Elle is Happy
Elle gave one final push, had there been any glass windows in the stable they would probably have smashed! It was dark outside and the stars were twinkling beautifully, you could even see the northern lights from the stable! But it was nothing compared to the sight of what was being handed to Elle by the medical elves.
'Congratulations, Santa. It's a boy.' Elle held the new born baby so she and Eldon could both see. People had joked that their baby would be born on the toy lines and set straight to work, but it turns out he was born in the workplace after all!
'I don't think we'll give him a job yet, shall we?' Elle quietly joked.
'No, I don't think so.' Eldon chuckled. 'Hello little fella!'
Rudolph came over to see the baby, it was one of the rare occasions in which he was genuinely smiling!
'Congratulations, you two.' he said calmly. 'So, what his name?'
'Rudolph, meet Nick Griggs Ellingham.' Rudolph had never met a baby elf before, he was most intrigued by the sight. It's probably what was making him smile so genuinely like he rarely did.
'Another Nick in the North, huh? It's nice to meet you, Nick.' And Rudolph's nose glowed a little, making little Nick smile. Nick tried to reach out to grab the nose but Rudolph backed away a couple of steps, he didn't like his nose being touched.
'We finally have our own little Nick,' Elle spoke softly to Eldon. 'And guess what, Nick. One day you might be doing my thing, making everyone's Christmas!'
It had been a wild ride for Elle in her new job as Santa. She had overcome the difficulties of her job, the loss of her hero and brought a new Nick into the world. She started out as Elle Ellison the little helper and now she was Elle Ellingham, Santa and a mother. And in exactly six months' time, it would be Christmas day!
THE END
Thank you for reading this series, and huge thanks to those who also read the first series last year! Will there be a third and final run next year? Only time will tell!
