All Artie Jackson wanted was the whole family to be home for Christmas. Be careful what you wish for...

It was a white Christmas morning in the buzzing house of the Lee family. The kids woke up an hour earlier than usual. They were excited and thrilled knowing that today was the 24th of December. Soeul, Daeul, Se Ho and Ali were excited to spend Christmas with their family and Friends. Mrs. Lee was kind enough to let the children invite their orphan friends from school. The children were ecstatic, they had planned everything for their friends, they had asked Mrs. Lee if it was alright for their friends to spend the night, and Mrs. Lee had agreed. The children hurriedly went to their rooms and arranged it. Se Ho and Ali were decorating every nook and cranny of their rooms for their friends.
Sarang was busy in the kitchen. She was cutting, boiling, mixing and doing cleaning for tonight's dinner. She was happy that she was home for Christmas. And even though just for today or how long she was going to stay, she wanted to do all the work in the kitchen, she wanted her mother to take a break after taking care of four kids all by herself. She felt sorry for her mother, true that her mother has the children to keep her company, but it was still lonely without her husband. Her mom was strong, but it was evident in her eyes that she missed her husband and son, and had wished that they be here for Christmas. After coming home from the hospital they had received a letter from Donggeun saying that he could not come for Christmas due to some emergency back at the military camp, during dinner Mrs. Lee had received a call from her husband saying that he would not be able to come home for Christmas because of some paper works that were due this 25th. Mrs. Lee was a strong woman, and although she was disappointed in not having her son and husband on Christmas, she still held on to that smile and content with having her daughter and the children with her. 
Today was the day that Hye Rin would be discharged from the hospital, she was happy to know that she was still able to celebrate Christmas with her new family. She felt a pang in her heart, she was missing her real family so much, It had been 2 years since she came to Korea and left her family, and she still misses them terribly. Hye Rin was excited about going home to the Lee residence, she had asked Daniel if it was alright to drive her back to her apartment for the presents, and Daniel had agreed, She was thankful that Daniel hadn't left her side all through the night, he had been caring and affectionate towards her that she couldn't help but feel butterflies in her stomach and her heart fluttering. 
Everything was set and they were ready to go, Daniel knowing that some cameras would be flashed their way had prepared an exit an hour prior to Hye Rin's discharge. 
"Are you ready?" Daniel asked, "Yeah, let's go home Daniel" Hye Rin said with happiness and excitement evident in her eyes. Daniel held Hye Rin's hand and supported her waist on the other; they had both been wearing black snapback caps just in case someone recognizes them. Fortunate for Daniel his plan worked and it was then smooth driving towards Hye Rin's apartment and to the Lee Residence.
 
"Hello?" "Sarang, we'll be stopping by Hye Rin's apartment for a while to pick up some presents for the kids, can you tell Mrs. Lee?" "Sure okey dokey no problemo Dan Dan" Sarang had received a call from Daniel notifying her that they would be late for lunch. 
"Mom, Daniel, and Hye Rin would be late for lunch they'll be picking up some presents for the kids" Sarang relayed to her mother, "That's okay, let's just leave them some food then.." Mrs. Lee said with a brilliant smile on her face. Hours later and in came Daniel and Hye Rin, "Finally, took you guys long enough" Sarang greeted them by the door, "Sorry, we got caught in traffic" Hye Rin said apologetically, they were greeted by the pounding of tiny feet coming towards them. Soeul happily greeted both Hye Rin and Daniel. 
Daeul was slowly coming down the stairs, Daniel quickly took the little boy in his arms and twirled him in the air. "If I hadn't known you guys I'd say Daniel is their real father" Sarang whispered to Hye Rin, They were having so much time catching up with each other and busy preparing for the said Christmas dinner.
A knock on their door was heard and Daniel volunteered to open it, what he was quite surprised with what he saw, there stood by their doorstep six children looking surprised with mouth agape looking directly at him, "Do you know Se Ho and Ali?" a liitle boy asked, "Andi!" Se Ho was standing behind Daniel smiling widely at his friend by the doorstep.
 Daniel opened the door wide to welcome the children, Hye Rin was standing at the hallway smiling at the kids and welcoming them all the while greeting them a merry Christmas. The children were having fun playing games, eating cookies; even the little girls were bombarding Daniel with tons of questions.
 "Are you friends with Se Ho?" A little girl asked with sparkling eyes, Daniel laughed at the little girl's cuteness and said "You can say that, but I prefer you call me Se Ho's big brother" 
The girls were having so much time being around Daniel, "Daniel it's time for dinner" Hye Rin approached him and said gently while smiling at the kids, Daniel nodded and led the little ones to the dining table, everyone was seated, and looking around the table happily, 
"I'd like to propose a toast" Mrs. Lee said, "I'm happy you kids are here, Sarang came home from Malaysia, Daniel came to spend Christmas with us, Hye Rin is safe and sound after the accident, I really wished that Mr. Lee and Donggeun was here to celebrate this with us," She added with tears brimming in her eyes, "Well it's a bit disappointing to come home in Christmas empty handed right?" Sarang decided to cut in, everybody nodded hesitatingly confused of what Sarang would be talking about, "Well then I've prepared a huge present for my mom, Ali, Se Ho would you please bring the present here, it's right outside the house" Sarang asked with a huge knowing smile brimming on her face.
Se Ho and Ali were quick in rising up and running towards the door, the moment they opened the door, they were shocked and at the same time amazed, there stood right at their doorstep was none other than Mr. Lee and Donggeun, They were both amazed and happy, they immediately led the two adults into the Dining table. 
 
Everybody's hearts were pounding, anxious of what the present would be, when they saw the said present, Mrs. Lee wept out of happiness and ran immediately towards her husband and son, it was such a wonderful moment, Finally, the Lee family was complete once again. This was by far the greatest present and miracle that ever happened in their lives. Everyone was happy, together with friends, family, and the ones they love.

VOLUME TWO: FINDING LOVE IN CHRISTMAS COVE
"Are you sure you don't want to come over tonight?" Jocelyn asked Kiki Long after the Christmas Eve service. They both sang in the church choir together and had been friends for years. "After all, it's Christmas Eve."
Kiki shook her head as she slid her purse over her arm. "No, I don't want to intrude." Jocelyn and Caden had a rough road getting together and she and her sister were actually getting along now. Kiki didn't want to spoil anything for them. Jocelyn needed this holiday with her family. "Besides, I don't want to be a third wheel."
"Yeah, right." Jocelyn scoffed. "Caden and I would love to have you, and so would Malory. Caden thinks the world of you, and his parents are coming over, too."
"I promised Evelyn that I'd go over to the Children's Home today. They're expecting me, and I don't want to let down the kids." Since her parents moved to California and left her alone, she had spent just about every holiday at the Christmas Cove Children's Home. The North Pole Lodge--a local ski resort built to look like a castle--collected gifts for the children all season and then Santa delivered them on Christmas Eve. "Besides, seeing the children open their gifts is the highlight of my Christmas." She wrapped her arms around Jocelyn and pulled her in for a hug. She and Jocelyn had been friends since high school, and now they worked together. Jocelyn was her best friend. Kiki could tell her anything, knowing that Jocelyn would take it to the grave before she would tell anyone.
"Okay," Jocelyn replied just as Caden and his parents approached. "But if you change your mind--"
"I know where you are." Kiki slid into her warm winter coat. "You all have fun tonight. I know I will." She gave her an impish smile and leaned in to whisper, "And don't do anything I wouldn't do."
Jocelyn laughed. "Merry Christmas!"
"You, too!"
Kiki headed out the door and a cold wind blew through her coat. She hurried to button it up and adjusted the scarf around her neck. She looked around at the town and the colorful lights, enjoying the Danish and Swiss architecture of the houses and shops, reminiscent of the North Pole. Even though she had grown up in Christmas Cove--having moved here from California at a young age--she still never ceased to be amazed by the town known for celebrating Christmas all year long. There was nowhere in the world that she would rather live.
When another gust of wind and snow rushed toward her, she hurried to her dark blue Mustang, unlocked the door, and slid inside, then set her purse on the driver's seat. She hurried to turn on the engine and listened as it roared to life. Even though she came from an affluent family, she lived on what she made from working at the jewelry store. She couldn't afford a lot, but her Mustang was her baby and the one luxury that she afforded herself. Sparkling snow fell through the headlights when she turned the lights on and pulled onto the street, headed toward the Christmas Cove Children's Home.
Years before, there hadn't been enough foster families to take the children in, so a wonderful couple, Mr. and Mrs. Chaisen, opened the Children's Home. Soon, the townspeople took the home under their wing and made sure the children were well cared for. Ever since her parents had moved to California, leaving her alone, she spent most of her free time volunteering at the Children's Home or at the church, singing in the choir. She had made a lot of great memories for herself in Christmas Cove. When she visited the children at the Children's Home, not only was it good for the children, but she didn't feel quite so alone, either. 
Kiki pulled past Santa's Workshop, a local toy store where the employees took their jobs as Santa's elves very seriously; and past the other shops, reminiscent of Santa Claus and the North Pole. She made a left and drove past Mario's Italian Pizzeria, and soon pulled down the driveway leading to the huge yellow house that had become the Christmas Cove Children's Home.
Mr. and Mrs. Chaisen had both passed away a few months before--first Mr. Chaisen and then his wife--and their wills stated that they had donated the home and the ten acres surrounding it to the town to be used for the sole purpose of providing a home for children in need. It was the only Children's Home around, so they took in children from the surrounding communities, as well.
Lights were strung all around the house, illuminating the back as well as the front, casting a riot of colorful light across the pristine white snow. Cars were parked in the back parking lot and along the side of the house. Looks like the whole town came out, Kiki thought to herself as she miraculously found an open parking spot. Kiki looked up and said a quick prayer of thanks, grateful that she didn't have to park far away and walk in the falling snow. With the ten acres of land, there was always room to park. But on busy occasions, the walk may be farther than expected.
Kiki locked her purse in the trunk so she wouldn't have to worry about it, and then hurried inside, out of the cold. A gust of wind and snow followed her as she quickly closed the door behind her. "Man, it's cold out there!"
"It sure is." Evelyn Davis reached for her coat, greeting her at the door. "You go on in and warm yourself by the fire. Everyone's here."
"Thank you, Mrs. Davis."
Kiki had known Mrs. Davis since high school. Her son, Taren, had been a senior when she was a junior. He had been the town football star and jock, playing every sport imaginable. Kiki's crush on him since high school had never faded, but he had married his high school sweetheart, Scarlett Young.
In high school, the only class Kiki and Taren had together was study hall. During the course of the year, they had become friends, but Taren had been completely out of reach. He and Scarlet had been together throughout high school, and Kiki would never have done anything to come between them. But Scarlet had been a cheerleader and Kiki- wasn't. At that time, she was going through an Emo phase and had immersed herself into her art. She loved to paint, draw, and sculpt. If it was art, Kiki had tried it and had succeeded at all of it.
Over the years, every man Kiki had ever dated had never quite measured up to Taren. But besides being muscular and overly handsome, he had a good heart. In class, when they became bored, she and Taren had shared many laughs at the expense of Mrs. Li, their no-nonsense Asian study hall teacher. In high school, Kiki had considered Taren a friend. 
As an adult, Kiki stopped dying her hair black, letting it go back to her natural auburn color, stopped wearing black eyeliner, threw away her skull T-shirts, and started volunteering at the Children's Home. She was surprised when his mother started working there, too.

"What exactly does your boss want?" she questioned Diana with furrowed brows. She is wondering who is this boss that Diana is talking about.
Arthur who was silent and cold all this time passed a paper to Laurie.
"We want you to back out from being a beneficiary of the GBC Auction Ball," Arthur said in a cold and intimidating tone.
"You don't have to sound so scary in saying that, you know." Diana rolled her eyes at Arthur. He looked at her and shrugged his shoulders.
"He is the right-hand man of our boss," Diana explained. "Please excuse his cold demeanor. He was trained as a soldier."
Laurie nodded her head while looking at Diana then back at Arthur.
"We know that Aivy is threatening you. So, the Twelve Army will protect you and your family from her." Arthur stated.
Twelve Army? When she heard it, Laurie glanced at the paper in her hand and her eyes widened in surprise.  
"Does this mean, your boss works for Twelve Army?" Laurie asked. She had heard of the Twelve Army and how prestigious and ruthless they are.  
Diana cocked her head. "Well, you could say that." Then she smiled. Well technically, their boss is the wife of the Chairman of Twelve Army so it should be.
Aside from protection from the Twelve Army, it was also stated in the paper that The Children of Mt. Celandine will be provided with an aide in whatever aspects. They will also help The Children of Mt. Celandine gets acknowledgment from the government to become a formal school. All of this help will come from the Robin Hood Society. But it was not mentioned in the papers.  
And so, with that, Aivy called the Chairman of GBC Auction Ball to say that The Children of Mt. Celandine will back out.
"It's Miss Laurie Como. She called to say that The Children of Mt. Celandine will back out as one of our  beneficiaries." Mr. Gandy said, looking at Lance in disbelief after receiving a call from Laurie.
"See, I told you. Miss Laurie Como is a person that will never seize an opportunity for her personal gain." Lance said with a smug smile.
While Diana and Arthur were having a meeting with Laurie Como. Lance is having a meeting with Mr. Gandy.  
He told Mr. Gandy Aivy's plan of taking advantage of The Children of Mt. Celandine.
"Did you think that Aivy will donate the Massive J to the charity auction? It is one of her most precious collections." Lance stated knowing that Mr. Gandy is not aware of Aivy's collection. He never mentions that Massive J was Galaxy.
"What collection?"  
"Aivy has a collection of fancy color diamonds. And she preferred it vivid, just like Massive J and Golden Red. She only lacks a fancy red diamond. So why would she let go of her fancy blue diamond?" Lance remarked with a raised brow.  
"I'm telling you, she already hired someone to bid for the Massive J for her. And she will bid for the Golden Red. Whatever price it may take. she wouldn't hesitate, because she already planned for it. She had someone from the GBC Auction Ball secure a place for The Children of Mt. Celandine as a beneficiary. And whatever amount you will be giving them, Aivy will collect it later on."
"She's just playing you all with her tricks. She's making a fool of everyone. Well, except us." Lance said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Mr. Gandy is now fuming in anger. How dare that woman to ruin the clean record of the GBC Auction Ball? If the public finds out that they favor an organization that barely qualifies with their requirements, everyone will doubt their righteousness.
"What should we do?" Mr. Gandy asked Lance knowing his reputation, he knew that he could trust him although he doesn't know whom he worked for.
"Leave Aivy for us to handle," Lance said directly.
Mr. Gandy looked at Lance as if calculating his words. Lance would like them to keep everything as secret and save them the hassle of dealing with Aivy. Aivy has been taking advantage of not just The Children of Mt. Celandine and the GBC Auction Ball and they were saying that they will handle Aivy just like that?
"What would you get out of this?" Nr. Gandy questioned him.  
Lance smiled. "Mm... let's just say, Aivy owes a lot to my Boss."
Mr. Gandy looked almost convinced. "We are not going to do anything?"  
"There is something you could do for us," Lance said with a mischievous smile.  
Keeping this information is one of them and presenting the beneficiaries on the last part is another thing. And it is not done yet.  
After the ball, Lance went towards Lily's apartment after he made sure that Diana was picked up by Leo. Usually, he would spend Christmas Eve at Rendezvous then his Christmas Day would be spent with his family. But this year, it is different. He made a promise to Lily that they will be spending Christmas Eve together. This is going to be the first time that Lance is going to spend Christmas Eve with his girlfriend and he has no problem with that. He was excited.
"Aren't you coming home tonight?" Madam Kelly is still persuading Lily to come home for Christmas Eve but Lily is adamant that she will be spending Christmas Eve with Lance.
"Mom, I told you I am going to celebrate Christmas Eve with Lance. I'll be coming with you tomorrow for Christmas. Okay?"  
"Oh, God! Just because you know that I am highly in favor of Lance, you can just do whatever you want Lilybeth! Understandably, your brother and sister would celebrate Christmas Eve on their own because they already have a family of their own. And you, Lilybeth! You aren't married yet! Are you just gonna let me and your father spend Christmas Eve alone?"  
Urgh...there goes her mom's chant. Lily rolled her eyes as she leaned back on the sofa scratching the space between her brows.  
Every year, Lily will only be the one spending Christmas Eve with her parents since Leticia is already married and prefers to spend it with her family at their own home and Jacob has been abroad. She wanted to spend it with them because she knows how lonely it will be with just the two of them but she also wanted to spend it with Lance because it is going to be their first Christmas Eve together and she wants it to be special.  
That was the scene when Lance entered Lily's apartment. Since the two of them got together, Lily gave him a spare keycard of her apartment but he rarely used it. He just keeps it for emergency purposes.  
Lily didn't hear the door click open because all this time, her phone is on her ear and her mom's voice is ringing.
She was startled to see Lance standing in front of her with an inquiring look.  
Lily quickly understands that look and opens her mouth to say the word 'mom' without a sound while pointing at her phone.  
Lance nodded his head and walked over to the sofa to sit beside her while taking off his tux leaving only his dress shirt. Lily watched as Lance unbuttoned a few top buttons of his dress shirt and she seemed to have not heard of her mom's nagging on the phone.
Lance's body is not as buff as Jacob or Arthur's team but he is fit with muscles in the right place. His body and looks could pass as a model. And Lily finds him sexy. She was biting her lips when she noticed that Lance was looking at her with a raised brow.  
She blinked and averted her gaze. She talked to her mom for a couple of more minutes before she finally persuaded her mom to hang up.
After hanging up she let out a deep sigh. She leaned her back and head on the sofa with exhaustion. Lance chuckled and pulled Lily in his embrace. "Was it that exhausting?"
Lily snuggled closer to Lance's body and nodded her head with pout lips like a child. Lance tightened his embrace.  
Then after a while, he said, "How about we spend Christmas Eve with them?"
Lily pulled herself from Lance's embrace. Her eyes were sparkling when she said. "Are you serious?" Of course, she loved the idea but she just cannot bring herself to ask him.  
Lance nodded his head, "That is if they don't mind having an outsider?"  
Lily frowned. "What outsider are you talking about? You just don't know how delighted my mom is when she found out that I am now dating you. I wonder what you did to make them favor you that much?"  
"Are you doubting my charisma?" Lance questioned with a grin. He definitely knows why her parents favored him over Andrew.  
"Of course not! You are the most charismatic man I've ever met."  
Lance pinch Lily's nose. "You're such an ass-kisser." But he was surprised when Lily suddenly shifted her position and now straddled him.  


"Being married to you means the world to me. Don't worry about my family, they knew, and they were much eager to protect you. I don't care if my life would be in danger as long as you are safe. My life is not normal without you in it. Ah… what was the last one?" Jacob stopped and rubbed his chin trying to remember J's last word before he interfered.

"Ah! Right!" Jacob's eyes gleamed when he seemed to remember. "I was so glad that your grandfather dragged me into this messy and complicated life of yours. Because if he didn't, I would be forcing myself into your life, even if you don't want to."

"Was I able to answer all your questions, Mrs. Jacob Parker?" Jacob asked, emphasizing how he addresses J as Mrs. Jacob Parker indicating that whoever she is, she would still be his wife.

~~~

At the age of 10, J's parents died in an ambush leaving her in the care of her grandfather who years later sent her away along with her best friend to hide her and her identity from those who would try to kill her after her parents.

20 years later, a lot of things had already happened. Her grandfather died. She is back in the country for good though still hiding her identity. Everything was peaceful until a man came claiming her as his wife.

Since then, her peaceful life flipped upside down. People who want her dead found her but his so-called husband never left her. He was even willing to kill and be killed just to protect her.

All the children from all ages were called to come inside their activity hall. The social workers were also stationed to different corners in order to bring organization and to make sure that they can tend to the children's needs immediately.
"Good morning, everyone!" the host, which was also one of the social workers greeted them. "Today, we will have a special celebration and to spend an early Christmas with our benefactors."
"Why so early?" one of the kids asked in curiosity.
"They are very busy people. And our young madam, is pregnant so the doctor doesn't want her to get tired. Do you get what I'm saying?"
"Yes, big sister Jiya." the children answered simultaneously.
"However, they wanted to spend Christmas with us. So, for us to do that, we are going to celebrate and early Christmas."
"Yay! Will we get presents, too?"
"That's a surprise for later." Jiya cheerfully stated leaving everyone in suspense. "Now, let us welcome sir Travis to give us a inspirational message."
Originally, it was Jillyanna would come on stage but because of her health and her pregnancy, they changed it to Travis.
His words were simple to make sure that the children will understand him. He encouraged them and gave them blessings of support. The children were all happy hearing him and they knew that they were never abandoned in the orphanage.
Their parents might have left them or abandoned them but they were all thankful that they ended at the orphanage. A place were everyone was taken cared of and people didn't compete for food or attention. They were well-provided.
After Travis gave his message, the children performed on the stage. A group of little girls and boys danced to a remix song of jingle bells and other Christmas songs.
"Even though these children ended up here, I can see that they are still happy." Jillyanna commented while she clapped her hands happily to the beat of the song.
"It's because of you and your father." Atty. Lewis responded with a faint smile. "The children here, even without their parents, are well-provided. There are teachers who taught them different things. They learned basic education and there are scholarships available for them if they decided to go to school. Even if no one would adopt them, they didn't mind it as long as someone would welcome them home in this orphanage."
"Thank you for managing this place all this time." Jillyanna mumbled.
"It's my honor to bring happiness to these kids."
After the dance, everyone gave them a ruond of applause.
Everybody thought that they would proceed to another intermission number but what came out on stage was unexpectedly a huge Santa Claus with a huge bag.
"Eh? Santa Claus?!"
"Ahhh! It's Santa Claus!"
The children cheerfully chirped and screamed to see Hawk in a Santa Claus costume. Even Jillyanna was laughing happily beside Travis. He had never seen her this happy for a long time now.
"I guess this idea is worth of my time thinking since I can see you laughing." Travis whispered close to her making Jillyanna's eyes widened in amazement.
"This is your idea?!"
"Yup. I thought that since this is an early Christmas celebration, why not let the kids feel that it is really Christmas. Since we are giving them presents, why not let Santa give it to them. I talked to Jackie and Savannah about this and they both suggested for Hawk to do it."
"Wow! I didn't know you were doing a lot behind my back."
"Are you happy?"
"Hm. I am really happy. Thank you for putting so much effort to this place."
"This place is their home. A home should be full of life and happiness."
Jade could sense the happiness from Jillyanna and she was happy, too. She can tell from Jillyanna's voice that she was kind and virtuous.
Kids don't lie. Kids could see if someone has a bad intention or good intention. Kids could easily learn things. With their innocent and blank slate of minds, whatever you teach them, they would instantly believe you.
That is why, building the children's foundation in values should start from a very young age. You should teach them all the good things before she would know how to make her own decision. In that way, she can always balance the pros and cons of each action.
At this point, in Jade's mind, she only wanted to have a baby sister. Now she got a baby brother, it's up to Jillyanna and everyone older than her as to how they can guide her.
"I don't believe in Santa Claus." Jade commented making Jillyanna looked sullen towards her. "I didn't get my wish in the past years but I believe in you big sister."
"You believe in me?" Jillyanna questioned since she didn't know what the little girl meant. "What do you mean?"
"Santa didn't fulfill my wish but you will, right? You said that I will have a baby brother." Jade's clear eyes was staring right back at her, as if she was looking straight to Jillyanna's soul.
Jillyanna reached out her hands and touched the little girl's small cheeks. "I will give you a baby brother. Tomorrow, I will come back so wait for me, okay."
"Okay."
They were busy chatting while the other children were playing games. They were asked to bring something to Jiya and the first person to get that item to her will get a present from Hawk a.k.a Santa Claus.
After ten rounds, Santa Claus made an exit and the program continued. Jiya was a really good host. She made sure that everyone was enjoying and she made sure that they behave whenever she was talking.
"Earlier, we watched our little brothers and sisters dancing on stage. This time, let's welcome our second group who will give us a song. A round of applause please."
A boisterous clappings of hands rang inside the hall as the group of teens, both male and female, came up on stage.
"They are our mini band here." Atty. Lewis informed Jillyanna and Travis.
"There are so many talented children here." Travis responded while keeping his eyes on the stage.
"I thought I'd miss this..."


Jilyanna's face paled when she saw the man coming out from an expensive car. His face was as handsome as she last remembered but his dark eyes were cold and penetrating. 

His lips pulled up into a devilish smile making her heart faltered in its beat.
"Why don't you return with me my sweet wife?" his voice was husky as he beckoned her to come closer.

"I'm not your wife sweetheart. You've mistaken me for someone else." Jilyanna played along but her eyes were scanning her surroundings for possible escape.

"You're not? Then give me back my sperm."

Jilyanna choked at his words. She did promise him to be his wife, but she didn't want to get married at all. However, she did steal his sperm and it's over a month old.
