Alina couldn't help but giggle at Theo's whining. It reminded her so much of Junior, and it made her want to hug him tight. She grinned as he squeezed her hand, and gave him a gentle squeeze in return before hugging him tight.

She nestled her head on Theo's shoulder, patted her stomach gently, and thought about what she might want for Christmas. Honestly, she didn't know. In many ways she already had what she wanted for Christmas, her family around her. "I didn't say you were...I just don't expect anything extra for Christmas," she replied after a short while. "Though you know I always like clothes, or jewelry, or surprises." She smiled, and her eyes twinkled. "Lots of nice surprises."
