Episode 641: It's Christmas Time Again

Michael opened the door, surprised and worried by whom she found on the other side. "You’re Paul, aren’t you? Lucy’s friend? Is everything okay with her?"

They hadn’t heard from their daughter’s biological mother in so long. Michael cared about the girl and had decided to stop pushing her to keep in touch, but now she wished she hadn’t accepted Lucy’s decision to distance herself. "Please tell me what I can do to help. I’ll do anything." Lucy had done so much for her, given her a daughter.

Paul swiped a gloved hand over his face. Mrs. Gable really was a nice lady. He hated to deceive her, but it didn’t stop him. "Lucy asked me if I would drop this by." He waved the box in his hand, a doll he’d spent hours shopping for, and another hour wrapping in a fashion he hoped would light up his little girl’s eyes. "May I give this to Hope?"

"Hey, Mom and Dad, just wanted to let know I’ll be there fro Christmas dinner, I mean, if it’s still on, you two have a tendency to…"

Katherine frowned at her husband as they listened to their youngest child’s voice fade on the answering machine in full jolly force.

"Anyways, I have a couple auditions lined up; I can’t wait to tell you about them. See you."

"I can’t believe you backed this career of hers," Katherine barked at Phillip. "Now I have to worry about how she’ll be treated in that seedy industry. As if I haven’t been stressed enough breaking in a new assistant during such a busy time of year."

Phillip shook his head. "You know I get you trying to make Sebastian happy by offering his friend employment, but I don’t know, Kath, there’s something about that Lila, I wouldn’t trust her as far as I could throw her."

"Helpful, Phillip."

It was Christmas Eve, the boys were finally sound asleep and Lila couldn’t wait until morning. She couldn’t wait to see the look on Bowie’s face when he opened his present. However, when she finally cajoled him into an early gift exchange, his reaction wasn’t what she’d hoped for.

"This watch is way too expensive." He looked at her with worried eyes.

"It’s not what you think, I’m not being all shallow again," Lila insisted, only to frown. "I guess I am being kind of shallow, but with good intentions. I’ve got this well paying job now, and I can buy you something nice for once. I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me, how much I appreciate the way you’ve forgiven me, and been there for me, no matter how many mistakes I’ve made. I didn’t know how else to say it."

"The words work just fine," Bowie replied with a smile and a kiss for her.
