New Christmas Traditions with the Scofield and Burrow's Family

Chapter 3

With Christmas just around the corner the Burrows and Scofield clan were busy packing up for their Christmas vacation. Lincoln was packing up the big van he had rented for this special occasion even though Michael had protested they should take two cars, but Linc wanted everyone together. That meant even if all eight of them plus luggage had to squish into a van for five hours. While Lincoln finished up loading a few suitcases he saw LJ's car coming down the road. L.J. hopped out of the car along with a girl with curly brown hair with red high lights and big brown eyes. LJ helped her with her suitcase and then headed over to Lincoln. "Dad this is Danielle, Danielle this is my father" he introduced them.

"Hi" Danielle said shaking his hand "It's so good to meet you. I have heard so much about you from LJ."

Lincoln smiled "All good things I hope" both Danielle and LJ laughed.

In the house Hannah was helping Nicole and Matt put on their coats. "Hey aunt Hannah will see any bears and wolves in the woods" Nicole asked.

Hannah smiled "I sure hope not. I think we will be okay"

Nicole stuck out her bottom lip "But I want to see bears and wolves. I think their cool."

Hannah started to laugh "You have always have been one to want to face danger. I wonder where you get that from."

"Well it's not from me" Michael said entering the hall with a smile.

Matt walked over to the door after putting on his coat and saw that LJ was back and waved at him. LJ and Danielle waved back and headed to the door.

"Alright Matt find your boots and put them on" Michael said before heading back to his and Sara's bedroom where she was finishing packing.

As he entered the room, Sara asked if Lincoln ever likes to have a nice relaxing Christmas at home. Michael laughed and put his arms around her "Haven't you noticed my family likes to do things to the extreme" he said while he brought her lips to meet his.

Sara let out a moan as she kissed Michael passionately. She then pulls away "I wouldn't want to ruin your Christmas present"

Michael smiled "You could never ruin it" as he pulled her down on the bed on top on him.
Sara laughed "Good things come to those who wait."

"I just want a little sneak peak," he said as he ran her fingers through her auburn hair.

Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door "Come on you two, you can give me a new niece or nephew later. Now lets go!" Linc said on the other side of the door.

Sara got off Michael and they both fixed themselves up before grabbing the suitcases and heading out the door. Lincoln smiled at Michael and then Michael smacked him on the back of his head before walking down the stairs with Sara.

Outside Nicole and Matt were playing with LJ and Danielle in the snow. Both Danielle and Nicole ran around the front yard while LJ and Matt chased them in the snow.

Once Michael and Sara finished loading up the van they called over to Nicole and Matt to get in the van. LJ and Danielle sat in the back row with Matt while Nicole sat in the middle with Michael and Sara leaving Linc and Hannah to sit in the front. Linc drove and Hannah got shot gun. At this point everyone was snuggled into the van but Linc. Michael reached over to the front to honk the horn to get Linc to hurry up. Lincoln came running out within seconds of Michael's call "Someone is impatient" Linc joked.

"So where are we going? and where is this cabin?"

Linc gave a smirk "It's a surprise"

Michael looked irritated that Linc would not tell him and Linc started to tease Michael about how he couldn't stand to be in the dark about things and can't control them. Lincoln, LJ and Sara start laughing and thinking about past events like Fox River. Sara lay her head on Michael's shoulder listening to Linc taunt Michael as they drove.
