Being a single father was never easy, no matter the situation. Nonetheless, Alec always tried his best to make the Christmases you and Daisy spent with him as magical and exciting as possible.

This didn't always work, considering Alec couldn't cook very well and decorations weren't his strong suit either — but he tried. And that was all that mattered, right?

This Christmas you were at your dad's house, just like Daisy who had decided to join you. After all, she couldn't leave her sibling hanging. You were quite excited for this Christmas, as Alec had promised you that this would be the best one yet — and you could tell he had made an effort.

On Christmas morning you awoke to Alec slightly shaking your shoulder. “Wake up, love. It's Christmas.” He said softly, with an uncharacteristic smile as the light streamed in from your window, blinding you for a moment.
