"It's Christmas! It's Christmas!" Maggie and Jax were awoken by three little figures jumping on them.
Jax groaned and rolled over into Maggie's chest.
"Mommy wake up." Sam whined and shook the woman. She mumbled under her breath then rubbed her eyes. She slowly peeled them open to see Sam sitting by her head.
Mikey and Emmy jumped on Jax and tugged him awake while Sam tried to crawl on Maggie. She groaned as he shoved himself into her arms. She sighed and wrapped him in her arms.
"Mama." he mumbled and sucked on his thumb.
"Let's go open some presents okay?" Maggie sat up. "Let Giant wake up." she smirked at her boyfriend who was obviously not amused by the two kids jumping on him. "Mikey, Emmy, come on." she stood up with Sam on her hip and held her hand out to the others.
"Wake up Giant." Emmy whined. "Open da presents."
"He'll be down in a bit, won't he?" Maggie looked at Jax pointedly.
"Yeah yeah." he mumbled and rolled back over.
She laughed and guided her kids downstairs. They gasped when they saw the presents under the tree and ran over to shake the boxes.
Maggie smiled and rubbed her eyes. She walked into the kitchen where Cameron was making coffee.
"Want some?" he mumbled tiredly.
"Please." she sighed. "Make some for Jax too, the triplets woke him up this morning."
"Mama." Sam ran over to her and held his hand out to her. She sighed and lifted him into her hip. He held a stuffed animal to his chest and laid his head on her shoulder.
"Good morning." Kelly and Leslie walked into the kitchen. They both smirked at Maggie who didn't even look at them, she kept her focus on Sam who was being extra clingy today.
Cameron handed Maggie two coffees before going into the living room with Emmy and Mikey. Maggie sat on the couch and set Jax's coffee on the table in front of her.
"Morning guys." Jax walked in the room just as Matthew walked out of a room down the hall. They awkwardly walked past each other and Jax sat beside Maggie.
"Let's open presents!" Emmy squealed and ran over to Jax. He smiled as she jumped out of excitement before running back to the presents. Cameron sat on the ground next to them so he could read the names on the gift.
"Okay everyone here, let's get started." Jim and Patty walked in.
Sam sat on Maggie's lap as everyone opened presents occasionally opening one of his own.
"Here kid." Matt tossed a present towards Sam who whined when it hit his leg.
"The hell man." Jax sat forward angrily.
"Whys he being such a party pooper?" Leslie asked sitting on Matthews lap.
"He's just tired." Maggie glared at them and cupped Sams head.
"Mama for all of us." Emmy ran over and handed it to her.
"Help me open it baby." Maggie told her daughter and then nudged Sam to help. He grinned and ripped the wrapping paper off tossing it at Jax.
"Mama what's dis?" Sam asked holding up the present. Maggie furrowed her brows not recognizing the gift as one that she bought. She glanced up at Jax who was smiling softly at Sam.
She helped them get the wrapping off and realized it was a custom drawn picture. But not just any picture, its the one she keeps as her lock screen. Her and the triplets laying in a hospital bed during one of Sams appointments.
