Chapter three: The Holiday Spirit

Kyle dialed Ray Jr's number and waited for someone to pick up the phone, his Aunt Yelina picked up the phone:

"Good Morning and a merry Christmas to you."

"Good Morning Aunt Yelina and a merry Christmas to you too, is Ray there?"

"Hello Kyle, hold on he's right here."

Yelina passed the phone to her son:

"Hello"

"What's up Cuz."

"What up Cuz" Ray laughed

"So did you get the game?"

"I did, my mother said she had to search high and low for it because it was sold out everywhere she went. But I'm glad she got it."

"That's good, my dad got me the new Socom game, so we are in business."

"Duh, Uncle Horatio got you the game. You've been dropping hints ever since you saw the commercial you spaz."

"I'm a spaz, you were the one that nearly threw a tantrum when Aunt Yelina said that she didn't know if she wanted to buy you the halo game because it was too mature for a kid your age, baby!!"

"Whatever pumpkin" Ray teased. Ray has been calling Kyle pumpkin ever since he heard Julia call Kyle that over the phone.

"That's not funny man, when I see you I'm going to show you how much of a pumpkin I can be." Kyle laughed.

"So Kyle is operation bring the parents back together underway?" Ray asked, changing the subject.

"Dude don't say that in front of your mom." Kyle got serious.

"Don't worry man, my mom went in the kitchen to make some breakfast."

"Okay, I don't want the grown ups hearing about this, they might ruin it and yes the plan is in motion."

"So Uncle Horatio actually invited your mom and your step dad to dinner? I didn't think he would do it."

"You owe me $20 dollars because I won the bet, but yeah he invited them so all we have to do now is carry out the plan."

"Whatever cuz, but yeah we have to carry out the plan. I'm going to ask my mother when we are leaving to come over and we can put the final touches on the plan."

"Okay Cuz, I'll see you when you get here." Kyle looked out his window.

"Hey Kyle, how did uncle Horatio like the watch?"

"Oh yeah, he liked the watch a lot."

"Well I told you he would, now let's just hope everything goes smooth now."

"Yup, I'll see you later cousin."

"See ya."

The two hung up the phone at the same time.

Hours passed and Horatio and Kyle got ready for the dinner. Around 2pm, the other CSI'S began to arrive, Calleigh was the first to arrive:

"Merry Christmas." Calleigh shouted in her thick southern accent, as Kyle opened the door for her.

"Merry christmas to you too Calleigh." Kyle responded, moving out the doorway so that she can come in.

"This is for you," Calleigh handed Kyle a box,"And this one is for your father, where is he?"

"He's in the kitchen helping that chef he hired, navigate where everything is."

"Yes, that kitchen is hard to find things in." Calleigh took off her coat and handed it to Kyle.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" Kyle looked down at the coat.

"Hang it in the closet, be a good host. Man your so lazy." Calleigh nudged Kyle.

"I'm not lazy nor am I a host."

"Kyle you live here, your a host, go and look up the definition." Calleigh laughed at him, while walking towards the kitchen.

"Horatio I worry about your boy." Calleigh said, walking into the kitchen

"That makes two of us." Horatio responded, looking up from what he was doing.

Horatio and Calleigh hugged:

"Thanks for coming"

"No problem. So what do you want me to do, I am here to get my hands dirty."

"Um, nothing right now I have everything under control."

"Are you sure Horatio? I can maybe set the table or something." Calleigh looked towards the dinning room.

"No, I'm going to make Kyle and Ray Jr do that, you know put them two to work."

"Okay Horatio, I'm a guest I guess I'll have to act like one."

"Well your more than just a guest."

"I know Horatio." Calleigh and Horatio smiled at each other.

Today was the day that Calleigh and Horatio were going to reveal their relationship to the team and to Horatio's family. Horatio wasn't sure how Kyle would take it, and that worried him the most.

Ray Jr, Yelina, Eric and Ryan. All seemed to arrive at the same time. Once Ray Jr arrived, Kyle and him headed straight to Kyle's room and shut the door. Tara and Frank soon came after and the whole team and Horatio's family were there, minus Julia and Ron. This tranquility won't last for long.

Hope you enjoyed, more later
