Amber's Pov
Alfie, Vanessa and I were in the living room of my house, well Alfie's too since he moved in with me and my parents, but anyway we were getting all of Vanessa's presents out for her. We are going to wait for her to open them, well at least until Alfie's parents get here and my parents come downstairs. Oh did I forget to mention its Christmas! The year is almost over.
" Amber." Alfie says breaking me out of my train of thought.
" Yes." I say watching Vanessa crawl around on the floor. Soon she will be a big sister.
" Are you ok?" He asks me.
" Yeah, I'm just thinking about the new baby. Alfie, I just realized we need to tell our parents." I say laying my head on his shoulder.
" Oh. We can wait a few more weeks to tell them. I don't want you to worry about that." He tells me. I see Vanessa crawling over so I take my head off Alfie's shoulder and cheer her on. When she made it over both Alfie and I kissed her cheeks.
Just then my parents walked downstairs.
" Do you two want any eggs, bacon, toast, cinnamon rolls? What do you two want for breakfast or should I just make all of the above so Alfie's parents can have some? Yeah I'll just make all." My mom said. Alfie and I laughed.
Then the doorbell rang and Alfie's parents walked in.
" Mom! Dad!" Alfie says getting up and hugging them.
" We didn't miss anything did we?" They asked. We both shook our heads no.
Alfie's parents walked over to me and I gave them a hug. Then they set down Vanessa's present.
" Ok, Vanessa." Alfie says picking her up and setting her on the floor next to her presents. " Let's open your presents. Amber." He says then motions for me to come over so I did.
First we helped her open the ones from Alfie's parents. She is only 8 months old so she can kinda open the presents but pretty much just hitting the box.
" Look Vanessa they got you clothes." I tell her and show them to her.
Did I mention that all the kids are starting to try to walk. They can get up on their feet holding on to tables or something but they can't walk yet. Ok, off topic anyway next we helped her open presents from Alfie's parents. They also got her clothes and a couple of toys to play with.
Then Vanessa crawled over to the big present. So we helped her open it and it was a play toy for her to stand in and there was toys on it so that she could play, she could also jump and bounce in it. Alfie and I bought her it. Alfie and I brought over her last present which we also bought.
It was a pink fairy doll with a matching little pink dress for her. She is my daughter after all.
After we all ate breakfast Alfie and I decided to exchange gifts. Alfie got me a necklace with and A on it but in the middle of the A was my birthstone.
" Aw. Alfie you didn't have to buy me this. It costs a lot of money." I say.
" But your worth it." He tells me and I give him a kiss on the cheek then hug him.
" Ok well I got you this." I say pulling out a photo album. It wasn't complete just a few pictures of Vanessa on the day she was born, her at a month, her at 5 months, and her first Halloween.
" It is so we can put all the pictures of Vanessa we have in it. Oh and I also got you this." I say taking out a tuxedo.
" I love them." He tells me and kisses me.
" I have another surprise for you that I've been saving up for a while now." He tells me and then covers my eyes. I can tell we went outside. He takes his hands off my eyes and I see a bright pink convertible! Oh my gosh!
I turn around to Alfie ( Since he was behind me) and hug him.
" How much money was this?" I ask.
" You don't need to worry about it. Like I said before I've been saving up for it." He tells me.
" Your amazing you know that." I tell him then give him a kiss and hug him again.
" Not as amazing as you."
" Come on! Lets get Vanessa and try out the car!" I say and drag him inside to get Vanessa.
Yeah, this was the best Christmas ever!
Nina's Pov
It's Christmas! I can't believe the year is almost over. Fabian, Nathan, Jackson, and I were downstairs in Fabian's parents house. Well Fabian and I live there on breaks but its still their house. I was cooking breakfast for us, his parents, and my Gran. Did I mention she was coming? Well she is. I'm so excited! That's why I'm cooking a big breakfast.
" Need some help Nina?" Fabian asks.
" No, its fine." I say.
" Dear, you don't have to make breakfast. We would have." Fabian's mom tells me.
" No its fine. I wanted the breakfast to be a surprise. Since you all have done so much helping Fabian and I with the boys." I tell her and she gives me a hug.
I hear a knock at the door.
" I'll get it.'' I say and open the door to see my Gran.
" Gran!" I say hugging her.
" Nina!"
" Come in." I tell her and she walks into the house.
" This is a nice home." She tells Fabian's dad.
" Thank you." He replies. Yeah, Fabian's parents and my Gran are very polite people.
" Oh my! They're so big!" My Gran says rushing over to Nathan and Jackson.
" Yes. They're 8 months now. Their birthday is coming up soon. April 16." Fabian tells her.
" Wow. Speaking of the boys I brought them presents." She says. " Also, Nina I will be moving into and apartment here this week. So I can be closer to you, Nathan, and Jackson." I give her another hug.
" That's amazing!" I say.
" Ok, breakfast is ready." Fabians mom says coming out of the kitchen and setting the food on the table.
" We'll just be a second." Fabian says handing Jackson to my Gran and Nathan to his mom.
" Yes Fabian?" I ask him after everyone has left the room.
" I wanted to give you your present." He tells me then pulls out a black rectangular box.
" Open it." He says. I open it and it is a diamond and pearl tennis bracelet with the words my chosen one in silver charms.
" Fabian its amazing!" I say hugging him. " But my gift stinks compared to this."
" It doesn't matter. I'll love it." He tells me.
I went behind the chair and pulled out a box of encyclopedias.
" It's a new set of encyclopedias. Plus there's another surprise in the box." I tell him. He looks at me suspiciously then opened the box.
" You got me a ticket to an Egyptian museum? Plus my encyclopedias." He says. Then laughs.
" Yeah." I say giggling at my present choice of encyclopedias. Well he needed a new set so I got them.
" I love them." He tells me and gives me a hug.
" Come on let's eat breakfast I'm hungry!" I say and he chuckles while I drag him to the table.
After breakfast Nathan and Jackson opened up their presents with Fabian and I helping of course.
They got clothes, some toys, both of them got fake Santa hats, and Nathan got a little elf to play with while Jackson got a little snowman to play with. Fabian and I put the hats on them and gave them the little elf and little snowman.
I'm having a great Christmas! My Gran is moving here so I can see her more I have the best boyfriend and the best kids and my boyfriend has the best family. I can definitely say this is a great Christmas.
Joy's Pov
I can't believe it's already Christmas! The year has gone by so fast. This is Lucas's first Christmas and his last one as an only child. Next Christmas he should have a little brother or sister so Mick and I are determined to make this a very good Christmas.
We were at Mick's parents house. Did we tell you I moved into there? Well I did.
My parents were over to watch Lucas open his presents. We haven't told our parents about me being pregnant though, we're going to take them out to dinner next week to tell them.
" Ok, Lucas are you ready to open presents?" Mick asks him and he crawls over to us.
" I guess that's a yes." My mum says.
We helped him open the presents our parents got for him which was clothes and toys. Pretty much what most 7 month olds get. Mick and I got him a play octopus which plays music. We also got him a toy baseball.
While, our parents were setting up for lunch and they had Lucas with them, Mick and I decided to exchange gifts. I ran upstairs to get his gift or should I say gifts.
Once I got downstairs Mick also had my present.
" You open yours first." He tells me and hands me a bag. I take put the wrapping paper and see a necklace at the bottom. I pulled it out and saw a golden elephant charm on it.
" You told me your favorite animal was an elephant." He tells me. I give him a hug then hand him his presents.
They were a new tracksuit and a football signed by his favorite player. ( A/N: A soccer ball if you are American)
" I love it!" I say about the necklace.
" This is awesome!" Mick says about the football. He gives me a kiss then hugs me.
" Lunch is ready." Mick's dad calls.
" Best Christmas ever." I tell him then kiss him. Then he intertwines our fingers and pulls me into the dining room to eat lunch.
Mara's Pov
" Mara. Mara. Mara." I hear my name being called. I threw a pillow on the alarm clock so it wouldn't go off then I hit Jerome with a pillow so he would wake up. I turned around to face him.
" Ow what was that for? " He asks me.
" To wake you up." I say then snuggle into him.
" Mara you have to get up. Its Christmas.'' He says and I shoot up remembering today was Christmas. I hop out of bed and was about to go get Jessie when Jerome says
" Mara. Can I come with you to go get her?" I turn around to him and see him changing his shirt.
" Hurry up. Its Christmas." I tell him.
" Ok done. Hopefully we go under mistletoe together." He says and I giggle.
Then I grab Jerome's hand and take him to Jessie's room. Which was right next to ours. There was an attached door connecting the rooms so we didn't even have to go out in the hallway to go into her room and make sure she was ok.
When we went into her room she was already awake so Jerome picked her up and we went downstairs where my parents, Jerome's dad and Poppy were.
" Well good morning. Where have you three been?" My mum asks.
" Sleeping in while we have the chance." I say and they all laugh.
Jerome puts Jessie down and she crawls straight to Poppy.
" Funny that's what all the kids do to Jasmine." Jerome says.
" Speaking of Jasmine can we watch the Christmas Parade?'' Poppy asks. ( A/N: I don't know if they have the Christmas Parade in England I'm just going to have it in this story)
We turn on the Christmas Parade and I guess we turned it on at just the right moment because the announcer said " And now for the finale is the girl we have all fallen in love with her voice and music, she gained her huge fan base within a year, and she is a recording artist at Wonder records. Here is the beautiful and talented Jasmine Miller!"
Jasmine sang the two songs which were The 12 Days of Christmas and Let It Snow. Wow, she can sing. I can see why she has such a huge fan base.
" Let's open presents." Poppy says and pulls out a big present. " Open it."
Jessie crawled back over to us and then we helped her open the present. It was a toy car. Like one that she can ride in.
" Can you say thank you to Auntie Poppy and Grandma." I ask her. " No? Well thank you, Poppy and Mr. Clarke."
" Mara you can call me John." Mr. Clarke no John says.
" Hold on, I'll be right back.'' I say and go upstairs to put on a bracelet Jerome gave me a week after Jessie was born.
'' Mara." I hear Jerome say my name. " What are you doing?"
" Putting on the bracelet you gave me the week after Jessie was born." I tell him.
He comes up behind me and puts his arms around my waist.
" Do you just want to exchange gifts up here?" He asks and I nod.
He then goes and sits on the bed patting the spot next to him motioning for me to sit next to him.
" Ok I'll give you your present first." I say then give him the hair styling set I got for him.
" Mara this costs lots of money!" He says but I can tell he really likes the gift. Then he hands me my gift which was concert tickets to see my favorite band in concert then also backstage passes!
" Jerome I love it!" I say and give him a hug.
" I knew you would."
Then we head back downstairs to enjoy the rest of our Christmas. Let me tell you Jessalyn got lots of gifts. But this must have been the best Christmas ever!
Patricia's Pov
It's the twins first Christmas! I went into the dining room where everyone was having Christmas dinner. My parents, Eddie's parents, Abby ( his sister), Jasmine ( well you know who she is) ( A/N: This is happening in the evening so Jasmine had already left the Christmas Parade.) , and Aaron ( his brother). Plus the twins were sitting on Jasmine and Abby's laps. Austin on Jasmine's and Alexandra on Abby's.
" Good morning." Eddie says to me as I take a seat next to him.
Alexandra and Austin had already gotten all of their presents mostly clothes and toys but Eddie and I got the twins some tiny teddy bears that will sing them to sleep. Austin's is blue and Alexandra's is pink.
" So how are you two being parents and all?" Eddie's mom asks.
" Um.. Its good. Except we have to wake up a lot in the middle of the night but other than that Austin and Alexandra are very good kids to take care of." I say.
" Yeah." Eddie agrees.
After dinner and after everyone had gone home, well besides my parents, Eddie, the twins, and I since we live here Eddie and I went to our room with the twins. We set the twins in their beds with the teddy bears then decided to exchange gifts.
First, Eddie gave me a silver skull ring. Which is awesome by the way. Just in case you were wondering.
Then I gave Eddie a iPod which at fist he was confused by since he already has an iPod but I explained that in the iPod there was every single Sick Puppies song ever made.
Eddie and I were both really tired but before we went to bed we made sure the twins were asleep. Which they were by the way. I'm loving those teddy bears already. Even if one of them is pink.
I'm pretty sure this was the most amazing Christmas anyone could ever ask for.
So that's the end of the chapter! Merry Christmas! Well even though it isn't Christmas just yet.. Anyway Happy early Christmas! I wrote all of the five couples in there.
