CHRISTMAS DAY

•{JADA}•

I awoke to the sounds of puckering. The side of my face was getting covered with kisses. "Elijah." I swatted him away but that didn't stop him from coming back. Then I heard whispers. What threw me off was that it wasn't Elijah.

Whispers of a child make their way to my ear. "Momma." I make out the distinct sounds of a little girl as she mumbled to herself.

"JJ," another little girl whispered.

"Daddy." I peeked one eye open. I had seen Miya, a little older, sitting on the end of the bed. After I looked beside me, I was shocked to see a little girl sitting right next to me. "It's ok. Try to wake her up again." She jumped and fell on me. "Mommmmy." I giggle and swooped her into my arms. I then grabbed Miya. "Come here you little cutie pies." I tickled them both as they both giggled. I could hear Elijah laughing as he sat onto the bed. The second little girl looked just like me and had black curly hair.

Elijah swiftly let's go of a glass plate, handing it to the child. "Sinéad, you gonna show mommy what you made?"

She struggled to place a plate of breakfast in front of me. "Aww, baby." I cupped her face and kissed her forehead. "Mommy is so proud of you, baby girl." Filled with so much gratitude, I place a chaste kiss onto my husbands lips earning a disgusted look from our children. "Here JJ," Miya says, placing down an orange colored smoothie. "It's mango."

I kissed her cheek and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you so much. What would I be without you?"

I could feel the expression on my face as I began to fade away from the dream. Oh to see it in real life for myself.

"Hon, Merry Christmas." Elijah whispered. I softly hugged him as his sweet cologne engulfed me. "You just gonna lay here, smelling me? Huh?"

I let out a heartfelt laugh before letting him go. But he quickly pressed his body against me. "I had a dream." He paused his kissing journey. "About what?"

I giggled as he tickled my sweet spot. I pushed him away before sitting up against the head frame. "Our daughters." His eyes lit up as I mentioned our children. "I saw Miya and another baby girl. She's beautiful." He grasped my hand, playing with my engagement ring. "What's her name?"

"Sinéad." He paused and looked up with twinkled eyes. "Th-Thats very pretty." I pecked his cheeks. "What's wrong, Bubba?" I asked as he gave me a saddened look.

He pulled away, sitting up. My eyes examined his torso which was covered with a plain white t shirt. The cuffs hugged his biceps perfectly. "I just... I can't wait for this new journey we're on. I can't wait to see her. Even if the baby's a boy, it's something to laugh about." I pecked his repeatedly.

"Ok, let's get ready to meet everyone." I slipped out of bed, starting my daily routine. He did the same then pulled me into his embrace. "I love your PJs," he says, rubbing my hip and fluffy material.
