I love my reviewers! You guys are the best!!! On to the story!

Soon enough, Christmas Eve was here. Micheal and I were having a party at our house for all our close friends; Liz, Max, Kyle, Izzy, and Jesse. Micheal was preparing the food, while I was preparing the boys.

I dressed them identically; all in the sweaters and pants that Iz gave them as an early christmas present. They all had a letter sewn on so you could tell which was which.

Micheal and I were happy again and we hadn't gone over to visit my mother since I told her off. I still wished that Micheal would just ask me and get it over with. He's been doing little things around the house that he never did before. He leaves roses on his pillow when he gets up before me, tells me he loves me all the time, gets up in the middle of the night to change the boys so I don't have to get up, just being sweet...very un-Micheal like.

A knock on the door brought me back from my thoughts. I took the boys and put them in their playpen in the living room. "I'm coming!" I yell as they knock again.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" they say together and Liz and Iz did a little dance.

I laughed and say, "Micheal I think they're all drunk!" then I let them enter, hugging and kissing each one.

"Well, that's how a good party starts, Ria. Everyone gets tanked!" Kyle joked and we all sat in the living room. The boys were already out of the playpen and they were being passed around.

"I see you've got them in the outfits I bought," Iz smiled in my direction.

"Of course! I didn't want to upset the christmas nazi!" I joked and she glared as we laughed.

We did our little secret santa thing and then sat down to eat. Micheal had made so much that we would be having leftovers for weeks! We put the boys to bed soon after dinner and we all had coffee in the living room.

"Well, I brought my gifts for the boys over, too, Ria, but they can't open them until tomorrow," Izzy said and she handed them to me.

"Don't you think you've already given them enough gifts to last for a lifetime?" I joked and took the gifts from her hands. The boxes looked like they contained clothes, which they were in dire need of because they keep growing out of the stuff we buy.

"What kind of aunt would I be if I did not spoil my nephews?" she threw back and I laughed.

Liz stood up and brought me three packages, too. I gave her a glare and she caved. "Ria, they looked sooo cute and I just HAD to buy them for the boys! I can't help it if I love them soo much that I buy them stuff from time to time!"

"Umm, Lizzie, you buy them stuff ALL the time. Whenever you go shopping, you send gifts! You make their uncles and dad look bad!" I said and Micheal gave me a look. "What? I buy them stuff all the time, too! I'm an impulse buyer. Just wait until we have a little girl, Micheal," I smiled, dreamily, and he kissed my forehead.

"That won't be for a little while, baby," Micheal said into my ear. I gave him a sad smile and turned back to our guests. Everyone else pulled out the toys that they bought for my sons and then said their goodbyes. We waved one last time before shutting the door behind them.

"Well, I'm beat," I said and I flopped down on the couch, closing my eyes. I felt myself being lifted up and I smirked, "Not now, Micheal! I'm too tired!"

"Well, good, cause I'm putting you to bed," Micheal said and I opened my eyes.

"What? Are you crazy? I have sooooo much wrapping to do!"

"Sweetheart, they aren't gonna be able to open the presents anyways so why wrap them," Micheal placed me on the bed and then layed down next to me.

"Who said I was wrapping stuff for them? I did get you a few toys, Micheal," I teased and he growled.

"Well, it's almost midnight, meaning it will be christmas morning soon, so we should open up those toys, huh?" Micheal smirked and kissed me long and hard.

I pulled back and said, "When the time is right," precisely using his words and kissed him lightly. I snuggled into his arms, and we fell asleep together.
