The morning sun rose over Orlando and the Futura resort. It was Christmas day at long last.

The resort was quiet, and nonetheless, the excitement was in the air.

At the Atherton room, there was a knock on the door. Cathy had come in, and so had Dave. Rusty had opened the door.

"Morning, Dave," he yawned, "morning, Cathy."

"Morning, dear," Cathy said, "is Aaron awake?"

"In the shower, Mom," Aaron called, "I will be ready here in a moment."

"Take your time, hon," Cathy said, "is Aidan around?"

"Morning, Grandma," Aidan called on cue, a smile on his face.

"Morning, my darling," Cathy said, hugging him close, "how are you?"

"Fine," he said, "Hi Papa."

"Morning sport," Dave smiled, ruffling his hair.

A few minutes later, Sarah Jo came in, followed by Liz, Mary Lynn and Marie, who had become part of the family in many ways.

"Merry Christmas everyone," Marie smiled.

"What she said," Liz grinned.

"Morning ladies," Dave smiled, "come in and sit down."

"I shall," Mary Lynn smiled.

"How is everyone this morning?" Sarah Jo asked.

"We're fine," Aaron smiled, giving his friend a hug, "and you? Who's working at the desk?"

"We had a few people down there," Sarah Jo said, "and I am still looking for a second in command."

"We can deal with that, after the holidays," Cathy smiled, "today we celebrate!"

"Indeed," Sarah Jo said.

That morning was glorious! Aidan got a lot of things he wanted. He got a ball glove and baseball from Santa; also he got some new clothes from his uncle Jason; Nate had sent him some books he knew he loved; from his Daddy, he got a Mickey Mouse train set; from his grandparents, a Magic Kingdom playset; from Liz, Marie and Mary Lynn, some stuffed toys from the Arcade; and from Sarah Jo, he got some playmobil toys.

Rusty had brought him a very special gift. It was a framed picture. It had been taken at the Magic Kingdom one day when everyone went to the park that day. Cathy, Dave, Aaron, Rusty, Marie, Liz, Mary Lynn, Sarah Jo and Aidan were all in the picture.

After the gifts were opened, Liz, who was a very good cook, having taken classes at Le Cordon Bleu in Orlando, cooked breakfast for everyone.

"I didn't know you cooked, Liz," Aaron was astonished.

"Another thing I wanted to do when being a socialite became boring," Liz smiled, "I ate alone most of the time, and as such, I wanted to learn to cook. So I did."

After everything was cleaned up, the group went downstairs to get ready for the parks. Unfortunately, for them, Jennifer was downstairs too, acting like a fool.

"Oh my goodness," Cathy said, "talk about a dismal comedown!"

Aidan shrank away from the woman who gave birth to him, Aaron put his arm around him, "It's all right, buddy," he said, "she won't hurt you."

"What are you doing around here?" Rusty snapped.

"I have rights to come here anytime I want to," Jennifer sniffed.

"So you do," Sarah Jo said coldly, "but don't you mess with our family celebration!"

"You, a family?!" Jennifer laughed in scorn, "Zach and I are a family! You all are not!"

"Listen to me!" Sarah Jo said, "I am a part of this family! Aaron has said I am; and so are my colleagues! I am telling you, if you don't want to be thrown out, then I would suggest you leave of your own choosing."

Jennifer left, knowing that she inflicted pain on those who supposedly scorned her.

"Byeeeeeee!" she waggled her fingers.

"Good riddance!" Marie said snarkily.

"Be quiet, Ratched!" Jennifer glared at her.

"Begone, Snob!" Marie sneered at her.

Jennifer swept out of the lobby towards the waiting limo. She laughed all the way out.

"What a piece of work she is," Dave said.

"I'm not scared of her anymore," Aidan said softly.

The group looked at Aidan.

"Why is that, son?" Aaron asked.

"You love me," he said, "and that is more than enough."

Aaron picked up his little boy and held him close, "That is right," he said, "and I love you so very much, Slugger."

That was the underlying part of Christmas, they were a part of a family. A larger family.

Jennifer looked at the group. She said that they weren't family at all. But she wasn't thinking of that.

"Get me away from here," she ordered her driver, "take me to Maxim's!"

The limo driver nodded, and Jennifer snuggled close to her husband.

"I want to be away from this scene!" she said.

"When we're married," Zach smiled, "we will travel extensively. Living high on the hog!"

Jennifer smiled, "That was what I want!"

So, in a sense, Jennifer got what she wanted for Christmas.

*Happy Holidays to you and yours from the cast and Crew of Resort*
