A/n- Okay I know it's been almost 3 MONTHS! Wow that's pretty bad! Okay so now I'm back and I promise to UD this story a little more frequently. Okay so on to the story!! PLEASE REVIEW!!
"Wyatt James!" The six year old turned around bright red.
"What?" He asked as he quickly stood up and backed away from the Christmas tree.
"You know what mommy and I told you about not touching the presents!" Nathan Scott said as he pulled his son onto his lap.
"I know but I was so excited, they were just calling my name!" Wyatt exclaimed, desperate to get out of trouble.
"You only have a few more hours, then it's off to bed, please stay out of the presents." Nathan said as he released his son.
"Okay dad!" He said as he zoomed off. Nathan sat back on the couch looking at the lit Christmas tree. Various presents from friends and family lined the bottom of the tree. He loved this time of year; he loved the sheer exciment that ran through his kids the entire month. He loved that Haley always got so excited about this holiday, decorating the house like crazy, singing Christmas songs 24/7.
"Hey Daddy." Nathan turned to see his oldest child walk into the room, already in her pajamas.
"Hey addy." The young girl was now eleven, growing up into a smart and beautiful young lady.
"Can you read me that Christmas book again?" She asked as she snuggled next to him. She was growing but she would never be too old to snuggle with her daddy.
"Sure, let's wait for your brothers and sister then we can read it, and get ready for bed." Nathan said moments later five year old, Micah Lucas Scott came running into the room, his blonde hair blue eyes wild with exciment.
"I'm ready daddy! Read! Read! Read!" He said as he climbed on top of the couch on the other side of Nathan.
"Hold on bud, we've got wait for the other two."
"And here we come." Haley said as she came in the room carrying a mug of hot chocolate, she was followed by the baby of the family, 3 year old Lila Kathryn. The little girl climbed onto her mom's lap as they all got ready for the story.
"Wyatt! Hurry up you're gonna miss the story!!" Lila yelled worried about her brothers' absence but her worries vanished as he came hopping in the room.
"I'm ready now!" He exclaimed as he joined the family on the couch. Nathan started to read 'The Grinch.' Which had become a Scott family tradition, once he was finished with the book he slowly set it on the coffee table only to see his four kids fast asleep all cuddled up with one another.
"Okay well let's get them up to bed." Nathan said to Haley who was smiling at him.
"No let's just enjoy this for a minute."
"What the silence? The fact that our kids are actually asleep and its not even 9:30?" Nathan asked as Haley just smiled.
"Ha-ha you're so funny, no let's just enjoy them I mean time has flown by so fast." Haley said as she scooted closer to Nathan. Their eyes glanced over at their oldest child, Addy; she was now long and lanky, she had outgrown Barbies and dolls, and traded it in for clothes and talking on the phone. She was still wise beyond her years, but outspoken and stubborn just like her dad.
"I guess we should take them to bed now." Haley said sighing. She really hated that her kids were growing so fast.
"Well we can take them one at a time." Nathan said trying to make Haley feel better.
"Okay." She said as she kissed him he stood up and picked up Addy as he carried her up to her bedroom. Haley said in the living room with the other kids, she looked at her oldest son who was fast asleep his legs dangling off the side of the couch. He was a wild kid, full of boyish energy and chaos. He was a funny kid but also a mischievous one. Haley smoothed out his hair as she kissed him softly.
"One down..." Nathan said jokingly as he came back into the room picking up Wyatt from his awkward position. Haley smiled as she picked up the scattered pillows and blankets. As she folded them back up she smiled at her youngest song, Micah. Haley remembers at how scared she was at having to kids in practically a year. She was even more worried when she found out that Micah was just as hyper and energetic, if not more, than his older brother. He had that spark in his eye from early on; he was about getting into mischief and a sweet smile to get him out of trouble.
"Two down…" Nathan said laughing as he came back into the room, picking up Micah. "Is it possible for him to be this quiet?" He said right before Micah opened his little eye.
"I'm not really sleeping daddy, I'm just faking." He said as Nathan laughed and tickled his belly.
"Well you should be asleep!" He said tickling him all the way up the stairs. Haley smiled at the little girl who had wakened from her sleep on the couch. Lila was the last Scott baby and that was for sure. The family was so complete.
"Come here baby, let's get you to bed." Haley said as she picked her up, and carried her to her bedroom. Lila was the sweetest little girl always ready to be held, but had a sassy streak and could throw a tantrum that would make her older siblings look like angels. Once Haley got her tucked into her bed, she rejoined Nathan on the couch.
"What is this our 13th Christmas together?" Nathan asked as he wrapped his arms around Haley.
"Something like that." She said as she finished off her hot chocolate.
"Which one has been your favorite?" He asked.
"Last year." Haley said thoughtfully. "Your mom was here; Micah and Wyatt stayed up all night and attacked your mom in the middle of the night with pillows because they thought she was Santa." Haley said laughing at the memory.
"My favorite was our first Christmas." Nathan said. "No kids, just the two of us, we spent the day trying to from new traditions but none of them worked because we were too occupied with something else." Nathan said smirking.
"Yeah and that something else got us all these kids." Haley said smirking back. As Nathan kissed her.
"I'm aware of that!" Nathan said as he kissed her one more time this time Haley gave in, she slowly wrapped her arms around her shoulder.
"We have to get these presents under the tree."
"Dang it." Nathan said as he kissed Haley one last time before getting up to play Santa.
