-Leigh smiled as she sat and watched her daughter roll on the floor and try to crawl. She laughed softly as Iridessa started to crawl then slipped. She could see the determination and frustration in her daughter's face. She sighed softly and looked around the house. She'd decorated it for the holidays even though she'd known it'd be just her and Dessa. Ev had missed out on Dessa's first Christmas. Leigh was a little upset but knew that Ev was always busy and couldn't be home as much as he wished. She leaned back against the couch she was sitting in front of keeping an eye on Dessa. She smiled loving watching her daughter-

he walked from out the shadows and stood there quietly. In his hands were gifts for both him and the child. He watched the baby, remembering when Angel were at that age. He smiled to himself as he walked over and sat beside leigh. he handed her the gift he bought her and kissed her cheek. "Meryy Christmas sweetie." He smiled at her. He knew that she wouldn't ask how he got into the house, he always found a way. So she had stopped bothering to ask a long time ago. He picked up the baby and watched her, looking into her eyes. "She looks just like you."

-she smiled softly and kissed his cheek back- Merry Christmas
-she watched him holding Dessa and blushed slightly- Thank you. Most of my children have always taken after their father so it is nice to finally have one look like me
-she set the gift on the coffee table. she was happier just to have someone around to talk to than anything-

He laughed when she mentioned the kids looking like their fathers. "You are right about that, but this one here is a spitting image of you." He turned and looked at her. "I'm proud of you Leighnara." He smiled as he handled the baby to her. "Where's Ev?" He knew that ev would raise hell to see him sitting on his couch in his home. He could care less honestly. He just wanted to wish Leigh a merry christmas.

He looked at the baby and smiled. "I'm proud of you because you're finally standing on your own two feet. You're growing." He rubbed the baby's head.

-she nodded and then looked down at Dessa. She had closed her eyes, started sucking her thumb, and had fallen asleep. she kissed her head softly then got up and put her in a bassinet sitting beside the couch. she sat back down and rubbed her face- I've decided that I can't rely on anyone or anything other than myself
-she looked at him- Why aren't you with your family?

he rubbed his hands together and looked at her. "what family? Keni took the kids and left me. I haven't seen or heard from them." he peeled off his black leather jacket and laid it across the arm of the couch. He looked at her the shrugged. "I'm content, not happy but content."

-she closed her eyes and yawned slightly- It gets hard sometimes but I don't think I'd trade what I have for the world
-she sat up and looked at him- I'm really sorry things haven't worked out with Keni

He looked at her. "Don't apologize for something you have no control over. Things just weren't meant to be." He looked at the baby sleeping. "You have a blessing on your hands with her so it's good that you appreciate it and realize what you have before it's far too late."
