Chapter 22
Dear Santa
Stephanie let out a sigh and cuddled close to Carlos, enjoying the silence in their room. She felt Carlos shift in the bed by her and then lips kissed her neck.
"Merry Christmas, Babe," Carlos said, his voice rough with sleep, "Mmm, the sun is up and no loud noises, I should be concerned."
"No, that means the-" Stephanie started but then stopped as their bedroom door was slammed opened and Diesel stood at the doorway, shouting, "IT'S CHRISTMAS! CARLOS! STEPHANIE PRESENT TIME!"
"We spoke too late," Stephanie sighed as she turned and saw Diesel standing in the doorway, dressed in Pjs.
Diesel ran over to the bed and jumped on it, turned and said, "Come on, Heidi! Jeez!" Stephanie and Carlos laughed as Heidi peeped her head in, holding Mr. Hiss to her chest, dressed in a flannel nightgown. She quickly scurried over to the bed and jump on it, going over to two adults and cuddling in between them.
"Why don't you go and bother your other parents?" Carlos groaned but then sat up and let the kids hold onto him, "Its not fair that you two hell raisers don't go mess with Lester and Brittany."
"Oh, they've been up all night, Momma Brittany is in pain," Heidi said, earning a look from the adults, "Papa said I shouldn't tell you guys, cause it's nothing important."
"Not important my butt!" Stephanie yelped, climbing out of bed and grabbing her robe, "I think it's time."
Carlos climbed out of bed and shook his head, watching the kids run after Stephanie. They weren't at home this year, they took a trip to the mountains, renting a huge cabin, big enough to fit several families and their hell raisers. He could hardly believe that a year ago, they had gotten shared-ish custody of Heidi with Lester and then Brittany, when she got out the hospital and married Lester, who said he found a good woman, nearly lost her and wasn't going to let that happen again. Now, they were all together, living in the same area as a large family. Of course Dr. Ivan and his family popped up quite often and yes, Heidi still wanted to marry Marcus, much to Diesel's horror.
Carlos slipped a shirt on and then made his way to the source of the noise. Everyone was downstairs, by the huge fireplace, surrounding a chair that held Dr. Brittany Santos, who was breathing deeply, rubbing a hand over her pregnant stomach.
"I don't think these are false contractions," Brittany said as Stephanie asked her how she felt, "They've been constant, and getting painful, Lester, why did we go on a vacation so close to term?"
"Because the doctor said we had a month left!" Lester was freaking out, looking at Brittany who groaned and leaned forward as another contraction hit, "I'm sorry you're in pain!"
"I-I'm okay, good pain, right?" Brittany said as Stephanie came over to the woman with a cup of ice, "You're a blessing, Stephanie."
"You kids go open your presents," Carlos said, ruffling Heidi and Diesel's hair, "I'm sure Ivan have been watching over Brittany."
"I have," Ivan walked out the kitchen with a cup of coffee, while his wife bought a tray of drinks for everyone else, "How are you feeling, Brittany."
"In pain," the woman said, leaning back in the chair, running a hand over her belly, "We shouldn't have risked a vacation so late in the pregnancy."
"Even worse, you're carrying twins," Diesel said, looking at Brittany's stomach, "Two babies, you're gonna have two younger siblings, Heidi, whatcha gonna do?"
"I don't know," Heidi shrugged, sucking her thumb, "Nothing."
"You gotta train them to take the rap for all the bad things ya do," Diesel said, looking over to the girl, "Then you can get away with everything."
"I don't wanna do that," Heidi said, taking her thumb out her mouth, "I'm a good girl, that's why I can't marry you, Diesel, you're a bad boy."
The adults laughed at the children's antics and Brittany got up, her back sore. She let out a moan and then paused feeling something strange, like liquid gushing out of her. She looked down at her feet and said, "Huh, Ivan, my water just broke."
"Saw that one coming," Stephanie said to Carlos as Lester fainted on the spot, "That usually happens during the birth, remember Carlos, you fainted-"
"I do not," Carlos said, ignoring Stephanie's giggles.
(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)
They didn't manage to get back to their hospital so they had to make due in the local hospital near the cabin. Brittany gave birth so fast, that by the time they had driven her to the hospital, twin number one was being born in the passenger seat of the car. Twin number 2 was born nearly 4 minutes later, in the lobby of the hospital. A healthy boy and girl.
Heidi walked into the hospital room, holding Stephanie and Carlos' hand. Lester looked from the pink bundle in his arms and smiled at Heidi, "Hey, Princess, come meet your new siblings."
Heidi rushed over to where Lester sat and Brittany lay and looked down at her new sister. She wrinkled her nose a little and said, "She's vewy wed and foldy."
"All babies look like this, when they're born," Brittany said, showing Heidi her new brother, "Even you."
"No way!" Heidi said giving Brittany an Eskimo kiss, "I'm gonna be the best big sister, okay?"
"Okay," Brittany said as she let Heidi give her new brother an Eskimo kiss, "You'll have to help us name them too, okay?"
"Right!" Heidi said, slipping off the bed and running over to Stephanie and Carlos, "Papi, Mommy, we have to think of names!"
"Right," Carlos said as Stephanie went in to go hold one of the babies.
Lester stood up and made room for both Carlos and Stephanie, grabbing his jacket. He paused as he heard something drop to the ground and picked up an old envelope. Strangeā¦He opened the envelope and pulled out a folded letter, which he opened and looked at. What he read made his heart melt. It was letter from a child to Santa, asking for somebody to love them. The letters looked very familiar and he looked over to Heidi, who was busy petting her sister's head, talking to Carlos as he held her. She had a lovely smile on her face and for the first time, the girl looked at peace, content.
"Alright, old man," Lester said, folding the letter up and putting it in his shirt pocket, "I got the message, she's got an army to love her to bits, and that's not going to change.
Fin.
Baby, it's done, over, finis! Why you guys still here? See ya! Off to the trash heap!
