I know I am so behind on my stories. Work is so crazy. Working in a pandemic is not fun. Risk assessments and me are not friends any longer! LOL! Anywho. This is a little Christmas story for all you Lily-Rose lover's out there. I'm going to split it into 5 chapters. They're not long chapter, just a bit of fun!
Hope you all had an amazing Christmas if you celebrate it!
Enjoy this.
Much Love

20th December. 5 days until Christmas.
Looking to the clock on his laptop, Christian let out a sigh as he rubbed his face slightly. He had a few more hours of work to get in and then he could go and enjoy the holidays with his family. He wanted to be done with it but he had one deal that just needed closing so he was going over the final pieces of paperwork and making sure everything was as it should be. Ros had been over it as had Welch but Christian always liked to have the last look before giving the final okay. Reading over some work he then frowned a little as he heard humming.
"Yous betters watches out, yous betters nots pouts…no…no that's wong."
Christian couldn't help but smile at the familiar sound of his daughter's singing, though he frowned slightly. He thought she was having a nap. Ana had to go to a meeting so Taylor was listening out for Lily-Rose as Gail was doing the weekly shop. Normally he would have scrapped work but this deal needed closing ASAP. He glanced at the photo's on his desk and smiled to himself. He had so many, his recent addition. A scan picture of their soon to be little boy who was due around the same time as his own birthday. He was a surprise that was for sure, but when Ana told him she was pregnant, he couldn't help but grin. He loved being a dad to Lily-Rose and he was looking forward to being with Ana through every step of his pregnancy and experiencing all the firsts.
"Taylors I forgotted the words again." He heard her huff a small smile on his lips. She had really been trying so hard to learn this song.
"You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout I'm telling you why." He heard his head of security sing along. Never did he thought he'd see the day his head of security would be singing songs with his three year old.
"Santy clause is coming to town!" Lily-Rose sang with a giggle as she clapped her hands.
Taylor smiled. "That's right."
"Cans I go and see daddy?" Lily-Rose asked Taylor before glancing to her dad's office where she knew he was. "I just wants him to knows I'ms awake and I'm not being a lazy bones."
Taylor smiled. "How about we grab a bottle of water and some snacks for daddy first?"
Lily-Rose smiled and nodded. "Otays!" She skipped to the kitchen and waited patiently by the island seeing as she couldn't reach the refrigerator.
Following Lily-Rose, Taylor opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water and handed it to Lily-Rose to carry while he grabbed the plate of snacks that Gail had pre-prepared. He didn't know what it was for but he guessed it had to be eaten either way. "Okay let's go."
Lily-Rose grinned before quickly heading off to her dad's office, clutching the bottle of water tightly to her. Stopping outside she waited for Taylor to catch up with her before she gave to door a little knock before pushing it open and poking her little head in to see what her father was doing.
As the door knocked and he saw Lily-Rose, Christian couldn't help but smile as he stopped what he was doing and tilted his head to his daughter. "Shouldn't you be napping?" He mused with a smile to her.
Lily-Rose giggled as she stepped inside and ran over to her father and put his water on his desk before gesturing for him to pick her up. "I napped daddy but I'm awakes now. See!" She grinned before snuggling into him. "Me missed you. And I wanted yous to knows I was awake. Me and Taylors boughts you snacks!" She gestured to Taylor who came in with the plate and put it on the desk.
"Snacks ey?" He looked down to her. "You must have heard my stomach telling me it was hungry."
Lily-Rose's eyes widened as she looked to his stomach. "Your tummy was talking?"
Christian smiled and kissed her head. "It was making noises like yours does when you're hungry." He kissed her head. "I heard you singing. Are you excited for Santa?"
Lily-Rose smiled and nodded. "I've been a very good girl. Mommy saids so."
"You have. What have you asked Santa to get you?"
"My baby brother to be here." She told him matter of factly.
Christian looked to her and glanced to Taylor who shrugged a little before looking back down to his daughter. "Baby your brother can't come yet…he's not done cooking in mommy's belly."
"I askeds Santa to cook him more quickly."
"Baby it doesn't work like that…"
"Uncle Lelliot said Santa can do anything."
"Of course he did." Christian mumbled with a sigh before looking down to his grey eyed girl. He could still remember the day they told her she was going to be a big sister. He had never seen her smile so much. Even more so when they found out it was going to be a boy. Something she had specifically told them she wanted. He didn't know how to get out of this one without breaking this little girl's heart knowing she wasn't going to be having her brother Christmas Day. "I'll speak to mommy and see what she says." He simply told her with a soft smile before kissing her head and just holding her close. "Anything else you asked for?"
"A pwam."
Christian frowned. "A pwam?"
"Yeah, for my baby brother to go in."
"Oh. You mean a pram?"
"That's whats I said." She told him with a frown before she looked up to him. "When is mommy coming backs home?"
"She won't be long baby. Now I have to finish up some work quickly. Why don't you go and find us a jigsaw to do? I've got one more page to read and then I'm done."
"Otays!" Jumping down from her father's lap, she dashed out of his office.
Watching her go, Christian looked to Taylor. "Any advice?"
Taylor looked to him. "You better discuss this with Ana. I don't know how you are going to get out of this one sir without her getting upset."
Christian sighed and nodded. The last thing he wanted for Lily-Rose to be upset, but one thing he knew for sure was that her new baby brother was not going to be physically here for Christmas. He needed to get his thinking cap on and quick. Santa was not delivering her baby brother.
