Jamie P.O.V.
"Mommy wake up" I hear Aleah say quietly. I smile then open my eyes and look at her. "Merry Christmas baby" I say. "Merry Christmas mommy" she smiled. "Hurry up get up so you can open the presents I got you" she says. I laugh. "Brush your teeth?" I ask. She nods her head. "Smell" I say and she opens her mouth and I smell. "Minty fresh" I laugh and she giggles. I sit up and stretch.

"Um go wake up Lala and Heaven and Ne'" I say to her, she runs away. I stand up and limp to my bathroom. Sean dumbass. I used the bathroom and brush my teeth. I was going to bathe but decided against it cause Aleah said we have to open our gifts in her pj's like Santa intended, and I had a bath after we had sex.  After a while of sitting on my bed, I stand up, where the hell is Sean? I walk to Treys room but he isn't there, neither is Trey.

I walk downstairs and everyone is on the floor, including Sean big ass, sitting infront of our white Christmas tree, decorated in blue ornaments and pictures of the kids and pets. Riley is actually getting really old, shes about to make 15 years in a couple months, she been my real R.O.D. I sit down on the floor and smile at them. Aleah made everyone wear the same pajama. "So does everyone have their bible" I ask. They all raise their phone except the younger ones who had actual bibles.

I've made it a tradition to read the story of Christmas every Christmas morning. I start reading and everyone takes a turn reading. We all close our bibles and put away our phone. "Okay um I think Ava should go first"I say. She picks up a small box and rips it open, revealing a jewelry set cause she kinda outgrew her old ones. "Oh my gosh" she says admiring it. "Next present" she mumbles. Her vocabulary is amazing for a 2 year old. I laugh.

Everyone sorts out their presents and starts opening them. "Thanks Lala" Sean mumbles putting on his apple watch. I open the gift from Jayla. "Thankyou baby"I say looking at the shoes she bought me, all my kids know I can't walk in heels for anything so they always buy me sneakers. I think each one of the kids got about 6 pairs of shoes, I'm getting better, last year they got 13 each. " the presents from me in the kitchen" Sean says. Everyone stands up and walks into the kitchen. I see about 8 damn Skywalkers on the floor. I laugh.

"Oh my gosh, thankyou so much Sean" they squeal. Everyone has their own customized one. "You got one for King and Cam too?" I mumble surpised. "Yeah, they my kids too"he mumbles. I smile, that's why I love my baby. I get onto mines then fall, forget this shit. "Mommy look" Leah says spinning around on hers, I laugh. The doorbell rings and Jayla goes to answer it and comes back with her dad, King, Cam, and them two chicks. "Merry Christmas" I say flipping pancakes. He smiles "merry Christmas".

"I got a present for yo ass, it's in the living room" he says. I look at him confused then put the last pancake on the plate and walk into the living room. A box is in the middle of the floor. "Jaden if something jump out and try to kill me, you dieing with me" I promise him. He chuckles. "Just lift the box up" he chuckles. I lift the box up, revealing a solid black pitbull puppy, I knew it was a pitbull cause my dad had many of them when we were growing up.

I smile and look back at him. The puppy looks at me then starts roaming around. "Jaden, you didn't have to"I mumble. "I know" he says. I laugh then hit his shoulder. "What you finna name him?" He ask. I start thinking. "I want to name him Shepherd" I say, saying the first name that came to mind. He chuckles then nods his head. "Why you and Sean always tryna put my kids in danger, first Roxy now Shepherd" I laugh, even though he's still a puppy he is still capable of doing damage.

"I know you'll train him well" Jaden says. Riley walks from the back and sees Shepherd then looks at me like bitch is you tryna replace me already? I burst out laughing at my own stupid joke. "Jamie you okay" Jaden ask. I laugh then nod my head. Riley looks at Shepherd then struts away into the kitchen, making Shepherd follow her. I laugh and shake my head. "Thankyou" I say then hug him.

"Oh here's your gift, it isn't as good as yours but, yeah" I mumble handing his gift. He unwraps it and looks through the scrap book I had made, it had many pictures, don't try to call me cheap, he said If I was to get him something to not buy him anything or he'd throw it away, he wants something from the heart, so yeah. "Oh yeah, and these"I mumble pulling the tickets from between my laptop. He looks at them for a while before realizing what tickets they were.

"Yall coming for real!"he says like a little kid, I laugh and nod my head. "I talked to my family and friends last night and they said that they're cool with it,as long as we do come down every month, and my momma and Raven will hold down the bakery while I'm gone, but I'm actually  carrying the bakery up there, I'm making a next sensational treats in LA and in taking some of my workers." I say. He smiles at me. I smile and we walk back into the the kitchen to see the girls playing with Shepherd and Riley. Cacey starts walking to the back. "Don't go back there,what are you looking for?"I ask for her own sake. "Um the bathroom, your boyfriend told me to go back there" she says. I hit Seans shoulders. "There's a bathroom right there" I mumble pointing behind me. She nods her head then walks behind me. Sean was chuckling, and Jaden glared at him. Back there is where we kept Roxy when people were over, and it only has one door back there so of course she would've opened that one. I laugh then sit down. My family is finna move to LA and we finna start our little careers up there. Maybe model, act, sing, dance, we finna make it big in LA.
