"Why should I listen?" Amber asked him. "Why? Give me one good reason." She asked him. "Because I love you," Amber looked down. "And you love me." She looked up at him. Her lips trembled. "That's two," Howie smiled and leaned into kiss her. Amber snapped back into reality. "No, god, how could you just do this? Don't you have feelings?" "I have feelings." Howie said dumbfounded. - - - - - Everything's different / but nothing has changed Are we going in circles / it's Christmas again Can't you hear the sleigh bells ring? / All our voices unite And look up to the Heavens / see the stars shining bright - - - - - "Jeni? Oh, Jeni?" AJ sung as he tip-toed down the hall, guiding his way through the darkness by the only light on in the house, their bedroom. "Come out, come out... come?" AJ said to himself. "Come to me baby, come, come," he sung in his raspy voice. AJ got to the door of their bedroom, and stopped hearing voices. "Yes... I love you, too. And yes, I really miss you, too. I can't wait to see you either. Okay, Bye Bye" Jeni hung up the phone. The door creaked causing her to jump. "Hey Baby," she said to AJ as he walked in their bedroom. "What's wrong?" She asked him noticing his face and skin color had turned white. - - - - - Everybody needs a little lovin around Christmas time Somehow you got to know you're going to be alright Do you remember how it used to be? / Sitting under the Christmas tree?

She asked. Brian's anger red face lost its color. "Where were you?" He asked in his usual country accent. "Over there," She pointed towards the pond. "I was feeding the ducks," She smiled. - - - - - We've been blessed by the children / Black, yellow and white They belive in the things we try to deny So throw down your weapons but continue to fight And let's love one another on this Holy Night - - - - - "Nick, why must we go here?" Nicole asked him. Nick looked at her. "What?" He asked. "I thought you liked McDonald's?" Nick pulled into the parking lot. "I do, but that's not why I'm mad!" She shouted. "Then why are you mad?" He asked her. "Is it cuz of me? Did I do something?" He asked worried. "No, it isn't you. But you act so stupid sometimes." She said anger rose in her voice. "What?" Nick barked. "You know junk food isn't good for the baby!" She shouted at him. "Baby?" Nick asked, partly in shock. - - - - - Everybody needs a little lovin around Christmas time Somehow you got to know you're going to be alright Do you remember how it used to be? / Sitting under the Christmas tree?

"Liz, what are you doing?" He asked her. Kevin watched her pack her suitcase. "Tell me why," He damanded. Liz looked at him, tears buring her eyes. Her dark hair covered the red hand print he had just given her. "I think you know why," she gritted through her teeth. Kevin swallowed. "Liz, I'm sorry, Alright. What more do you want?" He asked her in anger. "Tell me why", she asked. "I have never done anything to you. And you... You come home drunk!" She shouted. "And now you want me to tell you why?" She zipped her suitcase. "It's just that work and the pressure..." She stared at him. "It was a mistake. I'm sorry." He pleaded with her. "How can I believe you?" She asked him. - - - - - Oh reach down inside your heart / and see all the love Oh in your heart / you'll find the reason - - - - - "I'm sorry, Howie", Amber said. "Let's not ever fight again." She wrapped her arms around him. "Never ever". Howie asured her. - - - - - "Who was that?" AJ demanded. Jeni smiled. "That was my brother. He's coming home to mom's for Christmas. We're really excited. I haven't seen him in years!" She giggled. Tears poured out of AJ's eyes. "What's wrong?" "I thought...." Jeni quickly caught on. She wrappped her arms around him in a warm hug. "Don't ever think that. It will never happen." She asured him. - - - - - "Brian, why are you sweating?" Kate asked. "I... couldn't... find... you..." He studdered. "Shh... I'm right here."

Kevin shouted, quickly he put his hands on his head trying to stop his throbbing headache. "'You stupid cock sucking whore'..." Elizabeth repeated his words from the previous night. "Oh man," Kevin whined. "I said that?" "Every word." She said, talking through her teeth. "Oh, god Liz. I'm sorry. It was the alchol, not me. You know I don't talk like that." Kevin reasurred her.
