This year for Christmas, we are having people over at our house. Scarletts coming and so are Lizzie's family so it's going to be very busy. The roast chicken is already in the oven ready for lunch and the veggies are all prepared to start cooking. Lizzie decided we should get the biggest tree we could find this year because we are having guests over.
"Honey can you get the Yule log out of the oven!" Lizzie shouts from up the stairs "yeah!" Leia jumps off me allowing me to go into the kitchen and take out Lizzie's cake. I put it on the stove and check it's cooked by sticking in a skewer "is it okay?" Lizzie asks "yeah its-wow" I shout being amazed by what she's wearing "you look gorgeous too baby" she mumbles coming over to me. We kiss and then pull apart "come on. They'll be here soon and there's still so much to do" I roll my eyes as she turns up the oven for the chicken. One thing we wanted to do this Christmas is take alot of family photos and photos of Leia under the tree. Lizzie holds her butt in position whilst I snap the photo "good girl!" I give her a treat and she runs back to her bed whilst nibbling it.

Finally the first guest arrives and the doorbell alerts us. Leia jumps up and starts barking like a crazy doggy "okay okay, its exciting I know" I gently nudge her away with my foot she I'm able to answer. "I knew it was you!" I shout and pull Scarlett into a hug "you look exhausted" I tease pulling away "yeah, I'm not surprised. You look gorgeous" she smiles making me blush "you do too but I want to see the baby" I tell her and look past her. Romain's holding Roses car seat and also a massive bag of presents "Hiya baby. Aww your so cute" I rub her little chubby cheeks and adjust her little hat "I'll take her, you look like you've got your hands full" I laugh talking to Romain "thank you" I smile and take the car seat "you look alot better" I nod and carry the carseat inside. "Let's get you a spot on the sofa before everyone else come huh" "hey Leia!" Scarlett pets her and so does Romain. The three of us go into the lounge and I put the carseat on the floor, Leia instantly sticks her nose in making us laugh "gentle" I whisper and unbuckle Rose. "Where's Lizzie?" Romain questions "im here" we all look around to Lizzie smiling. She kneals next to me and holds Leia back "merry Christmas" they tell her "merry Christmas to you too. And you little flower" I lift up Rose and hold her in my arms "you are such a cutie" I coo and she smiles adorably with her tongue sticking out and making noises. "Alright, my heart's broken" I joke and stand up, I lay her on the sofa and tickle her tummy "Lizzie I brought the things" Scarlett says "okay, do you want to come and help?' She nods and they both stand up "what are you two going?' I smile holding Roses legs "it's a surprise" Lizzie smirks and both walk away. I pick up Rose and rock her in my arms "your such a beautiful little girl" I smile looking down at her.
The doorbell rings again and Leia curled a obviously the first one there barking again. Rose starts to squirm in my arms not being too happy about the noise "Leia shush" i tell her sternly and bounce rose in my arms. I open the door with one hand "Merry Christmas!" Jarnette says and hugs me with one arm "you too. I'm not sure where Lizzie is, she's being mysterious but come in" she pets Leia as she also welcomes her and takes off her shoes. "I swear everytime we see you, you've got something new" Ashley smiles "she's not mine. Even though I do wish she was" I coo and rub roses cheek "she is adorable. Anyway merry Christmas" Ashley hugs me over the baby and then Mary Kate also does. The twins both take off their shoes and hang their belongs up on the pegs "can I hold her?" Mary-Kate whines and I nod, rose slides from my arms to hers "aww your so cute" she coos making me smile, MK adjusts her little hat and runs her hands up and down Roses nose "hopefully you'll persuade auntie Y/n and Lizzie to have a baby" I laugh and show her to the lounge. "She gets to hold the baby! That's so unfair" Ashley pouts "you'll be able to" I promise her "I'm going to find Lizzie" they nod looking over the baby not really listening to anything I'm saying.
"Lizzie" I call going into the kitchen "Scarlett" I go outside but there's still noone there "Elizabeth!". I hear noise coming from upstairs "go find mama" I tell Leia and I follow her upstairs, she stops outside the spare room door. I nock on it twice "yeah" Scarlett calls from inside "hey, is Lizzie in there?" There's a moment of silence and then the door opens. Lizzie sticks her head out "what are you doing?" "A surprise". I look down at Leia and sigh a little "hey" she says and steps out closing the door behind her "what's wrong?" I look up at her and smile softly "I just want to spend Christmas with you" she pulls me in close by my hips and leans her forehead against mine "we will, I promise. I just need to finish this off first with Scarlett and mom" "I love you" "I love you more" I lift my head up and wait for her to attach her lips. "I love you babe. Go downstairs and take Leia with you, I promise I won't be long" I nod and pick up Leia.
"Okay, give me the baby" I instruct and take the baby from Ashley "excuse me!" She says as I sit down "wait, why are you so pissed? It's Christmas fucking day" I look up from Rose "I'm not pissed I just..I just want to spend Christmas with Lizzie. She's busy upstairs working on a surprise and all I really want is to spend time with them". Ashley stands up "I'll go talk to my sister" she goes up stairs leaving Romain, MK and I in the lounge. Rose starts fussing so I give her the dummy calming her instantly "that wasn't to bad huh" I smile and put her back in her carseat to sleep. Leia instantly lays beside her like she's a guardian protector "I'm going to check on dinner" they nod and let me go to the kitchen. I turn the hob on to start cooking the vegetables and two arms wrap around me "I'm sorry" Lizzie whispers in my ear "it's okay" "no it's not. Even though I'm sure your going to love it, it's not fair I did it today". I turn around and smile "I love you so much y/n y/l/n" I hug her tightly just as the doorbell rings again. "Who's that? We aren't expecting anyone else" Lizzie shrugs and follows me to the door.
I open the door and see Nana and grandad standing infront of me. Tears fill my eyes and I hug them both tightly "careful with me" Nana jokes making me laugh and watery laugh. I pull away and wipe my eyes "I didn't know you were both coming" "Elizabeth invited us" she says and I turn back to Lizzie with a smile "come in" Lizzie says opening the door wider for them to come in. I take Nana's bag off her shoulder and hang it up on a peg "come in here, everyone's in here" I tell them and let Lizzie close the door. Scarlett and Jarnette have both come downstairs from whatever they were doing with Lizzie earlier "this is Scarlett, you remember her" Nana nods and holds Scarletts hand "it's lovely to see you again dear" "likewise" she pulls Scarlett into a hug. "Grandad, this is Jarnette Lizzie's mum and her sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley" I introduce my grandfather whilst Nana is nattering away to Scarlett. "You haven't changed a bit" he jokes talking about the television shows they were in, the twins laugh and Lizzie puts her arm around my waist. I smile at her and rest my head on her shoulder "what made you invite my grandparents?" I ask "well my family's here and it is only right you have someone here too. Also, they woulve spent it on their own and you haven't seen them in a while" I smile and hug her tightly "thank you" she kisses my forehead.
Nana got so excited seeing a baby so of course Scarlett gave Rose to her to hold. Nana's old now so even though she's partly there to holding a baby, she forgets to support their head so that's what I'm doing. "who's present should we do first?" I ask rubbing my knee with my spare hand, no body answers "lets go with the twins. One of you can go first" I say. Lizzie passes Ashley her present from us, she snuggles into me and plays with the ends of my hair. " you take" Nana says so I take Rose and sit her on my lap now she's old enough "Hiya Rosie" Lizzie whispers and strokes her hair, Rose looks up at her with a big smile and Scarlett laughs from the other side of the room. I kiss Roses head and wrap my arms around her securely before looking back over at Ashley. "Ga ooo" I frown looking down at Rose like everyone else "such purple monster" i tease and tickle her tummy making her giggle. Adorable. I catch Lizzie staring at me so I look back, she looks down at Rose and then back up at me "I want one" is all she whispers before kissing my cheek.
We've all opened presents, even Leia who got a ball. I got Lizzie an air fryer and a bracelet from pandora with charms which she loves, and Lizzie got me a blue tit bangle that made everyone laugh and a couple of bottles of molten brown shampoo which is my favourite. Scarlett comes back from feeding Rose whilst Lizzie serves up lunch dinner for everyone "thank you Liz, this looks amazing" Nana says rubbing Lizzie's shoulder "your welcome. I hope it's nice" she smiles and hands over another full plate. I take a scrap but of chicken and hold it in my fingers which Leia takes "good girl" I scratch behind her ears and she curls up in her bed. Rose starts crying in Romain's arms and Leias by her side "I'll go and put her down" Scarlett says about to stand up "I'll do it. You've been up and down enough" I tell her and take Rose. Leia follows me into the other room, I put Rose in her car seat and Leia is quick to sniff her all over. I lay her blanket over her and stroke her chubby cheeks "night night" I whispers and put her in a dark corner where she can sleep. I pick Leia up and take her back into the kitchen so Rose can sleep. "Lizzie-"
