a few days after the baby shower Kate announced that their christmas work party which was to wear the worst and wackiest christmas jumper where you win a prize which was on the 23rd of december day before christmas eve which did not go down to well with the staff but there was nothing they could do to change it.

Lacey and Megan were at the mall shopping for the christmas work party which Lacey was invited to as well seeing as her father and mother were both going but obviously not together because Kate was going out with Todd and Megan and Peter are an Item too.

"How about this mom, it really would look good on you" Lacey beamed holding up a short but tight looking cocktail dress which made Megan turn her nose up at.

"ermm Lace, I am pregnant don't forget" Megan said as she looked round the boutique not really seeing what she was looking for.

"I know but you would look a very yummy mummy in this" Lacey laughed as she saw her mothers reaction and placed the dress back straight away.

" let's try somewhere else" Lacey walked casually out the store with Megan trailing behind.

"How about this shop , this looks better doesn't it" Megan said as she looked in the window

"Yeah let's go in" Megan and Lacey tried what seemed to be the 10th shop and they were both willingly going to give up as they both were fed up.

"Omg Mom this is the one"Lacey rushed over to a jumper which was round like a christmas pudding and was totally horrible but was appropriate for tonight's party. the jumper was ideal for Megan because it would fit round the bump as she was heavily pregnant.

"Well done Lace , that is the one now all we need is something for you" Megan said as she handed over her credit card to Lacey who squealed with delight and began rushing round the store whilst Megan sat down near the changing rooms knowing this was going to be a long day.

Lacey reappeared with several dresses and rushed into the changing rooms to try them on.

"nope this is coming straight off " Lacey only just put this dress on but she was not happy at all.

"Oh this is quite Nice , what do you think mom?" Megan forced a smile to hide the dislike for the dress , if you could call it a dress Lacey now had on.

" you hate it , right that's totally a no " Lacey laughed which made Made Megan laugh.

"Lacey , where are here to look for the worst christmas jumpers not dresses, now come on " Lacey sighed and got changed back into her original clothes.

"Wow look at that , that has to be the worst jumper I have ever seen" Megan laughed because she had to agree.

Lacey now had her jumper which just as horrible as Megan's as it everything to do with christmas you could think of on it and it was what you call "in your face" with just so many colours and sparkles.

once they had their jumpers they headed home to get ready for tonight just because they were wearing horrible jumpers does not mean they can't wear high heels or jeans.

Peter was on the last bit of paper work as he had already been to one of these sort of parties in the past and had a jumper which was ideal for this party so he left Megan and Lacey to do a bit of shopping while he finished paper work. a few moments later Peter called it night and headed to home to see how Megan and Lacey had done on their shopping spree.

Peter arrived home to hear the sound of laughter fill the house as he approached his and Megan' bedroom to see Lacey laying on the bed and Megan laughing with tears streaming down her face looking at her reflection in the mirror wearing the tacky jumper which was not Megan but was the idea of the tacky jumper party in the first place.

"you having fun in here girls" Peter said as he walked into the room with a smirk on his face.

"Don't you dare laugh and there will be no pictures taken tonight understand both of you" Megan said as she pointed at Peter and then at Lacey who tried to hold her laughter in.

"Ok , but I have to say you do look rather fetching in this jumper" Peter said as he wrapped his arms around Megan from behind and kissed her cheek.

Peter winked at Lacey who smiled back.

" come let's get ready to have the laugh of our lives" Peter said as he let go of Megan and got his jumper out and laid it out on the bed where Lacey burst out laughing.

" how dare you laugh at my best jumper" Peter joked before he left the room to shower.

Lacey left the room to get ready for the party tonight. once Peter was showered he got changed into his jumper and a pair of jeans and smart shoes and applied a splash of aftershave and he was done. Megan was still getting ready fussing about her hair and make-up. once she was pleased with how she looked she grabbed a pair for skinny jeans which were special elasticated waist for pregnancy and a pair of her famous heels where were still cutting her feet to shreds but she didn't care but she still had to have a bit of Megan whether it was just a pair of shoes but it made her feel better and less stupid wearing the jumper.

Lacey appeared ready to go wearing her new jumper with a pair of leggings and ugg boots with her phone tucked in her hand ready to take some crafty snaps tonight and ready t share with the world of twitter and Facebook.

Megan , Lacey and Peter arrived at a good time where the party was in full wing. Megan looked round at all the colourful jumpers which dazzled in the room and how people had gotten hold of these horrible jumpers and she was sure that some of them actually had them for ages and actually liked them.

" wow , I never thought i would ever see the day when Megan Hunt actually joins in the festive fun" Kate said as she approached the group and smiled at their jumpers.

"I know , let me make this clear, this is the last first and last time you will see me like this and nice jumper by the way" Megan smirked at her friend.

Kate laughed she couldn't believe Megan sometimes.

"Is dad here?" Lacey asked Kate who nodded and pointed to a man wearing a jumper with a big snowman on the front holding a glass of wine chatting to a group who were laughing and smiling.

"I'm going to say Hi to dad quickly , ok mum?"

"You don;t have ask me to see your father" Megan smiled at Lacey as she watched her daughter wonder of to see Todd.

"well thanks for coming , sorry excuse me got to sort Budd out yet again " Kate rolled her eyes and left Megan and Peter to wonder round the room where they found Sam , Ethan and Curtis looking very christmas full of festive cheer.

" You also look like you don't want to be here too" Megan said as she took another glance round the room.

"actually , do you know all these people" Megan said as she could not recognise one face.

"yeah , that's Jenny whose name you never remember and so you call her claire and over with her is the receptionist who always tries to give you messages but you just ignore him" Curtis said with a smirk on is face.

"Oh right " Megan said not really interested or listening to Curtis.

the party was under full swing and everyone was having a good time and full of festive spirits Megan made a quick move to the restroom for the 5th time in the last half an hour. Once Megan and left the toilet she felt someone place their hand at the small of her back which made her turn round sharply to come face to face with Todd who looked rather merry as his pupils were dilated.

"Hi Todd, what do you want?" Todd never answered he pushed Megan back so she was backed against a wall and could not move.

"Todd, what are you doing , your drunk aren't you?"

Peter was becoming worried Megan and been gone a long time so he decided to see if he got caught up talking to anyone but that was unlikely as Megan didn't know half the people at work.

Peter walked round the room and still no sign of Megan so he decided to check the toilets.

Todd Placed is lips on top of Megan's Just as Peter saw from the other side of the room which crushed his heart and could not watch anymore so he stormed off back to their group but . hat Peter did not see was Megan trying to push Todd off her but he was stronger than her.

"Dad, what the hell are you doing , get off mum" Lacey Pushed Todd away from Megan who rushed away with tears streaming down her cheeks with Lacey trailing behind.

"I just wanted to say to you all thanks for coming and Merry Christmas " Kate said to cheerfully to the party goers.

" yeah right happy frigging Christmas" Peter muttered to himself but this dd not go un notice by the others.

well I hope you all liked that and as for the jumper party well that was last-minute thought and something that Megan would never go to or be seen wearing which made me laugh the thought of it lol.

well please keep those awesome reviews coming and I will tr to up date again before Christmas for you all. if I can't get on well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all big hugs.
