'll have us all with you and come home on time for family events, so you won't miss out," Eva explained. "This is how much we all love you," she cried and hugged him.
"Oh, honey. That's...that's so wonderful of you and my sons I'm so blessed to have all of you in life," Sparda said proudly. "I couldn't ask for nothing more," he proclaimed.
"Father, we rather have you for Christmas anyways," said Dante clinging to his mother's waist.
"Yeah," agreed Vergil. "You're still the best there is," he said proudly.
"Well, family, I did finally manage to get you guys and my loving wife presents this Christmas after all." Sparda annonounced.
Everyone stared with a surprised look on their faces.
"What? Really, father?" Dante asked surprisingly. "But you said you didn't get us anything awhile ago."
"I know," he agreed. "I didn't think "myself" as a present wasn't enough and it didn't feel fair of not getting you all nothing on Christmas," he apologized.
"But how did you manage to get us presents, hon'?" wondered Eva.
"Okay, it's a long story," replied Sparda. "To make it short, I couldn't sleep after everyone went back to bed and I just had to do something about it, so I'd went out into the city and bought it for you all," he explained.
"Then, father, where is it or what is it?" asked Vergil curiously.
