MY DECEMBER
CHAPTER FOUR: THANKSGIVING SPECIAL
It's been along time scence December Uley celebrated Thanksgiving with her brother. So, December Uley was very excited. Not only would she celebrate Thanksgiving with her brother and Emily but the rest of the pack and their family. So it was safe to say that she couldn't wait.
At noon a knock came on the front door. "December can you get that please?" Emily asked.
"Sure" She replied getting up from the kitchen table. She walked to the front door and opened it. "Billy, Jake, you two are really early." She said.
"We would have come later but Jacob insisted on coming early" Billy replied.
"Why?" Decemer asked Jacob looking him in his chocolate brown eyes.
"Thought we could go for a run before everyone got here." Jacob answered.
"Cool. let me make sure Emily won't need my help cooking"
"Ok" He replied.
"Hey Emily!" December called.
"Yes December!" Emily called back.
"Do you need my help anymore"
"No"
"Ok. I'm going on a run with Jake."
"Alright. Don't be gone long. Dinner will be at 5"
"Ok" December turned to Jacob and said" Let's go. oh and Billy you better love me"
"Why?" Billy asked.
"Because I made that dip of mine you like"
"December I hope you marry my son one day."
"Why so you can get dip all the time"
"Yes" he replied smiling.
December walked out the door laughing while Jacob fallowed close behind with red cheeks. The two of them ran until they decided to take a break. So they phased back and went town to the beach, seeing as they were very close to it. They walked along the beach until they came to a big log and sat down. "Hey December" said Jacob.
"Yeah" December replied.
"Do you ever think about your future?"
"All the time. You?"
"Not until recently"
"Why?"
"I don't know really. I never had a reason to think about my future until now"
"Yeah I feel the same way. I didn't think about my future until I came back home"
"What do you want for your future?"
"I want to be a music teacher. I want a big house. I want a daughter and a son and a loving husband who loves and adores me. I want to cherish the good and the bad times with him. I know kind of silly but it's the truth."
"I don't think it's silly." Jacob replied looking out at the ocean.
"What about you? What do you see in your future?"
Jacob was still staring out at the ocean when he whispered "You". He whispered it low enough that December couldn't hear him.
"what was that?" asked December.
"I said I don't really know what I see in my future"
"Oh" December replied looking down with a sad expression. "What time is it?"
Jacob took out his cell phone and said "4:30 so we better head back" he replied standing up. Jacob held out his hand to help December up.
December took hold of his hand and said "Yeah"
After a while everyone was sitting outside at the table December and Sam had put up earlier that day. They were enjoying a wonderful dinner made by Emily. They had a turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, Mashed Potatos, mac and cheese, corn, and a green bean casserole.
Emily tapped her fork on her glass of iced tea in order to get everyone's attention. Once she had she said "OK everyone it's time for us to go around the table and say what we are thankful for. I'll go first. I am thankful for a wonderful husband and this crazy family I have to constantly feed. Sam you next" She said sitting down.
Sam got up and said "I am thankful for my wife, my pack, but most of all for my baby sister finally coming home. I love you December. Never forget that"
"I never forgot big brother" December said.
They went around the table until they came to Billy. "I have to say I'm thankful for my son and daughter. Sam I'm thankful you helped my son out when he was 16. December Rain"
""oh no not my middle name." December groaned.
"hush let me finnish" said Billy. "December I am thankful for you most of all. 1 because of this amazing dip but also because for the first time in years my boy is truley smiling. So thank you"
"Aww you're welcome Billy" December replied getting up and hugging him." Jake your turn"
Jacob cleared his throught and said " Well my dad, a home, and being happy again. Its been along time coming. December your turn"
"Ok well I'm thankful for my brother, Emily, that I have finally come home, to finally run freely, and the awesome car Jake gave me." Said Decemer.
After dinner they ate Pumpkin Pie and played various games on the Wii. Once everyone left December lay in her bed thinking that this was an amazing Thanksgiving. In the back of her mind December had the feeling that something good was soon to happen.
