"MERRY CHRISTMAS" Michael screamed throughout the house at the early hour of 5 am. Laken groaned next to me and pushed back against me,

"I'm going to kill him" she muttered. I chuckled lightly and tightened my arm as she moved her head back,

"Good morning" I whispered,

"Morning" she mumbled and pecked my lips. I then felt a kick against my hand that was rested on her stomach,

"Merry Christmas Baby F" I cooed, only to be interrupted by Michael,

"Get your asses up!" he busted in the door.

Laken and I dragged ourselves downstairs. Laken didn't get much sleep. The baby was up all night moving around. I woke up around 2 am when she let out a frustrated groan. I just held her closer and rubbed my hand in circles over her belly.

I took a seat next to Laken on the couch as Mikayla and Katie tiredly walked in, plopping down. Luke and Calum brought them coffee before we passed out presents.

Laken and I were the last to go. We had quite of few together presents that were things for the baby. Then we moved to our individual presents.

I let Laken go first, watching her unwrap things. I had no idea what to get her so I got her some clothes, new Vans, and more of her favorite soaps and stuff. Then I got her a necklace. Her eyes immediately went to mine when she pulled it out, holding it to where the letter 'F' was dangling,

"An 'F' for Baby F" she smiled, "Thank you"

I pecked her lips then moved to my gifts. The first thing I opened was a box drum. I used to have one but we have absolutely no idea where it is. She also got me a shit ton of clothes since all mine are gross and torn up.

Just as I went to open the last present, Laken grabbed my wrist,

"Don't show everyone"

I nodded and opened the box, grinning when I saw the leather bracelet with my daughter's name on it,

"This is amazing" I breathed. Laken smiled and I hugged her, closing the box so the others didn't see the name on it. All anyone knows, except for my mom, is that our daughter's name starts with 'F'.

The boys and I were going to make Christmas breakfast, but the girls insisted they would. So while they cooked, the four of us went out back to surf.

I hit quite a few waves before I stopped and just sat on my board in the water. Calum paddled over then sat up next to me,

"All that baby stuff you got make you nervous?" he questioned with a slight laugh,

"No" I shook my head, "I'm more excited. I can't wait for her to be here"

"We are too man. You and Laken are going to be amazing parents" Calum complimented,

"Thanks man" I smiled then spotted the girls. The girls waved us all in, making us paddle back to shore. We quickly dried off before making our way inside to see a variety of breakfast foods and fruit on the table,

"Eat up boys because it's Christmas movie marathon day!"
