Chapter 19-Blue Christmas
Summary: This kind of a songfic. The song Blue Christmas is featured but not the whole story. It is Christmas Eve and Olivia and Elliot are at home with the kids. Alex and John have moved to DC by this time and all is moving along but it has become slower.
Olivia and Elliot were sitting on the couch in front of the fire. Elliot held Olivia close as she cried. He knew that it was tough for her not having Alex. She had returned to town and then as soon as she came, she left.
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll
be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green
Christmas tree
Won't be the same dear, if you're not here with me
Maureen, Kathleen, Lizzie, Dickie, Junior and Serena were all up in the nursery staring out the window watching the snowfall.
"I miss Aunt Alex and Uncle John," Kathleen admitted as she looked up at her older sister with a tear in her eye.
"I know. I miss them too," Maureen responded as she gave her a hug. Lizzie and Dickie looked at their sisters and nodded. "I know mom misses her most of all," she said as a tear fell down her cheek as well.
And when those blue snowflakes
start falling
That's when those blue memories start falling
You'll
be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a
blue, blue Christmas
Alex looked up at John and smiled. He kissed her gently on the lips. There was sadness in both of their eyes. They missed their family back in New York. They wanted more than anything to be there with them. Alex looked towards the window and noticed that it had begun to snow.
"I miss Olivia and the family," she said beginning to cry.
"I miss them too honey," John said as he kissed her forehead.
I'll have a Blue Christmas that's
certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be
doin' all right, with your Christmas of white,
But I'll have a
blue, blue Christmas
Midnight cam and Elliot kissed Olivia sweetly. "Merry Christmas Liv."
John kissed Alex lightly on the lips. "Merry Christmas Alex."
