chuckled, feeling warm down to his bones. He leaned into Jake, resting his head on Jake’s shoulder. “Thank you.”
    “For what?” Jake looped an arm around him and kissed his head.
    “For this.” Remi swept his hand out indicating everything.
    Holding him even tighter, Jake somehow managed to meet his gaze. A slow grin curved his lips. “No. Thank you, pup. This is all you.”
    It wasn’t, but Remi wasn’t going to argue. Standing, he grabbed Jake’s hand, and pulled him toward the kitchen. “Come help me make more cookies and I’ll tell you about the first time Sterling got to actually decorate a tree.”
    “Yeah? Maybe we can find some mistletoe on the way.”
    Remi chuckled. “Yeah.”
    Rhys grunted at something. A loud thud sounded, followed by Sterling’s laughter.
    Remi stopped just short of the kitchen and looked over his shoulder.
    Jake did the same, but didn’t let go of Remi’s hand.
    In the middle of the living room floor, Sterling lay flat on his back with Rhys straddling his hips. The lights and tinsel were caught between them and Rhys was trying to get the homemade plate ornament, clutched against Sterling’s chest. During the tussle the garland ended up on Sterling’s face, and his laughter filled the living room.
    Smiling, Remi shook his head. “He was wrapped up in the garland then too. Lets go find that mistletoe.” He finally had a loving family of his own, complete with a Christmas card perfect holiday.
