I wake up to bouncing on the bed. I groan pushing my face closer to Morticia's neck. "ITS CHRISTMAS. MAMA MOMMY WAKE UP!" Our now 6 year old daughter shouts again and again whilst jumping up and down. I roll over and I pull Raven down so she's laid between me and Morticia "alright! Merry Christmas honey". I place a kiss on her cheek as she giggles.

"Did you get baby any presents mama?" She asks. I look to Morticia before shaking my head "No Ray..we are..waiting until the baby is bigger". In all honesty its me who doesn't want to buy anything. It was heartbreaking having to sell all of corbyn's things. I still dont think ill have this baby. I haven't been able to get past 10 weeks with the first few after Raven and then I got to buying things and naming corbyn before I lost him. I can't do that again.

Raven gets up and starts to bounce on the bed again "Come on! Come on!". Morticia smiles and places a kiss on my lips before helping me up. She helps raven down and watches as the small girl runs to the top of the stairs.

I notice her eyes looking over my body and hovering over my stomach "what?". "You've gotten bigger mon cheri" she says with a grin on her face. I look down and my stomach has indeed grew "I.. uh..its just bloat tish. Don't get too excited about it.". I hear her sigh as I leave the room.

We sit and watch as Raven unwraps her presents. After she has opened them all there are still a few presents left under the tree from Morticia to me and from me to Morticia. I get up and I grab the two piles. I go to sit back down on Morticia's lap but I stop when I spot a present with 'To baby Frump' written on it.

I look up at her with an angry look on my face before smiling at Raven "Hey Ray why don't you go and get ready to go to the family dinner?. She nods and runs upstairs after picking up a rest and some tights she got.

I put my pile down and I throw the present at morticia "your taking that back". "Why would I do that?" She asks opening it for me. I look down at the black baby grow with black boots ontop. "Take it back" I spit out before walking out of the room.

I hear her footsteps following me as she shouts "Nyx you are nearly 20 weeks! Your further than you've ever got with any of the last few". "I don't give a fuck. I could still loose it so there is no point buying anything...just take those back" I tell her going into the bathroom and slamming the door.

When I go up to the bedroom after a while I spot Morticia stood at the mirror putting lipstick on. She glances at me but doesn't speak. I roll my eyes and I go into the closet I grab out a red dress and some heels and I change into them before going back out. I pick up a ribbon off of the dresser and I walk over to the mirror.

I stand infront of Morticia as I use the mirror to fix my hair. I feel her hands sliding onto my hips and I relax back against her. I go to move when her hands move to my stomach but she stops me "Nyx just..stay". I sigh nodding slightly. A smile forms on Morticia's face making me smile.

However I stop smiling when I feel...kicking? "What?" Morticia asks as I move away from her. I fake being confused as I fake a smile "what do you mean what?". "You were happy and then your mood shifted. You looked shocked or confused mon cheri. Is everything okay?" Tish tells me. I scoff at her and I laugh "don't be silly..I just..realised what time it is and that we need to get going". She follows me out as I walk out and I go downstairs.
