C7: The Grahams And The Fosters.

"Hahahaha!" Aiden laughed at the funny stories Ebony was telling him about her career as the governor of Michigan, holding Max, as he sat on the sofa with her. Ebony's purse was now resting on the sofa beside her on her right side.

"Wow, you knew the queen of England?" Aiden asked.

"That was a long time ago. At the United Nations in 1993, to be exact." Ebony said with her fake-smile. "Oh, i've traveled this world, met a lot of interesting people since i became leader of this state in 1990."

"Have you ever met any Princesses?" Aiden asked.

"I've met a lot of Princesses. The Princess of Monaco, the Princess of Saudi Arabia, the Princess of United Kingdom. Uh, what Princess are you talking about?" Ebony said.

"I'm talking about the Princesses of Disney World." Aiden said.

"Yeah, i met them. Back in the summer of 1994 when your Grandpa and i took your Dad to Disney World when he was 4 years old." Ebony said.

Bonny and James exited the dining-room, entering back into the living-room, with Bonny carrying a tray with two glass cups of eggnog on it, as well as James holding a glass of green eggnog.

"Aiden, have you cleared up your room?" Bonny asked as she and James walked over to the sofa.

"Before Max and i came down, Mom. But i do need to work on my Christmas list for you and Dad. I'll be right back." Aiden said before getting off the sofa and ran upstairs to his room, with Max in his arms. Unlike most parents during this time of year, Aiden's folks never taught him about Santa Clause or him delivering presents around the world on Christmas Eve night. He would make his list of things he wanted, give it his parents, and then they would get them for him.

"Miss Scroogeman, would you care for some eggnog?" Bonny asked.

"I don't drink eggnog, honey, it's too sweet." Ebony answered with her fake-smile. "In fact...it's no good for any of you." She said, now frowning. "Especially you, James." She stated as she took James's cup away from him and placed it on the coffee-table. "You're heart's probably been working overtime these last 26 years. I'm gonna put you on a diet."

James rolled his eyes.

The doorbell rang.

"Ooh." Bonny said. "I'll get it." She said as she sat the tray on the coffee-table. "It's probably the rest of the family." She said before going to the door and opening it, revealing Steffy and Finnegan "Finn" Graham, their 9-year old son, Gary, Hope and Thomas Foster, and their 6-year old son, Devin, both family units dressed for the cold outdoors.

Steffy had brown hair that went past her shoulders and stopped at her upper-back, and her eyes were blue.

Finn had black hair and brown eyes.

Gary had brown 80s bowl-cut neck-length hair and brown eyes.

Hope had blond hair that went past her shoulders and stopped at her upper-back, and her eyes were blue.

Thomas had dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was Steffy's cousin.

Devin also had dark brown hair, both sides of it half-covering his ears, and blue eyes. A mirror image of his father, only a much younger version.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" The Fosters and the Grahams shouted.

"Hi. Merry Christmas to you all too. Come on in." Bonny said happily before standing aside, allowing both families to enter inside before closing the door. "Finn, Hope, this is James's mother, Ebony Scroogeman, the governor of Michigan."

"But you can call me Miss Scroogeman." Ebony said.

"Right. Miss Scroogeman, this is Steffy's husband-Finn, their son-Gary, Thomas's wife-Hope, and their son-Devin." Bonny said.

"Seasons greetings, governor." Hope said.

"Nice to meet all of you." Ebony said with a fake-smile.

"Nice to meet you too." Finn said.

"Hi." Gary and Devin greeted.

"Hi to you too, my great cousins." Ebony said.

"Is Aiden here?" Gary asked.

"Yeah, he's upstairs in his room with Max, writing out his Christmas list." James said.

"Okay, thanks." Gary said before ran upstairs, with Devin following after him.

"I guess that's our cue to start making ourselves at home." Steffy said.

"I guess so." Thomas added.
