narrative
it's december 25th, lyla hacker is currently up and can't wait to open the presents downstairs. the little girl puts her finger on her chin trying to think. she gets the brightest idea and runs to her parents room.
she peeks her head above the bed and sees her mom cuddled into her dad's chest. she giggles and jumps on the bed, startling vinnie.
"hi lyla." he says lowly.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS! MAMA WAKE UP WAKE UP. IT'S CHRISTMAS, SANTA BROUGHT THE PRESENTS COME ON COME ON!" she yells.
"santa isn't real." y/n says due to the unexpected wakening. lyla stops jumping and her eyes begin to water. vinnie notices and tries to come up with something before his daughter starts to cry.
"he is baby, your mom was just having a dream. he ate all your cookies, cmon let's look." he gets up and walks lyla to their door.
"i'll meet you downstairs, imma get mom to come down with us. okay?"
"mkay." the toddler smiles and runs down the steps.
"now y/n... what the hell is wrong with you?"
"what vinnie..?" y/n groans as she sits up.
"why would you tell lyla santa isn't real?" vinnie asks the woman.
"i didn't mean to.. it slipped out. why was she even jumping like that... i should've kicked her off." she replies making vinnie hold in a laugh.
"stop staring at me and go check on ly. i'll be downstairs soon." y/n gets up and walks to the bathroom, brushing her teeth to look a bit more alive.

"HEY MOMMY!!" lyla runs towards me. i pick up her up in my arms trying to calm her down.
"did santa eat your cookies?" i look at her.
"HE DID HE DID! LOOK" she jumps out my arms, literally.
"LY BE CAREFUL!"
"can we open presents now.." ly grabs my leg completely changing the subject.
"yeah, go sit down there please and be patient." i point towards the couch.
i grab vinnie and we sit across from our daughter.
"CAN I OPEN NOW?" she gets giddy.
"yes, open this one first." vinnie grabs the present under the tree and hands it to her.
her little hands slowly open the gift and it's a dollhouse.
"THANK YOU DAD!!" she gasps and runs into his chest.
"damn lyla, watch your head you're gonna hurt yourself." vinnie laughs at her.
"how about you mommy? are you gonna open next?" she tilts her head.
"it's okay princess, i'll go after you. me and your dad will open our things together." i pat her shoulder and give her my gift.
"gifts aren't the only things that are gonna be opened." i hear next to me.
"quit it vinnie." i slap his arm.
"IT'S A BIKE!" she yells. "THANK YOU MAMA THANK YOU THANK YOU!" she runs to me, slightly pushing me back.

"thank you mom and dad." lyla says once she's done opening all her presents.
"of course ly."
"anything for you princess."
"ly, grab that last gift." vinnie whispers. she grabs it and hands it to me, giggling.
"what's this?" i look at the both of them.
"open it." they both say.
i unwrap the paper and see a pink ring.
"vinnie.. you already gave me a ring." i raise an eyebrow.
"shut up and put it on."
i roll my eyes and put on the ring. i feel a buzz and see lyla tapping her finger.
"is it-?" i ask shocked.
"it is, whenever one of us taps our ring it buzzes the other two." vinnie tells me.
i grab both lyla and vinnie's hand and see the same exact ring i have.
"thank you." i hug them both.
"i love you guys." lyla muffles.
