The next morning Dwayne and Whitley were awoken to Brielle jumping on their bed.
"Wake up wake up it's Christmas!" Brielle said.
"Baby your mother and I were up doing uh things last night and we're extremely tired." Dwayne said.
"Can Christmas start at 10 it's 7 Brielle go back to bed." Whitley complained half asleep.
"Come on mom and dad is that how you treat your only child." Brielle said poking out her lowing lip.
Dwayne sighed.
"Come on Whitley lets open up these presents." Dwayne said.
"Dwayne." Whitley whined.
"You can go back to sleep after." Dwayne said.
Whitley sat up.
"Fine lets go." Whitley said. "You happy Queen Elizabeth?" Whitley said to Brielle.
"Very." Brielle said and she walked out her parents room.
The three gathered in the living room five minutes later.
"Whitley why don't you open the presents I got you first." Dwayne said.
"Ok." Whitley said. She grabbed a small box and opened it.
"Diamond earrings!" She yelled. "I love them Dwayne thank you."
"There's more baby." Dwayne said.
"A matching necklace!" Whitley said she gave Dwayne a passionate kiss.
"I'm gonna have to start buying you jewelry some more if that's how you're going to be." Dwayne said.
Whitley also got a new dress and matching shoes.
"Thank you Dwayne I love you so much." She said.
"I love you too." Dwayne said.
"Ok now open my present Pookie." Whitley said handing Dwayne a large present.
"Kind of heavy." Dwayne said when Whitley handed it to him.
"What did you get him?" Brielle whispered.
"A computer." Whitley whispered back.
Dwayne opened his presents and couldn't believe his eyes right in front of his eyes was a new computer.
"A new computer!" Dwayne yelled. "Lord knows I needed this so much."
He gave Whitley a kiss.
"Thank you baby." He said.
"You're welcome." Whitley said.
Dwayne and Whitley opened their presents they got from their daughter. Brielle had made her father a photo album of all the pictures they had together and she gave her mother a pair of heels and a perfume set.
"Now it's time for your present." Dwayne said Whitley was smiling ear to ear.
"I got to go get it from the basement I'll be right back." Dwayne said.
"So I didn't get a chance to talk to you about your little date how was it?" Whitley asked.
"It was actually really good." Brielle said.
"And your father didn't embarrass you?" Whitley asked.
"Other than him reprimanding me for holding his hand after Jamal left then no." Brielle said.
"Good." Whitley said.
Dwayne came back with something in his arms.
"Dad what is that?" Brielle asked.
Dwayne put whatever was in his arms on the floor and it ran up to Brielle.
"You got me a kitten!" Brielle said smiling. "I've been asking for one ever since I was 9."
"And we now think you're responsible for one." Whitley said. "And this is your responsibility."
"I know I'll take good care of-"
"It's a girl." Dwayne said.
"I'm gonna name it Nala." Brielle said.
"That's a cute name." Whitley said. "Now that we opened all the presents can we go back to sleep."
"Well baby I'm not tired." Dwayne said.
"Well I am." Whitley said. "If you need me I'll be sleeping."
Dwayne and Brielle watched Whitley walk out the room.
"You wanna help me set up my new computer?" Dwayne asked.
Brielle nodded.
"Can Nala come?" Brielle asked.
"Of course." Dwayne said.
The two grabbed Dwayne's computer and went to the basement.
