Chapter 15

“Okay, you two need to seriously stop drooling over each other and go and play with the kids”

Seeing Aden and Belle sucking each other’s faces off, this kind of behaviour was revolting to Nicole as Aden was like a brother to her. Looking horrified at Aden Nicole changed her tune and smiled and said cheerfully in a loud voice addressing the littlies”Hey kids Santa will be here soon!” Some of the kids conveyed expressions of excitement others didn’t show any signs of emotion. Belle thought it was strange to see children as young as five who weren’t overjoyed about seeing the one and only Santa Clause. She decided to investigate why this was the case.

“Hi sweetie” She said to a little girl called Hannah as she bent down onto her knees.

“Hi” she whispered not daring to turn and face Belle to look her into her eyes.

“Santa will be here very soon! Do you know what you want for Christmas” Belle said in a loving voice.

Hannah shook her head. “There must be something you want for Christmas?” Belle tried again.

“Santa isn’t real….he never gives me anything…” she whispered again.

“Of course he is, this year I promise Santa will be giving you a special gift….but is there anything you want from Santa …you have to think gorgeous” Belle continued trying to convince her that Santa was real. “I want…” she turned around the front of her body was facing Belle but her eyes were focused on the floor. “Yes what would you like Hannah?” Belle said in a delightful voice.

“I wish Santa would make daddy stop hitting mummy. That’s all I want…I want mummy and daddy to love each other again. I want no more fighting, no more screaming, no more crying and no more pain for mummy.” Hannah was only seven years old and had come from an abusive household. Children who witness abuse are also classified victims. Belle didn’t know what to say, no words to fully heal the wound. “Hannah you’re mummy and daddy love you very much remember that….and Santa will bring you any toy or book you desire. Just make sure you write him a letter and post it into the postbox. “Belle and Aden had made a special letterbox in the main office for the children to write a wish list to Santa and post it. “What do you want for Christmas Miss Taylor?” Hannah managed to gain enough courage to look her in the eye. “You know what I would really love beautiful… I want love to have a baby” Just as Belle announced to Hannah that she wanted a children for Christmas Aden walked behind. Belle was not aware that he said standing there and continued to speak.

“Do you think Santa will make my wish come true?” Belle said happily.

“I don’t know…do you think Santa will let me see my parents again?” she asked in disbelief.

“Yes, one day you will. There’s no doubt about it” she said still trying to convince her that miracles come true.

“I think that if Santa is real he’ll give you a baby” Hannah giggled as she thought it was funny that her mentor wanted a child of her own when she was already surrounded by hundreds of children.

“I hope so” Belle flashed a big smile at her.

“What will you call it?” Hannah brushed a strand of hair of out her face.

“Ummm…I’m not too sure…”

“Why don’t you put your name with the daddy’s name…to make a new name” At first Belle didn’t quite catch on and was confused by her suggestion.

“Oh do you mean if I put my name which is Belle with the daddy’s name which is Aden together to make a new name?”

“Yes” she smiled back at her.

“Hmmm…..Beden? Belden? Adelle?” Belle tried putting her name with Aden’s.

“I like the last name you said”

“Adelle….Hmm yeah for a girl that’s a very pretty name”

“Yes I think so too” Aden said out loud letting Belle know that he was standing behind her listening into the conversation.

“Honey…what are you doing….spying on me?” she said pretending to be cross with him.

“No of course not….” Aden rolled his eyes and smiled. “Hmmm….” Belle said out loud making it obvious to him that she was thinking what to say next. “I like Adelle. How sweet is that name.” Aden said casually walked closer to her placing one arm around her shoulder. “What if we have a boy?” Belle said reminding him not to get too carried away. “If we have a boy…well I know what we can’t call him…” he looked over to where Geoff and Nicole were sitting. “What can’t we call our baby…?” Belle asked curiously. “Geoff…Axel….” he articulated. “Oh definitely not Axel” Belle laughed. “Larry….Alf….Angelo….and yeah that’s basically it.” Belle nodded sarcastically. “I like you’re thinking darling….that only leaves about a zillion boys names left.” she added. “I like the name Vaughn….Ben….Aden” Belle smiled as he said his own name. “Yeah I love that name too Aden...such a great name.” Aden winked at her “I know dear”. “What about Ty?” Belle suggested.

“Yeah I like the name Ty…oh Belle look Santa has arrived” Roman had offered to dress up in a Santa suit for the children. If he hadn’t offered Nicole would have forced him to do it anyway.

“Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas!” Roman yelled in a jolly voice. Some of the children literally could have fainted they were all in complete shock to see Santa for the very first time. Roman walked beside Nicole and whispered to her “I’m gonna make you pay for this” he said not letting any of the children hear him. “Suck it up dad” she whispered trying not to burst out in laughter. “Now why doesn’t everybody come and sit on Santa’s lap so you can tell him what you want for Christmas! Ho! Ho!” Roman laughed as he rubbed his stomach. “Hello there…what is your name...?” Roman said attempting to play the part. “Rachel...” she said with one finger in her mouth. “And what would Rachel like for Christmas” Belle and Aden started at Roman with shocked faces. They never imagined Roman being dressed up as Santa. Belle assigned Nicole to find a decent Santa.

“I want my sisters arm to be fixed again...” Rachel was only five years old. Her big sister Tyne had her arm broken by her uncle. Rachel was only young and thought that her arm would be broken forever. “Ho! Ho! Ho! I will heal you sister’s arm…the bone should grow back very soon…would Rachel like anything else?” Rachel thought for a second “I want a Barbie doll”.

“Okay everybody you know what time it is…it’s time to sing some Christmas carols” Belle stood infront of the children. All of the children had been given a candy cane to eat. The children cheered. “Okay ready…” Aden said in a loud festive voice. Belle and Aden stood quietly thinking of a carol to start off with, Nicole jumped right in and started singing “Rudolph the red nose reindeer had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you might even say it glows.” Everybody joined in. The counselors, teachers, speech therapists and other staff members joined in and clapped their hands. Roman concluded the party by saying “Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas to all! May you all have a magnificent Christmas!”

I really hope you like chapter 15. Let me know what you think. :)

Yes, that was rather lovely.[Not sure if Aden saying they can't name their baby after Axel is incredibly inappropriate or a sign that they've moved past what happened.I'll go for the latter.]

Really enjoying this.
