"Come on you two" Nikki heard Harry whisper to someone as she lay in bed. She had woken up by Harry climbing out of bed fifteen minutes ago and she had no doubt where he was going. Smiling to herself she heard the bedroom door squeak open slightly then felt a slight pressure on the end of the bed.

"Mummy" Edward squealed as he launched himself up the bed and onto his mother. Nikki laughed slightly as she turned over and he fell onto his stomach onto hers. Graham soon followed and sat on the bed next to his mother and brother. Nikki groaned as Edward sat up onto her stomach and leaned down to give her a sloppy kiss. She turned her head to Graham and pouted.

"Kiss?" she asked and he grinned and gave her one before she looked up and saw Harry walking back into the room with Darius in his arms. "I hope you didn't wake him"

"I didn't" Harry replied as he sat on the bed next to Graham and placed a kiss on his son's hair "Merry Christmas" he grinned as he leant down to kiss Nikki who sat up slightly so Edward was sitting on her legs rather than her stomach.

"Merry Christmas" Nikki replied and kissed her two older sons before leaning over and placing a kiss on Darius' nose causing him to smile innocently up at her. "His first smile on Christmas day" she mumbled a smile gracing he features and ran her hand over her youngest son's hair, it was already nearly all brown, the same shade as his father's.

"Come on then" Nikki sighed as she pulled the duvet back from her body causing Edward to fall, none to gracefully, onto the bed. His squeal of laughter echoed around the room and Nikki laughed as she reached down to pick him up, she then allowed Graham to wrap his arms around her neck and she picked him up to.

"You two are heavy" she told them and they just grinned at her "Shall we go and see if Santa has been?"

"Santa" Graham clapped, although they didn't understand the concept of him yet they could recognise that Santa was the large man dressed in red with a long white beard. Every time they passed a replica of the man they pointed and said his name.

"I suppose you better come as well" she said dryly to Harry but her lips twitched as she tried and failed to hold in a smile.

When they walked into the living room Nikki placed the boys on the carpet and turned the overhead lights on as she passed the switch. She then leant down and turned the Christmas tree lights on causing the tree to light up and the twins to laugh. She felt two arms wrap around her waist as she stood up and turned to say something but was silenced by Harry's lips on hers. Nikki wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him closer then broke away as she felt something tug on her pyjama leg. They both look down and saw Graham standing with his fist grasped around the material.

"Mummy Santa" he said and Nikki grinned and crouched down next to her son. She placed a kiss on his cheek and pointed to the Christmas stockings on the hearth by the fireplace that were filled with presents.

After helping the twins and Darius to undo their stockings Harry and Nikki started to get the house ready for when Sam and Leo were due, they had agreed not to open the presents under the tree until the two missing guests had arrived. The twins were sitting in their highchairs eating their breakfast, or spreading it around their faces as they were doing, and Darius was asleep in his Moses basket in the living room wearing a baby grow with cartoon pictures of Rudolf scattered around on it. After finding a Santa hat in one of the Christmas boxes, Edward had insisted on wearing it and every time Harry or Nikki tried to prize it away from him he started to have a tantrum so they thought it easier if he kept it for the time being.

"How long until Sam and Leo get here?" Nikki asked as she finished cleaning up after the twin's breakfast. Harry glanced at the clock.

"Two hours" he replied and handed Nikki a mug of coffee which she accepted gratefully. "Until then I have you all to myself" he whispered against her lips and was just about to kiss her when Darius cried from the living room. "Or not" he mumbled while Nikki giggled and sipped her drink.

"I'll get him" Nikki said as she placed her mug on the table next to them and walked into the living room. She couldn't help but grin when she picked him up and cast her eyes over the baby grow he was wearing. Clutching him close to her she walked into the kitchen and tried to soothe the crying baby.

"Doesn't he look handsome in this?" she asked Harry as he turned around to look at his son. He grinned as he saw the little Rudolf's covering the baby grow and ran his hand over Darius' hair. The baby stopped crying and his breaths were coming in little sobs until he calmed down completely and grasped as his mother's pyjama top, sucking at his bottom lip and making little squeaking noises every-so-often.

"Has Edward parted with his hat yet?" Harry asked and Nikki giggled and shook her head.

"No, but he looks so cute with it on"

Harry had to agree and smirked.

"Well he is my son"

Nikki rolled her eyes and hit him gently on the arm before turning and walking back into the living room where the twins were playing with some of the toys they had in their stocking. More were still brightly wrapped under the tree waiting for when Leo and Sam arrived. Nikki sat herself on the sofa and moved Darius into a more comfortable position on her shoulder and rubbed his back gently trying to get him off to sleep again. Turning her head she placed a kiss on his cheek and placed her hand on his head to support it before looking back at Edward and Graham. Her thoughts strayed to that night when she was in University and she wondered what her life would have been like if she had kept the baby. Her eyes filled with tears when she thought about it and Harry came and sat by her.

"What's wrong beautiful?" he asked quietly as he saw her tears and Nikki shook her head and let out a small sob.

"Nothing I'm fine"

Harry gave her a look and Nikki relented.

"I was just thinking about what would have happened if I had kept…" she sniffed slightly and Harry knew what she was talking about "Sorry, I shouldn't have thought that. Not on Christmas day"

"It's alright" Harry whispered as he kissed her forehead "I just don't want you getting upset, at any time of the year"

"It's just with him turning up again, it brought some things back"

"Forget about him Nikki" Harry said almost forcibly "He's gone and he's not coming back, he wont ever be back to harm you okay?"

Nikki nodded and gave Harry a watery smile as he leant down and kissed her.

"Okay"

"Good" Harry nodded "Now why don't you give me this handsome little boy, who I still say takes after his father" Nikki couldn't help but giggle at this and Harry continued with a smile on his face "and you go and get ready because I know how long it takes a woman to get ready"

Nikki glared playfully at him as she transferred Darius to his father's arms and stood up. Harry stole a quick kiss before letting Nikki go and watching her walk out of the room. He looked down at Darius who was looking at him with his deep brown eyes.

"Your mummy is an amazing woman" he told the two month old who just stared up at him.
