I Hope you all enjoy this Christmas Chapter. There are two surprises. I will have another one up in the next week or two. But please enjoy this and review! My Pm's are open for any ideas for this story or one shot!

It had been a week since Jay and Erin talked at Molly's told each other their stories. Both had a relaxed reaction. Which neither expected. Erin stood watching the snow fall from inside her house, she looked back at her christmas tree which was lit up with colorful lights and different ornaments, Alex had made, or some Daniel made when he was younger. She had just finished wrapping the last of her small presents.

It was 2 am and Daniel and Nadia was helping her. "What do we have to do now? Sleep?" Daniel asked laughing

"No. More like putting together her kitchen.." Erin laughed moving the boxes over. Daniel threw his head back then laughed.

"Oh hell no. I'm going to sleep." Erin laughed then started opening the boxes.

"You leave and you won't get your surprise tomorrow.." Daniel sat down and started putting it together.. Not knowing what the hell he was actually doing.

Nadia put her head down and fell asleep and soon after it was 4 am, Erin and Daniel were fast asleep snoring. Nadia laughed

"Erin, did you finish?" Erin shot her head up and looked around. "No shit. I need. I need a screwdriver."

"You really don't have a screwdriver?" Erin laughed

"I forgot. Daniel can you go with her?" Daniel looked up then dropped his head back on the bag of screwdrivers.

"I'll be back.." Nadia left the house and drove to the nearest drug store.

"I'm going back to sleep. I can't stay up."

Shane woke up the next morning and looked around his room with a whole bunch of balloons. "Dad you didn't have to do this." Shane spat

"Yeah but it's your sixteenth birthday plus I have a big surprise for you outside.." Shane sprinted to the door putting on his jacket and shoes. "But you need these first don't ya?" Shane looked back at his dad with the keys to his truck.

"You are joking Dad?" Jay laughed

"I wish I was. It cost me more than anything.." Shane smiled slamming the door open. Jay rushed outside and met him out there.

"Thanks Dad. I love it." these were the moments Jay lived for, the moments where he could see his kid smile big as he got what he wanted for Christmas. He wanted to break the news to him but something told him to wait, he had signed back up for Active Duty to go back to Iraq and serve his country. Jay knew he shouldn't have but he needed it, to go save his country one last time.

"Shane come on let's eat breakfast. We have to go see someone.." Shane grabbed his keys locked his truck then ran back inside.

"I really love it.. It was your grandpa's old truck.. I let my friend use it until I figured out what to do with it.." Jay hugged his son tightly then sat down.

Erin woke up to the sound of her nephew and daughter jumping on her bed. "MOMMY WAKE UP IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Alex shouted

"Al, let mommy wake up first." Alex was wearing her christmas tree pajamas and she had her hair in a braid.

Alex got off the bed then followed her cousin into the living room where it was filled with presents. Daniel heard the doorbell. He moaned.

"Erin! The doorbell rang." Daniel shouted. Erin jumped up and ran to the door. "Daniel it's your surprise." Daniel looked away

His big brother came into the door in his Army Uniform. Daniel turned around and jumped up. "JORDAN!"

Jordan smiled and hugged his little brother. "Hey little bro. How's it going?"

"When did this happen? How? You've been gone for a year.." Jordan smiled .

"I'm finished.. I got discharged a couple weeks ago.. I was surprising you and that little girl over there. Alexandra Camille Lindsay. Get your butt over here." Alex turned around and looked at her older cousin and ran towards him

"JORDAN YOU ARE HOME!" Her tiny squeaky voice shouted throughout the house waking up Nadia.

"I'm home." Jordan whispered picking her up and holding her tightly.

There was a woman holding a baby who came up behind him. "Erin Daniel this is my wife Addison and my daughter Avery Daniel-" Jordan's eyes opened wide as he noticed who it was standing in front of him. Nadia smiled then realized who it was.

"Erin who's that?" Nadia asked

"Jordan Voight, my nephew." Nadia walked away into the kitchen and started cooking breakfast.

Jordan followed her into the kitchen and laughed. "Nadia what are you doing here?" He asked

"I live here. Erin saved my life a couple years ago. Alex is my godchild.."

"She's my godchild too." Jordan added Nadia rolled her eyes

"Jordan nothing happened between us. Okay?" Jordan laughed

"Nadia we dated for five years. Nothing happened between us right? I loved you, I still care about you. Yes I moved on but I will never lose my feelings." Nadia nodded her head.

"I loved you. I loved you Jordan. I never turned you down on our dates, I never forgot about you. Jordan you left me remember. You said you would be back. Now you are back with a kid and a wife. How is that near fair to me? I stayed here got a job became a better version of myself so I can be the best for someone. For you mostly. I want you so badly Jordan. I just want your big hugs. Jordan I still have feelings for you. I still care about you. I just want what we had. I want someone to love me like you did. I just need that." Nadia shouted

"You two dated?" Erin asked

"Yeah. In high school. We broke up when he left but I never lost my feelings for him. I guess." Jordan grabbed her arm then pulled her in for a hug.

"Nadia I still love you. I never stopped." Nadia furrowed her eyebrow.

Jordan grabbed her cheeks in his big hands then kissed her. "Nobody else matters but you Nadia." Addison looked at her best friend and laughed.

"Am I done here?" Addison said

"Yeah.. Go. I'll see you later. I guess." Jordan said

Nadia looked at him "She's not your wife?" Nadia said

"Nope. I don't have one. I just told her to come in case someone asked me if I had a girlfriend. Avery is mine though. She's the result of a one night stand…" Jordan smiled

"She's beautiful." Nadia said

"Yeah but you are more beautiful." Jordan said

Erin's phone rang, she picked it up and answered it. "Hey Erin, I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house today for Christmas dinner?"

"Jay I'm having a dinner here, if you would like to come. You and Shane. You can come now, we are just opening presents. Well trying too." Erin laughed

"I'll see you in a bit Darlin'.." Jay said

Erin smiled then hung up her phone. "Momma can we open presents now?" Erin nodded her head and sat down.

"Sure baby. Here open this one." Erin pulled one that was wrapped.

Alex ripped the paper off of it then saw an Elsa doll she has been wanting.

"Santa is the best."

Daniel laughed "Santa is-" Erin threw a pillow at him.

"Shit." He whispered

Daniel laughed

Jay knocked on the door twenty minutes later holding a present in his hand. "Daniel James Open the door." Daniel got up and opened the door.

"Hey Shane!"

Jay handed Erin a present as she hugged him. "This is for little Alex. Shane helped me pick it out." Alex overheard and jumped up.

"Hey Mr. Jay, Mommy never stops talking about you ever. She said she liked you. I don't really know what that means in adult talk but in school when someone likes you I don't really know what happens." Jay picked her up and hugged her

"Kid, I got you a present. Here open it.." Jay handed her the present and Alex ripped it open.

"Mr. Jay what is it?" Alex asked

"Oh you see here you open it up." Jay put her on his lap and help her open it.

"I don't get it. What is it?"

"It's a dog tag, also there's one more thing in there."

"Mommy it's a cross." Jay smiled

"It's a necklace. It goes with the dog tag.."

"Jay you didn't have to." Erin spat

"I did, also I have something for you too.."

Erin walked back into her room and shut the door. "Jay what is it?" Jay smirked then raised his eyebrow.

"Well." Erin smiled then took off his shirt then He took her shirt off and it resulted in them in bed. Jay rolled over and laid on the bed.

"Jay we shouldn't have.." Erin laughed

"We won't do it again but I wanted you so badly."

"Jay I liked that." Erin said kissing him again.

"But we can't. I don't want too."

Alex was sitting in her room playing with her new toys when her older cousin came in and grabbed her an outfit. "DJ I want to wear the leather jacket and the boots and this shirt.." Daniel rolled his eyes.

"You are a pain kid." Alex laughed

"You know you love me." Daniel picked up and and turned her upside down.

"I love you a little too much Alex." Alex smiled

"Pal, if you ever need anything I'm here for you. Through everything.."

"I love you DJ." Alex wrapped her arms around her older cousin and gave him a big hug.

"I may be too young to understand anything but I really miss Uncle Justin. I'm sorry about your daddy. I wish mine was still here.."

"Hey kid you don't wish that. Your daddy was a bad person, he deserved what he got. I may not be your real older brother but I'm calling you my little sister.."

They both heard the door knock. Shane sat on the couch playing on his phone then Daniel ran up and got the door.

"Hello?" Daniel gasped at who it was.
