The next day was a blur as everybody everywhere attempted to finish up their Christmas planning. My family had finished for the most part, but were still lacking a little bit in the gift department since we were expecting two more people at our little celebration, Jack and Blink. Dodger and I rushed out to find presents for them at the last minute, not something I would suggest doing. If you thought that the normal post Thanksgiving holiday sales were chaotic, wait to do your shopping on Christmas Eve. Luckily we got what we needed and headed home to wrap the last minute items and placed them under the tree, preparing for Christmas Day.

Christmas dawned bright and a wee bit chilly for a change. Mom, Spades and I spent most of the morning in the kitchen trying to make dinner for everyone, which we finished around 1:00 in the afternoon. We put everything in the warmer under the oven to keep it warm for the next two hours until we could eat. Our house was buzzing with excitement because it was Christmas. And for me, well, I was excited because I had finally gotten my Christmas wish, a boyfriend. Jack and Blink showed up an hour early which was fine with me, since I wanted to see Jack, and we all settled into the living room to open presents. My family's tradition was to pass out the gifts to each person and then take turns opening them. After the gifts were divvied up, Dad opened his gift from Mom, then Mom opened hers from Dad. I opened one of mine, and at first I didn't know who it had come from, it was a beautiful diamond studded white gold cross necklace. I was speechless when I saw it, it was almost too beautiful just to say thank you. I looked at the card that had come with it and immediately reached out to hug Spot. Who started to pull away at first but ended up just letting me thank him in my own way.

"Thank you, Spot, it's beautiful." I said.

"Tink nuddin of it." He smiled.

Next in the present opening line was Dodger who opened her present from Blink. Then came Spot who opened one from Spades, and then there was Spades who opened the one from Mom and Dad. After we had all opened everything, I took Jack to the back yard and made him hunt for his present. After looking around for quite sometime he finally found it. It was one of the little singing hamsters that was dressed up in a karate uniform and sang "Kung Fu Fighting". I thought that it was appropriate considering all I had done to him since we met.

A short time later we went inside to eat the meal. Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and all the trimmings were passed around the table more times than I could count though it was a relief to see that everyone liked my cooking. After dinner Jack, Spot, Spades, Dodger, Blink and I went out into the yard for a snowball fight. Unfortunately, all we had was slush and slush fights generally hurt. In the midst of our playing around, someone accidentally grabbed a hand full of ice instead of slush and hurled it at Jack's face.

"Ow, what da heck?" he shouted as he immediately grabbed the side of his face.

"What happened?" I asked from where Dodger had me pinned down in the slush.

"I dunno, I was jist standin heah and next ting I know I'm bleeding!"

"Ei, that's not good." Spades pointed out. Jack shot her a thank you captain obvious look.

"Come here let me see what happened." I said getting up off the ground.

"Aww, ya gonna play noise foh im?" Blink mocked, which earned him a smack from Dodger.

"Blink, he's bleeding profusely from the looks of it, now's really not the time." I said inspecting Jack's cheek.

"Aw, it ain't dat bad." Spot said, standing behind me.

"He's right, it ain't dat bad." Jack reassured me.

"I can't tell, come inside, I'll clean it up and then I'll be able to tell how bad it is." I said grabbing Jack's hand and leading him inside before he could protest. I dashed into my bathroom to grab stuff from my medicine cabinet. It was then I realized I couldn't carry it all so I called Jack into the bathroom.

"Hey, Jack, can you come here a second?"

"Ya rang Angel?" he asked walking in the bathroom.

"Yeah, come here." I said pushing myself up on the counter so that I could be more on his level. "This might sting a bit." I cautioned as I dabbed peroxide on his face.

"Gah, yea, it stings."

"I warned you; but that part's done at least." I smiled.

"What's da next path?"

"Erm, I don't know, MOM!" I shouted.

"Dat was my eah." Jack complained.

"Oh, sorry."

"Angelica, where are you?" my mom asked walking in my room.

"In here!" I shouted from the bathroom.

"What did you need sweetie?" she asked when she saw me sitting on the counter and Jack standing in front of me.

"Jack got hit in the face with ice, how bad does it look to you?" I said making Jack face her.

"Well, it looks like it needs stitches, just take him to the ER."

"WHAT?!" Jack asked in shock.

"She said you might need stitches." I repeated.

"No it don't." he said shaking his head.

"Oh stop being a baby, come on." I said dragging him out the door.

We got to the ER a short time later, Blink and Dodger came with us, why I don't know but they did. The doctor on duty said that Jack did need stitches and started preparing to put them in so he tried to give Jack a shot to numb the pain. The process was a bit difficult because apparently, Jack had jumping veins; which is where the wall around the vein is so thick that the person administering the shot has to dig deep to find it. It was also a bit painful for me because every time they tried to stick him with the needle he almost squeezed my arm off.

"Uh, Jack, sweetie, would you mind loosening your grip on my arm, I can't feel my hand anymore." I said as sweetly as possible.

"Oh, sahy Angel, but I don't like needles, especially when dey're diggin inta me ahm." He said with a grimace as the doctor again tried to give him the painkiller.

"Well, let's try this arm again." The doctor said switching arms.

Finally they found a vein to put the painkiller in and let it work it's magic. A short time later, Jack was stitched up and ready to go home. And after a quick stop by the hospital's pharmacy, which was the only one open on Christmas day. Jack caught a glimpse of my world when he ran into the door on the way out of the ER.

"Angel, you're supposed to be guiding him!" Dodger exclaimed.

"Oops." I replied.

"Well, he took care a youse, now ya gotta take cah a him." Blink said as Jack stumbled along.

"Ah an ake air a slf." Jack mumbled.

"What?"

"Ah an ake air a slf." He repeated.

"I think that means he can take care of himself?" Blink asked. Jack nodded vigorously at Blink's comment.

"Which is why you ran into the door?" Dodger asked.

"Jack look out!" I yelled before he slammed his knee into a car fender. I grabbed him by the shoulders and steered him in the right direction. I let go for two seconds to grab my keys and throw them to Dodger and ran into his back.

"Yd ou un intome?" Jack mumbled.

"What?" I asked.

"He wants to know why you ran into him." Blink said becoming Jack's official interpreter.

"Because Jack, you stopped." I told him, grabbing his shoulders once again.

This continued the entire way to the car. Once we got there, I "gently" guided Jack into the back seat and Dodger drove home.

"Well, this is one Christmas I'll never forget!" I said sarcastically.

"It ain't ovah yet!" Blink said from the front seat.

"No…" I said not catching his drift.

"Oy vey!" Dodger shouted. "Everyone is gonna be at the house tonight and we've got Jack who's drugged up."

"Oy, that's a nightmare waiting to happen!" I said looking at Jack who was slumped over in the seat.

"It'llbefun" Jack mumbled again.

"Blink, interpret please."

"It'll be fun."

"No, it won't!" I argued.

We pulled up in the driveway and began guiding Jack to the house. We had almost made it safely when a football pegged not Jack but me in the head.

"Sorry!" Skittery yelled.

"You'll be sorry!" I yelled back about to run after him, when Dodger grabbed my arm to keep Jack standing while she opened the door.

"Kill Skittery later, right now we've gotta get him inside." She said turning the knob.

We discovered that inside wasn't much safer as we came inside and saw Ace sprint into the family room. Media came running around the corner, pillow in hand, and pounced on Ace.

"Good, ya home. Media, get offa me goilfriend and go attack Angel or sumptin." Spot yelled.

"Hold it, let me get Jack settled before anyone pounces on me!" I yelled into the chaos.

Just then Mush and Bumlets came rushing in the backdoor and tracked in slush. Which Jack slipped in causing both of us to fall in a heap on the floor, with me on the bottom.

"Mush, Bumlets, wipe your boots off before you track in slush!" my mom yelled, obviously not seeing Jack and me in a pile on the ground from slush.

"Sorry!" they yelled.

"DODGER, BLINK, HELP ME UP!!!!!" I yelled.

"AAEEE, sto shodin me ea." Jack mumbled.

"You know, without Blink, I don't know what you're saying." I told him. He just waved his hand as if to say never mind, it's not worth repeating. Dodger and Blink came to my rescue and pulled Jack off of me so that I could stand up and get him settled before Media called an all out war. We all turned into the family room and found an open chair, in which we quickly deposited my incapacitated boyfriend.

"Hey, I was reading there." Mouse complained.

"Yeah, well, your reading spot has been taken over due to Angel's drugged up boyfriend." Dodger objected.

"What happened to him?" she asked.

"Well, someone threw an ice clod at him." I said.

"Was it you?" Bumlets asked.

"No, genius, it wasn't me." I said narrowing my eyes.

"Now Acorn, play nice." Media said walking up.

"Grrrr."

"Oh you did not just growl at me!" she said, getting ready to pounce.

"GET THE POPCORN IT'S ANOTHER TICKLE FIGHT!" Spades shouted as she and Skittery walked in.

"Oy, not now." I moaned.

"You're in for it now Angel, she's been pretty hyper today." Mush smirked.

"Great, that's all I need." I said sarcastically as Media jumped on me.

"RED MOSQUITO!!!" she cried.

"UNGH" I said swatting at her.

"Aw come on Acorn!" she smiled trying to tickle my sides.

"Ah, stop, Media!!!!" I screamed. Jack must have mistaken my screams for Media to stop as a desperate plea for help, because he knocked Media off of me. There was a moment of silence before Mush tackled Jack.

"Oy Vey!" I said watching Jack attempt to fight back.

"Mush leave him alone, he's drugged and doesn't know what he's doing!" Media hollered.

"Watch the stitches!" I said as Mush's fist came awfully close to Jack's injured cheek.

"What?" Mush asked stopping suddenly and looking at us curiously.

"He has stitches and he's drugged, so he doesn't know what he's doing and he's talking all weird and stuff." Dodger explained.

"Fine." Mush said with disappointment.

"When he gets better we'll let you fight him." I said.

"They already did that at laser tag, do they have to do it again?" Ace said.

"As long as dey don't kill each oddah, it's fine." Spot commented.

"Not really." Said Mouse.

"COUGHAWKWARDCOUGH." Coughed Skittery.

"Let's all have some cookies and watch a cheesy TV special." Media said in a mocking voice.

"No seriously, let's do it!" Spades said.

"I was being sarcastic, but ok, cookies are bueno." Media said rolling her eyes.

"Cookies are bueno." I repeated.

"Ye cooies buno." Jack mumbled.

"What did he say?" Mush asked.

"He said Yeah, Cookies are bueno." Blink translated for us.

"How do you know what he's saying?" Mouse asked.

"I dunno, I tink it's cause he's been livin in me house foh a mont."

"Is it the drugs that make him talk like that or was it Mush punching him in the face?" Ace asked.

"It's the drugs." Dodger, Blink and I all replied.

We were soon gathered around a platter of cookies and were watching "The Santa Clause" on TV. We laughed a lot during the movie, mostly because Jack would try to laugh at something and end up hurting himself and we'd laugh at him.

"Ith noh fuy." He mumbled.

"Yeah it is!" we all laughed, having gotten used to his mumblings by now. He picked up a cookie and chucked it at Skittery.

"Ow, why me?" Skittery whined.

"Oh get over it, it didn't hurt that bad." I said.

"How would you know?"

"Because everything is attracted to my head for some reason." I replied.

"Oh."

"You're so conceited Acorn, it's all about Your Head!" Media laughed.

"Yeah well, what can I say?"

"Nothing in your defense."

"PHBBT" I blew a raspberry at her.

"Ew, you're getting spit all over the cookies!" Spades scolded.

"Yeah, we don't ALL want your spit in our mouths!" Spot said looking at Jack.

"HUH?" Jack asked.

"Go back to sleep love." I said.

"Aww, they have pet names." Media said in a mockingly sweet voice that she does so well; which got her a smack in the head from Mush.

"Hehe" I laughed. "Yeah"

And that was how Christmas was spent, sitting with my boyfriend in the hospital for most of the day. It was most definitely a Christmas I will never forget!
