Granny and Ivy stood outside to see if they liked it or not.

Granny Anne : how do you guys like it ?
Charlie : there's only 3 beds.
Granny Anne : i know.
William : but there are 4 of us.
Granny Anne : Charlie isnt going to stay with you guys.
Charlie (*ask) : i'm not ?
Granny Anne : we are short on rooms so your going to stay with Ivy.
Ivy : but i only have one bed.
Granny Anne : he can sleep on the bed and you can sleep on the floor.
Ivy : i rather sleep in the living room Granny if thats the case.
Granny Anne : nobody is sleeping in the living room in my house.
Granny Anne : sleep in your own rooms. (*ask) got it ?
Ivy (*sighs & says) : fine.

William, Ben, and Jason settled in their room. Granny Anne, Ivy, and Charlie walked to Ivy's room. Ivy opened the door and went inside with Charlie behind her. Granny Anne stood by the door to see if Charlie was okay with it.

Granny Anne (*asks Charlie) : so how do you like it ?
Charlie : its very cozy. it feels like Christmas already.
Granny Anne : this is the only room that is style like this. Ivy came up with the idea.
Charlie : its like a loft.
Granny Anne : thats the idea of the room.
Granny Anne : if you needed anything, you know where to find me.
Charlie : thank you.

Granny Anne walked back downstairs to where everyone else was.

Ivy unpacked her things in her suitcase into her dresser. Charlie knew that Ivy was angry about sharing rooms so he talked to her while she was unpacking.

Charlie : Ivy. i know your mad about me sharing rooms with you, especially your room.
Charlie : the room where you grew up in.
Ivy : im not mad Charlie.
Charlie (*ask) : then what is it ?
Ivy : its just that i haven't been home for years.
Ivy : i just want this Christmas to be a good one.

Charlie walks towards Ivy and held her hands at the bottom to tell her......

Charlie : i know how important the holidays can be for you and i understand that.
Charlie : just take a deep breath and everything will be okay.

Ivy went in and hugged him tight with her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her back.

Ivy (*smiles & says) : thank you. i don't know what i would do without you Charlie.

Ivy lets go of the hug and says....

Ivy : you stay here and unpack. i'm going downstairs to see the others.
Charlie (*smiles & says) : alright.

Ivy turns around and walks downstairs closing the door behind her.
