Hey guys...I started a Christmas Story and I think Imma post it here.

Here's a little description.

Nick and Jessica have only been dating for a little and Nick wants to introduce her to his family. What more perfect way to do it than bring her home for the holidays? Come on - Nick's daughter loves her - so why wouldn't the rest of the family?
When they find out what Nick's hidden from them about his girlfriend, will they still accept her? Will they be "in the spirit of Christmas"?


First Chapter Soon...

The alarm clocked blared at exactly 6:45am. The woman snuggled deeper into her lovers’ arms just as he smacked the alarm clock.
“Five minutes.” She mumbled as he moved his arms from around her.
“No.” he mumbled. “We have to get up.”
”Do we really have to?”
“Yes.” He mumbled. When he’d successfully detached himself from his girlfriends’ body, he swung his legs over the side of his bed, just as the alarm rang again.
“Jess, come on, get up.” He mumbled. “We have to be out of here in an hour.”
“Fine.” She rolled over and headed to the bathroom. Nick shook his head and left for the kitchen, where he started a hearty breakfast of eggs and toast.

As soon as he heard the shower shut off, he looked over at the clock. 5 to 7. He heard her rustling around in the bathroom, before running down the hallway to another bedroom.

A good five minutes later, both of his women appeared, one in a Barbie nightgown, the other in a pair of his sweat pants and a black tank top.

“Good morning” He smiled. He was rewarded with both ladies smiled.
”Good morning Daddy.” The one in the Barbie nightgown smiled.
“Good morning Princess”
He gently kissed her blonde head as he sat her plate in front of her. Once she started eating, he properly greeted his girlfriend of four months.
“Good morning angel.”
“Good morning.” She kissed him quickly before moving to the kitchen area to grab a cup of orange juice for the little girl and a cup of coffee for her and Nick.

The tiny family sat at the table eating.
Jessica got up to put her plate in the sink. She looked at the clock.

“Come on Mallory, we gotta get ready.”
“Kay.” The little girl jumped out of her chair and ran for her bedroom.

‘’You get her set…and I’ll make her lunch.”
Jessica nodded and headed off to the little girls room.

”Let’s get you dressed Bella.” The little girl nodded
“Now, pants? It looks like it’s going to be cold.”
“Ok”
Jessica pulled out a pair of black stretch pants and grabbed her a white sweater.

“There. I’m going to run to get ready. Can you get dressed by yourself?”
“Yup.” Mallory smiled as she sat down on her bed.
Jessica smiled and left the room, heading for Nick’s.

She grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom to change. She quickly got dressed in a pair of hip hugging jeans and a black long sleeved shirt. She quickly applied her makeup then went back out to the kitchen where she found Nick closing Mallory’s lunch bag.

“Bathrooms yours” She smiled noticing the time on the clock.
He turned and smiled. “Why thank you.” He smiled again and gave her a quick kiss before going to shower quickly.

She walked down the hall and checked on Mallory’s progress.

“Want me to do your hair baby?”

The little girl, who’d been playing with a Barbie, nodded.
Jessica quickly pulled the little girls hair into a high ponytail and got her to go watch tv while she got her own stuff together for the day.

And once Nick was ready, they headed down to the parking garage.

“Have a good day Baby” Nick smiled, kissing her quickly.
“I’ll try” She giggled when she felt his hands in her back pocket.
“Say buh bye to Jessica Mallory.”
“Bye Jessie!”
“Bye Sweetie!”
“Bye Baby” Jessica initiated the kiss. “I’ll see you later.”
“You got it”
And with that Jessica got in her car and drove to her destination as Nick drove to his.

She pulled up at Mountainview High in record time. She grabbed her backpack and ran towards the entrance.

“Hey Jess…” Jessica turned towards the voice and smiled when she saw it was her best friend, CaCee.
“Hey” She fell into step and stopped at her locker.
“How was Mr. Lachey’s last night?”
“Why?” Jessica laughed.
“Cause…your dating an older man…you spend your weekends at his apartment…”
“CaCee, nothing exciting. We just hung around with Mallory and then he helped me with some homework.”
“What kind of homework…biology?”
“Get real Cace…” She blushed. “It was history.” She laughed. “I’ll talk to you later, I’ve gotta get to cl[arse].”

She said bye to CaCee, grabbed her purse and headed to cl[arse].

At the end of the day, Jessica sighed as she left her last cl[arse], English. She could faintly hear a cell phone ringing. Finally, she realized it was hers. She dug through her purse for it and smiled she saw ‘Lachey, Nick’ on the screen.
“Hey Baby.”
“Hey Angel. I didn’t intereupt cl[arse] did I?”
“Nope. Just ended. What’s up?”
“Could you possibly pick Mallory up? I’m going to be late…there’s a staff meeting…”
”Of course, St. Thomas right?”
”Yea. And just meet me at the apartment, alright?”
“Yup. I’ve got keys.”
”Thanks a million baby”
“Yea, yea” She laughed. They said good bye and she hung up her phone as she rushed to her locker.

”Hey, Jessica we’re all going to watch the guys football practice, wanna come?”
“I can’t” She said, continuing towards her locker.
“And why not..”
”I’ve got things to do.”
“oo…” Jessica laughed and slammed her locker shut.
“Was that Mr. Lachey on the phone as soon as you got out of English..”
Jessica blushed “Yes, and if you’ll excuse me, I’m running late to pick up Mallory.”
And with that she left. Her friends stood there, wondering what just happened.

Jessica walked out to her car and got in. She quickly drove to the elementary school just as the bell rang.

She grabbed her sungl[arse]es and went to wait for Mallory. She looked around at the other parents and just through about how young she must look to them. That was quickly forgotten when she saw Mallory. The little girl spotted her immediately.
“Jessie!”
“Hey baby” She took her backpack from her.
“Where’s Daddy?”
“He got held up at school. So I’m going to take you home.”
“Ok” The pair started to walk away.
“excuse me” Jessica turned around to face an older woman.
“That’s my teacher” Mallory whispered.
“Could you give this to your father? It’s a note about parent teacher night.”
Jessica was silent for a moment “Sure.”
She took the note from the older woman, than took Mallory’s hand and headed to her car.

She got Mallory into the car and collected herself before getting in herself.

Her cell phone rang as she came to a stoplight.

“Hello?” She said softly.
“Hey Jess.” Her mom said.
“Hi.” She said softly.
“Are you going to be home for dinner or…Ashlee has dance and we’re having dinner…I was just wondering if you were going to Nick’s first or..”
“I don’t think so. Nick has a staff meeting and I’ve got Mallory right now..”
“Alright.”
“well…drive safely…” Her mother ended.

Jessica hung up the phone with her mother just as the light turned green.

“How would you like to go to McDonald’s?”
“Yea!”
Jessica smiled a little and pulled into the drive thru.
“What do you want, Hamburger, Cheeseburger or nuggets?”
‘Hmm…Cheeseburgerâ ‚¬Â
Jessica laughed a little and pulled up to the speaker. “Hi. Can I get a kids cheeseburger meal with chocolate milk. A Big Mac meal with coke and a quarter pounder mean with a diet coke.”
“Alright. $17.90. First window please”

After Jessica got the food they headed to Nick’s.
“Thank You Jessie.”
“No problem Mal.” She said softly. “your welcome.”

“Daddy’s back.” Mallory giggled a few minutes later as she bit into her burger. Jessica nodded as she heard his footsteps coming towards the living room, where they were eating.

“Hey Princess” Nick said as he came into the girls’ view. He bent down to kiss Mallory’s head and then Jessica’s. “Wow, Whatcha got here?”
“Jessie got me McDonalds” Mallory smiled.
“There’s some for you in the kitchen” She said softly as she stood.
“Where are you going?”
“Bathroom” she threw over her shoulder.
Nick sighed. He stood to go get his dinner from the kitchen.

Jessica stood in the bathroom looking in the mirror. She didn’t look that young to the teacher, did she?” She’d always been told she looked older than she really did. Did she look young when she was with Nick? Surely the teacher didn’t really think that she was Mallory’s teacher. She collected herself and headed out to the living room.

She sat down next to Nick on the couch.

“I’ve got a not from Mallory’s teacher.” She said after Mallory had gone to wash her hands.
Nick’s face looked worried. “What about?”
“Parent teacher interviews. I don’t know if I should give it to you. She told me to give it to my father.”
“WHAT?”
“Nick, do I really look young to you? How old do I look?”
“Jess…”
“No really, I want you to answer me”
“You look…”
“Say it…”
“You look your age.”
“Nick!”
“What do you want me to say Jessica.” He asked raising his voice.
“Ugh.”
“Jess…” He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. “It doesn’t matter to me how old you are…or how old you look.”
She smiled and laid her head on his chest. He kissed her hair just as Mallory came back to the living room.
Nick let got of Jessica and picked Mallory up. “Let’s give Jess a hug” He whispered in her ear. The little girl smiled and reached her arms out to her father’s girlfriend.
Jessica laughed and took the girl in her arms.
“That’s just what I needed. Thank you baby”
“Welcome” the little girl scooted over and sat on the other side of Jessica, on the couch.

Later that night, Nick was doing some marking in the kitchen while Jessica gave Mallory a bath when the phone rang.

“Hello”
“Hi Nick”
“Oh – hi Mom” The woman on the other end laughed.
”Didn’t recognize me?”
“No, I did…just thinking and doing some marking. What’s up?”
“Well, you know – Christmas is in 2½ weeks” She started. “I was wondering if you and Mal were coming?”
“Of course” Nick through again before returning to the conversation with his mother. “Do you mind if I bring someone?”
“Someone…†
”Yea.” He smiled. “I’ve been seeing her since August and I think you’ll love her…”
“Sure”
“Alright.” He smiled. “See you Christmas Day mom”

Jessica came back in the room just as Nick hung up the phone.
“Mallory wants you to go tuck her in”
“Alright” Nick smiled and then kissed her head.

When he returned, Nick plopped down on the couch and pulled Jessica into his lap.
“I really got get going…”
“Just stay tonight baby…” Nick placed a kiss on the side of her head.
“But it’s a school night…”
“So…” He whined.
“Fine” She smiled as she leaned her head on his shoulder. He ran his fingers through her hair for a few minutes.
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure baby. Anything.” She looked up at him.
“That was my mom who called.” He paused
“Ok”
“And she asked me about Christmas…whether Mallory and I were going up there to see her and Dad…”
“Ok…” Now she was getting a little suspicious.
“And I was wondering, if you’d come up with us. To meet my parents”
