Dana smiled as she ran her finger over the letter A, ” not enough, she’s done so much for me in the past year, I just, I want her to know how much she means to me. You think she’ll like it?”

Tina wrapped an arm around Dana, ” for all I know, you could’ve given her a pair of socks, and she would love it, she loves you Dana”.

Dana smiled and hugged her friend, ” Thanks T”.

Tina laughed and walked over to the tree, ” so what you get me?”

——————

Bette’s and Tina’s house was filled with all their friends, with Christmas music playing in the background. Bette was laying the food out on the table, while Tina went to put baby Angelica, who was fast asleep, in their room. Shane and Carmen were cuddling together on the couch, while Alice stood near the tree talking to Jenny. Dana was running late, and everyone was waiting for her to get there before opening the presents. Within a half an hour Dana had finally arrived, with her gifts in hand, Shane got up from her chair and walked over to Dana to help her out, ” nice of you to show up Fairbanks”.

Dana went around the room giving everyone a hug, she looked around noticing Alice was no where to be seen, ” where’s Al at?”

Tina pointed towards the room, ” she’s with Angelica. Why don’t you go say hi to them?”

Dana smiled widely and grabbed her gift for Alice, ” I’ll be back”.

Dana walked over to the room, the door was partially closed, but Dana could still see Alice. Alice was holding Angelica rocking her to sleep in the rocking chair. Dana could not help but smile, Alice was beautiful, and in moments where Alice was in her own element, Dana could feel her heard melt for her best friend.

Dana softly knocked on the door as she opened it, ” Hey Al”

Alice looked up and smiled, ” Hey, did you just get here?”

Dana nodded and walked over to Alice and knelt beside her giving Angelica a kiss, then she smiled up at Alice, and although she felt nervous at first, she found the courage to give her friend a kiss on the forehead and whispered,” Merry Christmas”.
