Christmas Morning

I felt something jump on my bed and tried to ignore it due to the fact that I was was extremely tired.

"Wake up, mommy! Wake up!" I heard someone screaming in my face. I opened my eyes to see my five year old daughter, Hope on my lap with a huge smile on her face. I turned to look at the clock that was sitting on her bedside table. It read 6 A.M. in the morning.

'How could a child be so energetic at this time in the morning', I thought.

"Hey sweetie, what are you doing up so early?" I asked, trying to keep my eyes open.

"IT'S CHRISTMAS MOMMY, GET UP! GET UP!" Hope screamed enthusiastically. Well that sure woke me up.

'Oh right, it's Christmas', I thought.

"We have to go see if Santa came mom." She said practically jumping up and down.

Klaus kept saying all year that we should tell her that Santa is not real, but I just smacked the back of his head and told him to shut up. I sat up and noticed that Hope was still in her Christmas pajamas that she insisted I buy her along with her pink bunny slippers. She grabbed my arm and yanked me out of bed.

"Hurry up mom!" She said. I swear she had a pretty impressive set of lugs for her age. Soon everyone in the house would be awake if not already.

"Be patient honey, I have to get changed first." She put on a frown and gave me a pouty lip. Yep, she is definitely Klaus's daughter.

"Go lie down in my bed while I get dressed, I will only take a few minutes." I told the very hyper child in front of me. She ran and jumped on my bed, getting under the covers with her very large teddy bear. I used my vamp speed and got dressed as fast as possible knowing that if I didn't Hope would be screaming bloody murder at me. Once I was dressed I went over to Hope and she insisted I carry her, so I carried her on my hip.

"We have to go wake up daddy!" To be honest it was always amusing watching Hope try to wake up Klaus on Christmas morning. So I carried her into his room and she ran and jumped on his bed. She started jumping up and down on top of him.

"Daddy wake up immediately!" She repeated over and over again, although her pronunciation of the word 'immediately' was a little off. He didn't budge though. I could hear from his heart beat that he was awake and was just messing with Hope. It was very entertaining. Soon she got frustrated and growled at Klaus. When she started giving up he opened his eyes and reached out to grab her. He started tickling her and she was laughing uncontrollably. I just stood there watching with a huge grin plastered on my face. She dragged him out of bed and towards the door but he kept protesting saying he needed to change first.

"NO TIME FOR THAT DADDY!" She demanded impatiently. He looked at me helplessly and I shrugged my shoulders.

"There's no time for that daddy!" I said mockingly. He glared at me and I just laughed. I went and grabbed Hope so Klaus could get dressed. A few minutes later he came out of the bathroom and took Hope out of my arms.

"It took you long enough." Hope stated exasperated. We laughed at her and walked downstairs. When we got downstairs we saw Elijah and Rebekah already sitting on the couch in front of the tree with all the presents under it, no doubt they were all for Hope. I was surprised to see that they were already up.

"Well it was kinda hard to sleep with this one yelling throughout the compound demanding that everyone wake up." Rebekah stated pointing at Hope. Hope gave a huge smile.

"I was just doing my job." She said happily. The door of of the study opened and Marcel walked in saying merry Christmas. Hope wriggled in Klaus's arms and he let her down. She ran to Marcel and jumped in his arms. He laughed at her excitement.

"Uncle Marcel, look at all my presents." She said pointing to the wrapped presents under the tree.

"I see someones been a good girl this year." He sat her down and pulled out a box from his pocket, and bent down to Hope's level.

"Would you mind another gift?" He asked her already knowing the answer. I guarantee that the amount of toys she has is enough to fill a toy store. She grabbed the box and started shaking it trying to figure out what it was.

"Mommy, Daddy, can I open my presents now?" She asked hopefully. Me and Klaus looked at each other and then we both nodded. She ran towards the tree and started unwrapping boxes left and right like her life depended it. Once she opened all her presents she looked around her like she didn't know what to do with her life.

"Is that it?" She said looking like someone just cut off the head of her teddy bear . Normally parents would be annoyed that their kid said that considering that she got over fifty presents. But when Hope said it, it was so cute and adorable we all just burst out laughing. Lucky for her she still had one present left. Me and Klaus walked out of the living room and went into one of the spare rooms.

"Do you think she will like her?" I asked Klaus as he grabbed the little tiny baby puppy that was sitting on the bed waiting to be delivered to her new owner. She had a little red ribbon on the top of her fluffy head.

"Of course she will, Hope has been asking for a dog all year." We smiled at each other and he handed me the puppy. I held her behind my back and we walked back into the study, where everyone was sitting and Hope was waiting for her last present. She had no clue we were getting her a dog and I knew she would definitely be surprised. I could tell by the look on everyone else's face that they could smell the tiny puppy and knew Hope would love it. Me and Klaus bent down to Hope's level.

"What is it, what is it?" She asked jumping down. I brought the puppy form behind my back and heard a loud scream. Hope was screaming from joy and we all had to cover our ears. She grabbed the puppy from my hands and set her in her lap.

"She's so cute." Hope hugged the new puppy and set her down coming to give me and Klaus a hug.

"I love you mom, love you dad." Then she ran back to her puppy and started playing with her.

"What are you going to name her?" Marcel asked.

"Princess!" Oh great, next we are going to be buying is a castle dog bed. Klaus put his arm around my waist and kissed my cheek.

"Told you she would love her." He said with a cocky grin.

"Whatever." I stated laughing.
