A/N: I hate to put this in bold, but I have been having some problems with a person on the site. This person for the longest has been sending me private messages telling me that my stories suck and that I should stop writing because I am horrible also claiming that I stole her idea (I did not steal your idea because at the time you did not have an account on this site, also, Living on a prayer is a sequel to another story). It started about 3 weeks ago with my Living on a Prayer story and has now moved into the last three stories that I write. I'm appealing to this person now, because I know that you will be reading this chapter. Please leave me alone, I have been doing this for enjoyment and I do not appreciate you coming here and bashing me and my work. I continue my stories because I have loyal readers who enjoy what I do. But then it is people like you that ruin it for them. So I am asking you nicely, if you do not like what I have to say don't private messages me, please leave me alone. (P.S if I want to write a sequel to Living on a Prayer, later on, I can, who are you to tell me that I can't your not an administrator)

Anyway on a lighter note thanks: Boo2221, Princess Moon Shadow, QueenofSpades19, CSIMiamiLuver2012, OkieBeth05, LaCalleigh, BlackCat9517, Mac-a-Lacka and Delcko'sgirl08 for the comments they are greatly appreciated. Also thank you all who send me Private comments (The nice ones) and who read the story and do not comment, your readership is greatly appreciated. All of you guys keep me going and keep me writing more and more.

Also it has been brought to my attention that I will not be able to finish this in one chapter so more chapter's have been ordered (By a very loyal and close fan). So I will be writing more.

Enjoy :)

Chapter five: Santa I feel a little uncomfortable.

"Dude you might want to rethink the whole getting the parents back together thing. Do you really think your parents are going to get back together after they just went at each other like that? When I was in that living room, I could have cut the tension between them with a knife. Imagine what dinner is going to be like, Kyle I would just give up." Ray Jr said, standing in the doorway of Kyle's room.

Kyle stood at the end of the hallway that overlooked the living room. He had just watched his parents get into another one of their many disagreements since Horatio won custody of Kyle. Actually, come to think of it, they have been fighting even before the custody battle. Kyle believed that his parents fought just because they had nothing else to do with each other. Standing there still looking at the living room, Kyle thought back to a time his parents had argued about Kyle staying over his mom's for the weekend, it has been the first time they had argued infront of him:

*******************Flashback*************************

"Horatio I don't see why you won't let me have him for the whole weekend, from Friday to Monday?"

"Because Julia, Monday is not a part of the weekend and he needs to be home Sunday so that he can get his homework done and to school in the morning."

"All things that he can do here. You know Horatio when I had him, we were doing just fine. He went to school everyday and he never missed any assignments."

"Julia he missed two weeks of school because one week you decided to take him along with Ron to Hawaii and the second week because he was sick from the trip to Hawaii."

"What? You wanted me to leave him here so that you can have something else to talk to the courts about? Him getting sick was not my fault" Julia raised her voice.

"Right, just like everything else involving you Julia." Horatio turns to Kyle,"Son get your things together we are going home."

Julia was angry,"Don't you ever call me out in front of my son again Horatio."

"Our son Julia, our son or have you forgotten that?" Horatio turned his back to leave.

"No, but apparently you have."

*******************End Flashback***********************

"Kyle what are you going to do?" Ray now stood in back of Kyle waving his hand in front of Kyle's face.

"Huh?" Kyle turned around to face Ray.

"I said, what are you going to do now? Your standing there staring off into space like some looney."

Kyle walked away from Ray into his bedroom, Ray followed behind:

"I don't know, what do you mean what am I going to do."

"About your parents? There is no way they are going to get back together, the love is gone. Uncle Horatio would rather date one of the CSI'S, like say Calleigh, than get back with your mom."

A part of Kyle knew that Ray was speaking the truth, but he still had hope,"I'm not giving up on the plan."

In the den

Ron really did not want to join Horatio and the other men in the den, he would have rather stayed home and slept or something else less uncomfortable. Walking into the room, was like walking into the lions den, all eyes were instantly on him. Ron knew that these men where out to get him, he knew that it was just a matter of time before Horatio tried to bring him down again, but until that time came, he had to stomach pretend time with the Lt. and his friends:

"Hey Guys, whose playing?" Ron looked at the T.V screen, he deep down wanted no one to respond to him.

Ryan, sensing that neither of the men wanted Ron there, answered the question,"The Giants Vs The Patriots." Ryan looked at Eric, who looked angry.

"Oh, well I'm not a big fan of neither teams give me the Dolphins any day." Ron chuckled to himself.

No of the other men laughed back, Ron kept going,"I took Kyle to a game about four weeks ago, he's a real Dolphin fan something we have in common." After Ron said that line, he wished he could have taken it back.

Frank, Eric, and Ryan all seemed to look at Horatio all at once. Horatio, who was trying to ignore Ron, kept his cool:

"Ron why don't you take a seat?"

"It's alright, I'll rather stand. Easy to get away if necessary." Then another joke or comment that should not have been said.

"Suit yourself." Horatio looked back at the television.

The five men sat there in silence for a few minutes. All had their eyes on the game, but were thinking the same thought: When is the tension going to explode?

In the living room

Julia looked around Horatio's living room, ignoring the other woman, who all seemed to be ignoring her. Pictures of Horatio with his family and his childhood lined the mantle. Julia stared at all the photo's stopping when she got to the picture of Kyle, whose photo frame was in the front. Julia stared at her son, the picture was from Kyle's school pictures, he looked just like his father. Kyle had the piercing blue eyes that Horatio had, Kyle was Horatio's mini me, and Julia sometimes wished Kyle took after her in the looks department. Standing there staring at her son for some time, Julia hardly heard Yelina call out her name:

"Julia!!!" Yelina yelled.

Julia turned around and looked at Yelina:

"Yes?" Julia replied rather annoyed that she was being bothered.

"We were asking if you got what you wanted for the holidays."

Julia looked at all the woman, small talk was not her thing,"No I did not get everything that I wanted for the holidays."

"Oh I'm sorry, what did you want the most?" Tara asked, not knowing the type of woman Julia was.

"I wanted to spend the day with my husband and son on a boat." Julia looked back at the mantle.

The other ladies took that as a dismissal of the conversation. They continued talking about the holiday and children's perception of Santa Claus. Julia tuned into the conversation, thinking to herself:

"I wish Santa would come and save me from this horror I call family time."

In the dinning room

6'o clock came and Horatio walked into the living room to announce it was time for dinner. All the woman walked into the dinner room and took their seats. Kyle and Ray Jr insisted on sitting next to each other and Ron and Julia avoided sitting anywhere near Horatio. This was their way of keeping the peace, but the peace was about to be broken:

"Let us say grace." Horatio spoke.

Hope you enjoyed....
