A cold Christmas Eve falls over Von Dante, and it's even Colder as Claudette has lost it all. Her closest friend, François had been missing, presumed dead for years, and Xavier had been completely absent. Killed by Jean-luc for being a Nazis... she never would have guessed. One thing she did see was a letter written by James. That American from oh so long ago. She happily hung the postcard and wrote back to him, telling him about how she had been.
Curled by the fire, hot cocoa in hand, the cold winds rushing outside her apartment. Evie lightly smiles. John James and Cindy had stayed the night, all night long they spoke of their traditions and sang songs. They watched a Charlie brown Christmas as well. Good cheer was certainly in the air. As Evie hoped that Toby and Meg got their invite to join them the next morning.
Despite the cold winter, work needed to be done, although Gregoire took his time with it. The snow making the rocks harder to drill, and palentology harder to work with. Gregoire headed home to his warm bed, satisfied with the day. For tomorrow He'd wake up, and meet within his stead, his friends and family all day. Pierre, his buddy invited Cliff, Chip, and all his other friends to celebrate in the Geologist way.
🥛James looked around his empty apartment, Christmas eve was on its way. He had done his best to save up enough money to give Peter the best Christmas he could afford. He bought a cheese Making kit, and milk glasses he thought Peter would like. And he wrote a little note.
I'm sorry I can't be there in person. But I do love you dearly.
I hope that these presents can make up for my absence, and have a Merry Christmas.
Love," he hesitated for a moment before writing, "your other dad."
He then packed up the box and sent it to Jemima's house. Hopefully, Peter will like it.
Gordon doesn't go home. Instead he decorates the station, sleeping on the couch in his office, Manning the phones by himself to allow his team to have a lovely day at home with their families for christmas.
Jeremy prepares himself for the wonderful chaos of Andrew and Sam's household for tomorrow. He made sure he had his best Christmas jumper clean and ready to go as well as a present for Andrew and Sam as well as his sister.
Heather had been preparing months in advance for this moment. She had a large array of presents for everyone and she even made sure to pay more attention to Alice. She made sure that Alice's presents were quite well, her. She may be worried about her kid messing with dark magic, but she's going to try to be supportive from now on. She even invited the Boy that Alice called to help them save Jimmy from hell, again. But he had politely declined. He apparently had other plans.
