Winter has come around once again as the snow falls from the sky creating a white snow blanket onto the ground. Children were playing in the snow making snowmen and everyone else was getting ready for the holidays. We find ourselves with Nero and his family getting ready for the holidays and for rest to arrive. How will this go? Let's find out…
Christmas Eve...
"Mom are you sure about this?" Hyro asked as he handed the last present to her to put under the christmas tree.
"Stop your worrying Hyro. Everything will be fine." Tera answered as she placed the present under the tree.
"I know it's just our house isn't all that big and we're going to have allot of people coming over." Hyro mentions.
"Don't worry sweetie. Everyone will fit. Trust me." She stands up, kisses him on the forehead and walks off to see Nero in the bedroom getting ready.
Even though it had been at least a month since he got himself hurt from Thanksgiving, the doctors said it would take at least half a year before he could get fixed up. Regardless he was still doing somewhat better as he tries to get ready but was having some trouble. He currently was wearing a foot cast boot.
"Hey Nero. Are you doing okay so far?" She asks.
"Yeah I'm just having some trouble because of my leg."
"Let me help you honey."
"Okay." Nero relaxed and let Tera help.
"You have to take it easy. Doctor's orders okay?"
"I know, it's just hard getting stuff done though." Nero mentions.
"Me and Hyro are handling it okay. You can move a little just take it easy."
Nero sighed. Tera helps Nero with the pants since he can barely move his leg as she helps him pull them up to his waist and buckles it.
"Hey Tera, uh, nevermind." Nero sighs as he gets up and finishes getting dressed.
"Yes Nero?"
"It just feels like I keep on making dumb decisions. LIke that both times I snuck in Koda's yard." he mentions as he carefully made his way to the kitchen for his painkiller medicine.
"Nero, we've all made dumb decisions in our lives. Sometimes it can ruin our lives or hurt others. It's not that Hyro or Koda hates you. You just need to think before you do things like that. Shawn did tell me you were a hot head."
Nero sighed as he took some painkiller medicine and washed it down with a glass of water. "Well I'm suppose to take these whenever I'm feeling some really bad pain which I'm currently feeling. But it does cause extreme sleepiness. So I'll try and stay awake as best as I can." Nero tries to making his way to their dining room.
"Here let me help you." Tera grab his arm and let him lean on her as they made their way to the dining room.
"Hey dad, you okay?" Hyro asked.
"Yes Hyro. I'm fine." Nero answers.
Hyro still walks over and helps Tera help him to the recliner chair for his lay back.
"So when is our guests going to be here?" he asks as he felt his leg getting better thanks to the painkillers.
"They should be here tonight before Christmas tomorrow." Tera answers.
"Okay, I'll try to stay awake as much as I can." Nero comments as he tries taking it easy as the doctors said he needed.
"Well like I said they won't be till tonight. So you can sleep if you want."
"Okay, I love you both you two." Nero says as he closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
Tera and Hyro continued to decorating the house with Christmas decorations around the living room.
"Is dad okay he seems, not his usual self." Hyro asked a little worried.
"He's just a little out of it since you met Blair's dad Koda. The one that caught you and your father."
"Oh yeah, the guy who hung us upside down and tortured us with a Popsicle, while shooting darts at dad." Hyro sighs. "Scared the living crap out of us."
"Language mister." Tera scolded and smacks him in the head gently.
"Sorry mom. But again as scary as all that was, all that stuff with Legion beats everything." Hyro sat down to take a small break.
"Yes sweetie I know. I know but it's over now. Hopefully. Now come help me finish up so we can get ready for the guests."
"Hey mom, does anyone in our family had Arnis before?" Hyro asked a little shaken up.
"No sweetie. No one in our family has it. Only Zeya had it." She answers him while holding him steady.
"It just, Zeya didn't have it bad but I saw a baby Riolu who was barely two weeks old have a very seriously severe bad case of it. And it was just so horrible, that I haven't slept much because of it possibly happening to me or anyone I know." Hyro gripped her a little tightly.
"I know it's scary but Shawn told me she would be fine. They made the cure for her and Zeya. And Blair says it's only hereditary and there's no one in either me or your father's family who had it."
Hyro nods and gently lets his mother go.
"Do you feel better now honey?" Tera asks.
"A little...anyrate I got most of everything done in the dining room so we should be good to go and finished." Hyro comments.
"Alright then. Go get ready for when they come."
Hyro nods and heads to his room to get changed as Tera goes to her to do the same.
Meanwhile with Shawn and his family were making some final shopping before they head over to Hyro's place.
"So Zeya thought of something to get for Hyro?" Phoenix asks.
"Hmmm...not sure." Zeya admits.
"Well don't worry. You'll find something." Shawn says.
"Hey Shawn, how much time do we have before we have to go to Nero's place?" Phoenix asks.
Shawn checks his watch. "Maybe like an hour."
"I guess that means we got to hunt fast." Phoenix says.
"Yeah. Zeya go look for the present you wanna give to Hyro. We'll meet you back at the front like last time."Shawn comments.
"Alright on go. 3, 2, 1, go!" Phoenix alerts as everyone takes off to go get what they need within a hour.
Meanwhile, Blair was with her twins, Rex and Pepper while they shop around a different store.
"Hard to believe I'm actually doing shopping with the Dark Kryptonite herself, Blair." Rex comments.
"So you've seen my MMA fights as well?" Blair asked.
"Seen them, I used to win almost every bet placing money on your fights." Rex mentions.
"Rex, what are you doing?" Pepper asks.
"Hey Pepper, you do know Blair here is Blair the Dark Kryptonite from all those MMA fight bets I placed money on a while back." Rex mentions.
"I was never really into MMA fights."
"I retired about a few years ago but I still do private lessons every now and then." Blair mentions.
"Amazing." Pepper confesses
Blair shrugged a little. Blair felt a tug on her leg from Ellah and looks down.
"Meema, can we go see Santa pwlease?"
"Pwlease Meema." Kelly also asked.
"I don't know if we have time…"
"Ah shucks I think we got time to see Santa. I'll take the twins to see Santa while you two go do shopping." Rex offered.
Blair kneels down. "Alright. I'll see you two a little later okay?"
"Okay Meema." the twins said happily and followed Rex to Santa Claus and Blair continues shopping.
"Slow down kids." Pepper yells out to them.
Blair giggles. "They really are my little angel blessings." she smiled and watched them with Rex.
Rex holds their heads by his fingers as they come along to a long line to Santa Claus with other families.
Meanwhile back with Shawn and his family, Shawn was in one of those woman's dressing areas, trying to find a nice outfit to buy for Phoenix. He couldn't decide if he wanted to get her something sexy or something very sweet.
"Hm, I don't know what to choose for Phoenix."
"Hey Shawn." he heard his wife appear from close by taking him by surprise.
Shawn actually jumped to his feet and turned around to see Phoenix smiling at him.
"Phoenix, what are you doing here I thought you were...wait where's Abby." Shawn asks as he notices Abby isn't with Phoenix.
"Zeya has Abby with her shopping for stuff. I figured you and I could do some shopping together ourselves." she mentions.
"Well it was gonna be a surprise but that's ruined." Shawn comments and chuckles.
"It's okay, you don't have to show me. Besides, I'm here for a little different type of shopping." she winked at him and gently rubbed her hand on his crotch.
"Well you might get a early Christmas gift." Shawn opens the closet door and pulls her in. He closes it and locks the door behind.
"Oh this is just for shit and giggles, I know you're saving me a very big surprise Christmas present for Christmas." she comments and starts making out with him.
He makes out with her and breaks it for a moment. "Oh but just spoiled yourself. Looks like I'll have to give you a lump of coal." He says seductively.
"No I haven't you naughty Santa. Because I know the surprise gift is going to be a lot different than what this is. Besides, you know you want it. So fuck me Santa." she smirks seductively and unzips his pants and pulls them down just as she does the same with her pants.
"Oh my. You have been on my naughty list. It's coal for you baby." He roughly, deeply and french kisses her.
"Oh please, you're number one on your own list. Mrs. Clause has been keeping eye, so you're getting two large lumps of coal right now." she grabs his hand and shoves it down her shirt to feel her large breasts.
"Maybe I am." He sits down on the bench with her on his lap. He pulls off her shirt with both grins on her face. He begins rubbing her pussy lips as she moans lightly.
"Oh Santa, It's just like back on the beach." She says with moaning tone.
"Yeah, it is." He agrees and continues rubbing her until slips his finger in and gasps. She felt his fingers sliding in and begins fingering her as she moans little louder.
"Yes Santa. Dig through my stocking." She moans out.
"Shhhhh, don't want anyone to hear us."
"Let's see if you can keep me quiet." Shawn kisses her on the lips to shut her up.
Shawn fingers her faster while kissing her on the lips and she moans louder but under her breath. He goes deeper and faster until she finally climaxed and squirted against the door like a sprinkler and takes deep breaths. Shawn pulls his fingers out and made her lick his finger covered juice. She pulls up her skirt and pulls down her stockings along with her panties and dangling on her ankles. Shawn stands up and unzips his pants only pulling out his large cock with a grin on his face. Phoenix spits in her hand as Shawn brings himself closer behind her as she grabs his cock and began stroking it hard and fast.
"Oh Phoenix. You've been a naughty little girl." He moans out softly.
"Oh I have." She answers seductively.
She jerks him harder and faster to make it hard enough. Shawn couldn't bare it anymore as he just pushes his wet cock between her butt cheeks and grinds against it as they both moan.
"Oh Santa. I've been a naughty girl."
"Yes you have. Looks like you'll be getting a lump of coal."
Shawn couldn't hold it anymore as he roughly inserts his cock into her pussy as she gasps harshly and turns to a satisfying moan. Shawn pulls her arms back and began thrusting into her immediately.
"Rough now are we, Santa?" She says moaning roughly.
"Well you have been extremely naughty on Santa's list."
He thrusts harder into her as she moans little louder but tries to keep it under the ropes as possible. Phoenix lays her hand on the wall giving a little support from being penetrated by him as he continues thrusting into her. Shawn sits down with her on his lap, legs spread wide open, while holding her legs up and she wraps her arm around his neck and continues thrusting into her.
"Oh Santa. Fill my stocking with that coal you promised." She moans out loud.
Shawn continues thrusting upwards into as Shawn was close to climaxing but holds it in a bit more but couldn't hold it anymore. At the final thrusts he climaxes hard into her creaming inside her womb as it leaks out a bit while still inside as they both moan and kissed each other on the lips. He pulls it out as his spunk drips out leaking.
"Oh Santa. Maybe it's worth being naughty." Phoenix comments seductively
"Maybe it is." Shawn answers back.
They begin putting their clothes back on and came out of the changing room as if nothing happened and returned to shopping.
Meanwhile, Zeya was walking around the mall area, deep at thought on what she could get Hyro. As she looked around the stores, her little sister was playing with her fingers while she held her.
"I wonder what I could get Hyro. A game? No, he's getting them from others. A few movies? Darn I don't know what he would like. There's gotta be something, something very, very special we could cherish." Zeya thought to herself.
She heard Abby tugging on one of her ears which got her attention. "What is it Abby?" she asked.
Abby kept pointing to one store close by. It was a electronic store dealing with all kinds of electronics and other equipment for various things. What really caught her attention was the new iphone they were advertising, that loving couples can get two upgrades at the price of one.
She thought for a moment, she was indeed in need of a new phone and Hyro definitely needed one since he doesn't have one. There was a store ready to sell two of the latest special edition ones for the price of one. With a shrug, Zeya went in the store to check out the offer.
Zeya checked out all the different models of the new iphone they had in stock. Wondering what could Hyro like out of all these collections. Abby tugged on her ear again, pointing at two special ones that had the cover of their favorite video game Guitar Hero Live. She looked and inspected it a little. Soon deciding to get it for Hyro and her to share so they could always contact and call each other. Even send each other photos of one another if they wanted. She giggled quietly to herself thinking what she could send Hyro as she purchased Hyro's and got her's for free.
Meanwhile Hyro sat alone in his room holding a small present in his hands. It was a present he had for Zeya that was labeled special. He stared at it alone in the dark of his room just looking at it like he was nervous or something.
"Hyro?" he heard Tera ask him as she entered his room and turn the light on.
"Hey just, deep at thought." he answered while still looking at the present.
"Honey, if something is bothering you. You can tell me."
Hyro didn't say anything he just kept staring at the small present he had wrapped. Tera looks at the present and sees it labeled special and it was to Zeya.
"Is this for her?" Tera asks.
Hyro nods his head in agreement.
"I'm sure she'll love it, Hyro. It matters from the heart not what you give."
"I know. It's just, I mean, I really like her. I mean I really, really like her. Like you and dad like each other. Like how Shawn and Phoenix like each other." Hyro answers. "But I'm just worried about the future of next year. In one year so much scary stuff happened. And I have no idea what next year may do. And I'm just scared something will happen and we won't be so lucky that time."
"I know that feeling sweetie. Shawn has the same feeling for his Phoenix and his family. And me and your father also share that feeling. But we can't let that stop us from living our lives and let's be grateful that Zeya gets to live another day."
"I am mom. More than you can possibly know. I just, don't want to upset her if anything serious was to happen to me." Hyro confessed shaking a little in fear.
Tera could see Hyro was really scared about this. She walked over to him, took a seat next to him on his bed and hugged him softly to try and calm him down.
"I'm sure she won't get upset over a present. She loves you more than just a simple gift."
Hyro hugged her back still shaking a little. She kisses him on the forehead still holding him under her chin.
"Don't worry sweetheart. Everything will be fine."
Hyro softly nods his head.
"Okay then." She rubs the top of his head, petting it as it messes up his fur a bit.
"Did dad ever get you something very special like that necklace Shawn got Phoenix?"
"No, not that I know of."
"Oh...okay." he said softly.
"Feel better now sweetie?"
"A little yeah."
"Okay then. Now go hide that special present."
Hyro lets her go as he gets up and walks in the dining room and places it underneath the tree. Nero was still asleep on their recliner but he tried waking up a little.
"Nero, honey. Wake up sweetie." Tera comes down to check on him.
"Sorry those pain killer pills really can knock you out." He said as he tried waking up.
She giggles. "I can tell."
Nero sat up a little seeing Hyro place his special gift underneath the tree. "Whatcha got there Hyro?"
"Oh it's a gift for Zeya." He answers.
"Is it a special one?" he asked with a smirk.
"Yes dad. It's very special. I hope she likes it."
"I'm sure she will kid don't worry." he said leaning back again.
"Okay." He stands up still thinking if she would like it or not.
Around that time they heard the doorbell ring.
"Is it already time for our guests to get here?" Nero asked.
"Well it's 7:00 now. Should arrive any minute now." Tera says as she checks her watch.
"I'll get it." Hyro walks over to the door to answer. He saw Luke, Gena, Lex, and Kia.
"Hey there glad to finally arrive sorry it took so long. Lex overdosed his stomach with too many sweets." Luke pointed out.
"Hey I had a sweet tooth what can I say. And my beautiful sexy mate always makes the best sweets there are." Lex bragged a little.
She giggles. "That is true."
"Hello there welcome to our home. Hyro could you show our guests around." Tera offered.
"Sure mom." Hyro takes their gifts and puts them under the tree. After that he begins showing them around the house.
"So, you've known Shawn since you two were kids huh?" Lex asked Nero.
"Yeah we were like brothers with Michael." Nero answers.
"Huh, wow, must have been cool." Lex answers.
"Yep, but now it's just me and him."
"Yeah, Shawn told us about that." Geena answered.
The doorbell rings again and Hyro answers the door. This time it was Glukhov, with Clara, Koda, and Sherry. Almost as soon as Nero looked at who the next set of guests were he almost jumped out of his seat in fear of Koda hurting him again.
"Hello mister Koda." Hyro greets him.
"Hello Hyro how have you been, keeping your old man straight for me." he smiled.
"Yeah, I think he's learned his lesson."
"I can tell." Koda smirked as they entered.
"Well come on in then." Tera offered as she helped Hyro take the presents and put them under the tree.
"Are we by chance late or anything?" Clara asked.
"Of course not. You're early." Tera answers.
"That's good, we've just came back from last minute shopping." Glukhov answered.
"Hm, I wonder what's taking Shawn, Phoenix and the rest so long?" Tera asks.
"Blair called me just a few minutes ago. She said she and Rex and Pepper are on there way." Sherry answered as she took a seat on the couch with Koda.
"Oh okay then. What about Shawn and his family?"
Tera heard the house phone ring and answers. "Hello?"
(Over phone) "Hey Tera it's me Phoenix we're on our way just trying to get through the line at this shopping mall, We'll be there in a hour or less." Phoenix told her as it sounded like she was fighting through the crowed.
"Oh okay. Is everything okay over there?" She asks curiously.
(Over phone) "Yeah just...get out of the way we got to get to our friend's place fast...sorry some guy was drunk trying to put the moves on me….everything is fine right Shawn?"
(Over phone) "Um yeah uh...did you have to kick the dude in the face."
(Over the phone) "He was in the way and he put his hands on my boobs. These are for your hands only. I got to go Tera see you soon." Phoenix hangs up.
Tera looks at the phone with a confused and wondering face as she puts it down. "Well they said they should be here in a hour or less."
"Sounds like they're dealing with last minute Christmas shopping crowds." Lex joked.
"Yes they are."
Meanwhile, Nero kept shaking nervously with Koda sitting so close to him. Koda seemed to not pay him any attention as he pulled out a cigarette and tried to light it.
"Uh could you please not smoke in here. Blair's and Shawn's kids are gonna be here and I don't want them to suffocate." Tera requested.
"Yes Koda, Kelly and Ellah our granddaughters are going to be here and I don't want them having to suffocate from your nasty habit of smoking." Sherry lectured.
Koda looked around for somewhere to get rid of the cigarette. Nero flinched when he thought Koda was going to throw it at him but instead just puts it back in the pack he was carrying.
"Thank you."
Nero sighed in relief with Koda didn't throw it at him but still shaken nervously just by sitting close to him.
"So Nero?" Koda asked.
Nero actually jumped from his seat in fear and ended up landing on his broken ankle. He let out a small yell in pain.
"Yes?" he answers.
Koda raised an eyebrow. "You okay there?"
"Yeah I've been better." he lied as he got back up and laid back on his recliner. His ankle hurting a lot but he did his best to ignore it.
"Alright. So I was asking. You got anything special family for your family this year?" he asked.
"Well I don't want to ruin the surprise for them. Especially for Tera."
"Alright that's all I wanted to ask." he said as he layed back on the couch and closed his eyes.
Nero does the same but felt more calm now than before.
The doorbell rang again and Tera went to answer it. When she answered it was Blair with her kids along with Rex and Pepper.
"Blair! You made it." Sherry said as she saw her coming in.
"Hey sorry we were late, the twins got their picture taken with Santa." Blair answered.
"We saw Santa Claus Grandma." the Twins both said at the same time.
"I'm sure you did." Sherry said with a bright smile.
They entered the home as Rex and pepper watched the twins rush up to the grandmother.
"Those two really are cute. Kind of makes you wonder you know. If we should have a family of our own or not." Rex asked Pepper.
"Yeah. But that would be a little long while because I don't think I can handle all of that." she answered.
"Yeah. Fair enough."
Rex and Pepper entered and made themselves at home as everyone waited for Shawn and his family to arrive.
"Shawn isn't here yet?" Rex asks.
"No, him and Phoenix are currently trying to get through the usual last minute christmas shopping crowd. They'll be here in less than an hour." Hyro told him.
"Oh okay then. So what should we do?" Pepper asks.
"Well do some catching up since we got time to get to know what all we've been doing." Koda mentions while he still was sleeping a little.
"I guess we can do that. So Luke? Geena? How's everything between you two?" Blair asks.
"Oh the usual. We've been trying to lessen down all our busy work to make more time for each other. But again it just gets a little harder. That I have to take therapy sessions to try and get that Darkrai figure from Legion out of my head." Luke explained as she rubbed his face while Geena rubbed his back softly.
"Yeah it was difficult for him but we're getting through and we might try something we've done before." Geena mentions.
"Well that's good that you two are doing better in that. I wish you the best of luck and results." Hyro tells them.
"Thank you. We've got something to tell you two but we'll wait till Shawn and Phoenix get here." Geena says.
"Alright. What about you Lex and Kia?"
"Well I've been trying to improve on my karate." Lex brags a little.
"Which he still stinks at." Kia corrected.
"No I don't." Lex defends himself.
"Lex, the last time I saw you attempt Karate my own little girls could beat you and they're only four years old and I haven't even started training them." Blair comments while crossing her arms.
"Yeah… well… but I'm good at it." Lex huffs as the rest laughed.
About that time the doorbell rang and Hyro answered. When he opened the door, Shawn and his family came in, clearly out of breaths.
"Hey there guys. How did it go?" Hyro asks.
"It went better than I thought it was going to be." Shawn joked.
"It wasn't that bad Shawn. So I knocked a guy out so what?" she mentions as they entered in the house while Hyro places their presents under the tree.
"Well I mean I expected a punch but a kick?" Shawn questions.
"I was in a hurry to get in line and he was in my way so I had to do a running jump high kick to the nose while I was still on the move." Phoenix comments.
"You nearly ran over the kids in that line."
"I jumped over them and they're fine." Phoenix comments still nervous.
"At least no one got hurt except the guy you kicked in the face." He smiles.
"The perv had it coming to him." Phoenix stated.
"What's a perv?" Kelly and Ellah asked.
"Nothing for you two to know. Okay don't repeat what I say. Okay cuties." Phoenix says.
The twins looked at each other in confusion while Blair and Koda shot Phoenix a slight evil eye.
"What? I told them not to repeat what I said."
"Hopefully." Blair mentions quietly while raising an eyebrow while softly tapping her foot.
"Trust me, I wouldn't tell my kids that if they were this young."
Koda and Blair looked at each other slightly and sighed before letting it go.
"Aunty Phoenix we saw Santa Claus. Rex took us to see him." the twins told Phoenix.
"That's great cutie pies. Did you two ask Santa for something?" Phoenix asks.
"We asked if daddy could come back next year." the said at the same time.
Phoenix smile turns into a frown and looks at Blair. "Uh Blair…"
"Daddy is still in Heaven sweeties. He's with Lord Arceus now." Blair said as she hugged her girls softly.
"When will he come back?" Kelly asked.
"Is daddy okay?" Ellah asked.
Phoenix rubs her eyes as she was nearly crying watching them like this.
"Yeah, he's fine, he's just going to be away for a long, long time." Blair answered trying not to break down.
"Okay." they both said as they moved to play with Zeya a little.
"How long till you tell them Blair?" Phoenix asks calmly.
Blair didn't respond.
"When they're old enough to understand." Koda answered quietly.
"I understand. I wouldn't want to ruin their Christmas." Phoenix comments as she watches them play with Zeya.
"So now that everyone is here when do we start opening presents?" Zeya asked as she sat down and gave Abby to Phoenix.
"Slow down sweetie. It's Christmas eve. How about we wait till Christmas day." Blair kneels down.
"So that's in, how long?" Hyro asked.
"Well it's 8:00 pm right now." Tera answered.
"I guess we can get started on dinner." Clara suggests.
"That sounds good." Zeya mentions.
"Great I'm starving, we skipped lunch trying to get shopping done." Shawn mentions.
"Yeah, I'm really hungry." Rex says with his stomach growling.
"Well lucky for you guys. I went ahead and ordered out." Tera reveals a buffet of chicken in buckets with french fries, biscuits, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and a salad. Everyone gazes at the food as Shawn literally drools at it..
"Don't drool sweetie, we don't want anyone losing their appetites." Phoenix mentions as she lifted his chin to close his mouth.
"Okay everyone take your seats." Tera yells out in joy.
Everyone gets in lines and starts making their plate full of their choices of food. Having nice conversations and all about a variety of things. Since Nero was unable to get up to get his Tera went and got his plate for him.
"Here you go sweetheart."
Nero thanks Tera and accepted his plate.
"How does your leg feel?"
"Like really, really hurts. I think I may need to take some painkillers but I'm holding off until we go to bed. I don't want to fall asleep while we have guests." Nero answers clearly hurting from his leg.
"Okay sweetheart. I'll be here for you." Tera answers giving him a gentle kiss.
"Hey Tera, can I talk to you privately real quick please." Blair asked.
"Of course." Tera follows Blair at the corner.
"Hey thank for inviting us to your house this year its means allot." Blair thanked her though she sounded sad.
"Of course but why so glum?" Tera asks.
Blair looked back at Kelly and Ellah as Geena and Lex were playing with them a little.
"I honestly don't how I am going to have to tell them about their father Logan. How I had to…" Blair stopped herself as she almost started crying.
"I know. They wouldn't know how to handle it at this age. I wouldn't blame you."
"Yeah but, it's just this this the fourth time they've asked Santa for their daddy." she answered.
"Well maybe now is not the best time to talk about this. How about this? Next year on valentine's day how about you, me and the rest of the girls help you find a new man and father for the kids. How does that sound to you?" Tera offers.
"Maybe I don't know. Still thank you for the talk. We should get it looks like everyone has their plates and we're about to say blessing." Blair mentions.
"Of course." Tera hugs her as Blair hugs her back. When they went back in the dining room, everyone took their seats with their plates of meal.
"Hey Koda want to say blessing as the oldest guest here?" Glukhov asked.
"You're just as old as me Glukhov." Koda smirked.
"Sure whatever." He jokes.
"I think this place is Nero's house he should be the one who should say blessing." Koda offered as he patted Nero on the back. Nero jumped a little thinking Koda may hurt him but he calms down.
"But I can barely get up." Nero says in pain.
"It's just saying blessing kid. Thanking Lord Arceus doesn't require you to stand up all the time. Take your time." Koda smiled.
"Okay." He tries to stand slowly but struggles a bit. Surprisingly Koda helps him.
"Like I said, Lord Arceus is always understanding and he knows and we know. So feel free to say grace even if you can't stand."
"Okay… uh… dear Lord Arceus we thank you for the many blessings you have given us. We thank you for allowing us to come and spend time together as one big family. We thank you from everything from the food that will nourish our bodies to the gifts we will receive. Ultimately we thank you for the day of your birth to the world and for the creation of all that is known and unknown. Thank you Lord Arceus for everything. Amen."
"Amen." Everyone says and begins passing out food and digging in.
Koda pats Nero on the shoulder.
"Good job there kid."
"Okay seriously Koda what's going on? I mean every time we're in the same room or area you either throw something at me. Shoot me somewhere very painful with something you fixed up. And drill sergeant me like I'm in the military which hurts like crap take in mind. Why are you all of a sudden nice to me?" Nero asked.
Koda chuckled and laid back on the couch.
"Well at first I strongly did not want to come here tonight because I didn't want you being a bad influence to my grand daughters. Because two times in a row you have broke into my yard without my permission. However I think your last attempt finally taught you something into that thick skull of yours. Also from the moment I've noticed you scared out of your fancy pants every time I walk in the room. I think I may have went a bit too far in my usual methods to set people straight." Koda started.
"I can tell but thank you."
"So that and you are hurt and it's not in my nature to beat or lecture hurt people. Also I do think you have learned your lesson. But please next time, knock and use the front door, I have serious PTSD issues and very, very, very high anxiety problems." Koda mentions as he takes a bite of chicken.
"I'll remember that." Nero says as he takes a bite of a biscuit.
The next few hours were spent enjoying the buffet while chatting and talking about stuff.
"So Geena, you said you and Luke had something you wanted to tell us when Shawn and his family got here?" Clara asked.
Luke and Geena hold their hands together. "Yes, we do. We plan to have a child of our own."
Everyone turned and looked at them while Geena giggled at their reaction.
"Oh that's lovely. Are you two going to adopt a child like me and Shawn did with Abby and Zeya?" Phoenix asked as Abby giggled from Phoenix tickling her belly.
"Yes since we all know we can't breed interspecies." Geena mentioned.
"Breed?" the twins asked in confusion.
"Uh maybe now isn't the best time but I'm grateful for both of you." Phoenix mentions.
"So how long have you guys been planning this and what have you thought of yet?"
"It's been since the vacation and after you helped us with our relationship. We thought about it long and hard and it's final."
"Congratulations. You two, I know you two are going to make one special child very, very happy with such a blessed life." Sherry congratulated them.
"Yes I know. It will be amazing right Luke?"
"Of course sweetie." They kissed and continued eating.
Everyone soon finished up their meals they cleaned up and got ready to hit the sack for the night to open presents in the morning.
"Well looks like we all have to hit the sack before Christmas morning." Shawn mentions.
"Uh Tera, do you want us to come back on Christmas morning?" Glukhov offered.
"No stay here. We've got plenty of rooms for everyone to sleep."
"Alright I need to take my back pill before I my dinner runs out." Koda says as he makes his way over to the kitchen to take some medicine.
"Yeah I think I really, really, really need my painkillers now." Nero said as his leg was really, really hurting him.
"Okay. Kids time for bed." Tera tells the kids.
"Yes Aunty Tera." the twins said as they rushed into one of the guest room.
"Be sure to brush your teeth before bed Kelly, Ellah." Blair tells them as she followed them.
"You two better go to bed too." Phoenix tells Zeya and Hyro.
"We're on it."
"Alright I'm staying in Hyro's room for the night." Shawn says as he pats Hyro's shoulder.
"Speaking of which starting next new year you and I are gonna have a nice little chat about a series of Greninja photos a guy showed me that you kept on your computer." Shawn whispered to Hyro.
"Wh-What?" Hyro says shocked while blushing.
"Don't worry we'll talk about next year which is a few weeks later. In the meantime I'm sleeping in your room so you don't open presents early and I mean early presents." Shawn pats his back a little hard.
"O-Oh okay then." Hyro whimpers a bit.
"You sure Shawn?" Phoenix asked.
"Yeah I think all the girls should sleep in one room and the guys sleep in the other unless they're married and they have the known right to safely sleep in the same bed." Shawn smirked.
Koda kind of laughed at that while Blair made sure to cover the Twins' ears.
"Dude I can't believe you just said that." Lex joked as he and Rex punched Shawn lightly on the shoulder.
"What?" He smirks.
"Alright I think we should all hit the bed, let me know if anyone needs anything." Tera offers as she and most of the girls went into one room for the night.
"Alright then. Good night everyone." Shawn tells everyone as they head off into the rooms and went to bed.
A little later that night, Hyro slept in his room with Shawn, Rex, and Lex. Lex was snoring a little which made it slightly hard for everyone in the room to try and sleep. Hyro got out of bed and was heading to his bathroom until he felt Shawn grab him by the tail while still asleep.
"Where you going?" he asked while he was still sleeping.
"I got to go to the bathroom." Hyro told him feeling nervous.
"You hold it Hyro until morning." Shawn tells him as he gently pulls Hyro's tail to gently drag him him back to his bed.
"Shawn please I really got to go." Hyro begged.
"I said hold it or I'll break that off and kick it around on the ground. I know what fancy you about Zeya so don't tempt me tonight before Christmas morning." Shawn warned him while still asleep.
Hyro gulped very nervously as he made his way back to his bed and went back to sleep. Still shaking and not getting much sleep that night with Shawn close by and Lex still snoring.
Christmas morning...
Around dawn as the sun rose up and Christmas morning finally arrive. Everyone was still asleep, well some were asleep while others could sleep well thanks to Lex's snoring.
"That young man really needs to get that checked." Koda said quietly as strangely he slept with his eyes open the entire night.
Back in the room with all the girls, everyone was sleeping normally. Zeya slept on her guest bed holding the present she got Hyro specially last night. Hoping and Praying to Lord Arceus that he'll love it.
"Meema! Meema! Wake up it's Christmas!" Everyone in the ladies room heard the Twins cheered as they jumped on the bed and bounced excitedly up and down. This was enough to wake everyone in the room.
"Alright, alright sweethearts Meema's getting up." Blair announced as she got up and stretched her arms wide while yawning.
Everyone followed suit while the Twins continued to jump up and down in excitement. Wanting everyone to hurry up a bit like all cute little kids do.
Phoenix and Tera slowly got up as Phoenix checked on Abby and saw her waking up just in time.
Meanwhile in Hyro's room. Shawn and Rex were the first to wake up as the swat Lex on the head to wake him up.
"Dude, I think you need to see a doctor." Rex tells Lex.
"What?"
"Morning everyone. Morning Hyro how'd you sleep?" Shawn asked as he looked at Hyro and saw that he went through the whole night awake and scared of Shawn. When he saw that Shawn was awake he quickly ran to the bathroom and sighed in relief.
"Wow, I guess he really did have to go." Shawn comments as he watched Hyro run to his bathroom.
"I guess he did." Rex answers.
"Alright let's go open presents it's christmas day." Lex encouraged as he walked in the dining room with everyone. When everyone got there and took a seat Tera asked. "How did everyone sleep?"
"We slept pretty well. Isn't that right Hyro?" Shawn asks.
"Yeah...slept okay…" Hyro groaned slightly.
"Great. Let us begin shall we?" Tera yells out as the twins sat on the floor and began looking for their presents. Hyro and Zeya joined in looking for theirs as well. Before long they passed out a present to everyone so everyone will take a turn to open a present at a turn.
"Alright now is just the matter of who opens first." Lex mentions.
"I say we settle that in drawing straws." Nero mentions.
"Okay then." Tera grabs a few drawing straws and holds them out.
Everyone grabbed a straw and pulled them. When they opened their eyes to check the straws, it turned out Nero drew the biggest straw.
"Well what do you know, the host of the part gets to open first." Sherry comments.
"Weird luck huh?" Nero smiles and unwraps his present from Tera and gets a iPad Air 2 tablet as Nero was smiling out of joy. "Thank you honey."
"You are most welcome." she smiled and kissed him romantically.
"Here's something for you honey." Nero hands her a present that was shaped like a heart as she takes it.
"What is it?" She asked curiously.
"You'll see." he smiled.
Tera unwraps her present and sees a box that was a heart. She uncovers the box and looked very shocked and begins nearly tearing. She got a Blue Topaz "Unique in every way" snowflake Pendant in sterling silver.
"Merry Christmas honey." Nero says softly while smiling.
She hugged Nero tightly crying in tears of joy. Nero held her close and gently rubbed a hand on the back of her head. She kisses him romantically while holding his face while still tearing then breaks it as they gaze into their eyes.
"Alright, Koda I think your next." Kia mentions.
"I got something from Glukhov here." Koda says as he looks at his present. He unwraps it and almost gasped in surprise. It was a remake of a photo of him and his friends during their younger days only this time re-textured to fit modern day society and had color to it.
"Oh my Arceus, Glukhov how did you?" Koda asked in deep shock.
"Thanks to technology today. I managed to get this back into good condition."
Koda couldn't help it, he got up and hugged Glukhov. "Thank you."
"Sure thing." He pats his back while hugging him.
When Koda let's him go, Phoenix unwraps her present next. She unwraps it and gets a Nintendo Wii U with a starter pack of Wii U games.
"Oh my, Shawn did you get this?" she asks excitedly.
"Hey you know me with my art. Merry Christmas baby." Shawn answers.
"Merry Christmas." she kisses Shawn deeply before letting him go.
"Well looks like I'm up." Clara says as she unwraps her present and gets Destiny: The Full package including the dlcs and packs.
"Holy. I can't believe I got Destiny." Clara answered.
"Yeah a little bird tweeted to me that you wanted that game." Blair smiled.
Glukhov smiles seeing her happy as Clara kisses him on the cheek.
"Alright Kelly, Ellah, it's finally your turn you two." Blair smiled.
"Okay Meema." They both begin unwrapping their presents and got a kitchen playset. They both cheered in excitement and jumped up and hugged Koda.
"Thank you grandpa!" they both said happily.
"Your welcome sweethearts." Koda smiled and let them go.
"Your up next Kia." Geena pointed out.
"Alright let's see what's in here." Kia comments as she shakes her present at first and unwraps it to get a very beautiful gold bracelet with shiny diamonds on it. "Lex, I love it!"
"Merry Christmas baby." he reaches out and kisses her.
"Well Rex, take a look at what Pepper got you." Tera asks.
Rex shakes his and unwraps his present to get pair of beats wireless headphones. Pepper got the same but in different colors. The two looked at each other had share another romantic kiss thanking one another.
"Well looks like I'm next." Sherry unwrapped her present and got a very nice white dress that had pink flowers on it.
"Merry Christmas mom." Blair hugged Sherry.
"Merry Christmas sweetheart." Sherry hugged her back softly before letting her go and taking a look back at the dress. "And just in time too, me and Koda's anniversary is on Valentine's day. So now I have something nice to wear for our anniversary." Sherry explained happily.
"Okay Geena, go ahead and open yours up." Lex smiled as he hugged her with one arm.
"Okay." Geena grabs her present, unwraps it and gets a Sexy See Through Lace Christmas Santa Lingerie in a case with perfume included. Blair and Phoenix covered the eyes of the twins and Abby respectively.
"Luke you sexy perv." Geena laughed but kissed him.
"Good thing Abby is too young to remember what that stuff is." Zeya comments.
"Speaking of which it's Abby's turn." Hyro mentions.
Abby playfully grabs the wrapping paper and tears it piece by piece but Shawn decided to help her and unwrapped it for her. Abby got new baby clothes and a educational computer toy as she coos and laughs.
"Merry Christmas sweety." Phoenix hugs her softly.
"Well I come after my youngest niece." Glukhov says as he opened his present he got from Koda. To his surprise he got his old Berett back when he was still a young soldier in the Spetsnaz. Yet despite how old it was, it looked as if it had been neatly repaired, refixed, and all and all brand spankin new.
"Koda you old son of a gun how did you find my old Berrett from my youthful Spetsnaz days?" Glukhov chuckled.
"Well I know how much you love your Spetsnaz. Some of my buddies from the war and contacts were able to pull some strings and help me find that old berrett of yours. And like you said with today's technology anything's possible. That's how I was able to get it from old busted piece of junk to brand spanking new."
Glukhov smiled and puts it on and does a salute. "Dlya slava Rossii-matushki."
"What does that mean?" Shawn asked.
"It means For the glory of Mother Russia." Glukhov answered proudly.
"Yep, just like the patriotic young cocky arrogant smart butt I remember kicking the tail of in the jungles of Vietnam." Koda laughed.
"Whatever you say Cowboy. Whatever you say." Glukhov jokes.
"Well, I guess I'm finally next." Lex unwrapped his present and got a superman thong alone with some collectable games.
"Oh dear Lord Arceus." Sherry and Tera gasped and blushed as Blair and Phoenix had to keep Abby and the twins from seeing. Zeya and Hyro laughed a little.
"Well honey I never knew you saw me as your superman." Lex smirked and tried flexing his muscles to Kia.
"Well you are the strongest one to me. Even if you do suck at Karate." She giggles and holds close to him.
"Yeah… what? Hey." They all laughed along with her.
"Well my straw came after Lex. So here I go." Shawn unwrapped his present and got Fallout 4, Halo 5, Need for Speed all in collector editions with season passes and for Xbox One. "Phoenix, this is amazing. How did you get it?" He asks.
"With help from Abby and Zeya." she answered.
"You girls are really the greatest family a man and a father could have. Thank you all." He kisses Abby and Zeya on their foreheads then romantically kisses Phoenix on the lips.
"Alright I'm after Shawn so let's see what this has." Luke open his present to get a batman thong along with calone and the entire classic 1970's batman T.V. series.
"And will you look at that, I got batman." Luke smiled.
"That's because you're my personal batman sweety." Geena smiled and kissed him.
"Well, I'm next now." Hyro comments.
"I got you this." Zeya quickly gave Hyro her present with a big smile. Hyro gently takes it, unwraps it, and gets the new iphone with all the special features and upgrades.
"Now we can call, text, send pics, skype, and spend time with each other no matter where we go." Zeya hugged Hyro.
"Zeya, I love it. I got something for you." Hyro comments.
"I can't wait to open it when it comes my turn." she answered.
"Alright it's my turn now." Blair says as she opened her's. She got a special photograph of the Twins with Santa Claus that was signed by both of them that say"They Love their Meema," along with a set of new clothes and the new AC Syndicate game.
"Merry Christmas Meema." the twins happily told Blair.
Blair nearly tears up, hugs them both and kisses them on the cheeks. "Thank you two."
"Well, as it would seem I'm last but I don't mind." Zeya says as she starts opening the special present Hyro had her. Hyro gulped nervously as she carefully opened. When Zeya finally got it opened she gasped in surprise. She got a couple of special jewelry, a silver necklace with a emerald green pendant, with a matching ankle bracelet that had multiple emerald green gems on it.
"Merry Christmas Zeya." Hyro says nervously.
Zeya begins to cry of joy and hugs him tightly and kisses him on the lips. "I love it Hyro and I love you."
Shawn raised a bit of an eyebrow seeing this but he kept quiet. Phoenix notices this and pats him a little on the elbow.
"Don't worry Shawn."
"I know. I'll talk to him about this next year."
"Besides, I think Hyro is a great boyfriend for her. Don't you think, he deeply cares and loves her. Very much like you do for me." she smiled at him.
"Yeah I know."
"Come on, let's enjoy the rest of Christmas, we still got plenty more presents to unwrap." she said excitingly.
"Alright. Merry Christmas Phoenix."
"Merry Christmas Shawn." Shawn and Phoenix kissed each other lovingly and went back to enjoying the rest of Christmas with their friends and family.
Meanwhile at an unknown area, Omen arrives at a ginormous mansion located somewhere out in a remote location of the woods close to a beautiful huge lake. Men wearing black suits, slick ties, and shades equipped with Uzi machine guns guarded the front door. They see Omen come and open the door to let him in. Omen quietly makes his way down the large hallway before arriving in a enormous dining room. There at the far end Ace was with his wife who was a beautiful older shiny Lucario nicely dressed. They were sitting by the Christmas Tree as Linna was slowly but playfully unwrapping the paper on another of her presents with a little help from her grandmother. Eventually she was able to finish opening it and get a music player to play music for her. She clapped excitedly at her new gift. Her grandmother hugged her softly while Ace smiled and looked like he was about to cry. When Omen arrived, Ace patted him on the back before letting him walk up to Linna who was being held by her grandmother.
"Hey Linna I got something for you on this special day, for a very, very special person like you." Omen handed her his present.
Linna gently took the present and with her grandmother's help she was able to unwrap it. Linna got a beautiful baby pink dress complete with a pink bow. She cooed and giggled excitedly at her new gift. Her grandmother softly handed her to Omen to let her hug him softly with her tiny arms as he rocked her back and forth gently.
"Merry first Christmas Linna." Omen said softly to her as he took a seat and played with her a little.
"And so here we end another great with Shawn, his family and new friends celebrating their Christmas all together as one happy family. What adventures lie next is upon in 2016. Find out as the journey continues..."
