Sorry it took so long for me to update. I had writer's block for this story so it might not be that great and i started getting into "We're Meant To Be" but no worries..this story is almost finished. Maybe a few more chapters.
"Hey, can we come in?"
Ryan, Marissa and Summer turn their heads to see the four boys walking inside the room with Seth holding Jaiden in his arms. Kirsten and Julie went down to the cafeteria to grab something to eat.
"Oh, my gosh, kiddo." Jimmy says softly as he sees Marissa holding the two babies, "They're beautiful."
Marissa smiles as her father drops a soft kiss on the top of her head.
Sandy walks over to Ryan and the two men hug, "Congratulations, kid." He says softly.
"It's incredible," Seth begins to say as he puts an arm around Summer, "One minute they were inside you, and 13 hours later, here they are." He says, causing Summer to hit him playfully, "How you feeling Riss?" he asks, as he rubs the spot where Summer just hit.
"I'm better now." Marissa replies.
A few minutes later, Julie and Kirsten are back with some food and coffee for everyone else.
"Jay? Buddy, we're here." Seth gently puts Jaiden down on the bed beside Marissa.
The little boy rubs his eyes tiredly and cuddles next to Marissa, "Jay, sweetie, the babies are here." She says softly.
Jaiden looks over to see where Ryan was and smiles, "That's them?" he asks. Marissa nods her head and Jaiden stares at the two babies in awe and smiles, "They're so tiny." He says softly as he reaches over and touches the baby boy's arm, "Can I hold them?"
"Sure buddy." Ryan puts him down on the bed beside Marissa and hands him one of the babies.
"Hi there." He whispers, just loud enough for the adults to hear, "I'm your big brother." Ryan and Marissa watches gratefully as Jaiden talks to the babies softly. Marissa begins to feel tears brimming her eyes as she watches her three kids.
"Do you guys know what they're names are yet?" Seth asks as he holds the baby girl.
"Actually, I think we do." Ryan says, putting a hand on Marissa's shoulder, "Right, babe?"
Marissa nods and smiles, "You guys, meet Tyler Aidan, and Riley Summer."
Summer's head shoots up and she looks at Ryan and Marissa who were staring at her with smiles on their faces.
"Are you guys serious?" she asks in disbelief, "You're naming your baby after me?"
The couple lets out a laugh and nods, "Sum, you mentioned to me that you wanted me to name my daughter after you." Marissa points out.
"Yeah, but I didn't think you would go with it." Summer says still in disbelief.
"Fine then we'll change it if you want us to, we had—
"No, no. I want you to keep it." Summer interrupts as she rushes to Ryan and Marissa, "It sounds great…I just…I can't believe you're naming her after me."
"Summer, you're my best friend." Marissa says sincerely, "You have been since the first grade. Why wouldn't I name my daughter after you?"
Summer smiles at her best friend and wraps her arms around her gently, "Awh, I love you Coop."
"Dude! I'm your best friend! Why didn't you name him after me?" Seth whines.
Ryan lets out a laugh and pats Seth on the back, "I'm sorry man. We just didn't think Seth would fit for a middle name."
"Oh, and Summer does?" Seth utters causing Summer to hit him on the arm, "Ow! Summer! I'm holding a baby!"
"Then, don't make fun!" Summer hisses, "I think it sounds great you guys."
"Hey, do you guys know what today is?" Seth asks, still looking down at little Riley, "It's the first day of Christmukkah."
The whole family lets out small laughs and Jaiden makes face, "What's Christmukkah?" he asks, confused.
Seth looks at Ryan, "Dude! You haven't told him about Christmukkah yet?" he asks in disbelief. Ryan shrugs with a smile and walks over to Jaiden who was still holding Tyler, "Come on, man. Just humor me." Seth whines.
Ryan leys out a laugh, "Seth maybe you can explain it to him. You've always loved telling the Christmukkah story right?"
Seth smiles slyly and hands Riley to Summer before walking over to Jaiden, "Okay, buddy, people have been picking one holiday over another, like, Christmas or Hanukkah, Christmas or Hanukkah. Well for our family, we never have to pick." Seth explains as Jaiden looks at him expectantly, "Because we have our ultimate holiday called, Christmukkah."
Jaiden looks down at his little brother and smiles, "So my little brother and sister are our family's Christmukkah miracle." He utters.
Seth looks over at Ryan and Marissa with a smile and then back at Jaiden, "I have taught you well, my child."
