The house is decorated to the hilt.  Ther funiture has been moved to provide a dance floor.  The chocolate fountain is souping over very nicely as the strawberries, marshmellows and sugar cookies round the fountain.  The food is laid out and the servers are still bringing in more.  The bartenders are cutting up their limes and getting their stations ready...Roxy made sure that there was an unlimitless amount of Jack Daniels.  The DJ is setting up and Roxy and Rayne are upstairs getting ready for the big Christmas Party.  She has invited everyone that works for BUD, right down to the Janitor.  She has bought a gift for everyone and has even hired a Santa Claus to come and distribute them.

She was trying to keep her mind off of the fact that for the first time since he was born AJ wasn't with her.  He was with his Father.  She was going to meet up with them on Christmas Day but AJ has been gone since last Wednesday.  So She and Rayne had been doing some last minute shopping and getting things ready for the company's Holiday Party. 

She tried on about 12 different outfits and settled for wearing a very cute black cocktail dress that complimented her curves nicely.

"He'd love this dress."  She twirls around in front of the mirror.  "He should, he picked it out."  She smiled as she continues to check herself out.  She walks over to her closet and sits down in front of the mirror to give her make-up a touch up.  She doesn't like to wear much but tonight, she was donning the eyeshadow, blush, cover-up and a rouge lipstick that brought out her eyes.  She runs her fingers through her hair then moves to put on her earrings and a necklace that Nova had bought her not too long ago.  looked at herself and just sat staring for a few.

"Another Christmas alone."  She sighs and gets up from her chair and there standing in the doorway is Rayne.

"You aren't alone mom."

She smiles softly, "Yes, Rayne, I know...I just wish Andrew and AJ were here right now."

"Well, he's working and you're leaving first thing in the morning to go and be with them....so don't worry about it."

"I know!  I know!  How do I look?"  Roxy twirls for Rayne.

"You look marvelous!  Now me?"

Rayne was wearing a black backless dress that came to right above her butt.  The front was a halter and it was very fitting until after her hips, where it fell loosely to the floor.

"You look so grown up."  Roxy smiles and then it fades, "Go change."

"Whatever Mom!"

"If Andrew was here you wouldn't even have walked in here with that dress."

"If he was here, I'd be dressed in Amish clothes and my relationship with Jermey would be non-existant."

They both laugh as a familiar ring is coming from Roxy's dresser.  She heads over there and a huge smile forms on her face.  She turns away from Rayne and begins her conversation.

"Hey!  Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too.  How are you guys doing?"  She laughs.  "You guys are crazy. Did you take pictures of his snowangels?  Thanks.  I'll check my email tomorrow.  Yeah, I should be getting there by noon.  Sure."  She waits for a minute and hears her name, "Hey baby!!  How's Mommy's Little Man?  Are you having fun?  Daddy said you played in the snow.  A snowman?  Awww...that's great.  Yes, baby, Mommy will see you tomorrow....uh-huh...I'll be there probably before you wake up from your nap.  I love you too baby.  Let me talk to daddy."  Rayne rolls her eyes and walks out of Roxy's room.  "Hey, what am I wearing?  That black dress you picked out when we were in Vegas.  For the Christmas party...BUD's Christmas party.  Yeah, it's tonight, here at the house.  No the dress isn't too revealing.  I have on a camisole underneath so there isn't too much going on with it.  Oh Andrew.  I'll see you tomorrow.  I love you and goodnight."  She hangs up the phone feeling a bit agitated.

She takes another look in the mirror, takes a deep breath, pulls at the dress left and right, tucking in a boob and tucking in the other; fixing it making it perfect.  She's not sure what to expect of the night all she knows is that she's heading out at 6AM to be with the two men in her life.  She heads out the door.  She is standing at the top of the staircase and can already hear voice downstairs.  The guests are arriving.

She makes her way down the stairs and heads into the lounge area where she meets up with some of the The Domain's Superstars.

"HEY!!  Welcome to my home.  Merry Christmas."

She shakes hands and hugs...
