The Army Doctor's Christmas Baby - Plot & Excerpts
He lifted out a six-foot tree and shook it to spread the branches. "What about this one?" He grinned at her from beneath his woolly cap decorated in snowmen, a matching scarf wrapped around his neck. He looked as excited as a small boy in a toy shop. "Looks good to me." Kelly crouched beside the stroller next to the little girls and pointed at the tree. "What do you two think? Do you like this one?" Both babies stared at her blankly. "They don't understand what it's for," she said. "They will when we get it home and cover it in shiny, sparkly things they want to play with." Zoe yawned and Annabelle grunted, tugging impatiently on the safety straps holding her in the stroller. "They're bored. Let's buy some decorations quickly and get them home." Sean passed the tree off to a member of the garden center staff to take to the checkout, then they all traipsed inside the huge glass building full of potted plants and other gardening accessories. They headed to the section overflowing with glittering Christmas baubles, lights, and wreaths.
