Undercover santa, p.6
Undercover Santa, page 6
Grabbing my cup of coffee between my hands, letting it soak through, I watch them from my spot. In the horizon I see their father come running, and fall to the ground wrestling the kids one by one. He seems to have the upper hand until all three get that glint in their eyes and with a nod, they attack all at once. I can’t help but laugh, all the joy I’ve received in the last few years always making me count my blessings.
The irony isn’t lost on me that for as much as I hated Christmas, it was what gave me my forever. I wouldn’t change a thing and my loving husband has grown not only as a man, but as a brother and leader. He even became a mentor to my own brother, who was dealing with a lot of anger issues from my parents. With the help of Joe, Patrick has become an outstanding man. In fact, he’s started working as Joe’s right hand man and put his engineering degree to good use. He’s made a life up here and we only go see our siblings once a year, but never near our parents. I never want that much evil to touch him again, or the progress he made at a stable life.
I sit there for a few minutes more just basking in the sight of my loves being so close, and loving. I take the last sip of my coffee, and walk out to wrangle my little, dirty minions and the head minion himself.
“Come on, let's get you all cleaned up, dinner will be ready in a half hour and we don’t want all that dirt at the table.”
“Mama’s a party pooper.” Mini-me pipes up putting her hands on her hips, obviously not happy with my direction. That child is going to be my biggest headache, and I can just see it now. She’s already been calling the Cupid’s kid her boyfriend. Her daddy had a field day when he found out, marching all the way to Romeo’s house demanding answers. Only to have the shy Raymond, hiding behind his daddy, retelling the story of how Crystal demanded he be her boyfriend.
“Shoot babe, can you help me? I think I hurt my back.” I hear my husband call to me, and I rush over fearing that he did get hurt.
“Ok sit still I’ll call the doctor, give me one sec. Ok babe?” I ask him, but he shakes his head at me. “No, I just need you to help me up, give me a hand.” Doing as he says I place mine in his getting ready to pull.
“Now attack!”
“The Claus Clan is ready for attack!” I hear all my children scream, as I’m pulled down to the floor and forced to roll around in the dirt. All three of them, and my husband, tickling me into submission.
“Wait until I get up from here! I’m going to send you all to the corner!” Struggling to my feet, I growl at them and they all go running up the stairs. My husband stays behind, pulling me into his arms and lifting me. His lips descend on mine and it quickly turns heated.
“You being naughty Mr. Claus?” I ask against his lips, my hand pulling at the hair on the back of his neck. His clean-cut haircut always makes me want to run my hand through it.
“You know it, I figured since you were all dirty, I’d take you upstairs lather you up, and then dirty you all over again.”
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kiss him again, this time more playful than passionate. “I’d like that, I haven’t had that candy cane in a while.”
“Is that so? I thought I had given you a nice big one this morning, guess not. We have to remedy that right away, can’t have you thinking Santa doesn’t follow through.”
Pulling me into his arms we march up to the bathroom, taking a bit extra time in there. Our kids all playing on their video games, affords us a little alone time, even if it’s in the confines of our bathroom walls. Later when they fall asleep early, from a long day of playing games, we retire to our room, and my husband shows me just how much I love his candy cane.
