Christmas In A Different Perspective Part 2
"Hey Olive, hi Mr. Stone." Georgie says hugging Olive and putting her hand out for the grandfather of her niece to shake. When something she least expected happened. He hugged her. Georgie immediately tried not to tense and panic at the touch and just took a deep breath hesitantly hugging back.
" Call me Steve, you're raising my granddaughter there is no need for formalities dear." Steve says calmly as Georgie looks at him nervously than to Olive who nods.
"Yes, of course, it's so good to see the both of you. I'm sorry this place isn't decorated. I didn't know you guys were coming… otherwise I would have decorated the house some or at least made sure it was clean." Georgie rambles as Olive just chuckles.
"Miss Georgie, it's fine we know you and Drea are busy. Plus we want to decorate with you guys Olive says putting her bag down as Georgie nods.
"Of course, but tomorrow it's pretty late already and it's nearing Eden's bedtime. If you guys don't mind." Georgie says looking at Steve and then Eden.
"Aunt Georgie I no wanna go to bed Grandpa is here!" Eden argues as the grandfather smiles at the five year old. Who wanted to spend more time with him.
"Now Eden, you need to listen to your aunt. It is late. I'll tell you what, you and I will spend the whole day together tomorrow, but you need to go to sleep first." Steve says as Eden nods.
"Okay! Come on, Aunt Georgie read me a bedtime story! Eden tells out grabbing Georgie's hand as she takes off for the stairs Georgie just looks at them before following.
"I'll be back eventually." Georgie says making Olive chuckle watching her babysitter follow her little sister as she went to sit on the couch where Drea was working on her computer.
"Hey Drea what you working on Olive asks sitting down beside Drea. "Just Christmas shopping. Since we're being targeted it easier for me order online and just quickly pick it up at the store is faster and safer." Drea says Olive sneaks a peek seeing unicorn toys. "I see Eden is still in love with unicorns huh." Olive asks as Drea laughs and rolls her eyes.
"Not just love, she is obsessed with those mythical creatures. She doesn't seem interested in much else really. You should see all the unicorn toys she has I'm trying to find one we haven't gotten her yet. That girl is spoiled by me and Georgie." Drea admits as Olive smiles.
"I'm sure she deserves it. Georgie use to spoil me too, but that was of course back when she had a job to get some money from. Georgie was most definitely cooler than Aunt Mic." Olive says with a laugh as Georgie walks back down the stairs.
"What are you guys talking about?" Georgie asks playfully as Drea glances her way.
"About how much we spoil Eden, and how much you love her." Drea says slyly as Georgie rolls her eyes playfully.
"What, that is not true at all. I don't like little kids and Eden's definitely isn't spoiled! " Georgie says in a playful tone making sure everyone knew she was just joking.
"So how are you guys doing? Anything crazy happens while we were gone?" Olive asks as Georgie and Olive look at each other. If only they knew.
"Well our car almost got blown up, and we earned a few small scars thankfully nothing else has happened. We're just still searching for an answer now." Georgie says as Drea nods.
"That's good and I'm glad Eden is doing great my family chose an amazing person to take care of her. I'm honestly glad you came into our lives when you did. Because I'm a bit old to be taking care of a small child. Plus Ben and Michaela were terrors they were always fighting since they were only three years apart.
"Grandpa, tell Georgie and Drea the story of when Auntie Mic and Dad fought over the last Christmas present." Olive says as the grandpa chuckles as both Drea and Georgie look at Steve with interest.
"Well they were twelve and nine at the time, and we were opening presents and there was one with both of their names on it, it was a puppy. Eventually Michaela got to open it, but the poor puppy hated them after that day. What about you two funny Christmas stories." He asks, Georgie and Drea just shake their heads. Drea's family was very strict and Christmas was never really much fun, and Georgie's family never really cared about it.
"Not really my family… never really celebrated it. I knew it existed, but again we just never did much of anything for it." Georgie says Drea just nods.
"My family was very strict. So Christmas wasn't very fun." Drea says .
"Oh well, that's okay you're both making Christmas memories now." Steve says as Georgie and Drea nod. Eden had definitely changed their ideas of Christmas, and it had really been fun despite the dire circumstances .
"That's right. I still needed to finish Christmas shopping sometime though it's been hectic lately. Georgie says as Steve and Olive nod.
"I better retire Ol, don't stay up too late, and I'm talking to all of you when I say that." Steve says going to one of the other guest rooms and leaves the three girls alone.
"Hey G, what do you think about this toy for Eden? " Drea asks, pulling up a unicorn rideable toy. Georgie just smiles; she knew Eden would absolutely love this.
"You and I both know she will love this. That's when Georgie's phone started ringing and she quickly checked the number. "Um, I'm going to head up to bed with Eden. I know I'll be up early. Goodnight you two she says walking up the stairs, and answering the phone. "Hey TJ, what's up?" Georgie asks quietly, closing the bedroom door for she and Olive's boyfriend could talk in private.
