FITZ'S POV

"Fitz wake up!" Liv shook me as i felt Emmy climb onto me

"Yeah daddy i want to open presents!"

"As if you don't have enough!"

Liv pinched my arm as Emmy laughed and ran out of the room going downstairs

"Wake up" Liv leaned against me "i want to open presents too!"

I chuckled at her childish answer but remembered she never celebrated christmas so i sat up and watched as she grinned.

"It'd be cool if there was snow" she looked outside. She was still dressed in my navy t-shirt that was now hers and a pair of tights. Her hair was in a messy pony tail and she wore her glasses.

"We'll have snow tonight"

"It doesn't snow in California you freak" she followed me to the bathroom and watched me brush my teeth. She was being extra clingy today, not that i was complaining.

"It does in Alaska"

"We're going to the cabin?!" Her eyes lit up "Emmy will have so much fun"

"Emmy's spending another few days with my parents. We are going to Alaska. The two of us"

"Fitz?"

"We need some time to ourselves, to figure out our next move, communicate and we need to do that alone"

"What about Anna?"

"Anna switched her dates she'll be at the White house when we return and we'll have another christmas all over"

She pursed her lips "okay"

"Don't sound so enthusiastic" i pinched her side

She laughed and followed me downstairs

She opened the front door and i watched as she waved Tom and Hal along with Harrison over.

"Merry Christmas Sir, Liv" Harrison nodded

"Please come inside, get some coffee and breakfast before your day starts"

The three men all look surprised as i nodded. She never failed to surprise me

"Thank you Liv"

I watched as she took in the whole room after mom handed her a coffee.

"Alright stockings first" Mom said as we sat down on the couch. Teddy suddenly became more awake.

"Here's yours Liv" Big Gerry handed her a stocking as her eyebrows rose

"Wow, thank you"

"Did you not expect a stocking?" I whispered as i took mine from Big Gerry

"Not really" she ran her fingers over her name that was sewn onto the stocking. We opened our stockings and enjoyed all the knick knacks that were in it.

Emmy got hundreds of presents between all of us. Mostly toys but Liv got her new books and some jewlery she was begging us for.

"Here this is for you Mom, Dad" i handed them a pair of two tickets "From Liv and I"

"Wow" mom gasped "a trip to France"

"I knew how much you've always wanted to go to Europe so i told Fitz right after you told me" Liv smiled as mom and dad hugged us.

"Here sis, this one's for you" Teddy smiled as he handed her a gift. She had gotten a new watch and dresses from my parents and jewelry from Emmy.

"Wow" she whispered as she opened the christmas DVD packages

"You said christmas movies were your favourite so there's some you haven't seen and some you were watching yesterday"

"Thank you Teddy" she hugged him "i love it, i love all of my presents"

"Here daddy, this is for you. Momma helped me pick it out!"

I unwrapped the small box to reveal a rolex black watch

"I wanted to get you a bracelet but momma said boys don't wear jewlery" Emmy huffed. It was the exact one we had looked at when we went shopping

"She bought it with her own bank account too" Liv smiled . I knew she had put the money back in Emmy's account but it was the thought that counted.

"Thank you Em, i love it. I'll wear it every day"

Emmy grinned "here this one is from mommy"

Liv had gotten me a bunch of dress shirts, new pyjamas since she stole all of mine but when i opened the last box i was met with a small frame which held a collage of pictures of Emmy and Liv. Some were civilized photos, some were them sticking their tongues out or making silly faces. On the bottom of the wooden frame was an engraved message

'To the best daddy and husband anyone could ask for' love, your girls

"Wow" i whispered touching the frame. "I love it" i kissed Liv she turned bright red as Teddy whistled

"Okay your turn Liv, these are all from Fitz" Teddy brought over a bunch of bags

"We agreed on 3 presents" she scolded me

"I lied" i smiled as she opened the first box which revealed the black heels with red bottoms that she was dying to have. She squealed when she opened another box and pulled out a black celine purse and a deep green Prada purse.

"Fitz-"

"Last one" i smiled "this is for always sticking by my side even through all of the crap that's thrown our way" she opened the ring box that held a criss crossed gold ring. It was simple yet classic so it would never be outdated.

"I love it" she smiled and hugged me

"This one is from Caroline and i " Big Gerry handed her a box with a few smaller boxes. She unwrapped it and revealed a professional photography camera and some lenses.

"Teddy told us how much you loved taking photos so we thought it'd be good"

"It's amazing, thank you" Liv teared up as Teddy set up the tri pod.

"We need a family photo" Liv turned on the camera and set it up

"Fitz, don't you think we forgot a present?"Liv watched as Emmy's eyes lit up. I stood and went into the back room bringing back a box with a bunch of holes in it. i handed Emmy the box and sat down across from her.

"This is from mom and i "

She grinned and lifted the cover and gasped "oh my gosh!" She squealed revealing the little tea cup big she had been asking for since she watched uptown girls with Liv. Her theory was that since she was a ballerina and the little girl was she should get a tea cup pig too. And Liv talked me into since we could afford it and it wouldn't grow.

"You got her a pig?" Teddy laughed "what are you gonna name him em?"

"Wilbur! Just like Charolette's Web"

"Good choice" Liv smiled as she watched Emmy hold the piglet in a blanket as we all got into our place by the tree. Liv set the timer and ran back over to my side as we grinned at the camera.

LIV'S POV

"Have fun in Awaska mommy" Emmy pouted as Fitz carried our bags to the town car. I bent down and watched as she piglet squealed in circles around her.

"Hey, you're going to have SO much fun with Uncle Teddy and Poppy! I heard Nana's gonna make your favourite!"

"Peanut butter cookies?!"

"Yep" i laughed "you have to look after your piggy now okay?"

"Okay mommy i promise!"

"Good girl, i love you"

She smiled into her shoulder "i love you too momma" she hugged me and then launched herself into Fitz's arms

"I love you daddy"

"Love you too princess, call you later okay?"

"Okay" she waved

"You two have fun, don't worry about Em. She'll be fine" Caroline hugged us and sent us towards the car
