Leslie and some of his friends from work were all sitting down in front of the tv with cups of cocoa in their hands taking small sips from it as the fire-place in the background was burning to let out a cloud of wrath through the once cold house on this cold November day.

Leslie turned his head as he watched the snow and rain down, hitting the windows as well as small little balls and chips of ice making an hourglass medium sound as they clicked against the windows.

"It's coming down hard isn't it" Daveed muttered as he put down his cup and stuck his hands into the pockets of his sweater as he felt someone rest their head against his shoulder. He looked over towards his right to see that it was Emmy who was stretching her legs out from sitting in the same position for a little too long.

Daveed smiled as he kissed her head smiling wrapping an arm around her shoulder looking up to see Nicolette and Christopher walk out of the kitchen laughing with each other as Christopher was carrying Cookies on a plate while Nicolette rubbed her 8 monthly old babies bumped.

"We have cookies," Chris said cheerily as he sat them down in the center of the table before sitting down on the couch. Nicolette walked over towards Leslie as she struggled to sit down on the couch next to him. Her stomach getting in the way "I do not like being pregnant all that much" She says as Leslie helped her get down towards the couch.

"How many months are you in so far??" Philippa asked grabbing a cookie from the table and biting down. She sighed as she took a sip of her water while rubbing her belly and smiled softly "8 months in, The little guy has been kicking me all night and dad every time he hears his father's voice or just in general" She said humming.

Like it was a clue for the unborn baby to wake up and get fussy. He started to kick at His mother's stomach hard. "Ah Ohh.." She groaned as she rubbed her belly, shushing the baby growing inside of her.

"I'm sure he's going to be a football player the way he's kicking," She said trying to get comfortable.

Leslie chuckled as he kissed his wife cheek "hmm, You may never know he might take after his parents" He said glancing behind him to see Jasmine sitting at the window sighing.

"What's wrong with Jasmine," Ashley said as she was laying her head in Oak lap while he gently stroked her hair.

Jasmine was sitting there in a cream-colored sweater with a reindeer on it and black leggings as she looked outside the window while checking her phone constantly. Her face had the words worried written there.

"She's waiting for Anthony," Emmy said as she shifted her position again, this time sitting on Daveed's lap. "He said that he would be running a little late due to the icy roads, I hope nothing bad happened" She muttered uneasily.

"Where is he??" Jasmine muttered under her breath as she looked outside looking for Anthony's red car. She bites her lip.

"Jasmine why don't you come over and sit down with us. Have a cookie, They fresh and delicious" Oak said smiling at her.

"I'm sure Ant will be fine," Daveed said as he looked at her with a small smile. Jasmine signed as she looked back at them before getting up and sitting next to Oak.

"Sad that others couldn't really make it today because of the snow" Leslie muttered as he turned on the radio, Christmas music started to play.

Nicolette turned on the tv as she snuggled up to her husband's with a small smile on her face as she looked around to see everyone just having fun and enjoying themselves.

This time is supposed to be a time of joy and spending time with loved ones as well as friends. Not a time for the unexpected and distress.

Everyone was having fun while singing along to Leslie's song "Snow" that they didn't hear the Tv turning on mysteriously and the volume was up to drown out the voice of Leslie as everyone looked at the newscast that appeared.

~Breaking news~

"A crash here on West South Street on Central 980 has just occurred. The suspect of the car appeared to be driving a red Mercedes Benz and has crashed here on the side of the road. Apparently, the driver has lost control of the wheel and has suddenly crashed into a tree.

We will bring you more news about the crash later today" The news reporter said

"Wow. That crash site looks brutal as hell" Ashely said as they showed them the site of the red car that crashed into a tree. The windows other vehicles crashed in as well as a branch being stuck in the middle of the car on the driver seat.

"That's horrible," Chris said softly " Whoever got in the crash I hope they're alright," He said

Daveed looked back at the tv as he squinted his eyes a little "That looks a lot like Anthony's car doesn't it"

Just by the mere mention of Anthony Jasmine had immediately snapped up and looked for that TV.

Jasmine sat up medially Immediately

looking as alert as ever. "T-that is Anthony's car...." she said in shaking fear.

"What!?" Everyone yelled out looking at her and back at the tv in shock, mouths slightly dropped.

"We just got the news that the car's model was a Mercedes-Benz... And the person who was in the accident was...." The newscaster said.

It felt like everything was in slow motion, It felt like the newscaster's lips were forming words in slow motion. Jasmine felt tears run down her face, the room felt cold as ice as the words of the person's name who was in the accident just made everyone's heartbreak in half in sadness.

It was like pain washed over them all.

"Anthony Ramos Martinez," The newscaster said, looking down getting the report from her phone.

"A-Anthony" Emmy said covering her mouth as tears formed in her eyes.

In red the words appeared: American Actor/Star Singer Anthony Ramos Martinez found dead at local car crash scene.

The room fell in pitch Silence as they sat there watching the news hearing the fact that their friend was found dead.

Jasmine looked at the tv and covered her eyes before uncovering them and started to shake her head before letting out a loud scream as she hugged herself while shaking.

Emmy reached over and hugged the crying woman while rubbing her back in circles. Everyone felt tears form in their eyes as they all started to cry holding one another on the horrible terribly cold November night.

"This is supposed to be the time of happiness and cheer. But what happens when that time is cheer is replaced by planning the death of a loved one"
