SEVENTEEN - WISH LIST

Sorry for the short chapter, I'll upload another first thing tomorrow :) x

"It's nearly bed time, you two" Jack looked at Teddy and Eliza. "Nooo" Teddy groaned "I don't want to go to sleep. Today has been fun" he pouted "I know it has. But you'll be tired soon. How about we all sit on the sofa for a little while. I'll get you a glass of milk and you can tell us what you would like Father Christmas to bring you, hey?" Teddy nodded and Jack went to the kitchen, coming back with a glass of milk soon after, he sat beside Teddy, wrapping his arms around him. Rose sat just a little further away, holding Eliza in her arms as Eliza clung to her finger.

"So Ted, what would you like Santa to bring you?"

"More colouring pencils, and maybe some more paper… and maybe a toy plane… if he can" Teddy smiled "but Liza would like one of those things where you jump" Jack and Rose looked at one another confused "a bouncer?" Rose asked and he nodded "I think she's a little bit young for one of those Ted" Jack said "yes, but she'll grow Daddy" Teddy rolled his eyes, to which Rose burst out laughing. "And a new rattle" he continued, Jack nodded "oh-" Teddy continued "she would also like a kitten" he said firmly "did she tell you that?" Jack asked, Teddy nodded forcefully "yep" Jack and Rose laughed "oh you are funny" Rose stroked his cheek, then noticed Eliza was fast asleep "I think Eliza is ready for bed" "I think her big brother is too" Jack looked at Teddy "I'm not tired" he protested "your closing eyes suggest otherwise buddy" Jack smirked "come on" he picked him up and carried him upstairs, Rose following with Eliza. They were both so tired that they fell asleep almost immediately when they were put in to bed.
