Chapter 1

Ding,Dong

"Hello, welcome to our shop!" A man said to a young woman.

"Oh hello, such a nice shop you have!" The woman said and looked around. Then suddenly a voice was heard "Daddyyyy!!!" A young girl screamed and came running to the man, who immediately lifted her up." What happened princess?" He asked her. "Mommy is mad..." She whispered." Oh.... My dear Ember you are on your own on this one…" The man said and put Ember down. "Daddyy?!"Ember yelled, and her mother appeared from the back of the shop. Ember and the man gulped and looked at her."Mommy" "Honey" They said. "Ember come here"She said, and Ember couldn't help but go. Her mom looked mad but she suddenly started tickling Ember."You little trouble maker come here" They started laughing and the shop was filled with warmth and laughter.

Later that night

"Babyyy?" The man said a bit loudly from the bedroom."What's wrong Theo?"The woman said from the bathroom,since she was getting ready for bed."Hurry up.."Theo whined like a child and she giggled. Theo immediately got up and went to the bathroom. He back hugged her and rested his head on her shoulder."Come on Maya...Lets go to sleep,we also have to go tuck in Ember."He said and kissed her neck."Ok ok how impatient".

After a while they got ready and went to Ember's room. When they got in they met Ember's tired eyes."What took you so long mommy?" Ember asked and finally laid down. Theo and Maya sat besides her, tucked her in and gave her a kiss on the forehead."Good night love" "Good night princess!" They said and left the room.

After a month.

"Bye bye,come by again!" Theo said to a customer.

"How are you holding up honey?"Maya asked and Theo gave her a reassuring smile."I am perfectly fine,how about you?" He asked and Maya replayed the same thing. They never got tired of their jobs no matter how difficult it would get. Now that Christmas was around the corner things were getting a bit out of hand but they always managed.

"Look daddy, i made a new Christmas decoration!!!"Ember yelled as she was running to them.

"Oh my god, that's so good!" Maya told her and patted her daughter's head. Ember had a talent, making Christmas ornaments. Even though she was really young she made excellent and unique decorations that Theo and Maya sell.

After a while of praising their daughter a family came in the shop. "Oh hello,welcome to our shop!"Theo said and got back at his position.

"Hello!I would like to see some Christmas toys."A woman said and Theo said with a big smile."Sure,follow me". A man,probably the father of the child that came in with them,stayed behind and admired the decorations."Those are amazing!"He said and Maya laughed."Would you like to see them from a closer look?"She asked politely and the man agreed immediately. Ember was holding what she made and then she noticed a little boy.

"Oh hellooo!" She said and approached the boy.

"I am Ember,nice to meet you! What's your name?"

"Oh...Hello, my name is Ash"

The parents couldn't help but giggle at the sweet interaction of their kids
