I woke up with about a thousand kisses being peppered all along my face. But what really woke me up was the long kiss on my lips.

I let my eyes flutter open as the lips left mine, coming eye to eye with my husband,

"Good morning. Merry Christmas" he whispered then let his lips press against mine again, causing my hand to gently find his cheek,

"Merry Christmas" I smiled back. He smiled softly then let his head lay on my chest and his arms encircle my bump. As soon as his arms were around me, baby boy was moving around and kicking against me. I let my hand find Ashton's hair, running my fingers through it and lightly scratching his scalp. It was a wonderful moment that I know will continue even more when Jaxtyn is born.

"When should we head down to your family?" I asked quietly, not really wanting to disturb this moment but knowing we needed to.

"We probably need to get up" Ashton sighed, slowly sitting up and climbing out of bed, "We gotta put on our matching pajamas!"

I chuckled and sat up, shivering at the cold air. I got out of bed and Ashton and I put on our matching red Mickey Mouse Christmas pajama pants. Ashton put on a simple white T-shirt and I tossed on a white knitted shirt. The pajamas came with shirts but I could not comfortably fit in it, so we decided to just do plain shirts. Once we added socks, we headed downstairs to join the family,

"Good morning guys" Anne grinned as we stepped off the steps, my hand instantly going to my back. Ashton made me sit while he went and grabbed coffee,

"How do you feel?" Anne asked me,

"Huge" I laughed. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and I'm over it. I'm fine when I'm laying down now, but the second I stand it's over. I can't stop peeing and my head is constantly aching.

"He'll be here soon" She smiled as Ashton returned, followed by Lauren and Harry.

Harry and Lauren opened their stuff first then it went to Ashton and me. The majority of our stuff was for both of us. We both knew it was baby stuff. We didn't have a baby shower and we purposely held off on some things because we knew we'd get stuff at Christmas. Hell, his family yesterday basically supplied us with a year's wardrobe for Jaxtyn.

I opened the first box and my heart melted at the blue baby blanket with his name on it and the light brown teddy bear in blue pajamas to go with it,

"This is so cute" I gushed,

"Ashton had almost the same thing. I'm pretty sure his are in his memory box in the storage closet" Anne smiled and made Ashton blush, "He slept with those until he was at least 12"

We opened some clothes and some pacifiers and bottles, then I picked up a tad bigger box. I opened it up and saw the nice diaper bag and a breastfeeding pump- the one I've been wanting but we couldn't get anywhere because of backorder,

"Just a tip, when you all get home, I suggest you start pumping and freezing milk. It'll make a difference" Anne noted. I thanked her and definitely intend to do that. She's been giving me lots of advice and tips, which I'm very grateful for.

Ashton and I also got some individual things as well, but mainly stuff for the baby which we loved,

"Jaxtyn's spoiled and he's not even here yet" Ashton laughed,

"Just wait until next year. He's going to have a huge Christmas" I chuckled, making Ashton nod and then gasp,

"We get to be Santa next year" he teared up, making his brother and sister laugh but me smile,

"I can't wait"
