Life was chaotic with the twins in addition to the elder two. Having to breastfeed Will every two to three hours, and pump enough for Lainey to eat since she only took to bottles, and have enough energy for Zola and Bailey when they came to visit just was exhausting. But whenever Arizona discharged me and Will on the 19th, I went home with him while Derek stayed with Lainey. It wasn't exactly what he wanted, but I didn't want her to be alone. Amelia and Leah were discharged on the 20th and came home to our house thankfully. It wasn't supposed to be like that but their highrise was under construction and Amelia felt very strongly about having Leah around all the paint, sawdust, and loud sounds in the halls and lobby. It worked out best this way since they were going to be spending Christmas with us anyways. Owen being at the house with us made Derek relax a little knowing we had someone to keep us safe, and someone to drive us if needed. We got to a good routine of me coming to the hospital with Will and the two big kids after breakfast then again before dinner to see Derek and to pump for Lainey. She was such a strong little one and her incision was healing perfectly. She got discharged during the early morning of the 23rd so we were all under the same roof for the first time. Zola really loved her new brother, sister, and cousin. She refused to leave mine or Amelia's side since we were always holding at least one of the babies. She'd always fetch the wipes and diapers as needed, always made sure the babies had a pacifier, and always made sure they were warm. Although the second one of them (or sometimes all three of them) would cry, she'd magically disappear.

Derek and Owen went out to do last minute Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve and took Bailey (Zola still refusing to leave our sides), leaving me, Zo, Amy, and the three babies at home.

"Zozo, are you excited for Santa to come tonight?"

"Oh yes! I hope he brings me lots of pretty princess dresses. Is he going to bring the babies gifts?"

I smiled sweetly at my young daughter. She was just too precious.

"I'm sure a couple things but they were just born so they don't need much."

"Is he going to bring you, Daddy, Auntie, and Uncle O gifts too?"

"We're all going to get something, I'm sure."

"Even baby Leah? 'Cause Auntie doesn't live here much anymore so how is Santa supposed to know to bring her gifts here?"

She was such a thinker. Nothing could go unnoticed with her.

"Well, we had to have Aunt Amy and Uncle Owen stay here with us because they don't have a fireplace in their apartment, so Santa wouldn't have a chimney to come down."

Her eyes lit up brightly as she got so excited.

"Well good thing they're here now! It's the babies' first Christmas! Santa cannot skip them!"

She got all rowdy and started bouncing all over the place which started to wake the sleeping babies.

"Zozo, you have to be quiet right now, okay? I know this is a very exciting time but I also know how much you hate when the babies cry."

"Yes, they hurt my ears. Can I go play in the playroom?"

"Sure thing babe. Remember Aunt Callie and Aunt Arizona are coming over with Sofia to go see Santa with us before dinner, so please don't make too big of a mess."

"I won't, I promise."

She ran up the stairs, so then it was just me, Amy, and the babies who were all now awake for their next feeding.

"I feel like we feed these babies nonstop. I had Will in the bed with me last night and I totally fell asleep after getting him latched. Not my safest situation but the sleep deprivation is coming in full swing."

"At least Derek is home now to help out."

"Yeah, but now Lainey is here too. At least she only uses bottles, so he can feed one while I feed the other. How has Leah been doing?"

"Better now. She just eats a lot, which is good. We need her gaining some weight anyways. She really loves Owen already. She's always so content when he is holding her which is good. I know how much it means to him."

"But she loves you too. She knows there is milk with you and plus she always sleeps on your chest."

"You're right. Are we crazy for trying to get all the kids out to see Santa tonight?"

"I think it was last minute but we've been so busy in the hospital with the babies, but I'm not going to be the mom that has her older kids miss out on things just because there are new babies. Plus it's Will, Lainey, and Leah's first Christmas. They need one of those cliché Santa pictures."

"Arizona and Callie really haven't taken Sofia to see Santa yet either?"

"Are you kidding? Arizona has spent the past week with us around the clock in the hospital, and Callie has kept Zola and Bailey from the 19th to now. 5 nights. And she didn't feel comfortable taking them alone. At least this way there is one adult for each kid. It works out this way."

Amelia started cracking up as she started nursing Leah.

"Do you ever have moments when you wonder how you got here? Like I was hurricane Amelia. Crazy junkie dancing on top of bars, sleeping with different guys all the time... Now here I am engaged and with a baby. I'm head of neuro and just all those things I never thought would happen."

"Hey, I was the slutty intern with abandonment issues. I never wanted to get married or have kids. Now look. I'm married, and I have four kids. I definitely have those moments but I couldn't imagine anything different. The family has completed me."

She just smiled and nodded. I got one of the bottles I had pumped out of the fridge and warmed it up so I could feed Lainey while nursing Will. Derek and Owen came through the door with arms full of bags, even having Bailey stumble in with more than he should be carrying.

"We're home!"

"And there are boobs everywhere."

Owen quickly looked away, blushing as he had seen my chest, then Derek followed after seeing Amelia's.

"Seriously? I could've lived my entire life without seeing my baby sister topless."

"Oh come on DerBear... We're all doctors. We see patients naked all the time."
Amelia seemed completely unphased, and found just as much humor in this as I did.

"Patients, not siblings. You guys don't have covers or anything?"

"It's our house Derek. Unless you want to eat your meals with a blanket on your head, I don't want to hear it. Now set all those bags down and come feed your daughter please. Zozo is upstairs in the playroom waiting on Calzona and Sofia to get here."

Owen still stood, highly uncomfortable with the situation.

"Babe come sit next to me so you can burp Leah and spend time with her so I can get ready to go in a bit. It's just boobs. I have them, Meredith has them, every female in the world has them. Plus we're family. It's not weird unless you and Derek make it weird."

He hesitated momentarily before setting his bags down, taking the few from Bailey so he could go play, then just as he came to sit, the doorbell rang. It was Callie and Arizona.

"Saved by the bell!"

He opened the front door as cheery as ever.

"Hi Sofia. Zo and Bailey are upstairs in the playroom if you want to join them."

She immediately ran upstairs as Callie and Arizona walked over to sit beside all of us on the couches.

"Okay, I've spent pretty much the past week with the older two, Aunt Callie needs some baby time with all these little ones."

"Hey! I'd like to hold one of them too! Now I'm not Doctor Robbins for them, I'm Aunt Zona."

Will was first to finish so I handed him to Callie with a burp cloth.

"Perfect timing! I can go get ready."

Much to the men's relief, my shirt was back on. I was quick to go to my room before I was called for anything else. Standing in front of the mirror, seeing the inviting bed behind me... Maybe I could just lay down for a minute before all the festivities start...

~Not sure how much longer I will be writing this particular story as I've run out of good storylines for this time period. However, I am open to ideas/suggestions of things to keep it going. Also let me know if you all would like a sequel. I could definitely make that happen. Leave me a review with your thoughts. Thanks for reading.~
