Yeah, these first few chapters are going to be more sweet and family-oriented, so sorry if you like it when I either get them shot or blown up…haha. So really, I have no clue why I'm writing about Christmas in the middle of July. Oh well, I asked Santa for Sam last year and I got a trampoline—so he let me down, and I was really mad and gah, its was just a sad day. Anyways, haha. Oh and Chachakid gave me inspiration for one gift! Bwahahaha. (:
Enjoy.
"Jules, sweetie—You go take care of your little darling, and I'll take care of this." Sam's mother griped as Jules continued to vacuum. "Thanks so much." Jules hugged her as she ran to pick up her crying baby from the girls' arms.
"Mom! I think she has issues, she wont shut her mouth!" Alexis said as she beat her head against the wall. Jessica was rocking her back and forth, but no luck. The girls scattered when she said she needed to be fed, but then came Sam who walked right in. "Hey Sweetie, Aw, look at you being all mom-ish." He said, walking over to kiss her gently as she sat in the rocking chair they had bought. "I'm going to go check in on whatever my mom is doing, then I'm going to head out for a little shopping. Jules giggled, "Okay." As she kissed him once more and watched him leave. She laughed once he was gone, it was Christmas Eve and he was just getting shopping done.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sam knew he had to find the perfect gift. Last Christmas, they weren't married yet—just dating. He got her a beautiful silver bracelet that she still wears everyday. He wanted to get her something even more special. Shopping had never been his greatest skill, but he figured if it was for her—he'd figure something out. Sam walked straight into a jewelry store where he started to search. He wanted to get her a beautiful diamond necklace. He sat down to look at the different diamonds until he found the perfect one. As the man set it in it's box, Sam smiled as he thought of the look on her face when she would open it. He headed off, but on the ride home, he had to make one last stop. He couldn't let her be all smiles on Christmas morning. He knew the only thing to piss her off more would be to go shopping for her in Victoria's Secret. The last time he had been in there was when the whole fiasco with the team occurred while they were securing the mall.
He shopped around for over half an hour, picking up stares from others as he shot his eyes back at them. He continued to search until he bumped into someone, "Sorry Sir." He said pushing past him until he realized who it was. Ed stood, shaking his head as he crossed his arms. "Already trying to get her pregnant again, eh?" Sam laughed, "No—Not yet." Ed shook his head as he said, "You know—She is really going to kill you if you buy that." Sam grinned and raised his eyebrows, "Strangely, I don't care—as long as I die after I see it on her, I am all good. What are you doing here?" Ed's face dropped, "Oh I'm just buying myself some panties and ooh, I found a nice bra, it was quite comfortable." Both men laughed as Ed shook merchandise in his hand, "Same goal buddy."
They both headed for the check out desk. "Clark wanted me to bring him, but I was scared of what he would buy or who he would buy it for, so I told him I decided to go buy plants instead." Sam laughed, "You know—If your kid and my kid start something, its going to get quite awkward between us. Jules already told me about her surprise for Alexis." Ed laughed, "Please—I don't think I could be Jules' brother-in-law, seriously—She would kill me." Sam glanced over, "Don't worry buddy—I would kill you first." Ed's eyes widened as they both laughed and reached the desk.
"Hey I remember you!" The lady at the desk said to Sam. He looked at her for a moment—It was the woman who Jules made him apologize to back when they were last there. "No you don't." His eyes wandered. "Yes—Your fiancé got mad at you and she made you apologize to me—It was a really long time ago, almost a year!" Ed snickered as Sam rolled his eyes and completed his purchase.
As they both left the store Ed looked over to him, "You know I don't approve of you buying that for my little sister, right?" Sam laughed, "Well—You'll get over it." The both split as they continued to laugh silently.
---------------------------------------------------
"I'm back." Sam said, walking into the house. Alexis skipped up to him as he hugged her tightly. He made his way through the house to find his mom cooking dinner. "Shh." She said, placing her finger to her lips as she pointed to Sam and Jules' bedroom. He looked over to see Jules fast asleep on their bed. He smiled as he could also see Carly sleeping soundly in her crib. Jessica was lying on the couch, watching tv quietly after a long morning of helping take care of Carly. Sam continued making his way to their bedroom where he climbed up next Jules. He kissed her gently as she continued to sleep. He rolled close to her, pulling her tightly against him. "Hey." She whispered as she opened her eyes slowly. He smiled as he stroked his hand up and down her back, "Hey." He whispered in reply. She nestled her head against his chest, closing her eyes again. Sam pulled the cover out from under her and tucked her in bed, kissing her forehead before he walked out quietly.
"Thanks for being here mom." Sam told his mother as he walked back into the kitchen. She smiled, "No—thanks for letting me be here." She kissed her son on the cheek as she returned to cooking a huge dinner. "We love that you're here." She smiled, "Well dinner is almost ready—so get to the table." Alexis and Jessica bolted for the table as Sam went to get Jules.
"Jules—sweetie—dinner's ready." He told her, stroking her cheek gently. She nodded as she lifted herself out of bed. Sam smiled as he kissed her gently, stroking her hair so it all fell flat. "Let's go." He said, leading her to by Carly's crib before they made their way to the kitchen.
During their meal, Jules would get up constantly to check on Carly. "I just want to make sure she's okay." She continued to tell them. Once dinner was finally over, everyone split to go wrap gifts. Sam's mom was sure to turn on every Christmas movie that was on tv, on every tv in the house. Sam and Jules opted to go on to bed, knowing they would be up at some point, taking care of Carly.
The house was lit for Christmas eve, and as night fell—Christmas Day rose quickly.
"Merry Christmas!" Alexis shouted as Sam and Jules both woke up, Sam had his arms tightly around her as they pulled out of bed. Sam's mom was already in the kitchen making coffee as Jessica was already lifting Carly from her crib to hand off to Jules. "Merry Christmas girls." She told them, kissing each of them. Sam walked over to her slowly with his hands behind his back. He pulled out mistletoe, and held it over them. She giggled as she handed Carly to Alexis, then took his cheeks in her hands as she kissed his passionately. "Merry Christmas." She whispered against his lips. He smiled as they walked into the living room.
Sam's mother gave out many gifts to everyone. The girls were almost more fascinated by the bows on her gifts than the actual gifts themselves.
The gifts Jules had bought for the girls were from she and Sam. When she handed over both boxes, the girls anxiously unwrapped them. Alexis squealed with excitement when she immediately ran and plugged in her new laptop into the wall so it could charge immediately. Jessica on the other hand froze for a moment, staring at the amazing gift she had just received. "A few conditions Jessica—." Jules spoke up. "It's only to be used in the range until you get certified. You also have to promise that you'll always keep it locked and store it in the safe with me and Sam's guns." Jessica smiled as she looked over to Sam and Jules with smiles across their faces. "You seriously—You guys got me a gun—This—Oh my gosh it's amazing!" She ran over to hug them both. "Your mom has good taste in guns." Sam joked. Both girls enjoyed their gifts tremendously. They continued to unwrap presents until Alexis came across something. "Mom! What the hell?" Jules bursted out laughing as Alexis held up a box of condoms. "You never know—I just want to be sure that I don't become a grandma—Being a mother is hard enough." Everyone laughed as Alexis blushed with embarrassment. "Oh nice—Real traditional Mom." Jules shook her head, "No when have we ever been traditional?"
"Never." Everyone laughed.
Alexis and Jessica bought multiple gifts for everyone, ranging from a new blender for Jules since Sam made hers explode a long time ago when he was attempting her smoothie recipe, then many Police Chase video games for Sam.
Sam's mom held onto Carly for most of the morning. She loved holding small babies, it reminded her when Sam was born. She loved to be around the kids—they made her smile for the first times since her husband died.
"Sammy." Jules called out, tossing a box to him. She got him a new gun case and the GPS he had been dying for every time they walked into an electronics store. He kissed her gently as he pulled out a necklace box from a bag. "Open it." He told her, still kissing her. She pulled away slowly as she opened it. Choked up, she couldn't speak, "Sammy—Sam—It's—It's beautiful." She placed her hand on his neck, pulling him down to kiss her. He moved his hand blindly to the box as he pulled the necklace from the case. She turned around as he linked it around her neck. A tear rolled down her cheek, "Sam, I love it—Its gorgeous." She told him, looking in the mirror to see the diamond hanging around her neck. He kissed her neck gently as he whispered into her ear, "I have another gift—But let's wait until tonight." She giggled as he grinned at her. Sam's mother was in love with Jules' new necklace for the rest of the day.
The family spent their Christmas together as they made a huge lunch, and dinner. Carly's first Christmas was great as she spent the day in her parent's arms and her grandmother's. Jules moved the crib into the nursery where Jessica was sleeping, and offered to listen out for her overnight. Alexis headed on to bed, she sat there for hours, talking to Clark over her new webcam. He about died laughing when Alexis showed him the condoms Jules bought. They laughed and talked all night long.
Jessica kissed her little baby sister goodnight as she climbed into bed and watched the baby wriggle around in the crib.
Sam's mother fell asleep soundly in bed, knowing how happy a Christmas she had with her son and his family. It was way better than being alone on a military base. She knew she needed to move on and get away from there—and let go of the past.
Sam and Jules on the other hand, spent their night alone. Sam came into the bedroom with his last gift. She giggled as she pulled out lingerie from a box. "Sam—You seriously bought lingerie." He smirked and laughed, "Too many people shop at that store—I saw that woman you made me apologize to, and our friend Ed Lane." She laughed, "You saw Ed?" He nodded, "Yes and it was quite embarrassing—now change." She shook her head, "So demanding guys are these days." He grinned as she got up and walked to the bathroom. A few minutes later he heard the door open, she smiled as she walked towards him, pushing him back onto the bed as she pinned him down. "I love my gift." She said with a smile as she lied on top of his shirtless body. He raised his eyebrows and nodded, "So do I." He pulled her into a passionate kiss as they rolled across the bed. "Merry Christmas." She told him, being pinned down to the bed by his strong arms. He chuckled, "You too."
