Dani, Mo, Kenna and Will were talking to Katelyn's father and grandparents when the door at the top of the stairs opened. Miss Lily hurried to the top of the stairs along with a still shirtless Cy wearing nothing but Santa pants and hat.

"Honey, you're staring," Mo whispered to her. "Do I need to take you home and remind you who you're married to?"

"Hmmm. Yes, please." She blushed when she felt his hand slide down her back and squeeze her ass all while his face betrayed nothing.

Kenna elbowed her and leaned toward her. Dani lowered her head and waited for Kenna to say something, but her friend just kept staring at Cy. She knew the feeling.

"I mean, come on. That is just not fair to the other Santa Clauses around the world," Kenna whispered.

"Why doesn't he have a shirt on? I could at least lend him my pullover," Will responded while the girls giggled as he and Mo shared an eye roll.

Miss Lily clapped her hands and the crowd went silent with anticipation. Of course, most of the crowd had quieted when the naughty Santa made an appearance. "I am pleased to say that Keeneston has two more residents tonight. What a perfect Christmas miracle! I'll let Uncle Cy here tell you about it, but just know that babies, mothers, and fathers are all doing well. Also, sorry to those of you who bet that Annie would shoot, stab, or otherwise injure Cade during labor. Come to the café on the 27th to collect any winnings." Miss Lily stepped back to the groans of the losers and the cheers of the few victors. Apparently most people bet in favor of maiming or other violence.

"Merry Christmas everyone! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to speak to each of you before the action started. I love being back in Keeneston and so thrilled that for the short time I'm back I got to see all of you," Cy began. "More importantly, I couldn't be happier to be here for the birth of Paige's son, Ryan, and Cade's daughter, Sophie. It was the best Christmas present this Santa could ever have."

Cheer erupted. Toasts were made. Betting lines at the café were being discussed all around them. Dani hugged Kenna and then she and Mo quietly excused themselves when Ahmed made his way downstairs.

"It's okay sweetheart, our time will come," Mo whispered into Dani's ear. He kept her pulled tight against him as they made their way to their car.

Dani just nodded. The pressure was overwhelming. She took a deep breath and looked down Main Street. She pulled up short, causing Mo to stop too.

"It's so peaceful." She looked down the snow-covered street. Christmas lights shone in every window, casting a soft colorful glow on the snow. The snow muffled the noise from the party and it felt as if they were the only ones in the whole town right now.

The door to Southern Charms opened and the moment was lost as people spilled out onto the street to look at a Keeneston Wonderland.
