| �We�re here.� Amber said smacking Michelle on the arm giddy with laughter. �Hmmmmmmmmm??� She asked her eyes fluttering open. She sighed and streched her legs foreward. �We�re finally here Shelle.� Denise said from the backseat. �I�m glad that we all agreed to have Christmas up at the Cabin.� Amber said as she got out of teh car and unlocked the trunk. The other two girls climbed out of the car and locked all of the doors. They grabbed their luggage and trudged through the snow. The door to the cabin flung open and Diane Bass jumped out. �Amber! Honey, I haven�t seen you since Lance�s birthday.� �I know, it�s been a while. Diane, you know Michelle and Denise?� �Of course. They we�re down here with Chris and Joey. How are you two doing?� �We�re doing well. As good as two sisters can be.� Denise said laughing and shutting the door to the cabin. �BEV!� Michelle yelped dropping her bags on the floor and running over and giving the plump woman a hug. �When did you decide that you we�re going to come up?� �Well, I decided that since I couldn�t spend Christmas with Chris, why not spend it with his new wife?� Bev giggled and helped the three girls into their room. �Sorry about the cots and you three having to share a room but you all know the limited space that we have here.� �Oh it�s just fine Bev. I could sleep on the floor if you wanted me too.� Denise said laughing. �Denise? Is that you?� Denise looked up and glanced around the room and smiled when she saw Phyllis standing in the door way. �Oh my gosh. Phyllis I have missed you so much. I haven�t seen you for ages. How have you been?� �I�ve been good. Diane and Bev called me a couple of weeks ago and asked me if I wanted to come out to the Cabin for the Holiday�s since our boys wouldn�t be back. I told the Mr. that he can have the house to himself and he did all but throw me out on my butt.� she laughed. �How about some hot cocoa ladies to help celebrate?� Diane called from the kitchen. �Ohhh..sounds scrumptios.� Amber said laughing. The women walked out of the bedroom and headed for the kitchen where a mug of cocoa was shoved into their hands. �Thanks Diane.� the three girls chorused. �Bev, Phyllis would you two like some cocoa?� �Please.� Bev called from the Common room. Diane smiled and brought out the rest of the cocoa to the other two ladies and soon everyone was sitting around a warm fire. Amber sighed and laid her head on Diane�s lap. �I wish Lance could be here.� �Me too Amber.� she smiled lightly and turned back to her cocoa. Michelle was telling the ever so funny story of how Chris propsed to her when the phone rang. Amber sighed and stood up. �I�ll get it.� She walked over and picked up the cordless. �Hello.� she mumbled. �You don�t sound too happy.� �Lance.� she breathed into the phone. �I miss you.� �I miss you too. We all wish we could be there with you guys. Are you taking care of the older folks?� �Of course.� �You know I have a great present for you when I come home.� Amber could see the grin on his face as he told her this. �I can�t wait til I can hold you. My bed has been pretty lonely without you there.� �My bunk is really lonely with out you but I do have a picture of us hanging up in there.. I love you Amber.� �I love you more.� �Is that my boy you are talking too?� Diane asked coming up behind Amber. �Hey babe. Your mother wants to talk to you. I love you and will talk to you later.� Amber smiled and handed the phone to Diane where her and Lance talked for a few moments. Soon, Diane was calling Michelle over to the phone so she could talk to Chris. Michelle stood up and smiled when the phone was handed to her. �Hello?� �Hey my sexy bitch.� �Hey dumbshit.� she laughed when she heard him pout on the other end. �You know I love you. When are ya�all coming home?� �We�ll be home on the twenty-eighth. I wish I could have spend Christmas with you. I�ve been thinking about you a lot.� �I�ve never stopped thinking about you. I love you Chris.� �I love you too honey. Can I talk to my mom right quick?� �Sure.� Michelle smiled and placed her hand over the phone. �Bev, Chris wants to talk to you.� Bev stood up and took the phone when Michelle handed it too her. �Hey Chris.� �Hey Mom. How are things going?� �Great. You know that I love having Michelle and everyone around. Makes it homey feeling. Wish you could be here though.� �I wish that I could to mama. But I have a surprise for you.� �Chris, you know that I hate surprises.� �I know.� Chris smiled and kissed the phone. �Love you mama. Joey wants to talk to Denise now.� Bev shook her head and handed the phone to Denise. �We are playing Phone tag now. Everyone wants to talk to someone.� she laughed and went over to sit on the couch. �Yo?� �There�s my Denise.� Joey said laughing. �Hey baby.� �I hope that you are having fun. I know that you wish I was there, and I wish that I was there but that can�t happen.� �I know honey. I know what you do conflicts with stuff like this and I will get used to it. It will just take some time.� �I love you though.� �And I love you.� �I know you do. I can�t wait to hold you in my arms though. I got us some new sheets and stuff when we we�re at this really cool store. They are leopard print satin sheets.� he pouted when he heard Denise erupt in laughter. �Tell me you didn�t.� �I did.� �Oh Joey. Your such a dweeb.� �You won�t be saying that when we try them out. Now, can I talk to my mama.� �Oh, so thats how it is?� �Thats how it is.� he laughed. �I love you.� �I love you too.� Denise handed the phone to Phyllis. �Hey mama.� �Hey Joe. Are you guys having fun?� �As about much fun as we could be during Christmas and not being with our family.� �I know. We are doing okay. I wish you were here though.� �I got an idea mama. Put the phone on speaker for us okay?� �Uhhh, okay.� Phyllis went over and put on the speaker phone. �They told me to do it.� �Hey all.� All the girls crowded around the phone as they heard Lance, Joey and Chris speak. �Since we couldn�t be there we decided to give you something special. So sit back and enjoy.� Before any of them new it, the guys we�re all singing. Crossing the ocean with my window view Thinking of the time I spent with you And I close my eyes I see the family Making out their wish list All dressed up for Christmas On my own for too many years I miss the happiness I miss the tears When I close my eyes And I'm all alone I think of all the love we shared When I need a friend Or a helping hand I know that you will all be there I've been gone for too many holidays But you can light the fire Cause this year (this year) I'll be home for Christmas Day I see the children playing in the snow Precious memories I used to know When I see the love in the mother's eyes Always there to teach us The real meaning of Christmas On my own for too many years I miss the happiness I miss the tears When I close my eyes And I'm all alone I think of all the love we shared When I need a friend Or a helping hand I know that you will all be there I've been gone for too many holidays But you can light the fire Cause this year (this year) I'll be home for Christmas It doesn't matter how alone you think you are Something happens to you When you see that shining star When I close my eyes And I'm all alone I think of all the love we shared When I need a friend Or a helping hand I know that you will all be there I've been gone for so many holidays But you can light the fire Cause this year (this year) I'll be home for Christmas When I close my eyes And I'm all alone I think of all the love we shared When I need a friend Or a helping hand I know that you will all be there I've been gone for so many holidays But you can light the fire, I'm sending a wire That this year I'll be home for Christmas Day Amber shook her head when she thought she heard a knock at the door. She walked over to the door and opened it. �Holy shit.� She smiled and dropped her mug of cocoa on the floor. �CHRIS!� Michelle yelled and ran into his arms. She nuzzled into him. �I thought that you weren�t supposed to be home til the 28th? �This was part of my surprise.� he smiled evilly as his mother came up to him. �Christopher. This was the surprise.� �yes.� �Thank you. Its the best.� she wrapped her arms around her son. �I�ve missed you.� Their mother son time was cut short when Denise and Phyllis ran past them and into Joey. �Joey.� �Mama.� he kissed her on the head and kissed Denise on the lips. �I love you both so much.� �And we love you Joey.� Denise said and grabbed his hand, tangling it with her own. They all walked over to the fire to talk. Amber sat at the door wondering where Lance was. Her and Diane sighed and started to shut the door. �Going to forget about me?� �Lance!� Amber ran out of the cabin and down the stairs to where Lance was carrying bags. He dropped the bags and Amber ran into his arms knocking him down onto the snow. �We�re you trying to trick me?� �Yes. Did it work?� �Well duh. I almost shut you out.� She smiled and kissed his lips. �What we�re you thinking.� She smiled and stood up brushing snow off of her. �Ummm...we won�t go there.� he smiled and grabbed the bags from the cold ground. They walked into the cabin and shut the door behind them. They switched around rooms, so the mothers could sleep in the cots and the couples could have bed�s. They didnt want it that way but the moms insisted. ~*~*~*~Midnight*~*~*~*~ All of the couples we�re cuddled in front of the fire singing Christmas songs when the clock struck Midnight. �It�s Chrismas.� Chris said his eyes wide with excitment. �Chris, we don�t open anything til tomorrow morning.� Michelle said and smacked him playfully. �Then let�s go to bed. Our mother�s are already sleeping.� Joey said smiling. �I think that we need to go to bed. I�m about ready to fall over and die.� Amber said standing up and streching. �I agree Amber.� Denise also stood up and grabbed Joey. �Come on Joe.� All the couples said goodnight and headed to their rooms where they nestled in for a good nights sleep, safe in the arms of their loves.
