Author's Note: Here's more Christmas fluff! I meant to write more about Christmas with the family, but thats not what came out! After this got over a 1,000 words, I decided I needed to cut it off. Thanks for the reads and reviews! Cold weather has me blah, but Ill try to update more often! I don't own GMW or the characters, just the workings of my strange brain.

Chapter 11

Shawn's POV

I can't believe its Christmas morning and I'm the only one awake. What happened to kids waking up early on Christmas morning?

I glance at the clock and realize we have less than an hour before we have to be at Cory's. Now the decision.. who do I anger and wake up first? My teenage daughter and her boyfriend, or my pregnant wife.

I think for a moment and make sure the coffee is going. I think my best bet is to wake up Josh and let him deal with Maya. Then I will go gently wake up Katie.

I knock on Maya's closed bedroom door before I enter. I trust them but yet I don't trust them. No one answers so I slowly open the door. Josh and Maya are asleep curled up together on top of the bed. I see Josh's iPad in the floor so I figure they fell asleep watching a movie. I put the iPad safely on the nightstand and nudge Josh awake.

"Josh. It's Shawn. Y'all have about 45 minutes before we have to be at Cory's." I shake him awake and make sure hes actually looking at me.

"Its your job to wake up sleeping beauty there beside you. Coffee is started. I don't know if shes wanting to wear pajamas to Cory's or what." I wait for Josh to answer me. I've learned that just because he is looking at me doesn't mean he is actually awake.

"I'm up. I'll go fix her a cup of coffee and maybe that will speed up the process." Josh swung his feet out of bed and slipped out from under Maya's arm.

Mission Accomplished... at least part 1.

I slip into our bedroom next. "Katie, honey. Its time to get up. We have about 30 minutes before we are supposed to be at Cory's. I don't want to be late, Topanga still scares the crap out of me when shes mad." I shake Katie awake and help her out of bed.

I hear my phone going off from the kitchen. Everyone is up and semi moving so I guess I need to see who that is.

I pick up my phone and glance at it to find a message from Cory. 'The boss says everyone is supposed to wear the new matching Christmas pajamas. She said you were supposed to open them last night.'

"Topanga has requested Christmas Pajamas today" I holler at Josh and Maya.

I go in the bedroom to find mine and change clothes. I lay Katie's out of the bed and stick my head in the bathroom. "Cory sent a message saying that Topanga said to wear our Pj's. Your new ones are laid out on the bed."

I grab my cup of coffee and go to tell the kids the new time. I knock on the door and yell "20 minutes!"

Josh comes out in his pajamas and laughs. "You mean Topanga ordered us to wear these. You and I both know she doesn't request anything."

We both sit in the living room and wait on the girls while we enjoy our coffee. After a few minutes, Maya comes in with wet hair streaming behind her, and a hairbrush in her hand.

"Here. Braids please. Coffee?" Maya plops down in the floor and hands Josh her hairbrush.

"On the table in front of you." Josh answers her as he starts brushing out her hair.

I laugh at the sight of Maya sipping her coffee with her eyes shut as Josh brushes and braids her hair.

"I don't know why you are laughing. You'll have a tiny Maya telling you what to do soon, and you will jump at her command." Josh points at me with the hairbrush.

"Never." I reply.

"Shawn! Come put my socks on! I can't reach my feet!" Katie calls from the bedroom.

"Yes, dear." I answer, getting out of my chair.

"What were you saying about Never?" Josh laughs.

"Just Shut up little brother." I grumble as I walk off.

"Josh is braiding Maya's hair." I tell Katie as I walk in our bedroom.

"And? He did her hair before they were even dating. He's done Riley's so much that he just started doing Maya's as well. Do you really think he would tell either of those girls no when they asked him to do something for them? Not a chance. Just think of it as practice for when he is being a good daddy to your future granddaughters." Katie put me in my place.

"I don't want to think of them having kids. They aren't old enough for that!" I protest.

"Darling, I know its hard to see them grow up, but in a few months, Maya will be the same age I was when she was born. At least you know when she does have kids, she will have a loving husband and the kids will have a father who will never walk out on them." Katie kissed my head as I was finishing her socks and slippers.

"By the way, could you brush my hair? Trying to brush the back of my head just wears me out these days. I'm as big as a house now, I can't believe we still have about two months to go before we meet our princess." Katie laughs as she hands me her hairbrush.

"10 minutes Dad!" Maya yells laughing.

"Start gathering up the presents to take and we will be out in a minute. Your sister is giving your mom a hard time this morning." I yell back.

"Stop yelling and communicate like a human being." Katie smacks me in the arm.

"You mean send a text message to someone in the other room?" I reply pointing at her.

"Hey, it works." Katie laughs as I help her up off the edge of the bed where she was sitting. "Just think, next year we will have an 18 year old and a 10 month old for Christmas morning."

"I don't know how I got so lucky." I replied with a smile.

"We grabbed the sack of presents and we are leaving without you!" Maya called from the other room.

"Okay. We will be there when we get there." I answered as I heard the door shut.

I can't wait to watch everyone open presents. Morgan is going to kill Josh and Maya for the baby ball pit that comes with 75 plastic balls that they bought Baby Elizabeth.
