Marissa stood in the bathroom, eyes narrowed at the mirror. The days before Christmas had blurred together thanks to Jensen keeping JJ, Marissa, and him busy. Now, on the day itself, Marissa was trying to chose between the green Christmas sweater that held the famous line Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal or a red one with penguins that held lights that actually lit up.

She was sure Jensen was probably just wearing a flannel and some nice jeans, and JJ probably was a little more dressed up than usual, but Marissa was letting her insecurities get the best of her. Maybe she should just steal one of Jensen's nicer shirts and call it a day, not be festive more than she needed to be.

However, she didn't get the chance to sneak into Jensen's closet, because the man walked into the bathroom a second later and gazed at her, standing in a pair of high waist skinny jeans and her bra. The man whistled lowly, walking forward and wrapping his arms around her from the back. "You know, as much as I appreciate the look, I don't think Jared, his family, my family, Danneel, and our other friends will quite enjoy it as much."

Marissa hit him in the arm, shaking her head before leaning back into him. She closed her eyes and just felt the warmth radiating off of him, letting it surround her and chase away as much of her terrible thoughts as it could. There was still the ones about whether or not his parents and siblings were going to like her, as well as the part that listened to her dad that Jensen thought she was immature and was still in love with Danneel.

"I can't pick a sweater," Marissa mumbled, closing her eyes as she felt Jensen place an affectionate kiss on the side of her face. He looked at them for a few moments, before he was grabbing one and helping Marissa slip into it, the girl opening her eyes when it was fully on. In the mirror, their reflections stared back at them, Marissa now wearing the green sweater, matching Jensen's eyes.

"Have to go with the classic," Jensen told her, before he was spinning her around and placing a kiss on her lips. He then grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the bathroom and down the stairs to where JJ was playing with some of the toys she had gotten that morning from her presents.

The three of them had been setting up and getting ready for everyone to come and celebrate with them. They had made an appearance at the Padalecki's house yesterday, Jensen and Jared collaborating to have them come to the other's dinner. The food they had slaved over was in Jensen's fancy over to keep warm, Marissa shifting her weight as she waited, not being able to sit down due to nerves.

She was nervous about how Jensen and Jared would like their gifts, whether Alan, Donna, Josh, and Mackenzie were going to like her, and if this whole thing was going to be a disaster. Jensen (and even JJ) had assured her that it wouldn't be, that everything would be fine, but the anxiety still gripped her spine and made her pace.

And she hated pacing.

When the doorbell ran, signaling the first guests arriving, she let Jensen answer it. Jared and Gen walked in, carrying some gifts, with Tom, Shep, and Odette rushing to play with JJ as soon as they spotted the girl. Jared was sent to put the gifts under the Christmas tree as Gen moved to give Jensen a hug, then wrapping Marissa in one. "It's nice to see you again, Mari."

"You too, Gen," Marissa smiled, squeezing the older woman. She then complimented Gen on what she was wearing, a tasteful blouse that hugged her figure and some dress pants. The doorbell rang again, Jensen going to answer it as Jared moved to Marissa, wrapping her in a tight hug that had the girl standing on her tiptoes to reciprocate.

"I love the sweater," Jared smiled at her. Marissa pursed her lips when they pulled back, reaching to grab the beanie off of his head.

"And I love your hair, so you're not getting this back until you leave," Marissa told him, Gen laughing and telling him a told you.

Danneel walked in next, looking amazing as per usual, huge grin on her face as she walked into the room. She gave Jared and Gen tight hugs, before stopping in front of Marissa and holding her arms open for her. Marissa smiled shyly, giving Danneel a tight hug before they both heard JJ shout in excitement over seeing her mom and rushing to get her own affection.

Marissa was then introduced formally to Jared's kids, as Jensen went to grab the door, his family flooding it after. Mackenzie and Josh gave Marissa a hug and an introduction. Donna gave her the tightest hug ever, with w Jensen has told us so much about you and the most motherly look over Marissa had ever experienced. Alan shook her hand, smiling at her as they introduced each other, Jensen coming and wrapping his arm around Marissa's waist so she wouldn't be tempted to run away.

When the rest of the guests arrived, they all made their way to the porch that Marissa, JJ, and Jensen had set up for the occasion. They had grabbed the food along the way, and as soon as they said Grace (thanks to Jensen) and Alan had carved the meat, everyone was digging in.

Marissa forgot her insecurities as the holiday spirit circled around them. She talked about hairdressing and shared funny stories and laughed and helped Danneel take care of JJ, who had demanded she sit beside both woman. Marissa listened tentatively to everyone, especially when they shared funny stories about Jensen and Jared and Mackenzie promised she would look through her phone for any embarrassing pictures of Jensen.

After supper, but before dessert, the decided to open gifts. They let the kids go first, every one of them excited about the new toy or clothing item they got, smiling widely as they showed it to everyone in the group. Jared presented his and Gen's gifts next, Marissa smiling widely at the earrings that Gen had picked out for her. They were absolutely gorgeous.

Danneel got her the prettiest dress that Marissa had ever seen, and in exchange Marissa had given Gen a purse that the two of them had talked about once while texting and Danneel a charm bracelet that was simple but she could fill up with whatever she wanted.

Then, it came to her given Jensen and Jared their gifts, and she got up gingerly, each holding the small, wrapped boxes that held simple bracelets with a small piece of metal connected by chains. On the small piece of metal, Marissa had gotten always keep fighting carved into it, to support Jared's campaign but also to support both of the men. She bit her lip after she handed Jensen his and taking a seat, watching nervously as the men opened their gifts.

A small gasp fell from both Gen and Danneel's mouths as they peered over at the gift. Jared blinked as he took out the simple bracelet, looking up at Jensen. The two of them shared a look, before suddenly Marissa was being wrapped up in a group hug that was squishing the breath out of her. She felt Jared press a kiss to her cheek, thanking her softly before he was disconnecting and getting Gen to help him put it on. Jensen followed up with placing a tender, sweet kiss on her mouth, before he was pulling her in tight and crushing her to his chest. Marissa relished in the warmth, before she was breaking away and helping Jensen put on his own bracelet.

Dessert came and went, Marissa and Jensen saying goodbye to everyone as they left. Most of them had leftover containers, Jensen glad that he wasn't going to have all that food to deal with. Hugs went around before everyone was putting on their coats, Jensen and Marissa standing together, waving goodbye. Danneel asked another time if it was okay to take JJ, which Jensen had affirmed because JJ needed to spend some time with her mother. JJ had given Marissa the tightest hug she could have gotten, before hugging Jensen in the same fashion then bounding after Danneel.

And that's when Marissa found herself on the kitchen counter, her clothes barely stripped off as Jensen fucked into her. She clutched onto his clothed back, panting, moaning, kissing the man as they moaned and declared their love together.

And it didn't seem to stop there. As soon as Jensen got her up the stairs after they fucked on the counter before cleaning up, she found herself pressed up against the shower wall, hot water soaking both her and Jensen.

James and Wilson were right, Jensen really did like shower sex.
