The day before Christmas Eve
Instead of watching movies all day, they had decided to pick out three movies, JJ had suggested that the boys make Christmas cards while the adults made dinner. JJ sat and helped the boys with their cards, neither of the babies moving much she was starting to worry more.
"Is everyone done with their cards?" Emily asked the boys.
"Yes" the boys replied.
"Okay, let's get them put up and then we are going to eat." She told them.
"Are we going to watch movies then?" Luke asked
"Yes, what should we watch first?" JJ asked
"Frosty please." Ross
"I think we can do that since you said please." JJ smiling at him.
Everyone came in the living area carrying plates of food, JJ wasn't hungry but new she had to eat, the boys were spread out on the floor.
"What movie are we watching first?" Sandy
"Ross asked that we watch Frosty first." JJ told her as Will handed her a plate.
"Good choice, Ross." Will sitting next to JJ.
Sandy turned on the movie then sat on the couch closest to JJ; she had been watching her daughter the last couple of days.
"Are we sure this is a good idea?" JJ whispered.
"Yes, we saved plenty of electric the last couple of days and this is something you two do with the boys." Dave told her.
"You need to eat something." Sandy whispered.
"Cher, your mom is right." Will whispered.
"I know but I am not really hungry, so I am going to take small bites." JJ looking at the boys.
Henry, Luke, Chris, Jason and Ross had moved closer were JJ was sitting. Emily, Beth and Penelope watched them too; all wondering what was going on.
"What are you guys doing?" JJ asked when Jason and Ross were almost sitting on her feet.
"Nothing, we want to sit by you." Chris
"Okay." JJ now confused.
After Frosty, they watched the Grinch Movie; the smaller boys fell asleep before the movie was over. Everyone went to bed after watching Polar Express.

Christmas Eve
The day had started out like most of their days since they had all been at Dave and Sandy's house. Emily had broken up a couple small fights between the boys, while Sandy and Beth made breakfast.
"JJ, are you joining us?" Emily asked as she walked back into the "bedroom".
"Can I ask you something?" JJ looking at her friend.
"Of course you can." Emily sitting next to her.
"I know that Brandon and Matthew were early but did you feel different before you had them." JJ asked.
"I was irritable as you know but I remembering feeling sick. Why?" Emily
"I don't have an appetite but I don't feel sick. I don't think I am irritable or any more than I was before but I have a feeling these two are coming soon." JJ
"Any contractions?" Emily asked.
"No but feel my stomach." JJ, she had noticed how hard her stomach had gotten.
"You may be very right. We are going to take care of you and them." Emily trying to reassure her.
"Thank you. I should go in there." JJ getting up.
"Come on Prego." Emily laughing.

After eating, JJ went to lay back down but couldn't get comfortable. She started making the beds that were around her, doing the best she could while sitting on another mattress. Once she was done she started picking up the boys dirty clothes putting them in one of the empty totes.
"What are you doing?" Will as he walked into the room.
"I am sitting. I couldn't get comfortable so I thought I would pick up what I could while sitting on the mattress." JJ explained
"And the beds being made." Will
"I sat on a mattress while I did it, which is why the look bad." She told him.
"Jen, you should be resting." He was starting to worry.
"I know and maybe now I can lay back down. I am restless and I don't know what to do about." She admitted.
"What the? Sorry, Will I didn't see you come in I was checking on her" Sandy as she looked around the room.
"It's okay apparently she's restless." Will looking at his mother-in-law.
"You are nesting and if this small mess was bugging you. I can't wait for the popcorn in a little bit." Sandy
"I am not nesting." JJ
"Sweetheart you are; it was killing you when Marc dropped his plate and then you come in here and start picking up. You are nesting." Sandy.
"I don't have an appetite at all, the babies are barely moving and my stomach is hard. I don't think they are going to wait much longer." She admitted crying.
Sandy shut the door quickly, so the boys couldn't see JJ.
"Mom, what are you doing?" JJ wiping her eyes.
"I don't want the boys to think something is wrong." Sandy as both she and Will sat on both on each side of JJ.
"Nathan and Isabella are not big enough and if something is wrong with either of them it's my fault." She told them.
"What? Jen nothing is your fault." Will
"They are in my body everything that I have done over the last seven months effects them, I should have stopped working." JJ told them.
"That's exactly why they are going to be okay. You have been taking care of them, Jen you can't control when they are going to be born but they are both going to be fine." Sandy
"Especially if they are both as stubborn as you." Will
"I am not sure I believe either of you but I know that I am being emotional." JJ
There was a small knock on the door.
"Come in" Will
"I wanted to make sure everything is okay." Dave as he came in the room.
"Yes, Jen is emotional and nesting." Sandy told him.
"Oh, Emily is going to start the popcorn. JJ are you coming back out." He asked.
"Yes I just need to calm down." She told him.
"Cara, even if I have to find a doctor crazy enough to fly or drive in this everything is going to be fine." Dave told her.

Morgan popped the popcorn, while JJ and Beth keep the boys busy and Emily, Sandy and Garcia started getting the candles for later and the string for the popcorn. Rossi, Will, Aaron, and Spencer were cooking dinner.
"How do we string the popcorn?" Chris asked.
"Uncle Morgan and Aunt Em are going to show you." Beth told him.
"Can we eat it?" Luke
"Only after you eat dinner." JJ
"What are we having?" Luke
"That's a good question. Your dad, grandpa and uncles are cooking." Beth told him.
"We are having Spaghetti." Hotch told them as he came to grab his drink.
"Grandpa's spaghetti is the best." Kris
"Yes, it is." JJ laughing
"It's almost ready and by the time we all get done the popcorn should be ready." Aaron told them.
"Should we light the candles before we string the popcorn?" Emily asked.
"Probably, then Spence can read the story after the boys are done." JJ
"If a full string of popcorn makes it all that tree it would surprise me" Emily
"Me too." Beth laughing
"Boys get ready to eat." Dave announced.
"Please go wash your hands." Sandy.
"Yes, nana." Henry.
