"Morning you guys."

"Merry Christmas."

"Mary did you know?,
That your baby boy,
would one day walk on water,
Mary did you know?,
That your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?"

EVERYONE TURNED TO GABRIELLA WITH WIDE EYES.

"What the heck kind of a cliffhanger was that?" Rossi demanded.

"I'm sorry but I need to keep y'all on your toes." Gabby smiled as she shrugged.

"Play the next episode!" The Santiago family all demanded.

Gabriella rolled her eyes fondly but none the less the screen began to light up with the next episode.

THE SCREEN WAS QUICK TO LIGHT UP AND WE SEE A VIEW OF ASAKHE'S MANSION BEFORE IT CHANGES TO SHOW AN UNCONSCIOUS HADES LYING ON THE BED IN ONE OF THE GUEST ROOMS.

"So is everyone in the Morgan family just this good looking or...." Madelyn trailed off.

"I can't lie, I'm wondering the same thing." Izzy nodded in agreement with her sister.

"We appreciate the compliment." Hades and Asa smiled.

The door opens and we see Alec and Brina enter inside the room where the rest of the Morgan family were now occupying.

"Morning you guys." Brina greeted.

"Merry Christmas." Alec smiled shrugging making the family laugh softly.

"Merry Christmas." Asa told her fiancé and parabatai.

"I still can't believe Hades is back." Sabrina spoke softly as she and Alec took a seat either side of Asakhe.

"Me neither." Asa added resting her head on Alec's shoulder, the Lightwood wrapping an arm around her in response.

Suddenly a groan was heard and everyone snapped their heads to the bed where Hades had begun to shift.

"WAKE UP LOSER!" Asa exclaimed as she rushed up from her seat and flopped onto the bed, landing on top of her elder brother.

Everyone else gasped in shock whilst Hades groaned in both annoyance and slight pain.

Meanwhile whilst some of the others also gasped, the pack laughed expecting nothing less from Asakhe.

The said girl cackled at her own antics from where the core four were still on the floor, only this time the boys were leant against their respective seats with Asakhe in Alec's arms and Brina in Hades arms.

The eldest Morgan sibling on the other hand rolled his eyes expecting nothing less from his little and only sister.

AFTER REUNTING AND CATCHING UP WITH HADES, THE CORE FOUR HAD GONE TO GET READY AND NOW FOUND THEMSELVES WALKING UP THE STAIRS TO THE CARRINGTON MANOR.

Alec opened the door and the four froze as they spotted Fallon, Cristal, Sam and Blake all waiting by the door.

"You're joking." Sam stated, wanting nothing more than for his mother to arrive already.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I almost forgot your mom was coming!" Asa exclaimed.

"Wait, what?!" Sam exclaimed in shock, after all it had been roughly 6 plus years since he last saw his mother in person.

"Hades?" Fallon questioned in shock.

"What's good Fal pal?" Hades chuckled as the door closed behind the four.

Fallon rushed towards the Morgan boy and hugged him tightly, more than happy to see him again.

"Christmas miracles, really do happen." Fallon breathed out.

The two pulled away and the core four moved to join the welcome wagon that had been formed.

"Guys this is so creepy." Asa spoke up through her giggles.

"We're literally just standing here in front of the door like a bunch of weirdos." Asa laughed just as the door opened only to reveal Anders.

"Are you kidding me?" Sam questioned.

"I'm sorry to disappoint but I believe this is who you're waiting for." Anders spoke before gesturing outside only for a Latina woman to make her way through the door.

"Feliz Navidad (Merry Christmas)"She greeted with a wide smile.

"I wanna wish you a merry Christmas." The core four mumbled to themselves in sing song voices.

"Mami." Sam greeted his mother with a wide smile as he immediately rushed towards her giving her a hug.

Eventually the mother and son pulled away from each other and Iris gestured for her younger sister to give her hug as well to which Cristal immediately caved in and rushed towards her sister and gave her a hug.

"So this is where you live huh?" Iris questioned as she spoke English.

"Well the ride up the driveway was longer than my flight." Iris spoke.

"It does feel that way the first time you see the manor same with Asa's." Simon nodded.

"And who puts a pool next to a lake?" Iris questioned.

"This guy." Sam, Asa, Alec, Brina and Hades spoke together as they all pointed towards Blake.

"Hi, I'm—" Blake began to introduce himself as he moved to shake Iris's hand.

"Irrelevant." Alec and Simon teased in sync, both of them holding back their snickers when they felt Blake's glare staring at them.

"Blake Carrington." Iris cut him off as she gave him a quick hug.

"Thank you so much for everything." Iris spoke once they pulled away.

"The invitation, those little sandwiches on your fancy plane." Iris listed.

"Mami, this is uh..." Sam trailed off as he gestured to Fallon.

"Fallon, I've heard about you." Iris spoke up as she walked towards the Carrington girl.

"I can only imagine." Fallon stated, trying to mask her distaste.

"Oh." Fallon spoke surprise when Iris immediately hugged her when she was within reach.

"Must be nice having your mom for Christmas." Fallon spoke to Sam over Iris's shoulder.

"Best gift anyone can give is family." Sam spoke once Iris pulled away.

Hades and Asa shared a look and gave each other a smile.

"Yes." Fallon spoke, agreeing with Sam.

"Other than a trust fund and personal space." Fallon deadpanned for Iris.

"Okay, Google, how do I say space in Spanish?" Fallon asked as she spoke into her phone.

Sam rolled his eyes as he moved his mother to face Asakhe.

"You must be Asakhe." Iris smiled.

"Guilty." The Morgan girl smiled and happily accepted the hug that Iris initiated.

"I wanted to say thank you for the Buñuelos, they were absolutely amazing." Iris expressed her gratitude once the two pulled away.

"Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed them, I was hoping to give you even the slightest taste of home and what better way than with dessert." Asa smiled.

"I made quite a lot so they'll definitely be some leftovers if any of you wanted to try them." Asa spoke as she faced the others her gaze landing on her big brother who seemed to be lost in thought, the fear in eyes not going unnoticed by Asa.

Just then Anders approached the group once more.

"If you'll follow me, I've had Mrs Gunnerson prepare and arrange lunch for you." Anders informed.

"Double helpings incase mother eats like son." Anders added.

The group began to walk off only to stop once they heard the door open only to reveal Thomas Carrington himself.

"Ho, ho, ho." The Carrington man greeted.

"Dad?" Blake asked in shock.

"Grandpa?" Fallon questioned in shock as well only she was happy to see her grandfather.

"I come bearing gifts." Thomas spoke before dragging in a very exhausted looking Steven.

"At least Im returning one. It's the thought that counts right?" Thomas spoke.

"Steven." Fallon spoke as she approached her brother and gave him a hug, Asa not that far behind ready to do the same.

"How was New York? Any good meetings?" Blake asked his son once Asa had pulled away from her hug with Steven.

"I'm sure grandpa will fill you in." Steven shrugged before walking off.

The eldest Carrington back tracked when he spotted Hades standing with Brina and Alec.

"Hades?" Steven asked shocked.

"Sup dude?" Hades smiled softly.

The core four along with Steven walked off leaving the others by themselves.

THE SCREEN LIGHTS UP ONCE MORE AND WE SEE CRISTAL, SAM AND IRIS SITTING ON ONE COUCH TOGETHER WITH BLAKE AND THOMAS ON THE ONE OPPOSITE THEM MAKING CONVERSATION.

Suddenly 'let's get Loud' by Jennifer Lopez could be heard followed by the core four who made their way into the living room.

Sabrina and Asa entered doing aerials whilst Hades and Alec entered the room doing back flips.

"Let's get loud!" The core four sang.

"Get up you old white men!" Hades demanded Blake and Thomas.

"Hi grandpa!" Asa greeted Thomas with a bright smile, leaning over the couch and placing a kiss to his cheek making the man chuckle.

"How's my girl?" Thomas questioned.

"Good." Asa sang with a bright smile on her face.

"That goes for you three as well, get up!" Sabrina demanded the three Venezuelans.

"Let's dance!" Alec and Asa cheered.

THE SCENE CHANGES TO WHERE WE SEE EVERYONE GATHERED AROUND IN THE LIVING ROOM.

"Alright everyone, gather around." Thomas spoke and everyone did as asked.

"There are a few things that I insist on during the holiday season." Thomas began.

"But instead of having Steven and Fallon do the usual song with a special from Asakhe, this year we're gonna switch it up a bit." Thomas spoke.

"It's the first Christmas in three years where we've had all of the Morgan family with us." Thomas spoke nostalgically.

The said family all smiled at each other happy to be whole again.

"And considering I don't get to see much of my honorary grandchildren and their friends, I was wondering if they would allow us to have the pleasure of hearing their angelic voices before Steven, Asa and Fallon take over." Thomas spoke as he looked towards Hades, Asa, Alec, Brina and Simon who all stood together.

"Alright." The five shrugged before they made to the piano where Simon sat down.

"Mary did you know?" Asa questioned looking between the other four.

"Mary did you know." The four agreed.

"Let's just get our notes." Simon spoke.

"Hades." Simon before playing the boys note to which he nodded.

"Asa." Simon said before playing the girls note.

"Alec." Simon spoke before the Lightwoods note.

"And Brina." Simon said before playing the Fairchild girls note.

"We good?" Simon questioned receiving nods from the other four.

"Let's do it." Alec nodded.

The group of five soon began humming the introduction to the song before Simon started the song.

(Simon)

Mary did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?

[Alec]

Mary did you know that your baby boy would save our sons and daughters?

"Alec!" Madelyn exclaimed in shock, her jaw dropping as she heard her brothers voice.

"Right?!" Asa exclaimed in agreement as she raised her arm to show the goosebumps that were trailing all over her arm.

(Simon and Alec)

Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?

"What the hell?!" Izzy exclaimed in shock at how amazingly Simon and Alec's voices blended together.

"I know, I know!" Asa exclaimed in awe.

[Hades]

This child that you deliver, will soon deliver you.

"Hades." Alec and Asa cheered for the eldest Morgan.

{Asakhe}

Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?

"Asakhe." Izzy and Madelyn gasped in awe as if they hadn't heard Asa sing a few episodes earlier.

"Right?!" Alec and Sabrina agreed.

{Sabrina}

Mary did you know that your baby boy will the calm the storm with his hand.

"Sabrina." Alec and Asa hyped the Fairchild girl up.

[Sabrina, Asa and Simon]

Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?

"Are you joking?" Everest spoke, completely blown away.

(Hades)

When you kiss your little baby, you kiss the face of God.

{Asakhe (Simon)}

Mary did you know (Mary, did you know)
Mary did you know (Did you know)
Mary did you know (Mary, did you know)
(Mary did you know), (Mary did you know)
(Mary did you know)
Mary did you know.

"Shut up!" The Mikaelson's exclaimed in awe at how well Asa and Simon's voice worked together.

[Alec {Brina and
