A Firehouse Christmas Page #5

Sadie!

Are you ok?

It was so cool, daddy.

I wish you were here

to see it.

James has got to be mad.

Do you want to come watch

mom talk on TV?

Yeah, Tom.

Why don't you go join in

with Mary?

Sadie...

I know, give you a minute.

More secret meetings.

Hey.

Jenny, what is going on

with you?

Come on, Tom.

Surely you saw the interview.

Ok, I don't have a TV

and she would be the last thing

I'd watch if I did.

Ok. Well let me fill you in.

Her Christmas wish is for you

two to rekindle your true love.

Jenny.

Look, if pretending there's

stuff going on helps her

sell a few books and gives

Sadie a nicer Christmas,

who cares?

I care.

Come on.

Haven't you noticed?

Mary wears two faces.

Hi, Tom.

Hi, Mary.

Excuse me.

Eggnog with bourbon.

Your favourite.

Do you want a glass?

I heard you were making

things up on national TV.

Come home where you belong.

I have a home.

I belong there.

Thank you.

So sad.

Bad dad.

No presents from you for

Sadie under the tree this year.

By the way, you're too old

for chutes and ladders.

No, don't!

She's a national hero.

Come on.

What now?

Don't ever bring this thing

in here again.

It's banned.

You gotta be kidding me.

Tom.

What?

Can you take Sadie

for a couple hours?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, did you know about this?

My jersey!

I've been looking everywhere

for that!

Thanks.

Dad, I'm hungry.

Can we eat?

Sure, sweetie.

How about Joe's?

And can Jenny come, too?

Um...

Please?

Sure, why not?

Yes!

Joe's?

Yeah.

I'll just tell Parker.

Ok.

Come on, kiddo.

You ok?

Yeah.

Someone you know?

No.

We're done here.

Ok.

I'll be on the radio.

Ok.

No, I know.

I know.

But... she's threatening

to keep her.

You've got a stringer.

Cut it.

Cut it!

Cut it!

We're in a restaurant.

Ok, you know what?

I'll talk to you later.

Ok.

Who was that?

Um... a friend.

Daddy, can I please go play

in the jungle balls?

Please?

Sure. Why not?

She knows.

What?

That that was your lawyer.

You think?

Yeah, she's a kid,

not deaf.

Look, Mary filed

for full custody.

She won't get it.

You're very sure about things.

Look, a family is whatever

you make it.

As long as there's love

there's no reason for the judge

to take her from you.

You are an amazing father,

Tom.

Thank you.

Of course.

I mean it.

You're right.

The spaghetti is amazing.

Jenny! Come in!

I don't know, honey.

Come on, you're a firefighter!

You have to save me!

I'm drowning!

I'm drowning!

I think you have to save her.

Alrighty then.

I'm coming!

Sorry. Sorry.

Here I come!

Wooo!

Daddy, come in!

Yeah, come on, daddy!

Ok.

Aaaaaargh!

Last chance, Tom.

Yeah.

Are you really gonna

do this?

You know, if you play along,
