“Trust me,” she said. “You’re gonna love this.” Ericka was determined to continue talking to Leo even though he couldn’t hear a word she was saying. In a few months, if he got the surgery, he would be able to hear her, so she needed to keep talking to him. Shifting him slightly, she grabbed his infant seat and walked to the den. “We’re ready,” she said as she set Leo into his seat.
“All right, all right,” Treat said. “Let’s rock and roll.”
In a stunningly short amount of time, he put the tree up. Leo squirmed and sucked on his pacifier, but didn’t cry.
Treat plugged in the lights and Leo stopped squirming and sucking, gaping at the lights.
“He loves it,” Ericka said, delighted. “He loves the lights.”
Treat smiled and nodded. “Bet he’ll love it even more after we put on the ornaments.”
“Oh,” she said. “In the top of my closet in my bedroom. My sister gave them to me. I’ll get them.”
“No,” he said. “You stay here. I’ll get them.”
Ericka turned to Leo and cooed. “You like the lights, don’t you? Christmas is a wonderful time of love and hope, Leo,” she said to her sweet infant son. “Never ever forget that.”
Treat returned with the two boxes of ornaments and garland. “I hope you have some ornament hangers.”
‘I’m sure Valentina included them. We just need to find them,” she said, and opened the boxes. It took only a few seconds to locate the hangers. “Here they are.”
“Let’s get moving, then. Garland first,” he said as he began to spread the garland around the tree.
Ericka helped adjust the greenery. A half beat later, he grabbed a handful of hangers. Before she knew it, he hung five ornaments.
“Wait a minute,” she muttered and began to hang silver and red balls. “You seem quite experienced at this.”
“I was usually assigned the job of setting of the Christmas tree and decorating it,” he said.
“Did you set a speed record?” she asked, hanging more ornaments.
