(A/N): Part two of Christmas! There's a lemon in this chapter. So…you've been warned.

Henry and Sean were walking towards the elevator when they were pulled into another hall.

"God! Was there a need for that?" Henry said as he stared at Lucia and Alena (Jeff's sister and cousin).

"We hear that you guys are trying to get Shina and Jeff together." Lucia said as Sean pointed at Henry.

"He is. I'm just singing in her band." Sean said as Lucia stood between them and hooked arms with them before continuing to walk.

"You see, we have been trying to get these guys together for years! They always manage to push each other away though. But! I think you guy can help." Lucia said as Alena nodded.

"Uh…how so?" Henry asked as Alena pressed the elevator button.

"Don't worry we have a plan." Alena said as they all stepped into the elevator. Reese and Bart – Bianca's dad – rented out the penthouse as the main room for everybody to hang out in and spend Christmas in. Everybody had their own rooms to stay in, but still spent most of their time in the penthouse.

"Damn it Wilmer! This is the fifth time!" Rafy yelled as he threw down his PS3 controller. "You and Flash have to stop ganging up on me!" Rafy yelled as Wilmer and Flash snickered.

"What are you guys playing?" David asked as he plopped down on the floor.

"Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare." Flash said as David laughed. He grabbed the forth controller as he smirked.

"Prepare to die." He said as they all scoffed.

"I'm warning you for your own safety. Don't do it." Emma said as Flash rolled his eyes.

"He can't be that good." Flash said. After a few minutes David threw the remote on the ground with a satisfied smile. Flash, Wilmer, and Rafy stared at the screen in disbelief.

"Told you." Emma said as all three boys continued to stare at the screen in shock. Donovan was watching from afar as his mother talked with Rouge and Midnight. He was happy to see her getting along with them. Conner slid into the seat next to him by the bar.

"So, how's it going with Kim?" Conner asked making Donovan smile.

"Great. Fantastic. Amazing." Donovan said as Conner laughed.

"Practically every positive adjective in the human dictionary?" Conner said as both guys laughed. "I bet you were really happy your guys' first night, huh?" Conner said as Donovan smiled sheepishly.

"Uh…we kind of um…haven't really-"Conner cut off Donovan staring at him in disbelief.

"What?!" He yelled as Donovan covered his mouth.

"Everything ok?" Angela asked as Donovan smiled sweetly.

"Yeah mom. Conner and I were just having a regular conversation." Donovan said as his mother smiled at him. Donovan let go of Conner as Conner continued to gap at him.

"B-But it's you!" Conner said as Donovan rolled her eyes. "You said she was topless when you guys laid together in her bed." Conner said as Donovan sighed.

"I know, but I didn't do anything. She almost got raped! It's not exactly the best time to offer sex." Donovan said as Conner still stared at him confused.

"But that happened weeks ago! I would have expected you to jump her by now." Conner said as Donovan sighed.

"Still…it's kind of traumatizing. I don't want to force myself upon her." Donovan said as Conner looked over to where Kim was standing. Kim was talking to Liecy when Nicole approached them.

"What are you guys talking about?" Nicole said as Kim groaned.

"Kim's lack of a sex life." Liecy said simply as Kim punched her in the arm. "Ow! No need to be violent!" Liecy said as Kim glared at her. Nicole started cracking up as Kim glared at her.

"Sorry, it's just hard to believe. C'mon! It's Donovan we're talking about." Nicole said throwing her arms in the air.

"I think he's scared." Liecy said as Kim and Nicole looked at him confused.

"Of what? He's done it plenty of times before." Kim said as Liecy rolled her eyes.

"I'm not talking about that. He's probably scared because of the whole rape thing." Liecy said as Kim groaned.

"I wasn't even raped." Kim said pinching the bridge of her nose in annoyance.

"But you were almost. I think Donovan doesn't want to rush anything because he's afraid you might freak out." Liecy said as she sat on a couch next to Kim.

"I'm going to freak out if he doesn't." Kim muttered as Nicole plopped down next to her placing an arm around her shoulders.

"Who says he has to?" Nicole said as Kim raised her eyebrow.

"Spark! Heads up!" Todd yelled as a snowball hurdled towards Spark. Spark shot the snowball down with a spark and quickly fired one at Todd. "I didn't even throw it at you!" Todd said as he wiped the snow off his face. Everybody was at Poughkeepsie admiring the Hudson River.

"Its natural extinct." Spark said shrugging his shoulders.

"Great shot Spark." Stephan said as Bolt scowled at him.

"Thanks Steve." Spark said emphasizing Stephan's nickname. Chrissy laughed nervously as Bolt snickered by his father.

"Nice one Dad." Bolt said as Spark pounded fists with him.

"Hello Mr. Solari. I'm Katie Nelson." Katie said sticking her hand out. Spark raised his eyebrow as he looked over at Bolt. Bolt shook his head as Spark shook Katie's hand.

"Nice to meet you Katie." Spark said as Katie smiled brightly.

"I'm sure Bolt has told you all about me." Katie said laughing as Spark looked at her confused.

"Yeah, I guess." He said awkwardly before walking away.

"So…you're birthday is tomorrow." Alex said as he stood by Nessa. Nessa blushed and smiled nervously.

"Yeah. Um, it's sure to be exciting." Nessa said rocking back on her heels. Flash and Suzy were watching behind a wall as the two kids interacted.

"I'll say. You're going to get twice the presents." Alex said with a nervous smile.

"I'm just happy to have a family. I never want them to leave." Nessa said looking out to the river. The wind blew her hair back and Alex pushed it out of her face.

"I'll never leave you." He whispered as he held her hand.

"Aw!" Suzy whispered as Flash scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Oh please! That's the cheesiest line ever." Flash said as Suzy punched him in the stomach.

"Stop being a stupid overprotective father!" Suzy hissed as Flash glared at her.

"C'mon guys! We're going to Rockefeller Center!" Hailey said as Suzy looked at her confused.

"Why?" Suzy asked.

"To go ice skating of course." Hailey said as Derek scoffed.

"We don't need to go there." Derek said as Hydro smirked.

"What?" Andrew asked confused as Hydro jumped on the rail. "What the fuck?" Andrew said confused as Hydro smirked. Hydro jumped off the rail and froze a section of the river. People around the group gasped and started to whisper. Hydro slid across the ice before stopping by the edge.

"Hell yeah!" Winter said as she froze a piece of water. She gracefully jumped onto it as Spark followed. Derek and Lauren froze a giant section and everybody started jumping on it.

"Crap! I keep falling." Knuckles said as he tried to get back on his feet. Silver yanked his body up and into the air and started sliding him all over to place. "Silver!" Knuckles yelled as Ruby and Brice laughed. Soon other patrons started skating – or sliding – across the ice.

"Dude!" Julian yelled sliding on his knees towards Derek. "You got to make it snow." Julian said as Derek raised an eyebrow.

"You know your girlfriend can do that." Derek said as Julian's eyes widened.

"Izzy!" Julian yelled as he skated over to her. Soon enough snow started to fall from the sky as Julian's cheering was heard around. After a few snowball fights and skating competitions they all started to head back to the hotel.

"Suzy!" La-La yelled as she ran up to the unaware hedgehog. Suzy stumbled forward as La-La hugged her.

"La-La! You just now realize I'm here and hug me?" Suzy said as she put her arm around Bianca's sister. La-La laughed before pulling her aside away from Shade and the rest of the group. La-La put on a serious face which made Suzy concerned. "What's wrong?" Suzy asked as La-La stole a glance at Shade.

"What's with the thing around his neck?" La-La asked as Suzy sighed.

"The weird hoodie-jacket thing? I know. It's weird, but he doesn't listen to me. He believes he's a fashion god now and I-"La-La shook her head and interrupted her.

"No not that! The necklace." La-La said as Suzy shrugged her shoulders.

"He said a friend gave it to him." Suzy said as La-La's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Was his name Cheka?" She asked as Suzy made a face of disgust.

"No way! He died years ago! Shade was the one who killed him." Suzy said as La-La looked at her totally bewildered.

"What??" She exclaimed as Suzy nodded her head. "Why did he kill Cheka?" La-La asked as Suzy rolled her eyes.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you when we get to the hotel. We're losing the group!" Suzy said as she grabbed La-La's arm and ran towards the group. As soon as the group arrived at the hotel Kim grabbed Donovan's hand and started pulling him towards the elevator.

"Wha-"Kim cut him off by raising her hand. As soon as they reached their floor Kim started pulling him again. "Kim?" Donovan asked as Kim ignored him and continued to walk towards the room. Kim quickly opened the door and locked as they entered it. Kim made Donovan sit on the foot of the bed as she stood in front of him. She quickly took of her shirt as she heard a sharp intake of breath. "Kim…" Donovan breathed out.

"I'm not afraid." Kim said straddling his lap and placing her hands on the side of his head. She tilted his head up to look at her.

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting." Donovan said as he flipped her onto the bed with him hovering over her. Donovan captured her lips in a searing kiss as he ripped off his jacket. He kicked off his shoes as he slid his tongue across her lips. Kim opened her mouth before intertwining her fingers with his quills. Their tongues battle for dominance with Donovan winning eventually. Donovan trailed his kisses down her neck Kim moaned as he traced her collarbone with his tongue. Kim ran her hands down to the hem of his shirt before pulling it over his head. Donovan snaked his hand around her back and quickly unhook her bra. He let it slide off her arms as his eyes glazed over.

"Beautiful." He said before moving his hand towards them. He started massaging them before lowering his mouth to one of her breasts. Kim moaned as she grabbed and pushed his head closer to her chest. She could feel Donovan's smirk against her chest before he switched over to her other breast. He started to run his tongue down her stomach dipping his tongue into her navel. He unbuttoned her jeans in one swift move and pulled them off. He groaned when he saw that she wasn't wearing any underwear.

"I thought we could have sped this up." She panted as he smirked and parted her legs. He didn't hesitate as he dove into her legs lapping her juices. Kim arched her back as Donovan continued his assault on her. Kim's hips started to buck and Donovan had to pin them down as he continued his work. Kim grabbed his face and pulled him up to her lips. She pushed his pants off his body along with his boxers. They were both breathing heavily as they stared into each others eyes.

"You ready?" He asked as she smirked.

"Been ready." She said as he slowly started to enter her. They both moaned at the sensation. Donovan soon started thrusting in and out as Kim bucked her hips meeting all his thrusts. He kissed her passionately as he picked up his pace. Kim's body stiffened as she screamed out in pleasure. Donovan slowly released after her and collapsed on top of her.

"I love you." Donovan panted as Kim smiled and brushed her bangs off his forehead.

"I love you too." She whispered as Donovan smiled against her skin. Suzy was sleeping against Shade in their room comfortably. After dinner everybody was pretty much trashed so they went to sleep. Shade shifted in his sleep and his stone fell onto Suzy's hand. Suzy grumbled in her sleep as her dream shifted into something different.

An unfamiliar area opened as a hooded figure walked quickly through it. The figure was male and entered a church. The male revealed himself as Cheka as he walked to the first pew. He kneeled down and folded his arms in prayer. He looked up at to what he believed to be God.

"God, why? Why did you take me Rosa and David away from me? My love and my son! Why Lord!? Why!?" He yelled into the church. His voice echoed throughout the chapel as he started to sob.

"Cheka…" He heard the familiar voice say. He looked up to the spirit of his beloved.

"R-Rosa." Cheka stuttered as he stood from the pew. Rosa smiled down at him as he wiped his tears. "Love, is that really you?" Cheka asked as Rosa hovered down to his level.

"Yes Cheka. It's me." Rosa said as Cheka smiled at her. "You're going to have to do some bad things in your life Cheka." She said as Cheka looked at her confused. "To get to me." She said as Cheka got down on his knees.

"I'll do anything baby! Anything!" He said as Rosa's hand ghosted over his cheek. (Pun very much intended)

"Cheka. You'll die sometime, but it's not now. When you do you'll visit the person who took your life. You will give him this." She said handing a dark green stone to him. Shade's stone.

"What's his name? Where is he? Rosa…please." Cheka said standing back up.

"I can't tell you all that, but I can tell you his name. His name is Shade. Shade the Hedgehog. Don't go and try to provoke him now. The time will come and you'll know." She said as Cheka looked back at the stone in his hand. "That is yours. You must wear it. It's the stone of friendship. You will give Shade a friendship he'll and you'll cherish forever." She said as Cheka looked back at her.

"Rosa…what does this all mean?" Cheka asked as Rosa smiled at him.

"You'll know soon my sweet husband. You'll know soon." She said kissing him on the cheek before disappearing.

"Rosa!" Cheka yelled.

Suzy woke up panting and sweating as she looked around the room. She leaned back into the bed as she stared up at the ceiling. Her eyes glanced at the stone resting on Shade's chest. She held it up in confusion.

'How did Shade get this? Did Cheka really give it to him? Was this just a weird dream? Yeah…just a dream.' Suzy thought as she let the stone drop on Shade's chest. Suzy cuddled up to his side and drifted off to sleep.

"CHRISTMAS!!!!" Garrett yelled as he ran and started pounding on everybody's door.

"What the hell?" Shawn said as he opened his door with Ruby appearing by his side.

"Christmas!" Alena and Tyson yelled as they ran towards the penthouse.

"Everybody wake up!" Garrett yelled as everybody slowly came out of their rooms. Flash ran and picked Nessa up into his arms.

"Happy Birthday!" Flash yelled as Nessa laughed. Ivy and Aiden were close behind singing "Happy Birthday" as they went towards the elevator.

"Isn't your birthday coming up soon?" Cherry asked as she looked towards Shina.

"January first! The first day of a whole new year." Shina said as she smiled brightly.

"Ok, this is how we'll do it." Lucia said as Sean groaned.

"How did I get wrapped into this?" Sean muttered as Henry crossed his arms.

"Because I'm in it and I don't want to be alone." Henry said as Sean sighed.

"We'll get them under the mistletoe and bing-bang-boom they'll be a couple." Lucia said as Alena nodded.

"Who says they'll even kiss?" Henry asked as Alena pushed the button for the elevator.

"They have to do it. It's tradition." Alena said as both boys sighed. Everybody rushed into the penthouse excitement written over their face.

"Presents!" Tyson yelled as he and Alena sat by the tree.

"You ready for this Silver?" Todd said cracking his knuckles and his neck.

"It's just passing out presents. It's not like we're at the Olympics with Mario." Silver said as Renegade looked out to the readers. Silver and Todd started handing out all the presents as everybody quickly started attacking them.

"An iTouch and a skateboard! Thanks Mateo." Jeff said as Shina's dad smiled at him.

"It wasn't much." He said as Jeff played with his iTouch.

"'Like the new iPod just touch it and turn her on'." Henry said reciting lyrics from "You're a Jerk" as Jeff just stared at him.

"Never do that again." Jeff said as Shina laughed. "What did your dad get you?" Jeff asked as Henry walked away.

"Oh! Um, a scarf, an iTouch, ad this charm bracelet." She said lifting her wrist up to show Jeff. "He says it's a bunch of charms that remind him of me." She said as Jeff nodded.

"Well, I don't think my gift will top it." Jeff said as Shina gasped. She happily took the box from his hands and started ripping off the paper. She opened up the white box that hid under the wrapping and gasped. She gently pulled out a silver locket and opened it. Inside it was a picture of Jeff and Shina lying on the grass and watching the stars.

"Wow…it's beautiful." Shina said as Jeff put it on for her. She lifted it up before smiling at Jeff. "Thank you." She said as he smiled. "Here!" Shina said as she hand her gift to him.

"What is it?" Jeff asked as Shina rolled her eyes.

"Open it!" She said as she pushed the present towards him. Jeff slowly opened his gift before a smiled stretched across his face. It was a silver watch, an expensive looking one. Shina reached over and lifted up the clock to reveal a picture of her, one of his favorites. "To always remember me…you know?" She said nervously.

"It's great. Thanks." He said as they both hugged each other.

"Maybe they won't need help." Sean muttered to Henry.

"Oh no…they will. Just watch." Lucia said as Henry and Sean looked back. Jeff cleared his throat as Shina quickly pulled away.

"So…I'm just going to give everybody else their presents." Shina said as Jeff nodded. She quickly walked away and started picking up presents. Sean and Henry groaned as Lucia shook her head. Everybody soon started exchanging presents and cheering about what they were getting. Shadow and Amy pulled their children away to discuss a few issues.

"Did you talk to her?" Amy asked as Serenity sighed.

"Forget it, Mom. She's a bitch." Ebony said as Amy gasped and glared at her.

"Don't talk about your sister like that." Amy scolded as Ebony scowled and rolled her eyes.

"Mom, she doesn't even want to be our sister." Shade said as Amy looked at him sadly.

"No…" Shadow said as Serenity frowned.

"She thinks she doesn't belong with us." Serenity said as Amy clenched her fists.

"She does! You all are going to take me to her!" Amy said as all the kids sighed.

"We don't know where she is." Shade said as Amy sighed into Shadow's chest.

"I'll have Tails track her." Shadow said as the kids just nodded. They all came back into the house to hear Brice screaming.

"Who's pregnant!?" He yelled looking at Nicole and holding a pregnancy test. He looked panicked and everybody was staring at Nicole.

"Just because he found it doesn't make it mine!" Nicole exclaimed as everybody started looking around.

"Um…" Ginger said as everybody snapped their heads towards her. "That's mine." Ginger said as everybody gasped. Derek and Reese gaped at her as Luna smiled brightly. "Derek?" Ginger said as she turned towards her husband. Derek's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he fainted.

"Yes! Pay up Spark! I told you my kids weren't going to be the first ones!" Jerry yelled as Alchemy rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to be an aunt!" Pamilyn yelled as she went to hug her sister-in-law. After all the craziness about Ginger's pregnancy everybody sat around for breakfast.

"Hey Lilac!" Todd said walking into the kitchen. "You got another present." Todd said as Lilac looked at him confused.

"From who?" She asked as Todd shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know. It doesn't have a name." Todd said handing her the gift and leaving the kitchen. Lilac finished cleaning her plate and grabbed the present. She slowly unwrapped it and opened the box. It was a necklace with black rope and a bright red stone. It was not a menacing red; it was the red that made you think of love. In the middle of was a symbol that had three spokes with gaps between them. Lilac admired the stone and placed the necklace on before entering the living room.

(A/N): Happy New Year! The picture of Lilac's symbol is on my website. I've decided to dedicate this whole story to someone who has recently passed.
