Christmas Eve afternoon and evening was to be spent in a party at the hall. After all of us cooked for two days to prepare enough food for everyone most of us where tired but still excited. The morning of we were finishing up the morning dishes when Nate walked in rubbing his eyes "Mom, Nick wants dad" he announced as he hugged me "and good morning." I chuckled "same to you honey and what's going on that he wants dad" he shrugged and I sighed" go get my cell from my purse and bring it here." When he brought it back I thanked him before dialing Sam and Emily's

"Howdy," a sleepy Leah answered. I smiled "hi Lee is Sammy around" she groaned a yes "can I speak to him" she agreed and went to get him. "Hello sis what's up" he came on the line and I realized how much I missed all of them. I smiled "Hey bro um your son wants you and no I don't know why" I informed him. "Ok witch one" he asked and I told him "well I guess it could be worse you could be telling me your shipping them all back cause they won't listen." We both laughed and then I walked up the stairs holding the phone and knocked on Nicks door "yes" he answered. "Dads on the phone" the door opened and he hugged me real quick before taking the phone from me and shutting the door. I sighed and shook my head and headed back down.

When I reached the bottom step Paul pulled me into a hug and kissed my hair "what's up with Nick why did he want to talk to dad." I smiled at him "don't know he just asked to talk to him so I called him" I answered before kissing his soft and flavorful lips. He was nervous I could tell but he deepened the kiss till we heard a throat clear and I turned around. I burst into laughter at the sight of my baby brother burying his face into his hands. Paul chuckled, "sorry James just have to kiss a woman as beautiful as your sister."

James looked up at him and pretended to get sick witch just made me laugh harder. "Did you want something" I asked and he nodded "what." He looked up at me and then said "I wanted to tell you that I got the kids a couple gifts" he was looking at the floor "I hope that is ok." I walked up to him and tilted his chin up so he was looking at me "It is fine Jamie" I smiled "I would never stop you from giving them a gift." He smiled and nodded "Oh yeah mom said to tell you that when you are done" he motioned between me and Paul "to come help them finish" I smiled and hugged him.

I went back in the kitchen to finish up the cooking while Paul, Mike, and Jamie started to watch a game. We were all cooking again for a long while when Nick appeared with a smile on his face holding the phone out to me, "dad wants you, love you" he kissed my cheek and took off out the back door after I grabbed the phone. "Hey Sam what's up with our guy" I asked and he laughed "just tell me." "Well nothing much I think he just missed me and wanted to touch base. As all ways I fixed it all and the world is perfect again." I laughed hard "Yeah oh so perfect, I will have to ask Lee and Emi if that is true" he growled and I smiled. "Ok shut it," he laughed "is Paul there" I told him yes and called "Paul, dad want's you," then I returned to my brother, "thanks I will see you in a couple of days." I said my good buys and handed the phone to an anxious Paul "Hey dad" he answered putting the phone to his ear before walking upstairs and I shook my head.

When I turned all the eyes were on me in question and I raised an eye brow. MieMie broke the silence "well he called Sam, dad" I nodded and she went on "just confusing." I chuckled then explained about how looks at Em and Sammy as his parents. I knew my mom had more questions but also knew she would wait till we had some quite time before dumping them on me. When we were done with the food we called for the boys and they all carried the food out to the vehicles and loaded them before we got ready to leave.

I went up and set out clothes for me and the kids. When I was ready I called the baby's up and then got Pam and Maury both washed up and dressed, but only after telling the twins, and wolfs to get ready. I took a shower and slipped into my black skinny jeans and my beautiful new festive Christmas shirt sissy bought me.

Almost a half hour later everyone was ready and waiting in the living room for me to hand out orders of who was going in what vehicle. "Alright, boys how full is the van?" I asked before I made my mind up I needed this info. "About half full" Jamie answered "I figured you would want at least to keep the cars to a minimum." I smiled "you're right, ok so that leaves us six seats" I thought for a minute. "Seth, Jake, Pam, Ness, Maury, and Emb will go in the van. The twins, Jamie, mom, and Mike will take the truck." I announced then I looked to my second family "you want to run?" I asked and they all nodded I laughed "fine, you know the way, right?" They nodded and so did I. Emb you follow Mike" I said as I threw the keys to them "we will meet you there" I motioned between Paul and myself. Everyone nodded so I smiled and started ushering the lot out of the house. After everyone was out I locked the door made sure all the kids where buckled in and then took Paul's hand and led him to my mustang.

We watched as everyone left and once I knew they were all out of earshot I turned to Paul and he raised an eyebrow. I smiled and asked "what's up with you why where you so nervous before you talked to Sam." He turned his head and looked at the floor and I waited for an answer I was not getting "Paul, come on you know you can tell me anything." He sighed and looked at me "I was just nervous about the party because the whole pride will be there." I had a feeling there was a little more to it but took his explanation.

I smiled and pecked his lips a couple of times when he acts his age it makes me realize how young he really is. "Honey, there is nothing you need to worry about I think you met just about everyone by now if not they will be excited to meet you. " He nodded "yeah I know that now and talking to dad just made it click even more." I nodded "well according to him he can fix the whole world over the phone." We both laughed "I wonder what Leah or mom would say about that" he said between chuckles. I nodded "that was my response when he said it to me." Once we settled down I smiled and kissed him one more time but pulled back just before it could get too involved saying "I think we better get going before they send out a search party."
