Hope's First Christmas

SO. Um. Yeah.

This story is dedicated to MizzGinger, and a lot of what you might expect here is given in the not-very-imaginative title. I did want to make this into a rom-com of sorts, but even more than that, I wanted to do Hope Estheim's character justice. Because of that (and because I only discovered the FFXIII series within the past two months), I kept this story more purely romantic. But hey, if there are any funny parts in here, so much the better.

I'm so sorry that this is late, but I hope that you still like it, MizzGinger. Merry late Christmas, and happy holidays!
