Mercedes chuckled softly into Sam's chest. They were cuddling on their king sized bed. It'd been a long, exhausting day for the both of them. They had just put their only child, Henry to sleep and right after, they had wrapped his presents and put them under the Christmas tree.
"What's so funny, baby?" Sam asked.
"Nothing, I just really, really love my two boys," she replied and softly kissed his lips.
Soon after, they both fell asleep. The next morning, they woke up with a little boy jumping up and down and excitement and saying, "It's Christmas, It's Christmas! Can we open up my presents? PLEASE mommy and PLEASE daddy! I want to see what Santa brought me! It's Christmas!"
Mercedes yawned, smiled at Henry and said, "Okay, okay! Come on, Sam, let's go see what Santa brought Henry!"
Sam replied, "Sounds like fun! Let's go!"
Mercedes and Sam got out of bed and followed Henry down the stairs. Mercedes got her camera out and wanted to make sure she captured the looks of adoration on Henry's face. Then, she smiled at Sam, who was smiling at Henry and her smile grew bigger.
She busted out into laughter when Henry said, "Can I open my presents yet?!"
Sam and Mercedes both responded, "Yes!"
Henry was overjoyed and opened up his first present, which was a toy dinosaur. Then he opened up several more. There were coloring books, toys, crayons, a teddy bear and even a toy train. He really loved all of his presents. Mercedes snapped several pictures of him. Then, Henry began to play with the toys he had received from Santa Claus.
While Henry was playing, Sam asked, "Do you want to swap our gifts now?"
"Yes!" Mercedes responded, "But I want to go first!"
Mercedes then reached under the tree and handed Sam the present that she had bought for Sam. Sam opened it and tears almost came to his eyes. It was a golden eagle keychain that had his initials engraved into it.
After a few minutes, he said, "Thank you baby, it means a lot to me."
Then he went to go grab the present he had bought for Mercedes and handed it to her. She opened it. It was a car key. Mercedes mouth opened up in shock, to which he responded, "Come on, I've got something to show you outside. "
Mercedes grabbed a hold of Henry's hand and told him to come with her. Soon, they were outside and parked right in their driveway, was an Exotic Luxury Silver Sedan. Tears were sprinkling out of her eyes when she said, "Thank you baby, but you didn't have to do this."
"But I wanted to. You mean so much to me, Mercedes. You are the light of my life. And I know that sounds cliché, but I love you so much. You and Henry are my life. And I love you both more than anything else in the world. I knew how much you wanted a car like this, since you were a little girl. And when we first got married, we couldn't afford one, but now that I've saved up a lot of money from being a lawyer, I wanted to do something nice. I love you baby."
Mercedes kissed his lips as the tears were still rolling down her cheeks and said, "Henry, do you and daddy want to go for Mommy's first ride with her?"
To which they both responded, "Yes!"
"Mommy? Before we leave though, I made something for you and daddy. Can I give it to you now?"
"Of course, baby boy." Mercedes responded.
All three of them went into the house, as Henry ran up to his room and came back. "Mommy, Daddy, this is for you, " he said. Then, he handed them a card that said, "Merry Christmas mommy and daddy!" with a Christmas tree drawn on it.
"Thank you, sweet boy. It means a lot to me and your daddy."
"You're welcome, Mommy and Daddy." Henry replied and exclaimed, "Merry Christmas!"
Sam and Mercedes then picked him up and they each gave him a kiss on the cheek, and responded, "Merry Christmas buddy. We love you!"
It was then all three of them knew that it was going to be a great Christmas day.
