It was Christmas day, where everyone would gather to enjoy being together with their families.
Before nightfall most people are preparing food, they will celebrate Christmas Eve party with their families.
Likewise in the Smith family residence, some people seem to have gathered, there has been seen Edward and also his wife Amanda.
Henry is already agile running now and he is a little naughty, Edward is looking after his son while Amanda seems to be helping his mother-in-law and grandmother to prepare food.
Of course their family is not complete because Olivia has not come with her husband and child as well as Jacob and Alice, they both have not come.
Alice was bathing Albert at the time, she had to get ready to go to her in-laws' house immediately.
Marry was also getting ready in his room, he was already big and could already be alone. She also did not want to bother her mother because her mother had already bothered with her sister.
After Marry finished he went into his mother's room, Alice was done bathing Albert and was wearing clothes for Albert.
"Mommy, how can I help you?" Marry approached his mother and stood beside her.
"Marry, my goodness. Look, you're so pretty in this red dress." she said.
Alice hugged Marry and kissed her forehead, she was so happy to see Marry had grown up and she looked so happy.
Although they both have lost their families, they have found a new family full of love and affection.
Without feeling the tears of Alice flowing from both eyes, everything that had happened and befall them both ringed in his head and honestly, he was very relieved to be able to save Marry at that time.
And now Marry is so happy because he is loved and loved by everyone and those people that is their family now and forever.
His father and mother must be happy in nature there as well as his brother and sister-in-law, his meeting with Jacob was not just a coincidence, despite the many mistakes he had made, Jacob always loved him sincerely and did not blame himself for everything they had been through.
"Mom, are you crying?"
"Don't love, forgive mommy for making your life suffer all this time."
"No mom, it's not mommy's fault. Marry is so grateful God still gives mommy to Marry."
"Oh my goodness." Alice wiped her tears and hugged Mary tightly, until she would consider Mary as her daughter.
"Hey.hey..what's wrong with you guys?" Jacob went into the room and approached them.
"There's nothing Jac."
"Daddy." Marry took her hug off her mother, she immediately ran towards her father and hugged him.
"Wow, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
"Daddy, thank you for accepting Marry as a daddy and thank you for loving Marry."
"Hey what did Marry say? Until whenever Marry's gonna be daddy's daughter, okay?"
"Thank you dad."
Alice smiled happily, although Mary was her brother's daughter but Jacob and his family loved her so much that even Jacob still loved Mary like his own son to this day.
He began to lift Albert up on the bed and walked towards his husband and daughter, Jacob embracing his wife's shoulder and kissing her cheek.
This is their happiness, they are happy with the family they have and soon they will be reunited with their extended family where their happiness is more perfect.
"Are you guys done?" Jacob took Albert from his wife's arms.
"In a minute, I'm gonna have to get Albert's stuff cleaned up."
"All right, everyone's waiting."
"Marry are you done?"
"A little more mom, tonight grandma asked Marry to stay."
"Okay, get your stuff done."
"Yes mom." Marry immediately went out of there to clean up his belongings while Alice began to prepare Albert's belongings.
After that Jacob approached his wife and hugged her from behind.
"My honey."
"Hmm??"
Alice turned her body and hugged her husband.
"You know what?" Jacob held his wife's chin and looked at her face.
"You're everything to me."
"You're Jac too, for me and Marry, you're everything, and so is Albert. Not only that, you're everything to me and Marry. Marry and I have lost our family but now we have a family that loves and loves us very much. Thank you Jac."
"Oh my honey, don't say that because for us family is number one and more important than anything."
"I love you Jac."
"I love you too my honey."
Jacob kissed his wife's lips gently, even though they were like that but for them the family was everything and Albert, it would be like that later.
He will grow up to be a grown man and follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and father later.
Maybe in the future they will have more children and they will take care of their children with love and of course, their families will be more crowded.
After they finished getting ready, they immediately went to their parents' house to pass Christmas Eve where their families had all gathered and were waiting for their arrival.
"Hey brother." Edward called his brother when his brother arrived.
"Yo brother Ed."
Edward and Jacob clenched their palms and after that Edward grabbed his sister's shoulder as he said:
"Me and daddy are making a bet.
"What order?"
"Bet you to wear Santa's shirt."
"Oh no, don't involve me!"
Edward just laughed and they approached all who had gathered in the family room.
Jhon and Samantha looked at their sons and daughters who had gathered with their children and they both looked happy with their families as well as Michael and Xiau Yu, who were both happy with their families, in old age they can still enjoy the happiness of gathering with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Silvia did not come there because she was also with her family.
The men seemed to be talking together as well as the women, they also talked and sometimes they laughed.
Amanda and Alice were sitting next to each other, they were two very lucky women to join the family when they lost their family.
But now there is no more sadness for the two of them, only happiness because they are both surrounded by people who love them very much and love them.
When night falls, Alice sits down at the piano, playing music to enliven their Christmas Eve, and Mary is ready to sing a Christmas song and stand beside her mother.
The sound of music began to flow and Marry began to sing Christmas songs, all seemed so happy to hear it and they clapped when Marry was done but after that, all seemed so happy to hear it, Alice returned to playing a happy song until everyone there sang happily.
A beautiful night is filled with happiness because they look happy with their families who are so precious from anything and they will be like that forever.
As well as elsewhere, Billy and Amber are enjoying their Christmas Eve with their children and grandchildren.
Jane is also happy with the family she has, she is also very grateful that Andrew accepted it without asking her past and again, she is very grateful to Jay Walker for helping her.
A beautiful Christmas Eve, there is happiness in every home where every family is gathered to pass a beautiful Christmas night with their families.
