"Mum? Dad?" Courtney, Leah and Jamie pushed open the door to their parents' bedroom on Christmas morning and looked in at their parents led in the double bed curled up next to each other. Pete opened his eyes slowly and looked at them tiredly.
"It's Christmas!" They grinned and walked further into the room.
"And it's way too early to wake us up." Pete said sleepily.
"No it's not." They sat on the bottom of the bed.
Pete sighed and looked at the clock on the nightstand. "It is."
"No." They shook their heads. Pete sighed and closed his eyes again. "Dad, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee." They begged.
"Can't you sleep a bit longer? It's really early."
"But we can't sleep."
Pete looked at them. "But we can't open the presents without your mum and she's still sleeping."
They sighed and looked at Addison.
"I'm sorry." Pete looked at them, hoping they would go back to sleep now for a while.
"But we can't sleep." They sighed and Leah lay down on the bed.
"Just try it." Pete curled up next to Addison again. They sighed again but didn't move from the bottom of the bed. Pete looked at them. "You're going to stay here now and wait until we get up?"
"Yep." They nodded.
"Okay." Pete sighed as Courtney settled herself next to her sister. Pete looked down at Addison and pecked her lips softly. "Wake up Addi." He whispered.
"Hmm?" She mumbled and snuggled closer to him.
"The kids want their presents and they're refusing to go back to sleep." He said quietly. Addison mumbled again and opened her eyes, blinking at the kids.
"It's Christmas mum." Leah smiled at her.
"I know sweetie, but can you please just let me and your dad sleep for another hour?"
"But we can't sleep." Jamie looked at them.
"Lie down for an hour."
"Fine." Leah sighed and got up from the bed looking at her siblings.
"I promise you we will get up in an hour, sweetie." Addison yawned at them.
"Okay." Courtney sighed as well and got up from the bed.
"Thank you." Addison gave them a tired smile. Leah, Courtney and Jamie looked at their parents before they walked out of the bedroom again. Addison yawned and curled up into Pete's side. Pete pulled her close and tried to sleep again. Addison was soon asleep again and the two of them slept for a while longer while the kids were waiting in their rooms.
-
An hour later and the kids bounced back into their parents' bedroom.
"It's been an hour now!" Jamie smiled as they walked in.
"Yeah, you said you'd get up." Leah jumped on the bed. Pete turned his head away from them, his eyes remaining closed.
"Daddddddddddddddddddd." Courtney whined and Pete sighed into his pillow.
"You promised." Leah looked at them. Pete opened his eyes and looked down at Addison. Addison sighed and opened her eyes.
Leah, Jamie and Courtney looked at their parents. "Please."
"Okay, okay, we're up." Addison sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. They grinned at her widely. She pulled the bed covers back and stood up, stretching and yawning as she did so. Pete sighed and sat up as well. Addison quickly brushed her hair and headed into the bathroom. Pete looked at the kids and got up from the bed. Addison returned a few minutes later and they made their way downstairs. Courtney, Leah and Jamie grinned widely and they walked into the living room.
Addison sat down on the couch and let Pete hand out the presents. The kids smiled and took their presents. Addison smiled and watched as they opened their presents. Pete sat down next to her and watched them as well.
"Do you like your presents?" Addison looked at them and snuggled up to Pete.
"Yes." The grinned widely. "Thank you."
"No problem." She smiled at them as they smiled and continued to unwrap presents. Addison leaned into Pete and just watched them, like she did every year. Pete smiled and wrapped his arm around her. She smiled up at him.
Pete smiled and pecked her lips. "Merry Christmas."
"Merry Christmas, babe." She kissed him back and Pete smiled at her.
Leah leaned under the tree and pulled out a box, walking towards her parents.
"We've got something for you." Courtney smiled at them.
"Really?" Addison smiled.
"Yes." They grinned and handed them the box.
"Thank you." Addison smiled and took hold of the box. Pete smiled at them and carefully Addison began to unwrap the box. The kids smiled and watched her. She lifted the lid and gasped as the saw the photo.
"Do you like it?" Courtney smiled at them.
"I love it." Addison smiled, tears in her eyes. Courtney, Leah and Jamie smiled proudly. "It's beautiful." Addison looked down at the photo of the three kids.
"Thank you, it's really beautiful." Pete smiled widely.
"It's perfect."
"We're glad you like it." Leah smiled.
"It's lovely." Addison held her arms out for them. They smiled and hugged their parents. "Thank you." Addison kissed their foreheads.
"No problem." They grinned.
"I love you guys."
"We love you too."
Addison smiled and hugged them close. The kids smiled before they pulled away and continued to open their own presents. Addison smiled and looked up at Pete. He smiled down at her.
"It's perfect." Addison whispered.
"It is." He agreed.
"I can't believe they got us this."
"Yeah." Pete smiled as he gazed down at the picture and Addison grinned widely. Pete smiled and pecked her lips. "I love you."
"I love you too, so much."
He smiled at her. Addison smiled back and looked at the photo while the kids were still busy unwrapping their presents.
"This is a good Christmas."
"Every Christmas with you and the kids is a good one."
"It is." Addison grinned and kissed him softly. Pete smiled and kissed her back. "I still can't believe we've ended up here at times." She grinned.
"I know." Pete smiled. "It's amazing."
"It is."
Pete smiled and pecked her lips once again. Tenderly she kissed him back. Jamie looked up from a present and rolled his eyes at them while Addison and Pete continued to kiss.
"What?" Courtney smiled at Jamie.
"They're gross."
Courtney just shrugged and smiled.
"They are" Jamie turned from his parents. The girls smiled and continued to unwrap some presents.
Addison smiled and leaned against Pete while Pete smiled at her.
"I love you Pete." She whispered.
"And I love you." He smiled and ran his thumb over her cheek.
"I am so glad I'm here, with you, with the kids."
"Me too. I couldn't be happier."
Addison grinned widely and looked at her family, none of them could be happier.
