The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 165

3rd Person

Jane was kicking herself. She couldn’t believe she hadn’t foreseen this possibility. Of course the pups would ask Santa to reunite them with Ethan – Santa was supposed to be able to provide any gift you wanted, even ones parents didn’t approve.

She watched with bated breath as the tree farm Santa processed the children’s gift request, praying he wouldn’t make a promise she couldn’t keep. The last thing she needed was for this to be the year the pups found out the truth about Santa Claus. That would only add fuel to the fire. She could already see it playing out in her mind’s eye, tearful accusations of lies and tricks on top of everything else.

The Santa glanced at her for guidance, and she shook her head firmly. The pups were still gazing up at him in awe, waiting to see if he would make their dreams come true. “Ho now, that’s an awfully difficult thing for my elves to make in the workshop.” The man bluffed, Isn’t there something else you’ d like?

Some nice toys?”

“No.” Riley declared firmly. “We just want Mommy and Daddy to be together again”

I understand.” Santa Claus answers gently, “but there are some things even Santa can’t do.”

“Nuh-uh. ” Ryder insisted. “You can get around the whole world in one night, you have flying reindeer you’re magic! You can do anything!”

“Love is a different kind of magic, dear ones. ” He replies. I’m very sorry. But there must be something else you want for Christmas?”

The pups shook their heads, and the girls slipped off his la*p. Riley, Parker and Ryder returned to Jane’s side looking completely dejected, but Paisley stayed behind for a moment, whispering something into the old man’s ear too low for the others to overhear.

Santa nodded in reply and Paisley gradually rejoined her siblings.

What did you ask him, angel?” Jane asked, taking the pup’s hands and leading them away through the Snow.

“Nothing’portant.” Paisley replied cagily, exchanging meaningful glances with her siblings.

Later, after they’ d returned home and Jane was busy trying to situate the Christmas tree in its stand, the pups retreated to their room. “Okay, Paisley, what’s up?!” Riley asked excitedly, “what did you say to Santa?”
