(AUTHOR'S NOTE: SORRY IF IT TOOK TOO LONG TO FINISH THIS, OUTSIDE LIFE HAS BEEN A THING PLUS I HAD A HARD TIME COMING UP WITH A GOOD FINAL PART HAHA
ANYWAYS, ENJOY :3)
Winter time arrived in Parfaedia, it was almost time for the holiday parties and inside the Nut Cookie household things seemed to start already. Almond had already things done to greet his guests as he was also dressed in a cozy brown jacket with a pastel brown shirt and a dark green tie; all he had left to do was to finish changing his daughter
"There we go kiddo, nice and clean"-he said as he placed the last tab of the baby's diaper, Walnut looked at him giggling as she placed her foot in her mouth covering it in drool. Then, the young detective pulled a festive looking outfit for her and struggled a bit to put her into it
"Stay still, our guests are almost here"-he cooed her as he finished to put the baby in a plaid velvet dress with white frosting frills, white glaze lace gloves and socks and a pair of chocolate shoes
"Well, you sure look pretty sweetie. Like a little angel"-Almond said as he picked her up and started to cover her in kisses as she squealed and giggled in response before the bell rang
"Oh, that must be them, wanna say 'hi' them, Wally?"-he asked her, she giggled clapped as response which he took as a yes from her part, the young detective carried her to the door as he soon greeted his friends and colleges from work and his partner's friends too
"ALMOND! BUDDY! Happy Holidays to you and to you too, little missy"-Cronut said bursting through the door as he greeted the young detective and poke on the baby's nonexistent nose making her giggle louder
"Hey, Cronut!"-Almond said to him as more and more cookies arrived at his home
"Well, well, well! Look at this place. You outdone with the decor, Alms"-Mascabado said as she entered the house
"Hhm, you have a good taste. Who knew?"-a white fluffy haired cookie said with a bit of a stuck up tone which make the detective rolled his eyes a bit
"Marshmallow Fluff! Please, we came here to celebrate the holidays, no criticize how our friend's boyfriend decorated"-another cookie with sprinkles on his blonde frosting hair said as he entered which made Marshmallow groan a bit while chuckling
"You know I'm teasing you, Almond"-she said
"I know, I know; please feel free to help yourselves with the food"-the detective said as he pointed at the food and snacks he made
And all chatted about whats been happening in their lives, about the baby and memories when they were little; it was a good time for the group. Meanwhile, Walnut was crawling around and eyeing everything she set her sight into, also she was having fun being held by her dad's and mom's friends while having her tummy tickled or complimented on her cute outfit
After a while, she was getting a bit fussy until her dad pulled out what looked like shiny box and all the guests gathered around the holiday tree, she followed everyone as she saw her dad pulling out a porcelain cookie angel with a silver dress and a pair of sugar glass wings
"I'm not a fan of holiday traditions, but I guessed that now that we are gather here I might start one myself...starting with putting the tree top decor" and before he could put it, he felt Walnut's hand pulling on his pant leg and whining, trying to reach for the figurine
All awed at that before Marshmallow Fluff said-"Look at her, she wants to put it herself..."while the baby kept protesting and was sobbing a little
"Wanna put the little angel on the tree, my little angel?"-Almond said to Walnut as she awed at the small cookie angel figurine, she cooed in response as she was quickly picked up and rose her up unto the top of the tree and her dad guide her to put the angel on which made the baby gasp once she put it and clapped in excitement at her achievement
All the adults awed at that action as Mascabado took a quick picture of the scene
-"That is a keeper!"-they told Cronut as they took a look and smiled softly. They all opened their gifts, and had a good laugh while guessing who got whose present
"And we saved the best for last"-Cronut said as everyone pulled a large box and handed it to Almond and Walnut; who was having her bottle already, the young detective was in awe and surprised
"Guys, you didn't had to..."
"We did and you deserved it. Its from all of us to you and the little one"-they said as they all looked grateful for all the things he has done for them and viceversa
After he pulled on the bow, he gasped and there was a framed picture of all the friends smiling during one of their visits at the beach at the outskirts of the magic city, Almond couldn't helped but to tear up and all hugged him as a large family they formed
One strange, but loving family they become
