Another Christmas
They walked inside a room, where a little girl, slightly older than Angelica, sat upright in bed, listlessly flipping through the pages of a book with bright illustrations. She looked up with surprise to see the nurse with guests, and glanced at Bette and gave Angie a shy smile.
Angie hid slightly behind Bette while the nurse said “Felicity, this lady is named Bette, and this is her little girl, Angelica. They wanted to stop by and wish you a merry Christmas.”
Felicity looked to be about Angelica’s age. “Hi,” she said in a soft voice.
Bette shook Angelica’s hand and her daughter responded. “Hi. I’m Angie.”
“Hello, Felicity. We just wanted to stop by and tell you Merry Christmas,” Bette said.
“Thank you,” Felicity said. “I can’t wait until Christmas. I love it, don’t you? I wanted to have a tree in my room, but my daddy said it’s not allowed.”
“We have something we wanted to give you. Angelica picked it out herself.”
Bette took the bag from the toy store and gave it to Angelica, who then handed it to Felicity. The expression of joy on the little girl’s face when she pulled the toy out of the bag melted Bette’s heart, and she bit her lip to keep the tears at bay.
“I love it!” Felicity cried. “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome,” Bette said.
The nurse helped Felicity get the doll out of the box and Felicity hugged the toy almost reverently. “She’ll be my best friend,” Felicity said. “My mommy and daddy aren’t always here. Sometimes I get lonely. But I won’t anymore.” Felicity looked at her doll, beaming. She turned to Angie with a grin. “What’s her name?”
Angelica thought for a moment, then said, “Mimi.”
“Mimi.” Felicity hugged Mimi to her chest and then cradled her. “Thank you for Mimi,” Felicity said.
“You’re welcome,” Angelica said.
“I’m afraid visiting time is over,” the nurse said. Bette and Angie said their goodbyes and the nurse ushered them out of the room, leaving behind a happy Felicity, who was talking to her doll.
Angie was quiet and contemplative on the way downstairs and back onto the street.
“Are you sad that you gave Felicity the doll?” Bette asked her.

That was a nice Christmas Story. I loved that Angie understood what Bette was trying to show her about Christmas and then when she wanted to get more toys for the other kids was just so precious. Glad too that t
As I was saying-Glad to that Tina will have time off to be with her family and her framily.
I wish on the show they showed Angelica running a muck in driving her mom’s crazy lol that would’ve been so cute and funny
