End of November
All of the hard work paid off because Fitz won the presidency again. We were all so proud that he won on his own like he wanted to in the first place.
These past couple of months has been really tiring since I was getting closer to my due date. It felt like carrying a watermelon. Everyone has been very helpful but it still feels hard. I just can't wait to actually be a mom. I was excited though because this year is the first Christmas I have ever had at the white house with Fitz. I was so looking forward to that.
Christmas Eve
Karen and Gerry were old enough to know what happens on Christmas but Teddy was still a little boy so we all had to play along. I put him to bed around 9 and then came back to check on him around 10 because Fitz and I wrapped all the kids presents. When I opened the door he was still awake.
"Hey buddy, what are you still doing up? You know that if you are still awake Santa won't come to the house."
"I know, I just couldn't sleep. I'm gonna go to bed now."
"Ok" I kissed him on the head. "Goodnight"
"Night"
Christmas morning
The next morning Fitz and I were woken up to Karen and Gerry standing in the doorway while Teddy was on the bed shaking up to wake up.
"Wake up! Wake up! Santa came and there are so many presents!"
"I bet there is buddy." Fitz said.
Teddy hopped off the bed and Fitz and I got off and went to the living room in the residence. Teddy, Karen, and Gerry were all sitting around the tree so Fitz took a picture of how cut they looked. When we started opening presents Fitz and I sat on the couch to watch them.
When they were all done we went in the kitchen and cooked breakfast. Fitz made his famous blueberry pancakes which were delicious. When we were done the kids played with their present mostly the whole day.
Around 4 we had them go get changed for dinner. I helped Teddy get his outfit on. When I was done with Teddy I put him back in the living room with his toys. I went to go check on Karen and she had the prettiest dress I have ever seen on her.
"You look very pretty."
"Thanks Liv. I picked up fashion from you."
"Really? Well I do make sure I have good clothes."
Karen and I made our way back to the kitchen where Gerry and Fitz were. Fitz and I didn't really have any family to spend Christmas with so the only person that came to dinner was Mellie and her new boyfriend Chris. We've only known him for a little over a month but he seems like a nice guy and he makes her happy which is rare for her.
When we were all at the table I started the conversation. "So Mellie, how have you been?"
"Good, Chris and I have been seeing each other a lot more and I found a house in North Carolina after Thanksgiving."
"That's great. I like seeing you…. Oh my god." Everyone could see the expression on my face. Fitz was sitting next to me and grabbed my arm.
"Liv what is it?"
"Call Tom, My water just broke."
Christmas baby or have her wait it out and have it on the 26th? hmmmm what do you guys want? I love your feedback.
Until next chapter...
