Angie's P.O.V

"Angie, Darling , can you please go get Rachel from her nap?" Mom asked. "Yeah sure." I said. I walk upstairs to my younger sister's room and pick her up. "Good evening Rachel." I said to my 2 year old sister. She let out a whine and I brought her down to the kitchen.

I put her in her high-chair next to William. Hi. My name is Angie but you wouldn't know it. Unless you listen to my older brother he's a poet. Okay, well my name is Angelica after my aunt but I just go by Angie. I sit down next to AJ who was just staring of into space. "Hey AJ." I said, seeming to catch him off guard.

"Oh hey Angie." H e said. "Got a girl on your mind?" I teased. "What?! No!" He said, alarm in his voice. Well, that answered my question. A big fat juicy yes. I hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. I had practically spent all night talking to my boyfriend, Georges.

He's off in college with my brother , Philip , and cousin , Frances. Philip told me he met two girls. One named Susan and the other named Theo. I walked into the hall when two boys ran past me. 

"Give it back!" Johnny whined. "Nope!" James said and began running. I rolled my eyes. Since Philip was off in college it was my job to be the stern older sibling. I ran after them and grabbed James' arm. "James, give it back right now!" I scolded.

First I saw what he was holding. It was Johnny's video game controller. "Nope! You can't tell me what to do Angie!" He yelled. "God dammit James! Your 13! Your more mature then this!" I yelled.

"God...dammit?" Johnny asked. Shit. I had just swore in front of my little brother. Mom turned her attention away from William and Rachel and came out into the hall. "John Church Hamilton! Do not repeat what your sister says!" She scolded. "Angie, sweetheart. Try not to swear in front of your younger siblings."

"Yeah Angie. Don't swear in front of your younger siblings." James said. "I'm going to kill you James." I said. With that, mom went back into the kitchen. James was still distracted so I grabbed the controller so I could give it back to Johnny.

"Angie what the fuck?! Give it back you piece of shit!" He yelled and mom came right out of the kitchen. "James Alexander Hamilton! Go to your room!" She yelled. Mom almost never yells so when she does, you know shes pissed.

"But mom-" James began to say, but was cut off. "Right. Now. James." Mom said. He groaned and you could practically hear his eye roll. "Don't give me attitude young man!" Mom continued.

"Okay! Fine, i'm going up to my room." He said. It was oddly liberating to watch him go up to his room , hunched over in defeat.

"Alright, here you go Johnny." I said, handing the controller back to him. "Yaay! Thanks Angie!" He said. "No problem buddy! By the way, since James is grounded, would you like your big sis to be your player two?" I proposed. He nodded enthusiastically and pulled me up to his room.

A few minutes later mom came upstairs with Rachel in her arms. William ran up to Johnny and sat next to him. Mom put Rachel in my lap and her tiny toddler hands began pulling my hair. Mom looked very excited. Mom called everyone into Johnny's room. 

"Eliza, you seem rather excited." My dad laughed. Wow, its my dad. For the most part he is doing work but he also spoils me and my siblings rotten. After all my siblings were sitting in a little thing on the floor mom told us all why she was so excited. "Alexander , Angie , boys! Listen up. Philip, Georges and Frances are going to be here tomorrow!" My mom exclaimed.

I let out a scream of excitement. Yes my boyfriend and favorite cousin are gonna be coming back! Oh and, my favorite brother. "That's great. How did you find out?"  My dad asked. "I just got off the phone with Philip!" Mom said. 

Tomorrow was Christmas eve! I couldn't wait to see the three of them! "Yay Philip is gonna be back!" William and Johnny exclaimed at the same time. 

Philip's P.O.V

I had just told mom that by tomorrow me , Georges and Frances were gonna be back by tomorrow. "Hey guys. Wanna head over to Theo's place?" I asked. They both nodded and we headed to her apartment.

We opened the door without knocking. We knew it was disrespectful but we still did it anyways. Then we heard Theo singing.

"Dear Theodosia, what to say to you? You have my eyes, you have your mothers name. When you came into the world you cried and it broke my heart. I'm dedicating everyday to you. Domestic life was never quite my style. When you smile, you knock me out I fall apart and I thought I was so smart." She sang.

it was beautiful and there was more to come.

"You will come of age with our young nation. We'll bleed and fight for you. We'll make it right for you. If we lay a strong enough foundation, we'll pass it onto you. We'll give the world to you and you'll blow us all away someday, someday. Yeah you'll blow us all away someday, someday. My father wasn't around, I swear that i''ll be around for you. I'll make a million mistakes. I'll make the world safe and sound for you." She continued.

Then she stopped. I began clapping and she turned around in alarm. "Oh Philip! How..how much did you hear?" She asked. "All of it. Was that a lullaby?" I asked. She nodded. "My dad would always sing it to me right before I went to bed. Even when I was a teen. So its just really sentimental to me." 

"Yeah, I have a lullaby that my dad would sing to me." I said. "Can you sing it?" Theo asked. I shook my head. "Maybe another time." I said, looking back at Frances and Georges. Theo laughed.

"So are you excited to go back to you dad for Christmas?" I asked. "Oh..I'm not going back for Christmas. I didn't last year. I need to work. My boss always tells me to take off Christmas but I need to work." She responded.

"Theo, are you crazy? You should take off!" I said. "We're leaving to head back to our parents tomorrow. We can always take you to you place." 

"Your serious? Well...alright...I'll pack a few things. I'll tell my boss i'm taking X-mas off." She said. "Great! We can't wait." Frances said. 

Me , Georges and Frances all left. Not to long later I got a text from Theo.

Theo : Alright my boss knows i'm gonna be taking work off

Theo : What time are we leaving?

Philip : About 7 : 30 pm

Theo : Ok, see you then.

Great. I'm making Christmas better for this girl!
