The next morning soon came as Zofia was the first one awake and she wiped her window to look out into the bright new morning with snow all around which made her very happy, even if yesterday's news was a little heartbreaking. LJ yawned as he got up to wash his face.
"Felicem Natalem Christi, Brother." Zofia told her brother.
"What? Oh... Right..." LJ replied from her greeting. "Merry Christmas, Zo."
Zofia beamed as she looked a bit happier as she came out of bed to start her day.
Lionel was already under the tree, opening his presents. "Merry Christmas, kids!" he waved to LJ and Zofia.
LJ and Zofia smiled as they came down to join him at the tree. Mal, Evie, Jay, Carlos, Ben, Doug, Lonnie, and Jane soon came to join them.
"Thank you for coming!" Zofia beamed.
"Hey, we're all family in a way," Jay replied. "Maybe next year you could come visit us."
"Heh... That would be neat!" LJ replied.
Lionel soon gave presents to the Descendants as even they had some to share with each other. The eight smiled to each other as they then opened their own presents to see what they were given.
"Hey... Everyone... I know we're a little down about Felicity not being here..." Cherry said as she soon came in.
"It is a bit of a bummer..." Jay replied. "I guess we'll be okay though."
"I just hope she finds a way to enjoy her Christmas with Chip." Mal added.
"Actually-" Cherry was about to say.
"We were just really looking forward to our first family holiday with her... She's like our sister too." Carlos then said.
"I think you guys might still get the chance..." Lionel smirked.
"Yeah... Next year, I guess..." Evie said.
"Kids!" Cherry spoke up to make them stop talking so she could say what she wanted to say.
"It's alright, ma'am," Lonnie said. "Maybe we'll call her later."
"Kids!" Cherry tried again.
"That might be a good idea," Ben smiled. "It'll be our own little Enchanted Christmas like my mom's first Christmas with my dad."
"Kids! Listen to me! Felicity is-" Cherry tried again.
The song Circle of Life soon began to play out of nowhere as Chip and Felicity soon came into the room, much to the shock of everyone, and Felicity removed the blanket to show a bundle with skin as white as snow with dark blue eyes like a midnight blue sky with golden hair.
"Here...?" Cherry then said.
"My friends... My family..." Felicity said to them before presenting the baby. "This is Honey Potts. My daughter."
LJ gasped. "I'm... An UNCLE!" he shrieked in glee.
"I'm an auntie!" Zofia added.
"And you are godparents." Felicity then told her old friends from Auradon Prep.
The Descendants cheered at that, but made sure to keep quiet so they didn't disrupt Honey from her slumber.
"Turn it off." Cherry groaned.
"I can't turn it off, it's who I am." Chip said as he presented Honey to the other Descendants.
"The music, Chip!" Cherry replied.
"Oh, right." Chip said sheepishly, turning off the music.
"This is definitely the best Christmas gift yet." grinned LJ.
Felicity soon handed presents to LJ and Zofia, patting them on their heads as she followed her husband to let their old friends meet Honey as they all cooed and beamed to Honey. "I'm sure she'll like you the most since you've always been like my best friend brother like Uncle Atticus to Mother." she then told Carlos.
"And you're my best friend sister, Felicity." Carlos smiled.
Then the both of them hugged.
Later on, Felicity began to play Hark Herald the Angels Sing on the piano while everyone else soon sang along. Zofia took out her present which appeared to be a scholarship to a prestigious school to check out called The Avalanche Arts Academy. LJ cracked his knuckles and then proceeded to open his present. Zofia looked over the special art school she might like to go to as she thanked her sister. Felicity smiled while playing her piano. LJ was given a collector's set of Power Rangers action figures.
"Okay... This is pretty neat." LJ smiled, though he felt a little worried about Zofia getting the scholarship.
"You do like Power Rangers, right?" Felicity asked. "I know you're not into sports much, so I tried to avoid the stereotypical shopping for young boys your age."
"Aw... Thanks, sis!" LJ nodded. "You got that right!"
"I could've sworn someone told me that you did!" Felicity replied.
Eventually, Honey woke up and began to crawl around on the floor, babbling a bit.
"Can we let Honey meet some baby friends?" Zofia asked.
"Well... Um... I suppose that would be nice," Felicity said. "We travel around the world and all."
"And maybe she'll have a baby friend of her own soon," LJ replied. "Especially since Mom is gonna have another kid in a few more weeks!"
"Mother... Are you...?" Felicity asked.
"I am..." Cherry replied.
"Whoa... Baby Uncle..." Jay commented. "And I thought my Aunt Nasira was crazy."
"Oh, yeah, I remember that." Lionel replied.
"Uh... You met my aunt?" Jay asked him.
"Oh, sure, we all did!" Lionel replied. "We were ALL pretty shocked to find out Jafar had a sister! As shocked as I was that Yzma had children!"
"Please tell me she cloned them..." LJ replied. "Because that's the only logical explanation."
"I'm afraid I'm not sure, but that Zevon creep could never keep his hands off me." Felicity groaned in her own disgust.
"I'm pretty sure she cloned them," LJ replied. "And if he tries that again with his hands, I'll be happy to break them!"
"Aw, you don't have to do that." Felicity blushed a little.
"Hey, anything for family," LJ replied. "Besides, I saw it in a mob movie."
"Mother, you let him watch that?" Felicity gasped.
"I don't remember doing that." Cherry remarked as she shared Christmas cookies with everybody.
"Of course NOT," LJ replied. "I watched it myself."
"Ahh..." Felicity then said. "I didn't think Mother would approve of you watching that as a family movie night."
"Yeah, that's true." LJ shrugged.
"Have some cookies," Cherry offered. "...You guys do know what cookies are, right?"
"Yeah, for the most part," Jay replied. "We mostly found out more about them when Mal made those chocolate chip cookies for Ben."
The group then each took a cookie.
"Oh, they're so soft." Ben smiled.
"Special recipe I found in my grandmother's old recipe box once I could decipher her handwriting." Cherry replied.
"Whoa!" Zofia exclaimed as she ate the cookie. "That's... Crazy good!"
"That's new." Cherry smirked a bit.
"I love how soft they are... Can I have the recipe?" Evie asked.
"You might have to steal it from me." Cherry smirked playfully.
Jay was soon shown trying to steal Cherry's grandmother's recipe box.
"JAY!" Cherry glared. "That was an expression!"
"Oh, sorry!" Jay replied.
Everyone rolled their eyes.
"You sure you weren't really Aladdin's kid?" asked Lionel.
"Nah, Aziz travels with his grandfather Cassim," Jay replied. "He was supposed to come to school with us, but he never showed up."
"That's what Aladdin and Jasmine told me too when Ben and I visited them before the Cotillion in school." Mal commented.
"Oh... Okay." Lionel shrugged.
"I think I just got my dad's sticky fingers when it comes to taking stuff I really want like he did with Genie's lamp." Jay smiled sheepishly.
"Well, cut that out or I'll tell my mother that you were the one who took her honey cake before the rest of us got to have any when my uncles visited." Lonnie smirked to her boyfriend.
Jay gulped nervously.
"That's what I thought." Lonnie smirked to her boyfriend.
Jay then put the box back down as he came back to the others. Carlos soon cooed to Honey and played with her a bit as he seemed to be closer to her.
"Well, they seem close," Chip smiled. "Must be from Felicity and Carlos's friendship. Always reminded me of Cherry and Atticus's friendship."
"Yeah, I can see that." Lionel chuckled.
"Oh, Carlos, you're so good with kids." Jane smiled.
"I try my best, really." Carlos smiled back.
"Let's have one." Jane then suggested.
"Uh... I think we should talk that over first, Jane." Carlos then said sheepishly.
The others all had a good laugh over that.
"I really hope Eddy's Christmas turned out better." Zofia sighed hopefully.
"Yeah, same." LJ added.
"So, uh, what was with that whole Battle Frog thing or whatever?" Jay asked the Schwartz siblings as Carlos continued to play around with Honey.
"Battletoads, for the record," LJ replied. "Apparently the Eds can become these amphibian warriors to fight this evil space queen and other evil foes."
"That's gotta be one of the craziest things I've ever heard," Carlos said. "But also kinda cool."
"I don't know much about it myself, but I've heard quite the details in some of my siblings' letters." Felicity replied.
"It's a whole long story," LJ replied. "Our friends know plenty about it."
"So, Felicity, how long do you plan on staying for a visit?" Cherry asked.
"Well, Chip and I have been gone a long time, so we were thinking... Maybe three months?" Felicity replied.
"Well... Only if you remember to pull your weight around the house when you need to." Lionel said.
"Of course we will," Felicity promised. "Maybe we could take a family vacation or something."
"That would be great!" LJ exclaimed. "Where would we go?"
"That's a good question..." Chip replied.
"Oh, why don't you come back to Auradon for a visit?" Jay asked Felicity. "We've missed you so much down there. I'm sure Mal would like to see her lady-in-waiting again."
"Huh... That would be cool!" LJ and Zofia exclaimed.
"We'll talk it over." Felicity said.
"Group hug!" Evie squealed.
The group soon all hugged each other while Felicity smiled tearfully since she felt very lucky to have such good friends like them. And LJ and Zofia felt pretty lucky too.
"Say, anybody see Ambrose since last night?" Zofia soon wondered.
Meanwhile, at the old Victorian house...
"Brose? You awake?" Drell asked, knocking on his son's bedroom door before opening it as he adjusted his glasses. "Not like you to miss-...Breakfast."
Ambrose was shown to be sleeping in his bed with Marie beside him, and both of them were smiling.
"Awww..." Drell smiled. "That's... Pretty damn cute."
"Are we going to open presents or... What...?" Hilda asked him before glancing into the room with a slight yelp. "He's too young to share a bed with a girl!"
"Yeah, but he's not DOING anything but sleeping," Drell shrugged. "Let's just let him have this."
"But... But... But... But..." Hilda stammered.
"Shh... This way we can get a little more sleep, unlike when he was a little kid and woke us up at the crack of dawn." Drell chuckled, pushing her down the hallway to go back to their bedroom.
And Marie and Ambrose kept right on sleeping.
We are then shown as everyone else in the neighborhood shared their own pleasant Christmas mornings with each other. Ed and Candy smiled before exchanging gifts to see that Candy gave Ed his own barbarian helmet and Ed gave Candy what looked like a new crown with many jewels on it to look exotic and glamorous since her old crown was sort of bland and boring compared to her mother's queen crown. Double D got a new chemistry kit from his parents. Eddy saw a bit of more clothes, making him stick his tongue out, though Angelica seemed to love the new dresses that Eddy's mother got for her. All-in-all, it was an okay Christmas, even if Eddy didn't get anything besides clothes. Although it's been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.
The End
