By the time they got to Christmas Town it was around noon on Christmas Eve. And after hours of sitting in the hearse they were very hyper. As soon as Jack helped Sally out of the car they were greeted by Mrs. Claus.
"Hello! I see you two are expecting a little one, and I see that you already have two children. My my how the years fly by! What are their names?"
"Well my oldest one is Sid, he's 12, the youngest is Jackie, she just turned 6 on Halloween, and Sally," Jack reached over to rub her belly, "Is pregnant with a set of twins. We're gonna name them Chris and Holly."
"How nice, Sally, when are you due?"
"Well, my due dates tomorrow."
"Well than what are you doing here!? Come inside, you need to lie down."
"Mrs. Claws is there a hospital around here?"
"Yes, we have one for if the elves get sick or injured."
"Good because I think that I'm gonna need it."
Later, it was starting to get dark out, and it was time for Santa to get ready to deliver his presents to the good boys and girls. Sally was lying on the couch, Jack was rubbing her shoulders, and Sid and Jackie were being good, after all it was Christmas time. All was well until Mrs. Claus ran into the room with some bad news.
"I have some bad news."
"What's wrong?"
"Santa's sick. He can't deliver presents to the children this year. Unless…"
"Unless what?" Jack asked
"Unless you deliver the presents for him."
"WHAT?! Don't you remember how I fuc…." Jack looked around the room and realized that his kids were in there, "screwed up Christmas last time!?"
"You didn't screw up DELIVERING the presents, you screwed up MAKING them."
"PLEASE DADDY!!!" Asked Jackie.
"Well…alright."
They didn't have time to make Jack a Santa outfit, they did let him wear the hat though. The elves had already loaded all the presents into the sleigh and Jack was already to go. He gave his kids and his wife a kiss and he was off. Sally waddled her way outside to see Jack take off. While he was gone Sally took some scraps of fabric and began to sew some clothes for the new babies. Jackie was playing with her dolls…voodoo dolls that is. And Sid was experiencing some sudden back and neck aches. After a while of making her brother moan from pain Jackie hid her dolls and went to sit with her mom.
"Mom can you give me a sewing lesson?"
"Sure thing honey, the first thing you have to do is hold the needle like…"
"Like what? Mom are you okay?"
"My water just broke."
"What does that mean?"
"I'm having the babies."
