Hey, guys! This is the second installment to FitS! This story will include all kinds of vacation time for our girls. I know it seems scattered, but it's more organized for me this way.

Vacations:

1. Christmas

2. Spring Break

3. Thanksgiving

This is probably the most important chapter of them all. Emily and JJ have known each for five months, and this will be the first Christmas the girls spend together.


Emily: 10 years old.

JJ: 5 years old.


Christmas Eve (morning) of 1989. JJ's P.O.V.

"Momma, can I please, please, please open a present early?" I beg Mommy as I follow her into the kitchen. It is Christmas Eve and Momma is getting the turkey ready to cook all day. While that is outside in what in the 'turkey cooker', my Momma is inside making pies.

Momma is making a chocolate pie and a pumpkin pie. Aunt Amber will make the lemon icebox and pecan pie, and Aunt Maria is making two surprise pies. She never makes the same two years in a row. I hope it's another chocolate pie, cause everyone likes that kind!

After pies are ready, Momma gets the dressing, and green bean casserole in the oven and then she gets the mac and cheese out. Aunt Amber is also making a sweet potato casserole and the mash potatoes. Aunt Maria does the other thing of dressing and mac and cheese.

"Well, baby if you open another one today, then you won't have any to open tonight."

"Okay. Can I call Emmy and sees if she want to come over?" I ask instead. Then I add, "If she isn't busy with her family?" Cause I know Emmy's mom and dad usually takes her away for Christmas.

"Sure, sweetheart." I cheer and run to the phone. I dial the number Emmy helped me remember and then I wait for her to pick up.

"¡ Hola, bebé, una niña. ¡ Feliz Navidad!" I hear Emily say. I smile real big. Hey, baby girl. Merry Christmas!

"Hola Emmy! Feliz Navidad!" Hi, Emmy! Merry Christmas!

"¿Cómo estás, cariño?" How are you, sweetheart?

Since I met Emmy, she has teached me how to speak Spanish! She says only me, her and Uncle J know how too. Uncle J is Emmy's daddy. Not even her momma knows how to speak Spanish!

"¡Soy bueno" I'm good!

"That's great, baby. What are you up to?"

"Nothing. Are you busy with your mommy and daddy?" I ask.

"No, I'm not. Did you need something?"

"Can you come over, please, Emmy? I wanna watch a Christmas movie with you."

"Sure I can come, Princess. I'll tell my dad and be right over, okay?"

"Okay, Emmy!" I hang the phone up and give it to mommy. Then I go back to the living room. My sissy and bubba are in there.

When Emmy gets here we go up to my room.

"Emmy, do you wanna color with me?"

"Sure, bug. What kind of pictures do you have?" I show Emmy a pictures of a gingerbread house with candy canes, and gumdrops, and yummy icing. Then I show her a Christmas tree with lots and lots presents. Then I show her a Christmas wreath.

"I'm gonna color the gingerbread house. Which one do you want?"

"Let me have the Christmas tree." I hand her the page and then give her a pretty green crayon. I color my wreath green with purple and pink Christmas lights on it. The I color the big bow red.

"Do you like my picture, Emily?" I even made sure to stay I the lines. Sissy taught me to take my time and not rush. To color really, really slow.

"Yes, I love it. It's very pretty. And you know what?"

"What?"

"I'm going to hang it up in my room. Right above my desk so I can see it everyday. I just need you to do one thing."

"What, Emmy?"

"I need you to sign your name. Can you write your name nice and neat?" I nod and get a blue crayon. Then I write: 'J-e-n-n-y J-a-r-e-a-u.'

"There!" I give the paper back to her.

"Thank you very much, sweetheart."


Later in the morning.

After we get done coloring, me and Emmy watch a Christmas movie! We watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas! It's a funny movie cause the mean grinch is silly!

After we watch the movie, Emmy makes us grilled cheese sandwiches for a snack and Momma gives us hot chocolate with extra marshmallows. Yummy!

"Okay sweetie." Emmy says after she puts her plate in the sink. "I need to go home. My dad said I could onto come for the morning and then I need to come home for lunch."

"Aw! But do you have to go?" I ask. Emmy kisses my forehead.

"Yes, sweetie, I do. But my dad says I can come back after you open your presents. But only if it is okay with your momma. I don't want to get in the way of your family time."

"Oh, can she Momma? Please? Emmy is family too, right?"

"Of course she is. And if it is absolutely okay with her parents then she can come over." Mommy says. Yay!

"Yay! Emmy, you can come over."

"Okay. I will see you tonight. Merry Christmas, butterfly."

"Merry Christmas, Emmy!"

"Thank you, Mrs. Jareau. I just didn't want to intrude on you family time."

"Nonsense, Emily. You are like family to us. You're Jenny's best friend and you are like a daughter to me. If you would like, Jenny could give you a call when we are opening presents." Mommy says to Emily. "Oh, and I've told you Emily; please call me Sandy. Mrs. Jareau is my mother-in-law and it makes me feel old."

"Okay, Sandy. Well if it won't be a bother, then I guess Jenny can call me."

"You're gonna come open present with us, Emmy?" I ask. Yay! I get to see Emmy in the morning and at night!

"I guess I will. I need to go and I'll see you tonight, butterfly. Bye-bye."

"Bye, Emmy!"


Something short and sweet for the night. Give me prompts for vacations for these one-shots.

If you want, I can put up the nighttime version of this so it will actual be them speeding Christmas together. Just whatever you guys want.
