Maggie was never one for taking risks when her parents and sister was staying with her, but she couldn't resist Jubal last night nor when he woke her this morning by nipping at the skin gently at her neck. Trying to stay quiet was something that they both struggled a little with, it led to Maggie gripping Jubal's back tight, her fingers digging into his skin a little as he bit the skin gently on her collar bone to drown out his moans. Jubal had rolled on to his back trying to calm his breathing down after reaching such a high, taking Maggie with him who was now laying with her head on his chest running her fingers along his chest.

"I think you may have left a mark on my shoulder"

"I would apologise but I really wouldn't mean it" he smirked playfully laughing when Maggie poked his chest with her finger.

"Just be thankful mister that it's somewhere that I can hide it" she lifted her head resting her chin on his chest so that she could watch him as she placed kisses to his jawline. "You are a very bad influence babe" Maggie teased playfully.

"I wasn't getting any complaints earlier" Jubal smirked as he ran his fingers through Maggie's hair and leaned down kissing her slowly.

"Hmm… You'll never get any complaints from me" She smiled against his lips as she kissed him again with so much love. She really would never get enough of this man.

They lay on in bed for another while before they got up and got dressed for the day before going downstairs to her family who was sitting in the living room. They suggested that they all head out for breakfast before her parents and Mel had to head to the airport to head home. After sharing a really nice breakfast they were all standing out the front of Maggie and Jubal's apartment as they waited on the Uber to come and take them to the airport.

Madeline hugged Jubal tight "Thank you for making this trip possible, it was amazing getting to see Maggie, and we are so glad that we got to meet you and your wonderful kids".

Jubal smiled as he hugged Madeline back "Thank you for agreeing to come here on such short notice. It was really nice getting to meet you all and the kids had an amazing time with you, James and Mel."

James shook Jubal's hand, "Take care of my daughter."

Jubal nodded smiling "I will always take care of Maggie no matter what."

Mel had pulled her sister into a really tight hug "Enjoy every minute with him, you both deserve to be happy, and he brings out the best in you Mags… Hold on tight to him, you both are meant to be together, more than any other couple I've seen before".

Maggie smiled as she hugged her sister back just as tight "I don't plan on letting go of him, he has opened my life to so many possibilities. It really is better with him in it... I'm so glad that you guys finally got to meet face to face".

Maggie hugged her parents thanking them for coming and telling them how much she loved them, Jubal and Mel hugged saying their goodbyes as they climbed into the Uber and waved at Maggie and Jubal as they left heading to the airport. Jubal wrapped his arm around Maggie's shoulder as he kissed her temple watching the Uber until they could no longer see it.

"I think it's safe to say that it went well having your family here?."

Maggie smiled wrapping her arm around Jubal's waist snuggling into his side resting her free hand on his stomach as she kissed his cheek "I honestly couldn't have asked for it to go any better… Thank you, babe for making all of this possible, and for making our first Christmas together one that I'm never going to forget."

Jubal smiled as he kissed Maggie softly before they went back inside the apartment, they tided up after having the kids and her family stay. When they were satisfied the apartment was tidy they got the kids Santa presents out to Jubal's SUV and made sure they hadn't forgotten anything. Jubal went to take the presents to Sam's house and Maggie went out to the store to get the final things that they needed for the kids and Jen, and her family coming to theirs tomorrow evening.

Maggie thankfully wasn't too long at the store, and she was able to wrap the presents for Jubal from her and the kids and put them under the Christmas Tree to give to him tomorrow when they came home from Sam's house. Jubal wasn't home much longer after Maggie as he didn't hang around Sam's house too long. They both decided to have an early night as it had been a crazy few days, and they were going to have an early start tomorrow so that they were at Sam's house in time for the kids getting up to see their presents.

Christmas morning and dinner at Sam's had actually been less painful than both Jubal and Maggie was expecting, it seemed that Sam was behaving differently while Alan was around. She didn't give Jubal a hard time about how he always had to have his hands on Maggie, whether it been sitting on the couch so close while the kids opened their presents from Santa or at the dinner table as his arm rested on the back of her chair with his fingertips running along her shoulder blade. That doesn't mean that Sam didn't notice how close Jubal stayed to Maggie the whole time or how happy that he looked while looking at Maggie. The way that his face lit up when looking at Maggie, it was impossible for Sam not to notice any of it, but while Alan was around she kept the thoughts to herself, for now anyway.

When their early dinner was over Jubal lifted the kid's bags and checked that they had everything they wanted and needed for their overnight stay with him and Maggie. He walked out to the car with Maggie and waited for the kids to say goodbye to their mum before helping Abby into her booster seat and making sure that both her and Tyler were safely in the car before he pulled away from Sam's heading home.

Maggie hadn't stopped smiling all day, she got to see Jubal completely unguarded and full of so much love as he watched Abby and Tyler who were buzzing from so much excitement. She realised that having kids made Christmas completely different, it made it so much more enjoyable, and she was so thankful that Jubal had asked her to be a part of this day. She got to watch him just fully embrace getting to be nothing but Jubal the dad, no worries about anything else other than family. Maggie had noticed how he had relaxed the minute that they got into the car and were on their way home she knew that now she had the completely relaxed Jubal that just got to be himself and those moments were some that she cherished the most.

It didn't take them long to get home as the traffic was light as it was Christmas Day, they carried the kid's bags inside and up to their rooms before all four of them gathered again in the living room. Maggie and Jubal had just sat down on the couch, when Abby came running over to Maggie.

"Can we give daddy his presents now?" The young girl was so excited about giving her dad his presents.

Maggie smiled, "Sure Sweety… Let me get them for you" she walked over and lifted the presents from under the tree and brought them back over to the couch and handed one to Tyler and one to Abby.

"Merry Christmas Daddy" Both kids shouted it at the same time, they were both really excited about giving him his gifts, so excited that they hadn't even asked about opening the ones with their names on them.

"Thank you so much" Jubal took the gifts from his kids and hugged them tightly before he sat one of the presents beside him while opening the other one.

Tyler and Abby watched standing close to Maggie who was sitting beside Jubal as he opened the first present which was a Pencil holder engraved 'To the best Agent and Daddy. We love you so much, from Tyler and Abby' Jubal took the holder out, running his thumb over the engraving as he smiled reading it.

"Do you like it? Maggie said you only use pencils at work" Tyler asked looking at his dad.

"I love it, buddy so much… it's perfect" Jubal hugged both his kids tight, to know that Maggie had gotten this for him with his kids meant so much to him, he was struggling to keep the emotions at bay.

"Look at the top of the pencil's babe" Maggie smiled watching Jubal with the kids, she loved that the kids wanted to get him something that he could use at work, and she knew he would display this proudly on his desk.

Jubal took the pencils and looked at the tops of them to see that 'J Valentine' was on each pencil. Abby smiled brightly "Mags said this way no one can steal your pencils when you sit them down".

"Mags is right, I am always holding a pencil at work and I have nowhere to keep them, so I keep losing them... But now I can't lose them" Jubal hugged both his kids again.

"Open your next one" Tyler smiled looking at his dad, both kids were so happy that they got to give their dad something that he could take to work with him.

"You know that this was more than enough for me?" Jubal looked at the kids and Maggie as he lifted the next gift to open it. He took the wrapping paper off to find a box, opening it he slid out the large dark grey coffee mug and turned it around to read what it said, 'Daddy, a son's first hero. A daughter's first love." Jubal's eyes filled with a few tears as he ran his thumb over the words.

Maggie had been watching as he opened it "I know you love the mug at work, but it needs replacing and the kids wanted you to have something that you could use at work that was from them as they hadn't been able to do that before".

Jubal looked at Maggie "It's perfect... Both gifts are so perfect… Thank you" Jubal leaned over kissing Maggie softly, these gifts may have seemed simple to anyone else but to him, they meant so much and to know that they were from the kids and Maggie.

Abby looked at her dad, "There's more" she giggled as she and Tyler ran back over to the Christmas Tree...

Jubal was holding both the pencil holder and mug as he looked at Maggie, "Baby, this is already way too much... I know you got these for the kids to me... That was more than I needed…."

Maggie lay her chin on Jubal's shoulder seeing the emotion in his eyes, she knew he wasn't used to this, and she was now even more thankful that they had gotten such personal gifts for him "You deserve it babe, we all wanted to get you something special".

"All I needed was time with you and the kids" He leaned in kissing Maggie softly.

The kids came back over Abby standing in front of Tyler to give her present first "This one is from me, Tyler and Maggie" Maggie chuckled softly as Abby was almost bouncing on the spot, she took the pencil holder and mug from Jubal so that he could take the gift from Abby.

"From all three of you huh?" Jubal chuckled as he watched his daughter unable to stand still "You want to help me open it?" Abby didn't need to be asked twice as she helped him with ripping the paper, inside was a framed picture of Jubal with Abby laying on his chest and Tyler resting his head on his arm... His face lit up as he looked at such a special moment being caught on camera, and he looked at Maggie.

"When did you even take this?"

"Last week when you guys FaceTimed me... It was just too adorable to resist taking a screenshot of... And the thin frame means you can keep it in your top drawer at work" Maggie smiled looking at Jubal.

Tyler looked at Maggie unsure about the gift he was holding, and she smiled nodding for him to go ahead, he handed the small box over to his dad "This one is from Maggie".

Jubal set the framed photo down on the coffee table in front of him, and he took the small box from Tyler, he loved how Maggie was including the kids in all of this, he could see how happy that it was making the kids and it was filling his heart with so much love. He unwrapped the small box and took off the lid to find a watch with a silver and dark blue face and leather straps.

"Maggie this is…. Beautiful and definitely way too much" Jubal looked at Maggie.

"Look at the back of it" Maggie was slightly nervous about Jubal reading the engraving on it.

Jubal raised his eyebrow hearing Maggie, he took out the watch sliding it off the holder so that he could look at the back and his eyes immediately landed on the engraving, 'Jubal, I love you more with every passing second." He read the engraving once more before he looked at Maggie, the tears back in his eyes, this woman really did know how to leave him speechless, she had put so much time and thought into these gifts. He had never had anyone get him something so special.

"Baby…" Jubal's voice broke a little as he swallowed the lump in his throat, and he leaned over kissing Maggie with so much love "I love you so much" He lay his forehead against Maggie's.

"That means daddy like's it right?" Abby asked causing both adults to chuckle before pulling back from each other.

Jubal looked at Abby "It means that I love it... I love all these gifts... You guys have definitely spoiled me".
