(Chapter Fifty)

Christmas with the Stantons

"Cody, I have a special surprise planned for you today," Abigail told her son as he wolfed down his pancake.

"So do I," Frank, who had snuck in the back door, surprised her by saying.

"Frank! Good morning," she replied giving him a friendly hug.

"Good morning, Abigail."

Cody gulped down his last bit of orange juice and asked "What's your surprise, Pastor Frank?"

"Well, I can't tell or it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?"

"I guess not," he shrugged.

"So, Abigail, would you like to go for a short walk?"

She looked over to Cody with her question clearly showing in her eyes.

"Go ahead. I'll be fine," he replied casually.

"Thank you, Cody. I won't be long, I promise."

"Thank you, Cody," Frank replied as he offered his arm to Abigail and walked out the door in the direction of the pond.

"So, what is your surprise?" Abigail asked him very curiously.

"Well, I thought maybe you'd like me and Cody to make dinner. You and Becky can have a girl's day out while we're cooking."

"Afraid you'll burn down the café on my watch, hey?" she teased him.

He nudged her slightly and chuckled.

"And then a bit later, we can head over to the saloon for a game of darts. How does that sound?"

"That sounds – amazing."

"I can sense a 'but' coming."

"I wanted to surprise Cody by having Lee stop by to play some catch with him."

"Well, maybe Lee can come over this morning. Dinner can be ready by noon if you'd like. That gives you two ladies the morning to shop or do – whatever it is you two want to do. Then maybe we can have our game of darts at 2:00. That way we don't catch the rowdy rush."

"Sounds like you have it all planned out," she replied. Sounding a bit annoyed.

"I'm sorry, Abigail. How does that sound to you?"

"It's perfectly alright, Frank," she sincerely apologized. "Your idea is a wonderful one indeed."

He smiled at her. "Great."

The day would be a great one, and Frank could not wait to get started.
