Christmas Surprise

Chapter 1

Ray was driving into town Miss Ellie and Jock had invited him to the House for Christmas morning, and for dinner. This is the first time he was invited. He normally spend Christmas alone or sometimes he would drive out to his Aunt Maggie's place but he has not seen her in years. He had to buy everyone a gift, and he knew that would be hard because he knew he had no idea what to buy anyone. He could handle buying Christopher, and John Ross , and maybe even Jock but the others he had no idea what to get. He got to the mall, and parked his car, and went inside. He saw people shopping, and carrying bags, and Ray felt like he was going to be sick he hated shopping, and he hated the crowds, and the people pushing, and fighting to get what they wanted. He decided to focus he went to the Children store, and found two toys he knew Christopher, and John Ross would love. He walked by a store, and he saw some fancy lighters, and he knew Jock loved to have his occasion cigar so he went in, and got him a lighter it was quite expensive, but Jock was good to him so paying almost a weeks salary to pay for the lighter was worth it. He was walking around trying to find something for Miss Ellie, Lucy, Pam, Bobby and Sue Ellen and JR. he knew whatever he bought they would look down on it. He was getting angry, thirsty, and tired when he decided to grab something to eat. He turned, and banged into a young lady making her drop her purse. She bent down to get her purse when Ray said sorry.

"No problem it was my fault , I was not paying attention, I am having the worst day"

"No I think I am but can I buy you a coffee, I need a break from shopping"

"Sure I would love a diet Pepsi if that is ok"

"Sure the restaurant is right over there" Ray pointed , and the lady followed him they went inside, and they were taken to a small table at the back. Ray sat down putting his bags down as she sat down, as the waitress brought two menus for them to read.

Ray smiled, "I could use a meal would you like something to eat"?

"Sure that is very kind of you" Ray said the lady wanted a Diet Pepsi and he wanted a coffee. He told them to give them a few minutes to go over the menu. The waiter said they would be back with the drinks.

Ray said he was going to have burger, and fries, and Jessie said she was going to have a BLT sandwich with a salad. Ray finally smiled as he said, "Oh my God I am being rude I am Ray what is your name"

"Jessie"

"Nice to meet you Jessie but I guess you didn't do much shopping yet where is your bags"?

"I only have one person to buy for but I want the perfect gift but what is the perfect gift"

"It depends on who you are buying for"?

"My Daughter she is 4 years old, and she is perfect but I know all Mother's say that but she is"

"Do you have a picture of her"?

"Yes" Jessie pulled out her wallet, and was showing Ray photos of her little girl. Ray smiled she was adorable she looked just like her Mom.

'She is cute what is her name"?

"Madison but I normally call her Maddy"

"Cute"

The waiter came over, and they gave him their order, and were drinking their drinks, and talking, and Ray found Jessie delightful, and he really was enjoying himself. They were finished eating , and they were leaving when Ray asked her to help him pick out gifts for the ladies in his group. Jessie came up with a wonderful idea for something to give Lucy, and told Ray to give the couples a gift card, but she helped him find Miss Ellie something really special. Ray got her a necklace but he hoped she would like it but he was sure she would it was beautiful. They were walking around after he got the gift cards, and he asked Jessie where she wanted to get her little girl a gift.

Jessie said the Children store so they went there, and Ray could see her looking at the price of everything, and he soon realize Jessie maybe was having financial problems but he didn't want to hurt her feelings. Jessie walked over with a little doll, and the smile on her face made Ray smile as Jessie said.

"She will love this but she will call this doll Annie all her dolls have the name Annie"

"Is there a reason"?

"No I don't think so but I know Madison will love this"

"Maybe I can buy her something, I would like to do that for you"

"No I barely know you but you have done enough for me already buying me a drink, and lunch"

"Jessie can I ask you something, and if you want to say no I would completely understand"

"Sure you can"

Ray smiled, "Would you like to join me Christmas morning for breakfast, and a fun day with me, and some of my friends, they are like family to me"?

"I can't I have Madison but thank you for offering"

"You both can come you can spend the night at my place in the guest room, and we can go over to Southfork first thing in the morning. Madison would love it, and there will be kids there for her to play with"

"You can not ask me , and not ask them if it is ok first"

"I am sure they will be fine but if you give me your phone number I can call you"

Jessie smiled she was so embarrassed she was having financial issues she was laid off work. She was a single Mother her Ex Husband left her right after Madison was born, and she was struggling but she was doing fine until her company decided to lay her off right before Christmas. She had to choose between Rent, food or TV , and phone it wasn't much of a choice. Madison was fine but she wanted to make this Christmas special, and she knew she had to buy her a few things, and make her a deceit meal, and maybe next Christmas she would be better off.

Ray touched her shoulder making Jessie look at him but she whispered.

"I have no phone but I really have to go" She turned to pay for the doll but Ray knew he couldn't let her walk away because he would regret it the rest of his life. He had to make her say yes because he knew Christmas was a time for giving, and being with friends, and family, but he knew Jessie was lonely, and so was he, and just maybe this Christmas would be one he would remember as the day he found someone to spend his life with now that would be a special kind of present that he would be forever grateful for.

Chapter 2

Ray had been getting his house ready for 2 days. He even bought a Christmas tree, and bought some gifts for Madison he prayed Jessie would be ok with it. He was so excited, and he knew he was acting like a fool but this is going to be the first Christmas Eve he had someone to spend it with. He thought he would order dinner in but he bought tons of snacks, and hot chocolate, and Christmas movies. He sat down putting his hands to his face he needed to calm down he didn't want to act to strange, and scare Jessie , and her Daughter off. He almost jumped out of skin when he heard a car pull up, and he knew it was her. He got up running to the door but he stopped himself so he looked out the curtain, and saw her getting out of a cab. He kicked his foot for not offering to pick her up he just thought she had a car. He leaned against the door when he heard knocking he waited a second but he finally opened the door, and Jessie smiled.

"I hope we are not to early"

"No you are right on time please come in it must be freezing out there"

'Yes it is" Jessie came in with Madison beside her holding her little knapsack. Jessie put her bag down, and knelt down to Madison, and whispered.

"What do you say Sweetie"?

Madison walked over to Ray, and said, "Thank you for having us Mr. Krebbs"

Ray smiled, "It is my pleasure Madison, would you like to take your boots, and coat off, and come, and put your presents under the tree"?

"Yes" Madison sat down pulling her boots off but Jessie laughed.

"Sweetie you are wearing a dress you have to be lady like" Madison got up handing her Mom her coat as she grabbed the bag , and ran over to the tree putting the gifts under. She turned to Ray, "Two are my gifts from Mommy, and one is for Mommy I made it at school, and Mommy bought you something too"

Ray turned, "You said"

Jessie blushed "I wanted to it is just something small to thank you for everything."

"Let me show you the guest room, and you can put your things inside"

Madison walked over, "Mama this has my name on it". Ray smiled, "Yes there is a few things for you sweetie, I hope you like everything"

Madison had tears in her eyes as she whispered, "This is going to be the best Christmas Ever" as she went into Ray's arms, and hugged him so tight making Jessie start to cry because she knew she did her best but Madison deserved so much more than what she could afford to buy but Madison was the most amazing gift , and seeing her happy was making Jessie overwhelmed.

Ray looked over and saw Jessie wipe tears from her eyes, and he got up.

"Jessie no tears this is suppose to be a happy time"

"I am happy Ray, but maybe I should bring my bags into the guestroom, "

Ray smiled as he grabbed her bags as Madison sat in front of the Christmas tree looking at the lights. Jessie smiled, "She will be fine for a minute she could sit there for hours she loves Pretty things"

Ray smiled as he took Jessie to the guest room to put her things away.

Chapter 3

Ray put Jessie's bags on the bed, and turned to her.

"You can put stuff in those drawers they are empty, and there is room in the closet. I hope this room is big enough for you, and Madison"

Jessie smiled, "This room is bigger than my bedroom, and Madison's put together your place is so beautiful"

"Well I have lots of food maybe I should get out there Madison might get scared why don't you put stuff away, and I will get Madison something to drink"

"Sure but Ray thank you for inviting us to your home it was very kind of you"

"My pleasure"

Jessie smiled, "I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me, I don't normally stay with men, I just met. I don't know what it is about you but you seem so kind, and sweet, and I"

"Hush Jessie you can trust me, and I normally spend Christmas alone but having you, and Madison here with me will make it real special. The Ewing's are great people but they are very loud, and I don't want them to scare you because they will be direct, I hope you don't mind"

"I will be fine, I hope they don't mind you bringing us"

"No Miss Ellie , and the family are happy that I have someone to spend time with. I think they were worried I would be alone forever"

Jessie smiled, "Yeah I know being lonely is kind of a downer"

"Yeah" They smile as Madison came running in , and ran over to Ray , and he knelt down, and said.

"Sweetie were you scared being out there alone"?

"No but someone is at the door"

Ray got up, "Come lets see who it is". Madison took Ray's hand, and they walked out with Jessie following behind them. Ray walked to the door, and smiled seeing Jock, and Miss Ellie standing there with some gifts, and a plate of sweets.

"Jock, Miss Ellie I was not expecting you" Ray said but Jock walked in saying it was cold outside. Miss Ellie came in, and Ray shut the door as Miss Ellie handed Ray the plate of Sweets but than she turned to Jessie, and put her hand out.

"Hello my name is Ellie you must be Jessie"

"Yes, and this is Madison my daughter" Miss Ellie turned, and Madison smiled, and Ellie couldn't help but smile she was way to adorable. Madison ran over giving her a hug, and Jock smiled he could see Miss Ellie was taken by Madison already.

Ray went to the kitchen while Jock followed him, and touched his shoulder.

"She is beautiful, and her daughter is cute is it serious"?

"Jock I told you we just met but if I was being honest I would like it to be serious"

"Than make it happen you need a good woman, and I have a feeling about her Ray"

"You just met her Jock will you slow down"

"Boy you are getting older it is time you settle down don't blow this Ray"

Ray gave Jock a look he turned seeing Jessie behind them just staring.

"Sorry if you heard all that I tell it like it is. Ray has been alone, and he has had lady friends but it is time he settles down, and finds a good woman who will take care of him"

Jessie smiled, "I am flattered you think I am that woman but I think we need to get to know each other Sir"

"My name is Jock, and I knew the minute I saw Ellie she is the one. You both are lonely, and that little girl in there deserves a good family life, and living here with Ray would be perfect. You would have a good man, the land is beautiful, and you would have the Ewing's what else is there to want"?

Jessie smiled as Jock walked out of the kitchen, Ray walked over , and whispered. "I told you they were direct, I am so sorry Jessie"

"Don't be I like the Ewing's already" Ray smiled as he walked over giving her a kiss but he stopped, and than took her hand as the two of them walked back to the living room to see what Jock, Ellie and Madison were doing.

Chapter 4

Jessie and Ray walk into the living room, and see Miss Ellie sitting on the couch with Madison while Jock sat beside them. Madison was talking she was so excited, and Jessie smiled she loved seeing Madison so happy, she felt tears of joy come to her eyes, and Ray asked her if she was ok.

"Yes, I am happy, your family is so wonderful"

"Would you like to help me in the kitchen"?

"Sure" Ray turned asking Jock, and Miss Ellie if they would like a coffee"?

Miss Ellie smiled, "Yes a coffee would be great" Jock smiled, "I would love a bourbon it is Christmas"

"Ok we will be right back" Jessie, and Ray left, and Jock smiled as Ellie asked Madison what she wanted for Christmas.

"I want a doll, and I want a Bunny, and a coloring book, and lipstick"

Miss Ellie laughed, "You are to young for lipstick Sweetie"

"I will only wear it sometimes but Santa has to bring me it in my stocking"

Jock smiled, "Don't grow up so fast Angel why do you want a bunny"?

"They are cute, and they jump, and I can play with it everyday, and feed it, and I will be it's Mommy"

"You want a real Bunny"?

"Yes, I didn't tell Mommy because it is a secret, I told Santa when I sat on his lap. I have a name I am going to call it Maggie May, my Mom loves that song she plays it when she is cleaning. I have been a really good girl so Santa will get it for me, you will see. I try to help her clean but I am little so I can only help a little"

Jock, and Ellie listened to her but Jock got up, and walked to the kitchen, and caught Jessie and Ray kissing, and he laughed as he walked over pouring his bourbon himself.

"Sorry we were coming in now, we were just" Jock laughed not letting her finish as he walked over, and whispered.

"I know what kissing is young lady"

"I am so embarrassed"

"Don't be but you may have a problem tomorrow morning"

'What do you mean"?

"Well what did you buy Madison for Christmas"?

"A doll, and some coloring books, and a cute dress, and a few other little things, that is all I can afford"

"No I am not asking to make you feel bad but she thinks she is going to get a bunny, I mean a living jumping around messy bunny"

"No she never asked for a bunny"?

"She is in there telling Miss Ellie she is getting a bunny because she asked Santa for one. She will be hurt if she doesn't have one, I just want to prepare you"

Jessie looked at Ray, and he could see she went pale , and he could see she was about to cry. Jock could see he upset her, and he hated it.

"Jessie I didn't want to upset you" Jock said

"How could I not know she wanted a bunny, I am a terrible Mother"?

Ray touched her arm, "She will love what you give her, and we will explain to her that Santa couldn't bring a Bunny in his sleigh"

Jessie wiped tears from her eyes, "Thank you, we should get Miss Ellie her coffee" She grabbed the tray, and walked into the living room, and put it down handing Miss Ellie her coffee, and Madison her soda. Jessie sat down, and tried to smile but she felt horrible, that her baby girl deserved to get what she wanted for Christmas, and knowing she was going to let her down made her feel horrible, but she had to pull herself together, and make her Daughter understand.

They all talked, and drank, and had some cookies. It was getting late Jock, and Miss Ellie had to go home to say goodnight to the boys before they went to bed. Madison gave them a hug, and Ray got their gifts together, and they said their goodbyes, as Ray and Jessie shut the door, Madison ran over grabbing her book, and ran over to Ray asking him to read her the Christmas story book her Mommy bought. Ray lifted her up, and they walked over to the couch, and he sat down with her on his lap, and started reading to her as Jessie sat beside them smiling thinking Ray was really a great guy, and she didn't have really good luck in the romance department, but maybe her luck was taking a turn for the better.

[Sanda]

Chapter 5

Ray was reading to Madison she was falling asleep in his arms. Ray looked over at Jessie who was very quiet.

"Jessie we should put her down she is exhausted" Jessie smiled but Ray could see she was feeling bad about the bunny. They walked to the guest room and put Madison down. She was so tired she didn't wake up. They tucked her in than they left the night light on as they left the room. Ray took Jessie's hand as they walked to the living room.

"You sit down while I get us something to drink"

A soda would be great" Jessie said

Ray went into the kitchen got Jessie her soda and himself a beer. He walked in sitting down beside Jessie.

"Do you want to tell me what is wrong"?

"I'm fine I just feel bad my baby girl will be disappointed tomorrow."

" I will get her a rabbit after Christmas she will be fine Jessie"

"That is sweet but I'm her Mother how come she didn't tell me she wanted a Bunny"?

"She told Santa stop being so hard on yourself you didn't know"

"I don't have much but I wanted this to be a perfect Christmas for her"

"Hey it will be now stop this Jessie. I want this to be a special Christmas for you to Jessie" Ray moved close talking her soda from her putting it on the coffee table. He touched her chin as he moved real close bringing his lips over hers as he kissed her passionately making Jessie wrap her arms around him as he laid her back as they continue kissing.
