Anya's POV
Christmas is coming up soon. The twins are so excited they've been helping me decorate our house. There's lights decorating the outside of the house in a gentle glow of white lights. We also put some colored lights on the house at the twins request. There are icicle decorations hanging from the roof. Inside the doorframe is framed beautifully with white lights. The rails on the stairs have garland and pretty little lights with bows decorating them. We went and put lights on all the door frames in the house. We made little paper snowflakes and hung them around the kitchen.We put up the tree and the kids did most of the decorating for that. They put the lights and many of the ornaments on the tree. u helped them put the ornaments on the branches that were higher up. "Mama!! can i put the star on the tree?" Elizabeth asks. I smile at her. "of course. Leo do you have a problem with that?" I ask. "no Mama Elizabeth can do it" he says with a gentle smile. I smile at him. I lift Elizabeth up and she places the star on the tree. "should we plug everything in now...or should we wait til your dad gets home?" I ask. "I think we should wait til dad gets home" Leo says. I smile and we wait. Soon enough Damian walks through the door. He smiles as he sees us.
He walks over to us. "Well what's this?" He asks the kids. "We decorated the house for Christmas" Leo says shyly. Damian smiles and ruffles his hair. "Dad!! Let's plug in the tree!!" Elizabeth shouts. He laughs. He picks up Elizabeth and plugs the tree into the wall. It lights up. "You kids did such a good job decorating" I say. Damian gives me a light kiss. I smile. The days pass by and soon enough Christmas Eve is here. The kids finally go to sleep and Damian and I place the carefully wrapped presents under the tree. After that we go upstairs and I curl into Damian's chest and yawn. "Tired?" He asks. I nod. He wraps an arm around me and I fall asleep. "I hope they'll enjoy their Christmas..." I mumble as my eyes fall closed. "Me too Darling" he replies.
The next morning comes around. The gentle winter light shines through our bedroom window. It illuminates the soft face of my lover as he sleeps. He has the gentlest smile as his eyes flutter open and land on me. "Good morning my love" I say. He smiles at me. I kiss him and he hugs me. Eventually I get up and walk downstairs. "It's freezing " I say as I try to turn the heater up. I walk downstairs in a few layers of hoodies. Damian laughs. "Darling you get cold too easily" he says. I smile at him. I go to the kitchen and begin cooking breakfast. He comes up behind me and just hugs me, laying his head on my shoulder. Soon enough I put breakfast on the table just as two pairs of feet come running down the stairs. I smile as I'm greeted by two small faces.
"Good morning" I say. "Good mornin Mama" they say. They get into their chairs and we eat. "Mama I'm done can we open our presents now?" Elizabeth asks impatiently. I laugh. "Not yet wait a little longer for Leo and your dad to finish eating" I reply. She pouts. I ruffle her hair. Then there's a knock at the door. I get up to answer it. "Mama! Papa!" I say in surprise. "Hey Merry Christmas Anya" Mama says. I hug them and welcome them inside.
Damian's POV
Anya welcomes our unexpected guests inside. We clean up from breakfast and then sit in the living room around the Christmas tree. Anya's Mom, Yor, starts to hand out the gifts from under the tree, including the gifts they got for the kids. The kids look so excited. "Start with one guys okay?" Anya says. They both nod. They each pick out a gift to open. Then the hour goes on with the kids opening their presents. Soon they have opened all their gifts. "Thank you Mama, thank you dad" the kids says."Do you guys like your presents?" Anya asks a little worriedly. They both smile and hug her. She hugs them back. "We loved every present Mama" they say. "Thanks guys. I love you both so much" she says. They smile at her and she smiles back. We all sit and talk. The kids play with their new presents. "Oh right we have a present for you guys" Yor says. "We weren't sure what to get you so we hope you like it" Loid says. Anya carefully takes the wrapped box. She gently removes the wrapping paper. It reveals a brown box. Anya opens the box and she stops to look up at her parents. She almost looks like she's going to cry from pure joy. She then looks at me.
She opens the box to reveal a canvas with all of our favorite moments from childhood to parenthood. I smile at her. I kiss her on the head. She holds it to her chest. "Thank you guys so much!! I love it!!" She says with tears rolling down her cheeks. She hugs her parents and they hug her back. "You're doing such a great job in life and I can't wait to see what your future looks like" Yor says. Anya pulls away and smiles at them. I grab a nail and hammer. Anya sees me and follows me to the wall. I hammer the nail into the wall above the couch and she hangs it there.
I hug her. "Well it's time we should be heading home" Loid says. Yor agrees. "Elizabeth!! Leo!! Grandma and Grandpa are leaving!!" Anya shouts. They come running down the stairs. They run up to Yor and Loid and give them hugs. "Thank you for the gifts!" They say smiling. They smile back down at the twins. Anya opens the door and they step outside. We wave goodbye to them. Anya then closes the door. "You guys can go back up and play in your room if you'd like" Anya says. Elizabeth giggles. "What?" I ask confused. "Mama and Dad are standing under the mistletoe" she says. We shake our heads with smiles. They both decide to run back up the stairs. Anya turns to me looking into my eyes. She wraps her arms around my neck as I wrap mine around her waist. I lean down and kiss her. We both close our eyes as we lean into the kiss. This was a perfect Christmas.
Hey everyone!! This was supposed to be out earlier today but it wasn't ready yet and I was posting on my YouTube channel and hanging out with my mom who I barely get to see. I am in Utah for Christmas though and it is freezing and I'm saying this as someone who lives in a generally warm state. Anyway I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and if you don't celebrate Christmas I hope you had a wonderful holiday. Have a good day/night!!!
Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
