Summary: The Bloom family's first Christmas without Sonia...takes place a few days before Christmas.
A/N: For
araestel who asked, for "How about.... Orlando has lost his mom and this is his first year without her." Cross posted on my fic journal vatulelefiction"So what time does your guys' flight get in on Sunday?"
"Two in the afternoon at Heathrow."
"You want us to come get you?"
"Nah, I've rented a car...we'll have Sidi and then there's the extra two suitcases of gifts...So it'll be better if we just drive down to you and Dad."
"...You okay Orli, how're you...holding up?"
"Yeah...I'm fine really Sam, I'm baking right now and we've already put the ornaments up and Sidi's got his Santa collar on, really I'm fine you don't have to worry about me, I wouldn't lie to you yeah?"
"It's just...I've been so worried about Dad these past few weeks, that I feel like I've forgotten about you...you know, all the way on the other side of the world I mean I should be looking after you Orli, I'm you big sister."
"No..don't, I'm fine, we're fine everything's..."
"Nothing seems right this year does it?"
"Fuck...no, you know I tried making her almond buiscuits with powdered sugar and they're not right, they taste not like Mum's...And then this morning when I was looking in the spare room for the box of extra ornaments, I found the rug I got her when I was in Argentina and I started thinking...shit I didn't wrap Mum's present only I don't have a Mum to give a present to this year."
"Oh Orli..."
"Everythings just so fucked this year...Christmastime was her favorite, she's supposed to be here! She's supposed to not let me burn anything and she's supposed to make cinnamon rolls Christmas morning, and we're supposed to get our mittens like we do every year, it's just not the same"
"Have you talked to Viggo about everything?"
"Yeah, we've talked quite a bit, but you know...he's only been getting the mittens for a few years now...he hadn't quite gotten emotionally attatched to the yearly tradition."
Orlando heard his sister let out a choked laugh.
"Orli, I'm so sorry but I've got to get off the phone now, the baby woke up and she's hungry."
"Don't worry about it Sam, give my beautiful baby niece a hug and a kiss for me okay? Love you both. Give my love to Dad?"
"Yeah...bye Orli..."
"Bye."

"Hey...Do you think Mum was ever sad that she wouldn't get any grandchildren from me?" Orlando asked Viggo as they laid on the couch together watching the fire crackling in the hearth the night before they were to fly to England for Christmas.
"What? What brought that thought into your head Angel?"
"...I don't know...I guess it happened when Mum found out Sam was going to have Emma, said she couldn't wait for more grandchildren...kind of made me feel like I couldn't deliver...no pun intended."
Viggo smiled and placed a kiss on Orlando's temple. "You were her baby boy Orlando, I think she was just greatful to have you live to adulthood without any permanent damage she couldn't have cared less whether she got grandchildren from you."
"...Yeah, you're right, I just hate thinking I may have dissapointed her..."
"Orlando," Viggo said, staring into his husbands deep brown eyes, "you could never dissapoint anyone, even if you tried. You're one of the most successful actors of your generation, you've been in two of the most loved trilogies of all time, and you've let none of that go to your head, you didn't let that stop you from admitting you loved a filty, old human like me and most importantly, you love and are loyal your family and friends like no other. The best thing about you Angel is that you're so amazing and you don't realize it."
Orlando smiled with tears in his eyes. "Thanks, I think I really needed to hear that."
"Two in the afternoon at Heathrow."
