New Christmas Traditions with the Scofield and Burrow's Family

Chapter 8

Nicole and Matt came running out of their bedroom with their pj's on and headed for the kitchen, where Michael and Sara were waiting for them. "How many do you think he wants?" Matt asked as they were preparing Santa's milk and cookies.

"How about two, one cookie from each of you" Michael said as he placed the empty plate on the table for them.

Nicole and Matt placed a cookie each on the plate and then a few carrots for the reindeer. Sara poured the glass of milk for them. Matt picked up the plate and Nicole took the glass of milk and they slowly made their way to the living room.

"Oh good Matt and Nicole brought me some snacks" Linc joked with them.

"They're not for you uncle Linc" Matt said placing the plate on the side table.

"They're for Santa" Nicole pointed out putting the glass of milk beside the plate.

"So is everyone ready?" LJ asked as he pulled out a book. LJ sat on the small sofa with Danielle and Nicole and Matt snuggled up with them. Lincoln and Hannah had claimed the other sofa leaving Michael to sit on the floor by the warm fire with Sara sitting between his legs resting her head on his chest as he ran his fingers through her hair.

LJ began to read "'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." They all looked at Lincoln and laughed remembering Lincoln's last encounter with the mouse in the kitchen.

"None of you are ever going to let that go are you" Lincoln said.

LJ continued reading and they all listened knowing they were all together for Christmas.

At the end of the story Nicole and Matt could hardly keep their eyes opened. Michael and Sara slowly walked over to where they were sitting with LJ and Danielle, Michael picked up Matt and Sara picked up Nicole and they carried them to their bunk bed.

As they returned to the living room Lincoln, Hannah, LJ and Danielle had already started putting out the Christmas presents. LJ saw one with his name on it and started to shake it. "I wonder what it is?" LJ asked curiously.

Lincoln garbed it from him "Not until morning boy" Michael and Sara laughed at Linc and LJ.

After everything was set Lincoln ate the cookies and drank the milk making sure to leave a few crumbs for the twins to see in the morning. They all decided to call it a night and headed for their rooms. Michael entered his and Sara's room and collapsed on the bed and just laid there as he was so exhausted. Sara walked into the room and saw Michael just lying there "So do you want your Christmas present or do you want to go to sleep?" Sara asked in sexy quiet voice.

Michael lifted his head to see she was wearing a short plum colored lingerie piece. Michael quickly sat up no longer feeling tired. Sara laughs as she slowly and seductively walked towards him. Michael stood up and put his arms around Sara and brought his lips to meet hers. Sara parted her lips inviting Michael tongue inside. Both them were lost in the passionate kiss, like they were the only ones in the world. Finally coming up for air, Michael spoke softly "So do you think we will be alone tonight?"

Sara smiled as she turned in his arms so her back was against his chest. "Trust me those two aren't leaving their own bed tonight because I told them Santa only comes it they sleep in their room" she turned her head and gave soft kisses on his neck.

"Good" and with that Michael turned her to the bed and lay her down. They kissed making them both melt as they held each other closer and tighter. Michael ran his hands along her body as Sara ran her fingers over his back. Both of then gave a groan due to the sensation of the kiss and the warmth and comfort them felt in each others arms as they made love.
