Chapter 1: A Christmas to Remember

"Mama! Mama! It's Christmas wake up!" Tiana rolled over and saw all of her children looking at her with excited eyes.

"Good morning my babies."

"Mama can we open our presents?"

"Timothy you know good and well it's Sunday and we have to go to church. Go on and get washed up for church and Lilly I'll help you get dressed." Timothy and David looked at Tiana was puppy dog eyes

"Mama please! Just one present." Tiana playfully rolled her eyes she could never resist when her sons gave her that face.

"I'm gonna get your Nana for teaching you two that face. Come on let's go see what Santa got y'all. I hope you were good this year." Timothy, David, and Lilly all ran downstairs to look at the presents.

Tiana got out of the bed and put her robe on. She then started to go downstairs she stopped when she saw a picture of Isaiah hanging on the wall. The only reason she kept the picture of him was because of the children.

"Mama! Come on we're waiting for you." Tiana made it downstairs to see her children sitting in front of the Christmas tree. Tiana walked over to the Christmas tree and gave each of her children their one Christmas present.

"Mama! I got a baseball ball and glove!?"

"Well you said you wanted to play."

"Thank you Mama!" Timothy hugged Tiana

"Why did you hug Mama, Santa got that for you." Tiana and Timothy looked at each other David and Lilly didn't know that there was no Santa Clause.

"Well I gave Santa Claus the money and he got it for me."

"Oh ok."

"Alright you guys go get washed up and I'll have some toast and eggs ready for you all. Go on we can't be late Mama has to sing in the choir today." Tiana looked down at her necklace that now had two rings, her engagement ring from Naveen and her wedding ring from Isaiah. She knows that she shouldn't keep his ring but there's something in her that made her keep the ring. Tiana was pulled out of her thoughts when the phone rang. Tiana walked over to the phone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Tiana it's Dot-Mae." Dot-Mae panted

"What's wrong Dottie you ok? Is it the baby?"

"The baby's coming Tiana and I'm alone I don't know what to do." Dot-Mae cried

"Calm down, calm down. When did you start having contractions?"

"Yesterday."

"Yesterday? Dorothy, why didn't you go to the hospital?

"I thought it was them Braxton Hicks things."

"Is Claude at work, he can take you the hospital."

"Tiana, Claude's out of town I'm scared."

"Dottie calm down I know your scared just hang in there. Call Rachel and I'll call Mama."

"Ok Tian…Ahhhhhhhh!"

"Just breathe Dot, ok calm steady breaths."

"Tiana I think I need to push I can feel the baby."

"Don't push Dot I'll be right there." Tiana hanged up the phone and ran upstairs to get dressed quickly.

"Timothy!" Timothy entered Tiana's room

"Yes ma'am?"

"I gotta go to Aunt Dottie's house she's about to have the baby. Stay here with your brother and sister, I want you to call your Nana and Pop-Pop and tell them to come over. Don't answer the door for anyone but your Nana and Pop-Pop. I'll be back."

"Yes ma'am."

"Ok see you later." Tiana briskly left the house

When Tiana got to Dot Mae's house she saw Rachel's car parked outside she ran inside the house and saw Dot Mae sitting on the couch and Rachel sitting on the floor in front of her.

"Tiana this baby is coming come here and help me." Tiana was quick to Dot-Mae's side an held her hand

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait I'm not pushin until my husband walks through that door. I already called him he's on his way."

"Dot-Mae we can't wait that long, this baby is coming whether you like it or not."

"Yes we can Rachel you see I'm not in any pa…aaaahhhhh!"

"Ok, we got to push now!"

"On your next contraction push as hard as you can." Dot-Mae nodded her head and grabbed Tiana's hand

"Push, Dottie."

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!"

"That was good keep pushing."

"This hurts so much." Dot-Mae fell back on the bed with tears in her eyes.

"I can't do this, I can't do it."

"Yes you can Dottie, just think about you and your baby. How long you and Claude have been waiting for this baby. You can do this Dottie." Tiana reassured

"Ok, I'm ready."

"Alright Dot you ready? Push!"

"Aaaaaaahhhh!" Dot-Mae felt this pressure release from her body and then heard her child crying

"It's a girl." Rachel smiled as she wiped off the crying baby's face.

"You have a daughter Dottie." Tiana smiled, Rachel handed the baby girl to Dot-Mae who smiled at her daughter.

"What you gonna name her?" Rachel asked

"I'm not gonna name her until Claude gets back."

"What? Dottie there's no telllin' when he'll get here."

"Well it's a good thing I'm here." The three sisters looked up and saw Clyde standing in the doorway

"Baby, you made it."

"Of course I told you I'll be home for Christmas." Tiana and Rachel watched as the new parents bonded with their baby.

"We have to give her a name."

"I know, I was thinking if it was a girl we could name her after your Mama…"

"Maureen, how about Maureen Eudora?"

"That's beautiful." Dot-Mae beamed.

"Well, I have to get going gotta start makin Christmas dinner. Please make sure y'all get that baby to the hospital."

"Ok Tia, thanks for all your help, especially you Rachel."

"No thanks to you for giving us an amazing Christmas gift." Tiana and Rachel said their goodbyes and were on their way home.

When Tiana made it home she frowned when she saw William sitting on her front porch.

"William, what you doing here? You're pretty early for dinner."

"I was concerned because my favorite singer wasn't in church today and also your son wouldn't let me in because I wasn't one of your parents." William smirked

"Well come on inside, you must be hungry." Tiana opened the door and saw her children playing with the one gift they opened earlier.

"Timothy why didn't you open the door for Mr. William?"

"You told me not to answer the door for anybody that wasn't Nana and Pop-Pop." Tiana sighed heavily

"You're right, you all get washed up for breakfast." Tiana then walked into the kitchen with William following close behind.

"You mind helping me with breakfast? My parents are coming over to eat too." Tiana said while getting the ingredients she needed

"You know Tiana there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Tiana said not really paying attention

"I've only known you for about five months and I think we've made a connection."

"Uh huh."

"It's been a long time since I've felt this way about someone, and Tiana you make me feel like there's nothing in the world that can stop us. I love you Tiana Jenkins and I guess I'm asking to you be my wife." Tiana froze and dropped the plate she was holding.

"You want me to be you're what?"
