The girls knew Charity would crack, and they knew she'd do this. It was the evening of christmas day, and after dinner with her family Charity took Josh up on his invitation. Packing Grace into warm clothes she took the sleeping little girl to visist her father for christmas.

Christmas, Josh had barely noticed. Other than the small gifts he had brought Charity and grace, he had been busy, working away, planning with Tomas. Now the plans were almost finalized, ready to begin building in the new year.

They arrived in a flash, in the safety of his study and Charity shook her head. "Working at christmas?" She asked, and laughed The red head had her figure back, had gone back to dancing to get it back and was in her sam beautiful shape just over a month since the birth of their daughter. She found it hard, but not strange that this was only the second time Josh had seen his daughter. After all, for the first four years of her life Chatty didnt see her father.

Josh looked up and grinned, his work forgotten about, the pen landing on the desk with a clatter. "Charity!" he exclaimed, standing, and moving over to her, to give her a hug, a sweet kiss. "I didn't think i would see you today." he answered, as if in answer to her comment on his working.

"You invited us so we came," She said, and placed Grace's basket down on the desk so she could hug him properly and take a second kiss. "merry christmas." It was a funny celebration in Chatty's house, what with them being devils, they didnt celebrate the birth of the uncle they never talked about.

he smiled again. "That i did." he replied, remembering the very invitation to come to dinner, a chance he had seen as them being a normal family. "How are you?" he asked once their greeting and embrace had finished. "And grace?"

"We're fine, a little tired from todays excitment already." She said softly. "Could do with a drink, well I know I could." She hinted.

He laughed. "Of course." He walked over to the little case near his desk, and returned with two glasses of egg nog, one of which he handed to charity. "The maids idea." he explained. "She confiscated the brandy." The maid in question had taken to such things since charity had left, and more so since Josh had started working on his most recent project. Clean shaven and as smart as ever in his jeans and shirt, there where bags under his eyes. "To get me in the Christmas mood, she said."
