When:December 25
Summary:They celebrate Christmas

It was as close to a perfect Christmas as they could have had. They were together, they had a beautiful house, a life with more freedom than any they'd known since arriving here, and yet April couldn't help but to miss the others. The noise, the children, the dogs, the working together to create a party that would make up for not being at home with your loved ones. That of course was the one thing she wouldn't share with Eliot, not when he was finally more relaxed than he'd been since arriving here. More than relaxed, he was happy. That, to her, was the best Christmas present she could give - or receive for that matter.

They'd spent yesterday much like the first Christmas she'd spent in this dimension, handing out presents to children who would not otherwise get any. It was something she'd enjoyed doing that first year, and something she was more than happy to do again now that she had the chance. It was easily arranged through Church, and Catholic or not, she'd forced Nate into joining too. She suspected he might even have liked it when she overheard a comment about 'being too much like Parker'. She'd long since learned that anything related to their team was a compliment.

Today had been all about the food, and while April might have wished they were cooking for more people, she was incredibly blessed to have this family, a family she was determined to see grow. In the meantime, she kept the gift she bought the friend who was not here hidden. She might never see any of the people they'd left again, but then again she just might someday.
