Show Me What I'm Looking For
Chapter 2
“I’m going to help papa and the boys decorate the house finally.” I said as Niall, Ellie, and I sat down for breakfast the next morning.
“I want to see papa Anderson.” Niall said before he took a sip of his orange juice.
“Then come along, but you should know he will want you to stay for dinner if you do.” I said winking at Niall because he LOVES my dad’s cooking.
“Fine with me short stuff. Will your bros be there?” He asked me.
“Which ones? The ones that live there or the ones that practically live there?” I asked with a hint of an eye roll.
“I guess both pairs.” He said.
“Yup. All the brothers, my sisters-in-law, and my nieces will be there. I usually bring Harry, but he’s busy wedding planning with Margo. Anne and Robin will be there though. Also this year Joey’s girlfriend is coming over to help.” I said and Ellie did her weird wiggly eyebrow thing at me.
“That’s adorable!” She said and I laughed just as my phone vibrated letting me know I had a text. I opened it and it was from none other than Harry.

It’s fine! Niall and Ellie are coming with me this year! Too bad you’re missing out on meeting Joey’s girlfriend. Have fun today XOXO
“I need a shower. Be ready by noon please?” I said and they nodded their heads. It’s 11:00 now so it gives them a complete hour to get dressed and ready to leave.
“Do we have to dress up for this?” Niall asked me since this is his first time going.
“TBH it doesn’t matter because you will be changing to go tree hunting with the guys anyways.” I said before heading up to now what was my room. When I came back down the stairs with my phone and purse it was 11:30 so I still had time. I sat down on the couch and went to the twitter app on my phone and began to type a tweet.
@Ellas_World: Can’t wait for a day full of the family and some of my friends <3
“20 minutes early! Look at us.” I heard Ellie say before hearing the sound of a high five and I laughed as they walked into the living room.
“So I’m assuming you guys are ready to go?”
“Let’s go.” Ellie said. When we got to my dad’s house I found all my brothers, both sisters-in-law, and my nieces all sitting on the couch with my dad.
“Aunt Liza!!” Abigail, my five year old niece, shouted as she ran into my legs.
“Hi there cutie.” I said picking her up and giving her a kiss.
“Daddy said that we are staying with pop pop tonight. Are you staying too?” She asked me.
“Do you want me to?” I asked her and she nodded her head vigorously.
“Then I guess I’m spending the night also.” I said setting her down and picking up my two year old niece, Pippa.
“Hey there little sis.” Vinny said standing up and giving me a hug.
“Hey there knuckle head.” I said sitting down on the ground with Pippa on my lap. Soon Anne and Robin joined the rest of us.
“Okay so I can get a head count for Christmas this year. Who is spending it here?” My dad asked.
“We are going to be at Demi’s parents’ house this year, but we are spending Christmas Eve here.” Eddy said as he played with Gail’s hair.
“Amber and I will be here.” Vinny said and I let out a cheer.
“I’ll be here.” I said smiling and everyone laughed.
“You’re single. Where would you go?” Joey asked and I flicked his arm.
“Does anybody know if Harry is coming?” My dad asked us.
“He is spending Christmas with Margo’s family, but they are coming over Christmas Eve.” I explained and my dad nodded his head. One Christmas Eve we have our fancy sit down dinner, and then on Christmas Day we stay in pajamas and have a kind of lazy day.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The boys are all out tree hunting right now and us girls are basically sitting around and drinking hot chocolate at this point since we only have the tree left to decorate.
“What do you think about the color choices Margo made?” Anne asked me with slight disgust on her face and I laughed, because that is pretty much how everyone, but Harry and Margo feel about the colors.
“I wouldn’t put Pink and Orange together for a wedding, but if Margo wants it we all know Harry is going to let her do whatever when it comes to the wedding as long as she is happy.” I said shrugging and they all agreed.
“Aunt Liza can I sleep with you tonight?” Gail asked me.
“Sure doll.” I said smiling at her before she turned back to playing with her little sister.
“At least you get a cute dress! The rest of us look eww!” Ellie said and I laughed.
“Benefits of being best woman I guess.” I said with a smirk and she stuck her tongue out at me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I will see you girls in the morning. Be good for Pop Pop and Aunt Liza.” Eddy said as he and Demi kissed their girls before leaving.
“I will daddy.” Gail said giving her dad a squeeze before Demi and Eddy switched children. I then took Pippa into my arms and she began to kiss me cheek and wrap her arms around my neck while Gail stood next to me watching her parents drive off.
“Okay then. Are you two spending the night?” My dad asked Niall and Ellie.
“I would love to, but I have a meeting with the boys and Ellie has rehearsal tomorrow. We’ll come back and get you tomorrow night my dear.” Niall said before kissing my cheek and giving me a half hug.
“Thanks Ni. Love you two.” I said giving Ellie a hug.
“Love you too!” Ellie said before they walked out the door. Anne and Robin were still here along with Annabelle, Joey’s girlfriend.
“Why don’t you go take a shower and change into your pajamas?” My dad asked Abigail.
“Okay.” She said before skipping up the stairs.
“Annabelle are you spending the night? If you do you’ll have to stay in Liza’s room with her and Abi.” My dad said.
“No Mr.Anderson. My brother should be here soon to pick me up, but thank you anyways.” She said smiling and he nodded his head.
“How long are you two going to be here?” I asked Anne and Robin.
“Until about midnight or later as usual.” They replied and I looked at the time. It was 9:30 now.
“Okay I’m going into dad’s room, since Abigail is in my room taking her shower, and give this cutie a bath and then put her to bed.” I said and everyone nodded their heads. Once the bath water was ready I put Pippa in and she began to splash around.
“Iza!” Pippa shouted as she splashed me wet and I laughed.
“What babes?” I asked her and she just giggled. About ten minutes later she was finally cleaned and in pajamas ready to go to bed. I walked back downstairs with her in my arms and when I got to the bottom I was greeted by Abigail, Anne, Robin, and my dad on the couches. I sat down next to my dad and rubbed Pippa’s back.
“I always thought you would be the one to marry Harry.” Anne said and I laughed.
“Welp looks like I’m not.” I said and she laughed.
“Sadly.” She said with a shrug.
