"Merry Christmas!" you and the girls exclaim.
Titan's Tower is decorated wall-to-wall on the inside of their main room, a large Christmas tree in the corner. Wrapping paper is strewn across the room, evidence of a happy morning.
As you haul the present over to the couch, Blackfire hugs her sister, and Flashfire hugs Beastboy and the others.
"Merry Christmas to you, too!" Cyborg replies. With the help of Starfire, he brings out the present they got for you and the girls.
"Time for opening!" Beastboy exclaims as he takes hold of a section of the present for them.
"Patience, Beastboy," Robin advises.
"Yes," Starfire says. "We must let our guests open up their present first."
You and Blackfire thank Starfire and Robin as Flashfire grabs hold of the item. It was rather big, you have no idea what it could be.
*Rip rip* Blackfire helps Flashfire remove the paper, and your eyes go wide at the sight of what it is.
"A crib?!"
"For the baby, when it is finally born," Starfire explains. "You have been trying, yes?"
"Yes, but..." Your legs feel a little weaker suddenly. Is Starfire aware of something you aren't?!
"Sister," Blackfire says with a chuckle. "I'm not expecting yet. I haven't even begun to show signs of it!"
You begin to blush as a conversation of "Tamaranian Pregnancy Symptoms" begins.
"Okay, enough, enough now!" you interject. "Clearly, we haven't succeeded, but... we will let you know when it starts."
"Now, open your present!" Flashfire exclaims, ready to see their reaction.
The Titans take an area each, and rip away the paper, revealing a multi-colored lizard statue.
"A statue of the Friendship lizard!!" Starfire exclaims.
"Oh yeah!" Beastboy recalls. "Like from that card game we played!"
"Exactly," you say. "We colored it in colors that reminded you of us."
"Red for Robin, white for Cyborg," Flashfire lists. "Dark Blue for Raven, green for Beastboy, and Orange-yellow for Sister Starfire!"
"Very... festive," Raven comments.
"We shall cherish it forever!" Starfire promises, re-enforcing her words with a big hug for you three.
Blackfire smiles as she and her sister put it by the Christmas tree.
"This is the best Earth holiday EVER!!" Flashfire exclaims.
You all shout in agreement, and continue the party.

Christmas Special, Part 4
"Wake up! Wake up! It's morning!"
Flashfire's exclamations wake you, as she wanted. You grumble as you sit up and find Blackfire's legs are hooked with yours. She looks so cute when she's asleep, a strand of hair over her face.
You give her thighs a playful squeeze.
"Wake up, Sleepy Princess. Christmas Morning!"
Blackfire squirms, but wakes up all the same.
"Carry me?" she asks in a soft voice.
You chuckle but do as she requests, and carry her in your arms out to the living room. Flashfire is already bouncing and giggling by the tree. You set Blackfire down on the couch, and fetch all the presents with her name on them. Flashfire finds hers, and that leaves the ones labeled for you.
You sit down next to Blackfire, and Flashfire sits in front of both of you. Feverishly, you all begin opening your presents!
*Tear tear tear* Flashfire rips open a small box from you.
*Gasp* She looks at it with wonder.
"A wireless radio! Now I can listen to dance music whenever I want!"
Flashfire gets up and hugs you tightly.
"Thank you brother!"
"You're welcome." Flashfire sits down as you open your present from her. "Wow... a 'laptop' computer! Thanks, Flashfire! Now we can communicate with the Titans with this. Maybe even Rabsy and Foxy, if we hook it up right to a satelite dish."
Blackfire opens her present from you and gasps just like Flashfire did.
"A beautiful necklace! With amethyst gems!"
"Because I know you love purple, and I know they'd go so well with your eyes."
Blackfire kisses you passionately before putting it on.
"Thank you thank you thank you!"
You all open up the second gifts, and again thank the person who gave it to you. From Blackfire, you got a video game console ("To give you something to do when we aren't trying to make children ;] "), and Flashfire got a pair of headphones ("Knowing that you'd get a radio, these will allow you to listen to it privately.") Flashfire got Blackfire a "Baby Book", for the recording of first moments that her future nephew would have, such as "first word" and "first time walking", with spots to write all the information down on when it happens.
"This is spectacular!" Flashfire exclaims as she puts her radio and headphones away. "Now, off to Titan's Tower for MORE presents!"
You and Blackfire agree, and after putting away the Baby Book and Laptop, and setting up the game console for later use, the three of you carry the Titans' gift together, and fly to California.

Christmas Special, Part 3
After several hours of painting and drying, the final touches are complete, and Blackfire begins wrapping it.
"I can't wait for Christmas Day," Flashfire says as she jumps around. "Seeing their faces will be so wonderful!"
"I know!" Blackfire says as she tapes down a flap of the shiny paper. "This will be a great present."
You assist Blackfire with the trickier parts of the wrapping, making sure the folds don't give the present's form.
"There, all done!"
It looks almost comical now, with certain limbs exaggerated, others hidden completely. You carefully store it away for the night as your stomach grumbles.
"Dinner time!"
A delicious feast is prepared, but you salivate more at the fact that tomorrow's will be even bigger. The three of you begin, passing bread around and slicing meats into sections.
Another hour later, the three of you have finished, your stomachs full and quiet. Blackfire and Flashfire put the leftovers away as you turn on the television. A Christmas special is on, and you settle in.
Blackfire and Flashfire sit down, Blackfire laying down and resting her head on your lap. Flashfire sits on the wheeled ottoman, and the three of you watch the special together.
"Oh, this is the story of Santa's origins!" Flashfire marvels. "This'll be great!"
The movie goes on, and the details of Santa Claus' legend are explained. He keeps track of everyone with the help of a wizard's magic snow ball, and makes the toys with the help of a family of "elves". Upon checking his list twice, he rides in a red sleigh pulled by eight magic reindeer that can fly.
"Such impressive magic," Blackfire says as she lifts her head. "No wonder he can cover the planet in only one night!"
The movie ends, and the three of you head off to bed. Snuggled together, you and Blackfire talk of the future, and how you'll celebrate Christmas with your children. Soon, you fall asleep, Blackfire in your arms, her breath on your neck so warm and comforting.

Christmas Special, Part 2
It is the Christmas Eve day, and Blackfire busily works in the kitchen creating the cookies for Santa Claus. She looks pretty cute with her oven mits on.
"Taste test!"
Blackfire brings out her second batch, and you and Flashfire hurry forward. Her first batch, plain sugar cookies, were good, and you hope this batch of chocolate chip cookies will be just as good.
You and Flashfire take a bite, and the chocolate chips melt easily into your mouths.
"Mmm! Delicious!"
"Thank you," Blackfire says with a smile as you give her a kiss congradulations.
"Oh, sorry, got some chocolate on your lips."
She licks it up and kisses you back.
"That's alright, it was delicious!"
"Okay, okay," Flashfire speaks up. "No kissing in front of me like this. We need to set some aside for Santa tonight, and remember to set out some milk as well."
"Do we even need to?" you question as you pick out the smallest cookies. "Raven said Santa isn't real, and she's smarter than Beastboy. And if he is, Beastboy said he's pretty big in the belly, he may be eating too many of these cookies each year."
"Beastboy doesn't need to be smart to know the truth," Flashfire counters, swapping out some small cookies for some medium-to-big cookies. "And so what if Santa is big? If it helps him get down the chimneys because of his weight, then he needs to be big."
"But Flashfire," Blackfire says, "Beastboy's physics were off. Santa may be big, but if he is too big, he'll get stuck no matter how heavy his mass is."
"Which is why he is magic and defies physics," Flashfire counters. "Now come on, we need to arrange our presents under our tree."
Flashfire fetches a couple of colorfully wrapped boxes, and brings them to the tree. You and Blackfire go into your room, and retrieve similar boxes from their hiding places. You both head back together, and put them under the tree. The one Blackfire got for you seems to be the biggest, but you can't ask what it is because you all agreed not to.
"I hope what Blackfire got you is really special," Flashfire says. "Otherwise it'll just be a big space-waster."
Flashfire giggles as Blackfire scowls.
"It won't waste space," she says. "And I know we said no hints, but I assure you, it will be fun to use."
"Fun for all or just fun for me and you?" you ask your naughty nymph of a wife.
"For all and for us," she says with a wink. "But we still have to wait until tomorrow to reveal what it is. Now come, we need to put final preparations on the gift for the Titans."
Blackfire leads you and Flashfire back to your room, and she takes out their present.
"I really hope Beastboy and the others like it," Flashfire says as she takes a hold of it.
"Don't worry, they'll love it for sure," you say as you take out the paint. "Now, let's begin."
"Taste test!"
Blackfire brings out her second batch, and you and Flashfire hurry forward. Her first batch, plain sugar cookies, were good, and you hope this batch of chocolate chip cookies will be just as good.
You and Flashfire take a bite, and the chocolate chips melt easily into your mouths.

Christmas Special, Part 1
"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the Way~"
Beastboy sings as he swings from palm tree to palm tree, nailing in strings of lights.
"This is gonna be great, guys! Your first Christmas ever, and you get to celebrate it with us!"
"I've heard about this 'Christmas' from the television," Flashfire says. "It is a time of good cheer, and peace on Earth, and the exchange of presents."
"That's the best part right there," Beastboy. "And I'm making sure you three get a great present!"
"Thank you," Blackfire says as Beastboy comes down from the trees. "We've got something special for you Titans, too."
"But it's a secret", you say as you help Cyborg set up a snowman. "No hints."
"Can you at least tell us if it is a Tamaranian present or not?" Raven asks as she and Starfire string lights on the house while flying. "No offense, but Starfire may be the only one who'd know how to use it if it is."
"Don't worry," Flashfire says, "you will all be able to figure out how it works."
Robin finishes inside with the Christmas tree and joins you outside.
"Well, whatever it is, we're happy to be getting it from friends."
"And family," Starfire adds. "Such a holiday is too great to spend without both!"
"Agreed," Blackfire cheers as she flies up to meet her sister in a hug. "But since Christmas is still a few days away, we need to know what to do on that day."
"Then first," Beastboy says, "you need to know what to do on the night before, a.k.a Christmas Eve!"
You, Flashfire, and Blackfire pay attention to the green human.
"Like what?"
"Well, you need to have stockings hung up so you can put things inside it as a surprise gift. Nothing much, candy will do. Second, have your presents for each other under the tree so you can find them again on Christmas morning. And finally, set out a plate of cookies and a glass of milk for Santa Claus, in case he's added you to his list this year."
"Beastboy, Santa isn't real," Raven says.
"Yes he is, and you know it!" Beastboy counters.
"C'mon, you two, don't argue," Robin says.
"Who is this 'Santa Claus'?" Flashfire asks. "And why are we leaving cookies and milk for him on Christmas Eve?"
"Because on Christmas Eve," Beastboy begins, "Santa Claus goes around the world delivering a present to each person who was good that year. And to those who were bad, he leaves a note telling them to be better behaved!"
"So he's like an authority on our behaviour?" Blackfire asks.
"Essentially."
"Beastboy," Starfire begins, "for my first Christmas, you told me it was a lump of coal that the Santa Claus leaves, not a note."
"That's because you said coal wasn't a punishment, it was free fuel for fire. And besides, he changed it this year, because coal isn't in the budget."
"Then I shall prepare our house for Santa Claus right away!" Flashfire declares. "I shall set up my stocking for stuffing candies in right away!"
Flashfire flies inside and grabs a spare stocking, nailing it to the wall by the television.
Beastboy sings as he swings from palm tree to palm tree, nailing in strings of lights.
"This is gonna be great, guys! Your first Christmas ever, and you get to celebrate it with us!"
"I've heard about this 'Christmas' from the television," Flashfire says. "It is a time of good cheer, and peace on Earth, and the exchange of presents."
