Chapter 199: Winter Holiday (PT:1)
As all of the gifts had been finished Daedalus decided to go and relax by the fire. It was now around noon and tomorrow would be the winter holiday. Daedalus was pleased that he got everything done in time so when he did finally get into the living room and into his chair, he almost immediately fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The morning light quietly broke into the darkness of the living room illuminating the sleeping form of a young adult. This was clearly Daedalus with his short black hair and slightly pale face. Slowly Daedalus moved as the light made him flinch back slightly.
Before he could even really start to get up Daedalus was suddenly tackled by to smaller forms. This was Rose and Reginn, they had woken up early as they where looking forward to getting their presents. Towards the door to the room Andromeda could be seen walking in while lightly chuckling.
Daedalus could only sigh at the fact he was trapped in a hug from the twins before standing up abruptly while carrying them. The two yelped in suprise at this but quickly stated giggling. Daedalus only smiled and sat on the sofa beside Andromeda who quickly sat down next to him.
As they all sat down and cuddled under the warmth of the early morning and the fireplace, Daedalus could see Richard looking down at his feet with a slightly sad look in his eyes. Daedalus then called out "Richard, come over here."
Richard who heard this quietly walked over while biting his lips slightly, however before he could say anything Daedalus pulled him in for a hug with everyone else. Daedalus did this for two reasons, to respect his daughters feeling and because he truly felt as if Richard was a part of the family. As he was pulled into the hug Richard began to silently cry, it seemed that he was feeling lonely as it was his first real Christmas, as he put it, without his family.
Rose seemed slightly worried as he was crying and hugged him a bit tighter. Reginn seemed to notice but just smiled slightly causing Daedalus' lips to twitch upwards slightly. Andromeda saw this and just chuckled quietly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the warm moment passed Daedalus got up and said "Everyone go get the presents."
Before he went to sleep Daedalus had wrapped the presents he made, so he just pulled them out of his spatial ring as everyone left the room. Andromeda however did the same and they chuckled while simultaneously thinking 'We should get them spatial rings as secondary gifts.'
A short while later Daedalus and Andromeda could be seen laughing with eachother about something. As they where doing this Rose, Reginn and Richard came running back in each carrying a few wrapped presents. Daedalus smiled at Rose as he saw that she was carrying one of the presents more carefully than the rest.
Rose seeing this blushed a little, but no one else except Andromeda and Daedalus noticed. Andromeda looked questioningly at Daedalus but he just gestured 'later'.
