5 days til Christmas

"Did you try everyone's cell phone?" Emma asked the women in the house, "And no one's picking up?" they all shook their heads. Spike looked worried and Mia kept dialing Lucas' number. They'd been gone all night. It was 7am now. Should they call the police? Manny checked the bar too and they weren't there either. What the hell was going on?

Suddenly, the house phone rang and Spike ran to go get it.

"Izzy won't stop asking where Lucas is. I'm getting worried." Mia confirms, sitting at the kitchen table with them. She promised Izzy they'd go to the parade today, since yesterday the storm cancelled it. Lucas couldn't miss that!

"I just got the call!" yelled Spike running back to them, "Their at the police station. You girls stay here." She ordered.

Emma's mouth dropped and she looked to Manny. "Police Station?" Manny asked.

"what the hell are they doing there?!" Mia exclaimed. "ugh! I'm going to KILL Lucas!"

Finally, a few hours later and the door opened. All the girls who were wrapping presents raced to the entrance of the house where the guys dragged themselves in, not looking too good either.

"We're home!" sang a still drunk Spinner.

"Dad!" Emma exclaimed, seeing his bruised eye and ran to him. Examining him. He insisted he was fine, trying to wave her off.

"What happened?" Manny stared and slowly walked to Jay, pulling his head down to examine him too. He seemed fine, "Are you ok?"

"Not a scratch on me, dimples." smirked Jay down at her and she blushed a bit, taking her hands off of him. He just..he COULDN'T be really gay, could he?

"We're fine, we're fine." Tracker insists, putting hands on a worried Emma's shoulders.

"Bar fight." Lucas said, "Well, Mobster fight." Lucas corrected, taking off his boots.

Emma looked around and panicked a little, "Where's Sean?" she asked.

"Still there." Tracker replied, "It's a long story."

"But is he-"

"Emma, the guys have been through a rough night." Spike told her daughter and guided Tracker to the stairs.

"Mobsters?" Manny finally blurted out, so confused. Emma was overwhelmed too, not understanding what was going on.

"Here you go." Mia had run to the fridge to get some ice and gave some to Spike to give to Tracker. He immediately put it on his eye. She then tended to Lucas, trying to drag him into the kitchen.

"I barely slept all night I was worried Tracker, come on. Lets go catch you up on some sleep." Spike insisted, pulling her husband up the stairs.

"I just want you to know, Kelly got an ass whoopin tonight." Lucas told Emma, walking by her and finally going with Mia.

"Huh?" Emma was very confused now. What the hell! Kelly?! What did that jerk have to do with this?

"Big fight in the bar... then a bigger fight OUT of the bar." Spinner told her, and she followed him to the stairs when he needed to sit, still feeling woozy.

"You should go to bed, you're still drunk." Jay told him and he nodded.

"That'll do pig, that'll do. Guess this is the only fun thing I can look back on this Christmas." Joked Spinner to then look sad and he tried to brush it off, "Night everybody." He waved and went up stairs too. Manny eyed him, watching him go and turned back to Emma and Jay

"I think I know what will make Spinner feel better." Manny insisted, giving Emma a hopeful glance, wanting her support on this.

Emma shook her head and slowly walked up the stairs as she said, "Your worse than me with getting into people's business." With that she left.

Jay curiously followed Manny to the kitchen and saw her going through the phone book on the kitchen counter.

"Craig, Craig..." she said out loud going through the book as Jay rolled his eyes and leaned on the counter beside her.

"Here we go with that Craig again." He bitters and asks, "Is he all you talk about?"

"He was just a great guy..."

"Yeah well, news flash princess, there's more other good guys!" he exclaimed and moved in front of her. She actually jumped and looked up from the phone book. Why was he getting so mad?

She leaned against the counter for how close he was in front of her, talking down to her.

"Wow. You don't have to get so mad at me Jay." Manny says and then shut her eyes and sighed, "Okay I get it. Spinners your boyfriend... I'll stop. That was rude of me. Anyone's lucky enough to have Spinner."

"Wait." Jay said shaking his head and closed his eyes to open them and give her an insane look, "What?"

"You and Spinner... You're lucky to have him...a-and he's lucky to have you." She stammered. She didn't want to admit but yes, she was crushing madly on Spinner's boyfriend. Jay was just... kind of perfect, and a babe.

"You think..." Jay drifted off wondering why life sucked so much and asked slowly, "You think I'm gay?" he stared at her in horror.

"Your not?" Manny asked, not understanding.

"No." Jay said firmly and blankly. For god sakes, she SERIOUSLY thought that?!

"Well then... why are you with Spinner here?" Manny asked and was so over whelmed. She shook her head confused and felt like a total idiot. She assumed too fast.

"Cause we're friends and I don't necessarily have the best parents to spend the Holidays with. Their idea of Christmas is lighting our tree on fire." He explained.

"soooo... you're not gay?" drifts Manny. God. She felt so stupid right now. He was just a friend Spinner took home for Christmas so he'd have a good time.

"Not at all." He replied, staring down at her sternly.

"So you like..girls?" she asked.

"Lots." He confirms, raising his eyebrows dramatically. He was KNOWN for being a ladies man. Jesus Christ. This was like his worst nightmare. Hottest girl he's ever met and she thought he was gay!?

They didn't move. Couldn't even look at another.

Jay suddenly crashed his lips to hers, and he passionately kissed her and grabbed the back of her thighs to lift her up as she kissed him back harder. She wrapped her legs around him as she cupped his face, kissing even deeper and moaned. He sat her down on the counter, he stood between her legs and cupped her face next, kissing more passionately as she dug as his jeans, unzipping them.

"God I fucking want you so bad." he panted between the kiss and she nodded helplessly in agreement.

He ripped down the straps of Manny's shirt and tore it down to her waist. He sucked hard on her neck as he groped his hands around her firm breasts and she swung her head back, gasping and cried out as shut her eyes in ecstasy when he found her entrance, pushing inside. She laid her hands on his shoulders and moved her hips into his, both staring at another incredibly until she moaned out again, "Ohgod, Jay!"

They started to see stars. How could she ever of thought he was gay? This guy was oh so good at this.

Later that day Emma couldn't stand it anymore. See? She told you she had horrible Christmas'... what if she never saw Sean again?

Everyone had took a nap, and she was up first. Emma watched out by the window on the couch, incase he came back. The Christmas Tree was still on and Emma sat up holding her knees as she stared hopelessly at it.

Quietly, Imogen entered the room, "Will you watch a movie with me?" she asked and slowly crawled on the couch beside Emma.

Emma looked down at her little sister and smiled softly, "Why not... everyone in this house are all sleeping right?" she said.

"You know you want to anyways." her sister teased. She and Emma may have had there cat fighting sister days, but deep down they loved another. That's family. "What was the movie Gran use to always make us watch?" she asked as she went to the movie case.

"Hmph... The Christmas Carol." Emma answered, wondering back to the days nothing mattered. Where she was still rolling around in the snow at Christmas... no care in the world... nothing to worry about.

"Yea! Let's watch that one." Imogen slipped it into the Dvd player then grabbed a blanket off the couch.

Imogen and Emma cuddled up on the couch as the movie begun... it wasn't even the beginning credits before Emma's mind slipped back to Sean...

"You like Sean a lot, don't you?" Imogen asked, eyes on the screen still. They all thought she didn't notice things or wasn't old enough to understand but she did, and she usually saw things first before anyone else did. She even felt Emma tense up beside her.

"What makes you say that?" Emma asked, gazing down at Imogen nervously.

Imogen shrugged, glancing over and noted, "You stare at another alot. You're really worried right now too." she looked back at the movie. She spoke up again, "You're lucky. He's a stud."

Emma tried not to laugh at her sister for using the word 'Stud', so she smiled and shook her head. He was though, good looking in and out. He seemed to have a really good heart to but also seemed to be struggling with things. He was complicated.

Emma just watched her little sister get lost in the movie again and tilted her head so it lied against the couch. It was almost around lunch time, they were all suppose to go to the parade soon... She'd wake them up in an hour to get ready.

Suddenly the door opened but not to anyone's notice. The movie spoke to loud and the Jingle Bells song was being sun loudly. Emma even focus on the tv as Sean came inside. He looked around and heard the noise from the Tv, and saw the back on the blondes' head on the couch with her sister. He swallowed the pain in his throat and it just went to his heart. Why'd he come back?.. this was a bad idea.

He slowly moved toward Emma and softly leaned on the back of the couch watching the movie with them. Imogen felt the weight first and looked up to then smile at him, Emma was too much in thought to even notice.

"I always liked the Mickey mouse carol better." He softly joked and Emma looked over her shoulder. Her heart stopped, and they connected eyes for a second. Sean's eyes said it all, he was sorry and looked awfully regretful.

"Me too." Imogen agreed, cutting off their moment . Emma then just got up and Sean watched her leave into the kitchen. "Are you ok, Sean?" Imogen then asked, as he stood off the couch.

"Fine." He answered, distracted though by Emma and followed her into the kitchen.

Emma was getting a bottle of water and he slowly came over to her, digging his hands into his jean pockets like a boy ashamed. "Hey." he greeted "Can we talk?"

"What?" Emma asked turning towards him and staring him hard in the eye to shrug her shoulder tauntingly, "What do we have to talk about?" with that, she went up the stairs and his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Was she mad at him? Or not?

He followed her up the stairs and before she past his room, he grabbed her into his guest room and shut the door behind them.

"What Sean?" Emma hissed but couldn't help but stare at the small bruise around his perfect jawline and soften.

"Look," he said, looking quite desperate to explain, "Before your dads shop, I worked at another one..." Sean drifts, telling her the story of why tonight happened, "The shop belonged to Frank Soprono... a mobster. He's not that big but... he's got his little minions. I stole car parts for him and I supposidly owe him cause I switched jobs."

"You stole car parts..?" Emma merely whispered. She slowly sat down on his bed and he stood over her.

"People aren't perfect Emma, they don't have what you have." He confirmed, gazing down at her and around this huge house, "I was always in a bad place as a kid and when I met your Dad, he saw what I had to offer.. it was my way out, I took it, and I pissed off Frankly. I was one of his best workers he said."

"So he's trying to kill you or what?" Emma shook her head, confused still. Then remembered the time she over heard Sean and her Dad speaking that night, "That's what my Dad gave you the other night, he was trying to give you money to pay off Frank."

"I said no, I wouldn't do that to your family..." Sean drifted, and bent down to her, keeping eye level, "or you." He said quietly.

Emma heart didn't know what to do now. But when Sean slowly and cautiously slipped his hands into hers, she knew this was right, and he felt for her what she was feeling for him. Oh boy, was this gonna be complicated?

"This isn't your fault at all Sean."

Sean looked at her like she was crazy, "Emma, your Dad got attacked and so did your brother! All because of me."

She tried not to smile and admitted, "They thought it was fun."

He rolled his eyes, "Not the point Emma. I don't even deserve your family this Christmas, I ruined everything. I stayed because I-I'm selfish, because I wanted you so badly."Emma's heart stopped and she couldn't breath. He what?

Emma raised from the bed and stood infront of him and cupped his face. He stared in disbelief at her, looking at him so softly, almost lovingly. Sean had never had anybody really sincerely love him or worry about him. Yet Emma's eyes said it all and he felt shivers up his spine. Sean stared down at her lips and she cursed under her breath. Screw it.

She crashed her lips to his and he shut his eyes tight as if this wasn't real, and then slowly kissed back until he noted this was real, Emma was KISSING him, and he then kissed her back passionately, pushing her back against the wall behind her. Both their hearts were pounding and Emma ran her fingers through his hair as he continued to kiss her, and pulled away to breath but still gazed down at her body in disbelief. How could she want him? She was perfect. She could have anyone, not some theif who was crashing her familys Christmas.

Sean was pushed away slightly and gently pushed on the bed. He smirked up as Emma sat on his lap, slowly and seductively while smiling back at him and Sean slowly took her with him down to lay on the bed, staring at her in awe. She looked up and her hands ran down his muscular arms as he stared down at her, and carressed her hair. The kissed again and he felt her fingers start unbuckling his belt, and he was already hard. He wanted her. Now. Screw the fact her family was in the same house. He needed her. Had to make her his.

Soon enough Sean was making love to Emma, and their heat surrounded the room. She panted and moaned like no tomorrow. No one's ever felt like him, he touched every right spot. He was tender, yet passionate when he needed to be and playful too. She was a tease herself, and driving him crazy.

"God, Emma.." he sighed.

Outside the window, snowflakes slowly fell and the sun beamed into the room, shining off her perfect naked body.

Sean breathed heavily over her, thrusting inside and on round 3. Emma could barely keep up anymore and their bodies were dripping with sweat. He felt as if he belonged inside her. She held his wrist as he cupped the left side of her face and kissed down the right side of her neck and she closed her eyes and bucked her hips each time he pumped into her. He filled her, and she couldn't it anymore "Sean!" he was guiding deeper now, but still slow, making perfect love to her.

He rubbed his thumb on her cheek, caressing it and watching the pleasure wash over her. The pleasure he was giving her. He smirked down at her as they connected eyes. She whimpered and he kissed her and her mouth then dropped, cumming wildly. Sean panted and dug his face into her neck, going faster now, driving his hips into hers and she squeeled in pleasure. They both came hard, and it felt like it lasted forever, and felt like nothing in the world had ever felt this great. He shook and she did too, Emma clung to Sean and his finger tips dug into her hips, leaving imprints until he collapsed.

Both tried to catch their breath, laying down side by side and she rested her head on his chest. She listened to his heart pound as his hand caressed her hair. He shut his eyes and let one long breath out before half grinning. Damn, that was fucking good.

For as exhausted as they were from that big show, Emma still had the strength to lean up and kiss him deeply. For a man who just had the best sex in his life, he couldn't help but to kiss her back with as much strength he had either.

They both laid on their sides, cuddling to another and making out for as much time as they could before anyone else got up before the parade.
