December 25th, 2003

Alex slipped her slippers on and shuffled to Jade's nursery. The baby was already awake and standing up in her crib babbling to herself. Alex smiled.

"You awake already, Love bug?" She said grabbing a sweater for Jade. "You excited to see of Santa came? I'm sure he did. It's your first Christmas." She put the sweater on her daughter, "Let's go wake daddy up." The girls went into bedroom where Ty was snoring.

Alex put Jade on the bed next to Ty. Jade giggled poking Ty's face. Ty was still snoring. Alex chuckled as jade bit Ty's nose. He groaned as he opened his eyes.

"What time is it?" He mumbled.

"Seven." Alex said.

"Too early." Ty groaned again pulling the blanket over his head. Jade whimpered and poked Ty again. He groaned opening his eyes again.

"It's Christmas morning, Ty." She said, "We're excited. We want to see what Santa brought us." Alex poked her fiancée. Jade poked him again.

"Okay okay." Ty sat up and snatched his daughter up in his arms. She squealed. "Are we going to get up this early every year?"

"No." Alex said, "Every year, she's going to get up earlier and earlier." Ty groaned as Jade giggled.

"We're stopping at one kid." He said getting out of bed.

"We're having tons and tons of babies." Alex winked. Ty shook his head slipping his slippers on.

"Okay. Let's get this show on the road." He said. Alex clapped her hands. She loved Christmas, but now that she was a mother, Christmas had a new meaning. The family walked into the heavily decorated room. Presents spilled out from beneath the Christmas tree. "Jeez."

"Looks like Santa spoiled a certain little girl." Alex took Jade from Ty and set her on the floor. The baby immediately crawled to the presents. She giggled playing with a bow on top of one.

"All those better not be all for her." Ty said as he sat on the floor.

"I think Daddy may have a few under there." Alex smiled putting Jade on her lap. "Let's see what's in this package, ladybug." She put a package on Jade's lap. Alex helped Jade's tiny fingers with the wrapping paper. "I think it's from grandma and I bet it's a cute little outfit." Sure enough it was. Alex pulled out a red set of overalls and a ladybug T-shirt that would fit Jade come the Summer time. "Look, Baby, it's a ladybug outfit. That's what Mommy and Daddy call you." Ty chuckled.

"Daddy needs a present." Ty said. Alex giggled leaning over and grabbed a small package.

"Give this to Daddy, Ladybug." Alex put the present in Jade's hands and leaned her over to Ty. He smiled as he took the present from her.

"Thanks, Babe." He read the label. "It's from Mommy." Alex gave him a wink. Ty ripped open the red wrapping paper and opened the box. It was a gold watch. "Oh Alex. Its great." He slid the watch onto his wrist.

"You like?" She asked.

"I love." Ty leaned over and kissed Alex softly. She smiled at him.

"Good. It took me awhile to find the perfect one." She said picking up a gift from her mother. She opened it up and held up the blue T-shirt. Alex giggled softly.

"Here. Open this." Ty handed her a gift. Jade crawled off of Alex's lap and went over to the pile of gifts.

"Okay." Alex took the green bow off and stuck it to her head. She ripped off the paper and opened the box. "Oh Ty…" She pulled out a silver bracelet with Jade's name engraved on it.

"There's room so when we have more kids we can have their names put on it." He said as he helped put the bracelet on her. "The clasp is extremely tight, so you can wear it at work."

"It's so beautiful." She whispered, "It's the best Christmas gift ever. Thank you."

"It's my pleasure." She kissed her fiancée. For the next hour, the three of them tore through the gifts. They were all spoiled and got things they needed and things that they didn't. This certainly was the best Christmas they've had in a long time.

Beth Taylor smiled at her granddaughter. Spending the weekend with Alex and Ty was fun now. She had a rugrat to spoil now. Alex walked into the living room with a couple of mugs of tea.

"Here you go." She smiled handing Beth the mug. "You enjoying yourselves?"

"Oh yes, Of course." Beth chuckled, "She really is getting big."

"Yes, unfortunately." Alex smiled opening a bridal magazine. Beth smiled softly at her daughter.

"Have you picked out a dress yet?" She asked.

"No, but Ty and I think maybe a Victorian theme or a Cinderella will be cute." She said.
"Themes...Alex, don't do a theme." Beth said.

"I want to. I think it'll be cute." Alex smiled. "Plus, when have I worn a dress? If I'm going to wear a dress I'm going to do it right, because I'm never going to wear one again. I want it to be an elaborate and beautiful dress."

"You look beautiful in dresses, sweetheart." Beth said, "You shouldn't cover yourself up like you do." Alex rolled her eyes.
"Jade can wear dresses. I'm sticking to pants and shorts." Alex said. Beth looked at her granddaughter crawl over to a pile of toys.

"Alex...Are you happy?" Beth turned her eyes to her daughter. Alex looked at her oddly.

"Am I happy?" Alex asked, "Of course I'm happy. I'm getting married and I have a wonderful daughter." Beth smiled softly.

"Good." She said.

"Are you happy, Mom?" Alex said with a touch of concern. Beth took a moment as she thought.

"I think so." Alex smiled softly, "I'll go change Jade. Pick out a dress." Beth winked scooping up her granddaughter. Alex sat back in the couch and looked through the magazine. Beth walked upstairs to Jade's nursery. "Your mommy and daddy really did do a wonderful job on this room."

Beth placed Jade on the changing table. Jade kicked her legs as she talked to her grandmother. Beth chuckled unbuttoning her romper. "Telling Grandma a story? Well, it's a lovely story." Beth started to change her grand daughter. "I have a story for you. It's about your grandfather." As soon as she rebuttoned Jade's romper and picked her up. They sat down in the rocking chair.

"Your grandfather was a sweet man. Before your mommy was here and before Uncle Adam was here, before even me and your grandfather got married, I was seeing another man. His name was Harold Kiniski. He had a really big nose and red curly hair. Well, it was the time for the Valentine Dance. I had on this beautiful red dress on and my hair was all curly." Beth said. Alex crept upstairs and stood beside the door listening to her mother.

"Well, Harold and I had been together for about a year so we were serious. Angus never really expressed interest in me. He was just the big guy on the football team. Well, Harold and I went to the Valentine's dance and we danced for so long. Around ten p.m., before the last dance, your grandfather tapped Harold on his shoulder and asked to dance with me." Beth kissed Jade's cheek, "So, we started to dance. Then he leaned over and said 'I have been watching you all night, Beth, and decided that you're the woman I'm going to wind up marrying'" Beth laughed gently, "I gave Harold the boot that night. And your grandfather and I spent almost every single day until he died since that night together."

"You never told me that story." Alex said as she walked in. Beth smiled.

"Well, you heard it now." She said getting up. "It's not as romantic as when Ty proposed to you though." Alex giggled.

"Maybe. Maybe not." She said.
"You should tell Jade that story." Beth said as she put Jade in her crib for her nap.

"When she's older I will." Alex said. Beth wrapped her arm around her daughter's waist.

"I still can't believe you made me a grandmother." She said, "I had always thought I would never become a grandmother, but…Now I am. Thank you." Alex smiled resting her head on her shoulder.

"It's been my pleasure. I'll give you a few more grandchildren before my time is up." Alex chuckled. Beth smiled at her daughter.

"Thank you." She said kissing Alex's cheek tenderly. Sometimes it was nice just being with each other with no sadness between them.
