A/N P1:

This will have two points of view, so may take a while. Bear with me!!!

—————————-

Alaska's POV:

After we all sorted out our stockings and I and Scarlet put our presents in a bag to carry home later that night, We all gathered around in the front room. Glacier, Elsa, Scarlet and I managed to squeeze on the same couch. Lilly, Kate, Winter and Bruno on another. Dad, Arianna and Auntie Maria were sorting things out.

"Anyone want a drink?" Dad asked as we all settled down.

"Yes, please!" Said Glacier. "A can of Diet Coke."

"Same, please!" Elsa smiled.

"Me, too!" I chimed in.

dad laughed.

"What about you, Scarlet, dear?" He asked.

"The same," said Scarlet with a smile. "Please."

Dad nodded and walked out. Arianna did the rest of the orders. I felt nervous. Glacier might cry at Scarlet's present for her. I helped her wrap it and started crying myself. It was feeling real that I could die any time soon! I don't want to die!

"What's happening, then?" Winter asked. "Do we do the presents for one another, first?"

"We could do," said Auntie Maria, sitting down on a beanbag chair.

We all nodded in agreement. Even the younger three.

"Well, family presents it is!" Arianna said coming back in from getting the drinks.

We all got excited. But I caught Scarlet's eye. She looked nervous.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing," said Scarlet.

She nodded at my twin who had just opened her can of Diet Coke. I nodded and closed my mouth before I quizzzed her  any more. Dad gave me my drink. Then sat down on the floor near us. Arianna joined him near the fireplace.

"Okay," said Auntie Maria. "Let's hand each other our presents for one another."

Elsa got up first with her and Glacier's bags. Obviously Glacier asked her to help!

"Thank you, both!" I said as she handed me the presents. "Wow, they look big!"

Elsa grinned. "Wait until you open them, Wolfie!" She said.

I nodded and watched her move round. Then Scarlet walked round after Elsa sat back down.

"Wow," came Glacier's surprised voice. "This one is big!"

"Wait for the others to hand out their presents," giggled Scarlet.

Soon, we had presents from everyone. I had at least ten. Lilly was very generous with hers.

"Who starts?" I asked, hoping that Glacier was.

"Well, as you and Glacier are the eldest in the room, it's up to you both, Alaska Sweetie!" Said Auntie Maria.

"Glacier's a few minutes older than me," I pointed out.

"Okay," said Glacier. "I'll go first."

"Do Scarlet's one first, Glace," said Elsa, seeing the nervous look I and Scarlet shared. "Then Wolfie's one after Winter's opened her one."

Glacier nodded. Button and Shelby trotted in at that point from the kitchen. They sat down near the tree and stared at us humans. I could tell that Shelby was feeling overwhelmed. Her pink tongue hang out as she panted. Bless her.

"Hey, dogs!" Dad went over to them and gave both a pet on the head. "Want a treat?"

Button whimpered excitedly. But Shelby looked scared. The  poor husky was frightened.

"Come here, Shelby, girl!" Scarlet called.

The dog didn't move. She trembled.

"What's wrong with Shelby?" Lilly asked.

"Maybe she's finding this too much," said Glacier who was patiently waiting to open her present. "Button was the same last year!"

Shelby lay down, then relaxed as Dad cuddled her. He was whispering to her. Then he looked up.

"Okay, Glacier," he said. "Open it now!"

Glacier nodded and started to gently open her first present. I could see the paws of the red husky toy and held my breath. So did Scarlet.

"A husky teddy?" Glacier squealed.

It was so cute to see her so excited. I and Scarlet smiled at one another.

"It's a red colour, Glace!" Said Elsa describing it to her. "It looks like Wolfie whene she's in dog form."

"Oh, Glacie!" I said as I saw tears come out of her eyes, making them sticky. "It's okay!"

Elsa hugged her with her free arm. Her other one was holding her huge mountain of presents and Glacier's too!

Glacier's POV:

When I opened the present from Scarlet, I wasn't expecting a husky plushy. Especially one that looked like Alaska as a dog! Elsa put an arm round me as I broke down in tears. They were happy tears.

"I didn't want her to cry!" Scarlet sounded upset.

"No, I'm not upset," I sniffled. "I'm happy!"

Elsa handed me a tissue that was on the side where our drinks were. Then she handed me a smaller present. This must be Alaska's.

"Sorry, guys!" Said Elsa. "But I think Glacier should open the one from Alaska, too! It will make sense once it's opened."

"Are you sure?" Alaska asked. "I guess it would be okay!"

Scarlet hugged me.

"I'm glad you like it, Glace," she said, patting my shoulder. "I'll explain why I bought it when we are up in your room."

I nodded. "Thank you, Scar!"

Dad came over and hugged me.

"Are you okay, Darling?" He asked me. "Do you want to go up to calm down!"

I shook my head. I didn'#t want to miss the rest of the opening of the presents. But my dad knew that my anxiety and autism was bad!
