Summary: Daniel’s first Christmas

Annie was looking forward to Christmas this year. Christmas Eve was going to be low key, just her, Tim, and Danny. Tim cooking stew and dumplings, cake for afters, watching TV while cuddling with Danny. It's a nice quiet evening, just their little family. They exchange gifts to each other, and keep the tradition of new pyjamas. Even Danny has a tiny tartan sleeper and some tiny little Christmas socks.

They go to bed fairly early because they know Danny will be up with the sun. And so will Angela and Teddy and they want to be there for presents.

Annie's gift to Tim is a lab coat that she made for him. He's forever complaining that he never has enough pockets, so she puts a few extra on the inside. Has little ones that are the perfect size for pens. The lining in the sleeves is a blue a fabric that can only be seen when he rolls up his sleeves. And she embroidered T. Turner across the breast pocket. And Tim absolutely loves it.

He wears it forever. And then when it literally falls apart he still keeps it. She makes him new ones to replace the ones he wears to threads.

Tim was so excited for Annie to open what he got her. He’d talked to Violet about the options. She’d asked him what the large box under the tree was a few days before Christmas, but he’d kept avoiding answering her. His face was filled with childlike excitement when she unwraps it. He’s also a little nervous that it might come across as impersonal. But it nearly makes her cry.

"I figured if you had your own, you'd be able to do more work from home."

Annie looks at him. Her eyes full of tears. Skims her hands over the box

"Oh, Tim."

"Do you like it?" He asks nervously.

"I love it." She leans over to give him a giant hug. Clings to him a little bit. "Oh Tim, its perfect."

"I'm so glad you like it." Tim says giving her a squeeze.

"I do." She kisses his cheek, looking a bit shy. She did it without really thinking, so touched by his gesture. She blushes a bit when she settles back down next to him.

They didn't really get Danny too much. Most toys still being a bit old for him.

They got him a couple of "First Christmas" things, an outfit for dinner at Nonnatus, little bits and pieces Tim impulse brought on his way home from class. The toys that they did get him were small blocks and stacking toys, a new rattle, and a pull toy that he won’t be able to play with for a while still. And books. Tim reads to him every night, the little boy falling asleep on his Dad’s chest.

Christmas morning was a flurry activity, they planned to be at Shelagh and Patrick’s in time for breakfast. And they knew that Angela would start a mutiny if they were late. Especially because presents always had to wait until after everyone had eaten.

Annie kept Danny in his pyjamas. He had been up with the sun but Annie had felt he looked too adorable to put him in his Christmas outfit yet. He’s not the only one still his jammies when they get to Shelagh and Patrick’s, Angie and Teddy still have theirs on.

Once the door the is opened, Angie pushes past Shelagh and pulls Tim inside.

“Timmy! You’re almost late!” She scolds him pulling on his hand.

Shelagh and Annie laugh as they follow them inside.

“We’re not late and that’s what’s important!” Tim tells her when he’s finally able to set down the bag containing everyone’s gifts.

“But you ALMOST were.” She challenges.

“Ange,” Shelagh warns gently. Angie looks at her Mum with a sheepish grin and runs over to give Annie a hug.

Teddy and Angie bolted down their breakfasts, both so excited to not only get her presents, but to give the ones she got for everyone. She’d made biscuits with Shelagh and boxed them up for Annie and Tim, and with Shelagh’s help, she’d made a new hat for Danny. Angie loves the dress Annie made for her, a blue dress covered with a sunflower pattern, she demands to wear it to dinner at Nonnatus. Just like the year before, Annie got Teddy a new winter hat, and he was just as thrilled.

Shelagh and Annie had similar ideas for eachother. Shelagh and Patrick had gotten a bunch of photographs developed for her, and Shelagh put some into an album, leaving lots of room for future ones. Annie had made salt dough impressions of Danny’s hands, and framed a photo from Angie’s birthday. It had the whole family, actually in frame. But it wasn’t the fully posed one. Everyone had been caught off guard, not paying attention to the camera.

“I have this for Danny too.” Angie says climbing up on the sofa next to Annie. In her hands, a small stuffed blue bear. “This is Cuthbert the second. He looked after me and I don't need him now so he can look after Danny."

Annie wraps her arms around Angie, “Oh Ange, I’m sure Danny will love him and take good care of him in return.” Angie stays curled up next to Annie for a bit, until she’s told to go get dressed for caroling.

Shelagh and Annie get the little ones bundled up to go caroling. This year Teddy joins them, it's the first year he's asked to.

Tim decides to stay behind with Daniel and his Dad. Patrick, while he enjoys the music, has never been one for walking about in the cold if it can be helped. And he likes the opportunity for a little bit of peace and quiet, and to take the time to miss his first wife. Tim also doesn't want to pass up the opportunity to spend a bit of time just with his Dad and his son on Christmas. It gives them a chance to reminisce for a bit. Start telling Daniel some stories about his other Grandma. Patrick's been able to talk about her more the past few years. Tells Tim how proud of him his Mum would be, how much she would love little Daniel. And Annie. They both talk about how much they miss her, their voices quiet.

Daniel is sitting on Tim's lap, happily sucking on a set of teething keys.

"I wish she was here to see him." Tim says sadly.

He feels a little guilty saying it, because he loves Shelagh (and Angie and Teddy) so much. He never wants to make Shelagh feel like he doesn't love her, that he’s not glad she’s his mum too.

But he misses Mummy.

"I wish she could, too," Patrick replies, smiling when Danny swaps the teething keys for Patrick's knuckle. "I wish she could see how much you've grown. The man you're becoming."

Tim gives him half of a smile. "I hope she'd be proud of me."

Patrick pulls him into a tight hug, careful not to squish Danny, and kisses Tim's temple. "She would be. She would be so proud of you, Tim. As I am."

Danny reaches out and grabs a hold of the Patrick's brace, and laughs happily when it springs back from his hand when Patrick moves.

Tim smiles down at the little boy in his lap, his throat feeling a little thick.

"I love you, Dad."

"I love you too, Timothy." Patrick sets his hand on Tim's shoulder and gives it a squeeze before moving it to tickle Danny. "And you as well, Daniel."

Danny laughs hard at him. He tries to grab onto Patrick's fingers but Patrick is too quick for him. The little boy laughs harder at him and then stuffs his fist back in his mouth. Their conversation stays lighter as they wait for everyone to get back. Playing with Daniel and talking about plans for the new year. If Tim has thought about whether he might like to specialise more or stay in general practice.

Shelagh and Annie come back to see them both sitting on the floor, Daniel standing with Tim's help and Patrick making faces at him. Danny is either giggling at or frowning quizzically at him.

Patrick grins up at Annie and Shelagh when they come in. "Have fun?"

"It was lots of fun Daddy!" Teddy says running to him, his coat thrown to the floor by the door.

"Ted, go back and hang your coat properly please." Shelagh tells him.

"Go on," Patrick adds, and hides a smile when Teddy trudges grudgingly back to hang up his coat.

"Thank you, Ted," Shelagh says with a smile and ruffles his hair when he comes back. He harrumphs a little bit but laughs when Shelagh tickles his sides.

"You said it was fun?" Patrick prompts when Shelagh's finished tickling him.

"Uh huh! Lots of people gave us biscuits!"

Angie had hung up her coat as soon as they came inside and was in the kitchen helping Annie make some hot chocolate.

"They weren't as good as Mummy's though!" She shouts from the kitchen.

Patrick grins. "Biscuits are never as good as Mummy's."

When Annie and Angie bring in the hot chocolate, Annie sits on the sofa behind Tim. And Tim scootches back to lean against her legs.

"Did you have fun?" He asks, tipping his head back to look at her.

She ruffles his hair affectionately. "I did. I even got a few biscuits. Did you have a nice time here?"

Tim nods but keeps his head leaned back against her legs. Her playing with his hair sometimes just renders him a bit useless. Patrick meets Shelagh's eyes and she has a SEE!!! Expression.

He rolls his eyes at her, but he's grinning too. They're being absolutely adorable and Shelagh just wants them to finally admit that they've fallen in love.

Patrick and Shelagh both know that they would be so happy together. They're already all but together. Living together and raising Daniel. And Annie has confided in her that they frequently share the bed.Annie is so nervous when she admits it. What Shelagh will think, will think of her. For "leading Tim on" as much as anything.

Annie's convinced herself that it's just convenient. Because he gets up when the baby cries at night anyway. And Danny really likes falling asleep on his chest. Convenient, and just evidence of how nice he is and deserves someone who can really love him, because he'll stay if she's upset or lonely or cuddling him and falls asleep. Although she's slowly coming around to the idea she can love him.

When it's time to head to Nonnatus Angie demands to put on her new dress that Annie made her.

"What happened to asking nicely?" Shelagh asks mildly, watching Angela with her little hands on her hips.

"Mummy, may I please wear my new dress?" Angie asks, only a little huff in her voice.

Angela runs upstairs to get changed and Shelagh follows her

Tim helps Annie clean up the hot chocolate mugs while Angie is getting ready to leave.

Patrick asks if they need help with anything, and Annie tells him they brought Danny a little outfit for Christmas dinner and Patrick offers to get him changed.

"The outfit is in the baby bag." Annie tells him.

Patrick goes to find the outfit and then scoops Danny up to get him changed. He loves doing things for his grandson.

Tim goes into the living room to make sure nothing else needs to be cleaned up and when he goes to tell Annie that everything is picked up, they bump into each other in the doorway. It's then that they notice the mistletoe hanging above them.

Annie blushes slightly pink. "Oops."

They shuffle about a little bit, both with their heads down. Annie leans up on her tip toes and gives him a quick peck on the cheek, ducking her head back down as soon as she's done it. Shelagh comes down the stairs following Angela just in time to see it. And she has to put her hand over her mouth to stop from groaning.

Tim takes Angela's appearance as an excuse to step away from under the mistletoe. He's a bit pink. Annie has to lean against the door frame for a minute. Her heart is beating faster than she'd like it to be.

"Very smart, Ang." Tim says walking over to his little sister.

Angie grins at Tim before running over and giving Annie a big hug. "Thank you Annie, I really really like it!"

Annie hugs her back. "You're welcome! You look perfect."

Angie gives them a twirl and Annie laughs, even though her insides are still squirming.

Patrick comes down carrying a very dapper looking little Daniel and followed by an equally dapper looking Teddy.

He glances between Annie and Tim and then at Shelagh and turns his attention to Angela. "Your dress looks very lovely, Angie."

Angie gives a twirl for Patrick too and everyone laughs when Teddy does the same.

"What a handsomely dressed bunch we make." Shelagh laughs.

Patrick gives her a spin too, which makes Shelagh roll her eyes at him. "Yes yes, and you. Are we all ready to go?"

She grabs coats off the hooks by the door to a chorus of yeses. Most loudly from Angie and Teddy. Even Danny made a happy noise. Shelagh makes sure everyone is in their coats and they have the present bags in the car already and the pies for dessert.

Everyone heads out to the car but Patrick puts his hand on Shelagh's arm to hold her back a moment.

"What did I walk in on?" He asks, voice low.

"I only caught the end," Shelagh says softly. "Angela disturbed them. They were caught under the mistletoe and she kissed his cheek."

"Your plan was so close to working." Patrick teases.

Shelagh swats at his arm. "I've got more up my sleeve than that.

"Are they hidden in Sister Julienne's sleeves, by any chance?"

"Not quite." She sticks her tongue out at him and heads out to the car.

Everyone piles into the car tightly. Teddy ends up on Tim's lap, Danny on Annie's, and Angela between them. Angela is trying to get out the car before Patrick has even turned the engine off.

As soon as she's able to, she starts to run a head up the stairs of Nonnatus.

"Angela, please don't run ahead." Shelagh calls out to her.

"But Mummy!" Angela protests. "I want to see Sister!"

"We all want to see her too. Or do you want her to think you forgot her Christmas present?"

Angie trudges back to Shelagh and takes her hand. "I don't want her to think that."

Teddy and Angie made salt dough ornaments of their own for Sister Julienne and the other Nonnatuns.

Shelagh squeezes her hand. "Then let's all go in together, hmm?"

Once inside though, Angela runs ahead again to go find Sister Julienne.

Shelagh lets her. Mostly because Angela's yell of "Sister Julienne!" can be heard probably on the moon.

Sister Julienne laughs and bends down to give Angela a hug. "Happy Christmas darling girl."

Angela hugs her tightly. "Merry Christmas, Sister!"

"Would you like to give Sister Julienne her gift?" Shelagh asks, coming up to them.

Shelagh gets their gifts out and hands them to them, so they can give them to Sister Julienne.

They both made her ornaments, Teddy's is a bit of a lumpy star, and Angie's is a cross.

Sister Julienne is suitably impressed with her presents and hangs them on the tree. The kids go around and give similar ornaments to the other nurses and nuns. Angie gets a few comments on her dress and proudly tells people that Annie made it.

And then Annie gets lots of comments/compliments that make her blush. Since working at Vi's she's gotten a number of customers who specifically ask for her. She's even brought in new business. Trixie gets dresses for her girls all the time.

Sister Julienne steals Danny for a cuddle. Danny laughs in delight when Sister Julienne takes him in her arms. He likes trying to grab her wimple.

"Well hello Daniel. And how is your Christmas?" Sister Julienne laughs when Danny's hands miss her wimple and land on her face.

He pats his hands against her face and giggles up a storm when she blows a little raspberry on his hand. And he reaches for her wimple again, babbling at her.  

Annie feels comfortable leaving Danny with Sister Julienne and goes off in search of Trixie. Her little boy will be safe and happy with her. Trixie is helping to watch over the children.

"Merry Christmas." Annie says hugging her back.

Trixie’s gift to her is a new baby bag. She knew that Annie had bought hers second hand.

"Oh Trixie, thank you, but this is too mu--" Annie tries telling her.

"Nonsense, I won't even hear it." Trixie stops her.

Annie clutches the bag. She hates feeling cheap. Working for Vi has helped, but she’s still far below the standard of living she’d grown up with.

She's got a small package for Trixie. There'd been a bolt of silk at the shop that she knew Trixie would adore, so she'd made her a scarf out of it. She gives Trixie her package in return. "Oh sweetie! It's absolutely gorgeous! And it even matches my coat." Trixie gives her another hug.

Annie stays chatting with Trixie until dinner is announced. She thinks she notices that Trixie puts her hand on her stomach a few times. And she's not scooping up Teddy like she normally does.

Just enough to make Annie suspect. She's actually quite good at hiding it.

When dinner is announced, Sister Julienne brings Danny back over to Annie. Her little boy had been passed around to pretty much everyone there, but still under Sister Julienne's watchful eye.

Annie keeps Danny on her lap throughout dinner, not minding having to keep his hands out of her food. She knows he's going to be hungry soon for his own dinner, so she doesn't want to have hunt him down when he starts crying.

After the prayer is said, Trixie clears her throat and says that she has an announcement she'd like to make. She takes Christopher's hand under the table and gives it a squeeze.

Christopher squeezes her hand back and smiles at her. Across the table Shelagh takes Patrick;s hand under the table too.

"Christopher and I are going to be welcoming another little one into our family."

Trixie's smile is so bright, dimples on full display.

There's a beat of silence and then the room erupts

Sister Julienne gets up to the the first one to give both Trixie and Christopher a hug

"Oh, congratulations, my dear."

"Thank you, Sister." Trixie replies, hugging her back.

After congratulations and hugs are given everyone sits back down to enjoy the meal.

Christopher let's everyone know that they're still waiting a few weeks to tell the girls, but so far the pregnancy seems to be going smoothly.

"You knew didn't you?" Patrick's asks in a low whisper, leaning over to Shelagh.

Shelagh smiles and kisses his cheek."She told me when she got the result, but it was their news to share."

Patrick squeezes her hand and turns his attention back to the conversation at the table.

Shelagh returns to the conversation too.

Lunch is the usual polite chaos, everyone talking together and laughing together

Talking over each other to be heard.

Small conversations happening at the same time that a larger one happening with the table as a whole.

The kids table being checked on from time to time.

Teddy has mash potato in his hair and Angela has acquired one of the nurses aprons to protect her new dress. But they're getting on fine really. Alexandra is with them this year for the holiday, and she's making sure little Allie doesn't get too messy and that most of her food is actually being eaten and not played with.

And helping to keep the others at the table in line

As she's the oldest at the table, at ten.

The youngest is Allie at 3. Barbara and Tom have a toddler but he's sitting at the grown ups table because he's still little.

Angela definitely thinks Alexandra is So Cool

Teddys a little grumpy he's the only boy.

He normally doesn't mind much, but he's a little put out

No-one has watched or read his comics

And Angela is bored by his bug stories - she's found MUCH bigger and betters ones in the garden

AND learned about them at school

It's after dinner that everyone is up and dancing. Danny is back to being passed around to everyone. He'd had his own dinner and was perfectly content.

A few people "dancing" with him, with his head on their shoulders and them just rocking/bopping to the music

Barbara and Tom are dancing

Trixie and Christopher

And Shelagh and Patrick

Shelagh peering around him at Annie and Tim

Tim and Annie are dancing too, mostly avoiding the slower songs though. And every time they get near the planted mistletoe Shelagh smacks at Patrick's arm.

Patrick winces every time and mock glares at he.

"He's gonna notice, you know," he murmurs into Shelagh's ear when he obligingly spins them so she can keep watching.

Tim has his arms around Annie's waist and hers are up around his neck. And they're under a sprig of mistletoe for a few minutes before Annie looks up and notices it. Shelagh presses her forehead against Patrick’s shoulder for a second to contain herself and then peers at them again.

Annie blushes and nods to the mistletoe. "Looks like we got caught."

This time Tim leans down to kiss Annie's cheek.

Shelagh lets a frustrated groan and presses her face into Patrick's chest.

Trixie and Christopher are dancing near them and Trixie hears her reaction. She turns and sees that Tim and Annie are just spinning away from mistletoe. Shelagh's ARGH sends Patrick into a fit of laughter, Patrick pats her back teasingly in comfort. Trixie raises an eyebrow at Patrick's laugh and Shelagh’s face.

Annie and Tim stop dancing when Barbara brings over a fussing Danny.

"Are you getting sleepy sweet boy?" Annie asks as Barbara hands her the little boy.

"I think so, I thought he was going to fall asleep a few times." Barbara tells her.

"He fights sleep whenever he can, doesn't like to miss anything." Tim smiles, as he reaches out and places his hand on Danny's back. Danny makes a few sleepy babbles at Tim's touch and rubs his face against Annie's shoulder.

Annie rubs his back. "Tim, is there a place we can sit so I can get him to sleep?"

Tim nods. "Just this way. Barbara, will you let Mum or Sister Julienne know where we've gone if they need us?"

"Of course." Barbara tells him.

Tim leads Annie to a small room that has a few chairs and sofa.

"There's so many rooms here that I'm not sure what they're used for, this is one of them. But it works out in our favor."

"Probably used to be a living room when the Order was bigger..." Annie says, smiling at Tim. She sits down on the sofa and gets Danny settled.

Tim sits down next to her. "They've only been here for a few years. The old Nonnatus house had to be demolished after a World War II bomb had to be detonated a few blocks over."

He tells her about the bomb scare, and about that being when he had polio.

And the wedding that didn't happen.Annie leans against him, Danny upright on her chest with his fist in his mouth.

Annie makes a soft noise. She knew about the polio but not the details. "I didn't know they had to postpone the wedding."

Tim stretches his arms and drapes one around Annie's shoulders and he turns a bit to place his hand on Danny's back.

"They postponed it for a few months. Mum's said it was much better that they did."

When Annie looks at him curiously, Tim smiles and rubs her shoulder. "She said it meant she got to know us better. And - she decided to get married in white. She wasn't going to, before."

Tim doesn't know the details of why, but as he's grown up he can guess some of them

"We spent a lot of time all together between Christmas and the wedding. Plus, Sister Julienne and the others got to come, too."

They sit in silence for a little bit, Annie doesn't really know what to say. Annie rests her head on Tim's shoulder as they both rub Danny's back. The little boy keeps trying to fight sleep but is failing. He does it all the time if something even vaguely interesting is happening, determined to stay awake. But he'll fall asleep eventually if they just sit quiet with him and rock him. Once he's asleep Tim goes in search of a Moses basket. He's sure there's one around somewhere.

He comes back with one after a while, there were various ones around from when some of the nurses had littles ones and would visit. Tim settles Danny into the basket and carries him back to where everyone else is. The music has gotten a little quieter and the main sitting room was quiet enough to have Danny in.  Annie follows them and sees a stray bit of mistletoe on the floor that must have fallen. She picks it up and sticks it into her pocket.

"I'm going to step outside for a moment, if that's alright." Annie tells him quietly.

"Everything alright?" He asks concerned.

She nods. "I'm fine. Just want a little fresh air."

Annie wraps her coat around herself and steps outside. She needs a moment to herself.

Nonnatus Christmas is a bit full on.She leans against the wall at the tops of the steps, looking up toward the sky. It's started to snow a little bit, just a few flurries. She's been out there for nearly ten minutes when Tim comes out to check on her. He comes to stand next to her and offers her a mug of hot chocolate. Annie smiles and takes the mug and warms her hands on it.

"Last Christmas, I was so scared. I didn't know if I was going to be a good enough mother, if I was strong enough. Everything was happening so fast." Annie focuses more on her mug than Tim.

Tim moves a little so their shoulders are pressed together, just sharing warmth and being close

Annie looks up at him, and smiles softly. "And this year, I can't imagine my life being any different."

He smiles back at her, his eyes crinkling a little, expression soft and warm, the light from the half open Nonnatus door spilling out over him.

"I'm glad."

Annie tilts her head a bit more towards him. "So am I."

She smiles at him shyly and slips a hand into her pocket and pulls out the sprig of mistletoe she swiped earlier. Lifting it up she meets his eyes.

Tim swallows. "Annie?" His voice is barely audible, but he wants to be sure.

She nods, if he hadn't been watching her so intently he might have missed it. Tim brings one hand up to touch his fingertips to her cheek and jaw. She tilts her head up a little more and nods again, twirling the mistletoe jokingly. Tim leans in to kiss her, just the softest of brushes against her lips.

Tim pulls back a little to see Annie smiling at him. She puts a hand on his chest, dropping the mistletoe in the process and bunches his sweater a little to pull him to her again. She presses her lips to his. Tim makes a soft noise, his hand fully cradling her cheek and jaw. The kiss stays soft, but they stay pressed together like that for a few moments. When they part Tim smiles down at her. Annie blushes and takes a sip of her hot chocolate. Tim brushes a hand along her shoulder, and Annie put her hot chocolate down to step closer to him. Tucking her head under his chin. Her heart is pounding, and with her head against him she can tell his is too .

"Put your arms around me, Tim," she murmurs softly.

Tim complies and wraps his arms around her and he rests his head on top of hers. They stay outside together for a little bit longer, under the cold becomes too much. When they turn to go back inside, Annie grabs hold of Tim's hand as they walk back in.

Patrick is the first one to spot them. He nudges Shelagh who turns around in time to see Tim put his arm around Annie's shoulder and Annie tuck in against him.

Shelagh gasps softly and puts her hands over her mouth.

Patrick chuckles and kisses the side of her head. "I knew they'd get there eventually." He whispers.

Shelagh elbows him lightly. "So did I."

Tim looks up, makes eye contact with his father, and blushes bright. Patrick nods at him, grinning. He's honestly happy for them. Annie looks up too and blushes. She looks sheepish and shy, but doesn't move away from Tim. And Shelagh is just beaming. The night winds down and after rounds of hugs and final Christmas wishes the Turners make their way home. Annie and Tim had mostly been the way they always are, if with a few more blushes and hand holding.

At the house Annie helps Shelagh get the kids into bed. The little ones are too tired even to beg for stories. It’s just a case of taking their shoes/clothes off and dropping them into bed

Annie is a little nervous about being alone with Shelagh.  

"Your mistletoe worked." Annie tells her, blushing.

Shelagh looks at her with a grin, giving her a quick hug around the shoulders. "I'm sure I don't know what you mean."

Annie laughs lightly.

Shelagh's grin softens into a smile. "I'm so happy for you, love."

"I am too." Annie says ducking her head a bit.

"I'm glad."

Annie gives Shelagh a hug before heading into Tim's room to get herself ready for bed.

Tim has the baby downstairs and had offered to get him changed.

Downstairs, Tim and Patrick are having a similar conversation. Tim tells him about the mistletoe.

It makes Patrick grin. "You'll have to thank your Mother."

Tim chuckles, "It wasn't exactly subtle."

"You mother claims it’s not our strong suit."

"I'd like to think I didn't inherit that from you, thanks."

Patrick jokingly glares at him.
