By
the time they got to Christmas Town it was around noon on Christmas
Eve. And after hours of sitting in the hearse they were
very hyper. As soon as Jack helped Sally out of the car
they were greeted by Mrs. Claus.
"Hello! I see you
two are expecting a little one, and I see that you already have two
children. My my how the years fly by! What are
their names?"
"Well my oldest one is Sid, he's 12, the
youngest is Jackie, she just turned 6 on Halloween, and Sally,"
Jack reached over to rub her belly, "Is pregnant with a set of
twins. We're gonna name them Chris and Holly."
"How
nice, Sally, when are you due?"
"Well, my due dates
tomorrow."
"Well than what are you doing here!? Come
inside, you need to lie down."
"Mrs. Claws is there a hospital
around here?"
"Yes, we have one for if the elves get sick or
injured."
"Good because I think that I'm gonna need
it."
Later, it was starting to get dark out, and it was time for
Santa to get ready to deliver his presents to the good boys and
girls. Sally was lying on the couch, Jack was rubbing her
shoulders, and Sid and Jackie were being good, after all it was
Christmas time. All was well until Mrs. Claus ran into the
room with some bad news.
"I have some bad news."
"What's
wrong?"
"Santa's sick. He can't deliver
presents to the children this year. Unless…"
"Unless
what?" Jack asked
"Unless you deliver the presents for
him."
"WHAT?! Don't you remember how I fuc…."
Jack looked around the room and realized that his kids were in there,
"screwed up Christmas last time!?"
"You didn't screw up
DELIVERING the presents, you screwed up MAKING them."
"PLEASE
DADDY!!!" Asked Jackie.
"Well…alright."
They
didn't have time to make Jack a Santa outfit, they did let him wear
the hat though. The elves had already loaded all the
presents into the sleigh and Jack was already to go. He
gave his kids and his wife a kiss and he was off. Sally
waddled her way outside to see Jack take off. While he was
gone Sally took some scraps of fabric and began to sew some clothes
for the new babies. Jackie was playing with her
dolls…voodoo dolls that is. And Sid was experiencing
some sudden back and neck aches. After a while of making
her brother moan from pain Jackie hid her dolls and went to sit with
her mom.
"Mom can you give me a sewing lesson?"
"Sure
thing honey, the first thing you have to do is hold the needle
like…"
"Like what? Mom are you okay?"
"My
water just broke."
"What does that mean?"
"I'm having
the babies."
