A Very Chandler Christmas(JR and Colby)

[Marissa Tasker]

This was the time of year that Marissa loved, every since she was a little girl, she would always wake up early and rush downstairs so that she was the first to see the presents under the tree. And she knew that AJ was probably already up and had probably already woken his daddy up not knowing that his father needs all the rest he can get. She hopped that with her being at the chandler mansion that she could make Christmas absolutly perfect for JR and AJ

Having arrived about a hour early Marissa steps out of her car dressed in a knee length burgandy velvet dress with long sleeves, a pair of knee length black boots, and her long brunette hair spills down her back and over her shoulders in curls and her makeup is done to perfection. She is bundled up in her fur lined black jacket to keep her warm, and a pair of black driving gloves are on her hands.

Marissa opens up her trunk and looks at the presents, some of them had already been brought over thanks to Dixie. But she still had some that she decided to bring on her own. After being told that Colby would be here as well. Marissa went out shopping and picked up a few things at Bath and Body works for Colby not really knowing what the younger Chandler would like.

After gathering the packages and gift bags up in her hands, Marissa closes the trunk and sets her alarm on her key chain. Before she carefully makes her way up the steps which lead to the front walk that will lead her to the front porch of the Chandler home. Since it had snowed the night before and even dropped down some ice. Marissa is careful so as not to fall as she once again makes her way up the steps onto the Chandler Mansion.

Before she can even raise her hand to knock the door flies open and a very energetic AJ is standing there, a huge smile gracing his lips. Marissa giggles abit as she looks at him before he begins to speak which makes her smile.

"Aunt MARISSA!!! Come on in Daddy is upstairs getting his shower and he should be down soon. Woah look you have more PRESENTS!!! The tree is so full and most of them are mind how cool is that"

Marissa gives him a smile and ruffles his hair for a moment before AJ quickly takes her hand and leads her into the warm home. He quickly closes the door as she begins to speak in a soft sweet voice with that smile gracing her lips.

"That really is awesome, and it seems like a certain someone was not only a good boy this year but he is extremly excited as well. *smiles* How about you take these for me and put them under the tree while I remove my coat."

AJ quickly reaches up for the presents and hangs onto them before he begins to speak giving her a smile.

"Sure Aunt Marissa"

Marissa gives him a smile and ruffles his hair once more as she begins to speak.

"Thanks hun"

With that said AJ quickly rushes off to put the packages under the tree. Marissa smiles abit as she unfastens her jacket and slips it free of her shoulders revealing the kind of low cut burgandy velvet dress. She hangs the jacket up before removing her gloves and placing them in the pocket. Not knowing that JR is making his way down the steps until she closes the closet door as he speaks.

[JR Chandler]

JR was in the shower when Marissa came so he hadn't heard the door. He knew she'd be over soon and was trying to hurry to get ready that morning. AJ had gotten up early, excited to see what Santa had gotten him, but JR had made him wait until Marissa came to open the rest of his gifts, those from JR, Adam and Colby. JR had a few gifts under the tree for Marissa as well, wanting to show her what she meant to him.

Stepping out of the shower and turning the water off, JR wrapped a towel around his waist before heading out of the bathroom. He passed by his son's room and peaked in not seeing him there but seeing AJ hadn't finished taking his own presents downstairs to put under the tree yet (AJ having wanted to have his own gifts to hand out this year as well). JR shook his head with a smirk before heading downstairs to tell his son before he forgot.

"AJ... don't forget your presents upstairs for Aunt Colby and Aunt....." JR said stopping halfway down the stairs as he saw Marissa was already there. "Marrissa...."

He looked down realizing he hadn't gotten dressed yet and held onto the towel. "Hi....sorry, I didn't hear you come in..."

[Marissa Tasker]

Hearing JR's voice Marissa looked up towards the steps and a slight blush creeps up on her cheeks when she sees him standing there in nothing more then a towel. Her eyes traced over his chest following the little droplets of water that slowly moved down over his smooth warm flesh. Before her eyes roam back up over his chest to meet his warm blue eyes. After hearing him say hi and that he didnt hear her come in, in the sexy voice of his his. Marissa's breath catches in the back of her throat, she continues to blush as she begins to speak in a soft voice.

"Umm hey JR... I'm sorry I know I'm kind of early, but I guess I still have that inner child that makes me all excited at Christmas time. I umm I didnt even get to knock on the door, AJ met me at the door and practically pulled me inside the moment he saw I had a few more presents. *nervous laugh*

Marissa allows her eyes to once again meet Jr's warm blue eyes it was like a moment suspended in time. Here he was standing on the steps in nothing more then a towel still wet from his shower. And here she was standing here blushing like a school girl that has a crush on the quarter back of the football team. She runs her tongue over her lips before she begins to speak in a soft voice.

"AJ actually just ran into living room with the rest of the presents I brought. I picked up something for your sister, I didnt want to leave her out or anything like that."

Yes it was true Marissa was rambling, seeing JR in nothing more then a towel had really fried her wires and made her take notice of him in other ways as well. She takes a deep breath and steps forward abit the heels of her boots clicking on the wooden boards of the house. While her burgandy velvet dress swirls around her calfs and clings to her body before she speaks.

"Umm JR you might want to get dressed, I'll be down here with AJ until you make your grand entrance."

Marissa gives him a small smile as she continues to stare up at him her eyes once in a while sneaking peaks down his strong muscular chest and over his abs all the way down to where the towel hung low on his firm muscular hips. Before her eyes traveled all the way back up too meet his blue ones.

[Colby Chandler]

Colby woke up, finally, she'd had late night the night before, and heard all the commotion downstairs. She yawned, stretched and pulled on her housecoat, before peeping out into the hall, and smiling at her nephew Little A. It was so nice to see a kid get so happy about Christmas. Not that she wasn't.. She was just blahhh, today.

"Jr, You put up the present I brought in late last night for Little A, right? I would have but I was sooooo sleepy when I came home. Finals drained me!"
When she asked Jr that, she smiled warmly, for she noticed Marissa, and after saying a friendly hello, she edged out of the room to get dressed quickly.

[JR Chandler]

JR could feel his face reddening with embarrassment as he realized he was now standing in front of Marissa in only a towel. Not exactly how he imagined it may be when she first saw him with this little on. He couldnt help but notice how beautiful Marissa looked in her burgundy dress. Though really she could make anything look beautiful in his eyes, it was her that held the beauty. "Marissa...you look great" He told her before thinking then heard her say he should get dressed.

"Right" He said pointing upstairs, "I'm gonna go put something on...but I wont be long, please make yourself at home" He told her before turning to head up the stairs nearly bumping into Colby on the way.

"Merry Christmas little sis" He told her, nodding as she asked about the present she got AJ. "Its under the tree, I made him wait to open it" He told her. "And I'm sure you killed your finals, at least you get a couple weeks break now" He told her before heading back up to his room to get dressed.

[Marissa Tasker]

"Thank you JR"

Marissa blushes when she says those words,needless to say she was still shocked even after JR had turned around and headed back upstairs. She didn't think it would be this soon that she would see his strong warm muscular chest or those sexy abs. Marissa takes a deep breath and and brushes a stray curl over her shoulder before she heads into the living room area where AJ is happily putting the presents under the tree. Marissa smiles abit as she begins to speak while making her way over to him.

"The tree is beautiful AJ, did you your daddy and your aunt Colby put the decorations on the tree."

AJ quickly looks up at her all smiles, which defintly makes Marissas heart swell with love for her nephew as he begins to speak.

"It is beautiful isn't it, aunt colby was busy with finals so me and daddy decorated the tree. And guess what Daddy told me that the angel is just as beautiful as you are, and he was right."

She gives him another smile before she takes a seat on the couch nearby. AJ instantly heads over and sets on her lap, she places a arm around his waist as she begins to speak in a soft voice.

"Oh he did huh are you sure you didn't hear that on a movie somewhere."

She giggles abit as the two of them continue to chat about the tree and JR. Both of them obviously awaiting JR and Colbys return down the steps while the smell of gingerbread fills the house making marissa smile.

[JR Chandler]

JR quickly made his way back to his room so that he could get dressed, still feeling a bit embarrassed at the way he greeted Marissa that morning. He had always been rather confident in his body and knew even now he looked better than most guys (having the Chandler confidence and all) but he also knew that by his own standards he wasn't looking as well as he had a year ago before the cancer struck. He had lost some weight and some definition to the muscles in his body. He was still lean, but felt like he looked sick, even if others didnt see it.

JR put on a pair of khaki pants and a deep red sweater over a dress shirt, with just the collar sticking out. He checked himself in the mirror quick before heading downstairs, not wanting to keep Marissa, or his son, waiting any longer.

He stopped at the bottom of the stairs, looking into the other room watching AJ and Marissa talking. They both had smiles on their faces and seemed so happy around each other. It was good to see them both that happy. He smiled himself just watching them and seeing their joy. He wished he could save this moment forever.

He gave them another moment before walking in. "Hope you two didnt start digging into the rest of the presents without me"

[Marissa Tasker]

Marissa looks over at JR and gives him a small smile, she brushes her hair from her face and allows her eyes to roam slowly over him taking in his apperance. He looked incredibly handsome and no one would ever guess unless they new that JR was sick. AJ soon slides off his lap and dashes off towards his daddy causing Jr to bend down and scoop him up in his arms. Marissa stands up and and begins to speak in a soft sweet voice.

"Now you know we wouldn't do that. *smiles* AJ is incredibly anxious though. He reminds me abit of myself when I was younger, I was always the first downstairs and i would have all the presents open before my parents could even get downstairs. They could never get angry at me because I always looked so cute setting in a mound of wrapping paper. Well atleast that's what they said"

Marissa laughs a little bit even making JR laugh, as AJ looks at his daddy with a big grin on his face as he begins to speak.

"Daddy can we open our present's now, Aunt Colby ran out a few minutes ago and left the presents here and told us to start with out her. Can we daddy! Huh! Daddy can we?"

Marissa makes her way over to JR and AJ, the moment she got close she could smell his cologne which kind of made her weak in the knees. She gently rubs AJ's back before she begins to speak while giving him a small smile.

"Hun why dont you run upstairs and get those presents that your dad was telling you about, and then if its ok with your daddy we will go ahead and get started. And we can just have breakfast afterwards, I dont think your daddy will mind hun."

A loud yippee is heard as AJ wiggles out of his dads arms and hits the ground running before he dashes on up the steps to rechieve the other presents. Marissa stands there looking up at JR, she blushes abit and gives him a small smile, before she reaches up and adjusts the collar of his shirt before she begins to speak in a soft sweet voice.

"You look very handsome JR... this color really suits you it brings out the color of your eyes. *smiles*

[JR Chandler]

"I dont doubt that at all" JR responded to Marissa's story explaining how her parents couldn't get angry with her because of how cute she looked. She was adorable even as a grown woman. But she was also incredibly sexy in that dress today. "My brother Jamie and I used to run into my mom and Tad's bedroom first thing in the morning and jump on the bed until they agreed to get up so we could open the presents. "

JR looked over at his son who asked if he could open the presents now, before Marissa suggested he go upstairs and get the other gifts. "Yeah, that sounds like a plan kiddo. Go grab the others and then we'll start okay. Lucretia's making a huge breakfast this morning, all our favorites" He told his son watching him run up the stairs.

JR turned his attention back to Marissa who complimented his outfit. "Thank you...you look really beautiful too" He told her. "I'm really glad you decided to join us for Christmas"

[Marissa Tasker]

A slight blush creeps up on Marissa's cheeks, everytime JR complimented her she always blushes. She finishes adjusting the collar on his shirt and gives him a small smile before she begins to speak in a soft voice while looking up to meet those sexy blue eyes that held her captivated everytime she looked into them.

"Thank you J.R. for the compliment... and thank you so much for inviting me to spend Christmas with you and A.J. it really means alot to me. And it seems like A.J is enjoying himself as well, he has you at home to spend time with and he also gets to spend time with his new aunt. Who could ask for a better way to spend christmas then with people you care about."

She gives him another smile and allows her eyes to roam slowly over him for a moment. Feeling almost like a flirty teenager when she looks up at him she is about to speak but AJ dashes down the steps and into the room as he begins to speak.

"I got the presents Daddy and did you see our stockings there all full with all kinds of goodies even the one I hung up for Marissa is full of all kinds of good stuff. You must of been on Santa's good list this year, just like I am. *laughs abit*"

That makes both JR and Marissa laugh abit as Marissa ruffles A.J.s hair making him laugh abit before he dashes off to put the presents under the tree as she looks back at JR and gives him another smile before she speaks.

"So do you feel like being a big kid again and take a seat on the floor to open all of your presents or do u think it will be safer to avoid A.J.s flying wrapping paper if we set on the couch."
