Tris' POV
"Okay so after you've written your list, hand it to me and I'll post it for you," I tell Imogen as I set a piece of paper in front of her,
"Why? Santa already knows what I want," she says,
"Well, because there are so many boys and girls in the factions, Santa can't remember what everyone wants," I say quickly, she nods and starts writing, I lean against the counter as Tobias walks in with shopping bags, I see a doll sticking out of one and my eyes widen, he sets the bag on the table and the doll comes out Imogen snaps her head up and sees the doll and picks it up,
"Woah, this is the doll that I want!" she exclaims,
"That's good, cause that yours," Tobias says,
"I thought Santa was meant to get it me," she says frowning,
"Santa doesn't exist darling," Tobias says, Imogen gapes at him then runs out crying,
"What the hell Tobias!" I say,
"What? We didn't let Lena or Jace believe," he says defensively,
"Yeah and look at them now," I say,
"Hey we heard that," says Lena as she walks into the kitchen with her brother, "What's all the shouting about,"
"Your father told Imogen about Santa," I say,
"And I thought I was stupid," says Jace,
"What do we do?" asks Tobias,
"You could always dress up as Santa," jokes Lena,
"That's actually not a bad idea," I say, I get a variety of answers like a 'Yeah!' from Jace, an 'I was kidding!' from Lena, and a 'You're not getting me in a Santa suit,' from Tobias,
"Oh come on!" I say, "You broke our little girl's heart,"
"I'll go get a Santa costume," Tobias say defeated.

"Imogen, can you come out here for a second?" I shout, I hear a door open and then see my little girl walking solemnly into the living room, "Aw sweetheart come here," I say and she climbs onto my lap,
"Was daddy saying the truth mommy?" she asks, time to put the plan in action,
"No," I say, she looks up confused, "Daddy said to you because he's a silly moo," she laughs,
"So Santa is real," she says jumping up, I nod and say "Yes he's real and he was so angry at your father that he decided to come here himself," her face lights up, and I feel a bit guilty about doing this to her, "Oh Mr. Claus!" I call, then Tobias comes in and it's all worth it, I hear a click,
"There's next year's Christmas card," Lena says, Tobias comes walking in, in the rented Santa suit that's too big for him, since when did Godzilla need a Santa suit, I don't know,
"Hello Imogen," he says in a voice deeper than normal, I see Jace trying so hard not to laugh he has to leave the room, but Imogen has her eyes focused on Tobias.
I was so focused on the exchange I didn't notice Dylan come in to the room, he starts growling at Tobias as soon as he sees him, and goes over and starts pulling on his loose pant leg, Tobias looks down to get him to stop and his oversized hat falls off, revealing his brown hair, Imogen frowns and pulls off Tobias fake beard, she immediately started to cry and runs out,
"Stupid dog," Lena says, and gets up and follows Imogen,
"What are we going to do now?" asks Tobias,
"Plan B," I say,
(\_/) (")_(")
"But why would daddy dress up as Santa Claus if he is real?" asks Imogen,
"Because, we tried to get Santa but because it's so close to Christmas he couldn't come, but he let your dad borrow his suit so he could help Santa out," I say, she nods, "But after what happened with Dylan Santa said to make you believe again write him a letter with what you want most in the entire world and he'll get it you,"
"Okay but I'm doing it in my room, it's private," she says and clutches the paper to her chest and runs off,
"I hope this works," Tobias says,
Time Lapse
I set down dinner and call everyone to the table; they all literally come running in,
"Look I know I'm a good cook but where's the fire," I say with a laugh,
"You haven't cooked for use all day we're starving," says Jace, I roll my eyes and sit down, we all start eating, in silence, near the end of the meal Tobias decides to break it,
"Imogen I need that letter for Santa," says Tobias,
"No you don't," says Imogen,
"Why?" we all ask, creepy...
"'Cause I already sent it," she says, we all stare at her in shock,
"You did what?" I ask,
"Sent to Santa," she says,
"Can you tell us what was on it?" asks Lena,
"No," says Imogen, "It's between me and Santa," with that she leaves and Tobias puts his head in his hands,

Tobias POV
I wake up to the yells of a four year old and begin to prepare myself for the look on her face when she finds out Santa isn't real, we all follow her into the living room where Tris and I piled presents high for the kids, I spot the small envelope on top of Imogen's pile and remember Tris saying she had thought this would be what she wanted,
So Tris and I sat there whilst the kids opened present after present, Imogen leaving the envelope to last, watching the surprise listening to the thanks, and waiting for Imogen to open that little red envelope,
When the time comes she opens it painstakingly slow, she looks at what seems to be a little sheet of white card and a grin spread across her face,
"It's just what I wanted," she says,
"What?" I ask,
"A new brother or sister."
...Merry Christmas? I'M SORRY!

But now I give you the promise of a sequel, am I forgiven? Which reminds me, I won't be writing the sequel until I have used all the ideas in my brain, and I have to many so PM me if you want to take some off me, don't forget to review thanks!
