December 22

Sarah was spooned into Dickie's front, his arm wrapped protectively around her and his hand on her growing belly.

It was 6:30am and she'd woken to his rolling into her and dragging her close; his hard morning member was pressed snuggly into her ass and his head was buried into the crook of her neck.

Glancing at Anna Kate's monitor, she smiled small seeing her baby girl still sound asleep, butt up in the air and face smooshed into her favorite blanket.

She was about to send a picture of the monitor to the girls chat when a message from Liv popped in that included a picture of Teddy in similar fashion.

L: He's whispering "dadadada mamamama" in his sleep…. Omg.

M: Oh my Teddy bear!!!

S: Stoooooop! He's not supposed to grow up that fast

Sam: Absolutely not! Turn back the clocks

Sam: Though I have two that slept from 10:30/11-5!!!!!!!

S: Shut up!

L: Omg that's amazing!

K: Awwww no no no my babies can't grow up!!

S: Why are you awake?!

K: Gym, duh

M: Lunatic! You guys?

Sam: My morning to feed... and now cause their daddy rolled into me and got all snuggly lol

S: Haha Dickie too

L: El too

She sent a picture of Elliot wrapped behind her in a similar fashion and the girls followed suit.

Sam: They are sooooo like him

S: Mini me's- don't let them deny it! Mo why are you up?

M: My tiny pregnancy bladder lmao

M: (and the hormones)

Sam: It doesn't get better

S: Nope

L: Lol! Try being 53. What time are you guys coming over?

S: Prob early before Anna Kate's nap

Sam: Soon, we're all packed- just gotta get the kiddos in the car and pick up breakfast. And get dressed lol

S: Again, we've been up since 5 lol

Sam: And no one is paying us back for breakfast!!

S: Yeah ok

M: We are

K: Yeah lol but thanks for offering we love y'all.

M: Y'all????

Sam: Beau is rubbing off on her!

L: Uh huh. Gonna try and sleep more before you guys get here and the boy wakes up. See you guys later love you all!

L: Someone make sure Lizzie is alive, she was out last night

S: On it

Sam: Love you guys.

M: Bye love you!

K: Kisses

Setting her phone down, Sam yawned lightly but rolled her hips backwards.

"Mmmmph," Eli groaned softly, pressing a kiss to her neck. "When are you gonna be cleared," he whined and she giggled.

"Next week I think…"

"Can't come soon enough," he said with a nod that made her blush and roll into his chest. "Still gonna want me even though I have stretch marks and stuff…"

"Samantha Lynn," he scolded playfully. "Even more. Who were you texting so early?"

"The girls," she yawned, "Teddy is talking in his sleep, whispering mama and dada."

Eli's eyes shot open. "No!" He whispered and she laughed softly. "Yes!"

"Noooo," he grumbled, collapsing carefully on her.

"Hmmmm," she whispered into his ear.

"What?" He asked, kissing her neck softly.

"Just got really horny," she sang softly and he moaned pathetically.

"Oh?" He asked with a smirk, running his hand down her soft belly to the top of her panties.

"Please," she whispered. "Just be careful…"

"Uh huh," he said, already descending under the covers.


Upstairs, Beau had Katie pinned against the wall, taking her from behind as she whimpered.

"Some workout," he muttered and she nodded quickly. "F-faster…"

"Really gonna let me cum in you today?"

She hesitated and shook her head making him groan softly. Speeding up, he pulled out just in time to cum on her ass.

"Don't start, Beau," she warned.

"Not saying anything," he muttered, kissing her shoulder.

"You're thinking it."

"I'm thinking I want a baby with you, yes."

"So you're mad."

"Kate I'm not… I'm just disappointed."

"I want to get married finally, at least…"

"I know and I'm thankful and excited," he whispered.

"I'm not gonna put it off, Beau I promise you."

"Why don't we look into adoption if you're so worried about passing the gene…"

She just sighed and kissed him, making her way to their bedroom.


Dickie had woken to Sarah's giggling at her phone and rolled her to her back, looking down at her.

"Morning," he whispered, tickling her neck with his beard and tracing his hand down her belly to her waistband. "Whatcha laughing at?"

"Hmmm how you, your dad, and your brother all sleep the same with your ladies."

"Don't talk about my dad when I'm trying to have sexy time," he whined playfully and she giggled a little harder.

"She's still sleeping," she said quietly and Dickie's head popped up with a big grin. "Oh yeah?"

"Uh huh," she smiled, gently pushing on his shoulders to force him below the covers.

She smiled when he stopped to kiss and whisper and "I love you" to their baby girl in her belly before diving face first into her center and making her cry out.


"Elliot," Liv gasped, riding his hand that was pressed down into her panties and fingering her quickly.

On the monitor they were both looking at, Teddy was starting to pull himself up in his crib.

"He's gonna cry soon, you better cum," Elliot taunted softly.

Burying her face in her pillow, she let pleasure overtake her and a short but mighty orgasm rip through her just as their baby son whined in his crib.

"Dadadadadada," he whispered, starting to work himself up.

"Dada go ahead," Liv said breathlessly, rolling to her back with her jaw still hanging open.

"Going," he nodded, kissing her and moving to get their little one.

She was still lethargic when he arrived back, holding a changed Teddy who was hugging his Eli teddy bear.

"Hi sweet boy," she whispered, reaching out for him.

He lunged towards the bed, crawling up quickly to her once El sat him down.

"You got your Eli bear again today? You missing that big brother?" She cooed softly.

"More like the one who switches the bears every night is missing his big brother," El said with a slight frown and Liv nodded.

"It's okay my boys… mommy misses him, too," she said loud enough for their boy who'd snuck out of his room to hear.

"But remember he's spending the next few days here," El said, just as loud, making Liv smile small.

"You guys aren't subtle," Noah called from the kitchen.

"Neither are you," El called back with a laugh.

Teddy sat up quickly when he heard Noah's voice, leaning forward in an attempt to see where his brother was.

"Someone's waiting on you," Liv called.

"I'm making coffee," Noah said back. "Hold on."

They both laughed again and Teddy sighed, trying to crawl to the edge of the bed to see Noah.

Scooping him up, El plopped him down on the floor. "Incoming," he called to Noah as Teddy raced out on his hands and knees to see his big brother.

Smiling at one another, they basked in the laughter of their youngest two sons and smiled when they returned together with snacks for themselves.

"Sorry dad I didn't have enough hands but your coffees are on the counter," Noah shrugged, setting Teddy down and climbing up beside him.

He laughed. "It's okay buddy I'll get it," he smiled, heading into the kitchen.

Noah was uneasy, and Liv pulled him into her side while Teddy happily munched on a teething biscuit.

"Talk to me?"

"I'm fine," he lied, fiddling with the soccer teddy bear in front of him.

"Mhm," Liv said, "and I'm a fire fighter. Talk… you miss your brother?"

Noah shrugged, tossing the bear aside. "No it's whatever…."

"What's whatever," El said, coming back in with the two cups of coffee.

"Nothing," Noah said, shaking his head.

"Don't seem fine," El sang softly, setting his coffee down and pulling him into his arms.

"Dad stop," he muttered, shaking his head and trying to pull back.

"Nope," El said, tickling him and making the younger boy finally break down into laughter.

"Talk to me and I'll stop," he said between Noah's laughs.

"Okay okay!!" He finally called and El stopped, pulling him into his chest. "What's going on?" He asked, tone softening.

"I just miss my brother," he sighed softly. "There's been so many changes and I just…"

"Like what baby?" Liv whispered, gently rubbing his hand.

"Just… Kathy and then Eli leaving and now Dickie and Carl are having more babies and Emma is busy with girl stuff," he sighed. "I just feel lonely…"

"Noah," El frowned, looking down at him. "I'm so sorry buddy… I wish you'd have told me sooner, son, I'm so sorry you're feeling that way…"

He shrugged. "And Emma and Jake always wanna be together so I can't even hang with him…"

"Oh buddy… what about all your friends??"

He shrugged again. "It's not the same I," he trailed off and shook his head.

"It's not your brothers," Liv whispered.

"Yeah…" he sighed, shaking his head. "It's not that I don't love Teddy," he rushed out and Liv chuckled softly. "We know you love Teddy… but he's only a baby, it's okay."

He nodded and wiped his eyes quickly.

"Listen… just because they're going in different directions doesn't mean that they don't love you still… you have a whole two weeks of Christmas break… you can stay with them," El nodded encouragingly. "But I'm sorry you're feeling sad and I want you to remember it's okay to feel that way," he added.

"I-I just hate being so young," he said, blinking a few tears down his cheeks.

The front door opened as Eli and Sam clamored in quietly with the twins, and Noah quickly wiped his face.

"Everyone awake?" Eli called softly.

"In here," Liv whisper called.

Eli came in with EJ on his chest, stopping short when he saw a sad Noah.

"Buddy what's wrong," he frowned, immediately moving to sit by him.

"Nothing," he whispered.

"Doesn't seem like nothing…"

Elliot nudged him and he shrugged. "Just miss you…"

"Oh buddy… I miss you, too," he whispered, wrapping an arm around him and pulling him close.

Noah melted into his embrace and put a hand in EJ's back as the little one turned his head to look at his uncle.

"You wanna stay with us for a few days after Christmas?" Eli asked softly and Noah nodded. "Please?"

"Course," Eli smiled, nodding to Sam who'd appeared at the door and smiled at the pair, hugging Joey close to her chest. "Noh, you're welcome whenever," she said softly with a smile.

"Thanks," he nodded, wiping his face and snuggling tighter into Eli.

Sam gave a concerned look and Eli nodded over Noah's head.

"Hey… how about we have some bro time huh? Go play some video games?"

"Really?" Noah asked, looking up to Eli.

"Yeah really," he smiled, pecking EJ's head and handing him off to Elliot. "Go see papa okay?" He whispered to the squirming one month old.

"Wait just us?" He asked, watching him.

"Yeah is that cool?"

Noah's grin lit up the room and he nodded quickly.

"Alright go get it set up in my room I'll be right in!"

"Okay," he said excitedly, running off to Eli's room.

"I'll figure it out, send Dick in when he gets here," Eli said, leaning to kiss his mom's cheek after he stood.

"Thanks baby," she smiled small, turning her attention to Teddy when he pushed his bottom limp out and worked desperately to be a little dramatic and get his brothers attention.

"You wanna come?" He asked with a laugh, holding his arms out to him.

His pout turned quickly into a smile and he crawled his way, kneeling up on wobbly legs and reaching for him.

"C'mere," he smiled, kissing his cheek. "Missed you," he said as they walked out after kissing Joey's head and Sam's cheek.

"He's so good," she sighed happily towards Liv who nodded. "The best! C'mon. Let's go wait for Queen E to wake up and have some breakfast."


"Ask it," Noah said as Eli sat beside him and set Teddy between them with a toy.

He laughed and looked at his little brother. "What's going on with you?"

Sighing, he shook his head. "New kid at school. Being a jerk… his sister is your age and their mom got super involved with school and they're just like… super religious," he rolled his eyes. "Always saying stuff about…" he trailed off.

"'Bout me and Sam?" He asked, nudging him.

"Yeah… it's not nice…"

"Emma told me… his sister has said stuff too and Jake told her off… Tom almost had to intervene," he laughed softly. "Didn't know she had a brother."

"Yeah he's worse than Mike," he sighed, sitting back and dropping his controller.

"I thought you and Mike were friends now?"

"Yeah, now," he said, "I'm just saying he's worse than Mike was."

"Well he saying anything about you specifically?"

"I mean no but… you're my big brother and Sam is practically my sister… and that's my niece and nephew and I don't appreciate someone being rude about it!" He exclaimed, voice raised a bit now.

Teddy started and leaned back into Eli, bottom lip jutting out.

"Hey… hey," Eli said softly, putting one arm around Ted and the other around Noah's shoulder's. "Calm down just a bit okay?"

He exhaled a heavy breath and nodded. "Sorry…"

"Don't apologize… you're allowed to be frustrated. And I love that you wanna stick up for us… it makes me so proud to be your big brother, just don't stress yourself out okay?"

He nodded quickly and sighed. "I just miss you… I miss you and I hate that Emma is at the big school and everything is changing and I hate it."

"What else is changing?"

"Dickie and Carl are having babies and…" he sucked in a stuttered breath. "Beau is busy and I'm just… I just miss my brothers," he looked down.

"Noah," Eli said, laughing softly and smiling when big blues eyes filled with emotion looked up to him.

"Noah Stabler," he said, moving Teddy to his lap so he could hug Noah closer. "Noah you are the luckiest kid alive, I think. You want from no brothers, to two, to four… and now you're the best big brother to Teddy. I know change is hard and it's hard to be the youngest, but buddy just cause we have other things coming up doesn't mean we love tou any less. Noh, you're my best friend, you're Dickie and his daughter's favorite person; you're Carl's baseball buddy cause lord knows me and dad can't track anything about that game anymore, and no one likes watching SEC college football or fishing quite like you and Beau. Just cause we have changes happening in our lives doesn't mean we stop any of those things… you're still our little buddy, but I'm sorry all these changes have affected you so much."

He sniffled, burying his head into his brother's side and nodded quickly. "Love you Eli."

"Love you baby brother. I'm only a text or FaceTime away… and I'm also just 10 minutes down the road," he teased softly.

"But you won't be forever, Eli…"

"Well I may be… and even if not, I'll be home every weekend."

"B-but EJ and Joey are gonna be bigger so we won't have as much time together," he said, face screwing up again as Eli chuckled softly and hugged him tighter.

"Noah I'll always make time for you. Hey… look at me."

He looked up trying to control his face.

"I promise," he added.

"Pinky promise," he whispered like little kids do.

"Double pinky promise he said, holding both pinkies up and making Noah laugh softly and wipe his face before gripping his brother's pinkies.

Teddy squealed and put his tiny and chubby hands on his brother's as they both laughed.

The door opened and Dickie walked in with his arms raised. "You guys were just gonna have a bro meeting without me??"

Noah was cracking up now and Dickie sat beside them with a groan. "Too old for the floor," he grumbled, pulling Noah into him.

"What are you doing here so early??!" Noah asked with a smile.

"Dad needed help with something and Sarah decided last minute she wants to get me one more thing for Christmas. So the girls are out shopping and I'm gonna get dragged down to do dad stuff with dad. Plus, any time I don't have to drag my twin out of bed after a night out is a win," he grumbled.

"Christmas gifts?" Noah asked, wiggling his brows.

"More like dad is gonna do the guy stuff and you're gonna watch," Eli ribbed.

"In a freezing apartment storage unit, none the less!"

"It's literally climate controlled," Eli teased.

"You can come help you know!"

"Nope sorry I'm busy and my kiddos don't have any obnoxious toys yet," he smiled and winked, nodding towards Noah.

"I'm gonna buy them so many toys with so many little pieces, Jr, mark my words," Dickie shot back, giving him the "looking at you" motion.

"Don't you dare," Eli quipped and Noah laughed hysterically.

"Seriously because I'll have to help! Plus, dude we've got Mario kart to play right now," he scoffed and Dickie laughed.

"Alright well you guys have fun," he said, kissing their heads and heading out. "Pray for me!" He called.


El and Dickie went down to put together new bikes for Emma and Noah, as well as a ridiculous play kitchen with a million pieces Liv had picked out for Anna Kate.

She and Sam stayed in the living room with the twins, and were each snuggling one as they chatted on the couch.

"I can't believe you guys agreed to have us all over for three days," she laughed softly and Liv smiled, waving her off.

"We decided we wanted to start a fun Christmas tradition… plus I don't think we've done this with everybody yet," she grinned.

"You're a Saint, mama," Sam chuckled.

"How you doing baby?" Liv asked after a moment of quiet.

Not only was it the twins first Christmas, but the first Christmas without her mom.

"You know… it's hard but… these two and Eli… all of you? It's a nice distraction," she smiled small.

"Just don't get too distracted okay? You're allowed to mourn and be sad," Liv smiled small.

"I know," she whispered, blinking quickly and looking down at Joey, pausing a moment. "She looks more and more like her every day…"

"I'd noticed that," Liv smiled big. "She's perfect and has her name… what a legacy, Sam," she whispered.

"Yeah… I wish she could have gotten to meet them…"

"No doubt she was loving on them in heaven before they came earth-side," she said tearfully.

"They're very loved that's for sure," she whispered, kissing Joey's nose several times.

She scrunched it up and Liv laughed softly, glancing to her phone when it buzzed.

K: Hey… can I come over early? Need some mama time…

Liv smiled and quickly replied.

L: Course baby!!

No sooner had she sent the message, the door opened and Katie came in, eyes red from crying.

Sam instinctively reached for EJ so Liv could get up and go to Katie.

"Baby baby… what's wrong," she whispered, pulling her into a tight hug.

"I-I'm a f-failure," she sobbed, completely breaking down in her arms.

"Eli," Sam called, but he was already emerging from the bedroom with Noah in tow to get the twins.

"Sorry," she mouthed to them, and smiled small when they both waved her off and each took a twin, retreating back.

"You're not a failure," Liv whispered, shaking her head. "Not even a little bit, honey…"

Sam had come behind her to help get her to the couch to sit.

"Talk to me??" Liv whispered, and Katie sniffled just wiping her eyes.

"I… Beau hates me," she sobbed, feeling herself start to lose control.

"Beau couldn't hate you if he tried," Sam whispered, gently brushing back her hair. "You have your meds?" She asked gently.

"B-bag…" she nodded to the one that had fallen from her shoulder.

Sam gathered her medicine, giving her a pill as Liv rubbed her back soothingly.

"Why do you think Beau hates you?"

"C-cause I… I… I'm so afraid to give him a baby…"
