"what do you wanna do today?" I asked Evelyn who layed on the sofa with her head on my thigh

"I don't know" she sighed

"It's boring with him isn't it?" I said

"yup! It is! Can't he come early?" She asked

"Don't know baby, ask him" I said as I took my phone out and faced time him

"hey daddy" Evelyn said

"hi baby, how are you doing?" Alex asked

"We miss you" Evelyn said

"We?" Alex said confusedly

"Me and mommy" she said with a smirk

"Hey! I didn't say anything" i said

"She said it's boring without you that means she misses you" Evelyn said

"I miss you too" he said with a smile "I mean, I miss you both, I'll be back soon I promise"

"daddy! One more week is too long" Evelyn said with a pout

"I'm sorry babygirl, it's work and I need to do it, do you wanna go see grandpa Aaron? Or uncle Ethan? You guys can go skating" he said

"No, I want to go skating with you! And Christmas is coming and you won't be here! And it's my first Christmas with you in my life!" Evelyn said

"Baby, daddy has work and you're making him feel bad, we're gonna spend it with your grandpa, uncles, aunt and Soph" I said

"baby I need to go alright? I'll take to you later! I miss you so much" Alex said

"I miss you too daddy" she said with a pout

"Becca, take care of yourselfs and be carful because the whole world knows about you guys now so I sent some people to look after you whenever you go outside, alright?" Alex said

"okay and you too, take care of yourself and good luck" I said

"Bye guys" he said as he blew us a kiss

"Bye daddy" Evelyn said

"Bye Alex" I said as he closed the call

"Guess Christmas will be the same but with grandpa and uncle Ethan" Evelyn said

"No baby, look everything changed now and I know your father, he'll sent you gifts and plus you know how your grandpa like spoiling you plus we're getting a large Christmas tree and we're decorating it" I said

"but if daddy was here, it would've been different" she said

"Evelyn baby, let's just watch a movie together and have some hot chocolate" I said with a sigh as cuddled before playing the movie

"Eve!" Aaron said as he entered the house

"Papa!" Evelyn said as she threw her toy and ran to him hugging him

"How's my fav person doing?" Aaron Asked

"Great since everyone is here!" Evelyn said

"Hey Becca" aaron said giving me a hug before saying hi to the rest

The house door opened again before a familiar guy entered the house

"Bro! What are you doing here!" Ethan said before they both hugged

"evelyn since your father isn't here, I though I'd bring you someone who'd love you so much but not as much as your father loves you Ofcourse"

"BRANDON?" I gasped as I recognized him

"Hey Becs!" Brandon said before we hugged

"How have you been! It's been so long since I've heard about you" he asked

"Life has been going great and I didn't even remember that you exist" I said

"Ouch that hurt" he said

"Ma, who is this?" Evelyn asked

"baby, this is your uncle, Brandon, he's your fathers brother" I said

"Really?" Evelyn asked

"hello beautiful, I'm Brandon" he said

"And I'm Evelyn" she said

"You know I heard quite A lot about you, good things" he said

"Did daddy talk about me?" She asked

"Yup and he loves you a lot" Brandon said

"Brandon, these are my family, Nathan, Katie and their daughter Sophie" I said

"Nice too meet you "Nate said

"Nice to meet you too, i heard about you guys.
I got the chance to come here and since Alex isn't here so I though why not see my niece!" Brandon said "and guess what! I've got you, Sophie and I, matching Christmas pajamas" Brandon said

"Awh cute" Katie said

"Thankyou!" Both Soph and Evelyn said

"This isn't fair, whenever we tell you to come, you say work work and now for your niece, you take the first plane and fly here?" Ethan said

"Bro, I have a niece! Alex has a daughter, this is big news bro, I had to meet them" Brandon said "I never thought he'd have one"

soon enough everyone gathered up together to design the large Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, and by midnight, the gifts were all set down by the tree
