"Daddy, you think Santa will really come here, even though tomorrow's Celestial-Day and bring everybody presents." Rocket asked Herbert making him chuckle along with Jupiter, he knew all about Christmas from growing up on another Terra so had told his lil prince about it.
"Of course he'll come buddy, we did make milk and cookies for him like all the other kids did tonight but let's go get ready for bed so Santa will come." Jupiter told the male cub seeing him nodding following her to get cleaned up making Herbert chuckle knowing tomorrow would be a magical day for them including their family and had lots to do before he could sleep hearing his lil prince laughing, having fun but calming down for sleep so Santa would come and bring gifts.
Later that night/early morning, Rocket heard strange noises which made him think an intruder was in his apartment getting out of his bed, his eyes widening seeing Santa putting gifts under his tree trying to be quiet seeing him disappear makijg his jaw drop in awe.
"I knew he'd come and can't wait tomshow daddy and Jupiter in the morning." he said yawning going back to bed falling asleep again so later that morning, both Jupiter and Herbert were surprised, that Santa had visited making Rocket nod joyfully opening gifts but handing Herbert a gift alomg with Jupiter impressing them.
"Awww, lil Rockie stories are so cute, and of course Santa would visit him, he's a good boy even though he gets into mischief only why does Roxy wanna ruin the holidays, what did we do to her." Casey said making Rocket sigh at her question seeing Jupiter and Gamora along with Herbert exchange a look, knowing she would maybe understand seeing Rocket taking a deep-breath.
"Roxy has a frozen heart and doesn't understand she can't actually destroy the holidays, even Hannukah because they're about family and love but she wants to see your brother fail, because she's peanut butter and jealous of how his life turned out because Herbert adopted him." Jupiter explained seeing Casey thinking, not likijg Roxy.
"She should keep moving forward not dwell on the past." she said seeing Herbert smile, that was sometime he told Rocket growing up guessing Rocket had told Casey this too seeing Rocket wearing a metal arm that belonged to Bucky but Nebula had given it tomhim for Christmas, knowing he had to get Casey the perfect gift and explainin to Herbert making him grin knowing his son would use it well seeing Casey agree with this.
"Nebula gave me this for Christmas, I know what I'm doing." Rocket revealed.
"You should get Casey a good gift, now you fouhd out you're brother and sister." Herbert said making him anxious as he didn't want to let Casey down seeing Herbert agreeing knowing what she loved hoping Roxy wouldn't ruin Christmas or Hannukah.
