Lisa and Allyson had been up and down the entire house, decorating with their loved ones and playing with the little ones as they put up the decorations they had used for the past couple of years. As it was, now it was early morning on a Thursday, and some very important guests were due to show up at any moment within the next hours.

Allyson, already up and ready was busy preparing some food for their guests, making the entire house smell delicious as she glanced over her shoulder, her eyes falling on Marcos. He was the adopted one, and it seemed that he was wide awake and drawn down by the smell. Smiling as the boy came up and hugged her leg, she reached down for a moment to run her fingers through his short hair, bending over to kiss his forehead. "Go get your mother, Marcos."

And the little boy did.
---

Lisa sang softly to herself, the warm water coming down upon her in a very soothing way to wake up. She hadn't seen if anyone else was awake yet, and Gabby seemed to still be deep in sleep. She didn't feel the need to disturb that.

Washing her hair, she continued to hum to herself...

Fortunately for Allyson, she had heard it before. From her mother, so the older Turpin simply smiled as Mr. Delacour led her away from the window. Normally she would have answered about how times are changing, but with her mother she could either expect a scolding or a quick agreement, with Mrs. Delacour...probably a strangling.

Were they to follow them?

When Lisa and Gabby get down here...let's send them to get the children dressed, so we may sit and eat. Allyson suggested to Fleur.
---

"Unfortunately." Lisa replied, enjoying the kiss. "My mother would kill me for not greeting her, and I really would like to see my father." Lisa answered, soon letting Gabby keep the towel as she walked over to the closet.

"I'm really hungry..." Lisa stated, hearing her tummy growl.

Very well. Guiding Allyson away from the foyer, Fleur took them to the kitchen. There they could have some privacy, and be able to tell the House Elves to prepare lunch. Something plentiful and hearty, since they had guests that had traveled so far.

"Vut should lunch be?"

*************

"I vud rather spend all day een bed vith you."

Life was so unfair! Gabrielle was purposefully moving slow, dragging her feet in getting ready. She was still drying herself off when she came up behind Lisa. Nuzzling her wife's back, she placed kisses upon it.

"Vill you vear dress vor me?"

Allyson, led to the kitchen, sighed as soon as they were out of view.

"Your mother is as pleasant as ever." She commented off handedly, annoyed with the woman. She had slapped her wife, and then criticized her children! It was enough to make Ally want to explode.

Walking up to Fleur, she took her wife's face in her hands gingerly and kissed her on the lips. "How is your face?" She asked softly, stroking her cheek.

"Soup and finger sandwhiches. We still have dinner."
---

Lisa smiled lightly. She would rather be in bed with Gabby all day too! But as life has it, it wasnt going to happen today.

Sighing softly as her back was kissed, she felt ever muscle in her back relax on her wife's lips. "Mmm...I guess. Just for today...Allyson got all prettied up." Lisa remarked, though she was melting at how intimate Gabby was.

"Going to pick one out for me?"

"Zat bitch?" Fleur scoffed. "Eef ever you vish to put her in place, you vet me know."

Returning the kiss, the Veela rubbed her wife's sides gently. Allyson had been through so much today, she had wanted to let her rest longer. Lisa then her parents had removed all possibility of that.

"Eet ees fine. I vill let you baby me tonight. Vee can play naughty Mediwitch. Until zen, let uz feed zem."

*************

As quick as a flash, Gabrielle crossed the room to another of their three closets. Entering it, she came back with one of her creations. A red trimmed white dress with spaghetti straps, tight bodice, low back, and short skirt. She had an ulterior motive for having Lisa where a dress...

"Zis one. Lee-za...eef vee vear dresses all Christmas, zen eet vill give uz easy access to each other. Vee could sneak off venever vee wanted..."

It was a good plan! Giving her naked wife's body more kisses, she couldn't use her hands as they were holding the dress. Purring softly, she came up with another idea. One that would please her even more!

"Let uz go vithout underwear! Zat vill save uz time."

Smiling at the idea of babying Fleur, she was even more pleased by the naughty mediwitch game they were going to play! Now thoughts of the game was making her wish it was night time already. Pulling away from Fleur to help with preparation for lunch, she glanced over at the blonde every now and then, grinning.

She couldn't wait.
---

"Isn't that a little...revealing for time with our parents?" Lisa raised an eyebrow, hearing Gabby's little plan. Gabrielle may not care about showing Lisa's goodies to everyone, but Lisa sure did!

Getting more kisses, they were gonna stop soon. Especially after what she said next.

"What? No, we need underwear. The kids like going under tables! They don't need to be seeing everything down there, Gabby. And what if our parents see up our skirts? That's embarrassing!" Lisa exclaimed, already turning pink at the idea of anyone seeing up their skirt. Leaning back against the wall, she rubbed her face. Gabrielle was going to kill her one day.

"Let's wear underwear, alright? Just as a precaution. We only have half a day until tonight. When I can make love to you until one of us passes out." Most likely Lisa, since she hadn't a nap yet!

Not able to cook herself, Fleur busied herself with bossing the House Elves around. Noticing her wife's looks, she blushed and looked away. They were acting like smitten schoolgirls!

"You seem vairy glad now."

With lunch prepared, she commanded the House Elves to take it to the east dining room, rather then the dining hall. There was no need to use the hall, since they had so few guests.

"Shall we find our sisters?"

**************

"You are zo afraid of zem."

Sighing, Gabrielle didn't understand why Lisa cared what they thought. She didn't! As soon as she discovered her lifemate, no other opinion mattered. Sighing again when her other suggestion was taken offense to, she was starting to wonder why she even bothered!

"I change my mind. I am staying."

"Only because I am alone with you." Allyson replied, chuckling. If she were with company, her focus would just be on them, and a little on Fleur, and back on them, then back to Fleur. But finishing with what she was doing, she heard her wife ask if they should find their sisters.

"Alright, I am surprised they are not down here yet. Mostly because Lisa wouldn't stay up there all day if our parents were coming," Allyson said thoughtfully as she moved over to the blonde. Offering the woman her arm, she heard the kids running into the house.

Knowing her wife hated when they ran in the house, she fixed them with a stern look and told them to stop running in Spanish, which they did immediately. They knew that was her no nonsense voice!

"Father," she greeted her father, pulling away from Fleur for a moment to hug him and give him a kiss. Mr. Turpin gave her a tight squeeze, lifting her off the ground and spinning her a moment. "Allyson, dear. It has been too long!" he sighed, letting her go.

She asked him to go to the parlor, that they would be over in a second as soon as they located Lisa and Gabrielle.
---

"I am not," Lisa protested. She wasn't afraid of anyone! Except an angry Fleur, and an angry Gabrielle...and an angry Allyson...Pulling Gabrielle against her body, she didn't know how else to explain it. "The kids should not be seeing our privates, that is why Allyson and Fleur wear clothes. They are too young to have to be explained these things, and as curious as kids are, they will ask, and try to touch..."

But then Gabrielle made up her mind, which made Lisa pull away. Frowning at her wife, she felt a little hurt. She had agreed to the dress, why couldn't Gabby agree with not doing something she was uncomfortable with in front of others? Giving her wife a small peck on the cheek, she nodded.

"I am going to go spend time with my father, possibly my mother, try not to die before your mother and make pleasantries with your father. And to see my nieces and nephew." Lisa said as she grabbed a pair of panties, that Gabrielle had designed for her with the matching bra, and pulled down what clothes she'd wear for the small meeting for the day. Tomorrow will be yet another battle.

"I kind of wanted to go on a romantic getaway later tonight after dinner on my bike," Lisa added, having revealed the surprise for Gabrielle if they had survived...pulling on tight black pants, and her knee high boots, Lisa rifled through the drawers to find a shirt.

"She vud be smarter zen she ees eef she does."

Their parents were atrocious! Taking her wife's arm, Fleur exited the kitchen at Allyson's side. Noticing the children running into the house, the blonde frowned in annoyance. Running in the house caused accidents! Allyson took care of it, however, so she only fixed her children with a stern look.

"Children, go upstairs to your rooms and avait your aunts. Zey vill help you change."

**************

Gabrielle shuddered. She didn't want children touching her! Eww! What was Lisa thinking!? Disturbed, she drew away from Lisa, once again at odds with her wife.

"I hate family," she grumbled, going back to the bed.

Climbing under the covers, the holiday was ruined to her. Her happy plans were dashed, and she didn't really feel like doing anything. Her mating cycle would end in two days...not that her relatives cared what they were disrupting.

Allyson didn't really comment as her father took up her time for the moment. She guessed they were not going to be going upstairs then. Just as Allyson was going to relate to her father how healthy the kids were growing up to be, a knock came at the door.

"I'll get it." She offered, leaving the Veela and Mr. Turpin alone again.

"How do you want to bet that is Marisol?" Mr Turpin grinned, raising an eyebrow at Fleur in a playful manner.
---

The children went upstairs, walking the first half of stairs but as soon as they were near the top, they began to run again. Banging on the door of Lisa's and Gabrielle's room, they called for their aunts, a giggling and giddy mess of squirmy little children.
---

Lisa pulled on a dark red shirt, pulling a black jacket on over it as she finished changing. Standing up, she went to the bathroom to do her hair. It wouldn't take long, she was going to leave it down any way.

"You don't," Lisa commented, coming back out and leaning against the door frame for a moment. Gabrielle couldn't! Why was she trying to have babies then, if she hated family? Didn't she realize that with babies, parents would be over more often?

There was a sudden banging on their doors, then their names being called but happy kids. Lisa glanced to Gabby for a moment before going to the door. Making sure her love was covered, she cracked the door open, seeing three messy children.

"What happened to you lot?"

"We have to get cleaned up! Help us!"

Left alone with Mr. Turpin, Fleur smiled politely. She had no idea what to say to him, they had little in common. At first not knowing who he referred to, understanding slowly came to her.

"Your wife?" she asked.

She never used her wife's parents first names! It was sacrilege to do so. Fleur didn't even refer to her own parents by their first names. It was much too...familiar...

"You vill not go meet her?" she asked him.

***************

Hearing the banging, Gabrielle pulled the covers over her head. Surely they would protect her from the outside world? Whose idea was it to have their parents come over for Christmas? Ignoring whatever was going on at the door, the Veela tried not to think about anything.

"Yep," he replied, rather chipper as he shoved his hands into his pockets. Waiting for the return of both women, he could hear them talking. But then asked if he will not meet her at the door, he shook his head. Why crash a reunion when he could just wait? They could catch up later. They always did.

Allyson and her mother soon entered the room, Marisol, though not looking very pleased to see Fleur, still greeted the other woman politely. She was accustomed to greeting people she did not like, as it came with her line of work when she needed to make negotiations for whatever part of the world she was working in.

"Alex," she smiled, hugging the man. Mr. Turpin hugged her back, kissing her cheek politely. "Mari."

Allyson moved back to Fleur. "Lunch time?"

"No, where is Lisa?"
---

The little kids opened the door, looking around for Gabrielle. Except, Marcos stood by the door, looking up at Lisa as Lisa stumbled somewhat. "Are you okay?"

The little girls called for Gabrielle, looking for her...

Curtsying to the older...much, much older...woman, Fleur greeted her politely. She knew next to nothing about the woman, and didn't care to learn anything more. They would never be chums, the woman was as hostile to her as her mother was to Allyson.

"Lee-za ees vith zee children and vill be down shortly. She volunteered to get zem ready to greet zere grandmothers after Mr. Turpin was kind enough to watch zem vor uz outside."

If Mrs. Turpin had issue with it, she could take it up with her husband. Taking Allyson's hand, she tried to present a wall of solidarity to her wife's parents. She was starting to wish she had joined Allyson for a nap...

**************

Gabrielle made no response, ignoring the little voices. She would not be drawn out of this room, and besides...she was naked. The French woman couldn't just pop up and yell surprise! Unhappy, the Veela was feeling depressed again. Did nothing please her?

Mrs. Turpin looked sharply at her husband, who only shrugged in return. It pointed him out as guilty! Soon being led away by Allyson and Fleur, all grownups minus Lisa and Gabby were in the parlor.
---

"She's not here, come on girls." Lisa replied, hoping to save Gabrielle a pouncing. Marcos took Lisa's hand, the girls running to grab her other hand, and a leg. Walking awkwardly, Lisa made it to their rooms, soon having them dressed and prettied up.

Glancing once more to the door of her room, which was closed, she sighed as they headed downstairs to greet the parents.

"We're here!" Lisa announced, walking with the girls in hand and Marcos behind her. They were all nice and behaving now!

When the children arrived in the parlor, Mrs. Delacour rushed to them to make sure they were alright and that the bad man hadn't hurt them. She spent some time fussing over them as Fleur went to greet her sister-in-law. Giving Lisa a hug and pat on the bottom, the blonde gave the younger woman a questioning look.

"Vere ees Gabrielle?"

Mr. Delacour was already engrossed with Mr. Turpin, swapping stories about their past adventures they had already shared a hundred times. But they were stories about the good old days, before wives and families. Mrs. Delacour looked up, noticing Gabrielle's absence finally.

"Vere ees my daughter? Vere are you hiding her?" she demanded to know.

Watching as the mother of her wife began to fuss over the children, Lisa was distracted as Fleur hugged her, blushing slightly as she was patted. Hey! That was new.

"She does not want to come down," Lisa said softly, only to be bombarded with the demands of her mother-in-law. A little surprised, she was about to say that she was busy with clothing, which had been on her mind... but her mother jumped in.

"What makes you think my daughter is hiding your daughter?" Mrs. Turpin replied, standing up as she made her way over to Lisa's side. Allyson sighed, shaking her head as the children looked between their grandmothers, wondering what was going on. Why couldn't they be civil like the French man and the British man that were their fathers.

Lisa was drawn into a slight embrace by her mother, more so like she was being protected and pulled away from Fleur. "Mom, it's fine."

"No, it's not." Marisol said stubbornly.

The battle of the grandmothers had commenced! Mrs. Delacour turned to glare at Mrs. Turpin, someone she had held a grudge against seemingly forever. What that grudge was had never been said, but she hadn't been pleased when both her daughters married Turpins. The disgrace!

"Eef she does not want to come down, zen zere ees a reason. I am guessing your daughter did something...no surprise since she ees an awful wife who almost killed my daughter vith her stupidity and lack of love."

Fleur stiffened, thinking that she probably shouldn't have told her mother about how Lisa had abandoned Gabrielle. Her little sister had almost died! It seemed proper to inform their mother of her youngest daughter's near death.

Lisa paused, stunned. She hadn't known that Mrs. Delacour knew about that. It wasn't something she was proud of, a small gasp escaped Ally as she stood, wondering if she was needed to get over there at the moment. But apparently not...

"Perhaps the reason is you," Marisol shot back just as quickly, having heard about that. But Lisa had had very important work, so she could easily understand her daughter's time away from home. It seemed to take a moment for Lisa to come back, shaking her head.

Gabby, please, come down here. Lisa pleaded, silently.

"Me? My daughters adore me. Eet ees you zat no one can stand. You smell like zat slum you call Spain."

Mrs. Delacour scoffed haughtily at Mrs. Turpin. Her daughters had never run off halfway across the world to leave their mates to die! The Turpin sisters weren't worthy of her daughters, or any Veela. Fleur moved to her mother's side, hoping that she could do something to stop this but not knowing what.

"I vill go find her," Mrs. Delacour declared, heading towards the stairs.

There was no response from Gabrielle...

Lisa pulled away from her mother quickly, which distracted the Turpin woman only to be grabbed by Allyson. The older Turpin shook her head, looking to Fleur. They really ought to not get involved with a mother seeking her child. Only if it turns bad, then we jump in. Ally told them, letting Lisa relax in her hold.

Mrs. Turpin, watching as the other women left the room, took a chair on the other side of the room, fuming. She was trying not to make a scene for the children, but her blood was positively boiling with anger!

Mrs. Delacour went up the stairs, noticing that the stain had dried by now as she passed it. Knowing which room her daughter was in, she went straight to it. Knocking three times, when there was no answer she spelled the door open. A scream soon followed, then some yelling, then silence...

Fleur looked nervously between the Turpin women. "Should I go upstairs az vell?"

Lisa didn't wait for an answer, pulling away from Allyson and running upstairs. Running into the room, she looked for Gabrielle, only to find her on the bed. Not really liking the fact that Mrs. Delacour was in her room, Lisa walked to her wife, standing behind her with a determined look on her face. Mrs. Delacour was not chasing her out!

"You might as well, prevent any damage. I will stay with the children here." Allyson nodded, watching the three kids play on the floor since things settled down slightly. Marcos stood up and went to sit on Mr. Delacour's lap so he could hear the two men talk.

Gabrielle was laying in bed, the covers pulled up to her chin. Mrs. Delacour sat beside her, gently stroking her daughter's hair. She turned to level Lisa with a death glare when the Turpin girl rushed in. Gabrielle had admitted everything!

"You are a horrid mate," the Delacour matriarch declared.

Giving Allyson a grateful look, Fleur then hurried upstairs to check on her sister. She entered to find a battle brewing. Christmas was going to be nothing but damage control!

"Perhaps vee should go downstairs and let Gabrielle get ready to join uz?" Fleur suggested.

Changing her mind, Lisa sighed dejectedly, casting a look at Gabrielle before she began to walk out. Except Fleur came in, making her stop. If Gabrielle and Mrs. Delacour were going to join forces, then Lisa had no chance of winning, which meant she probably shouldn't even try.

"Good idea," Lisa said to Fleur, moving past the older blonde on her way down the stairs. She wasn't feeling very jolly anymore, suddenly wondering whose idea it was to have everyone come over...

Oh, right. It was the parents idea.

She would wait for her sister-in-law, if it weren't for their mother being so nearby...

Is everything alright? Allyson asked her wife, sitting with her mother. Each had a girl in their lap, watching as they played with their dolls, talking amongst themselves.

Gabrielle wasn't joining forces with her mother, she just couldn't keep secrets from her when Mrs. Delacour pried! After Lisa left, Fleur was shooed out. Following Lisa down the stairs, Fleur looked worried.

Ten minutes later, Mrs. Delacour returned with Gabrielle in tow. Gabrielle looked sullen, dressed in a very bright dress with more ribbons then hair in her hair. Dressed up similar to the dolls the little girls were playing with, she waited for someone to laugh at her.

"Zere...vee vere going to have lunch?" Mrs. Delacour inquired.

Lisa blinked as Gabrielle came down looking like...a doll. Literally.

Allyson was speechless. What the hell? What sort of sick joke was this, dressing the younger woman like a little child? Turning away for a moment, she took a deep breath, composing herself as she stood up, carrying her youngest daughter in her arms.

Marcos and the oldest girl hopped off their grandparents lap, taking their toys with them as they walked to Lisa and grabbed her hands. They wanted hands to hold, but Aunty Gabby didn't look happy...

Mrs. Turpin rolled her eyes as she followed Ally, what a ridiculous get up!

"Lunch should be ready," Allyson mentioned.
