It was snowing heavily outside. If it wasn't for the infant crying, the house would be so quiet. The little baby was bawling in his little bassinet. This noticed the 50 year old military General Galeforce inside the house. He picked up his son inside the bassinet and held him close.
"What's wrong Charlie?" The general asked as if the child could answer. The baby cried ever more. The General slowly rocks the baby. Baby Charlie calms down. Galeforce carries Charles in his arms to the living room and sits on the recliner. The baby rests on his chest.
"It's your first Christmas Charlie" Galeforce said. "I thought you would be more excited"
The baby whines a little. Galeforce softly massages the baby's back.
"It will be the start of every Christmas together" Galeforce said. "And that's a good thing because I get to spend every Christmas with my little Charlie"
When night fell, Galeforce's husband Dmitri arrived home from work so they could open their Christmas gifts. Galeforce got Dmitri a winter coat and Dmitri gave Galeforce a watch. Then it was time for Charles to open his gift.
"Look Charlie," Galeforce said. "Your dad and I got you a gift" He hands the present to Charles. He grabs it with his tiny hands and teeths on it.
"No you're not supposed to eat it. You're supposed to open it" Galeforce said "I'll help you"
Galeforce opens the present. Inside is a teddy bear. Charles takes the teddy bear and smiles.
"I think he likes it," Galeforce said. Charles giggled as he hugged the bear.
"P…P…p…" Charles muttered. "Papa…"
Galeforce and Dmitri looked up.
"What was that?" Galeforce said.
"M… Mewwy… . Kiss…" Charles tried to say.
"Did he say merry Christmas?" Dmitri said.
"Kiss.. Kiss.." Charles said. "Papa"
"Did you hear that Dima, he said Papa" Galeforce said.
"It's a Christmas miracle," Dmitri said.
"Merry Christmas Charlie" Galeforce said.
"Papa" Charles only replied, holding his teddy.
Charles pulled out a small teddy bear from his jacket. It's missing an eye and has a few bullet holes but it's still intact.
"I still have it," Charles said. Everyone was awed.
The blue crewmate was furiously moving their arms around, trying to get everyone's attention.
"We'll go next," Wilson said. "We have a good tale"
The crewmate falls off the table, taking the laptop girl down with them.
