God guys, I can't believe it took that long. Actually, a couple of things happened and I didn'T feel like writing for a while. Anyway, this will be tha last chapter of The One Class He Found Hard. I don't have inspiration for it anymore, but I included a small epilogue. I hope you're going to like it.
Thousand tanks to every reader and reviewer, you made my day more than once. I will still be writing so I hope you'll check out once in a while. Here you go...

Fact 1: He never thought Christmas shopping would be so complicated.

Fact 2: The adults were easy.

Fact 3: The kids were the hard part.

Fact: He was nervous.

Spencer was sitting on the plane that would bring Derek and him to Chicago. They would pass a few days with Derek's mother and sisters before they went back to the summer house for Christmas Eve morning.

Presents had been wrapped and carefully placed into larger boxes for the shipping. Derek had found Spencer's obsession with the plastic bubble wrapping quite funny. Even more when he learned that Spencer had precisely calculated everything twice to make sure everything would get there in time and in perfect condition.

But after weeks of thinking and preparation, they had gotten every ready. Fran had even called them to confirm the reception of the different items and their physical states. Derek had never seen Spencer so relieved about something. It was an illogical process in which Spencer refused adamantly to take part… well most of the time anyway. But just in case, Spencer reviewed his mental list once more.

A mystery novel for Grandma Maggie (who thought such an old lady would love mysteries)

New tea cups for Alexandra (Her dog had broken some while she was on the phone with Derek)

Joe

Plane tickets for Fran (so that she could come and visit them back home)

A jewelry box for Desiree (she kept complaining that her old one was getting too small.

A collection of Jules Verne stories for Sarah (she had once told Spencer she'd like her students to discover his universe)

A gift card for Micah (only because Spencer had insisted – Derek still didn't like the idea of his baby sister dating to which Spencer rolled his eyes. After all, he was younger than Sarah)

Scented oils for Yvonne (to go with Cindy's Lampe Berger for her mother)

A book on car for Paul (the one he had been throwing not so subtle hint at his wife for a while now)

A fragrance lamp for Cindy (she'd been so excited about her mom's, but not a real one because it was too expensive)

Two books on feminism and Famous women for Madeline (always the feminist one in the family)

Baby clothes and a teddy bear for Alexia who was expecting a third child (But shh! Her and Benny were announcing it just before the gifts exchange.)

The biography of a Jazz musician for Benny (Spencer still couldn't understand how the hell Derek didn't know the man.)

The new Mario Kart game for Tyler (since he had received his DS for his birthday he was always playing with it. Spencer had to refrain from exposing long time video game exposure consequences to the kid.)

A Hot Wheels race track for Anthony (whose obsession for cars seemed to grow as much as his uncle day after day.)

A crockpot for Michael (He was the one cooking in the house. He had what Em and Pen had nicknamed the Morgan cooking gene going for him.)

Two cooking books for April (Even though she was a disaster in the kitchen, she was still trying. She didn't have the Morgan cooking gene and it showed.)

Wool in every imaginable color for Susannah. (She was the family knitter and she would probably get started on baby clothes after dinner.)

Charlie Chaplin's movie for Adam (Every year, he'd get obsessed with an old actor. This year, it was Charlie Chaplin)

A gymnast Barbie for Lily (She had started gymnastics in September and her whole world resolved around it.)

A green silk scarf for June (she had a thing for Confession of a Shopaholic Desiree had said. When he didn't understand, Spencer read the book… He had finish in fifteen minutes.)

Kyle had asked for a Star Wars Lego (He had discovered the Star Wars universe since the family reunion… Spencer couldn't wait to speak with the kid again.)

A brand new baby doll and a lot of clothes for Sophia. (She was in her I want a baby phase. Spencer was sure she was going to be thrilled with the birth of a new Morgan.)

Bath and body products for Elisa. (She was receiving the exact same thing every single year and was always pleased with it.)

A bottle of wine for Thomas. (It would need a couple of years in his cellar, but he had plenty other bottles they could open for Christmas.)

Romance novels for Katherine (She was the romantic sappy one of the family; had been since she was a kid.)

A DIY book for Frank. (He was as much as good at it as Alexia was at cooking. Details were unimportant.)

A monster lab for James (He had a thing for monsters and creating… but he was better at it than his father.)

A whole princess wardrobe for Fanny (One dress by Disney princess. It was really important because you never knew which princess she'd wake up to be.)

And finally Play-Doh for Jordan. (He was in his I'm a big boy now and loved to do like his older brother and his father.)

There wasn't anything for the Williams part of the family because they probably wouldn't show.

Fact 4: Williams and Morgans didn't get along at all.

Fact 5: It was worse than Derek had let him believe at the reunion.

That was something Spencer had learned the hard way. He had mentioned them once at Sarah. The normally sweet girl had become really angry. Spencer had changed the subject. When he had asked Derek about it, the black man had sighed.

"It's been going on for years. Grandpa Jo and Julia always had different opinions about the world. Through the years, every choice made by my father, my aunts or any of us really became a reason to fight. My father married my mom, a white woman, Aunt Maddie was left by her husband and changed her name and her kids name back to Morgan, the other followed. Every once in a while things seem to get better, but there's always something that happens... Something happened after Thanksgiving, but Grandpa Jo and Grandma Maggie won't say what. Guess Sarah knows after all."

"That's why we're not buying gifts?"

"Yeah, they probably won't show up."

"Why didn't you tell me it was that bad at the reunion?"

"Because they're Grandma Maggie's daughter and grandchildren. It hurts her every time something happens."

"I can understand that."

A couple hours later, they parked in front of Derek's childhood house. Spencer had been fidgeting in his seat for a while. Derek put his hand on Spencer's knee.

"Are you okay? They love you, you know. Why are you so nervous?" Derek asked in a gentle voice.

"Are you sure you want to tell them?" Spencer asked, turning his ring nervously.

"Are you getting cold feet? We can wait if you want. It's no big deal, babe." Derek said softly, meaning every word.

"I don't want to. This is for us, not for anyone else. I want this. I love you Derek!"

Derek smiled softly before kissing Spencer.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah, come on!" Spencer said smiling and getting out of the car before Derek.

SRDM

Three days later as Spencer sat curled up on the couch against Derek, watching everyone enjoy the night; he knew he had made the right decision. Papers, bags and plastic wrapping covered the floor. It was messy, but nobody cared. They had much more to celebrate. Alexia and Benny were having another kid, but more than that there was going to be a wedding! Spencer had never been so hugged, kissed and congratulated in his life. Every time he tried to put the subject back on Alexia and Benny they'd hushed him. This was what family was about… and he had to admit he loved it.

Before they knew it, it was time for the two men to head back to L.A. They had jobs to go back to and Spencer found out that he would have like to stay. And while sitting on the plane on the way back, he realized that the one class he had hated had become the start of a new life.

Fact 4: He still had the biggest crush on Derek Morgan.

Fact 5: He was in love with Derek.

Fact 6: He was loved back by Derek.

Fact 7: He had a big family waiting for him back home.

Fact 8: He was getting married.

Fact 9: He was happy.
