Joe spoke quietly.
“Ditto kiddo.”
Ellie and Tina laughed and Ellie turned and gave her father a hug. Joe embraced his daughter tightly and then pulled back and looked at his daughter as he handed her a small present.
“One more tradition. One gift on Christmas Eve, and by the way, we always buy that gift together and that hasn’t changed. Merry Christmas, El.”
Ellie took the gift, smiled and carefully opened the gift. She pulled out an antique locket.
“Oh wow, it’s beautiful.”
“Open it El.”
Ellie opened the locket and saw on one side a picture of her mother and on the other a picture of her father.
Ellie leaned in and hugged her parents.
“Thanks guys. This really means a lot. I know you both have really tried to make this as easy for me as possible, I really appreciate it. I really love you guys.”
“We love you too Ellie.”
“You know you guys may want to go check on your dates. They are both pretty hot and you never know …”
Tina and Joe exchanged glances and they rose and began walking into the kitchen on the way Joe quipped.
“Not a terrible idea El, you do have a point, but your old Mom and Dad are pretty hot too.”
They laughed as they walked into the kitchen.
Tina walked up behind Bette and gave her a big hug from behind.
“Thanks, Babe.”
Joe laughed.
“Tina, I think it’s Ellie that should thank Bette. Ellie might have died of embarrassment if they’d stayed in the room.”
Ellie punched her father on the arm and mumbled.
“You’re probably right.”
Everyone laughed. Joe and Kay said Good Night.
“El call me when you all wake up and I’ll be here in 15 minutes. No gifts until I get here. Got it!”
“Got it.”
Joe leaned down and hugged his daughter tight.
“I love you Dad.”
“I love you too, Kiddo”
With that Kay and Joe left leaving Tina, Bette and Ellie.
Ellie turned to Tina and gave her a hug.
“Good Night Mom. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
Ellie walked up to Bette and gave her a hug.
“Good Night Bette.”
“Good Night Ellie”
Ellie waved and walked up the stairs.
Tina turned to Bette and pulled her into a warm embrace.
“I’ll race you to bed”
“You’re on”

Great update. You make it sweet without making it corny. I love the interaction between all the characters. Besides, you have managed to make a good guy out of Joe and not some kind of asshole who is so easy to hate. I think it makes Tina’s choici to leave hime even more significant. Thank you so much.
It was great how all the families got along, even the ex’s. Please continue.
you made me think about X’Mas, Dazed. Thank you and PPS.
Christmas brings family together. Your story touched on all the parts that I love about Christmas. The appreciation and love we have for family that translates into doing thoughtful actions and can also be trying to really see the other persons point of veiw and making the best of difficult situations. I enjoyed how you included a little insight into each character’s emotion and expectation of Christmas.
this story is wonderful….thanks for writing it and sharing with all of us
How I love this story. You have shown all the aspects of falling in love when there are others involved and how to act so as not to cause others pain and hurt children and other family members. If not handled right this coupling could have been disastrous for everyone. It’s so good that Joe did not feel that he had become the wronged spouse and turn their daughter against her mother. Tina is the most absolutely stunningly beautiful awesome woman going. I need to stop now because I’m getting carried away but, you get the point. Thanks for showing us what love truly means.
I really like how it all came together, and I’m glad that everyone’s getting along. Bette’s likely having her best Christmas ever. Thanks for another great chapter. Cheers, DnA! :)
AWESOME UPDATE, but where’s the next chapter???? PPS
I am so happy for Bette, she is the lucky one. All together at Christmas that isthe spirit lol. PPVS
Sounded like a great party. I know something like that had to be a little ackward for them as well. But at least they are all civil with one another and really desire to be friends. Most relationships don’t end up that way. Too bad. I know with my ex it took years before I could stand to look at the man, let alone the woman he left me to marry a month later. I’m glad for Bette and Tina in this story that it is working out so well. This is the way things would go if people were mature and loving.
This is making my poorly days ao much better. Always look out for this story, great job. I love the way these two are just so natural with each other.
Hello D&A, Many thanks for another fine and sweet chappie. What makes this latest one so perfect is how family and friends make the party and time of year so special. There is a true sense of belonging in this group. It was wonderful that Joe and his date were welcomed as warmly as the rest of his family. Good to see Joe’s brother and his family so accepting of Bette. The Christmas traditions were amazing. Kit singing; the opening of one special present for Ellie; Christmas day with friends and family. A heartwaming time of year. Loved when Alice busted BnT. Too funny. Still wiping the tears from my eyes. Please continue this brilliant tale soon. Your Loyal Fan.
Thanks for the update. I can’t believe how well Ellie is taking all of this. I guess she’s a well adjusted kid from having a lot of support from her parents as she grew up. It would be a little difficult having both of your parents sleeping with their new partners under the same roof….
Amazing Chapter!!! You did a great job bring everyone together. I think the way you have writen Joe is very good. Thank you PPS
What a excellent update. Love this story. Thank you :)
