Coming Home (4)

Riley's POV
"Mumma! It chwismas! Wake uuuuuuup" I hear from the pink baby monitor beside my bed, Bella is still in her crib but in her own room now. She's still too young for a bed, but that may change by her next birthday.
"Mummaaaaaa!!" She whines down the line, knowing I can't resist that sound of my baby girl upset, while James is asleep beside me.

Softly, I creep out of bed and down the hall to Bella's room. James and I moved into a four bedroom house a few months after Bella was old enough to sleep in her own bedroom. Each bedroom has plenty of room, there's also a playroom, office and dance room. Downstairs there's James private music room, basically no kids incase they break the instruments, the dining room, a large kitchen-diner, a bigger living room and garage.

"Mumma!" Bella giggles as I walk to her crib and lift her out, her pink fluffy sleep suit acting as a comforter for my 2 and a half year old. I cuddle her for a minute or two before speaking
"Shall we go see if Jack is awake?" I ask, playing with my daughters long-ish dark brown curls.
"Yes. Jack Jack" she giggles, as I place her down and take her hand, leading her to the bedroom of her 7 month old brother.

It took James only 2 hours to get me pregnant again, on the same day Bella said her first proper word. At first Bella wasn't happy having a little brother, she thought he took all the attention away and that we didn't love her anymore. However at 3 months, Jack developed bad influenza, one afternoon I found Bella sat by the crib talking to her brother, offering him her soft toys, and even praying. Ever since that afternoon Bella has loved Jack infinitely. She looks after him, tries to help feed him, shares her toys, plays with him, cuddles him, etc.

"Jack Jack" Bella whispers as we enter my sons room.
Jack gurgles and coos at us, reaching out to baby Bells.
Bella slips her hand through the bars and holds onto her brothers hand, telling him all about Christmas.
"Andddd-uh if we good. Santa bwings pwesents" she babbles, her eyes lit up
"Come here little man" I whisper, picking up Jack, resting his head on my shoulder and grabbing my shirt, sucking his pacifier softly. His dark eyes watch me, as I kiss his near black hair, just like his fathers.

"Mumma can we get Dadda?" Bells asks, followed by a giggle
"Of course baby Bells, we can't get our presents until dadda is here" I tell her, and she toddles off towards my and James room, followed by me, carrying Jack.

"Dadda" Bella squeals, climbing onto the bed, then climbing onto her dad.
"Dadda, its chwismas, wake uppp" she pulls on his arm, before James picks her up and holds her above him, pretending to drop her a few times, causing squeals of joy to come from my daughter.

I smile at the pair, gently rocking and bouncing Jack in my arms.
"How's my sexy girlfriend this morning?" James smirks at me, once he's put Bella down and she's nuzzling my pillow
"I'm good, baby" I smile softly, leaning down and kissing him softly, gaining a kiss on the cheek as we part.

"And my little man" James grins softly, as I pass Jack over to him, who lays on James' chest on his tummy, looking at his dadda, who pulls faces at him, whilst holding my hand.
Jack laughs at James, then looks up at me, then back to his Dadda
"Have you fed him yet babe?" James asks, ruffling Jacks little tufts of hair
"Nah, Im gonna do it downstairs, let Bella open her presents" I respond, as Bella grins and looks up at me.

James passes me Jack, then throws on a pair of sweats, before picking up Bells. I grab Jacks burping blanket and follow James, who's carrying Bella down the stairs, as we have stair gates for the kids. 
Bella gasps as she sees the presents neatly laid out below the tree, then the empty plate of milk and cookies she left for Santa last night.
"Santa came! Santa came!" She cheers and giggles, kneeling in front of the tree as soon as James puts her down.
