I Will Be There (My 1st Santa Clause Story)

Chapter 1
The Elf Blues

One day in Santa’s Village Mrs. Clause woke up with a feeling that something isn’t right. Mrs. Clause looked around to see that Santa wasn’t sleeping beside her.
“Where could he have gotten to?” Mrs. Clause asked.
Jingle the elf hears Mrs. Clause than comes in.
“If you mean Santa than he went for a walk.” Jingle answered.
“Oh well when he comes back could you tell him that I want to see him.” Mrs. Clause said.
“Yeah of course Mrs. Clause.” Jingle replied.
“Where are the rest of the elves?” Mrs. Clause asked.
“They are busy making toys.” Jingle answered.
“What about the head elf?” Mrs. Clause asked.
“I haven’t seen him in while but I’m sure where he is that he’s just fine.” Jingle answered.
“He reminds me so much of Santa because he’s always wondering off.” Mrs. Clause answered.
Jingle leaves than goes to where the other elves are.
“Has anyone seen the head elf?” Jingle asked.
Bernard walks up behind Jingle and traps him on the shoulder.
“I’m right here Jingle.” Bernard answered.
“Where did you disappear too?” Jingle asked.
“I went to where I always go when I need to think and get away from everything.” Bernard answered.
“Have you seen Santa?” Jingle asked.
“Yeah I have because he goes to same place I do when he needs to think.” Bernard answered.
“What were you thinking about?” Jingle asked.
“I don’t want to discuss it.” Bernard answered as he walks off.
Hope walks over to Jingle.
“He’s been acting strange lately.” Hope said.
“Yeah I noticed that.” Jingle replied.
“What do you suppose is wrong with?” Hope asked.
“I’m not sure.” Jingle answered.
Hope runs after Bernard.
“Wait up Bernard.” Hope yelled.
Bernard stops in his tracks than turns to face Hope.
“What do you want?” Bernard asked.
“I want to know what’s wrong with you.” Hope answered.
“Well I don’t want to talk about it.” Bernard said.
Santa over hears everything.
Bernard starts walking away and Santa stops him.
“Will you tell me what’s wrong?” Santa asked.
“I can’t keep things for my boss so yeah I’ll tell you but not here.” Bernard answered.
Santa and Bernard walk out of earshot of the other elves.
“Okay tell me now Bernard.” Santa said.
“I need to ask you a question first.” Bernard replied.
“Alright ask away.” Santa said.
Bernard sighs deeply.
“Are elves allowed to date other elves?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I don’t see why not as long as it doesn’t interfere with your work.” Santa answered.
“Oh that’s good to know.” Bernard said.
“Are you in love with someone?” Santa asked.
”Yeah I am but I’m not sure if she feels the same way and I’m too shy to say anything.” Bernard answered.
“Who is it?” Santa asked.
“It’s Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“You mean the head elf of the toys?” Santa asked.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yeah that’s who I mean.” Bernard answered.
Santa smiles than walks off to find Mrs. Clause.
Bernard walks to where the other elves are.
A pretty elf named Kristina walks over to Bernard.
“Hi Bernard.” Kristina said.
Bernard ignores Kristina because he’s too busy starting at Angelica.
Angelica is talking to her best friend Ivy.
“Do you like anyone?” Angelica asked.
“Well I think Garland is really cute but not as cute as Bernard.” Ivy answered.
“You think the head elf is cute?” Angelica asked.
“Well of course only what I really meant to say he’s gorgeous.” Ivy sad.
“You can say that again.” Angelica replied under her breath.
Ivy heard Angelica.
“Do you like him?” Ivy asked.
“Yeah I do a lot but I couldn’t never ever bring myself to tell him because what if he doesn’t feel the same about me.” Angelica answered.
“Do you want to me find out if he likes you?” Ivy asked.
“Yeah okay but just don’t let him figuring out that I like him.” Angelica answered.
Ivy walks over to where Bernard is talking two of the other elves named Yule and Jolly.
Ivy clears her throat.
Bernard looks at Ivy.
“What do you want?” Bernard asked.
“I wanted to ask you a few things.” Ivy answered.
“Okay I’m listening.” Bernard said.
“Do believe in love?” Ivy asked.
“Yeah of course I do.” Bernard answered.
“What does love mean to you?” Ivy asked.
“It means being there for the one that I love and to protect her at all costs.” Bernard answered.
“Would you ever fall in love with a fellow elf?” Ivy asked.
“Yeah I would and I have been for a long time now.” Bernard answered.
“Who is she?” Ivy asked.
“I’d rather not say.” Bernard answered as he walks away.
Ivy sighs than goes back over to Angelica.
“What did you find out?” Angelica asked.
“He’s definitely in love with someone but he won’t tell me who it is and he’s very deep when it comes to his inner feelings.” Ivy answered.
Angelica looks over at Bernard who now talking to his best elf friend Chandler.
“What’s matter with you lately?” Chandler asked.
“I don’t want to talk about it and the only one that knows is the big guy in charge of here.” Bernard answered.
“Alright fine than don’t tell me.” Chandler said as he walked off.
Bernard looks over at where Angelica is talking to Ivy.
“Wow she’s amazingly beautiful. I just want to go over there right now than pull her close and kiss her.” Bernard thinks to himself.

Chapter 2
Jack Frost’s Demand

It’s a few days later now.
The elves are making toys and Bernard is watching over them.
All of a sudden Jack Frost appears.
Bernard goes over to Jack Frost.
“What are you doing here?” Bernard asked.
”I came to talk to Santa.” Jack Frost answered.
Santa comes over.
“What do you want Jack Frost?” Santa asked.
“I want you to let me take your head toy maker elf with me and if you refuse than I will cause a massive storm that will ruin Christmas.” Jack answered.
”Why do you want Angelica?” Santa asked.
”I’ve been in love with her for a long time and I can’t take it anymore because I so want her for my own.” Jack answered.
“Yeah right like I’m going to let you take away the love of my life and I’m the one that she’s meant to be with.” Bernard thinks to himself.
Angelica looks at Santa.
“You can’t give me to him?” Angelica answered.
“I haven’t got a choice because it’s too close to Christmas to have a massive storm.” Santa answered.
“There’s got to be something you can do.” Ivy replied.
“I’m sorry Ivy but I can’t.” Santa said.
Jack Frost takes Angelica’s hand than leaves with her before Bernard can do anything.
“No, Angelica.” Bernard whispered.
Bernard runs after Jack Frost but it’s too late they are gone and he falls to the floor.
Santa and Chandler come running over.
Chandler looks at Santa.
“What’s wrong with him?” Chandler asked.
“He’s heartbroken because Jack Frost took away the love of his life.” Santa answered.
“Bernard’s in love with Angelica?” Chandler asked.
“Yes he is very much.” Santa answered.
Curtis over hears.
“Well, well I could use this to my advantage and get even with the two timing head elf.” Curtis thinks to himself.
Curtis leaves.
Bernard gets to his feet than starts pacing back and forth.
“What I am going to do? How do I get her back?” Bernard asked.
“That’s very simple my friend you go to where Jack Frost is keeping her and rescue her.” Chandler answered.
Chandler’s twin sister walks over.
“My brother is right and doesn’t your name mean brave little bear.” Candy said.
“Yeah it does.” Bernard replied.
“Than be a brave little bear and save the love of your life before it’s too late.” Candy said.
Bernard sighs.
”I need a plan first because I just can’t go there to save her without one.” Bernard said.
Judy suddenly appears.
”Bernard, I have a plan.” Judy replied.
“What is it?” Bernard asked.
“I’ll go with you than flirt with Jack Frost long enough for you to rescue Angelica.” Judy answered.
~Meanwhile at Jack Frost’s lair~
“Let me go because this isn’t fair.” Angelica said.
“You’re not going anywhere until he agree to be my wife.” Jack Frost replied.
“In your dreams because I don’t even love you.” Angelica yelled.
“You will learn to love me.” Jack Frost said.
“Not in this life time plus I’m already in love with someone else.” Angelica replied.
“Who might that be?” Jack Frost asked.
“I’m not telling you.” Angelica answered.
Jack Frost takes Angelica to a room than throws her inside and locks the door.
“You aren’t come out of there until you tell me who you are in love with than when you do tell me than I will kill him.” Jack Frost said.
Jack Frost leaves than Angelica falls to the floor.
“Oh Bernard, please come to rescue because I’m so scared.” Angelica thinks to herself.
Angelica sighs than starts to sing.
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete
Incomplete
Jack Frost hears Angelica singing.
“Wow she has such a beautiful voice.” Jack Frost thinks to himself.
Angelica stops singing and starts crying.
“Bernard, I miss you so much and I can’t stop thinking about you. Please come and save me.” Angelica thinks to herself.

Chapter 3
Rescuing His Angel

Bernard looks at Judy.
“What are you waiting for?” Bernard asked.
“I’m waiting for you to say the word.” Judy answered.
“Alright let’s go.” Bernard said.
“Be careful you two.” Santa replied.
Judy and Bernard leave for Jack Frost’s lair.
Bernard hides and Judy goes to where Jack Frost is.
“Hi Jack Frost.” Judy said.
“What are you doing here?” Jack Frost asked.
“I couldn’t stop thinking about you and how cute you are.” Judy answered.
Judy pulls Jack close and kisses him.
Bernard’s mouth drops in shock.
Judy winks at Bernard.
Bernard nods his head than goes in search of Angelica.
“Where could he be hiding her?” Bernard asked himself.
All of a sudden Bernard hears someone singing.
Be brave, little one
Make a wish for each sad little tear
Hold your head up, though no one is near
Someone's waiting for you
Don't cry, little one
There'll be a smile where a frown used to be
You'll be part of the love that you see
Someone's waiting for you
Always keep a little prayer in your pocket
And you're sure to see the light
Soon there'll be joy and happiness
And your little world will be bright
Have faith, little one
Till your hopes and your wishes come true
You must try to be brave, little one
Someone's waiting to love you
Bernard smiles than follows the singing to a locked door.
There is a guard sleeping by the door so. Bernard uses his elf magic to go invisible and takes the key away from the guard. Bernard opens the door with the key. Angelica walks out of the room.
“Who unlocked that door?” Angelica asked.
Bernard becomes visible again.
“I unlocked it.” Bernard answered.
Angelica hugs Bernard.
“You’re my hero Bernard.” Angelica said.
Bernard sighs deeply than puts his arms around Angelica.
“I couldn’t bear not having you around the Santa’s Village.” Bernard replied.
“Awe Bernard you’re so sweet.” Angelica said.
“Was that you singing?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah it was.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles.
“Wow you have a very beautiful singing voice just like an angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica blushes a little.
Bernard takes Angelica by than hand and they go to where Judy is still kissing Jack Frost.
Angelica looks at Judy kissing Jack Frost than at Bernard.
“Why is she doing that?” Angelica asked in a whisper.
“She was doing it so that I could rescue you.” Bernard answered.
Judy notices them than they run back to Santa’s Village.
Santa goes over to Angelica and gives her a hug.
“I’m very sorry for doing that but I had no choice.” Santa said.
Angelica smiles.
“I know Santa and it’s okay.” Angelica replied.
Bernard sighs deeply again just as Jack Frost appears.
“You tricked me.” Jack Frost yelled.
“Well we had to in order to get one of our best elves back where she belongs.” Santa said.
Jack Frost starts walking towards Angelica and Bernard steps in his way.
“Don’t even think about touching her because if you do that you’ll have me to deal with.” Bernard screamed.
“Do you think I’m scared of you?” Jack Frost asked.
“You better be scared of him Jack Frost because he is the strongest elf here and he’s my head elf remember so that means he has the most elf magic.” Santa answered.
Jack Frost looks at Santa.
“You better be prepared for a storm that will cancel Christmas this year.” Jack Frost said.
All of a sudden Mother Nature, The Sandman, Cupid, The Easter Bunny, The Tooth Fairy and Father Time appear.
Mother Nature walks over to Jack Frost.
“You will nothing of the sort and leave Angelica alone.” Mother Nature yelled.
Jack Frost growls than leaves.
Angelica hugs Mother Nature.
“Thanks so much saving me from going back with him because I didn’t want to.” Angelica said.
Santa is talking to Cupid privately.
“Did you have anything to with my head elf and my head toy maker elf falling in love?” Santa asked.
“I would like to say that I did but that would be lie.” Cupid answered.
“You mean they fall in love on their own?” Santa asked.
Cupid nods his head.
“Yes they did.” Cupid answered.
Mother Nature over hears than comes over.
“Do you have a problem with them being in love?” Mother Nature asked.
“Maybe just a little problem.” Santa answered.
Carol overheard too and she walks over to Santa.
“I don’t know what you’re worried about my dear because it’s very obvious that no matter Bernard will protect her at all costs.” Carol said.
“What made you say that?” Santa asked.
“He just saved her from Jack Frost and that my dear shows how much he cares.” Carol answered.
Mother Nature smiles.
“Your wife is right about that one Santa because love has no boundaries and it will conquer anything even danger.” Mother Nature said.
Santa and Carol look at Mother Nature.
“Who told you that?” Santa asked.
“Cupid of course.” Mother Nature answered.
Mother Nature, Cupid, Father Time, The Easter Bunny and The Tooth Fairy leave.
Bernard looks at Angelica than let’s a long sigh.
“I’m so glad that she’s back where she belongs which is with me. Now the next thing is to tell her how I feel about her.” Bernard thinks to himself.
Chandler snaps his fingers in front of Bernard’s face.
“Are you in there Bernard?” Chandler asked.
“Yeah I am and sorry I just got lost in my thoughts.” Bernard answered.
“Where you thinking about Angelica by any chance?” Chandler asked in a whisper.
“Yeah I was thinking about her and I want her to be mine for now and for all eternity.” Bernard answered.
Chandler shakes his head than walks off.
Bernard smiles a little.
Angelica looks over at Bernard and smiles at him.
Bernard smiles at Angelica than walks off to attend to his head elf duties.

Chapter 4
Bernard’s Special Gift For Angelica

It’s a few days before Christmas and Bernard is his bedroom. There is a knock at the door.
“Come in.” Bernard said.
Santa and Chandler walk in.
“What’s the matter Bernard?” Santa asked.
“I want to make an extra special gift for Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“How about using your special jewelry making talent?” Santa asked.
“That’s a good idea Santa and I know just the one to make her.” Bernard answered.
“Do you mean to tell me that all the jewelry that kids around the world ask for is made by Bernard?” Chandler asked.
“Yes it is and he’s very good at it.” Santa answered.
Bernard smiles. Chandler and Santa leave. The hours pass and now its night time. Bernard sneaks down to the Santa’s Workshop and makes a silver angel necklace for Angelica than wraps it up in gold wrapping paper. Bernard puts on to Angelica than takes it to his room and he goes to sleep with it by his pillow.
Santa knocks on Bernard’s door.
“Wake up.” Santa said.
Bernard opens his eyes.
“What do you want Santa?” Bernard asked.
“I just wanted to know if you got your special gift for Angelica done yet.” Santa answered.
Bernard passes the package to Santa.
“Could you give to her when you pass out the rest of the presents?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah of course I could but it would probably be better if you give it to her.” Santa answered.
“I know it should me but I’m just too shy plus I’d like my special talent to stay a secret.” Bernard answered.
Santa smiles than takes the gift from Bernard. It’s later that day now. Santa is getting ready for his Christmas Eve trip. Carol kisses Santa good-bye.
“Be careful honey.” Carol said.
Santa smiles.
“Don’t worry my dear I’ll be careful.” Santa replied.
Santa leaves for his trip. Bernard sighs than goes to his room and falls asleep dreaming of Angelica. Christmas morning finally arrives and all the elves gather down by the big tree in the middle of Santa’s Workshop. Santa is sitting in the big comfy armchair waiting for them. Bernard sits next to Chandler and Candy. Ivy walks into the room with Angelica. Bernard sees Angelica than he smiles.
Ivy and Angelica sit next to Candy. Bernard sighs deeply.
“I just want to go over there and sit next to her but I can’t.” Bernard thinks to himself.
Santa passes out the gifts to everyone until the only one left is the one for Angelica. Ivy looks at Santa than at gift.
“Who is that gift for?” Ivy asked.
“It’s a very special gift for Angelica.” Santa answered.
Angelica comes up than takes it from Santa and rejoins Ivy.
Ivy looks at Angelica.
“Are you going to open it?” Ivy asked.
“Yeah I am.” Angelica answered.
Angelica opens the gift and when she sees it her mouth drops open in shock.
“Oh Santa it’s beautiful.” Angelica said.
“Yeah I know it is but I didn’t make.” Santa answered.
“Who made it?” Angelica asked.
“The official jewelry maker elf did.” Santa answered.
“Who is that?” Ivy asked.
Bernard sighs.
“It’s me.” Bernard answered.
Angelica glares at Bernard.
“You made this for me?” Angelica asked.
Bernard nods his head.
”Yes I did because you’re an angel to me.” Bernard answered.
Angelica gets to her and so does Bernard.
“Could I talk to you alone please?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah sure.” Bernard answered.
“Alright follow me.” Angelica said.
“To ends of the Earth my angel.” Bernard replied under his breath.
“What did you just say?” Angelica asked.
“It was nothing so let’s go.” Bernard answered.
Bernard and Angelica go out of earshot of all the other elves.
“Are you in love with me?” Angelica asked.
Bernard just grins.
“Come on answered me.” Angelica said.
“I can do better than that.” Bernard replied.
Angelica gets a confused look on her face.
Bernard pulls Angelica close and kisses her.
Angelica’s eyes widen in shock than a few minutes Bernard breaks the kiss.
“Wow, you’re an amazing kisser.” Angelica said.
“Yeah so are.” Bernard replied.
“So does the mean that we are boyfriend and girlfriend now?” Angelica asked.
“It sure does my angel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica looks at the necklace in her hand than at Bernard.
“Could you put this beautiful necklace that you made for me around my neck?” Angelica asked.
“Of course my angel.” Bernard answered.
Bernard puts the necklace around Angelica’s neck than clasp it.
Angelica hugs Bernard.
“Thanks so much for making for me.” Angelica said.
“It was nothing really plus I love making jewelry especially if it’s for the love of my life.” Bernard replied.
“Who is the love of your life?” Angelica asked.
Bernard pulls Angelica into his embrace.
“You are my angel.” Bernard answered.
Bernard and Angelica walk back over to the others.
Angelica kisses Bernard on the cheek than goes over to Ivy. Bernard sighs just as a girl elf walks over and hugs him.
“How many times have I told not to do that Crystale?” Bernard asked.
“It’s not fair that only Santa knows the truth.” Crystale answered.
Angelica walks over to Bernard and Crystale.
“What are you talking about Crystale?” Angelica asked.
Crystale looks at Bernard.
“Well you see it’s like this I have brother here.” Crystale answered.
Bernard sighs than walks off looking mad.
“If you don’t get back here now that I’ll go get mom.” Crystale yelled.
Angelica’s eyes widen and she runs after Bernard.
“Is Crystale your sister?” Angelica asked.
Bernard sighs again.
“Yes she is.” Bernard answered.
Angelica sighs than walks off.
"Bernard never told me that he has a sister. I was wondering why he never told me that he has a sister." Angelica said.
Bernard hears Angelica than walks up to behind her and wraps his arms around her.
“I want to tell you and everyone but our mother made us promise not to let anyone find out.” Bernard replied.
Angelica sighs.
“Will I ever meet your mother?” Angelica asked.
“You already have.” Bernard answered.
Bernard looks over to see Crystale coming towards him.
“What now sis?” Bernard asked.
“Mom is here.” Crystale answered.
Bernard notices Santa and Carol talking his mother.
Crystale takes her brother’s hand and drags him to where they are.
Angelica follows them.
“Mother Nature.” Angelica said.
“Hi Angelica.” Mother Nature replied.
“What are you doing here?” Angelica asked.
“She’s here to visit her children.” Mother Nature answered.
Carol looks at Mother Nature.
“Do you have another go by?” Carol asked.
“Yes my real name is Aurora.” Mother Nature answered.
Bernard sighs.
Mother Nature looks at Bernard.
“What’s the matter Bernard?” Mother Nature asked.
“Nothing.” Bernard answered.
Santa and Mother Nature gasp at the same time.
Mother Nature takes Santa’s out of earshot.
“You felt that too right.” Mother Nature said.
Santa nods.
“Do you think it’s Bernard?” Santa asked.
“Yeah it is and I really wish he’d stop hiding stuff because it really worries me.” Mother Nature answered.
Carol walks over to them and looks at Santa.
“Is she who I think she is?” Carol asked.
“Yes dear she is.” Santa answered.
“Wow, I didn’t even know that Mother Nature had children.” Carol said.
Mother Nature sighs.
“My husband was one of Santa’s elves along time ago but sadly he got killed and I don’t like talking about it.” Mother Nature replied.
“What was his name?” Carol asked.
“His name was Barbas.” Mother Nature answered.
Santa sighs.
“He also used to be my head elf back before Bernard was born.” Santa said.
“Wow that’s so cool.” Carol replied.
Angelica and Crystale walk over.
Mother Nature sighs.
“Listen I have to go but I’ll be back.” Mother Nature said.
Crystale hugs Mother Nature.
“I’ll miss you mom.” Crystale replied.
Bernard rolls his gorgeous brown eyes and shakes his head.
Angelica’s mouth drops open in shock.
“You’re Bernard and Crystale’s mother?” Angelica asked.
Mother Nature nods his head.
“Yes I am Angelica.” Mother Nature answered.
Bernard wraps his arms around Angelica.
Mother Nature smiles.
“You take really good care my son because he’s very special to me.” Mother Nature said.
“Don’t worry Mother Nature I will and he’s very special to me too.” Angelica replied.
Mother Nature hugs Crystale and Bernard than leaves.
Bernard sighs.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Why didn’t you tell me that Mother Nature was your mother?” Angelica asked.
“I was sworn to secrecy about Crystale and my mother being Mother Nature.” Bernard answered.
Angelica wiggles out of Bernard’s grip than walks off.
Bernard runs after to her than pulls her close again.
“Leave me alone because I’m talking to you.” Angelica yelled.
Angelica starts walking off again.
Bernard suddenly collapses to floor.
Santa, Crystale, Chandler and Carol coming running over.
“I knew there was wrong something with him.” Santa said.
Angelica turns around than when sees Bernard on the ground she forgets all about being mad than runs to him and kneels next to him.
“Bernard, wake up please.” Angelica said through the tears that starting to fall.
Santa sighs.
Bernard doesn’t wake up.
Ivy suddenly appears.
“What don’t you try kissing him?” Ivy asked.
“This better work.” Angelica answered as she kisses Bernard passionately.
A few minutes Angelica breaks the kiss.
Bernard moans than opens his eyes.
Angelica hugs Bernard really tight.
“I thought I was going to loose you.” Angelica said.
Bernard gets to his feet than pulls Angelica up into his arms.
“I’m just a little weak from using so elf magic on your necklace and please don’t cry because I can’t bare to see my angel cry.” Bernard replied as wipes the tears away form Angelica’s eyes.
Angelica smiles than kisses Bernard.
Santa pulls Carol close and kisses her.
Crystale looks at Ivy.
“All this kissing is making me sick.” Crystale said.
“Yeah I know what you mean.” Ivy replied.
A few minutes later Angelica and Bernard stop kissing.
Santa and Carol stop kissing too.
Bernard smiles.
“Merry Christmas, my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles too.
“Merry Christmas, my teddy bear.” Angelica replied.
“I love you Angelica.” Bernard said.
Angelica goes to something but nothing comes and than she faints. Bernard catches Angelica in his arms.
Santa and Carol exchange.
“That’s was some reaction.” Santa replied.
Angelica opens her eyes and kisses Bernard passionately.
“I love you too Bernard.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles than kisses Angelica passionately.

Chapter 5
Santa’s Business Trip

The days pass by so quickly and now it is Valentine’s Day. Bernard is up this room pacing back in forth trying to figure out what to give his angel for Valentine’s Day. Bernard suddenly comes up with the idea of writing her some poetry. Ivy and Angelica are down in the workshop talking. Angelica looks around.
“Have you seen Bernard?” Angelica asked.
“No I haven’t.” Ivy answered.
Santa comes over to them.
“I haven’t seen him either and he’s suppose be looking after this place for me.” Santa said.
Chandler walks over.
“I know where Bernard is.” Chandler replied.
“Where?” Angelica and Santa asked together.
“He’s up in his room.” Chandler answered.
Angelica starts on her way to Bernard’s room but Chandler stops her.
“He told me that he didn’t want anyone especially you disturb him.” Chandler said.
Angelica sighs than sits down on the steps going upstairs. Ivy sits down next to her best friend. A little while later Bernard is done of his poem so he puts into his bag and goes downstairs. Bernard sees Angelica than runs to her and sits down beside.
“What’s the matter my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I got really worried early when Chandler told me that you didn’t want anyone especially me to disturb you.” Angelica asked.
“What were you worried about?” Bernard asked.
“I was worried that you didn’t want to be with me anymore.” Angelica answered.
Bernard pulls Angelica close to him.
“Listen to my angel, I love you with every fiber in me and nothing or nobody is ever going to change that.” Bernard said.
“Wow Ivy was right you are deep when it comes to your inner feelings.” Angelica replied.
Bernard passes the piece of paper to Angelica with the poem that he wrote for her. Angelica unfolds the paper than reads it and kisses Bernard passionately.
“Happy Valentine’s Day my angel.” Bernard replied.
They suddenly get caught up in passionate kiss. A few minutes the break apart than notice the Tooth Fairy talking to Santa. Bernard goes over to them.
“What’s going on?” Bernard asked.
“Legendary figures have decided to have meeting to figure out a way to get rid of Jack Frost for good.” Santa answered.
“Wow that would be great because I don’t trust him especially when it comes to the love of my life.” Bernard said.
“The only thing is that you have to come with me.” Santa said.
“Are you serious?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I am.” Santa answered.
“I’m not going.” Bernard said.
“You haven’t got a choice in the matter Bernard.” Santa replied.
“I’m not leaving Angelica because if I do and something happens to her I will never forgive myself.” Bernard said.
“Would you like me to get your mother here?” Santa asked.
“Okay I’m coming but just give some time to tell the love of my life and say good-bye to her.” Bernard answered.
Bernard walks over to where Angelica is talking to Ivy.
“What was that all about my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
Bernard lets long sigh.
“I have to go on business trip with Santa.” Bernard answered.
“Do you really have to go?” Angelica asked.
“Yes I do but just remember this my angel absence makes the heart grow founder.” Bernard answered.
Santa and Bernard leave. Angelica sighs than starts crying It’s a few days later and Ivy is just waking up than she comes down and that moment she hears someone coughing. Ivy goes to Angelica’s room to find her sick in bed.
~Meanwhile in the secret lair of where Legendary Figures, Santa Claus and Bernard are~
Bernard lets out a gasp. Mother Nature walks over to Bernard.
“What’s the matter son?” Mother Nature asked.
“I’m worried about Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“What do you mean?” The Easter Bunny asked.
“I have this feeling that something is wrong with her and it won’t go away.” Bernard answered.
Mother Nature looks at her son than sighs.
“You go back to Santa’s Village and be with the love of your life.” Mother Nature said.
“He needs to help us.” Cupid yelled.
“No he needs to be with the love of his life.” Mother Nature screamed.
Bernard uses his elf magic to back to Santa’s Village.
Ivy and Chandler come running over to her.
“Where is she?” Bernard asked.
“She’s up in her bedroom but I won’t advise you to go up there.” Ivy answered.
Bernard ignores Ivy and runs as fast as he can up to Angelica’s bedroom.
Angelica is sitting on her bed and she’s really pale. Bernard walks over and sits next to her than pulls him close to him.
“Don’t worry my angel I’m here now.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks up into Bernard’s brown eyes.
“What about your trip with Santa?” Angelica asked.
“My mother told me to come here to be with you when I sensed something was wrong.” Bernard asked.
“You sensed there was something wrong with me?” Angelica asked.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yeah I did and it looks like the love we have is going stronger than I thought it would.” Bernard answered.
“Do you remember the first day that I came to Santa’s Workshop?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah I do very well but back than I didn’t feel the way I do for you now.” Bernard answered.
“What do you mean?” Angelica asked.
“I didn’t like you at first but you grew on me than all of a sudden I was falling head over heels in love with you.” Bernard answered.
~Flashback to the day that Angelica came to Santa’s Workshop~
A 1220 year old Bernard is walking around Santa’s Workshop making sure everyone is doing their jobs right. Santa walks over to Bernard.
“Could you come with me?” Santa asked.
“Sure of course Santa.” Bernard answered.
Bernard follows Santa to where the new elves that want to become Santa’s elves are.
“These are your newest elves to train.” Santa said.
Bernard smiles and Santa leaves.
“Hi everyone, I’m Santa’s head elf and elf trainer Bernard.” Bernard replied.
A few of the girl elves giggle and one of the boy elves steps forward.
“My name is Yuletide but please call me Yule.” the elf said.
“What are the rest of your names?” Bernard asked.
“My name is Ivy and this is my best friend Angelica.” a girl elf answered.
“I’m Evangelina and this is my friend since I was little Garland.” A girl elf said as she points to herself than a boy elf standing beside her.
Angelica sighs.
“Is there anything wrong?” Bernard asked.
Angelica sighs again.
“I’m just worried that I won’t be a good elf.” Angelica answered.
Ivy looks at her best friend.
“The only way to find out is to try your best. “ Ivy said.
Angelica nods her head.
“Yeah you’re so right Ivy.” Angelica said.
They start their elf training. Angelica is struggle than Bernard rolls his eyes.
Santa comes over to them.
“How is it going my head elf?” Santa asked.
“It’s going alright except for Angelica and I don’t think she’s cut out to be one your elves.” Bernard answered.
“Just give her time she’ll figure it out.” Santa said.
Bernard sighs than walks over to Angelica.
“Listen you’re doing it all wrong.” Bernard yelled.
“I’m trying my best but obviously my best just isn’t good enough for you.” Angelica screamed.
“Don’t you dare talk me like that.” Bernard yelled.
“Well don’t yell at me either.” Angelica screamed.
“I will if you stop screaming at me and get back to work.” Bernard said.
Angelica rolls her eyes than gets back to work. Bernard walks off to see how the other elves are doing. A few days later it’s graduation time.
“You have all done very well so when I say your name please come get your certificate.” Bernard said.
“Did we all make it?” Ivy asked.
“You’ll find out when the call the names.” Bernard answered.
“I have a feeling that I didn’t make it.” Angelica whispered to Ivy.
“First one is Yule.” Bernard said.
Yule comes up at and gets his certificate.
“Next up is Evangelina.” Bernard replied.
Evangelina comes up and gets her certificate.
“Wow this is so cool.” Evangelina said.
“Next is Garland.” Bernard replied.
Garland comes up and gets his certificate than hugs Evangelina.
“At last but not least Ivy.” Bernard said.
Ivy just stares at Bernard but doesn’t move. Bernard looks at Ivy.
“No I don’t my certificate because if my best friend can’t be with me than I don’t want to be one of Santa’s elves and you what you’re really mean.” Ivy yelled.
Bernard goes to something just as Santa comes.
“Could I have moment alone with your Bernard?” Santa asked.
Bernard sighs than follows Santa.
“Okay we’re alone.” Bernard answered.
“What do you have against Angelica?” Santa asked.
“I told you that she’s not cut out to be one of your elves and her constant giggling annoys me.” Bernard answered.
Ivy walks over to them.
“How about it I help you her out? Will you let her stay than?” Ivy asked.
“Okay yes if you stop bugging about it.” Bernard answered.
The months pass and Angelica is finally getting the hang of things. Bernard walks over to Angelica.
“You have come along way and I liked to promote you head toy elf.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles than hugs Bernard.
“Thanks so much Bernard.” Angelica said.
“Yeah you’re welcome and don’t touch me.” Bernard replied as he walked away.
It has been a year since Angelica came to Santa’s Workshop. Bernard is watching all the elves than suddenly finds him staring at Angelica.
“What I’m doing?” Bernard asked.
Chandler walks over to Bernard.
“You’re staring into space.” Chandler answered.
Bernard sighs and Chandler leaves.
“Wow she’s so very beautiful. Wait a minute what I’m I saying. I’m actually falling for the one elf that I don’t like.” Bernard thinks to himself.
Ivy and Angelica walk over to Bernard.
“What would you like?” Bernard asked.
“Jolly is picking on us.” Ivy answered.
Bernard marches over to Jolly and taps him on the shoulder.
“What is it?” Jolly asked.
“I would like you stop teasing the girl elves or I will have to tell Santa.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles and Bernard notices.
“Wow she has an amazing smile.” Bernard thinks to himself.
The days go by and Bernard starts falling for Angelica even more with each passing day. Angelica looking over at Bernard.
“Wow he’s such so handsome. What I am talking that way about him? He’s the one that won’t let be one of Santa’s elves and now I’m falling for him.” Angelica thinks to herself.
~End of flashback~
Bernard pulls Angelica close to him.
“I’m sorry for the way I treated when you first came here to one of Santa’s elves and I’m really glad that Ivy stood up for you that day.” Bernard said.
“Thanks my teddy bear and she was right about you back than because you were mean but you’ve changed.” Angelica said.
“You are the one that has changed me because you have opened my eyes to a whole new meaning.” Bernard replied.
“I love it when you get all deep with your feelings.” Angelica said.
“How are you feeling now my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I’m feeling a lot better thanks to you.” Angelica answered.
Angelica and Bernard go downstairs.
Chandler walks over to them.
“How are you doing there Mistletoe?” Chandler asked.
“I’m good and I have told you a million times don’t call me that.” Bernard answered.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Why did Chandler call you that?” Angelica asked.
“You’ll find out soon my angel.” Bernard answered.
Chandler looks at Bernard.
“You haven’t told her yet?” Chandler asked.
“No I haven’t because I’m waiting for the perfect moment to let that side of me out.” Bernard answered.
“What are you two talking about?” Angelica asked.
“I told you that you’ll find out very soon my angel and when time is just right.” Bernard answered. Angelica smiles a little. Bernard smiles too than kisses Angelica passionately.

Chapter 6
Bernard and Angelica The Matchmakers

Ivy is staring at Garland. Garland looks over at Ivy than winks and she blushes.
Angelica sees the whole thing and rolls her eyes. Crystale walks over.
“What’s the matter?” Crystale asked.
“I’m so sick of seeing my best friend Ivy and Garland flirting all the time.” Angelica answered.
Chandler overhears.
“Looks like a job for Mistletoe.” Chandler said.
“Why is that you always calling him that?” Angelica asked.
“You’ll find when he’s ready to tell you.” Chandler answered.
Bernard walks up behind Angelica and pulls her close to him.
“I love you my angel.” Bernard whispered in Angelica’s ear.
Angelica smiles.
“I love you too my teddy bear.” Angelica whisper back.
Bernard takes Angelica out of earshot.
“I couldn’t help over hearing about what you said a few minutes ago about Ivy and Garland.” Bernard said.
“Yeah I meant it when I said it.” Angelica replied.
“I have away to get them together.” Bernard said
“What is that?” Angelica asked.
“I can’t tell you that my angel and just leave everything up to me.” Bernard answered.
“What do you want me to do?” Angelica asked.
“All I want you to do is bring Ivy outside in a few minutes.” Bernard answered.
Bernard kisses Angelica than leaves to get Garland. Angelica goes to get Ivy than go outside to find Garland sitting a table with a candlelit dinner for two with soft music playing and little snow shower.
Angelica and Ivy’s eyes widen.
“Did you do this Garland?” Ivy asked.
“No I didn’t because it was like this when I got here.” Garland answered.
Chandler is close by.
“Mistletoe strikes again.” Chandler thinks to himself.
“Who did all this than?” Angelica asked.
Bernard sneaks up behind Angelica than wraps his arms around her.
“I was that one that did it my angel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica looks up into Bernard’s gorgeous brown eyes.
“Wow, you never told me that you’re romantic.” Angelica said.
“Oh I can be a lot more romantic than this and that’s why all the other elves call me Mistletoe.” Bernard replied.
Bernard and Angelica leave so that Ivy can enjoy her date with Garland. A few minutes later Bernard and Angelica are sitting on his bed in his room. Bernard sighs deeply.
“What’s wrong?” Angelica asked.
“It’s nothing my angel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica gets a scared look on her face. Bernard gets to his feet than faints.
Angelica kneels down next to him and kisses him than a few minutes she breaks the kiss. Bernard opens his eyes and looks at Angelica. Angelica suddenly figures out what is wrong with Bernard.
“You’re weak aren’t you?” Bernard asked.
Bernard sighs than nods his head.
“Yeah I am.” Bernard answered.
“I want you to stop using your elf magic so much because it drains you too much.” Angelica said.
“Anything for my angel.” Bernard replied.
It’s now June 19th which means that it is Bernard and Angelica’s 6 month anniversary. Bernard is up his room trying to figure just how to show Angelica his true romantic side.
“Is it worth it? What if I show her than she doesn’t like it? Do I really want to take that risk?” Bernard asked himself.
Chandler is comes into the room.
“I’d just go with it Mistletoe and I’m sure she will love your romantic side.” Chandler answered.
“You’re right I should go for it and stop worrying over it.” Bernard said.
Chandler smiles than leaves. Bernard changes than goes to down to the workshop to find Crystale sitting by herself. Bernard walks over to his sister.
“What’s the matter sis?” Bernard asked.
“I can’t take it anymore with feelings that I have hidden so deep.” Crystale answered.
“What are you talking about?” Bernard asked.
“I’m in love with your best friend Chandler.” Crystale answered.
Bernard’s gorgeous brown eyes widen in shock.
“Wow I had know idea you felt that way for my best friend.” Bernard said.
Crystale sighs than notices the way her brother is dressed.
“Why are you all dressed up?” Crystale asked.
“It’s mine and Angelica’s 6 month anniversary.” Bernard answered.
Crystale notices Santa talking to their mother and a man. Mother Nature looks really angry. Bernard and Crystale go over.
“Aurora calm down.” Santa said.
“No I won’t because he left him when I need him the most and made us all believe that he was dead when really he wasn’t.” Aurora yelled.
Bernard gasps than looks at Crystale.
“I don’t believe but he’s right in front of us.” Bernard said.
The man walks over to Bernard and Crystale than hugs them both.
“Hello Bernard and Crystale.” The man said.
The man turns to Aurora.
“Please give me another chance because I still love you.” The man replied.
“If you want me back Barbas than you are going to have to win me back.” Mother Nature said.
Ivy and Angelica walk over. Bernard gets a scared look.
“What’s wrong son?” Barbas asked.
“Nothing dad.” Bernard answered.
Angelica looks at Barbas than at Bernard.
“Didn’t you say your father was dead?” Angelica asked.
“That’s what I thought but he’s not.” Bernard answered.
Chandler walks over.
“How do you plan win your wife back?” Chandler asked Barnabus.
“That’s simple I’m going to turn on my romantic charm.” Barbas answered.
“Oh now see where your son gets from right Mistletoe.” Chandler said.
“Why did you call him that?” Barbas asked.
“That’s his nickname around here because his specialty move is creating Mistletoe out of nowhere just catch a pretty elf under it plus he’s also romantic like you. “ Chandler answered.
Angelica starts to shiver a little. Bernard pulls her close to him to keep her warm.
Barbas looks at his son and than at Angelica.
“Could I talk you alone son?” Barbas asked.
“Yeah sure dad.” Bernard answered.
Barbas and Bernard walk out of earshot.
“Who was that girl elf that you wrapped your arms around?” Barbas asked.
“Her name is Angelica and she’s my girlfriend.” Bernard answered.
“She’s what?” Barbas asked.
“You heard me dad.” Bernard answered.
“How old is she?” Barbas asked.
“I’m not sure. “ Bernard answered.
Barbas walks over to Angelica with Bernard right behind him.
“How are old are you?” Barbas asked.
“I’m 1227 years old.” Angelica answered.
Barbas stares at his son.
“You’re going out with an elf that’s a year younger than you?” Barbas asked.
Bernard sighs.
“Yes dad I am because I love her with all my heart and age doesn’t matter when you’re in love.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles.
“I don’t want you hanging around my son anymore.” Barbas yelled.
Angelica’s eyes fill with tears than she runs off. Bernard glares at his father than sudden Barbas goes flying through the air. Mother Nature and Santa exchange looks. Santa sighs. Mother Nature takes Barbas out of earshot.
“Why are you always so hard on him?” Mother Nature asked.
“I don’t know I guess it because it’s hard watching our children go up and I just sometimes wish they were little again.” Barbas answered.
Crystale sighs. Ivy looks at her than Mother Nature.
“Why do you and Bernard so much alike?” Ivy asked.
“He’s my brother that’s why.” Crystale answered.
“That’s not what I mean.” Ivy said.
Mother Nature and Barbas over hear than they take Santa out of earshot.
“You see it’s like this Crystale is actually older than everyone here thinks.” Barbas answered.
“What do you mean?” Santa asked.
“She’s really 1228 years old.” Mother Nature answered.
“How is that possible?” Santa asked.
“She and Bernard are twins.” Barbas answered.
“They’re what?” Santa asked in a yell.
“You heard him.” Mother Nature answered.
Santa smiles.
“You can’t tell anyone and they don’t even know.” Barbas said.
Santa snaps his fingers making Crystale’s elf profile change. Bernard is up in the Elf Archives looking for Angelica’s profile and suddenly he finds it. Bernard takes it out and reads it.
“Oh interesting.” Bernard said.
Bernard puts it back than notice his sister’s profile so he takes it out and reads it too. Bernard’s eyes widen in shock when he sees her age on it and her marches downstairs where everyone is.
“MOTHER.” Bernard yelled.
All the elves look at Bernard. Mother Nature walks over to Bernard.
“Yes son.” Mother Nature said.
“What is the meaning of this?” Bernard asked holding up Crystale’s profile.
“There is really hard but Crystale isn’t just your sister she’s actually your twin.” Mother Nature answered.
“My what?” Bernard asked.
“You heard me son.” Mother Nature answered.
“How could you and dad keep something like this from me?” Bernard asked.
“We want to tell you both believe me but we wanted to wait until the perfect time to tell you.” Barbas answered.
Bernard rolls his eyes than walks off.
“Do you remember the day that you become head elf?” Mother Nature asked looking at Barbas.
“Yes I do Aurora like it was yesterday.” Barbas answered.
~Flashback to where Barbas become the Santa’s head elf~
A younger Barbas is walking around the Santa’s Workshop when sudden a 206 year old Crystale runs over and hugs him.
“Bernard is picking on me.” Crystale whines.
“She started it.” Bernard said.
“Okay you two that’s enough.” Barbas replied.
Santa walks over to them.
“Could I talk to talk you alone Barbas?” Santa asked.
“Yeah sure Santa.” Barbas said.
“Alright than let’s go.” Santa replied.
“Behave yourself Bernard.” Barbas said.
Santa and Barbas walk off.
Bernard grins than starts picking on his sister again.
“Didn’t you hear what dad said to you?” Crystale asked.
“I’m not afraid of dad.” Bernard answered.
A few minutes later Barbas comes back.
“What did Santa want you for dad?” Crystale asked.
“I’ve be promoted to his head elf.” Barbas answered.
“That’s so great.” Crystale said as she hugs him.
~End of flashback~
Angelica walks over to them.
“Where did Bernard go?” Angelica asked.
“He probably went to where he’s been going since he was a little elf when he gets mad.” Barbas answered.
“What made him mad?” Angelica asked.
“It was something that he found that Aurora and I have been keeping for him and Crystale.” Barbas answered.
“What are you talking about?” Crystale asked.
“You’re not 1219 years old.” Barbas answered.
“How old I am than?” Crystale asked.
“You’re 1228 years old.” Barbas answered.
“How can I be the same age as my brother?” Crystale asked.
“That’s very simple because you and Bernard are twins.” Barbas answered.
Angelica gasps.
“Wow.” Angelica said.
“I’ve always wondered why Bernard and I look some much alike.” Crystale replied.
All of a sudden they all hear someone singing.
“Who’s singing?” Carol asked.
“I’ve heard that singing voice before when I first become Santa all those years ago.” Santa answered.
The singer gets a louder. Curtis shakes his head and Crystale follows it outside the workshop. Angelica follows Crystale too.
I can see that you've been crying
You can't hide it with a lie
What's the use in you denying
That what you have is wrong
I heard him promise you forever
But forevers come and go
Baby, he would say whatever
It takes to keep you blind
Tell the truth between the lies, oh
I will love you more than that
I won't say the words
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that
Baby, you deserve much better
What's the use in holding on
Don’t you see it’s now or never
'Cause I just can’t be friends
Baby knowing in the end, that..
I will love you more than that
I WON'T say the words
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
Hey...
There's not a day that passes by
I don't wonder why we haven’t tried
It's not too late to change your mind
So take my hand, don’t say goodbye
I will love you more than that
I WON'T say the words
Then take them back (ohhh)
I will love you more than that (that)
I WON'T say the words (the words)
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that (ohhh)
I will love you more than that
I WON'T say the words
Then take them back
Don't give loneliness a chance
Baby listen to me when I say
I will love you more than that
Crystale looks up at the roof of Santa’s Workshop and sees her twin brother.
“How in the world did he get up there?” Crystale asked.
Angelica looks at where Crystale is looking and sees Bernard too.
“I have no idea but he’s scaring me being up that high.” Angelica answered.
Angelica takes her eyes away for a minute than when she looks up again to find that Bernard isn’t there.
“Now where did he go?” Angelica asked.
Bernard walks up behind Angelica than wraps his arms around her.
“I’m right here my angel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica turns to face Bernard.
“Where you the one singing?” Crystale asked.
Bernard smiles.
“Yes I was.” Bernard answered.
Angelica hugs Bernard.
“You have such amazing and gorgeous singing voice.” Angelica said.
“Thanks my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks away than notices Ivy and Garland kissing. Crystale sighs than notices Chandler coming over and she blushes a little. Bernard sighs deeply.
“Are you okay my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
Bernard shakes his head.
“No I’m not my angel.” Bernard answered.
“Have you been using your elf magic again?” Angelica asked.
“No not at all.” Bernard answered.
Bernard sighs deeply again.
“Don’t lie to me Bernard because I know by now how you get when you’re weak from using your elf magic.” Angelica said.
“Okay, okay I have being using my elf magic but it was for a good reason.” Bernard answered.
“What do you mean?” Angelica asked.
“If you follow me my angel than you’ll find out.” Bernard answered.
Bernard takes Angelica by the hand and they go on crisp moonlight walk around Santa’s Village. While they walk they are frequent hugging and kissing. They walk for awhile than Bernard stops and put his arms around Angelica as they watch the sunset over the horizon of the North Pole. Bernard snaps his fingers and the CD player that he borrowed from Santa’s Workshop starts playing “How I Did I Fall In Love With You” starts to play. Bernard smiles.
“Would you like to dance with me my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I would love to dance with you my teddy bear.” Angelica answered.
Bernard pulls Angelica close to him and they start slowing dancing.
Angelica lays her head on Bernard’s shoulder. Barbas is watching from the window of Santa’s Workshop. Angelica starts to shiver a little. Bernard wraps his arms tighter around Angelica and uses his elf magic to keep her warm.
“Don’t you use too much of your elf magic or you’ll get weak again.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles. A few minutes later the song “What I’ve Been Looking For” starts to play. Bernard and Angelica continue daicing. A few minutes later that song is over too.
“Why did you play those songs?” Angelica asked.
“They are our special songs but I wanted us to have just one special song but I couldn’t decide between those two because they suit us so perfectly.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles.
“There you go getting all deep again but I don’t mind because that’s one of the biggest things that I love about you.” Angelica said as she pull Bernard close and kissed him like she’s never kissed him before.
Bernard’s eyes widen than he just smiles and kisses her too. A few minutes later they break apart.
“Would like your anniversary present?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I would.” Angelica answered.
Bernard takes a little box of his bag around his shoulder. Angelica’s eyes widen as Bernard opens it to reveal a 10kt gold pearl diamond promise ring.
"Angelica I want to know that no matter what I will always be there for you. You have changed me so much and shown me what love truly is. This ring is my promise that someday you'll be my wife." Bernard said.
"Oh, Bernard it's gorgeous just like you. I love it just as much as I love you." Angelica said as she hugs and kissed Bernard extremely passionately.
They break apart a few minutes later and Bernard puts the promise ring on Angelica’s finger. They walk inside hand in hand. Bernard kisses Angelica than goes up to his bedroom. Angelica goes to her bedroom that she shares with Ivy.
Ivy watching “The Grinch”. Angelica falls onto the bed and lets a long happy sigh.
“Why are you so happy all of a sudden?” Ivy asked.
“I’m lucky that why I’m happy.” Angelica answered.
“What do you mean you’re lucky?” Ivy asked.
“I’m lucky because I have such a gorgeous and romantic boyfriend.” Angelica answered.
Ivy suddenly notices the ring on Angelica’s hand and she gasps.
“Where did you get that beautiful ring?” Ivy asked.
“It’s my anniversary present from Bernard and no it’s not an engagement ring.” Angelica answered.
“What is than?” Ivy asked.
“It’s a promise ring.” Angelica answered.
A few hours Bernard wakes up and can’t back to sleep so he decides to go for a walk. Bernard sudden comes to Angelica and Ivy’s bedroom. Angelica is sleeping soundly. Bernard tip-toes into the room and over to Angelica’s bed. Angelica smiles in her sleep. Bernard sits on the bed than brushes one of Angelica’s braids away from her from her face and kisses her on the forehead.
“Sweet dreams my angel and I love you.” Bernard said.
Bernard goes back to his room and falls asleep again.

Chapter 7
Elf Games In Santa’s Village

There’s an airplane flying over the North Pole when suddenly the radar starts beeping.
“I’m getting something on the sonar.” A guy said.
“What it is?” the captain asked.
“I’m getting strong readings from underneath the cap rock sir.” The guy answered.
“Possible oil flow?” the captain asked.
“Still analyzing.” the guy answered.
The machine is beeping.
“It’s uh….it sounds like tiny little hammers.” the guy said.
~Meanwhile under the ice in Santa’s Village the elves are hard at work making toys and in the Elf Radar Headquarters~
“They’re coming right at us.” Jolly said.
Bernard sighs.
“Take us to Elfcon 3.” Bernard replied.
Bernard is sitting the computer and he starts pushes the buttons.
“These guys aren’t stopping.” Bernard said.
“What now head elf?” Garland asked.
“Take us to Elfcon 2.” Bernard answered.
Bernard pushes more buttons.
Santa sudden comes up from the floor and puts out the North Pole telescope.
“We have a partridge in a pear tree.” Santa said.
“Yep.” Garland replied.
“You take us to Elfcon 1.” Santa said.
“Let’s rig for silent running. Look alive, everybody.” Santa replied.
“Okay we’re at Elfcon 1.” Chandler replied.
The alarm starts sounding and the machine slows down.
Bernard is watching the monitor with the other elves and Santa.
~Meanwhile above the ice~
“I lost it.” the guy said.
“What do you mean you lost it?” the captain asked.
“Wait!” The guy said.
“What the?” the guy asked.
“Uh...Sir you’re gonna want to hear this.” The guy said.
The guy turns up the sound to reveal Smokey Robinson singing Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
~Meanwhile back under the ice the elves and Santa hear the music too~
“Find out where that music’s coming from!” Santa said.
“Okay.” Jolly replied.
Jolly starts searching the Santa’s workshop on the computer than finds out where it’s coming from. Bernard sighs than marches to where Curtis is lying in a sleigh with a singing Santa Claus on his stomach.
Bernard shuts off the singing Santa Claus and throws across the workshop.
“Hey I was listening to that.” Curtis yelled.
“Didn’t you hear the alarm?” Bernard asked in scream.
“Yeah I did so big deal.” Curtis answered.
“It is so a big deal because you almost made us get discovered.” Bernard yelled.
“You really need calm yourself down.” Curtis said.
“Don’t tell me what do because I’m head elf remember you got it and don’t forget it.” Bernard yelled.
Curtis shakes his head than goes over to where the singing Santa is and turns it again. Bernard walks over to Curtis and takes the singing Santa away from him again than throws it so hard against a wall that it smashes.
"Grow up Curtis and start acting your age.” Bernard yelled.
"You should take your own advice because and act your age too." Curtis screamed.
"Oh that's nice coming from you and don't tell me to act my age because I'm a lot older than you. Bernard yelled.
"Stop rubbing it in." Curtis screamed.
Angelica is up in her room all sad because Ivy went to visit her family for a few days. Angelica sudden hears the yelling and she recognizes Bernard’s voices as one of the elves yelling. Angelica gets to her feet than goes to where they are and watches for a few minutes.
"Don't you start with me or I'll tell....." Bernard yelled as Angelica came over and kisses him to make be quiet. Curtis laughs. Bernard glares at Curtis. Angelica breaks the kiss than Bernard goes to say something to Curtis but Angelica covers his mouth with her hand.
"That's enough Bernard." Angelica said.
Angelica takes her head away from Bernard’s mouth.
"But he started it." Bernard replied.
"I don't care who started it because it's ending right now." Angelica said.
"Oh she's got you so totally wrapped around her little finger." Curtis replied.
“You stay out of this.” Bernard yelled.
“Well I’m only telling it as I see it.” Curtis said.
Bernard growls and Angelica clears throat.
“I’m going to be head elf one and there’s nothing you can do about it.” Curtis screamed.
“Not in this life Curtis and I’m staying head elf forever because I’m a lot better at it than you could ever be.” Bernard yelled.
Angelica smiles a little.
“Bernard is so gorgeous when he gets angry.” Angelica thinks to herself.
“Yeah right in your dreams Bernard.” Curtis screamed.
“Okay you know what you’re really starting to get on my nerves and trust me if you don’t stop that I won’t be reasonable for…..” Bernard starts to say as Angelica kisses him again.
Curtis snickers. A few minutes later they break the kiss.
“You won’t be snickering like that when I’m done with you.” Bernard yelled.
“Bernard calm down right now and stop fighting with Curtis.” Angelica said.
Bernard shakes his head than walks off.
“Get back here Bernard.” Angelica screamed.
Bernard stops than turns around and walks over to Angelica.
“Just kidding my angel.” Bernard said.
Curtis shakes his head than walks off. The elves are way ahead of schedule with the Christmas presents. It’s the early hours of the morning. Angelica wakes up than goes downstairs to find Crystale talking to Chandler. Chandler sudden leans over kisses Crystale. Angelica sighs. Angelica notices Bernard sitting on the floor on the other side of Santa’s Workshop. Angelica walks over to where Bernard is sitting.
“What’s wrong my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I had a hard time sleeping last night.” Bernard answered.
Angelica sits down on the floor next to Bernard and gives him a hug. Bernard smiles than puts his arm around Angelica. Santa sudden appears on the balcony above the elves.
“Could I get everyone’s attention?” Santa asked.
“Yes Santa.” All the elves answered together.
Santa smiles.
“You’ve all been working so hard so I have decided to give you the day off to enjoy yourselves.” Santa said.
A few hours later the elves are doing lots of things liking play cars and singing.
Ivy and Garland are in the corner kissing passionately. Angelica walks over to them and clears her throat. Ivy looks at Angelica.
“Yes Angelica.” Ivy said.
“Have you seen Bernard?” Angelica asked.
“No I haven’t seen in quite awhile.” Ivy answered.
Angelica lets out long sigh.
“I really wish that he would stop the disappearing act on me because everytime he does it I get worried about him.” Angelica said.
Chandler walks over to the window than smiles.
“I know where he is.” Chandler replied.
“Where?” Angelica asked.
“Come and see for yourself.” Chandler answered.
Angelica walks to the window and looks out to see Bernard skating on the outside ice rink. Angelica runs to her room than gets her skates and runs out the ice rink. Bernard is skating around the ice and singing at the same time.

“Are the rest of you as bored as I am?” Garland asked.
“Well I don’t about everyone else but I know that I am.” Bernard answered.
Santa sudden appears.
“I have an idea to get you elves out of your boredom.” Santa said.
“What it is Santa?” Chandler asked

“What type of games?” Curtis asked.
“Oh like bowling, tinsel football, ice hockey and to end the day a snowball fight.” Santa answered.
“Wow sounds like fun,” Garland said.
Bernard sighs.
“You count me out Santa.” Bernard replied.
“What’s the matter? Are you chicken?” Curtis asked.
“There is nothing wrong and I’m not a chicken I’m an elf.” Bernard answered.
“Why don’t you want to participate my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I’m not into that kind of thing my angel.” Bernard answered.
“Well I think you should give it a try because you’ll have a really good time.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles than pulls Angelica to close to him.
“Alright I’ll do for you.” Bernard said.
“There’s more too this idea of mine.” Santa replied.
“What are you talking about?” Garland asked.
“I was thinking that elf that shows the most participation should get a trophy.” Santa answered.
“That’s a good idea Santa and I’m the one that will get that trophy.” Curtis said.
Bernard rolls his eyes.
“What are we playing first?” Jingle asked.
“The first elf game is ice hockey.” Santa answered.
“Can I be a goalie Santa?” Curtis asked.
“Yeah sure of course and I’ll be the other one.” Santa answered.

“I know that Bernard so just be quiet.” Curtis yelled.
“Don’t you start again” Bernard screamed.
Angelica sighs.
“What I am going to with that boyfriend of mine? Will he ever stop fighting with Curtis?” Angelica asked in her mind.

“That was just too weird.” Bernard said in his mind.
A few minutes later it’s the last minute of the game. Chandler hits the puck and it goes flying at Bernard again. Bernard gasps than ducks again as the puck goes over his head. Jingle takes the puck than scores on Curtis. Bernard blows the whistle to end the game than marches over to Curtis.
“You obviously don’t know how to play ice hockey that well.” Bernard yelled.
“I was trying my best.” Curtis said.
“Well next time try harder.” Bernard yelled.
Santa shakes his head.
“Okay elves it’s time to play tinsel football.” Santa said.
“Are you going to play?” Chandler asked looking at Bernard.
“Yeah I am and I’ve always wanted to play tinsel football.” Bernard answered.
They all get ready than Santa takes the ball. Bernard runs at Santa than takes the ball and runs to the end zone than throws the ball down.

"Alright I'll tell but if he asks how you found out you didn't hear it from me." Santa answered.
"Will you just tell me?" Angelica asked.

Chapter 10
Angelica’s Birthday

The months go by and now it’s December. It’s also Angelica’s birthday but nobody knows except for Santa that is. Angelica is up her room bawling her eyes out. Bernard is in his room when suddenly he sees Angelica crying in his heart and he feels her sadness. Bernard jumps to his feet than runs as fast as he can to Angelica’s room. Angelica is sitting on the window seat looking out at Santa’s Village. Bernard comes behind her than wraps his arms around and pulls her up close to him.
“What’s wrong my angel?” Bernard asked.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Today is a very special day for me but I’m not telling you why because have to guess.” Angelica answered.
Angelica gets to her feet leaves the room and Bernard follows her.
“Come please tell me what today is.” Bernard said.
“No, now leave me alone.” Angelica yelled.
Angelica walks off looking sad. Bernard walks to the elf archives than looks at Angelica’s profile.
“Oh, no wonder she’s mad and I have to do something to cheer her up.” Bernard said.
Bernard goes to the workshop than makes an Angelica name necklace for his angel than puts into his shoulder bag. Bernard sighs than walks up to his room and goes onto his laptop to find a song that he can sing to Angelica. Bernard suddenly comes across the song “Shape Of My Heart” by Backstreet Boys so he prints a copy of it and puts into his shoulder bag. Bernard walks down the kitchen. The head elf cook Evan looks up as Bernard walks into the kitchen.
“What can I help you with Bernard?” Evan asked.
“I need your help with making me a Gingerbread cake.” Bernard answered.
“Why?” Evan asked.
“Today is Angelica’s birthday and I want to make it as special as I can.” Bernard answered.
Evan smiles a little. Bernard makes the Gingerbread cake by himself than puts into the oven. All of a sudden the oven starts to smoke and the fire alarms go off.
“Go job Bernard you burn it.” said.
“Ah, I stink at cooking.” Bernard replied in yelled.
“How about trying it one more time?” Evan asked.
“Okay I’ll try.” Bernard answered.
Evan smiles than takes the burnt cake out of the oven and throws it in the garbage can. Bernard sighs that makes another cake and puts it into the oven.
A few minutes later the timer goes off.
“See I knew you could it you just to believe in yourself.” Evan said.
Bernard takes the cake out the oven than puts into the fridge for later.
Ivy comes running into the kitchen.
“Bernard, you need to come with me.” Ivy said.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Bernard asked.
“It’s Angelica.” Ivy answered.
“What about her? Is she alright?” Bernard asked.
“No she’s not because she is really upset and she won’t stop crying.” Ivy answered.
Bernard runs to where Angelica is than pulls her close and her crying calms down a little.
“It’s okay my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks up at Bernard.
“I’m sorry it’s just that I’m so upset right now.” Angelica replied.
Bernard takes the Angelica name necklace out his shoulder bag and gives it to her.
“This for you my angel.” Bernard said
“Why?” Angelica asked.
“It’s part of your birthday present from me.” Bernard answered.
“How did you figure out it was my birthday?” Angelica asked.
“I check your profile in the elf archives.” Bernard answered.
“Oh okay.” Angelica said.
“How old are you today anyway?” Bernard asked.
“I’m 1228 today.” Angelica answered.
“Oh wow only a year than me.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“You’re 1229?” Angelica asked.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yeah I am.” Bernard answered.
Bernard sighs deeply.
“Are you weak again?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah just a little.” Bernard answered.
“What have I told you about using your elf magic so much?” Angelica asked.
“That you don’t want me using them as much.” Bernard answered.
“Why won’t you listen to me? Do you want to end up serious condition from using your elf magic so much?” Angelica asked.
Bernard sighs deeply again.
“No I don’t want that but I can’t stop making the jewelry because if I do than nobody will get any.” Bernard answered.
“Well just make less because I don’t want anything to happen to you.” Angelica said as tears start falling from her eyes.
Bernard wraps his arms around Angelica.
“Please there’s no need to cry about because I’ll be fine really.” Bernard said.
Angelica looks up at Bernard.
“I love you Bernard.” Angelica replied.
Bernard smiles than kisses Angelica than breaks it a few minutes later.
“I love you too Angelica.” Bernard said.
Bernard runs to the kitchen to get the Gingerbread cake and takes it back to Angelica.
“What’s this?” Angelica asked.
“This is the second part of your present.” Bernard answered.
“Did you make it?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah I did but this is the second one that I made.” Bernard answered.
“What happen to the first one?” Angelica asked.
“I burnt it.” Bernard answered.
“You what?” Angelica asked.
Bernard sighs.
“You heard me.” Bernard answered.
Angelica starts laughing.
“It’s not funny.” Bernard yelled.
Santa is watching from a distance and he smiles a little.
All of a sudden Melody starts chasing Stephen around the workshop.
“Ah Melody leave me alone.” Stephen screamed.
Bernard steps in front of Stephen.
“Oh come you like her and she likes you now just kiss her already.” Bernard said.
“I don’t want to kiss her.” Stephen yelled.
All of a sudden Melody catches up with Stephen. Bernard uses his elf magic to make mistletoe above them.
“You might want to look up.” Bernard said.
Melody and Stephen look up.
“Oh no Bernard.” Stephen groans.
Melody pulls Stephen close and kisses him passionately. Bernard smiles than walks over to Angelica and pulls her close to him. Angelica smiles.
“I love it when he wraps his arms around me.” Angelica thinks to herself.
Bernard hears what she thinks and smiles a little.
Angelica notices him smiling.
“Why are you smiling like that for?” Angelica asked.
“Oh I just felt like. Okay that was a lie and I was smiling about what you were thinking about.” Bernard answered.
“What? Since when are you able to read my mind?” Angelica asked.
“I’ve been able to read your mind for a few months now.” Bernard answered.
“Same here.” Angelica said.
“What?” Bernard asked.
“You heard me my teddy bear.” Angelica answered.
“Whoa, it looks like our bond is growing stronger.” Bernard said.
“Yeah it does look the way.” Angelica replied.
“There’s something I need to tell you.” Bernard said.
“What’s that my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“It’s about two of my elf powers that are kind of secret.” Bernard answered.
“What elf powers are those?” Angelica asked.
“I can fly.” Bernard answered.
“Really? Could you show me?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah sure of course.” Bernard answered.
Bernard concentrates all his elf magic than lifts of the ground and flies around workshop.
“I wish that I could fly like that but sadly I can’t.” Angelica said in her mind.
Bernard hears Angelica’s thoughts than swoops down and takes her hand than they fly around the outside for awhile. Bernard brings them back down to the ground. They walk back inside.
“What’s your other secret elf power?” Angelica asked.
“If I tell you I have a feel something’s going to happen.” Bernard answered.
“Oh well just tell me already.” Angelica said.
“I need to ask you something first.” Bernard replied.
“Alright ask away.” Angelica said.
“Have you ever heard the elf power called Empathic Navigation?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I have heard of it.” Angelica answered.
“Do you know what happens when an elf has it?” Bernard asked.
“They can see with the heart and feel people sadness with their heart.” Angelica answered.
Bernard nods his head.
“You got it my angel and that’s my other secret elf power.” Bernard said.
Angelica whimpers than she suddenly faints but Bernard catches her in his arms.
Bernard looks down at Angelica just as she opens her eyes again.
“Are you okay my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I’m fine but finding that you have the most specialist elf magic power of was a little shocking.” Angelica answered.
“I have one more thing for your birthday.” Bernard said.
“What’s that?” Angelica asked.
“I want to sing a song to you.” Bernard answered.
“Really?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah really, really.” Bernard answered.
“I love hearing you sing.” Angelica said.
Bernard and Angelica walk up to his bedroom.
Angelica sits on the bed and Bernard turns his CD Player to song disc 3 song 4.
The song starts playing and Bernard starts to sing along with it.
Hmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here don't put out the glow
Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Sadness is beautiful loneliness that's tragical
So help me I can't win this war, oh no
Touch me now don't bother if every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man I've become
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
I'm here with my confession
Got nothing to hide no more
I don't know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart
I'm lookin' back on things I've done
I never wanna play the same old part
I'll keep you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart
Lookin' back on the things I've done
I was tryin' to be someone
I played my part, kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of
Show you the shape of my heart
Angelica gets to her feet and hugs Bernard.
“That was wonderful my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles.
“I’ve been thinking about something.” Bernard replied.
“What’s that my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“Um…I was thinking just so that I can keep a better eye on you and be with you more that you could move into my room but that’s totally up to you.” Bernard answered.
"(Screams) I'd love to. Because I would love to be closer to the love of my life." Angelica said.
Bernard kisses Angelica.
“I’m so glad that you feel that way my angel.” Bernard replied.
“What about Chandler?” Angelica asked.
“He could go across the room with Curtis.” Bernard answered.
“Doesn’t Curtis share a room with Garland?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah he does but I’m going to talk him about staying with Ivy plus she needs right now.” Bernard answered.
Bernard kisses Angelica than goes off to the find Garland.
“Could I talk to you please?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure.” Garland answered.
“How would like to be closer to your girlfriend?” Bernard asked.
“Wow would I ever especially now because she needs me so much.” Garland answered.
“Okay than it’s settled you are going to move in Ivy’s room with her.” Bernard said.
“Isn’t Angelica her roommate?” Garland asked.
“Not anymore because she’s decided to move into my room with me.” Bernard answered.
Santa overhears than comes over.
“Did I hear you right? Did Angelica really decided to move into your room with you?” Santa asked.
“Yes you heard right and yes she did.” Bernard answered.
“Well I’m sorry I can’t allow it.” Santa said.
Bernard glares at Santa.
“What do you mean you can’t allow it?” Bernard asked with his voice raising a little.
“I mean that it won’t be a good idea because one elf around here being pregnant is enough.” Santa answered.
“Oh come on Santa, We aren’t going to do that at least not yet.” Bernard said.
“Are you absolutely sure about that?” Santa asked.
“Yes I am.” Bernard answered.
“Alright she can share your room but you have to sleep in separate beds.” Santa said.
“Fine than.” Bernard replied as he walked off.
Chandler is walking around the workshop and Bernard approaches him.
“What would you like?” Chandler asked.
“I would like to know if you’d be willing to share a room with Curtis.” Bernard answered.
“Why?” Chandler asked.
“I’ve asked Angelica to share my bedroom with me.” Bernard answered.
“Wow okay and sure I’ll share with Curtis.” Chandler said.
Garland moves his things into Ivy’s room. Chandler moves his things into Curtis’s room and Angelica moves her stuff in Bernard’s room. Angelica lies on Bernard’s bed and starts at the ceiling just as Bernard comes in. Bernard sits down next to her.
“Hi my angel.” Bernard said as he joins her.
Angelica looks at Bernard than kisses him passionately.
“Hi my teddy bear.” Angelica replied.
“I’m so glad that you decided to share my room with me when I asked because the truth is that before when we were in different rooms I really missed you at nighttime.” Bernard said.
“Why is that?” Angelica asked.
“It was because I felt incomplete without you around at night and I sometimes lay here than find myself thinking about you.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles.
“I love you Bernard.” Angelica said.
Bernard pulls Angelica close to him.
“I love you too Angelica.” Bernard replied.
They close their eyes and fall asleep in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 11
The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Angelica is down in the workshop when suddenly Santa comes in to check on everyone. Angelica walks over to Santa.
“Could I speak with you alone please Santa?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah sure of course you can.” Santa answered.
Angelica and Santa go somewhere they can talk alone.
“I bet you’re wondering why I wanted to talk to you right.” Angelica said.
“Well yeah that thought did cross my mind.” Santa replied.
“Could we do something to help Bernard control the level of his elf magic?” Angelica asked.
“That is actually a good idea because he doesn’t use it wisely.” Santa answered.
“Yeah I know that Santa and when he takes the weak spells it really scares because I have a feeling that one day his elf magic is going get so low that he could end up sick from it.” Angelica said.
“What do you think we should do about it?” Santa asked.
“I was thinking that you could alternate your watch for him and put the magic level up to 30 than tell him that if it gets down to 10 he’s in serious trouble.” Angelica answered.
“That’s a good idea.” Santa said.
Angelica smiles than walks over to where the elves are making the toys and stops one of the elves having some trouble. Angelica walks over to elf having trouble.
“What seems to be the problem here Cherry?” Angelica asked.
“I can’t seem to get this toy work properly.” Cherry answered.
Angelica picks up the toy and looks it over than takes something off it and passes it back to Cherry
“How about trying it now?” Angelica asked.
“Okay.” Cherry answered.
Cherry tries the toy again and this time it works.
“It had too much weight on it.” Angelica said.
Cherry smiles.
“Thanks for the help Angelica.” Cherry replied.
Angelica smiles than walks off. Bernard sneaks up behind Angelica and wraps his arms around her.
“Good morning my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles at hearing Bernard say that. Bernard turns Angelica around so she’s facing him and kisses her passionately.
“Bonjour Bernard.” Angelica said with a smile.
Bernard smiles. A few days pass and now’s two days before Christmas Eve.
Bernard is up his and Angelica’s bedroom sitting by the window. Angelica comes into their room than walks over to him and wraps her arms around him. Bernard has his green hat off. Angelica smiles than runs her hand through his black curly hair. Bernard gets to his feet than pulls Angelica close to him.
“Why did you do that?” Bernard asked looking down into Angelica’s blue eyes.
"The truth is I have always wanted to do that." Angelica answered.
Bernard gets angry and storms out of the room. Angelica runs after him but he's already out of sight. Angelica knows exactly where he is which is outside sitting on the steps going into Santa's Workshop. Angelica sits down next to him. Bernard looks at Angelica than looks the other way.
"Why did you storm off like that? Did I do something wrong?" Angelica asked.
“There only one that touches my hair is me.” Bernard answered in yell.
“Fine if that’s way you’re going to be about it than we’re through.” Angelica screamed.
Angelica gets her feet than starts walking off. Bernard just stares at place where she was sitting.
“What have I done? Why was I so hard on her? What I am going to do?” Bernard asked.
Angelica is running as fast as she can. Bernard gets to his feet than runs after Angelica. Bernard is really fast so he catches up with Angelica in no time than pulls her close to him. Angelica looks up at him.
“Please my angel, I’m really sorry and you can touch my hair whenever you want.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles than they kiss passionately. They break it a few minutes later.
Angelica smiles again than messes up Bernard’s hair a little. Bernard kisses the top of Angelica’s head than they walk back to their room hand in hand. Angelica lets out a long sigh. Bernard looks at Angelica.
What's the matter my angel?" Bernard asked.
"I just prefer when you wear your hat that's all." Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than takes his hat out of his shoulder bag and puts it on his head.
"Is that better my angel?" Bernard asked.
"Yeah it's a lot better my teddy bear." Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles and kisses Angelica.
It’s now the day before Christmas Eve. Angelica walks into the workshop than spots Bernard with his hat is off again. Bernard is talking to Jingle. Angelica walks up to Bernard and messes up his hair. Chandler sees the whole thing but he can’t believe it at all. A few hours pass and Bernard is talking with Santa. Angelica is watching the elves to make sure they are doing there jobs right. Chandler walks over to Angelica.
“You should consider yourself very lucky because if there is one thing that I’ve learned about my best friend it's that nobody touches his hair.” Chandler said.
Angelica smiles just as Bernard comes over and wraps his arms around her.
It’s now Christmas Eve. Santa is getting ready for his Christmas Eve trip.
Bernard has his arms wrapped around Angelica with his head lying on her shoulder. Santa leaves for to delivery the presents to the children of the world.
Angelica and Bernard go up their room to have some time alone. The night passes and now it’s Christmas day. Santa walks over to Bernard and passes him the brown box. Bernard opens it to reveal the watch.
“What are you giving this back to me?” Bernard asked.
“Angelica and I alternated so now you can use it to monitor your magic level.” Santa answered.
“Why do I need to that?” Bernard asked.
Angelica walks over to Bernard and hugs him.
“Santa and I are both very worried about you because you are always using too much of your elf magic so this way you’ll know how much you’ve used.” Angelica answered.
“Oh well thanks you two it’s wonderful.” Bernard said.
“There’s just one more thing about it.” Santa replied.
“What’s that?” Bernard asked.
“You are not to let the magic level on that watch get down to 10 or you will in serious trouble.” Angelica answered.
Bernard nods his head than runs up to his and Angelica’s room. Bernard comes back a few minutes later with a white/red gift bag and passes it to Angelica. Angelica opens the gift bag than she goes to say something but nothing comes out.
“Wow Bernard, you are best when it comes figuring out presets because I love it so much just like I love you.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles as Angelica runs off to their room and comes back with a brown bag and gives it to Bernard. Bernard opens the bag and smiles.
“Whoa, we were obviously think alike too.” Bernard as he takes the gingerbread boy out of the bag.
“His name is Bernard after you my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles.
“Well in that case your gingerbread girl should be named after you.” Bernard replied.
Angelica smiles than pulls Bernard close and kisses him passionately.

Chapter 12
A New Year’s Baby

It’s now the day before New Year’s Eve. Bernard is up in his and Angelica’s room thinking. Angelica comes into the room and notices Bernard deep in thought. Angelica smiles than lays on Bernard’s bed and stares at the ceiling. Bernard suddenly notices Angelica than joins her.
“Where have you been?” Bernard asked.
“I was visiting with Ivy and Garland.” Angelica answered.
“How is Ivy doing?” Bernard asked.
“She’s doing just fine.” Angelica answered.
Bernard wraps his arms around Angelica and kisses her. They fall asleep together in each other’s embrace. It’s now December 31st and 7 hours away from midnight. Bernard is walking around the workshop when suddenly he hears something so he follows it. Ivy is sitting on the steps of the workshop crying. Bernard sits down next to Ivy.
“What’s the matter Ivy?” Bernard asked.
“It just seems lately that Garland doesn’t care about me anymore.” Ivy answered.
“What would make you say something like?” Bernard asked.
“For starters when he tells me that he loves me he won’t make eye contact with me, he is always snapped at me and when he gets angry he just leaves without telling where he’s going.” Ivy answered.
“Would you like me to talk to him?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah that would great if you did.” Ivy answered.
Ivy gets to her feet and so does Bernard. Ivy gives Bernard a hug. Bernard smiles than walks off to find Garland. Angelica seen the whole thing so she walks over to Bernard.
“Why did Ivy hug you?” Angelica asked.
“She’s having a little trouble with Garland so I was helping her out and that’s why she hugged me.” Bernard answered.
“You are always doing so much for everyone else and that’s the biggest thing that I love about you.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles than continues on his way to find Garland. Bernard finds Garland up in his bedroom. Bernard knocks on the door and Garland looks up.
“Come in Bernard.” Garland replied.
Bernard walks into the room and sits on the bed.
“Do you still love Ivy?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah of course I do.” Garland answered.
“Are you absolutely sure about that?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I’m sure.” Garland answered.
“Why have been so distance from her lately?” Bernard asked.
“I’m just really nervous about the baby that she’s carrying.” Garland answered.
“Well that’s no reason to be so distance from her because right now is the time that she needs you the most.” Bernard said.
Garland gets to his feet than goes off to find Ivy. Bernard smiles than goes his and Angelica’s room. Angelica is sitting on the bed. Bernard sits on the bed beside her and pulls her close to him. They stay like that for a couple of hours than they go downstairs with everyone else to wait for the new year. The hours passed and now it’s 20 minutes to 12. Bernard wraps his arms around Angelica.
A few minutes pass again and now it’s 10 to 12.
“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,1.” Everyone said together.
Bernard spins Angelica around and kisses her very passionately. Chandler does the same to Crystale. Santa does the same to Carol and Garland does the same to Ivy.
“Happy New Year my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles.
“Happy New Year to you my angel.” Bernard replied.
All of a sudden Ivy lets an earsplitting scream. Garland looks at Ivy than notices the puddle of water under her feet. Garland gasps just as Bernard notices it too.
“Oh no, we need to get her to the elf doctor right away.” Garland said.
“Why Garland?” Angelica asked.
“She’s in labor that’s why.” Bernard answered.
Shaun the elf doctor takes Ivy to his office. An hour later Shaun comes out to get Garland.
“Could you come with me?” Shaun asked.
“Yeah of course.” Garland answered.
Garland follows Shaun to where Ivy is holing a baby wrapped in a pink blanket.
“Come here Garland.” Ivy said.
Garland walks over to Ivy’s beside and looks down at the bundle of joy in his girlfriend’s arms.
“Does she have a name yet?” Garland asked.
“Yes she does and it’s Neige.” Ivy answered.
“Why that name?” Garland asked.
“It’s French for snow.” Ivy answered.
“Oh cute name sweetie.” Garland said.
Angelica comes into the room than walks over to Ivy and looks down at the baby in her best friend’s arms.
“Awe…she’s so adorable.” Angelica replied.
Carol comes running in.
“Angelica I need you to come quick.” Carol said.
“What’s wrong?” Angelica asked.
“I just need to come with me that’s all.” Carol answered.
Angelica follows Carol to workshop to find that there’s nobody around.
“What’s going on?” Angelica asked.
All of a sudden the Christmas lights come on than slow music starts playing and there’s suddenly mistletoe everywhere.
“I think you can figure out what’s going on here now so I’ll leave.” Carol answered.
Carol leaves to join Santa. Angelica looks around just as Bernard comes up behind her and wraps his arms around her. Angelica looks up into Bernard’s brown eyes. Bernard smiles.
“Why did you do all this?” Angelica asked.
“I just felt like it my angel.” Bernard answered.
“How much elf magic did you use?” Angelica asked.
“I only used a little bit.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles than turns to face Bernard and kisses him. Bernard pulls her close to him and they start slowly dancing. They dance for a few hours than go outside. Bernard walks to the kitchen and Angelica follows him.
“What are you doing in here?” Angelica asked.
“I’m going make something to drink.” Bernard answered.
Bernard gets the honey and milk.
“What are you going to make with that?” Angelica asked.
“I’m going to make Honey Bee Milk.” Bernard answered.
Angelica sits down and watches Bernard. Bernard puts a cup of milk into a glass than puts a 1 tablespoon of honey into the glass than stirs it up. Bernard takes a sip of it. Angelica is sitting watching him.
“Did you want to try some?” Bernard asked.
“Nah! I think I’ll pass thanks.” Angelica answered.
Bernard takes the glass of Honey Bee Milk up to his and Angelica’s bedroom. Angelica follows him. Bernard sits on the window seat and looks out at Santa’s Village. Angelica sits down next to him.
“Is there anything bothering you?” Angelica asked.
“No I’m fine.” Bernard answered.
Angelica sighs.
“I’ll be back in a few minutes.” Angelica said.
Bernard nods his head. Angelica leaves. Bernard turns on the CD player to disc 5 song 2. The song “I Will Come To You” By Hanson starts to play and Bernard starts to sing along.
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Sometimes when all your dreams may have seen better days
And you don't know how or why, but you've lost your way
Have no fear when your tears are fallin'
I will hear your spirit callin'
And I swear I'll be there come what may
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
I will come to you
'Cause even if we can't be together
We'll be friends now and forever
And I swear that I'll be there come what may
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
We all need somebody we can turn to
Someone who'll always understand
So if you feel that your soul is dyin'
And you need the strength to keep tryin'
I'll reach out and take your hand
I'll reach out and take your hand
Oh I will come to you
When you have no light to guide you
And no one to walk to walk beside you
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
When the night is dark and stormy
You won't have to reach out for me
I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
Oh I will come to you
I will come to you,
Oh I will come to you
Angelica is walking back to their room and she hears him singing. Angelica smiles.
“I love it when he sings.” Angelica said.
Angelica walks into the room to find Bernard sitting on the bed. Angelica sits down next Bernard and lays her head on his shoulder. Bernard sighs deeply.
“Please say you’re not weak.” Angelica replied.
“I can’t say that because it would a lie but don’t worry I’m not that weak.” Bernard said.
Angelica hugs Bernard and he hugs her back. They start kissing passionately and kiss for a few hours than go to bed in each other’s embrace.

Chapter 13
Angelica Misses Bernard

Bernard is sitting in his and Angelica’s room being all bored. Angelica is visiting Ivy, Garland and Niege.
“Can I hold her?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah of course but remember to support her head.” Ivy answered as she places Niege in Angelica’s arms.
Angelica rocks Niege in her arms. Niege looks up at Angelica and coos.
“You’re going to make a really good mother someday Angelica.” Ivy said.
Angelica smiles than gives Niege back to Ivy. Angelica walks back to her room that she shares with Bernard. Bernard lets out a long sigh.
“What’s the matter my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I’m bored.” Bernard answered.
“How about we watch some movies?” Angelica asked.
“That’s a good idea my angel and I’ll go borrow a few from Santa.” Bernard answered.
Bernard gets to his feet than walks to Santa and Carol’s room than knocks on the door. Santa opens up the door.
“How may I help you Bernard?” Santa asked.
“I was wondering if I could borrow a few movies from you for Angelica and me to watch tonight.” Bernard answered.
“Yeah sure go right ahead.” Santa said.
Bernard walks into the Santa and Carol’s room. Bernard looks through the DVDS for awhile than settles on The Sound Of Music, Dreamer, Fly Away Home and The Parent Trap. Bernard takes them back to his and Angelica’s room.
“What movies did you get teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I borrow these four from Santa.” Bernard answered as he places the movies on their bed.
Angelica looks over them and starts smiling. Bernard notices Angelica smiling.
“What are you smiling my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I’m smiling because you picked out my favorite movie of all time.” Angelica answered.
“Which one is that?” Bernard asked.
“It’s The Sound of Music.” Angelica answered.
“Do you want to watch it first?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I do.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than gets to his feet than puts The Sound Of Music into his DVD player and presses play. The movie starts to play. Bernard sits down on the bed next to Angelica and pulls her close to him. Angelica smiles than lays her on Bernard’s shoulder. Bernard smiles too. A few hours later The Sound Of Music is over. Bernard takes it out of the DVD player and puts in Fly Away Home. A few hours later that movie is over too than he puts in Dreamer. A few hours later Dreamer is over too and he puts in The Parent Trap. They start watching it than suddenly Bernard starts kissing Angelica very passionately. Angelica’s eyes widen in shock than she pulls away from Bernard.
“What do you think you’re doing Bernard?” Angelica asked.
“I’m kissing the love of my life that’s what I’m doing.” Bernard answered.
“Those aren’t you normal kisses.” Angelica said.
“Alright you got me they aren’t my normal kisses my angel.” Bernard replied.
Angelica suddenly figures out what Bernard is up too. Angelica smiles than they start kissing each other passionately again. They kiss like for awhile than they start to make love. They stop around 4 in the morning and fall asleep in other’s embrace. It’s now a week later. Bernard is down in the workshop when suddenly Santa comes over with Mother Nature.
“What are you doing here mom?” Bernard asked.
“I was wondering if you’d like to come spend the day with me because we never hangout anymore.” Mother Nature answered.
Bernard smiles and hugs his mother.
“I love to hangout with you today mom but I have to say good-bye to the love of my life first.” Bernard said.
Bernard runs off to find Angelica. Angelica is up in Ivy and Garland’s room again holding Niege in her arms. Bernard walks into the room. Bernard smiles when he sees Angelica holding Niege. Ivy notices Bernard.
“She’s natural at it.” Ivy said.
“Yeah I can see that which only means that she will be a great mother when we a child someday.” Bernard replied.
Angelica looks up and notices Bernard. Angelica hands Niege to Garland than goes over and hugs Bernard. Bernard hugs Angelica back than they walk to their room.
“What do you want to do now?” Angelica asked.
“I would love just kiss all day but the truth I can’t.” Bernard answered.
“Why can’t you?” Angelica asked.
“My mother is downstairs waiting for me because she wants me to spend the day with her.” Bernard answered.
“Are you going to spend the day with her?” Angelica asked.
“Yes I am because I love her and I never get to spend anytime with anymore. She’s always so busy looking after nature and making sure that world is the way it’s supposed to be.” Bernard answered.
“What about me?” Angelica asked as tears start streaming down her cheeks.
“Awe my angel please don’t cry. We spend every waking moment together. I love you very much but we can’t be together all the time. We need time away from each because that was makes our love grow stronger.” Bernard answered.
“When will you be back?” Angelica asked.
“I’ll be back at suppertime my angel.” Bernard answered.
Angelica and Bernard hug than kisses very passionately. Bernard leaves to spend the day with his mother. Angelica lays on hers and Bernard’s bed than looks up at the ceiling. Angelica snaps her fingers than Bernard’s CD player starts playing. Angelica snaps her fingers again than switches to song 5. The song stats to playing and Angelica starts to sing along with it.

Ivy is walking by Angelica’s room and she hears her singing. Ivy walks into the room than sits down next to Angelica. Angelica smiles a little than starts crying. Angelica suddenly jumps up than runs to the bathroom and throws up. Ivy is still sitting on the bed when Angelica comes back.
“What was that all about?” Ivy asked.
“I not sure because one minute I was feeling just fine than next my stomach was turning somersaults.” Angelica answered.
“Why don’t you come to the elf doctor with me?” Ivy asked.
“That’s a good idea because he’ll be able to find out what’s wrong with me.” Angelica answered.
Ivy and Angelica walk to the elf hospital. Shaun the elf doctor comes over to them.
“What can I help you ladies with?” Shaun asked.
“Angelica just threw up a few minutes ago.” Ivy answered.
Shaun and Angelica go into his office. Shaun checks Angelica.
“Well you perfectly healthy Angelica and congratulations.” Shaun said.
Angelica gets a confused look on her face.
“Why are you congratulating me?” Angelica asked.
“I’m congratulating you because you’re pregnant.” Shaun answered.
Angelica’s eyes widen in shock.
“Are you serious?” Angelica asked.
“Yes I’m very serious.” Shaun answered.
Angelica looks at down at her stomach and starts smiling.
“Wow to think that the love between Bernard and I could create something this wonderful. I can’t wait to until he gets back from hanging out with his mother so that I can tell him.” Angelica thinks to herself.
Angelica goes back out to where Ivy is waiting. Ivy gets to her feet than walks over to Angelica.
“What did he have to say?” Ivy asked.
“I’m going to have a baby Ivy.” Angelica answered.
“Wow congratulations.” Ivy said as she hugged Angelica.
“Thanks Ivy but I just wish Bernard was here so that I could tell him.” Angelica replied.
“Where did he go?” Ivy asked.
“He went to spend the day with his mother.” Angelica answered.
“When will he be back?” Ivy asked.
“He will be back around suppertime.” Angelica answered.
The hours pass and it’s suppertime but there’s no sign of Bernard.
“Where is he? What is taking him so long?” Angelica asked.
“I don’t know and you really need to calm down because stressing isn’t good for your situation.” Ivy answered.
Garland walks up behind Ivy and wraps his arms around. Ivy smiles. Garland sudden notices someone that he’s never seen before.
“Who’s that guy?” Garland asked.
“I’m not sure.” Ivy answered.
Santa walks over the guy.
“Who are you?” Santa asked.
The guy smiles but says nothing. Santa glares at him. Mother Nature comes over to Santa. Santa looks at the way the guy is dressed.
“No way, it can’t be,” Santa said.
“Yes it can be and it is.” Mother Nature replied.
Angelica gasps than runs off to the bathroom. Ivy sighs deeply. Garland looks at Ivy.
“What’s wrong with her?” Garland asked.
“Take a guess.” Ivy answered.
“Is she..?” Garland asked.
“Yeah she is.” Ivy answered.
“Since when?” Garland asked.
“I don’t know I didn’t ask her that.” Ivy answered.
Angelica returns than Garland hugs her.
“Congratulations Angelica.” Garland said.
Angelica smiles a little. Santa comes over to them.
“Is there’s something I’m missing here?” Santa asked.
“Well you see Santa……I….there’s going to another baby elf around here very soon.” Angelica answered.
“What do you mean?” Santa asked.
“I mean that I’m pregnant.” Angelica answered.
Angelica sighs deeply than runs to the bathroom again. The guy elf walks over.
“What’s wrong with Angelica?” the guy asked.
“She’s um….well maybe she should tell you.” Santa answered.
Ivy’s eyes widen in shock.
“Is that you Bernard?” Ivy asked.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yes it is but you can’t tell Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“Why not?” Garland asked.
“My mother conceived me to change my look so to test our love.” Bernard answered.
“It’s just weird seeing you with hair straight.” Ivy said just as Angelica appears again.
Bernard gasps than runs off in the other direction. Angelica gets a confused look.
“What’s his problem?” Angelica asked.
“I don’t know.” Ivy answered.
The hours pass and Angelica is sitting of steps of the workshop bawling her eyes out. Bernard is close by watching Angelica. Bernard can’t take seeing his angel cry anymore. Bernard walks over to Santa.
“Can I talk to you?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure.” Santa answered.
They go out of earshot.
“Can we have a dance in the great hall?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah that’s a good idea.” Santa answered.
“Okay great and I think that Chandler should be the DJ.” Bernard said.
The elves get everything ready for the dance. Ivy and Garland are dancing with each other. Angelica is sitting on the bench by the wall. Bernard walks over to where Chandler.
“Could you play a song for me?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure I can.” Chandler answered.
“The song I want you to play is How Did I Fall In Love With You by Backstreet Boys.” Bernard said.
Chandler puts How Did I Fall In Love With You on. Bernard walks over to where Angelica than puts his hand and pulls her up. They walk out on the dance floor and start dancing. A strange feeling comes over Angelica like she’s done this before than she thinks back to when she danced with Bernard on their 6th month anniversary. Angelica gasps.
“Bernard.” Angelica said.
Bernard nods his head.
“Yes it’s me my angel.” Bernard replied.
Angelica hugs Bernard really tight than they starts kissing passionately. The other elves look at them and they suddenly know who he is too. Angelica sighs deeply. Bernard gets a worried look on his face than takes Angelica out earshot.
“What’s the matter with you?” Bernard asked.
Angelica sighs deeply again than she faints into Bernard’s arms. Bernard’s eyes widen shock. Ivy saw the whole thing and she runs over.
“Wow I don’t think that was supposed to happen.” Ivy answered.
Bernard is starting to get really worried. Angelica opens her eyes and looks up at Bernard.
“Um…Bernard, there’s something you need to know.” Angelica said.
“What is it? Are you alright? Is there anything I can do?” Bernard asked.
“I’m fine sort of and just having you here helps.” Angelica answered.
Bernard sighs
“Will you just tell me?” Bernard asked.
Angelica nods her head than runs up their bedroom and into the bathroom. Angelica throws up three times just as Bernard comes into the room. Bernard snaps fingers than his hair and clothes change back to why they are supposed be. Bernard looks around but he can’t find his hat anywhere. Angelica comes out of the bathroom and sits down next to Bernard.
“Bernard, I’m not sure how to tell you this.” Angelica answered.
“Tell me what?” Bernard asked.
“Well you see every since that night where we made love I haven’t been feeling that great but I just shook it off as the flu but today while you where gone I found out what it really is.” Angelica answered.
“What it is?” Bernard asked.
“Bernard my teddy bear, I’m pregnant.” Angelica answered.
Bernard’s eyes widen and a big smile spreads across his face. Bernard pulls Angelica close to him.
“I admit that I felt bad for leaving you today but hearing that you’re carrying my child has really brightened up my day and I’m also very happy.” Bernard said.
Angelica hugs Bernard. Bernard sighs.
“What’s wrong my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I can’t find my green hat anywhere.” Bernard answered.
“Where did you last have it?” Angelica asked.
“I had it on when I left with my mother. Oh no I think I left at her place.” Bernard answered.
All of a sudden Mother Nature appears holding her son’s hat.
“Are you looking for this son?” Mother Nature asked.
“Yes I am mom.” Bernard answered as he gets to his feet than takes his hat from his mother.
“Should we tell your mother our news?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah we should.” Bernard answered.
“What are the two of you talking about?” Mother Nature asked.
“Angelica is going to have a baby mom.” Bernard answered.
Mother Nature hugs Angelica.
“Congratulations sweetie.” Mother Nature said.
Mother Nature leaves than Bernard and Angelica fall asleep in each other’s embrace. The next day Angelica walks up than runs to the bathroom and throws twice. The hours pass. Angelica is down in the workshop with Bernard, Ivy and Santa.
"So Angelica where's your family?" Bernard asked.
"I don't know and I don't care." Angelica answered.
"Don't you want them here?" Santa asked.
"No I don't." answered.
"Why?" Ivy asked.
"Because I just don't ok. Now leave me alone." Angelica answered and ran off to her room.
Bernard was going to run after her but Santa stopped him.
"Bernard just give her a few minutes to herself for now ok." Santa said.
"Ok. But I'm worried about her." Bernard said.
"I know you are, but she needs to be alone right now." Santa said.
~Meanwhile in Angelica's room that she now shares with Bernard~
"I don't want them knowing that my family doesn't want anything to do with me and that they don't want to see me and I don't want to see them at all." Angelica said through her tears.
~Meanwhile back in Santa's Workshop~
"Hey, Bernard, can I talk to you?" Ivy asked.
"Sure you can." Bernard answered.
Now Ivy and Bernard are out of earshot of everyone.
"I was thinking about bringing Angelica's family here to surprise her because they probably miss her and she probably misses them." Ivy said.
"Why were you thinking that?" Bernard asked.
"You see how upset she got when we mention her family." Ivy answered.
"Are you sure this will work?" Bernard asked.
"I am not sure, but I hope it does." Ivy answered.
A few hours go by and Angelica's family walks into the workshop and they spot Ivy and at that very moment Angelica comes out of her room that she now shares with Bernard. She walks over to where Bernard is and wraps her arms around him but she doesn't notice her family right way. Ivy walks over to Angelica and Bernard.
"Hey, Angelica look whose here." Ivy said.
When Angelica look over and saw her family she ran off and this time Bernard goes after her but when Santa tried to stop him he didn't stop because he wanted to know the truth from Angelica. Bernard knew exactly where to find her.
"What's wrong my angel?" Bernard asked.
When she heard Bernard say that she stood up and hugged him and was crying.
"What's wrong my angel?" Bernard asked again.
"The truth is I didn't want to see my family and I know that my family didn't want to see me." Angelica answered through her tears.
"Why didn't you tell us before?" Bernard asked as he wiped away her tears.
"Because I didn't want to say anything about it because I didn't think that it matter at all." Angelica answered.
"What happened between you and your family?" Bernard asked.
"Well when I was younger my parents were always fighting and so were my brothers and sisters and I was stuck in the middle of it and they blame everything on me even if it was something I didn't do. So one day I got up the courage and moved out and then my parents told me that if I walk out that door I would no longer be apart of the family and that they don't want to see me and then I told them that I don't ever want to see you all again." Angelica answered.
"WOW! I had no idea." Bernard said in shock.
"Yeah I know. So when I saw them today I wasn't happy as you saw." Angelica said.
"So are you happy now?" Bernard asked.
"When I'm with you of course I am. You always brighten up my day." Angelica answered.
At that very moment Bernard kisses Angelica passionately just as Ivy and Angelica's family walked out.
"Who is that she is kissing?" Angelica's mom asked.
"That's her boyfriend Bernard." Ivy answered.
Angelica’s father Greg walks over to them and clears his throat. Bernard and Angelica stop kissing. Bernard sighs than wraps his arms around Angelica.
“What’s your name?” Greg asked looking at Bernard.
“This is my boyfriend Bernard.” Angelica answered.
Angelica sighs deeply than suddenly senses her getting weak. Bernard sighs just as Angelica faints into Bernard’s arms.
“What have you done my daughter?” Greg asked.
“Nothing at all sir she’s just not feeling that greatest right now.” Bernard answered.
Angelica opens her eyes. Greg looks at his daughter than at Bernard.
“I don’t’ want you anywhere near my daughter you got that.” Greg yelled.
“No dad, you can’t do that because I love Bernard with all my heart. I can’t and I won’t live without him. He’s the best thing that has ever happen to me.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles at hearing Angelica say all that. Angelica gasps than runs to the bathroom and throws than returns again. Ivy looks at Bernard.
“How many times is that today?” Ivy asked.
“Three.” Bernard answered.
“Wow I was never like that.” Ivy said.
Bernard sighs.
“I’m really worried about her.” Bernard replied.
Angelica hugs Bernard than looks up into his brown eyes.
“Bernard, I’m okay really it’s morning sickness that’s all.” Angelica said.
“Morning sickness?” Michelle asked in a yell.
“Yeah mom that’s right I’m pregnant.” Angelica answered.
Greg looks at Bernard.
“Are you the father?” Greg asked.
“Yes I am.” Bernard answered.
Angelica shakes her head than walks off to the room that she shares with Bernard. Bernard sighs than looks at Angelica’s family.
“Listen to me, you all need to forgive each other and be there for Angelica at this time.” Bernard said.
“Ha, I don’t think so.” Greg replied.
Bernard shakes his head than goes up to his and Bernard’s bedroom.
“Hi my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica doesn’t say anything. Bernard sits down next to her and pulls her close.
“What’s the matter my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I know that you want everything between my family and I to perfect but that’s never going to happen just leave it alone.” Angelica answered.
Bernard sighs than gets to his feet and leaves the room. A few minutes later Angelica gets a little worried about Bernard and than she goes in search of him. Bernard is nowhere in sight.
“Why does he always do this?” Angelica asked.
Ivy and Crystale walk over to Angelica.
“He’s always been like that since we were little and no matter how hard mom tired she couldn’t change him.” Crystale answered.
“Well I don’t like when he just gets all angry and disappears.” Angelica answered.
“Yeah we’ve noticed that and you don’t need this kind of stress right now.” Ivy said.
Bernard is using his elf magic to be invisible than sudden he become visible again and collapses. Santa shakes his head. Angelica notices Bernard on the floor and she runs over to him.
“Come on Bernard, open your eyes. I love you so much and I really need right now.” Angelica sobs.
Bernard opens his eyes and looks up Angelica.
“Sorry my angel but I really do have to start listening to you when it comes to my magic level.” Bernard said.
Bernard gets to his feet than pulls Angelica into his arms.
Greg, Michele and Angelica’s brothers come over.
“We’re leaving now and we thought about this whole thing. We still don’t want anything to do with you.” Greg yelled.
“That’s fine with me because I don’t want anything to do with you guys either so good-bye forever. I don’t need my family anyway because I have Bernard and he’s the best thing that has ever happened to me.” Angelica screamed.
Angelica’s family leaves the North Pole for good. Angelica looks at Bernard than at Santa.
“I want you both to promise never ever to bring them back up here again.” Angelica said.
Bernard and Santa nod their heads in unison. Angelica walks up to hers and Bernard’s bedroom than falls onto the bed. Bernard comes into the room than lays next to her and pulls her close to him. Angelica smiles than they fall asleep in each other’s embrace.

It’s 2 months later now which means that Angelica is 3 ½ months pregnant. It’s the earlier hours of the morning. Bernard and Angelica are sleeping soundly in each other’s embrace. All of a sudden Angelica jolts awake and runs to the bathroom. Angelica throws up a couple of times. Bernard wakes up and hears her. Bernard walks into the bathroom to find Angelica kneeling in front of the toilet. Bernard kneels down beside her and rubs her back as she throws up one more time. Angelica gets to her feet than walks out of the bedroom again. Bernard follows her.
“It’s going to be okay my angel because no matter I will be by your side the whole time.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles and hugs Bernard. They walk downstairs hand in hand. Santa walks over to Bernard and Angelica.
“There are new elves for you to train Bernard.” Santa replied.
“Okay Santa but I don’t want to leave Angelica alone to long.” Bernard said.
Ivy, Garland, Crystale and Chandler came over.
“Don’t worry about Angelica because we will stay with her and if anything happens than I’ll cover for you.” Garland replied.
Bernard hugs Angelica than goes to where the new elves are.
“Hi everyone. My name is Bernard. I’m the head elf around here so I train the new elves.” Bernard said.
The girl elves all smile.
“Is the training hard?” a girl elf asked.
Bernard smiles.
“It all depends on how good your quality is.” Bernard answered.
“Oh okay.” the girl said.
“What are your names?” Bernard asked.
“My name is Audrey.” A girl elf said.
“I’m Maggie and this is my sister Gracie. We are also Audrey’s oldest sisters too.” A girl elf smiles.
“What about the rest of you?” Bernard asked.
“My name is Charlotte and this is my best friend Britani.” A girl elf sitting next to Maggie answered.
“I’m Sarah.” Another girl elf said.
“My name is Arron and this is my best friend Caleb.” A boy elf replied.
Ivy suddenly appears. Bernard looks at Ivy.
“Please tell that she’s okay.” Bernard said.
“Yeah she’s fine but she misses her teddy bear.” Ivy replied.
“Hi sis.” Audrey, Gracie and Maggie say together.
Ivy smiles than walks over to her sisters and hugs them.

“Yeah they are.” Ivy answered.
Ivy suddenly notices her parents talking to Santa. Ivy smiles than walks over to them.
“Hi mom and dad.” Ivy said as she hugs them.
Garland walks over to Ivy.
“Who is this guy?” Faith asked.
“This is my boyfriend Garland.” Ivy answered.
Garland runs up to his and Ivy’s room than comes back a few minutes later with Niege.
“This is your granddaughter Niege.” Garland said.
Faith looks at Niege than at Ivy.
“Wow, she looks just like you sweetie.” Faith replied.
“Thanks mom.” Ivy said.
Angelica walks over to Ivy’s parents.

“How have you been sweetie?” Faith asked.
“I’ve been just fine.” Angelica answered.

Audrey notices Bernard looking over at Angelica.
“Why are you looking at Angelica that way?” Audrey asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Bernard answered.
Gracie grins.
“Is she your girlfriend?” Gracie asked.
Bernard sighs.
“I don’t have to discuss that with you.” Bernard answered.
Maggie giggles.
“Yeah you do because she’s our sister too.” Maggie said.
“How is that possible?” Bernard asked.
“Our parents adopted her.” Gracie answered.
“I’ll be right back.” Bernard said.
Bernard walks over to where Angelica, Tim, Ivy and Faith are. Bernard clears his throat.
“What is it my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I just was wondering why you never told me that Ivy’s parents adopted you my angel.” Bernard answered.
“Oops I guess it spilled my mind.” Angelica said.
“Who’s this handsome elf?” Faith asked.
“This is my boyfriend Bernard and he is Santa’s head elf.” Angelica answered.
“It’s nice to meet you Bernard I hope that you are taking very good care of Angelica.” Faith said.
“Yes madam I am.” Bernard replied.
Angelica whimpers than runs off to the bathroom. Bernard sighs just as Angelica returns.
“What was that all about sweetie?” Faith asked.
“I’m going to have a baby.” Angelica answered.
Faith hugs Angelica and so does Tim. Tim than looks at Bernard.
“Are you the father of this baby?” Tim asked.
“Yes sir I am and I’m going to be here for her no matter what.” Bernard answered.
“That’s good to know because even though Angelica is only our adopted daughter we are very close to her and we care for her a whole lot.” Tim answered.
Bernard takes Angelica out earshot.
“Why do you call them by their first names?” Bernard asked.
“I don’t now I just do but they want me to call them mom and dad.” Angelica answered.
“Well I think that you should because they care for you and they love a lot more than your own family.” Bernard said.
“I know that my teddy bear I just can’t bring myself to call them that because it would sound too weird.” Angelica replied.
“Please do it for me because if you did that would not only make them happy but it would make me happy too.” Bernard said.
“Alright than my teddy bear I’ll do it because I will do anything for you.” Angelica replied.
“That’s my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica walks back over to the others. Angelica sighs than hugs Tim and Faith.
“I love you mom and dad.” Angelica said.

“You’re very welcome plus it’s only right because you are the only parents that she has now.” Bernard replied.
Angelica smiles than hugs Bernard. Bernard hugs Angelica than goes back to where the new elves are. A few days later it’s time for them to graduate. Bernard is standing in front of them holding their certificates. Angelica is close by than she starts crying. Faith comes over to Angelica and pulls her into a hug.
“Why are you crying sweetie?” Faith asked.
“Seeing those certificates reminds me of the day that everyone gradated elf training except for me but than Ivy stood up for me.” Angelica answered.
“Was Bernard the head elf back than?” Tim asked.
“Yes he was but back than he was really mean and bossy. He has really changed since he started falling in love with me.” Angelica answered.
Ivy comes over to Angelica and hugs her.
“I’ve always wanted to tell you this which is that you’re my favorite sister.” Ivy said.
“Really I am?” Angelica asked.
“Yes really you are.” Ivy answered.
Angelica and Ivy hug just as Bernard comes over.
“What’s going on here?” Bernard asked.

“There’s something that I need to ask but not here.” Bernard answered.
Tim and Bernard go out of earshot.
“What is that you wanted to ask me?” Tim asked.
“Angelica’s biological were up here awhile ago but seeing how they didn’t get along I didn’t feel it would be a good idea to ask them something like this.” Bernard answered.
“What would they be?” Tim asked.

Chapter 15
Bernard’s Romantic Proposal

It’s a few days later and Bernard is sitting on the steps outside Santa’s workshop. Chandler suddenly appears and sits next to Bernard.
“What’s with the long face my friend?” Chandler asked.
“I’m trying to figure the best way to ask Angelica to marry me.” Bernard answered.
“Just turn on that romantic charm of yours.” Chandler said.
“Yeah I was thinking that but it needs be extra special.” Bernard replied.
“Oh I’m sure that you’ll figure out something.” Chandler said.
Bernard walks back inside. A few hours later everyone goes to sleep. Bernard wakes a few hours later than sneaks down to Santa’s Workshop to make an engagement ring for Angelica. The ring that Bernard makes a 10kt gold engagement ring than he engraves the inside to say “Forever Yours”. Bernard puts the ring into a little black box than takes it back upstairs and hides in somewhere Angelica won’t find it which is in his shoulder bag. The next morning Bernard is up before Angelica. Bernard suddenly starts feeling weak so he checks the power level on his watch and it’s down to 20.
“Oh great I can’t use anymore today.” Bernard said.
Angelica hears him than wakes up.
“What are you talking about my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“It’s nothing my angel.” Bernard answered.
They both get up than get dressed and go downstairs. Angelica walks over to Ivy.
“Good morning sis.” Angelica said.
“Same to you.” Ivy replied as she hugs Angelica.
Bernard goes over to Santa.
“Is there a way to get my power level back up by tonight?” Bernard asked.
“Well the only way is not use it all day.” Santa answered.
Bernard smiles than starts walks off.
“Thanks Santa.” Bernard said.
“Why did you want to know that?” Santa asked.
Bernard sighs than walks back over to Santa.
“I needed to know because I need my magic leave on full tonight so that I can plan the most romantic evening ever for Angelica.” Bernard answered.
Santa goes to ask why than he suddenly figures it out on his own.
“Are you going to ask Angelica to marry you?” Santa asked.
“Yes I am so wish me luck.” Bernard answered.
Santa smiles.
“You don’t need luck because I know for sure that she will say yes because she loves very much.” Santa said.
Bernard smiles than goes up to his and Angelica’s room to take a little rest. A few hours later Bernard comes back down. Curtis walks over to Bernard.
“When are you going to step down as head elf?” Curtis asked.
“I will never step down as head elf." Bernard answered.
“You must be getting tired of doing the same things over and over again.” Curtis said.
“No I’m not sick of it because I love my job.” Bernard replied.
Bernard snaps his fingers than CD player starts playing and he starts singing along.
Bernard:
To each his own, my friend
You know how to get me stressed
But when it comes to making
Christmas special...
Curtis:
I'm a cut above the rest
Bernard:
If you could see things clearly
You would say that I've been blessed
Curtis:
You can't hold a candle to my timing!
Bernard:
Ah!
I'm a cut above the rest
Angelica has secret listening in and she comes over to them.
Angelica:
You belong side by side
You should never be apart
'Cause, when you're both together
you're really twice as smart!
Curtis:
"Twice as smart."
She does have a point
Bernard:
Yes, well, two heads
are better than one
Ooh!
Curtis:
They say that, as a team
we have got to be the best
Bernard:
Now we've found something we
both agree on: we're a cut
above the rest
Curtis and Bernard:
There's no doubt that, as a team
We two are the very best!
Everyone who knows us must agree:
we're a cut above the rest!
Angelica, Curtis and Bernard:
There's no doubt that, as a team
you (we) two are the very best!
Everyone who knows you (us) must
agree...
Curtis and Bernard:
We're a cut...
Angelica:
A cut above...
Curtis and Bernard:
Above the rest!
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Did you two learn something from that song?” Angelica asked.
“That we are both equal and it’s really silly to fight over every little thing.” Bernard answered.
Angelica looks at Curtis.
“What about you?” Angelica asked.
“It made me understand that no matter how much I want to be head elf around here that it’s not going to happen and that Bernard is a really cool elf all around.” Curtis answered.
“Are you two going to be friends from now on?” Angelica asked.
“Yes we are and no more fighting.” Bernard and Curtis said together.
“That’s good to hear guys.” Angelica replied.
Angelica walks up to hers and Bernard’s bedroom. Bernard follows Angelica up to their room. Angelica lays on the bed looks up at the ceiling than lets out a long sigh. Bernard walks into the room than sits next to Angelica on the bed.
“What’s the matter my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Oh nothing really my teddy bear.” Angelica answered.
“Are you sure?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I’m sure.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles a little than lies down beside Angelica. A few minutes later Angelica has fallen asleep. Bernard checks his magic level than gets to his feet. Bernard writes a note for Angelica. It reads “Dear Angelica, when you wake just stay up here until I come get you and please don’t come looking for me, Love Always Your Bernard. Bernard sneaks down to the kitchen and gets a picnic basket full of Angelica’s favorite foods than takes it outside to a nice fluffy snowy patch in the middle of Santa’s Village. Bernard than goes back inside and gets a few more things ready. Angelica wakes up and notices the note than she reads it.
A few minutes later Bernard comes into the room. Angelica looks at him and smiles. Bernard helps Angelica to her feet than they go outside where all the stuff is set up. Angelica looks at the picnic basket than at Bernard.
“What’s all this for?” Angelica asked.
“You’ll see later my angel.” Bernard answered.
Bernard takes a bouquet of yellow daffodils out from behind his back and gives them to Angelica.
“Wow Bernard, they’re beautiful.” Angelica said.
“Yeah I know just like you.” Bernard replied.
They eat the food in the picnic basket. Angelica sighs deeply. Bernard rubs Angelica’s back a little.
“Now what?” Angelica asked.
“Close your eyes.” Bernard answered.
“Why?” Angelica asked.
“You’ll see.” Bernard answered.
Angelica closes her eyes. Bernard takes his hand and writes “Marry Me” in the snow in front of Angelica than he takes the ring out his shoulder bag.
“Can I open them?” Angelica asked.
“Yes you can open your eyes and when you do look down in front of your feet.” Bernard answered.
Angelica opens her eyes than looks down in front of her feet and reads what Bernard wrote in the snow. Angelica gasps than goes to stay something but nothing comes out. Angelica walks around it than gives Bernard a great big hug.
“Yes.” Angelica finally said.
Bernard smiles than spills the engagement ring onto Angelica’s ring finger. Angelica looks down at gasps again.
“Oh Bernard, it’s so gorgeous just like you.” Angelica said.
“Thanks my angel and I put a lot of thought into making it so it would just perfect.” Bernard replied.
“What was wrong with you early today?” Angelica asked.
“I was weak from making that engagement for you.” Bernard answered.
Angelica hugs Bernard. Bernard smiles than kisses Angelica very passionately.
“Please promise that you will cut back on making the jewelry for awhile because I don’t want anything happening to you.” Angelica said.
“I promise my angel but when Christmas time again comes around again I will have do it all over again.” Bernard replied.
“Couldn’t you get someone to come up with away to take the pressure of you to make all the jewelry?” Angelica asked.
“I could talk to Curtis about making a machine that will make the jewelry for me so I don’t have to it all the time.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles a little. They walk inside hand in hand. Curtis is working on fixing on one his inventions. Bernard walks over to Curtis.
“Would be able to help with something?” Bernard asked.
“It depends on what it is.” Curtis answered.
“Angelica wants me find away to take the pressure of making jewelry so that I don’t get weak all the time.” Bernard said.
“Are you suggestion some kind of invention to help you out?” Curtis asked.
“Yeah I am.” Bernard answered.
“I’ll see what I can come up with.” Curtis said.
“Thanks a lot Curtis I really appreciate it because Angelica gets really upset when my elf magic level gets low and that kind of stress isn’t good for her right now.” Bernard replied.
“Why is that?” Curtis asked.
“She’s going to have a baby 5 ½ months.” Bernard answered.
“Really she is?” Curtis asked.
“Yes really.” Bernard answered.
“Wow that’s great and congratulations.” Curtis said.
Angelica walks over to where Bernard and Curtis are. Angelica rests her head on Bernard’s shoulder than wraps her arms around his waist. Bernard just smiles. Curtis looks down at Angelica’s hand and notices the ring than he gasps.
“Is that an engagement ring?” Curtis asked.
“Yes it is.” Angelica answered.
“When did this happen?” Curtis asked.
“It happen a few minutes ago while Bernard and I were outside.” Angelica answered.
“Well congratulations the both of you.” Curtis said.
“Thanks Curtis.” Angelica replied.
Bernard and Angelica walk up to their room. Bernard pulls Angelica close as soon as they make it in the door and starts kissing her passionately.

“Will you tell me now?” Angelica asked.
Gracie sighs.
“I’ve been feeling really weird around a certain elf my age lately.” Gracie answered.
“Do you mean a guy elf?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah that’s what I mean.” Gracie answered.
“What’s his name?” Angelica asked.
“His name is Arron.” Gracie answered.

“What do you want?” Caleb asked.
“I want to talk to Arron for a few minutes and don’t be so rude Caleb.” Angelica answered.
“Yeah whatever.” Caleb said.
Curtis walks over to Caleb and glares at him.
“What have I told you about being rude like that?” Curtis asked.
“That it’s not nice and if I don’t stop nobody will like me.” Caleb answered.
“Why don’t ever listen to me?” Curtis asked.
“You’re not our father that’s why.” Caleb answered.
“Are you two brothers?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah we are.” Curtis answered.
“Wow I didn’t know that.” Angelica said.
Angelica takes Arron out of earshot.
“What do you think of my little sister Gracie?” Angelica asked.
“She’s okay.” Arron answered.
“Just okay?” Angelica asked.
“She’s pretty and very nice.” Arron answered.
“Would you consider being her girlfriend?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah I’ve thought about that.” Arron answered.
Angelica smiles than starts to walk away and than turns to Curtis.
“Have you seen Bernard today?” Angelica asked.
“No I haven’t seen him.” Curtis answered.
“Where could he be than?” Angelica asked.

“Where have you been all day?” Angelica asked.
“I was busy with things.” Bernard answered.
“What sort of things?” Angelica asked.
“I wish that I could tell you my angel but I can’t just yet.” Bernard answered.
“Oh alright that’s okay.” Angelica said.
Bernard looks into Angelica’s blue eyes.
“Did you look on the inside the brim of your engagement ring?” Bernard asked.
“No I haven’t.” Angelica answered.
“Well maybe you should.” Bernard said.
Angelica takes off the engagement ring than looks on the inside brim and reads what Bernard engraved into it. Angelica’s eyes widen than hugs Bernard really tight. Bernard just smiles.
“I mean it too my angel.” Bernard replied.
“When should we get married?” Angelica asked.
“I was thinking on June 19th.” Bernard answered.
“That’s our anniversary.” Angelica yelled.
“Yeah I know that and it’s the perfect day to get married.” Bernard said.
Angelica suddenly realizes something.
“That’s only three weeks away.” Angelica replied.
“Yeah I know that but we can pull it off with help of everyone here at the North Pole.” Bernard said.
The weeks go back and now it’s three days before Angelica’s wedding to Bernard. Angelica walks over to where Ivy is kissing Garland. Angelica clears her throat which causes Ivy and Garland to break their kiss. Ivy looks at Angelica.
“What would you like sis?” Ivy asked.
“I wanted to know if you’d be my maid of honor when I marry Bernard in three days.” Angelica answered.
Ivy gaps than goes to say something but she can’t because she’s speechless. A few minutes pass.
“I’m so honored that you’d asked me that.” Ivy said.
Tim and Faith come over. Angelica looks at Tim.
“Would you give me away at my wedding Bernard?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah of course I will.” Tim answered.
Angelica hugs Tim and Ivy. Angelica sighs.
“I’m still stuck on who could be the ring barrier.” Angelica said.
“How about Santa and Carol’s son Buddy?” Ivy asked.
“That’s a good idea and I’ll go ask them about it right now.” Angelica answered.
Angelica walks to Santa and Carol’s room than knocks on the door. Carol opens the door.
“How may I help you Angelica?” Carol asked.
“I was wondering if Buddy could be the ring barrier at my wedding to Bernard in three days.” Angelica answered.
“Sure of course he can.” Carol said.
Angelica smiles than leaves and go to hers and Bernard’s room. Angelica sits on the bed. Bernard is down in the workshop and he walks over Chandler.
“What can I help you with my friend?” Chandler asked.
“I wanted to ask you something." Bernard answered.
“Okay than ask away.” Chandler said.
“Would be my best man at my wedding to Angelica in three days?” Bernard asked.
Chandler smiles.
“Yeah sure of course and I’m honor that you asked me.” Chandler answered.
Bernard smiles too than leaves. Angelica is talking to Ivy. Bernard walks up behind her and pulls her close. Angelica just smiles.
“Do you have any ideas who could be the flower girl at our wedding my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“I was thinking Lucy.” Bernard answered.
“How are we going to ask her?” Angelica asked.
“I could get Santa to turn into Scott than go down her place and ask her.” Bernard answered.
Angelica nods her head than Bernard walks to where Santa. Santa looks at Bernard.
“What can I help you with Bernard?” Santa asked.
“I was wondering if you could transform into Scott than go to see Laura and asked if Lucy can be the flower girl at my wedding to Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“Yeah sure of course I can.” Santa said.
Santa turns into Scott than goes to Laura and Neil’s house. Scott knocks on the door. Neil opens the door.
“What are you doing here?” Neil asked.
“I need to speak to Laura about something.” Scott answered.
“Okay come on in.” Neil said.
Scott follows Neil inside. Laura is sitting on the couch.
“Why are you here Scott?” Laura asked.
“I wanted to know if Lucy could be the flower girl at Bernard’s wedding.” Scott answered.
“Bernard, he’s the one that was trying to figure out if my sweater was made by elves right.” Neil said.
“Yeah that’s him.” Scott said.
“Who is he marrying?” Laura asked.
“He is marrying the head toy maker elf Angelica in three days.” Scott answered.
Lucy walks into the room.
“Uncle Scott.” Lucy yelled as she runs over and hugs him.
“Hi Lucy.” Scott said.
Charlie walks into the room too.
“What you doing here Uncle Scott?” Lucy asked.
“I need to ask you something.” Scott answered.
“Me?” Lucy asked.
“Yeas you.” Scott answered.
“Okay ask I’m listening.” Lucy said.
“Would you be the flower girl in my head elf’s wedding in three days?” Scott asked.
“Yeah sure I’d love to.” Lucy answered.
Scott looks at Neil and Laura.
“Can I take her back with me for until after the wedding?” Scott asked.
“Of course Scott but take good care of her.” Laura answered.
Scott and Lucy go back to the North Pole. Scott turns back into Santa. Lucy looks around.
“Wow it’s been so long since I was here.” Lucy said.
Carol walks over to them and hugs Lucy.
“It’s so great to see you Lucy.” Carol replied.
Lucy smiles just as Curtis walks over.
“Hello Lucy.” Curtis said.
Lucy smiles. Bernard walks over to Lucy.
“Hi Lucy it’s nice to see you again.” Bernard said.
Lucy smiles again.
Angelica walks over to them and rests her head on Bernard’s shoulder.
Lucy looks at Angelica.
“Are you the elf that’s marrying Bernard in three days?” Lucy asked.
“Yes I am.” Angelica answered.
“What’s your name?” Lucy asked.
“Her name is Angelica.” Bernard answered.
“That’s such a beautiful name.” Lucy said.
Angelica smiles.
“Thanks Lucy.” Angelica said.
Angelica sighs the runs up to the bathroom. Ivy walks over to where everyone is and looks at Lucy.
“Who is this?” Ivy asked.
“This is my ex-wife and her new husband’s little girl Lucy.” Santa answered.
“Hi Lucy my name is Ivy.” Ivy said.
Angelica comes back than cuddles up to Bernard a little.
“How are you now?” Bernard asked.
“I’m okay my teddy bear.” Angelica answered.
“Where did you go?” Lucy asked.
“I went to the bathroom because I’m not feeling that greatest right now.” Angelica answered.
Why aren’t you feeling the greatest?” Lucy asked.
“I’m going to have a baby in 5 months.” Angelica answered.
Lucy smiles once again.
“Do you know what it is yet?” Lucy asked.
“No I don’t but I would love to know.” Angelica answered.
Shaun over hears than comes over.
“Could come with me?” Shaun asked.
“Yeah sure.” Angelica answered.
Angelica follows Shaun to the elf hospital. Shaun does an ultrasound on Angelica to see they can find out what baby is going to be.
“Well it just so happens that baby is the perfect position to find out what it is.” Shaun said.
“What is it than?” Angelica asked.
“It’s a girl.” Shaun answered.
“Thanks Shaun.” Angelica said as she walks to where to Bernard and the others are.
“Did you find out with it is my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I did and it’s a girl.” Angelica answered.
“Oh wow that’s amazing.” Bernard said.
“Do you have any names in mind for her?” Ivy asked.
“Yeah as matter fact I do have one.” Angelica answered.
“What is it my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I want to name her Noél.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than pulls Angelica close to him.
“That’s a perfect name for our little girl.” Bernard said.
“Do you know it means?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah of course I do.” Bernard answered.
“Tell me than?” Angelica asked.
“It’s how you say Christmas in French.” Bernard answered.
Angelica smiles than Ivy takes her out of earshot.
“Have you got your wedding dress yet?” Ivy asked.
“No I haven’t.” Angelica answered.
Ivy takes Angelica’s hand and they go to see Bethannie the official elf sewer. Bethannie looks up from she’s doing.
“What can I help you with?” Bethannie asked.
“Angelica needs you to make her wedding dress.” Ivy answered.
“When are you getting married?” Bethannie asked.
“I’m getting married in three days.” Angelica answered.
“Who are you marrying?” Bethannie asked.
Angelica smiles.
“Santa’s head elf.” Angelica answered.
“You’re marrying Bernard?” Bethannie asked.
Angelica nods her head.
“Yes I am.” Angelica answered.
“Wow you’re so lucky.” Bethannie said.
“Thanks Bethannie.” Angelica replied.
Angelica and Ivy leave so that Bethannie can do her job. Audrey comes over to Ivy and hugs her. The next three days go by quickly. It’s now the day of Angelica and Bernard’s wedding. Carol is getting Buddy ready when Santa walks in and looks at his son.
“Well doesn’t he look handsome?” Santa asked.
“Yeah that’s what I was thinking too dear.” Carol answered.
Lucy comes into the room.
“Can you help me with the zipper on my dress please?” Lucy asked looking at Carol.
“Of course sweetie.” Carol answered.
Carol finishes getting Buddy ready than helps Lucy with the zipper on her dress.
“Where did you get the beautiful dress?” Santa asked.
“My mother gave it to me it was the dress she wore to her prom.” Lucy answered.
The hours pass. There’s now only 4 more hours until the wedding. Mother Nature shows up dress normally. Santa looks at Mother Nature.
“Why are you here?” Santa asked.
“I’m here to marry my son and Angelica.” Mother Nature answered.
Lucy looks at Mother Nature.
“Who are you?” Lucy asked.
“I’m Mother Nature but please call me Aurora.” Mother Nature answered.
A few hours go by and the wedding is starting. Lucy comes down the isle throwing flowers left and right. Bernard is already at the front waiting for Angelica. Now Angelica is walking down the aisle holding the arm of Tim. Bernard can’t believe his eyes.
“She looks absolutely beautiful.” Bernard thinks to himself.
As Angelica is walking down the aisle she looks at Bernard and she can’t believe her eyes.
“He looks Absolutely Gorgeous.” Angelica thinks to herself.
Now Angelica is standing right beside Bernard. Mother Nature is standing in front of them.
“Bernard do you take Angelica to be you lawfully wedded wife to have and to hold through sickness and in health as long as the both shall be Santa’s Elves.” Mother Nature said.
“I….I…I… do.” Bernard said in shutter.
“Angelica do you take Bernard to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold through sickness and in health as long as the both shall be Santa’s.” Mother Nature said.
“I do.”Angelica said.
“Now it’s time for the exchanging of the rings.” Mother Nature said.
Carol carries Buddy up the front. Buddy is holding the rings and Mother takes them from him.
“Now Bernard put this ring on Angelica’s finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed.” Mother Nature said as she handed Bernard the ring.
“With this ring I thee wed.” Bernard said as he put the ring on Angelica’s finger.
“Now Angelica put this ring on Bernard’s finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed.” Mother Nature said as she handed Angelica the ring.
“With this ring I thee wed.” Angelica said as she put the ring on Bernard’s finger.
“By the power infested in me now as Mother Nature I know pronounced you husband and wife.” Mother Nature said.
“You may now kiss your beautiful bride, Bernard.” Mother Nature said.
So Bernard pulled Angelica close and kissed her passionately. A few minutes later they broke the kiss. An hour went by and now it is time for the first dance between the bride and groom. So Bernard and Angelica are dancing their first dance as husband and wife. After their first dance was over Angelica decides to sing a few songs to her new husband
”I would like to sing a few songs to my new husband.” Angelica said.
“What are they my angel?” Bernard asked.
“They are Two In Million, Natural and If It’s Love.” Angelica answered.
Angelica snaps her fingers the CD Player starts playing Two In A Million.
Out of all the elves, you're not like the others
From the very first day, I knew we'd be lovers
In my wildest dreams, my darkest desire
Would I declare to you, your love takes me higher
Just when we both thought our lives were set in stone
They shone a light, and brought us together
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
It's a crazy world, where everythin's changin'
One minute your up, and the next thing you're breakin'
When I lose my way, and the skies they get heavy
It'll be ok, the moment you're with me
No-one would have guessed we'd be standing strong today
Solid as a rock, and perfect in every way
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
Forever as one
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as one
We are two in a million
We've got all the luck we could be given
If the world should stop, we'll still have each other
And no matter what, we'll be forever as
No matter what, we'll be forever as
No matter what, we'll be forever as one
Angelica snaps her fingers and the CD player starts playing Natural.

Angelica turns off the CD player. Bernard walks over to Angelica and pulls her close to him.
“I’m going to sing a couple of songs to you now my angel.” Bernard said.
“What songs are you going to sing my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“The songs that I’m going to sing are Spiritual Love, You and Sunshine.” Bernard answered.
Bernard turns on the CD player with his elf magic and the song Spiritual Love starts to play.
Now let me start this, if home is where the heart is
With her I feel at home even when we're apart it's
Strange but I can feel her presence beside me
So in a sense one could say that she guides me
Now I'm remembering the first time I saw her
Feeling this vibe, or whatever, let's say aura
But I never would have thought, see I never could have known
Outta one chance glance all this could have grown
And that's the beauty of it you see it grows and it's natural
What can I say in every way we're compatible
Talk is cheap at times we don't speak
Cos we're engrossed in thoughts that are deep
It's like two hearts, two minds, two bodies, two souls
Making one whole, now it's gotta be told
That what we have is more than just physical
Don't be so cynical, we got a spiritual love
Feels so natural
More than physical
Spiritual love
Feels so natural
More than physical
Spiritual love
We got a love I can trust let me tell you 'bout us
Underline the word love and see it ain't about lust
It's spiritual love oh, what a feeling
Impossible to measure it, one can only treasure it
Sort of like a legacy, maybe it's my destiny
Maybe it's a test of me, to bring out the best in me
Who knows, who cares, all I know is that there's
A reason for everything and whatever fate may bring
See I didn't plan this some don't understand this
They try to play the role of thinking that's what a man is
To me she's more than just a fashion accessory
And I'll protect her by any means necessary
Two hearts, two minds, two bodies, two souls
Making one whole, now it's gotta be told
That what we have is more than just physical
Don't be so cynical, we got a spiritual love
Feels so natural
More than physical
Spiritual love
Feels so natural
More than physical
Spiritual love
Bernard uses his elf magic to change the CD player song again and You starts playing.
You are all I need to get me through (get me through now baby)

Sweet anticipation

Bernard uses his elf magic one more time to change CD player song and it starts playing Sunshine.
Sometimes it's hard
When rain's pouring on
I used to worry
What tomorrow would bring
Then you came along
Changed my world around
Gave me something to believe in
When I'm upside down
And let me say I owe it all to you
And I wanna thank you
For making the sun come
Shining through

Everything can only get better (get better and better)
Now that you're around me
Swear I'm gonna love you forever (forever and ever)
Now that we're together
Everything can only get better

If you should find
You need someone too
Just turn head in my direction
And I'll do the same to you
And let me say from the bottom of my heart
I wanna thank you (I wanna thank you)
For making the sun come shining through

Everything can only get better (get better and better)
Now that you're around me
Swear I'm gonna love you forever (forever and ever)

Angelica smiles than hugs Bernard.
“Those were great songs my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
“I’ve always wanted to sing those songs to you because they really suit us just like the ones that you sang to me.” Bernard replied.
Angelica hugs Bernard again and he hugs her back.
“Wow I can’t believe that we’re married now.” Angelica said.
“Me neither but we are.” Bernard replied.
Audrey comes over and hugs Bernard.
“I’m glad that you married Angelica because now I have a brother.” Audrey said.
Bernard smiles and gives Audrey a hug. Crystale walks over and hugs Angelica. A few minutes later Crystale stops hugging Angelica. Angelica looks at Crystale.
“Why did you do that?” Angelica asked.
“I did it because I’m so glad to have a sister.” Crystale answered.
Angelica smiles than pulls Bernard and kisses him passionately.

Chapter 17
It’s Too Soon

Angelica, Garland, Ivy and Chandler are hangout together. Angelica is 7 ½ months pregnant and she’s not feeling the greatest. Bernard is with Santa in his room talking. Angelica whimpers. Ivy looks at Angelica.
“Are you alright sis?” Ivy asked.
“No I’m not.” Angelica answered.
“What’s wrong?” Ivy asked.
“I’m not sure.” Angelica answered.
Angelica whimpers than gets look of fear in her eyes. Garland and Chandler exchange looks just as Crystale comes over.
“What’s wrong with you two?” Crystale asked.
“We aren’t sure what’s wrong with Angelica.” Chandler answered.
Crystale looks down at the floor and notices the puddle under her sister-in-law’s feet.
“Oh no, I’m going to get my brother.” Crystale said.
“Why sweetie?” Chandler asked.
“That’s why honey.” Crystale answered as she points to the puddle under Angelica’s feet.
Ivy and Garland suddenly notice that puddle too.
“Wow she’s in labor but she’s only 7 ½ months.” Ivy said.
Crystale runs to where Santa and Bernard as fast she can. Crystale is all out of breath when she gets there.
“Where’s the fire Crystale?” Santa asked.
Crystale looks at her brother.
“There’s no fire Santa but my brother needs to come with me right now.” Crystale answered.
“Why sis?” Bernard asked.
“Your wife’s in labor that’s why.” Crystale answered.
Bernard’s eyes widen in shock than he takes off to where Angelica is whimpering a lot now. Bernard picks up Angelica in his arms and takes her as fast as he can to Shaun.
“You wait to here Bernard until I come get you.” Shaun replied.
“Ok I’ll wait.” Bernard said.
Shaun takes Angelica to the delivery room. An hour later Shaun comes out where Bernard is waiting.
“Can you come with me please?” Shaun asked.
“Yeah sure.” Bernard answered.
Shaun starts walking off than Bernard gets to his feet and follows. They walk into a room where Angelica is holding onto their baby. The baby is wrapped in a pink fluffy blanket. Bernard walks over to Angelica and looks down at the baby in her arms.
“She’s beautiful just like her mother.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles. Bernard sits on the edge of the bed.
“I’m sticking to what I wanted to name her from the start.” Angelica replied.
“Do you mean Noél?” Bernard asked.
“Yes that’s her name my teddy bear.” Angelica answered.
Noél starts cooing than she starts crying. Angelica rocks Noél a little and she stops crying. Ivy, Chandler and Crystale come into the delivery room. Crystale walks over and looks at the baby in her sister-in-law’s arms.
“Aw she’s so beautiful.” Crystale said.
Ivy comes over to them too and looks at Noél.
“That she is.” Ivy replied.
Angelica looks up at her sister than smiles.
“What?” Ivy asked.
“I would like you to be Noél’s godmother.” Angelica answered.
“Really you would?” Ivy asked.
“Yes really I would.” Angelica answered.
“Well in that case I’m very honored.” Ivy said.
The days pass. Angelica is lying on hers and Bernard’s bed with Noél beside her. Noél is sleeping soundly and so is Angelica. Bernard walks into the room to find his two girls sleeping like angels. Bernard walks over to the bed than lies down on the other side of Angelica. Bernard kisses the top of Angelica’s head than wraps his arms around her. A little while later Angelica wakes up and smiles when she notices Bernard’s arms around her. Noél suddenly opens her eyes and starts crying. Noél’s crying wakes up Bernard. Angelica gets to her feet than takes Noél over to the rocking chair by the wall and starts rocking back ‘n’ forth. Noél’s cries suddenly become calm and she falls asleep again. There’s a knock at the door so Bernard goes over and opens to find Ivy standing on the other side holding Niege in her arms.
“What can I help you with?” Bernard asked.
“I came to visit my niece and I bought Niege with so she can meet her cousin.” Ivy answered.
Angelica smiles as Ivy walks into the room. Noél opens her eyes again and suddenly notices Niege. They look at each other and both giggle.
“I think they are going to be great friends as they grow up.” Bernard said.
Angelica nods her head in agreement. It’s few hours later now Noél is sleeping her crib that Bernard set up in his and Angelica’s room. Angelica is downstairs helping the elves make toys. Bernard is there to and he watching Angelica’s every move.
Angelica: There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean
And he was course
And unrefined
And now he's dear
And so unsure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before
Bernard: She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched
She didn't shudder at my hand
No it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she’s never looked at me that way before
Angelica: New and a bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be
True that he's no prince charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see
Santa: Well who'd have thought
Carol: Well bless my soul
Curtis: Well who'd have known
Carol: Well who indeed
Santa: And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own
Carol: Its so peculiar
Carol, Curtis, Santa: We'll wait and see a few days more
There may be something there that wasn’t there before
Curtis: Well perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before
Buddy (spoken): What!?!
Carol: There may be something there that wasn't there before
Buddy (spoken): What's there mama?
Carol (spoken): Shh I'll tell you when you’re older.
Buddy gets confused.
“I want to know now.” Buddy wines.
“Well you’re just not old enough Buddy.” Carol said.
Buddy looks at Santa.
“Dad.” Buddy replied.
“I’m sorry but I have to agree with your mother on this one.” Santa said.
Bernard walks up behind Angelica and wraps his arms around her. Angelica just smiles and turns to face him. Bernard brushes a couple of Angelica’s braids away from her face and kisses her forehead. All of a sudden Angelica gasps than runs up to hers and Bernard’s bedroom. Bernard runs after Angelica to find her sitting on the bed with Noél in her arms.
“Why did you leave to come up here in such a hurry my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Something inside me told me that our baby needed her mother.” Angelica answered.
Bernard sits down next to Angelica and Noél. Bernard leans over and kisses Noél on the forehead than kisses Angelica very passionately.

Chapter 18
Noél’s First Two Years

The months pass and now Noél is 8 months old now. Angelica is up hers and Bernard’s room sitting on the window seat looking out at Santa’s Village. Noél is sleeping soundly. Angelica looks over at Noél. Noél opens her eyes than looks over at her mother and coos. Angelica gets to her feet than goes over to crib and looks down at her daughter. Angelica smiles than picks up Noél in her arms. Angelica suddenly notices that Noél’s eyes have changed color to the same brown as her father’s eyes. Bernard walks into the room and Angelica looks at him.
“What my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Oh nothing my teddy bear except that Noél’s eyes have changed color.” Angelica answered.
Bernard looks at Noél’s eyes and when he sees that they are same color as his all he can do is smile. Angelica snuggles up to Bernard a little. Noél looks at her father than at her mother.
“Mama.” Noél said.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“Did you hear what she just said?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah I did so big deal.” Bernard answered as he leaves the room.
Angelica gets a confused look on her face than puts Noél back into her crib and looks at her.
“You stay here until mommy gets back.” Angelica said.
Noél nods her head. Angelica runs after Bernard.
“BERNARD.” Angelica roared.
Bernard starts walking faster. Angelica starts to run after Bernard. All of a sudden Angelica trips over her feet from running to fast. Angelica falls to the ground holding her knee. Bernard doesn’t know that Angelica fell. Angelica starts crying and Bernard hears her than stops in his tracks. Bernard turns around and notices her on the floor holding her knee. Bernard gasps than runs where she is and kneels beside her.
“What happened my angel?” Bernard asked.
“I was trying to catch up to you than I trip and hurt my knee.” Angelica answered between her tears.
Bernard wipes Angelica’s tears away. Bernard suddenly notices that Angelica’s knee is bleeding. Bernard puts his hand on Angelica’s knee than closes his eyes and when he opens them again her cut is gone. Bernard helps Angelica to her feet and she glares at him.
“Why didn’t you tell me that one of your elf magic powers was to heal?” Angelica asked.
“I didn’t tell you because I’ve needed to use until now.” Bernard answered.
“Well I think it’s pretty cool that you can heal.” Angelica said as she kisses Bernard.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“What?” Bernard asked.
“I want to know why you left our room like that.” Angelica answered.
“Are you absolutely sure you want to know the reason?” Bernard asked.
“Yes I’m sure.” Angelica answered.
“Do you promise that you won’t get mad at me?” Bernard asked.
“I could never get mad at the love of my life.” Angelica answered.
“The reason that I left like that is because I can’t stand it when Noél plays favorites with you.” Bernard answered.
“You’re jealous of your own daughter?” Angelica asked.
Bernard nod his head.
“Yes I am my angel because she favors you over me and gets me really upset.” Bernard answered.
Angelica hugs Bernard.
“Bernard my teddy bear just because she plays favors me doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love you it’s just that she is a mama’s girl at heart. You can’t change who she is even if you tried.” Angelica said.
Bernard shakes his head than walks back his and Angelica’s bedroom. Bernard lies on the bed and looks up at the ceiling just Angelica comes in. Angelica lies on the bed too and rests her head on Bernard’s shoulder. Bernard just smiles than pulls Angelica close to him. Noél looks over at her parents and just smiles. A few more months pass and Noél is 11 months now. Noél is sitting on the floor of her parent’s bedroom. Angelica is visiting with Ivy, Garland and Niege. Bernard is sitting on the bed watching her. All of a sudden Noél uses the bed to help her up than she stats to walk the length of it and when she gets to end she lets go than starts to walk across the room. Bernard gasps than Noél notices that she’s walking and sits down just as Angelica comes into the room. Bernard is still in shock mode. Angelica noticed the shock on her husband’s face.
“What’s the matter my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
“She, she, she walked.” Bernard answered.
“Who walked?” Angelica asked.
“Our daughter.” Bernard answered.
Angelica looks at Noél than at Bernard.
“Are you sure?” Angelica asked.
“Yes I am sure my angel because I right here watching her.” Bernard answered.
Noél gets an urge to see her mother so she gets to her feet and starts walking to Angelica. Angelica’s eyes widen in shock.
“You were right she is walking.” Angelica said.
“I told you that she was my angel.” Bernard replied.
Noél reaches her mother than looks up at her.
“Wanna up mama.” Noél said.
Angelica picks up Noél in her arms and swings her around in the air.
“I’m so proud of you sweetie.” Angelica said.
Noél hugs her mother really tight.
“I love you mama and you too dada.” Noél said.
Bernard smiles than gets to his feet than he walks over to his two girls and hugs them. Bernard smiles again than kisses Angelica passionately.

Noél is almost 2 years old now. Bernard goes to Garland and Ivy’s room than knocks on the door. Garland opens the door.
“What would you like?” Garland asked.
“I was wondering if Noél could stay here tonight.” Bernard answered.
“Why Bernard?” Garland asked.
“I want some alone time with my wife and we can’t have it with Noél around because she wakes a lot during the night.” Bernard answered.
“Yeah sure Noél can stay here tonight.” Garland said.
“Thanks so much Garland.” Bernard replied.
Bernard walks to his and Angelica’s bedroom. Angelica is sitting on the bed with knees curled up to her chin.
“Hi, my angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica doesn’t say anything to Bernard. Bernard gets a confused look on his face than sits down next to Angelica and looks at her. Angelica looks at Bernard and smiles a little. Bernard closes his eyes and concentrates on Angelica than suddenly he knows what’s wrong with her. Bernard gets a worried look than kisses Angelica with extreme passion. A few minutes later Bernard breaks. Angelica glares at Bernard.
“What made you kiss me like that?” Angelica asked.
“Your voice is back.” Bernard answered as tears starting falling from his eyes.
Angelica wipes Bernard’s tears.
“It looks that way doesn’t it my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard nods his head. Bernard hugs Angelica really tight.
“I was so scared that I’d never hear your beautiful voice again.” Bernard replied.
Bernard gets to his feet than walks over to Noél’s crib and picks her up.
“Hi daddy.” Noél said.
Bernard smiles.
“How would you like to visit your best friend Niege tonight?” Bernard asked.
“I would love to daddy.” Noél answered.
Bernard carries Noél down the hall. Bernard knocks on Garland and Ivy’s door again. Ivy opens the door this time.
“Hi Bernard and Noél.” Ivy said.
Garland walks over to Bernard.
“Could I talk to you alone?” Garland asked.
“Yeah sure.” Bernard answered.
Bernard sets Noél down on the floor. Noél runs over to Niege and gives her a hug. Bernard and Garland go out into the hallway. Garland sighs.
“I need you to do me a favor.” Garland said.
“What kind of favor?” Bernard asked.
“I need you to make an engagement ring.” Garland answered.
“Why?” Bernard asked.
“That’s simple I want to ask Ivy to marry me.” Garland answered.
“Oh wow, I will make you one tomorrow because if you remember tonight I want to be with Angelica.” Bernard said.
“That’s okay there’s no rush so you go be with your wife.” Garland replied.
Bernard smiles.
“Thanks for understanding Garland.” Bernard said.
“You’re welcome and don’t do anything that I would do.” Garland replied.
Bernard shakes his head than goes back to his and Angelica’s bedroom. Angelica isn’t there and Bernard starts to get a little worried. Angelica suddenly comes back and wraps her arms around Bernard.
“Where did you go?” Bernard asked.
“I got thirsty.” Angelica answered.
Bernard closes the door with his elf magic than pulls Angelica and starts to kiss her passionately. Angelica pulls away. Bernard gets a confused look.
“What gives? Why did you do that?” Bernard asked.
“I know where this is going and I don’t know if I want to go through that again.” Angelica answered.
“Come on my angel you know that no matter what I’ll be here for you.” Bernard said.
“Bernard I just can’t.” Angelica replied.
Bernard sighs than switches the CD player on with is elf magic to disc 5 song 8.

“Good morning my sleeping angel.” Bernard said.
Angelica smiles than kisses. They get dress for the day than go down the great hall for breakfast. All the elves are drinking milk and Bernard sighs.
“Could I have glass of water?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah sure. “ Santa answered.
Hanna gets Bernard a glass of water.
“How come you never drink milk?” Angelica asked.
“I don’t like the taste of it.” Bernard answered.
Bernard gets to his feet and leaves the table. Chandler gets up and follows him. Bernard gets the feeling that someone is following him and he turns around to see Chandler.
“What Chandler?” Bernard asked.
“I want to you tell me the real reason why you never drink milk.” Chandler answered.
Bernard sighs deeply.
“I’m lactose intolerant.” Bernard said.
“You’re what?” Chandler asked.
Bernard sighs again.
“I know that you heard and understand no circumstances are you to tell Angelica.” Bernard answered.
Curtis is secretly listening in. Curtis grins evilly.
“Oh I could really use this to my advantage.” Curtis thinks to himself.
Angelica walks over to Bernard and Chandler than wraps her arms around Bernard. Angelica gasps than runs up to the bathroom again. Bernard runs after Angelica than finds her throwing up.
“Are you alright my angel?” Bernard asked.
“No I’m not.” Angelica answered.
Bernard gets a worried look.
“That’s it I’m taking you to see Shaun.” Bernard said.
Bernard helps Angelica to her feet than picks her up his arms and carries her to Shaun’s office. Shaun looks up when they come in.
“Why are you carrying Angelica? What can I help you two with?” Shaun asked.
“I’m carrying her because it was the faster way to get her and she’s not feeling the greatest.” Bernard answered.
Shaun takes Angelica into a little room than checks her out. Shaun starts to smile.
“Well it looks I have another congratulations to say to you.” Shaun said.
“Do you mean I’m pregnant again?” Angelica asked.
“Yes that exactly what I mean.” Shaun answered.
Angelica gets a happy look than runs out where Bernard is waiting and hugs him really tight.
“What’s this all about?” Bernard asked.
“I’m going to have another baby.” Angelica answered.
“Really you are?” Bernard asked.
“Yes really I am.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than picks up Angelica in his arms and swings her around than sets her down and kisses her.
“It looks someone is happy.” Angelica said.
Bernard smiles. A few hours pass and Bernard gets thirsty. Bernard walks down to the kitchen to find a glass that reads eggnog. Bernard’s favorite drink is eggnog so he drinks the glass of eggnog which is really milk. Curtis is watching for a distance than he leaves. Bernard suddenly starts feeling really sick and he runs up to the bathroom than throws up. Chandler hears Bernard than comes running.
“What’s wrong?” Chandler asked.
“I don’t know I had a drink down in the kitchen and now I feel really sick.” Bernard answered.
“What was it that you drank?” Chandler asked.
“It was eggnog.” Bernard answered.
“Are you sure?” Chandler asked.
“Yes I’m sure.” Bernard answered.
Bernard moans.
“What now?” Chandler asked.
“I’ve a really bad pain in my lower stomach.” Bernard answered.
Chandler leaves than goes to Shaun.
“What can I help you with?” Shaun asked.
“I’d like to know what the symptoms of lactose attack are.” Chandler answered.
“Well there’s pain in the lower stomach and throwing up just a name a few.” Shaun answered.
“Anything else?” Chandler asked.
“Yes you could get a little gas and gurgling or rumbling sounds in the lower stomach.” Shaun answered.
“Thanks you’ve been a big help Shaun.” Chandler said.
Chandler goes back where Bernard is to find him on the ground of the kitchen. Chandler suddenly hears Bernard’s stomach making a gurgling sound. Chandler sighs. Bernard looks at him.
“Yeah I figured out well we gone and I have an idea who did this.” Bernard said.
“Who?” Chandler asked.
“Curtis who else.” Bernard answered.
“How did he find out that you are lactose intolerant?” Chandler asked.
“That’s very simple I heard him telling you a few hours ago.” Curtis answered.
“Why? What made you sink this low?” Bernard asked.
“Oh just for the fun of it.” Curtis answered.
Chandler looks at Bernard.
“You need to her.” Chandler said.
“I know that Chandler.” Bernard replied.
“Do you want me to get her?” Chandler asked.
“Yes I do.” Bernard answered.
Chandler runs to where Angelica.
“Have you seen my husband?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah he’s down in the kitchen.” Chandler answered.
Chandler starts to head back down to the kitchen with Angelica right behind him. Angelica gasps when she sees Bernard on the floor. Angelica runs to Bernard and kneels beside him.
“Are you okay?” Angelica asked.
“Not really and it is all Curtis’s fault.” Bernard answered.
“What do you mean?” Angelica asked.
“I tricked Bernard into drinking milk.” Curtis answered.
“So big deal.” Angelica said.
“Did you ever wonder why he never touches milk?” Curtis asked.
“Yeah I have.” Angelica answered.
“Well I know why.” Curtis said.
Angelica looks at Bernard.
“What’s he talking about?” Angelica asked.
“Angelica my angel I’m lactose intolerant.” Bernard answered.
“You what? Why didn’t you tell me?” Angelica asked.
“I wanted to believe me but I also didn’t want you to worry about me.” Bernard answered.
Angelica gets to her feet and storms out of the kitchen. Bernard gets to his feet than runs after Angelica.
“Wait up my angel.” Bernard yelled.
Angelica doesn’t listen and just keeps walking. Bernard sighs. Angelica runs to the loneliest part of the Santa’s Village. A few hours pass and Angelica still hasn’t got back. Bernard is starting getting really worry. Bernard goes to where Ivy is kissing Garland and clears his throat. Garland and Ivy stop kissing. Ivy looks at Bernard.
“What is it Bernard?” Ivy asked.
“I need you to find Angelica for me because she took off early when I told her that I’m lactose intolerant.” Bernard answered.
Garland kisses Ivy than she leaves to find Angelica. Ivy suddenly sees Angelica than walks over and sits down next to her.
“Hi sis.” Ivy said.
“What do you want?” Angelica asked.
“Your husband sent me to find because he’s really worried about you.” Ivy answered.
“Well I don’t want to talk him because he kept a secret from me and for that I don’t know if I can trust him anymore.” Angelica said.
“Stop talking nonsense sis because you can’t be mad at the love of your life and I know deep down you know that I’m right.” Ivy replied.
Angelica sighs than starts crying. Ivy pulls Angelica into a passionate sisterly hug. Bernard is watching them and he just smiles. Angelica gets to her feet than starts to walk back inside. Angelica suddenly sees Bernard. Angelica walks over to Bernard and hugs him.
“I’m sorry for getting mad my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
“No I’m the one that’s sorry because I should told about me being lactose intolerant and I didn’t.” Bernard replied.

“Did you tell Ivy your news my angel?” Bernard asked.
“No I didn’t yet.” Angelica answered.
Ivy walks over to Bernard and Angelica.
“What is he talking about?” Ivy asked.
“I’m going to have another baby.” Angelica answered.
“Really?” Ivy asked.
“Yeah really sis.” Angelica answered.
“That’s cool and so I am.” Ivy answered.
“Really you are?” Angelica asked.
“Yeah really I am.” Ivy answered.
“Have you told Garland yet?” Bernard asked.
“No I haven’t.” Ivy answered.
Bernard suddenly remembers about promising Garland about making a ring. Bernard runs inside Santa’s Workshop. Garland comes over to Bernard.
“Did you make that ring yet?” Garland asked.
“I’m going to make it right now.” Bernard answered.
“Okay cool and I would like to have her birthstone in the middle which is Blue Sapphire.” Garland said.

“There’s something you need about what Curtis did today.” Angelica said.
“What did he do this time?” Santa asked.
“He tricked Bernard into drinking milk which made him very sick because he’s lactose intolerant.” Angelica answered.
“CURTIS.” Santa yelled.
Curtis comes over to where Santa is.
“Yes Santa.” Curtis said.
“Is it true that you got Bernard sick by giving him milk?” Santa asked.

“I don’t know mommy but he does.” Noél answered.
Angelica sighs than goes up to hers and Bernard’s room. Bernard is sitting their bed. Angelica sits down next to Bernard.
“What did you want me for my teddy bear?” Angelica asked.
Bernard takes a something out for behind his back and it’s a single yellow daffodil. Bernard gives it to Angelica and she kisses him.
“I wanted to sing that song that I wrote along time ago with you.” Bernard answered.
“Really you do?” Angelica asked.
“Yes really I do.” Bernard answered.
“I love to sing it with you.” Angelica said.
Bernard gets the piece of paper that has the song that he wrote for Angelica.
Angelica: You are my life
My heart is yours
You are my everything
My love for you comes from the bottom of my heart
You've bought the joy back into my life
Both:
Love you always
You are my love
You are my life
Love you always
Bernard:
My life would be incomplete without you
You've shown me so much
I will love you forever
You have helped me be happy again
You are everything I've wanted
Angelica:
My life is better because of you
I want to be yours forever
without you I would be miserable
you’re so sweet and romantic
Both:
I have been waiting all my life for someone like you
I'm so happy to have you in my life
Bernard smiles.
“I wrote two other songs for you and I would like to sing them to you.” Bernard said.
“What are they called?” Angelica asked.
“They are called You're My Inspiration and You've Changed My Life.” Bernard answered.
Bernard takes out another piece of paper.
I don't know what is about you
But you bring out the passion, romance and emotion that I never knew existed inside of me
You've care for me like nobody has before
I know deep down in far reaches of my heart that you are to everything to me
You're my inspiration
You're the reason that I'm so happy
You're my inspiration
You mean absolutely everything to me
You're my inspiration
When we are talking I'm on cloud nine
I'm ever so happy that you're mine
My love for is like a circle because no ending can be found
I'm starting to believe that fate bought us together
My heart is filled with warmth from the love you have shown me
I don't what I'd do without you in my life
My world would fall apart with you
I'll be by your side forever and a day
I'll continue to love you more with each passing day
My world is so much brighter with you in it
When you are not around I miss more than you could every imagine
It feels like my heart is missing apart of it
I will love you for the rest of my life
Angelica smiles and so does Bernard. Bernard kisses her before he starts singing the next song that he wrote for her.
The power of your love for me has bought new meaning to my life
I'll love you forever with all the passion locked deep inside me
The sound of voice just sings to my heart
When I hear you speak I just want to melt
You've changed my life
My heart is full of love only for you
You've change my life
I love you and you alone forever
You've changed my life
I know understand the true meaning of love
I've learned that love conquers all
Love has become a big part of my life
And I owe it all to you
Bernard pulls Angelica close to him. Angelica just smiles.
“What did you think of the two new songs that I wrote for you?” Bernard asked.
“They were absolutely wonderful.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than kisses Angelica very passionately. All of a sudden there’s a knock on the door. Bernard gets his feet than walks over and opens the door to find Ivy standing on the other side.
“What can I help you with Ivy?” Bernard asked.
“My father wants to see Angelica down in Santa’s Workshop immediately.” Ivy answered.
Angelica kisses Bernard than goes with Ivy down to Santa’s Workshop. Tim walks over to Angelica and Ivy.
“You left in such a hurry that I never got a chance to tell you that I’m not very happy you having a daughter and being pregnant again.” Tim said.
“What do you mean?” Angelica asked.
“I just don’t think you are really ready for that kind of reasonability.” Tim answered.
Angelica starts getting a little angry.
“Dad I love Bernard. I also love my daughter and my unborn child because they were both created from mine and Bernard’s love.” Angelica said.
Garland comes running over. Ivy looks at Garland.
“Where’s the fire hon?” Ivy asked.
Garland sighs.
“There is no fire but I know a certain little girl that it’s feeling well.” Garland answered.
“Oh no Niege.” Ivy said.
“Not it’s not Niege it’s Noél.” Garland replied.
“Where is she?” Angelica asked in a concerned motherly voice.
“She’s over with Niege.” Garland answered.
Angelica walks over to where Niege and Noél. Angelica notices just how pale Noél is. Angelica picks up Noél in her arms and rocks her back ‘n’ forth.
“Mommy I don’t feel so good.” Noél said.
“Yeah I know sweetie and you will be just fine.” Angelica replied.
“How do you know mommy?” Noél asked.
“I just know sweetie.” Angelica answered.
Tim is watching the whole thing than he walks over to Angelica.
“I owe you an absolutely sweetie because I can see what you are perfect mother.” Tim said.
Angelica smiles than carries Noél up to hers and Bernard’s bedroom.
Bernard is play computer games on his laptop computer. Angelica clears her throat. Bernard looks up for his laptop and notices Noél in his wife’s arms. Bernard than notices just how pale his daughter is.
“What’s wrong with Noél?” Bernard asked.
“She’s sick Bernard.” Angelica answered.
“What?” Bernard asked.
“You heard me.” Angelica answered.
Bernard sighs.
“I’m going to check on the elves to make sure they are doing their jobs so if anything changes with our daughter let me know.” Bernard said.
Angelica nods her head than kisses Bernard and than he leaves. A few hours later Angelica comes down and looks around. Curtis walks over to Angelica.
“What are you looking for cutie?” Curtis asked.
“I’m looking for my husband and don’t call me that.” Angelica answered.
“Oh come on you know that you’ve always secretly wanted me.” Curtis said.
“Curtis get a life or a girlfriend.” Angelica replied.
“Ah, come on Angelica you’re so want me.” Curtis said.
“I don’t want you now get away from me.” Angelica yelled.
Curtis puts his arm around Angelica. Angelica brushes it off.
“There’s no need to that my dear.” Curtis said.
“Look here Curtis stop it and I mean it.” Angelica screamed.
Bernard is watching than he walks over. Bernard grabs Curtis by the back of his shirt and pins him to the wall.
“YOU LEAVE MY WIFE ALONE UNDERSTAND CURTIS OR ELSE I WOULD BE REASONABLE FOR WHAT I DO TO YOU.” Bernard screamed at the top of his lungs.
“You don’t deserve her because she should be with me.” Curtis said.
Bernard growls.
“I love you her and you have no right to say those kinds of things. So like I said leave her alone or else.” Bernard yelled.
“What’s the worse that you could do?” Curtis asked.
“You are about to find out.” Bernard answered as he picks up Curtis takes him out the balcony.
Bernard holds Curtis over the edge of the balcony. Curtis looks down than gasps.
“You won’t dare.” Curtis said.
“Don’t temper me because I just might.” Bernard replied.
Angelica runs out the balcony. Santa comes running too.
BERNARD PUT CURTIS DOWN NOW.” Santa yelled.
“No I won’t not until he agrees to leave my wife alone.” Bernard said.
Santa shakes his head than leaves. Curtis is getting really scared now. Bernard puts him a little lower. Curtis starts whimpering in fear. Bernard grins evilly.
“There is also my payback on you for making me sick too.” Bernard said.
Angelica walks up to Bernard and looks at him.
"Please my teddy bear put Curtis because you're scared me and I don't like this violent side of you." Bernard said.
Bernard looks at into Angelica's blue eyes and sees the fear in them. Bernard sets Curtis down.

"He never told me that he had an ex-girlfriend. I am going to have to talk with that husband of mine." Angelica said under her breath.
"What did you say?" Elisabeth asked.
"I said that he never told me that he had an ex-girlfriend." Angelica answered.
"Not that part the other part you said after that?" Elisabeth asked.
"Oh I said that I am going to have to talk with that husband of mine." Angelica answered.
"Husband? Who's your husband?" Elisabeth asked.
Before Angelica could answer Bernard walked up to Angelica and put his arms around her.
"Hey, sweetie." Bernard said to his wife.

Just then Bernard noticed Elisabeth.
"What are you doing here?" Bernard asked.
"I'm here to see you, sweetheart." Elisabeth answered.
When she said that it made Angelica very mad.
"Look here Elisabeth no one and I mean no one calls him that except me!" Angelica said in an angry tone.
"Well whether or not I am going to get him back." Elisabeth said.
"Oh no you're not!" Angelica yelled.
"Oh yes I am!" Elisabeth yelled.
"Girls stop yelling. There is only one girl for me." Bernard said.
"Who is that?" Angelica and Elisabeth asked at the same time.
"I am going to kiss the one and only girl for me right now." Bernard answered.
Bernard pulled his wife close and kissed her passionately. That made Elisabeth mad.
"That won't stop me from getting Bernard back." Elisabeth said and then stormed off.
Angelica turns to Bernard with an angry look on her face. Bernard gets a scared look on his face.
“Why did you tell me about Elisabeth?” Angelica asked in an angry voice.
“I didn’t think it was important because we broke up long before I started falling in love with you.” Bernard answered.
A few hours later Elisabeth is walking around the workshop. Angelica is up hers and Bernard’s room. Elisabeth walks to Bernard and than takes him where they can talk privately. Elisabeth leans over and starts kissing Bernard. Bernard’s eyes widen in shock and he pulls away.
“Stop it right now Elisabeth because this isn’t right because I have Angelica now and I love her with all my heart.” Bernard said.

"What's wrong sis?" Ivy asked.
"I saw Bernard and his ex-girlfriend kissing." Angelica answered through her tears.
"What are you going to do about that?" Ivy asked.
"I'm not sure yet." Angelica answered.
Angelica starts crying harder. Ivy marches to where Bernard and Elisabeth.
“BERNARD, HOW COULD YOU HURT MY SISTER LIKE THIS? DON’T REALIZE WHAT THIS KIND OF STRESS COULD DO HER RIGHT NOW?” Ivy asked in a yelled.
“Yes I do realize but you have to know that it was all Elisabeth’s fault.” Bernard answered.
“Well don’t tell me that tell your wife before it’s too late.” Ivy said.
Bernard walks up to his and Angelica’s room to find her still crying. Bernard sighs. Angelica looks up.
“GET OUT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO TALK YOU AFTER WHAT YOU DID. I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS ONE BERNARD.” Angelica screamed.
Bernard sighs than leaves and goes to where Elisabeth is.
“THANKS A LOT ELISABETH.” Bernard yelled.
“For what?” Elisabeth.
“ANGELICA IS MAD AT ME BECAUSE OF YOU AND I DON’T LIKE HER BEING THAT WAY. I LOVE YOU HER WITH ALL M Y HEART AND YOU MAY HAVE JUST RUIN THE LOVE THAT I SHARE WITH YOU SO I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU ARE HAPPY NOW.” Bernard screamed.

“Oh come you know that you want me back and you have to stop denying it.” Elisabeth said.
“NO ELISABETH I DON’T WANT YOU BACK NOW JUST LEAVE ME ALONE BECAUSE YOU’VE CAUSED ENOUGH TROUBLE AT AS.” Bernard screamed.
“Fine be that way but I can’t change that I still love you.” Elisabeth said.
Bernard shakes his head than goes say something back and nothing comes out. Chandler walks over to Bernard.
“What’s the matter?” Chandler asked.
Bernard points to his throat. Crystale comes over followed by Ivy.
“I think he’s trying to say that he lost his voice.” Ivy answered.

“What are you doing here sis?” Angelica asked.
“I know that you are mad at your husband but there’s something that need to know about him.” Ivy answered.
“I don’t want to talk about Bernard right now.” Angelica screamed.
“You don’t understand sis something happened to him.” Ivy said.
Angelica looks at Ivy.
“What happen to him?” Angelica asked.

Chandler walks over with a chalk board and a piece of chalk.
“If you need to say something than use this.” Chandler said.
Bernard nods his head. Bernard writes something down on the chalk board than sets it on Angelica’s lap. It reads I thought that you were mad at me. Angelica smiles a little.
“Well I was mad at you but when Ivy came to me and told me that you lost your voice all that angry melted away.” Angelica replied.
Bernard erasers the message than writes “It wasn’t my fault because Elisabeth kissed me because I would never dream of doing to that to anyone but you”.

“I love you my teddy bear.” Angelica said.
Bernard just smiles. Bernard writes something else on the chalk board which is “We need find someone else for Elisabeth so that she won’t try to take me away from you.” Angelica nods her head.

Bernard gets a confused look on his face. Angelica pulls Bernard close to her and kisses him like she never kissed him before. Bernard’s eyes widen in shock. An hour and half later Angelica breaks the kiss. Bernard looks at Angelica.
“Wow I didn’t know that you had in you.” Bernard said.
“Yes it worked.” Angelica replied.

“My kiss bought your voice back.” Angelica answered.
Bernard smiles than hugs Angelica. Ivy comes over them.
“I know the perfect person for Elisabeth.” Ivy said.
“Who is it?” Bernard asked.

Angel is 3 months old now. Angelica is sitting on her bed and Angel is her crib. Angel starts crying.. Noél and BJ look at their sister than at their mother.
“Mom make her stop because she’s loud.” Noél said.
“I’m sorry sweetie-pie but I can’t only your father can.” Angelica replied.
Bernard walks into the room at the very moment than picks up Angel is his arms and she cuddles up to him. Bernard sits on the bed with Angel still clinging to him. A few months pass. Angel is 9 months now. Bernard is sitting on the bed when Angelica comes into the room. Bernard looks over at Angel. Angel looks up at him.
“DADA.” Angel said.
Bernard’s eyes widen in shock.
“Did you hear what she said my angel?” Bernard asked.
“Yeah I did.” Angelica answered.
Bernard gets to his feet than goes over to Angel and picks her up in his arms. Bernard swings Angel around in his arms.
“Daddy’s so proud of you cutie-pie.” Bernard said.
Angel just smiles.
“Where have seen that smile before?” Bernard asked.
“From mommy.” Angel answered.
“You’re right cutie-pie.” Bernard said.
Angelica just smiles. A few days go by. Noél and BJ are sitting on the floor playing with Angel. Angelica is sitting on the bed watching them. Bernard walks into the room. Angel looks at her father than uses the bed to pull herself up. Angel walks the length of the bed than lets go and starts walking towards her father. Bernard and Angelica’s eyes widen.
“She’s walking.” Angelica said.
Angel reaches her father and looks up at him.
“Want up dada.” Angel replied.
Bernard picks up Angel in his arms just as Ivy comes into the room with Niege and Christian. Noél walks over and hugs Niege. Niege hugs Noél back. BJ and Christian give each other a high five.
“It’s very easy to see that Angel is a daddy’s girl.” Ivy said.
Angelica nods her head.
“Yeah that she is. Since BJ and Noél favor me Bernard was feeling left out.” Angelica said.
Bernard just smiles.
“I love your smile dada.” Angel said.
Bernard just smiles again. Angel smiles too. Angelica walks over to Bernard and hugs him than they kiss. Angel, BJ, Noél, Christian and Niege start to gag. Angelica, Bernard and Ivy all bust out laughing. Bernard kisses Angelica again.
