"You look beautiful" Sam told Jules as he watched her nurse both Nathan and Ava on their bed.
Jules blushed she loved when Sam complimented her but she really loved when the compliment came because of their babies.
Sam walked back to the bed and sat leaning against the headboard. He rubbed his sons head while he peacefully satisfied his hunger.
"I can't wait for tommorrow' Jules stated
"Me either, I promise it'll be a great day"
"I can't believe it'll be their first Christmas tommorrow, thank you for making today special just, us as a family"
...
Earlier in the day Sam made his family a big breakfast, he also made sure that the house was spotless so Jules wouldn't have to worry about picking up.
After breakfast Sam and Jules put both Ava and Nathan down for a nap. Sam took that opportunity to give Jules his gift for her.
Sam had ordered a special made necklace and ring for her.
Her necklace had three hearts that continued downward intertwined. In each heart was the inscription of their child's names followed with their birth date. Her ring was a simple cut with a diamond in the middle and two colored diamonds on the sides which represented their children's birth stones.
Jules reaction to her gift was priceless she had tears running down her face and she was speechless.
Jules gift to Sam was his own family dog tags that he could wear at all times. Jules knew how much she and their children meant to him. Sam even carried a picture of his family in one of his vest pockets for work.
Each tag had their kids nickname 'Monkey and 'lady bug' followed by their birthdate and with a small inscription "I love you daddy, and you love me too'.
Sam had cried when he first saw them, although he didn't want to think about it, If the day came when he wouldn't be able to come home to his family again he would go knowing his family was right there and that he loved his kids and they loved him right back.
The funny part was they both had agreed that if they did buy each other gifts they would not be baby related.
But neither sam and Jules would have it any other day.
The rest of the day was spent watching Christmas movies, drinking hot chocolate and they were able to enjoy a white Christmas for a short time since both Ava and Nathan didnt appreciate the coldness much even under big winter coats.
"I'm glad you enjoyed today, I wanted it to just be us since tommorrow we'll be at Ed and Sophie's, and you know when we get their these two will be kidnapped by our wonderful family" Sam stated light heartedly.
All Jules could do was laugh, she knew Sam was totally right. She could already imagine it.
As soon as they walk in Ed would be the first to grab Ava and Wordy would take Nathan, wordy loved Nathan he always wished he had had a boy.
Sam removed ava who had fallen asleep from Jules and laid her down on their bed with a baby pillow to support her.
A little under and hour later Sam and Jules fell asleep facing each other with both of their kids in between them waiting for the next morning to come and to celebrate Christmas with their family. Team One
When they arrives at the Lane household they were greeted by Sophie and Izzy. Everyone else had already arrived and like Sam suspected as soon as they walked in Ava and Nathan were removed from their arms by very anxious team one members.
Sophie cooked a delicious meal, being the cater of the family. They all enjoyed a wonderful meal and interacted with each other as a real and happy family.
Once it was time to open gifts Jules had to breast feed Nathan in front of everyone since she didn't want to miss a thing. Sam helped her with making sure her blanket helped conceal herself and Nathan.
All of the little kids got the most gifts. Izzy received a easy bake oven and a doll house set from both sam and Jules. All three of Wordys girls got a joined gift. A Wii with princess games.
Both nathan and ava received a lot of clothes, they were also given a toy ride-along car from Sarge. Spike had given all kids their own personal automatic piggy bank and a two hundred dollar deposit into each child's college fund.
The rest of their Christmas was spent lounging around and eventually everyone headed outside to the Lane's backyard and watched the fireworks that were coming from a local golf course. All the little ones were delighted and easily entertained but Ava hated the noise so she dug herself onto her moms arm.
When it came time to leave all of Wordys girls were asleep as well as Jules and sams kids. Everyone said their good byes and headed home delighted that they had shared a wonderful Christmas together in unity.
Sam and Jules walked into their house and went straight to their bedroom to put Ava and Nathan to sleep. Once they were done Sam ans Jules cuddled close together.
"I cant wait til their older and they understand everything" Sam whispered into Jules ear.
"Me too, thank you for everything" Jules responded as she turned around and kissed her husband.
Soon after their house was filled with silence as everyone in the Callaghan-Braddock household was peacefully sleeping.
