Chapter Six

Nick followed Josh and Daniel as they walked up and down the aisles full of fresh cut trees at the garden center. The smell of fresh pine reminded Nick of happy Christmases he had as a child. Josh stood another tree up for Daniel to inspect, and he hoped this Christmas would be a very happy one, too.

He fought a grin when Daniel shook his head back and forth and pointed to another tree. Josh put down the one he held and stood the other one up. This had gone on for a while now; it became comical watching Josh and Daniel pick up and look at the same trees over and over, never quite getting the right one.

It felt good, Josh and his nephew spending quality time together. It was apparent they were having a good time and that both of them loved each other. They looked lighter and happier. Almost as if the weight of the world didn't sit on their shoulders anymore. Nick hoped it was a positive sign for things to come.

He glanced beside him and noticed a fairly large tree in a crowd of much smaller ones. He carefully stood it up and gave it a good once over. One side was full and almost perfectly formed, but the other side had a huge gap in it.

"I think it's a perfect tree, Nick! I can't wait to get it home and decorate it. It's going to look so beautiful when we're all done with it."

Nick smiled down at Daniel, then looked over at Josh and winked.

An impish grin covered Josh's face. He walked up behind Daniel and ruffled his hair. "I think the boss has spoken, Nick. We'll get this one home and make it the prettiest tree we've ever had."

They carried the tree over to the cashier and paid for it, along with a shiny red and green tree stand. The men tied the tree to the top of Josh's black SUV with some rope until they thought it would be secure enough for the trek to the pizza parlor and back home.

Neither Nick nor Josh thought pineapple on their pizza sounded very appealing, so Daniel got his very own small pepperoni and pineapple pizza. Nick and Josh decided to share a large meat lover's between the two of them.

They went home and quickly took the tree inside the house and placed it in its shiny new tree stand. They
