Chapter 34: Festive Fun
Santana's POV
*Monday 14 November 2022*
Brittany and I are heading into work today to do some stuff. Jaxon is going to come with us so we won't likely stay all day though. We hadn't planned on going back to work just yet but with Christmas coming up then it made sense to go in and get some work done. Christmas is always a busy time for us at work so we didn't think it was fair to leave everything to everyone else while we stayed at home since we're still on maternity leave.
Brittany, Jaxon and I are currently all getting ready for the day. We've already eaten breakfast so now we're just getting changed and everything else. Brittany has just finished getting Jaxon ready so he's sitting peacefully in the car seat waiting on us, hugging his teddy bear. I'm just in the middle of getting dressed and Brittany is brushing her teeth while simultaneously getting together the things she needs for work.
"Are those my underpants you're wearing?" Brittany asks me amused as she leaves the bathroom.
"Yes, they are, is that a problem?" I smirk at my wife.
"It kinda is because I was going to wear those ones today" she tells me.
"I'm sure you have plenty more so you don't need to wear these specifically" I reply.
"They're my favourite boxers and I wanted to wear them today so you should probably take them off" she states with a shrug.
"No" I say teasingly as I shake my head.
"Come on babe" she laughs.
"Come and get them" I tease as I run towards the bed.
"I will come over there and tackle you to the bed to get them off of you" Brittany says seriously.
"Come on then" I shrug. "I'd like to see you try and fight me because we all know who would win in a physical fight" I smile.
"Do you think you're stronger than me?" Brittany asks.
"Physically probably not because you work out more than I do at the moment but I am a fighter so I could really get you with my words and my pure fighter spirit" I say. I could say something and Brittany would back right off because she's not a violent person so I would always win a fight. Don't get me wrong though, I don't want to hurt her, this is all in fun.
"Fair enough" she nods in agreement.
"So, is this fight on or not?" I smirk as I raise my fists in the air.
"I'm surrendering so you can keep the underpants on" Brittany smiles.
"Ok but why are you giving in so easily?" I ask as I make my way towards my wife.
"Because whether I got you to take them off or not, I still couldn't wear them today because your butt has already been in them so I wouldn't have time to wash them" she shrugs.
"Honey, I showered not long ago so it's not like they wouldn't be clean underwear" I assure her.
"It still just feels weird to wear the same pair of underwear that you've just worn" she shrugs.
"I thought you liked it when I removed my underwear" I smirk.
"I do, I really do" she smirks back. "It doesn't mean every time you do that though that I want to then wear the underwear. I'd rather the underwear was no longer in the picture and I just had you there naked" she adds.
"Ok" I nod.
"Anyway, are we getting ready now?" she asks.
"We are so I should put some more clothes on now" I nod.
"Yeah, I should change out of these pajamas now" she agrees.
As soon as Brittany and I are ready, we head downstairs with Jaxon. We get everything we need before leaving and locking up the house. We then load everything into Brittany's car and get ourselves and Jaxon in before driving off. It really doesn't take long at all before we arrive at work. We unload everything again, including everything our baby will need for the day, and head into work with it all. We get ourselves settled back in before I arrange to meet all the staff in the conference room for a meeting.
"Good morning everyone" I say loudly to get the meeting started. "I know not everyone was expecting to see me or Ms Pierce here so soon but we are here and we are going to put you all to work" I add.
"Yes, with Christmas quickly approaching then we figured we need all hands on deck so to speak so we're back for a couple of days a week in the run up to Christmas" Brittany explains. "We also have a new little guy in here that'll be in charge today" she says as she picks Jaxon up from the car seat.
"Uh…no we don't" I state. "I love my son but he is nowhere near as good as me yet so I am in charge today and every day after that" I shrug.
"Did you hear that buddy; mommy doesn't think you're good enough to be here" Brittany says as she smirks at me and bounces Jaxon gently in her arms.
"See son, this is kinda the reason your mom will never be in charge and I'll always be in charge of the company. She makes too many jokes and messes around in meetings instead of getting straight to the point" I say while kissing my son.
"Ok I get it" Brittany laughs. "It's time to be serious now" she adds.
"Yes and for future reference, Jaxon may or may not take over this company when he gets older. It is completely up to him how he wishes to build a career so you all might just be stuck with me until I'm 100 years old if he decides this is not for him and he wants to be a surgeon or something" I say.
"So, I think the message right now of what Ms Lopez is saying is, let's get to work" Brittany states.
"Exactly" I smile at Brittany. "Ok so the first point of the meeting I want to make is that due to the increased demand in sales then we have employed a few more delivery drivers on a temporary basis to help us out this festive season" I say.
"We have spoken to Jade and Jack who agree with us on this so if the demand gets even higher then consult with them and we will see what else we need to do" Brittany tells everyone.
"I have also got some overtime hours available if anyone is interested in doing some more hours for us to help out during this busy time. We can work it around childcare should you wish more hours but can't commit to our current schedule" I explain. "Jack is taking care of the rotas from now until Christmas so please speak to him about that" I add.
"This goes for all lines of the business so if anyone wants to help out in the next few weeks in either BP Sportswear or SL Designs then let us know" Brittany says.
"The next point I want to make is about production of products. We do have a demand in sales like I said so we need to make sure we are producing the products as quickly as we can. I don't mean cutting any corners but if we come across certain products that are more popular than others then let us know so we can order supplies ahead of time. If you're finding one design is being sold a lot more than others then we can order supplies quicker and be prepared for the next batch of products" I explain.
"Exactly and this way products aren't going out of stock because we've been prepared ahead of time" Brittany adds.
"I know there may be a few production halts along the way but if we can prepare as much as possible before then that would be good" I say. "Uh…excuse me, are you two listening?" I ask loudly as I see two members of staff whispering to one another.
"No, they're talking about their sex lives from what I gather" Brittany replies while shaking her head in displeasure.
"Oh, is that so?" I ask angrily.
"Sorry" one of them replies.
"Yes, sorry Ms Lopez" the other staff member apologises.
"That is really not something you need to discuss at work anyway. I mean you don't see me talking just now about the fact I had sex last night" Brittany says surprising me.
"Ms Pierce, boundaries please" I snap. Everyone around us giggles a little.
"I'm just saying that I…"
"Can I have a word outside please" I say while pointing towards the door. Brittany then follows me out into the hallway.
"What's up?" she asks with a smile.
"Do not discuss that at work again, ok?" I say seriously.
"I was just trying to make a point, it's really no big deal" Brittany shrugs.
"It is a big deal because you're letting everyone know their boss had sex last night which I don't want them to know" I state.
"It really doesn't bother me" Brittany smiles.
"No, I'm talking about me Brittany. I am the boss and you told everyone I had sex last night and that's not something I want to share" I say.
"I said I had sex last night, I didn't mention you babe" Brittany frowns.
"Honey, you kinda did" I laugh. Man, she is so adorable sometimes. "You saying you had sex last night clearly tells everyone I had sex too since you know, we're married and everyone knows we're married" I add.
"Oh my god, yeah" Brittany bursts out laughing. "I didn't even think about it like that, I'm so sorry. I was just trying to make a point but I didn't even think about how it could affect you."
"It's ok but let's get back in there and finish off this meeting" I smile.
"Ok" Brittany smiles back.
As soon as the meeting is done, Brittany and I head back to our office with Jaxon. I feed him and then Brittany changes his diaper. We spend a little time with him until he gets tired before I put him down for a nap in the travel crib we have in the office. Brittany and I then get sat down at our desks and get on with some work we want to do for our own fashion lines.
"Honey, why are you staring at me?" I ask my wife.
"You are so hot when you go into boss mode, like seriously I'm struggling here to keep it together" Brittany replies.
"I kinda feel the same way about you" I smile.
"As soon as Jaxon goes to sleep tonight, you and I are having a special nap" she tells me.
"Sounds good" I smile again.

*Tuesday 22nd November 2022*
I'm just hard at work alone in my office right now. It's been a busy few days considering Christmas is right around the corner so I've got a lot of work to do. Brittany hasn't arrived at work yet because she's with Jaxon but I'm expecting her to arrive any minute now once she has dropped Jaxon off at her parent's house. My parents-in-law have the day off from work today so they were more than happy to take Jaxon for the day so Brittany and I could do some work during one of the busiest times of the year for our business.
"Hey boss" Brittany smiles at me as she walks into our office.
"Hi" I smile back. "God that feels good" I say with a smirk.
"What feels good?" Brittany asks confused as she sits down behind her desk.
"Just hearing you call me the boss. Like I know that I am the boss but since we haven't been here in a while then I forgot how good it actually feels" I smile.
"Ok, got it" Brittany smiles.
As much as I love my home life and how Brittany and I are equal partners at home, there really is something different about being the boss at work. It's really quite satisfying knowing I am in charge of everyone and I don't need to consult with anyone when I make all my decisions. I get whatever I want at work no matter what anyone says because I am superior to everyone else. I mean Brittany does have her own fashion line too so she is sort of the boss as well but technically I am still her boss.
"Honey! Hello!" Brittany says with a laugh as she brings me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry, did I ignore you?" I apologise. I was too lost in how good it felt knowing I am in charge that I've clearly missed Brittany talking to me.
"You did but it's ok because you're cute" Brittany smiles.
"Yeah, I am rather cute" I say smugly.
"I was just asking you how you were getting on with your work" she replies.
"Yeah, I'm getting through quite a lot which is good. I love Jaxon but I really did need this morning to myself to get sorted with all of my work so I'm glad it worked out" I say.
"I'm hoping to get a lot done myself now that our son is with my parents and I can just concentrate on work without being worried about Jaxon being stuck in here all day with us" Brittany states.
"Exactly" I nod. "Did Jaxon settle ok with your parents then?" I ask.
"Yeah, he was great. To be honest he didn't seem to give a fuck that I was leaving and he wouldn't see me for a few hours" she chuckles.
"Are you swearing at work Ms Pierce?" I tease.
"Yeah, I guess I am, I'm sorry" she laughs again.
"Don't worry, I've been doing it a lot too. You forget how good it feels to swear when you haven't done so in a long time because you have a baby with you everywhere you go" I smile.
"Yeah" Brittany nods. "So boss, what is the plan of attack for today?" she asks.
"I'm just wrapping up what I'm doing right now and then I'll have my meeting with the sales team. I think by the time that's done I will need to express some milk. I'm then hoping to get 20 minutes to eat lunch with you and then I'll get back to work again" I explain.
"Sounds good. I will do what I need to do for an hour or so and then I'll go out and grab us some lunch while you're expressing and then we can eat together" Brittany replies.

After being at work for a good number of hours, Brittany and I headed to her parent's house to get Jaxon. We caught up with Brittany's parents for a little while before the 3 of us left and headed home. It had been a long day already so the minute we were home, we made dinner and sat down together to eat. Brittany and I are now just going through our usual nightly routine getting ready for bed and getting Jaxon ready to go to sleep.
"Come on honey, please stop crying" I groan as I cradle my son in my arms. The minute we reached the bedroom this evening, he just started crying. It was as if he knew it was bedtime and didn't want to go to sleep.
"He's not usually like this" Brittany states as she comfortingly places her hand on our son's head.
"Yeah, I know" I sigh. "Usually after I rock him a few times in my arms, he will fall asleep."
"I really hope my mom hasn't changed his routine when she was looking after him today" she replies. "Don't get me wrong, my mom is a great mom but you and I are parenting Jaxon differently compared to how I was raised so I don't want her using a different parenting style on the grandchildren and confusing them" she adds.
"That was a slight worry I was having" I admit. We didn't plan on going back to work this early so it was all a bit of a last-minute arrangement for our parents to look after Jaxon from time to time so I am worried we rushed into it and didn't explain how we would like Jaxon taken care of.
"We'll just need to talk to my parents the next time they look after Jaxon and make things clear about how we want his routine to be followed" Brittany replies.
"We will and we should do the same with my parents because they're just as bad. Like you said, all of our parents were great parents but they're just different to us so we should make sure my parents know how to handle things our way" I state.
"Yeah, we'll talk to you parent's too" Brittany nods. "Anyway, I am going to brush my teeth and get changed right now. If Jaxon still hasn't settled by the time I'm finished then I'll take over while you brush your teeth or whatever" she says.
"Sounds like a plan" I nod.
The whole time Brittany is in the bathroom, Jaxon still doesn't settle. I've tried rocking him, hugging him, and singing to him and nothing seems to work. He usually likes it when I sing but for some reason he just doesn't tonight. It's actually starting to worry me now because he is not usually this unsettled at night time. I did wonder if he might be sick or something but he doesn't have a temperature and nothing else seems to be wrong. He just won't stop crying but apart from that, he seems ok so I'm really confused about what is going on.
"Hey" Brittany smiles as she walks into the room.
"I think you and I should have another baby" I state.
"Really? Are you serious?" she asks in surprise.
"Yeah because this one is broken" I reply as I cradle Jaxon from side to side as he continues to burst my eardrums with his cries.
"So, you're not actually serious then?" Brittany states.
"I mean in the future I definitely want to have more children with you but yeah, now probably isn't the right time to be expanding the family" I say.
"Yeah, I have to agree" Brittany smiles. "We're just getting the hang of this parenting thing with the one baby so with two kids, it would be a whole other matter" she adds.
"I know" I nod. "I just don't understand why he is crying so much right now though. This really isn't like him" I sigh.
"Why don't I try some stuff right now and you can get ready for bed" she suggests.
"Ok" I smile while handing Jaxon over to Brittany.
"What's going on buddy, why don't you want to go to sleep?" Brittany says as she looks down at Jaxon. "Don't you want to get some rest because you've had a busy day today?"
"Ok, I won't be long" I say as I grab my pajamas and head for the bathroom. "Jesus Brittany!" I shriek as I trip over her sneakers, positioned beautifully in front of the doorway.
"Sorry, I meant to move them" she replies, struggling not to laugh.
"It's not funny, I could have hurt myself" I say embarrassed.
"Did you hurt yourself though?" Brittany asks amused.
"No but I could have been my point. I could have gotten a nasty injury if I didn't save myself from the fall" I state.
"Ok" she nods, still laughing at me.
"An adult tripping is not funny, grow up" I say while glaring at my wife. It's really not funny to laugh at someone tripping up. I am embarrassed enough as it is so I don't want my wife laughing at me. I mean I know no one else saw but I still don't like being laughed at.
"Do it again" Brittany replies.
"Excuse me?" I say annoyed. Did my wife really just ask me to fall over again and hurt myself?
"Can you try that again and put a bit more enthusiasm into the trip for me" Brittany says.
"Stop being mean Brittany or you and I will have a serious falling out tonight" I say seriously. "I am not about to fall over just so you can laugh at me again. It's really not nice to laugh at someone falling, I've already told you this" I add.
"Ok it was a little funny in the beginning because the look on your face was so amusing but I'm not asking you to trip again so I can laugh at you. I am asking you to trip again for Jaxon" she states.
"That makes no sense Brittany, why would Jaxon want me to hurt myself" I say while shaking my head.
"Look at him right now, he's not crying anymore, he's laughing" she replies. "Ever since you tripped up, he started to laugh so I am asking you to do it again so he will laugh again. I would rather he was laughing than screaming the place down."
"Oh, ok" I say in realisation. "Surely we could do something else to make him laugh though that means I don't need to fall over or get hurt."
"I guess but you tripping up really did stop him from crying" Brittany shrugs.
"I'm not tripping up again, end of story" I say firmly.
"Did you like it when mommy tripped up?" Brittany asks Jaxon as she bounces him in her arms. "Do you want mommy to make you laugh again?" she says.
"Why don't I take Jaxon again and you could fall over for us" I suggest.
"No, let's just make him laugh in other ways" she replies.
"Yeah, it's not nice the thought of getting hurt, is it?" I smirk.
"Ok, I am sorry for laughing at you babe" she says as she leans over to kiss my cheek. "As soon as we get Jaxon sleeping, I'll make it up to you in any way you want" she smiles.
"Actually, we could kill two birds with one stone right now. I think you should fall over because it would make Jaxon laugh and it would make me feel better" I say, smirking again.
"Ok, fine" Brittany laughs. "How do I make myself deliberately trip up though?" she asks.
"I'm sure you'll manage" I laugh.
"Why don't you just push me over or something because it's hard to do this when I know what's coming" she tells me.
"I'm not pushing my wife over, that's mean" I say shaking my head.
"But it's not mean to watch me fall over?" Brittany asks.
"Honey, just do something to make Jaxon laugh again because he looks like he wants to start crying again and I can't deal with that" I say.
"Ok, fine" Brittany says reluctantly. She then goes to one end of the room and does a little run before falling to the ground.
"Look Jax, mommy fell over" I say but he just looks at me like I'm an idiot. "Great, I fall over and Jaxon laughs but you fall over and he looks sad. Yeah we all know who the favourite parent is" I sigh.
"I'm sure that's not it" Brittany assures me. "Let me try something" she states.
"Ok" I nod. Brittany then starts laughing all of a sudden, causing me to get a fright. "What are you doing?"
"Look, he's laughing" Brittany laughs. "Babe, he wasn't laughing at you falling, he was laughing at me laughing. Obviously me laughing makes him laugh, not someone falling" she adds.
"I guess that does make me feel a little better" I shrug. "Hopefully all of this laughing will tire Jax out and he'll eventually go to sleep for us" I add.
"Yeah, hopefully" Brittany smiles.

*Saturday 3rd December 2022*
Brittany and I have had a quiet morning so far with Jaxon. We've just worked the last 5 days straight so we've decided to take the day off today. We weren't supposed to be going back full time right now but with Christmas and everything, we ended up pretty much working full time this week. Jaxon was there for some of the time at work but we did drop him off at my parents' house or Brittany's parents house at other times because it wouldn't be fair on him to be stuck in the office with us all day.
"Jaxon has just fell back asleep and I've got the shower running if you can spare a few minutes to join me" Brittany says with a wink as I walk into the bedroom.
"I can spare more than a few minutes I think" I smirk at my wife.
"Excellent" Brittany smiles.
"Let's go then" I say eagerly as I begin undressing as I make my way into the bathroom. As soon as we're both fully undressed, we both step into the shower under the running water.
"Is the water too hot or is it ok?" Brittany asks.
"The water is not that hot but you are" I state as I pull Brittany towards me into a passionate kiss.
"You're pretty hot too" she winks at me as she puts her arms around me.
"Thanks" I smile. "We should probably stop talking now because it's not talking I want to do" I add as I kiss my wife again.
"What about dirty talk though, do we do that?" Brittany asks as she pulls away momentarily from the kiss.
"I guess if you want to but you know I don't really care for dirty talk all that much. You're better at doing other things to turn me on" I shrug.
"Fair enough" Brittany nods before pulling me close again and kissing me.
We kiss for a few moments before Brittany hoists me up against the wall and I wrap my legs around her. She then begins to kiss down my neck. As much as I love being the boss and in control at work, I definitely prefer it when Brittany is in control at home. She kisses me some more before adjusting our position and slowly pushing into me. The more she builds up a rhythm between us, the closer I get to climaxing. It takes everything I have in me to make it last as long as I can but as soon as she presses her lips against mine to kiss me and I feel her climaxing, I have to let go.
"You seriously look so sexy when you cum" Brittany smirks at me. "I know I say it all the time but you do look sexy, especially compared to me" she adds.
"You look cute babe, trust me" I smile.
"What do you say we forget about actually showering right now and just take this to the bedroom now for round 2" Brittany asks.
"Yeah" I smile.
After spending a while in bed together, we end up just lying there in each other's arms, enjoying each other's company. I am so glad we made some time for each other this morning because we have had a busy week so I've missed Brittany. We can't be as spontaneous now since we have a baby and we're so busy at work so we just need to take these moments when we can. Who knows when we're going to get a chance again to just have some time to ourselves?
"Well, I think it's time to get back to reality now" Brittany says as she leaves the bed.
"Where are you going babe?" I ask. Jaxon is still soundly asleep so I don't know why Brittany needs to rush out of bed right now.
"We have some spare time right now so I thought since I wasn't working then I could make a start on wrapping some Christmas presents" she tells me. "We also need to finalise some party details for the Christmas party at work" she adds.
"That's true I guess" I nod. We're hosting a Christmas party at work like we do most years and there's still quite a lot left to organise so I suppose we should be getting that sorted out.
"It was great getting to spend some time with you though" Brittany smiles as she leans down and kisses me.
"It was because we've been so busy with Jaxon and work lately that we haven't really had that much one on one time together" I smile back.
"We'll make time again soon, I promise" she tells me.
"Good" I smile again.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
*Friday 16th December 2022*
The work Christmas party is tonight so Brittany and I are just at home getting ready for it. Jaxon is staying with Brittany's parents tonight so we can go to the party so he's already left. It's going to be fun to get a night out together with my wife and to have some fun with my friends. Even though it's a work party, Brittany and I have invited some close friends as well to come and hang out. Brittany and I will be leaving soon to make sure the place is all set up before our guests arrive but right now we have to make ourselves look amazing which is why I'm running around my bedroom in my underwear trying to pick out the best outfit for tonight.
"Oh, hey babe, is that you all finished in the shower now?" I ask. I need to get into the bathroom soon myself to get showered and ready.
"Stop what you're doing and put your hands in the air" Brittany states, not answering my question.
"Uh…what?" I chuckle, confused as to what she's up to.
"Stop what you're doing, turn around and put your hands in the air" she tells me.
"Why?" I ask as I do what I'm told.
"Because I said so" Brittany smirks as she grabs my wrists and pulls them down behind my back.
"What are you doing?" I laugh.
"I'm arresting you" she states.
"Arresting me? For what?" I ask curiously.
"It is a crime to be this sexy" she says.
"Maybe you need to punish me then" I say with a smirk.
"Maybe I will when we get home later" she smirks back.
"Why can't you do it now?" I ask as I lean back into her.
"Because we have a party to get to so we don't have time right now but we'll have time later when we get home" she explains.
"Do we have to go to the party?" I ask. Suddenly I'm feeling less excited about this party when I know there are better things I could be doing.
"Yes honey, we do" Brittany laughs. "It's our party and we're hosting it so it would look a little weird if we just decided not to turn up" she adds.
"I guess" I sigh. "I suppose I should get back to getting ready then" I say as I head towards the bathroom.

Brittany and I have just arrived at work. Everything is looking good so far and is going to plan. All the decorations look great and the caterers are getting started on preparing the food. We've got the music ready to go and the drinks stations are getting set up. There's still a little bit of time left to go before everyone arrives though so Brittany and I are just hanging out in our office, passing some time.
"Whatever happens tonight, do not let me get drunk" I state.
"Why does it matter?" Brittany asks confused.
"Because I am the boss around here so I don't need to let my employees see me in a different way. I need to keep that strict and tough exterior" I reply.
"Honey, they came to our wedding and watched you remove my garter with your teeth. I think it's clear you have another side to you" she points out.
"Yeah, I guess" I chuckle.
"Permission to get you drunk then?" Brittany smirks.
"I guess so" I laugh.
"Good, now come here" she says as she pulls me closer and pecks my lips.
After hanging out for a while, our guests finally arrive and we all get the party started. Brittany and I have been so busy entertaining our guests that we've barely seen one another for a few hours now which sucks. I've just finished talking to Quinn so now I'm on my way to find my wife. It's takes me a few minutes before I find her, sitting at a table with some of her colleagues laughing and joking. I like that she's having fun but I am going to interrupt because I'd rather she was having fun with me.
"Hey, come and dance with me" I say as I pull Brittany up from her seat.
"Ok" she smiles. "I'll talk to you guys later" she says to her friends before following me to the dance floor.
"What have you been up to, I haven't seen you for ages?" I ask as we begin dancing together.
"Just talking to everyone and drinking and dancing" she smiles. "I am glad we're finally spending some time together now" she adds.
"Me too" I say as I wrap my arms around her neck.
"Actually, you know what, come with me" Brittany says while taking a hold of my hand and leading me away from the dancefloor.
"Where are we going?" I ask curiously.
"Somewhere quieter" she smiles. We make our way through the crowds of people before ending up in our office. Brittany then locks the door behind us.
"What are you doing?" I ask confused.
"I'll be doing you in a second" Brittany smirks at me.
"I don't know that we should do it in here honey. This is our office and Jaxon is in here a lot when we bring him to work so it feels weird to do it in the same room as our son usually frequents" I state.
"Jaxon also sleeps a few feet away from our bed in our bedroom at home and it's never stopped you having sex in our bed" she replies.
"Touché" I smirk before pulling Brittany into a passionate kiss.

*Saturday 17th December 2022*
I've just gotten woken up by my stupid alarm and now I can't get back to sleep. Usually I would be able to just roll back over and fall back asleep again but not today, not with this hangover. I have the worst headache ever and I feel sick so it's going to be one fun day today. The winter chill in the atmosphere doesn't help either because I am so cold right now. I'm also not exactly thrilled when I roll over in bed to be met with an empty space and no wife.
"Good morning" Brittany smiles at me as she leaves the bathroom and gets back into bed next to me.
"Is it?" I say unhappily as the bright light in the bedroom stings my eyes.
"Well I think it's a good morning because I had a great night last night and I got to wake up to you this morning" Brittany shrugs as she wraps her arms around me tightly.
"I do like that we're able to be back in bed together and didn't need to rush out of bed this morning to get up" I say with a small smile. "I really must have overdone it with the drinks last night though because I don't feel good at all today" I add. I would not be surprised if I ran for the bathroom within the next 5 minutes to be sick.
"I'm actually doing ok this morning with my hangover" Brittany shrugs.
"Ok well no need to boast about that honey" I say with a playful glare on my face.
"I'm not boasting, I'm just adding to the conversation" she smiles. "Let's talk about something else though" she adds.
"Or lets just not talk at all right now" I say as I rest my head on her chest. "I think my headache would feel better if we just lay still and didn't make any noises."
"Ok" Brittany nods before kissing my head.
Brittany and I manage to lie silently for a little while in each other's arms. It does make my head feel a little better when I don't need to move or talk, but it doesn't completely make the headache disappear. I think as soon as I find the energy to get out of bed, I'll take some painkillers. We're only lying together for a few more minutes before Brittany decides to break the silence between us and starts talking.
"Ok, I'm sorry. I have to talk now" Brittany sighs. "You know me and you know I don't do well with silence so I can't keep quiet anymore" she adds.
"It's fine" I laugh. I do love that she was trying to stay silent for me but I know it's not easy for her because Brittany is a talker. She always likes talking to people and being around other people.
"Why don't we get up now and I'll make us some breakfast" she suggests.
"I don't know if I could hold anything down right now so I don't really want food. I suppose I should get up though and take some painkillers for my headache" I say as I reluctantly leave the bed.
"I am quite hungry so I'm going to make some food so I can eat. I'll make you something too but if you don't feel like eating it then it's cool, you can just leave it" Brittany says.
"Ok" I nod.
Once we're both up, we get ourselves changed and then Brittany heads downstairs to make breakfast while I take some painkillers. I still really can't face eating anything so I go to the living room to lie down while Brittany eats her food in the kitchen. I'm just lying on the couch resting in front of the TV when Brittany walks into the room. She picks up my legs and sits down on the couch and places them over her lap.
"Are you ok babe?" Brittany asks me in concern.
"I feel quite sick now actually. It's really one hell of a hangover today. I'm not usually this bad I didn't think. Did I drink more than I usually would?" I ask.
"I wouldn't say so but it has been some time since we really partied like last night. Maybe it was just too much for you to handle since you haven't drunk a lot recently with the pregnancy and breastfeeding" Brittany replies.
"Yeah, it was probably just a shock to the system or something. I'm sure I'll be fine in no time at all" I smile.
"I am sure you will be because you're a fighter" she smiles back.

*Sunday 25th December 2022*
Today is such an exciting day and it's not just because it's Christmas. Today just happens to be the first Christmas for Jaxon and first Christmas as parents for Brittany and I so it's even more special than usual. I cannot wait to see Jaxon's little face when he gets lots of presents and new toys to play with. He might not really know what's going on since he's so young but I definitely think it'll be a good day anyway. We're all going to Brittany's parent's house later for Christmas dinner. Firstly though, Brittany, Jaxon and I will need to open all of our gifts.
"Jaxon is still asleep" Brittany whispers to me as she turns around in bed to face me.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I ask with a smirk.
"I don't know, am I?" Brittany smirks back.
"It involved you and me naked" I tell her as I pull her close to me under the covers.
"Yeah, same idea" she smiles as she leans in and kisses me.
"We need to be quiet though because Jaxon is right over there" I say.
"I know and we will be" Brittany says as she leans in and kisses me again. She kisses me a little longer this time before pulling away.
"We need less clothes" I whisper as I quickly but quietly shuffle out of my pajamas.
"Ok" Brittany says as she too begins undressing. We're just about both fully undressed when we hear Jaxon wake up.
"I guess it's not happening anymore" I laugh as I begin dressing again.
"Yeah, I guess not right now" Brittany smiles.
"I'll run downstairs and get his bottle ready if you want to get him up" I tell Brittany as I get out of bed and head towards the door.
"Sounds like a plan, we'll meet you downstairs" she nods.

After opening all of our presents, Brittany and I spend some time with Jaxon and had some breakfast. We then put Jaxon down for a nap while we got ourselves ready for the day and loaded up the car with everything we need for Jaxon to take to Brittany's parent's house. We've just arrived at Brittany's parent's house now and are heading inside with Jaxon. We do seem to be last to arrive since the rest of the family is there but our excuse is a baby so they can't complain about that.
"Do you need any help to cook?" Brittany asks her parents as we mingle with some family in the kitchen.
"No, it's fine, we've got it all under control but thank you" her mom smiles.
"So, what was Jaxon's first Christmas morning like?" my mom asks. "Did he like all of the presents he got?"
"To be honest, I don't think he knew what was going on" I laugh.
"Yeah, Santana and I were more excited about the presents than he was" Brittany laughs.
"You all did spoil him a lot so thank you for the lovely gifts, I am sure Jaxon will play with all of the toys and wear all of the clothes you gave him" I say.
Once dinner was made, we all sat down to eat together. After we finished eating, we all helped clear away the dishes before hanging out together with some drinks. Most of the kids napped so the adults just hung out and caught up with one another. We did play some family games but that sort of all ended once I got too competitive and no one would play with me anymore because I started to be mean to everyone. I do feel kinda bad but at the same time, some of them were cheating so really it's all on them. I'm just on my way now to see where my wife is because she was supposed to just go to check on the kids but she has been away a while.
"Hey, what are you doing in here on you own?" I ask as I enter the dining room.
"I'm just on my phone" she shrugs.
"Doing what?" I quiz. It is Christmas day so she should be with her family, not glued to her phone.
"Talking to friends and commenting on social media posts" Brittany replies.
"Did you check on the children?" I ask.
"Yeah they're all still asleep so I just left them to it. I've got the baby monitor anyway with me" she tells me.
"That's good" I nod. "Anyway, I will leave you in peace so you can talk to your friends on Christmas day. I would hate to keep you back from them any longer on such a special friendly time of year" I state.
"Hold on, come back here" Brittany laughs as she grabs my hand and pulls me back towards her. "Are you pissed at me right now?" she asks.
"No, of course not" I shrug. "It's Christmas so why would I be mad at you?"
"Your tone says otherwise babe" she points out.
"I'm not mad at you. I mean it's up to you how you want to spend Christmas, whether that's with family or some people on the internet. Christmas is usually a family time for a lot of people but I guess it's a more important time between friends rather than family for other people" I shrug again.
"Honey, stop beating around the bush and just say you're pissed at me right now" she says as she pulls me down to sit on her lap.
"Ok, yes. I am pissed at you" I laugh. I am serious but at the same time, it is funny how well she knows me. "I mean it's Christmas day and instead of being with your family, you're sitting on your own talking to other people."
"I'm sorry, I really am" Brittany apologises as she kisses the side of my cheek. "My phone just kept going off with notifications so I checked it and ended up getting side tracked. I know I should be concentrating on you today, not everyone else."
"I wasn't pissed because I wanted you to focus on just me, I was pissed because it's Christmas which is a time for family so you should be spending time with your whole family today" I point out.
"Come on, we all secretly know the main reason you were pissed is because I wasn't focusing all of my attention on you. It's not about our family, it's about you, isn't it?" she smirks at me.
"Ok, fine. Yes it is all about me" I laugh. I am literally so transparent sometimes because Brittany clearly knows what I'm implying without me actually saying the words. "I don't like it when you give other people more attention than you give me" I shrug.
"Come here" she smiles as she pulls my head down so she can kiss me. "I'll make things up to you for neglecting you today" she assures me.
"What now or later?" I ask with a smirk.
"Later honey because we don't really have time right now" Brittany says as she kisses me again.
"Ok, I am holding you to that later. Firstly though, you need to kiss me again but not just a little peck on the lips, like I mean a real kiss that couples have" I state.
"Ok" she laughs before kissing me again. "Is that better" she asks as we pull away from each other's lips.
"Not really babe because you're talking now" I reply.
"Oh I'm so sorry for having to pull away to take a breath" she laughs.
"Let's try this again but this time pretend you're in love with me and you want to kiss me so badly that you don't want to ever stop" I tease.
"Haven't I been kissing you like I love you?" Brittany laughs again.
"Don't get me wrong, it was nice kiss. It just felt really quite short, like a peck" I shrug.
"Ok, I will do it again but if you don't like it this time then I'm not doing it again because the passion disappears the more you tell me I suck at kissing my wife" she tells me.
"Ok" I nod.
Brittany then pulls me close and kisses me. As I begin kissing back, I feel her slip her tongue into my mouth. The more we kiss, the more it does things to me that I probably shouldn't be feeling right now.
"We should stop now" I say while pulling away, looking a little flustered.
"Ok, thoughts on my kissing technique that time?" she asks me.
"Too good" I say as I get off Brittany's lap.
"Thank you, I do aim to please" she says smugly.
"No, I'm being serious Brittany" I sigh. "I was getting way more turned on than I should be right now" I say embarrassed.
"Oh really, am I that good?" she smirks at me.
"I shouldn't be getting like that when we're in such a large group of company today. I guess it's my own fault for asking you to kiss me more passionately" I reply. If we were at home then I wouldn't care but we're surrounded by so many people today so this is just too weird.
"I wouldn't worry about it because we've stopped now and we'll re-join the family in the living room now. If I'm being totally honest then I was finding it really hard not to get too turned on myself" Brittany admits.
"Let's go and join the others now so I can take my mind off wanting to just take you right here and now" I state.
"Ok" Brittany nods.
That's it for this chapter, let me know what you think. I should hopefully be back to posting chapters a bit more frequently now so chapter 35 should be up soon.
