Fitz held his daughter up by her waist. Jess reached out and placed a golden star ontop of the tree.

It was a tradition to them that they would set up the tree at the start of December and on Christmas eve have jess to place the star on top

"There we are!" Fitz said placing jess gently onto the ground

"It's lovely! " jemma exclaimed as jess smiled proudly.

Fitz looked at the star ontop of the tree and smiled "It's great! Couldn't of done it better myself"

Jess giggled and rolled on the floor playfully "when can I open presents! " she said leaping towards some neatly wrapped presents with her name on them

Fitz reacted immediately and picked his daughter up as she was about to pick up a blue and green wrapped present "no..no...no...that's to open tomorrow" he explained in a soft voice

Jemma smiled at jess "Don't worry. ...besides tomorrow there'll be more under the tree after Santa has visited"

Jess squealed with excitement "I hope I get that plush monkey I wanted! " she said jumping out of fitzs arms and running to her room

Jemma looked around at fitz

"So.... a plush monkey? " she said with a playful smile

Fitz chuckled "yeah. .."

Jemma hit his arm playfully

"She takes off her dad"
