Chapter 3
After everyone went to bed, Michelle went downstairs to put the presents under the tree.
"I thought you were sleeping" said DJ as she sat on the couch
"Been sleeping all day it seems" said Michelle
"I know the feeling" said DJ "Sucks this had to happen to you on Christmas"
After Michelle and DJ talked for a little, Michelle went back up to her bedroom and was asleep within seconds.
The next morning as Kelly rang into Michelle's room singing at the top of her lungs. "It's Christmas. It's Christmas. It's Christmas"
"I know, it's Christmas" said Michelle as she opened her eyes.
"Aren't you getting up?" said Danny when he came in "Everyone is downstairs waiting"
"I thought I had to stay in bed till I was better" said Michelle
"The twins have already been exposed to the chicken pox and so has Kelly now" said Danny "It is safe for you to come down and spend Christmas with the family"
Michelle was so excited. It had sucked being sick in bed the day before but today was Christmas. As she put her bathrobe around herself, she couldn't wait to spend the day with her family.
"Good Morning" Michelle said when she came downstairs. The house looked just as beautiful as it did two days ago when Michelle saw it. Her stocking was hanging on mantle waiting for her.
As Michelle opened her stocking, finding a pack of gum, some candy and a pair of fluffy socks. It was as simple as can be but it made her happy.
"Thank you" Michelle said with a smile
As the presents were handed out, each person got at least 3 but with Kelly, Nicky, Alex and Michelle that would be 7 since they were the youngest.
The first present Michelle opened was a locket with an M on it. As she opened it, a tear appeared in her eye. It was a picture of her Mom and her when she was a baby.
"This is so beautiful" said Michelle "and I love it" she smiled
"I knew you would" said Daddy
A few other presents Michelle got was a mini piano, a new painting set and a new pair of shoes.
"And" said Stephanie handing Michelle her last present
As Michelle unwrapped the box, and then opened it. She was surprised to see what was it in,
"You are giving me Mr. Bear" Michelle said
"Yep" said Stephanie "I know that is something you always wanted"
"Yeah" said Michelle "But Mr. Bear is yours"
"But now he is yours" Stephanie smiled
Michelle went up and gave Stephanie a big hug as well as her Dad and Vicki.
"I have an announcement" said DJ as she held Steve's hand "We are expecting".
Everyone started clapping right after this. As DJ and Steve got up, it seemed like everyone went over and gave each of them a hug. At first DJ thought she didn't want to become a Mom since losing her Mom was so hard but one night after a little too much to drink that is how It happened.
"It's twins" said DJ
"You are having twins" said Kelly "Cool" she clapped her hands.
Between it being Christmas and the news that DJ was expecting it was a Christmas to remember and Michelle even forgot at one point she had chicken pox.
