It was the day of the Christmas get together and everyone in the Dumont house hold were getting ready. The two friends were the most excited out of the 6, Josie as usual was excited to see Courtney but Melaina on the other hand had planned a suprise for her best friend.

The only ones who knew about her plans were Pat, herself and Barbara.

It had been a few days since Josie and Courtney had seen eachother. The two girls both knew and could feel the tension between them but they decided to keep it casual until the time was right.

Over the past couple weeks, the JSA had been doing daily training sessions. Diana and Donna would come and teach the kids something every now and then.

Diana, Eddie and Donna had been discussing on weather to take the the girls to Themyscria the weekend before in a few days. Since it was safe for Diana to be in town, they all knew that it was time for the Dumont children to meet their grandmother. While there maybe Melaina could learn a few things.

As well as training, Melaina had been forming a bond with her teammates. She had noticed that she wasn't the only one acting weird. Yolanda hadn't been acting like herself for quite sometime.

Recently Diana and Eddie had a reunion with their old teammates. It had been almost 20 years since they had all been together. Bruce, Vic and their late teammates wives, Lois Lane and Joan William's, the wives of the late Clark Kent and Jay Garrick.

The group of people had come to Blue Valley a few weeks after everything had happened and had stayed a few days. They former Superheroes had family's they had been taking care of and were still helping people, just without a mask. They had brought their children to meet new people and it was a bigger success than expected.

✦✧✦✧

Everyone who was currently at the Whitemore household could smell the delicious fresh baked cookies in the air. Everyone was spread out across the home talking, laughing, enjoying eachothers company.

Courtney and Josie were together by the hip throughout the day, wherever Courtney went, the blonde was sure to drag her with. Melaina and Hippolyta were helping Beth with decorating the cookies. Yolanda and Rick were at the snack table. Mike and Hestia were serving some food. While the rest of the adults, Diana, Lisa, Donna, Barbara and Eddie talked and caught up.

Courtney then told Josie to get some snacks while she went upstairs to get her present for Pat. Josie came around the corner to see Pat and Courtney hugging as the brunette stood next to Barbara, both smiling at the interaction.

✦✧✦✧

Everyone had finished eating and had now went to the living room and stood infront of the Christmas tree surrounded by presents. They all huddled together in a group so that they were seen by the Polaroid camera that stood on a tripod as Mike prepared it.

"Alright Whitemore-Dugans let's do this." Mike said before flipping the timer and rushing to the group and moved to his position before the camera clicked and caught the smiles of everyone in the room.

They then all dispersed around the house and continued enjoying the day.

"Hey Jose can you come help me look for something?" Courtney asked the brunette as she pulled Josie out of her conversation with Melaina and Hippolyta.

Melaina was happy that Josie had found someone but she was surprised to that it took her this long to realize that her and Josie were slowly drifting apart.

Courtney dragged the brunette up the stairs with their fingers intertwined. They reached her room and Courtney closed the door behind them. Josie then sat down on her bed.

"So what do you need help with?" Josie asked before Courtney gave reached for her with her hand and Josie took it Courtney pulled her to her feet.

"Okay stand right her." Courtney said as she positioned the brunette before standing in front of her as she fiddled with her fingers.

"I know you already gave me my present and I gave you mine so... what's going on?"

"Okay here goes... deep breaths Court." Courtney said to herself.

"Ooo something's happening..." Henry chirped as his spirit sat on Courtney's bed watching eagerly.

"I've never done this before but... I like you. Like...I like you... like you. A lot." Courtney stuttered.

"Oh."

"You don't like me back? Of course you don't. Your a genuine badass and I'm just me."

" No Courtney... of course not. I like you too. A lot, I'm just not always good at telling people how I feel. I was just scared... that if I told you that it would ruin our friendship... a and I love our friendship but I would love us to be more than just friends... unless you don't want to be more than friends then we can just forget this ever-" Josie rambled before Courtney quickly pecked her lips suprising Josie but they then both looked into eachothers eyes before they both quickly leaned in before devouring eachother.

Josie smiled as they kissed, well made out. One, because she was kissing the girl that she was in love with and two because she could hear the excitement coming from Henry.

✦✧✦✧

The two lovers came back down stairs with hidden smiles on their faces. Josephine noticed that Melaina was scrolling through her phone again. She excused herself from Courtney before walking over to her friend.

"Hey... you good?"

"Yeah I am... I was just texting Cameron again. He's leaving for Norway in a few hours and I'm just worried." Melaina expressed making Josie send her an apologetic smile

"Speaking of Cameron... I really need you to hear me out." Josie paused as the curly haired girl nodded her head. "When it comes to the moment where you have to choose between Cameron and us. I need you to promise me that you'll choose us." As soon as those words left her mouth Melania's disturbed expression shifted to a confused and angry one.

"What do you mean when. If, it happens."

"When not if."

"When? Are you being serious right now. Do you even realise what happened?" She paused. "We orphaned Cameron. He lost his mother to Cancer 8 years ago and 6 weeks ago Jordan shattered, literally shattered and died. My boyfriend is an orphan because of us. Me!"

"I get that Melaina but Cameron is his fathers son. His father killed Joey and my dad. You can't be seriously be taking his side right now?!"

"Fathers son? Wow that's ironic coming from you."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Last time I checked you and Henry are children of members of the ISA. Henry died! Cindy is no where to be found. You are really stereotyping Cameron after your father was one of the most powerful members."

Josie went silent for a moment, lucky for them no one had really noticed their argument except Tia, Courtney, Hippolyta and Rick.

"He has no one! Got it. I'm all he has left. He doesn't even know about how psychotic his family actually is! I am glad that my father taught me many languages which include Norwegian because you would not believe the things those bastards have said."

"I'm trying to do what's best for the team."

"The team really is that it? I've known you for a decade I can see when you're lying." She paused as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "I can't believe you're making me choose. You out of all people should know how it feels like to loose a parent. He's lost two, both of them!" Melaina ranted before marching to the couch where her purse was.

"Melaina where are you going?" Josie asked as she scurried after the girl as she grabbed her black purse.

"Tell my mom I walked to Cameron's! Oh and your suprise outside" She said before walking out of the Whitemore-Dougan household.

Josie stepped outside with the Dumont sisters behind her when she saw her mother exit what looked like her new car.

Josie ran to her while the Dumont sisters went after Melaina.

This may have been the end for some, but it was the beginning of worse things to come.
