I don't own Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

It was the day before Christmas and everyone was in the Christmas spirit. The friends were having a small party in clubhouse. The first ones there were Huang and Noah. Then came Casey and Preston. They had started to decorate and put the food together. Huang was of course in charge of the decorations, he had managed to get Christmas decorations and a mini tree. Everyone had to bring in some type of food. Noah had brought a cake. Casey had brought 4 boxes of pizza and wings. Preston had brought 4 boxes of Pizza and wings too. Soon Fin and Melinda came in bearing gifts and food. Melinda had bags of chips and Fin had brought drinks. They put their presents for everyone under the tree and said hi to everyone and started conversation with everyone else. Next was Elliot and Olivia. Olivia grandmother had made cookies for everyone and Elliot had brought brownies. Finally Alex and Munch arrived. Alex was bearing drinks and cookies, while Munch simply had candy canes and egg nog.

"Now the party can begin!" Munch said as he put in a mix CD of Christmas songs. He placed the gifts that Alex and himself had gotten everybody where everyone else had their own gifts.

Olivia rolled her eyes as she went over to Alex and said. "So how is my niece?"

"She is doing just fine. So is her mommy." Alex laughed.

"That was going to be my next question!" Olivia laughed. She looked over and saw that Elliot was talking with Noah about something. From a distance it seemed like football. Of course. She turned her attention back to Alex. "So have you talked to your parents yet?"

Alex shook her head no. "Nope. They haven't even called me to ask how their grandchild is. So until they call me, I won't speak to them."

Olivia though about what she was going to say carefully. "Okay...maybe you should step up and be the bigger person and call them. I mean Christmas is tomorrow. What is the worst that can happen? Besides you should show your parents what kind of parents they should really be. One's that don't blame or hold grudges."

Alex pondered this until she said. "Ugh...I hate it when you get on logical on me."

Olivia laughed. "You love it." she gave Alex a hug.

Casey and Melinda where off to the side talking.

"So how bad is it?" Casey asked Melinda.

Melinda wiped her tears as she said. "She might not make it to February."

Casey gasped and threw her arms around her best friend. "Sweetie! Why are you should be with your mother."

Melinda gave a small chuckle. "My mother told me to come here. She doesn't want me to stop living her life because she...is dying." She whispered the last part. She knew that her mother dying was always a possibility. Her mother had brain cancer and has had it for almost 4 years, two years ago she went into remission but 3 months ago the doctors saw that it came back. This time it spread. So Melinda tried to start getting use to the fact that her mother might die, but she was doing to good with that. She was glad she had Fin with her. She would sometimes call him late at night crying about her fears. He would always answer the phone and he would always calm her down. She look up at Fin with a smile on her face.

Fin turned away from Huang and gave a smile to Melinda.

Huang and Fin were talking about their Christmas plans and school.

"So how are you and Melinda?" Huang asked.

Fin smiled and said. "We are doing great. I can't believe it took me this long to ask her out."

"I can't believe it took you so long to ask her out." Huang laughed.

"What do you mean?" Fin asked confused.

"Everyone could tell that you guys liked each other. Since middle school man." Huang said with a chuckle.

Fin blushed. "You guys could really tell?"

"Oh yeah. But don't worry we all thought it was cute." Huang said with a smile.

Fin was blushing even more and he quickly changed the subject.

Casey and Preston were dancing to a song.

"When are you coming back?" She pouted.

Preston wrapped his arms around her and brought her closer to him. "I leave at 6pm today. We should get to Kentucky early or late morning. I come back the day after New Years."

"Aww. I won't be able to kiss you for the New Year." Casey pouted.

Preston laughed and spun her around. "Then you have to kiss me a lot today and when I get back." he pressed his mouth against hers.

Casey kissed him back and pulled away giggling. "I like the way you think."

Soon it was time to eat and open presents.

"This place is really cool." Noah commented as they sat on the couch and bean bag chairs. "I mean it's not even cold in here."

"I know! We love this little clubhouse." Casey said with a smile. "Time to open presents!" she rushed to the tree and started to pass out everyone's presents. Once it was settled she said. "Okay how are we going to do it this year?"

"This year?" Olivia asked confused.

"Since we started doing the whole Christmas eve parties we always had a special order. Last year we went by order of last names. The year before that we went by who had on the most green." Alex laughed.

"Hmm this year let's go by first name." Fin said.

Everyone agreed and watched as they opened gifts. After that was all done they cut the cake and just chilled until the parentals started calling and telling them to come on home. They hugged each other good bye and made promises to see each other before New Year.
