It is Christmas Eve. David is sitting in bed, wearing green silk pajamas, waiting for Dorian who is putting Desiree to bed. Dorian enters wearing her white silk robe and carrying the e baby monitor.
David: Did she finally fall sleep?
Dorian: (placing the monitor on the nightstand and sitting next to him on the bed) Yes, I hope they both sleep through the night again.
David: Me too. I was hoping we could have our own Christmas celebration tonight and we can't do that if we are taking care of the twins.
Dorian: No we can't. (smiling at him) What did you have in mind?
David whispers something naughty in her ear and she responds with a kinky look.
She kisses him and he pulls her close.
David: I love you.
Dorian: I love you too.
He kisses her and she takes off her robe to reveal her red lingerie. She unbuttons his shirt and he slides it off. He kisses her down her neck before going back to her lush lips. She pulls him on top of her as she lays down on the bed.
Dorian: Make love to me David. Six monhs is such a long time.
He kisses her with such passion she practicly melts. Their bodies fit together perfectly and they make love over and over again all night long.
The next morning Dorian wakes up in David's arms. He is still sleeping and she waches him for a few moments bfore he wakes up.
David: Merry Christmas gorgeous.
Dorian: Merry Christmas yourself. Last night was incredible.
David: It was wasn't it? (He kisses her) Have you checked on the twins?
Dorian: No, but I hear noises. I think Adriana has them downstairs.
David: As much as I'd like to stay here with you all day we should probably get ready before the rest of the Cramer's arrive.
Dorian: (resting her head on his chest) I suppose.
David and Dorian put on their robes and head downstairs. Adriana is in the family room with the twins who are in their playpen.
Dorian: (entering) Merry Christmas sweetheart.
Adriana: (giving her mom a hug) Merry Christmas mom. Merry Christmas David.
David: Merry Christmas.
Dorian: (picking up Desiree) Merry Christmas my little darlings.
David: (picking up Dylan) Merry Christmas.
Dorian: Thank you for taking care of them for us Adriana.
Adriana: They're my brother and sister. I was happy to do it. Besides, you and David loked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb you.
David and Dorian sit down on the sofa, still holding the twins, and munch on some toast sitting on a tray on the coffee table. It is a wonderful family moment with David, Dorian, Desiree, Dylan, and Adriana. A little while later David and Dorian put the babies back in the playpen and go upsyairs to get showered and changed.
They return dressed in their Christmas clothes. Just then the doorbell rings.
Dorian: I'll get it. (opening the door) Kelly! Oh it's so good to see you and this adorable little girl of yours. Hello Kevin.
Kevin: Hello Dorian.
Dorian: Come on in.
They all go in to the family room. Kelly puts Amber, that is her daughter's name, in the play pen with Desiree and Dylan. Dorian joins David on the sofa. Kelly sits in a chair across from them. Adriana is in the other chair. Kevin is pouring himself a drink.
Kelly: Mom called me today.
Dorian: She called me last night.
Kelly: Good. She sounded better.
Dorian: More together.
Kelly: Uh-huh.
The doorbell rings again and Adriana goes to get it. Starr and Jack come in followed by Todd, Adriana, Blair, and Addie.
Dorian: Merry Christmas Addie! (She gives her sister a hug)
Addie: Merry Christmas Dori! Where are the babies?
Dorian: They're in the play pen. Go see them.
Blair: Merry Christmas everybody.
She is greeted in return by a wave of Merry Christmases. Starr and Jack head to the tree to start snooping through the gifts. Blair and Todd sit down on the couch. Kevin goes over to Kelly. Dorian walks over near the fireplace and stands next to where David is seated. He stands up making more room on the sofa. Desiree begins to cry. Adriana goes and picks her up and then sits back down bouncing Desiree a little to keep her calm. Addie sit next to Blair on the couch.
Dorian: Blair, I was just talking to Kelly about Melinda. She called me last night and Kelly this morning. She sounded better.
Blair: That's great.
Addie: I miss Melinda.
Dorian: Me too Addie.
Adriana: Isn't this so nice to have the whole family together?
Dorian: Almost the whole family. Cassie and River aren't here.
Kelly: Aren't they coming for the wedding?
Dorian: No, I invited them, but Cassie never called me back. (David puts his arms around her) She hates David.
Blair: I don't think she hates him. She just doesn't know him like we do.
David: I'm right here. Did I suddenly become invisible or something?
Dorian: I'm sorry darling.
Addie: Cassie loves you Dori. She'll come, I know she will.
Dorian: Oh Addie, I hope you're right, but I doubt it.
Cassie: (entering from the foyer with River behind her) I'd listen to Aunt Addie if I were you mother. She's one smart Cramer girl.
Dorian: (turning around quickly) Cassie! Darling you came, and you too River.
She runs over and gives them both a big hug.
Cassie: Of course we came. Did you really think I was going to miss my own Mother's wedding. Her last wedding, if this really is for good.
Dorian: (glances over at David with tears seaming down he face) It is for good. I love him. I can't believe you're here! This is the best Christmas present I could've asked for (gives Cassie another hug).
Addie: See Dori, I told you she would come.
Dorian: You were right Addie.
David: (taking their bags) Let me take these upstairs for you.
River: Thanks.
Cassie: Now, where are my new bother and sister?
Dorian: Over here. (picks Dylan up out of the play pen) This is your brother, Dylan Cramer Vickers.
Cassie: He's adorable.
Adriana: (brings over Desiree) And this is our sister, Desiree Agatha Vickers.
Dorian: Agatha, after Addie.
Cassie: (taking here from Adriana) You're such a cutie.
Kelly: (walking over and picking up Amber from the play pen) Don't forget about your new cousin, Amber Renee Buchcanon.
Cassie: I didn't forget. She's a cutie too.
David comes back in and joins Dorian.
Blair: I'm glad you decided to come Cassie.
Cassie: Me too. Starr, Jasck, how are you guys.
Starr: I'm Cool.
Jack: Good.
Kevin: It's nice to see you again.
Cassie: It's nice to see you too Kevin. (Turns to Todd) Todd.
Todd: Cassie.
River pulls Adriana aside while the others continue to talk.
River: You look great.
Adriana: Thank you.
River: Are we okay? I mean, are we on speaking terms?
Adriana: Yeah, that was so long ago. Everything's good.
River: Good.
Dorian: I have an idea. Why don't we take a family photo. It's not everyday we're all together. (She hands Dylan to David, then goes to the desk and pulls out a camera) Todd, Kevin, will one of you take the photo?
Kevin: (taking the camera) Sure.
Dorian: Come on everyone. (everyone begins to assemble in front of the back doors) (to Cassie) I'll take her. (she hands Desiree to Dorian) Come here sweet heart.
Jack: Look! It's snowing.
Starr: Cool.
Kelly: That's going to make a really pretty background.
Starr and Jack are in front on the ground. Adrianna, River and Addie are standing behind them. David, who's holding Dylan, Dorian, who's holding Desiree, Cassie, Kelly, whose holding Amber, and Blair are behind them. Todd took Dorian's not so suttle hint and stayed on the couch.
Kevin: Say cheese.
Everyone: Cheese!
Kevin takes the photo. Dorian looks up at the hansome man standing next to her. He is her fiance, the father of her twins. She loves him. He is a part of the Cramer family even though he is not a Cramer by blood. Isn't the same true of Kevin and Todd? She hated them. That was no secret, but they weren't going anywhere anytime soon.
Dorian: (to herself) Why not? (to everyone) Wait just a second.
Blair: What now Dorian?
Dorian: Kevin, Todd I want the two of you to come get in the picture. I think there's an old tri-pod in the closet in the foyer.
David: (whispering to her) Are you sure about this?
Dorian: Yes, David. It's Christmas, and I've got my family all together. I can afford to be a little generous.
David: (whispering to her) That doesn't sound like you.
Dorian: (whispering to him) Besides, I can use this next time one of the girls say I never try to be nice to Kevin and Todd.
David: (whispering back) That's the Dorian I know. (kisses her cheek)
Kelly: (looking over at Dorian) Dorian, thank you.
Dorian: (Looking at Kelly) You're welcome. (Looks at Blair) Both of you (Blair gives her an approving smile)
Todd goes and stands next to Addie. Kevin puts the camera on the tri-pod and sets the timer. He goes and stands next to Kelly.
Kevin: Say cheese.
Everyone else: Cheese!
The flash goes off.
Jack: Lets open presents.
He and Starr race toward the tree and start digging through the pile of presents.
Blair: Guys, slow down. The presents aren't going anywhere.
Todd: It's Christmas let them enjoy themselves.
David, Dorian, and Kelly put the babies back in the play pen. Everyone but David and Dorian join in opening presents. David and Dorian are standing by the back doors. He pulls out some mistletoe and holds it above his head.
David: Look what I've got.
Dorian: Mistletoe.
David: Mistletoe.
Dorian: Merry Christmas.
David: Merry Christmas.
He kisses her.
