Chapter 5: All I Want For Christmas Is You

Cheyenne, Wyoming, December 24

"Here, Krista, this one's for you." Chelsea handed Krista a small red bag with a Christmas tree on it. Krista ripped the tissue paper off and carefully took out the contents. It was a small stuffed animal that looked slightly like a panda crossed with a kangaroo.

"A Pandaroo? How did you find one of these?" Krista squealed. Chelsea smiled slyly.

"The internet can do wonderful things," she replied. Krista hugged the Cuddle Buddie tight.

"Thank you so much!" she told her best friend. Krista reached for a similar bag. "This one's for you."

Chelsea took the bag and opened it. Her eyes grew wide when she saw what was in it. "No. Way. Krista! This had to cost you a fortune!" Chelsea turned the digital camera over in her hands. It was top of the line, and probably cost hundreds of dollars.

Krista waved her hand dismissively. "It was no big. Dad got a huge promotion last month and he let me have a little extra cash." Chelsea hugged her best friend. She was always so modest.

"Now, come on! Mom bought a DVD of this old Christmas special, Snowman Hank. She said it was really good," Krista said. The two girls made their way into the living room, where they settled in to watch a Christmas classic.

Middleton, Colorado, December 24

The house shone with the bright lights strung up outside, and the stockings were hung up on the mantle. All that was left on the Possible Christmas Eve Checklist was to decorate the tree.

The Possible family, along with Ron, was gathered in the living room, each reminiscing with the memory each ornament brought. Ron held up one that was shaped like a globe.

"Hey, KP, do you remember this one?" he asked. Kim laughed and went to stand next to him.

"How could I not? That Christmas that you tried to foil Drakken's plot all by yourself as a gift to me? One of the best Christmases ever," she replied. She remembered how she had been so worried when she couldn't find Ron in any of the escape pods, the joy she felt when she had finally found him in the arctic with Drakken. Then there was the make-shift Christmas party afterwards in the leftover escape pod. Kim remembered the look on Ron's face when she kissed him under the mistletoe. A smile tugged at her lips at the thought, and they hung the ornament up on the tree together, on a branch near the top.

A few more ornaments were hung: a snowman in memory of the Snowman Hank special she and Ron used to watch together before it got replaced with Xtreme Xmas; a graduation cap for when they finally graduated after saving the world from the Lorwordian Aliens; a wedding bell to remind them of the day they got married, one of the happiest days of their lives. There was one box left. One that really wasn't supposed to be with the others at all. Kim went for it, and before her mother could stop her, opened it up. She took one look at the ornament, tears welling up in her eyes as she read the saying on it, and fled the room, leaving the box on the couch with the ornament hanging out.

'Baby's First Christmas.'

Kim's mother followed her, angry at herself for not taking care of that particular ornament earlier, and remembering the exact day she bought it.

Flashback

Anne Possible looked through the rows of ornaments, intent on buying the one that would make this year special. Finally she found it: a small teddy bear holding a stocking that read 'Baby's First Christmas.' Grabbing the box from the shelf, she headed up to the cashier, and placed it on the counter. The cashier smiled when she saw which ornament her customer had bought.

"Someone in the family is having a baby, huh?" she asked as she scanned the object.

"My daughter," Mrs. Possible replied proudly.

"Well, congratulations." The cashier put the box in a small bag. Mrs. Possible left the store, excited that her family was about to get a little bit bigger.

End Flashback

Mrs. Possible found her daughter in her old room, in a memory of her own…

Flashback

It was the morning of December 12. Both Kim and Ron slept peacefully. Until the door opened. Kim, being a light sleeper, awoke almost immediately.

"Mrs. Stoppable?" the nurse whispered. Kim sat up and stretched.

"I'm so sorry for waking you," the nurse apologized.

"It's no problem," Kim answered, then turned to shake Ron's shoulder. "Ron? Wake up." Ron gradually awoke, rubbing his eyes.

"How's Krista doing?" he asked the nurse.

"Actually, that's what I came in to talk to you about." The nurse had a solemn look on her face.

"What's going on?" Kim asked, suddenly on alert and sensing that something was wrong. "Is our baby okay?"

"I'm sorry, but… I don't have all the details… but somehow…" The nurse couldn't finish. Kim and Ron didn't need her too, and didn't want to hear it. Kim cried out and burst into tears. Ron hugged his wife close, shedding tears himself.

Their baby girl was dead.

End Flashback

Mrs. Possible went and sat by her daughter.

"Kimmie? Are you alright?" she asked. Kim looked up at her, her cheeks wet with tears.

"I miss her, Mom," she said. "I miss her so much." Mrs. Possible hugged her daughter and let her cry.

"I miss her too, Kimmie. I miss her too."
