A/N: Sorry this has taken ages to update, but exams took over. There is only one chapter left now. It's so sad. I don't want this fic to end. :(

Enjoy

The next day Addison awoke slowly and blinked a few times, adjusting to the light. She gave a small yawn and stretched before curling into Derek's side again.

"Morning sleepy head." He smiled and kissed her hair, smiling.

"Morning." She smiled and kissed Jessica's forehead, who was fast asleep on Derek's chest.

"She sleeps well."

"She does, it's good." Addison grinned and looked up at him.

"Merry Christmas, Ads." He pecked her lips.

"Merry Christmas, Der, merry Christmas, Jess." Addison kissed her daughter who slowly began to stir and blinked at her mother who cooed at her before picking her up for a hug. "We should go down and open our presents."

"Yeah." Derek smiled and sat up before getting out of bed and following Addison down the stairs.

"Morning." Nicola smiled at them and cooed at Jessica. "How did she sleep last night? I only heard her cry once." Nicola took Jessica from Addison and gave her a cuddle.

"She woke up about four times I think it was, once because she woke up and was alone so we took her in with us, and the others it was for food." Addison smiled and leaned back into Derek.

"That's good." Nicola smiled and tickled Jessica slightly who gurgled and reached for Nicola's hair. "Are you ready to open your presents, little one?"

"I know I am." Jamie smiled at them as he walked out from the kitchen. "Let's go and open them." Nicola handed Jessica back to her mother and they walked into the living room, sitting down on the floor around the Christmas tree. "Right." Jamie started handing presents out to people and Addison handed Jess to him as she opened a present.

"Hey, Jess, look at this," Addison smiled and held up a stuffed pink rabbit that Nicola and Jamie had bought her. "What do you think huh?" Jessica looked at it and blinked before reaching forward, grabbing an ear with her hands and taking it from her mother. "I think she likes it."

"Yeah, she does." They all grinned as they watched her.

-

By eleven o'clock all the presents had been opened and everyone was dressed and ready.

"Sorry that we can't stay here and have Christmas dinner with you but we always go to my parents on Christmas day and Jamie's on Boxing Day."

"It's fine, Nikki, honestly. We're going to Derek's anyway, spend some time with his family as well." Addison smiled.

"Okay, have a good time and look after little Jess here." Nicola smiled at the little baby who was strapped to Addison's front.

"Oh we will." Addison grinned and Derek helped her put her coat on before she put on a hat and scarf, zipping up her coat so Jessica was nice and warm against her chest. "We'll see you when you come back, have fun." Addison and Derek said goodbye before they left the house and made their way towards Derek's.

"Hmm, she looks cosy there." Derek smiled as he looked at Jessica all snuggled up against her mother and wrapped his arm tighter around Addison's waist.

"She is. It's nice to have her close."

"You're not going to use the buggy until she's older are you?" He grinned and Addison blushed before shaking her head. "It's okay, I don't blame you."

It didn't take them long before they arrived at his house. He opened the door and let Addison walk in first. He shut the door behind them and helped Addison take off her coat before taking off his own. "Your nose is red." He smiled and kissed her nose, making her giggle.

"Derek! Addi! Jess!!!" Emily and Beth came running down the stairs and towards their brother before hugging him and Addison before turning their attention to Jessica who blinked at them. "Can we hold her, pleaseeeeeee?"

Derek laughed at their enthusiasm. "I doubt you'll get to hold her yet."

"Why not?"

"Because Ads isn't going to give her up easily, you'll have to wait a while."

Addison smiled and placed a kiss on her daughter's head as they moved into the living room.

-

Twenty minutes later, everyone was sat around the tree and opening their presents. Jessica was snuggled up in Addison's arms as she lent back against the chair.

Derek smiled as he opened a present for Jessica from his sisters. "Hmm, what do you think of that, Jessie, huh?" Derek held up the pink baby blanket with Jessica written across it.

"Thank you, girls, it's so sweet." Addison smiled and shifted Jessica slightly so Derek could wrap her up in it.

-

By ten to twelve every present had been opened and they were happy with what they had been given. "Hey there's one more." Emily reached into the tree and pulled out the wrapped box. "It's for Addi and Jess." She held the box out towards Addison who took it with one hand.

"Here, give me Jessie." Derek held his arms out for Jessica who snuggled up in his arms once Addison had carefully placed her there. Very carefully she began to open the box, gasping when she saw what was inside and tears glistened in her eyes.

"What is it?"

With shaky hands Addison removed the two lockets from inside the box and held them up for everyone to see.

"There's something written on the back."

Addison turned them over and read the inscription, the first one read:

To Addison, you are an amazing person who I am so glad to have met and fallen in love with. Our family means everything to me. I love you, Derek xxx.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she read the second one.

To Jessie, my gorgeous little girl. You are a fighter and are going to break some hearts when you are older. I love you baby, Daddy xxx.

Addison looked up at Derek with tears flowing freely.

"Open them up." Derek urged and watched her expression as she did. Addison's locket had two pictures of Jessica and a lock of her hair, while Jessica's locker held a photo of Addison smiling widely, looking beautiful, and a photo of herself.

"Thank you, Derek." Addison looked up at him. "They're perfect, they really are." She lent up and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

"I'm glad you like them." He smiled softly at her. "Em, take Jessie for me, and I'll help Addi put her locket on." He handed their daughter to Emily and turned to Addison, putting her locket around her neck.

"It's beautiful." Addison smiled at him and kissed him again.

"Jessie can wear hers when she's a bit older."

"Yeah." Addison nodded and looked at her daughter sleeping peacefully in her youngest aunt's arms. Everything was going to be okay.
