It had been a few days since the boys advised the kindergartener. Frankie knew she had to be kind the rest of the week. It was just too hard.
She didn't tell her brothers though. Now it was Saturday and the four siblings walked into the mall together.
Frankie took Kevin's hand. Joe and Nick walked behind. Joe slung his arm around Nick's shoulders.
They walked to where Santa was and into the line of children of all ages waiting to see the nice man who would bring presents.
"I changed my mind….lets just go home" Frankie whined suddenly when they were only three families behind.
The three Lucas brothers glanced at each other before the oldest, Kevin, lifted up their little sister.
"Why sweetie? Were almost to Santa" he asked and Frankie looked over at the man and gulped.
"Because…he'll yells at me" she whimpered.
"Why? You're such a good girl" Joe asked. Frankie shook her head.
"But I wasn't Joey, I told Tommy to shut up yesterday after I was good to him alls week and it was not easy" she answered.
What did Tommy do?" Nick asked. "He said my picture was ugly…the one on our fridge that we made yesterday so I said to shut up I did best I could and he said I was mean and ran off" she explained.
"Well he was mean to, don't worry least you didn't hit him or nothing but next time just tell the teacher" Joe said.
She nodded and the boys realized they were to move up. Ten minutes later Kevin carried the frantic Frankie over.
"It's okay sweetie, he's real nice remember?" Kevin whispered and Frankie let him go and sat on Santa.
"Hi Santa…I'm Francesca, member me from last year? I got a little bigger" she said.
"Of course I do, my you have grown Francesca" Santa replied.
Frankie grinned. "I becoming a big girl and I did try to be good all year but that dumb Tommy Johnson is a meanie" she said.
"Aw that's okay, I know everyone gets a little naughty but I know you're a very sweet girl who tries hard right?" Santa asked and she nodded.
"Oh yes Santa…so does that mean I can get a new baby doll? I have one but she needs a friend badly" she asked.
Santa nodded. "Of course, now lets smile for the camera as I have lots of children to see but it was so good seeing you again Francesca" he answered.
Frankie nodded. "Can my brothers be in the picture…you know Joey, Kevy and Nicky right? Their a good band called JONAS" she asked.
"Oh yes, I seen the cd, you boys are talented, come on everyone squeeze in" he said.
Joe squatted by Frankie while Nick sat on Santa's other knee and Kevin squatted beside him and the picture was taken.
Santa gave Frankie a small coloring book, crayons and a candy cane and the boys all got candy canes.
"You was so right Kevy! I love Santa he is so nice and forgiving and…he just so cool" she exclaimed.
All three chuckled. "Yes he is but Frankie do you know the real reason we celebrate Christmas?" Nick asked.
Frankie nodded. "Of course, you all told me last year it's…uh…someone's birthday I think" she nodded. "Someone very special, God's son Jesus Christ was born on December twenty-fifth many years ago" Nick said.
Frankie nodded. "He must be really really really old" she said making him laugh.
He lifted her. "Yeah kiddo, come on lets go finish our shopping and then we can get a pretzel and go home" he suggested.
Frankie nodded.
Two days later it was Christmas and Frankie squealed with joy as she got her doll.
Stella came over a little after lunch and Frankie gave her a present.
"Stella!" she exclaimed and Stella picked her up and hugged her tight.
"Merry Christmas princess" she greeted. "You too and I got a present for you" she said.
"Aw, you didn't have to…"
"It's Christmas" Frankie said and ran to her room. Stella got out hers from the bag in her hand.
They both unwrapped at same time and smiled. Stella was given a small yarn doll.
"I made it with mommy, we did it together and I decorated it, she is a little you" she explained.
The doll had blonde yarn hair and blue eyes. "I love her" Stella said smiling at the doll.
Frankie smiled back. "I love mine too, did you make the clothing?" she asked fingering the delicate doll clothes.
"Every piece is Stella crafted, there is even a few little outfits for Frankie bear" she said.
Frankie took them apart and smiled. She had a couple dresses and a camping outfit, a red pajama and a tuxedo for her precious bear.
Frankie put them back in the box and hugged Stella.
"Merry Christmas Stella I am so glad your over her because you're the best present ever….I am glad your in our lives your like a sister to me" she told her.
"Back at you princess, and were not like sisters kid, we are because your so the best friend ever" she agreed.
Frankie smiled. She had a great Christmas as always because she had an awesome family.
