The Santa Clause 3:the Escape Clause Novels & Stories

She said, "Done. The examination is over. We can head back now." "Mommy..." said the three little ones. They were obviously unwilling. The three little ones recalled that they had not been out shopping for a long time as a family! 'Daddy and Mommy haven't taken us with them for a long time to have a meal or something. 'Since we're out today, why are we rushing back?' The three little ones thought. Claudia was the cheeky one. She was the first to grab Molly's clothes and softly said, "Mommy, let's not go back, okay? Christmas is around the corner. There are so many beautiful and fun things on the street. Take us around for a walk."

Aunt Clara was a big spender, and I often to see her in the mall displaying her expensive dress with paper bags of designer labels in her bodyguard's hands. She has a son and a daughter who are both similar to her, I rarely speak with my cousins and I am not particularly connected to them. Carl, his son, exudes a playboy image and is frequently seen in the bar squandering his money on the most expensive wine. Clair, his daughter, was her mini-me, the last time I saw her, she was fresh from a trip overseas, clutching fancy paper bags. Papa asked to where she had gone, and she replied that she had been to Paris to get Chanel's current release and limited edition products.

ALVA The sound of the car engine roused me from my half-sleep as Nikolas pulled up in front of me. That was what I got for insisting I made breakfast for all three of us despite staying up super late the night before and playing a game of 'we aren't really strangers' with Nikolas. For me, it was some sort of escapism. When Nikolas got through to me, it always felt like I was betraying Charis' memory. At the same time, it felt wrong to continue to judge Klaus by actions he committed in the past when it was crystal clear he wasn't that sort of person anymore. I patted an equally sleepy Samuel and carried him in my arms. He had an appointment today, and while I wanted to follow him, I had schoo

“Hurry up, soon,” Jordan said, as she buckled Aaron’s car seat. “Yes. Yes. Coming.” Adrian locked the door and walked toward his car. As planned the trio was spending Christmas Eve together. Jordan had promised to show places to them around. “So where are we going first?” Adrian asked, starting the car engine. “Gallatin County Regional Park,” she set the GPS. Along the way to the park, Here comes Santa Claus played from the car’s music system. To which, Aaron clapped hands and tried singing. Jordan and Adrian just smiled looking at the little guy enjoying the music and the ride.

I give him a nod and smile then he turns his attention back to Nina, while I make quick work of getting dressed, the whole time my mind drifts back to last night and even more so when I use the bathroom and feel soreness between my legs but it only makes me smile. Once I'm done we step out of the bedroom with an excited Nina bouncing in Riley's arms. "Good morning!" Josh sings out the moment we step into the lounge. "Santa came!" Nina screams when she notices the gifts surrounding the Christmas tree. She squirms in his arms to be let down and he laughs as he does just that. She runs over to the tree as quickly as her little legs can carry her all while constantly shouting her excitement abou

Before I could respond, headlights swept across the front windows. Silence immediately filled the room. My father straightened. My mother smoothed her hair. And somehow my own pulse became deafening. A car door shut outside. Then another. The front gate clicked softly in the distance. For one insane second, I actually considered running. The knock came three beats later. My father practically rushed to open it. Cold winter air flooded the foyer first. “Merry Christmas,” he said warmly as he stepped inside, snow melting slowly from the shoulders of his dark coat.

She approached him then simultaneously took the baseball bat that Eurus was holding. "To Fend yourself, idiot!" She answered in exasperation as she took the baseball bat. "Fend me from what?" Eurus expressed as he tilted his head with a look of bewilderment. It didn't make sense to him, their actions were so strange. They seem to be avoiding something. "We don't have time to answer your questions," Kaya stated. "Cashew, Peanut, Let's go. Luke is waiting." She added. Cashew, Peanut, and together with Kaya geared themselves as they plan to leave the place. With Cashew holding his combat knife, and Kaya holding an ax as her weapon to wield. Leaving Peanut barehanded, for she still lacks the cou

The deadline for the marriage registration has now expired. "Mission failed. "The elimination program will be activated. "Counting down. 48 hours left." The next instant, Samantha set her camera down and looked at me. "Nat, why won't you smile? You're the prettiest today!" She swept her gaze around and finally fathomed the situation. Her voice was trembling as she asked, "Nat… did you find out about everything?" I forced a bitter smile with red-rimmed eyes. Samantha raised her arm and threw the camera at Charles.

Luca held Grace. Derek held Hope. Luke held Derek Jr. Grace Marie slept. We were a family. The doorbell rang. Luca answered. Tom stood there. His face was serious. He said Claire had escaped again. I stood up. Tom said she was headed here. Luca locked the door. Eli checked the windows. Luke gathered the children. I called the police. They said they were on their way. We waited. The door rattled. Claire's voice came through the wood. She said she would kill us all.

Melanie stepped out from behind Henry, her face a picture of innocence, yet her smile was anything but. "Selena, this is the maternity ward. How could you just 'pass by'? You're here for Henry, aren't you?" Henry's eyes, complicated and heavy, landed on me, his voice filled with resignation, "Selena, there's no need for this. I told you that we're getting remarried on the first of next month." I stayed quiet, hiding behind Wren, not ready to reveal the truth. Melanie's eyes flashed with anger, and suddenly she clutched her stomach while exclaiming, "My stomach... Is the baby coming?!"
