"What is that?" Sam asked disgust evident in her voice.
"Oatmeal and an apple." Jason explained as he set the plate in front of Sam.
"Why is that on my plate?" Sam asked pushing the plate away.
"You are pregnant and need vitamins." Jason replied as he placed another plate next to Lila.
"This is torture, you are really going to serve chocolate pancakes to her and feed me oats and apples like I am a cow." Sam mumbled, "And for your information I am not even three months pregnant yet and if you are going to start monitoring everything I do this early, you better start loving the couch."
"I am going to jump into the shower and when you guys are done we can see what Santa left." Jason smiled as he ignored what Sam had said and left the room.
"Daddy is mean." Lila, "He said no presents till after breakfast." Lila added as she took a sip of orange juice.
"Sweetie, if you help Mommy you can open a present right now." Sam smiled as she quickly got up and threw the oatmeal out.
"Okay." Lila laughed as her mother placed a gift on the table.
"You know mommy has a baby in her tummy right?"
"Yup, it's squirrel."
"Squirrel?"
"Aunt Maxie said that all little babies look like squirrels when their in your tummy." Lila explained as she shoved some pancake into her mouth.
"Well the baby makes Mommy really hungry and Daddy only wants to feed Mommy healthy food." Sam explained as Lila stuck her tongue out when Sam said healthy food.
"I share with Mommy and squirrel." Lila said proudly as she pushed her plate towards her mom and Sam placed the gift in front of the little girl.
"You know it is not too late to jump on a plane right now." Patrick said with a smile as he pulled Robin closer to him.
"Well we are going to have to go, it turns out it's just us now. Sam texted me last night that Lucky got called in and Lulu is going to Nik's for dinner instead with Cameron. Anyway my Dad would just find a reason to blame you if I didn't show up." Robin retorted as she make her way out of the bed.
"Where do you think you are going?" Patrick asked as he pulled her back towards him, "If you are making me spent all Christmas day with your father you are going to make it up to me." He added as he pulled her into a kiss.
"We have to get ready, I told my Mom we would be there at twelve to help cook." Robin moaned as she pulled away from him, "but I bet we could save time if we took a shower together." Robin smirked after seeing Patrick's expression. The doctor did not need anymore encouragement and quickly tossed Robin over his shoulder and headed towards the bathroom.
"How did you manage to pull this off again?" Matt asked as he handed Maxie a cup of coffee.
"I told my parents that I was staying at Sam's to watch Lila open gifts." Maxie explained as she took the coffee.
"They fell for that?" Matt asked a little shocked.
"My dad yes and my mother didn't but she said as long as he isn't involved in anything illegal she is happy for me." Maxie laughed just as a puppy jumped on the bed, "Oh crap, I was supposed to drop him off Sam's for Lila. Thank you so much for keeping him here by the way." Maxie added as she gave Matt a quick kiss and grabbed her clothes.
"No problem, are you coming back after you stop by Sam's?" Matt asked through the door as he got dressed too.
"Yeah, I have enough clothes here to find something to wear to my parents." Maxie yelled from the bathroom.
"I don't know why you don't just move in." Matt said with a smile as he watched the door flung open and Maxie standing there with a look of shock.
"Are you asking me to move in?"
"I thought that was obvious, you spend a lot of time here anyway and it's close to the office."
"Matt, I don't know."
"You would be out of your parents house and wouldn't have to lie anymore." Matt retorted hoping to sway her opinion.
"How about a trial period?"
"What does that mean?"
"I'll move in with you and see how it goes." Maxie replied as she pulled him to her and gave him a passionate kiss.
"Thank you so much Mom and Dad." Kristina gushed as she looked at her latest Christmas present, a gray Ford Focus sat in the driveway.
"You earned it Sweetheart, you have been doing great in school." Alexis beamed as she pulled her second youngest into a hug.
"Do you think I could take it for a test drive?" Kristina asked as she gave the puppy dog eyes and pout that all the Scorpio girls had mastered.
"As long as you are back in an hour, your sisters are coming." As soon as Mac gave her permission she shot towards the car and took off.
"At least she drives better than Maxie." Mac mumbled as he headed back into the house.
"Let's hope you don't take after them or your father when it comes to driving." Alexis whispered to Molly as they followed Mac into the house.
"Mom got Krissy a car." Maxie repeated as she sat at the kitchen table.
"Yup and she was supposed to be back twenty minutes ago." Molly replied as she played with her new Kindle.
"Does that really shock anyone?" Robin replied as she heard the front door open and saw Patrick appear in the doorway.
"You three are going to want to see this." He told the girls before heading back into the living room.
"What's gotten into him?" Maxie asked as she stood up.
"He is scared that Dad is going to threaten him again." Robin retorted as she headed towards the living room.
The three were greeted by an angry looking Mac who was staring at the front door where Sam stood holding a Chocolate Lab puppy and behind her stood Jason carrying a giggling Lila.
"Sam, Jason I am glad you could come." Alexis greeted as she hugged her daughter and granddaughter, "And who is this little guy?" She added as she saw the puppy that Sam was holding.
"Meeko. Santa brought him." Lila exclaimed as Jason set her down.
"Her new obsession, Pocahontas." Sam explained as she lowered the puppy.
"Please just tell me he is dropping you off." Mac called from his armchair.
"No, Mom invited Jason over for dinner." Sam answered as she took off her and than Lila's coat.
"Now why would you go and do that?" Mac asked looking toward his wife.
"I thought it was best for Lila, that both her parents are together for the holidays." Alexis replied.
"I thought you were on my side, what's next are we going to invite Sonny over for tea." Mac yelled as he stood up, "I will be back, I have a call to make." He added as he headed toward the office.
"So where is Kristina?" Sam asked as she looked around the room.
"She took her new car for a spin." Molly replied as she sat on the couch next to Robin.
"She is late, thirty minutes to be exact." Maxie said innocently as she sat on the arm of the couch, "She is showing just how responsible she is, but I am sure she stopped to help some old lady." Maxie added with a smirk towards Sam.
"Maybe it was Tracy." Sam smiled as she lifted Lila on to her lap.
"I hope she would hit the old witch." Alexis mumbled but stopped when she saw all eyes on her, "but she should be here by now." She coughed just as the door swung open to show Kristina and Kiefer standing in the doorway.
"Jason, why don't you watch the game with us." Patrick offered as he nodded toward the door, where Matt was waiting.
"Sure." Jason replied before quickly looking at Sam who just gave him a quick nod and handed Lila to him.
"Hey, Mom I went by to Kiefer's house to show him my car and that's when I found out he was all alone on Christmas, Mom. I could not just let him stay there, so I invited him for dinner." Kristina replied as she grabbed Kiefer's hand.
"She is good, there is no way Mom is going to yell at her with a crowd." Molly commented as she looked up from her Kindle.
"Kiefer, you are more than welcome to stay, Kristina we will talk about your driving privileges later."Alexis replied as she sat down.
"How is that possible? Not even a traffic ticket?" Mac questioned into the phoned as he entered the room, "No, thanks for looking." He replied as he shut the phone. "He is clean Alexis, no standing warrants or anything." Mac sighed as he looked at his wife.
"Honey, we have more pressing matters," Alexis noted as she turned toward where Kristina stood.
"Who the hell are you?" Mac asked as he zeroed in on how close the boy was standing to his daughter.
"Daddy, this is Kiefer. Mom said he could stay for dinner."
"Oh did she." Mac replied as he looked at his wife, "I am going to my man cave to watch the game. I only want to be disturb when dinner is ready." Mac called as he headed toward the TV room.
"Man cave?"
"Should we have told him the guys are in there?" Sam asked before she heard a loud yell from across the house.
"I am going to bring them so drinks." Robin replied as she stood up, "God knows Dad will need it."
"At least Lila is there as a buffer." Maxie mumbled as she watched Alexis leave the room.
"Well as fun as this is Kiefer and I are going to my room." Kristina said as he pulled him up the stairs.
"She just keeps pushing it doesn't she." Sam added.
"Hey." Jason mumbled as he stood in the doorway of Sam's old room.
"How's the game?" Sam smiled as she coved Lila who was out cold on the bed.
"Okay, Mac is in a better mood thanks to Robin, he is no longer complaining about how all the women in his life have turned against him."
"Thank you for coming." Sam mumbled as she hugged him.
"No problem, I am just happy we are giving this another chance." Jason smirked as he gave her a kiss.
"It means a lot to me, you putting up with my Dad and everything."
"So, I no longer have to sleep on couch?"
"Nope, I want you next to me." Sam smirked as there was a knock on the door.
"This brings back memories." Jason smirked as he pulled away from Sam.
"Yeah, but you don't have to sneak out the window or hide under the bed." Sam replied as she opened the door.
"Mom, want you in her room." Molly replied as she walked into the room.
"Okay, Thanks Moll."
"I better get back to the other." Jason replied as he left the room.
"I am glad you two are back together." Molly smiled.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"It's obvious Sam, the way he can't take his eyes off you or he is always finds an excuse to touch you. You two are soul mates." Molly gushed as she and Sam headed into the hallway.
"Secret Molly." Sam called as she headed towards her parents room.
"I love you girls, I really do. I hoped that you girls always knew you could come to me for anything. I know that your father and I have not always been supportive of who you date but I want you to know that you can always come to me." Alexis replied as she stood in front of her three oldest.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Maxie asked a little unsure.
"The secrets, Robin when you first started dating Patrick, Sam, why you and Jason broke up and Maxie you and Matt dating. I found all these out from other people, know something this big I want you to share it with me, not hid it. This is a time for happiness."
"I am not sure how you found out but Matt asked me to move in with him."
"Patrick proposed, I just was waiting for the right time, I mean mostly with Dad not you Mom."
"I am giving Jason a second chance." All the girls blabbed at once.
"What?" Alexis asked a little confused.
"Umm, you wanted us to share with you." Maxie spoke as she looked to her sisters who looked just as confused.
" I was talking about what I found in the bathroom." Alexis mumbled as she held up a pregnancy test.
"No way in hell that is mine." Maxie yelled.
"Don't look at me." Robin replied, "Even if it was why would I do that here." Robin added as she looked at Maxie.
"How about Sam, she is the most sexual active out of any of us." Maxie countered.
"Yeah, it is mine." Sam mumbled as she look Robin in the eye.
"Okay well this little talk has been very eventful I am going to check on the ham." Alexis replied with a small smile as she quickly exited the room.
"Alright, why admit to that?" Robin asked as she turned to her sister.
"Wait you are not pregnant?"
"No, she is but there is no way Sam would take a test here or leave it in the bathroom trash." Robin explained.
"You knew and I didn't." Maxie accused a little hurt.
"I was going to tell you."
"So if it wasn't any of our and wasn't Mom's than whose is it?" Maxie questioned.
"Kristina." Robin and Sam replied.
