19th December

Spinelli's POV

"It's the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!" The choir song outside as I walked past holding Rory's hand.
It was Christmas and this town was famous for not having any snow so there was no snow but that didn't mean it was cold.

"So, what do you want Santa to bring you this Christmas?" I asked Rory.

"I don't know."

I giggled. He was so cute.

"Well, what do you think you like?" I asked again.

"Baseball!" Rory smiled.

I laughed remembering the time TJ and I played baseball with him. I was behind ready to catch it while TJ threw the ball gently to him. Rory missed every time but he loved it and had fun.

"Okay, so we'll ask Santa for a baseball bat and ball?"
Rory nodded excitedly. I laughed.

…

I was due January the seventh and it was nineteenth of December. Time was coming close by.
"So, how's my beautiful family?" TJ greeted as we came into the house.
"Daddy!" Rory ran to TJ.

"Hey bud!" TJ smiled.

"Santa's gonna get me baseball!" Rory shouted.
"Have you been a good boy but?" TJ asked in a serious tone.

Rory's face fell and looked at me.
"You've been a very good boy, Rory."
I then felt a little kick. "The baby's kicking again." I laughed.

TJ ran over and put his hand lightly on my big bump.

The little pounds hit and was pounded onto TJ's hand. TJ smiled.
"It's going to be a strong one, isn't it?"

"Yes."

22th December

Ding, Dong.

I opened the door to see Tanya, our next door neighbour.
"Hey Spinelli." She smiled.

"Tanya! Hi, I wasn't expecting you over."
"Well, it's a surprise."
"Please come in."

…

We both laughed. Tanya was our next door neighbour and moved in around Halloween time. She's engaged and works as a midwife.

"So., how's the baby?" She smiled.
I started to rub my stomach.
"Brilliant. I'm so close. I don't want it to be still born or anything bad to happen." I said aloud thinking about all the miscarriages before this one.
"I undestand." Tanya sighed. "Well, you going to give birth home?"

"Deffinately not!" I said shocked. "I couldn't do it. I'd feel I don't know it's just..."
"You want to be around people who know what they're doing, right?"
"Exactly!" I quickly agreed. "I don't want this one to be lost too like the others."
Tanya smiled. "Well, Paul's coming home soon so I better get over there."
"Yeah, thanks for coming over. TJ and Rory are away shopping so I was a little lonely."
"Hey, no bother." Tanya smiled kissing me on the check as she left. "Good bye little baby." Tanya smiled rubbing the baby. "What gender do you want this to be?"
"I'm hoping for a girl this time." I smiled.

"Bye-bye little girl." Tanya laughed. "I bet when she's born she'll be like her mother."
I laughed. "She will, I can tell."
I looked outside as I watched Tanya go over home.
"God!" I said to myself "I hope it snows."

24th December

There was a knock at the door.
"TJ?" I called from the kitchen. "Are you expecting someone?"
"No..."TJ opened the door.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Shouted people.
"Hello!" TJ laughed. "Merry Christmas!"

I walked out of the kitchen, drying my hands with the tea towl from washinf dishes.
"TJ, who is it?" I asked. I got to the door to see the gang and their family.

"Spinelli!" They all cheered.
"Merry Christmas guys, come on in."

The kids all went to play with each other and Rory. I could tell they made mountains of mess up stairs. But I didn't let it get to me. Gretchen, Valerie, Theresa and I went straight to the kitchen to make tea.
"So, Spinelli, how's you?"
"Great." I smiled holding my child.
We came out with the tea and I took my seat beside TJ.

"Wow, Spinelli! You're so big!" Vince teased.
"Won't be for long." I laughed.

"When you due?" Mikey asked.

"January the seventh." TJ smiled proudly looking down at me and I looked up at him before resting my head on his shoulder.

We talked for hours and hours not realizing the time.

"When's Santa coming?" The kids shouted running down the stairs.
I looked up at the time to see it was now ten.

"He'll be coming soon, let's get you all to bed." I smiled getting up.

I then stood still.

TJ's POV

The kids rampaged through the house wanting to know when Santa was coming. I knew it was time for everyone to go.
He'll be coming soon, let's get you all to bed." Spinelli smiled and stood up.

Suddenly she stood completely still with fear in her eyes.

"Spinelli?" We all asked as we looked up at her.
Suddenly something wet touched my foot and I looked down to see it was coming for Spinelli.

"Oh my God!" I gasped.
The others looked at me and saw what I was looking at. They then brought their heads done and gasped.

"I'm too early!" Spinelli shocked said.
