Chris
and Holly were due in only a matter of days. Their kicking
caused Sally tremendous pain, and she was very moody. She
was so big she could barely get around, so she stayed in bed all of
the time. She couldn't sleep most nights, Chris and
Holly liked to kick and play at that time. She was
counting down the days till Christmas. Jack on the other
hand was slowly but surely adjusting. One day he put his
would be ear up to her belly, he didn't hear a heartbeat which
meant one thing, skeleton twins! That's what made Jack
more excited about their arrival.
Sid and Jackie were behaving
better. Not because they were afraid of getting into
trouble but because it would soon be Christmas. Santa
would visit Halloween Town, it took a while but he came around, he
realized that Jack had good intensions and he never tried to
"improve" another holiday afterwards.
Things were going well,
except for Sally being in tremendous pain, until Jack got a letter in
the mail. As soon as he saw who it was from he ripped it
open and read it. He was so excited! He came
running into the house with the news.
"Guess who I got a letter
from?!" Jack said happily.
"Who?" asked Sid, Jackie, and
Sally in unison.
"I got a letter from Santa. And it
says…"
"Isn't that fat old dude that tried to rape mom?"
Said Sid in a sarcastic tone.
"Ha ha very funny Sid," Said
Sally, who was on the couch, "Ignore the oldest child."
"Well
it says that we are welcome to spend Christmas in his house in
Christmas town this year."
"YAY! WE GET TO GO TO
SANTA'S! WE GET TO GO TO SANTA'S!" said Jackie as
she danced around the room with her little rag doll in her hands.
"I
DON'T WANNA GET MOLESTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled
Sid as he ran outside of the house. Everyone knew that he
was trying to be funny.
"That kid is really starting to scare
me…and not in a good way either. Sally, do you think
you're up for the trip?"
"I don't know. The
twins are due in a matter of days, they could come anytime.
"Mommy
PLEASE!!! I want to go so badly!!!!!!! They
have hospitals there."
"Well…I guess we can…"
Jackie
cut her off, "YAY! Thank you mommy!"
It didn't
take long before everything was packed and loaded into the
hearse. As Jack was loading their suitcases he noticed
that Sally brought a diaper bag with her. Jack knew that
the twins would probably be delivered while they were away, but why
should he worry, after all Sally did agree to go.
Jack thought
long and hard about this whole pregnancy thing, as he drove to
Christmas Town. He remembered the night, he and Sally got
close, the lights were low, the kids were in bed, the door was
locked, and it was the perfect night. He asked Sally if it
was "safe" and Sally told him that it was "that time of the
month" so Jack thought it was safe. It turned out that
she made it up so he could get her pregnant, and he did. When
Sally found out Jack was furious, how could she do something like
this to him? Then Jack realized how badly Sally wanted
another kid, it was the wrong thing for her to do but he couldn't
stay mad long, after all what's done is done. And as he
drove to Christmas town he turned to look at Sally. She
had one hand on her belly and one on her head, and Jack thought about
turning back but after all what's done is done.
