A/N: Just want to take a quick second and say thank you for taking the time to read this story. Also, just because I have a Tumblr account for one-shots and other requests does not mean I will stop updating the stories I have on here. Chill. I also have adjusted my settings due to negative guests, so that way I can either accept or deny them. No one has time for haters who like to complain. Anyway, this is a small first part to Christmas Eve, the next chapter will be longer, but I wanted to keep it short for a reason. Thanks for reading!

Charlie had woke up close to five in the morning to get started on the Christmas Eve meal. She had made sure that she had all that she needed for the early meal before going to Gemma's for a couple of hours that night. The ham, the baked macaroni and cheese, seven layer salad, baked beans, a vegetable tray, along with a fruit tray, and the pies she had made the night before. Since they would be having turkey for Christmas Day, it was the easiest meal to cook for the day before.

"Need help?" Charlie jumped at the sound of Happy's voice causing her to cover her mouth to keep from waking Maria up in the guest bedroom.

"What are you doing up? You should be asleep." Charlie stated as Happy moved towards her and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Figured if you weren't sleepin, the least I could do is help you." Happy explained, "You're pregnant and have trouble sleeping as it is." Happy added causing Charlie to chuckle lightly.

"If you want, you can wash the vegetables and fruit, and then cut them up. Make sure you seperate them though." Charlie stated, knowing that the tattooed man would just mix them together if he could, "And don't eat it all. Cause otherwise I'm sending you to the store."

"Yes ma'am." Happy chuckled and moved to the coffee pot to pour a cup of coffee and then moved to the counter next to the sink where the vegetables and fruit sat.

"I am trying to let your mom sleep in. I don't want her thinking that she has to slave away in the kitchen all day and night." Charlie commented quietly, "She won't get her feelings hurt will she?" She questioned.

"Nah. She'll just eventually walk in and help though. Probably will tomorrow morning for the turkey. She doesn't want you wearing yourself out for all of us."

"You act like I'm feeding the entire club. It's just me, you, Maria and dad." Charlie chuckled, "Speaking of club though, I don't want to stay too late at Gemma's tonight. I want to get most of the food prepped for tomorrow so we can actually enjoy the holiday together."

"I didn't plan on it. You'll be tired by the time nine o'clock rolls around." Happy chuckled as he began to wash off the fruit first, and then laid it on a dish towel to dry, and then put the vegetables in the sink to wash off.

Happy knew that Charlie was already tired, because she had tossed and turned all night in bed. He knew that it was because he had acted like a jealous asshole, all because her ex-boyfriend had dropped off a restraining order for her. He had felt bad about the entire thing, knowing that she had a lot on her plate, so he figured waking up with her and helping her out with the food would allow her to not over do it.

When he had found out that Ben was an FBI agent, he had made a mental note to bring it up to Tig, so he could find out from Unser, if he was there for the club. Even though he was considered Nomad for the time being, and wasn't strictly working for the Sons in Charming, he couldn't risk getting arrested when he had a son on the way. He knew without a doubt that Charlie would stick around, but he couldn't put her through that. He refused to put her in that position.

Happy glanced to Charlie as she began to make the seven layer salad and couldn't help but to feel lucky. He knew that she was way out of his league, and someone could offer her so much more. Knowing that, Happy had made a silent promise, to make sure that he could give her everything she wanted, so there was no chance of losing her.

Once Happy had finished washing off the vegetables, he laid them on the dish towel and moved to finish off his coffee before cutting them up, "Where are you wanting me to put these once I cut them?" Happy questioned between sips of coffee.

"There should be two trays above the fridge in the cabinet." Charlie explained, "If you wait a minute, I'll help cut one of them." Charlie added and Happy noticed she was almost done layering the salad.

"What time are you wanting to eat?" Happy questioned.

"I was thinking around 3 or 4 because Gemma wants us at her house around five thirty or six. She knows we're eating here, so she said that she would make us plates to bring home in case we got hungry." Charlie commented, "I think we're going to be eating turkey and ham for the next week."

"Probably." Happy chuckled, "Should I put the gifts out today or wait until tonight?"

"Whatever you want to do. We'll have to get the gifts for the guys out. Might as well just bring them all out." Charlie suggested, "Did you get everything wrapped?" Charlie questioned.

Happy nodded his head, "Yeah. Even got the dogs toys wrapped."

Charlie raised an eyebrow and laughed, "I thought you were fighting with them since they refuse to let you in bed?"

"It's Christmas." Happy shrugged his shoulders as he moved towards the fridge to get the trays out of the cabinet above it, "Is Tig coming here or going to Gemma's first?"

"He's coming here first since he's spending the night. I think he said something about bringing a couple of Christmas movies to watch."

Happy gave a nod in understanding. Christmas had always been a big deal to the two Tragers. Christmas Eve usually consisted of going to Gemma's in the late afternoon, and then would head back home to watch a few Christmas movies to wind down from cooking and eating so much, and then set out presents before going to bed. Christmas Day had been filled with waking up early to get started on the turkey and dressing, and then presents would be open. Then dinner would be served around one or two, and then the rest of the day would be filled with lounging around while watching more Christmas movies.

When Happy had first gotten together with Charlie, he had thought it was the weirdest thing in the world that two adults would always love to watch so many Christmas movies, but he quickly realized that it was something Tig and Charlie bonded over, so he learned to accept it. Now, with him having a son on the way, he knew that he could start some sort of tradition with his son.

"Babe, come on, I want to get most of this done before Maria wakes up." Charlie's voice caused Happy to blink, realizing that he had got the trays down and moved back to the counter without bothering to start cutting the vegetables.

"Sorry." Happy mumbled, "I was thinking, you know how you and your dad have the Christmas movie thing?" Happy questioned.

"Yeah, what about it?" Charlie questioned as she began to cut the fruit.

"Do you think me and our kid will have something like that?" Happy questioned as he began to cut the vegetables.

"I wouldn't see why not." Charlie commented, "You're going to be a great father, there's no doubt that you two won't bond over something involving Christmas."

Happy glanced to her and gave her a smile, "If he's anything like you, he'll be obsessed with Halloween and Christmas too." Happy joked causing Charlie to elbow him in the side playfully.

"Get to cutting Lowman." Charlie growled jokingly.
