Jaime and Eddie got back from the Christmas Eve church service, it was cold and snowy. It was also one year ago that they had gotten engaged. Jaime carried emmalyn to her room as she was passed out asleep. Eddie followed. Her belly was growing, she was in that cute stage now.
Jaime woke Emmalyn up by needing her to stand to get changed out of her nice Christmas dress. She was so tired she whined the whole time. Jaime took off the dress, stockings, shoes and then made her go with him to the bathroom.
"Don't have to go potty." She said angrily at jaime he was putting her on the toilet.
"Just try and then we can go to bed, daddy's tired too." Jaime told her. He opened the cabinet under the sink to get a pull up but there were no more.
"Eddie do we have more diapers I hope?" He called out to Eddie who was in Emmalyn's room hanging up her dress.
"We should..." Eddie said coming into the bathroom to look in the closet behind the door.
"I don't want one!" Emmalyn said out of exhaustion she was being stubborn.
"You need to wear a pull up Em-" Jaime started to tell her nicely but she bit his head off before he could finish explaining to her.
"NO!" She yelled at him, Jaime jumped back she scared him a little.
"Excuse me! You do NOT yell at daddy!" Eddie intervened and got down to her level, telling her how it was. Emmalyn put her head down. Eddie put the pull up on her and told her she needed to say sorry or Santa wasn't going to bring her presents for being a good girl.
"Sorry..." she told jaime as they all still stood in the bathroom together.
"It's okay Em. Ready to go to sleep? Santa will be here soon but not until your sleeping!" Jaime told her trying to get her excited. He carried her back to her room and Eddie helped him dress her. They tucked her in and left the room. Eddie took a deep breathe, Emmalyn certainly gave her a run for her money sometimes. Jaime knew it too, he wanted to ease her stress away.
"Alright Mrs.Reagan, let me help you out of that dress and you let me know how far you wanna go tonight." Jaime whispered in her ear as they walked down the hallway. She smiled and felt better already. Jaime shut the door behind him and they locked lips intensely. Eddie has been teasing him all night so he knew this is what she wanted and needed.
Eddie took off the suit coat he was wearing and then unbuttoned his shirt underneath. All the clothes falling onto the floor. Jaime grabbed her hips and turned her around, he moved her hair to one side and slowly unzipped her dress all the way down. He helped her out of it and then turned her back around to face him, he kissed her neck and stopped at her ear.
"How far you wanna go tonight?" He asked teasing her. She giggled and said
"All the way." It made Jaime turned on even more. They were both hungry for sex and got started real quick.

It was Christmas morning now, Jaime and Eddie put out the gifts before they went to bed last night. It had snowed about 3 inches over night and was still coming down.
They cuddled up with coffee on the couch when they woke up. Jaime liked to rub eddies baby bump and playfully talk to the baby.
"Eddie I just realized something just now." Jaime expressed with a face that looked like he was deep in thought.
"well what?" She asked.
"If the baby can hear us now...that means everything I say to you or vise versa it's hearing." Jaime talked in a circle.
"Ha um yeah so? what's so bad about that?" Eddie asked him.
"All our horny sex talk!? That's not right, some of the things we say to each other during... I mean Eddie c'mon, we're kind of animals. Remeber last night!?" Jaime said to her. She laughed.
"Honey do you remember anything from inside the womb?" Eddie asked him laughing.
"No. But I don't really wanna try and think about it either." He said shaking his head smiling, thinking about that vision for a second and immediately wishing he hadn't thought about it.
"I wouldn't worry. Besides the baby will just be born knowing her parents are crazy about each other" Eddie winked and laughed. Jaime laughed and kissed her.
"So when do you think Em will wake up? I can't wait to see her face. This is going to be the best Christmas she's ever had I know it." Eddie expressed. Jaime shook his head slowly as he looked at all the presents under the tree they had spend 500 on this little girl. He hoped it would be the best ever.
"I think she'll be very happy. I'm gonna get started on making my special pancakes." He said getting up and heading to the kitchen.
"Well I can help you." She said following him.
"Um that's okay, I got this. Go relax." Jaime said turning around massaging her shoulders a second and pushing her back to the couch. She wasn't the best cook and these pancakes were his specialty. He just wanted to make them himself.
"Oh I get it. You don't want me to learn your secret." She teased. Jaime decided to go along with that. Not the fact that she didn't mix the batter well enough and either undercooked them or over cooked them.
"Exactly." He smiled and kissed her and she went to the couch. "Phew" he thought.
She turned on Christmas music and went on her phone.
10 minutes later Emmalyn's door opened and she crept out smiling, her pigtails from the night before messed up and her shirt on backwards.
"Good morning sweetie! Merry Christmas!" She said putting her phone and coffee down and opening her arms for a hug. She ran and sat with Eddie. Rubbing her eyes to wake up.
"Do you see Santa came last night?!" She asked pointing to the presents. Jaime watched her get excited and he smiled. Christmas morning was always such a fun memory.
"How bout we eat first and then we can open them all up?" Jaime called out putting the plate of pancakes on the table. Eddie got up and Emmalyn followed her. She put herself in the chair and Jaime put pancakes on everyone's plate. They all sat down, prayed and dug in.
When they were done they opened presents it took hours because Emmalyn wanted to open all of them and see it right away. Which was fine. They planned on staying home all day so there wasn't a rush to do anything.
"Here mommy this ones for you I think." Jaime winked and gave her a small wrapped present. He definitely wrapped it himself too.
"Jaime...what...-" Eddie said surprised as they had talked about not getting each other anything and spending it on Emmalyn and the baby.
"It's from Santa." He said in defense winking at her. She smiled and opened it hoping it wasn't something expensive. But it was Jaime Reagan, it was going to be.
She opened the little box and there sat a single banded mothers ring. It had a pearl in the middle with an emerald and an opal stone next to it.
"Oh jaime. This is beautiful. You didn't have to-" Eddie stopped and started to cry. He smiled and rubbed her back, he knew she was thankful, and an emotional mess.
"What is it mommy?" Emmalyn came over to see. She tried to stop the tears and wiped her face.
"It's a ring and it has my birthstone and your birthstone and the babies birthstone on it. It's called a mother's ring." She explained to Emmalyn who didn't seem that interested in the ring but concerned as to why Eddie was crying.
"Why are you sad mommy? It's okay." Emmalyn said patting Eddies leg.
"I'm not sad sweetie, these are happy tears" Eddie tried to explain to her. Jaime was smiling at how cute Emmalyn was torward her emotions he rubbed Eddies back.
"Mommy that's silly." Emmalyn said and went back to play with her new cash register set she got.
Eddie was so emotional about this gift. It meant so much to her. She started to laugh at Emmalyn's comment but then cry again. She hugged Jaime next to her in the couch. She held him and cried and he didn't let go of her.
"Thank you honey." She said sobbing.
"Your welcome, I love you." He said as he tried to let go and attempted to change the mood of this situation with humor.
"Now if this baby isn't born in May and decides to be late I told the guy I'd be back to change out the stone. But this baby is a Reagan. It better not be late." Jaime joked and laughed, it made Eddie laugh too.
They sat there and watched Emmalyn play with all her new toys she had to be the happiest kid in New York.
