Chapter 14: Christmas Day
Annette woke up in her old bedroom wrapped in Mush's arms. She smiled & rubbed Mush's hand that was draped over her stomach. She could hear Alex screaming and running down the hall. She sat up & rubbed her eyes as Mush sat up in bed next to her.
"Merry Christmas." Mush said smiling at his wife. Annette smiled.
"Merry Christmas." Annette said happily as she sat up.
"Wanna go downstairs?" Mush asked getting out of bed.
"Sure." Annette said as Mush helped her up. They opened the door and looked over the banister to the foray below. Alex & Alan were running around in there pajamas; Mrs. Medina was in a long robe with her red hair up in a messy way. Mr. Medina was in his red satin pajamas with an M on the breast pocket for Milo. Mush was wearing an old pair of Mr. Medina's pajamas that were black. Annette was wearing a nightgown but grabbed a robe before coming into view of her family.
"Merry Christmas you two." Mrs. Medina said happily to the tired couple entering the room.
"Merry Christmas everyone." Annette said walking in the room. She sat on the couch next to her mother.
"Uncle Jeremiah come sit with me!" Alex called from his spot on the floor. Mush laughed.
"Why not!" Mush said sitting on the floor and pulling the child into his lap. Annette smiled and laughed at her husband. Alan & Alex ripped open there presents and quickly went off and played. The adults sat in the living room with a warm fire and there was wrapping paper everywhere!
"How's the baby?" Mrs. Medina asked.
"Fine. Sleeping." Annette laughed as she rubbed her stomach.
"Good." Mrs. Medina said happily.
"When's it due I never was told?" Mr. Medina asked looking at his wife. Mrs. Medina laughed.
"April Daddy." Annette replied. Mush rubbed her stomach a little. Annette smiled. "I'm hungry again." Annette said looking at Mush. Mush laughed; Annette had eaten twice last night and both times sent Mush to the kitchen to get the food!
"Alright, let's go get some food." Mush said standing up and helping Annette up.
"I was just like you when I was pregnant." Mrs. Medina said laughing.
"I could go for some food too." Mr. Medina said getting up too. They all headed into the kitchen.
