The Duggars: Who Knows How Many in Counting...

Point of View: Josie

I am very excited. Christmas is coming up so soon! Of course it's not like when I was younger, I understand that Christmas is about Jesus and not presents, although presents are nice too.

"Jana, can we talk to you?" My father asked her. Jana obeyed and followed him and Mama, they walked into the one room off of the kitchen.
I ran and pressed my ear against the door.
"We were thinking, if possible, would be great if you would invite Dawson and his family for Christmas."

I have always wanted to meet Dawson.
I had hoped he would have been a great guy, especially since he's stayed by Jana's side while she was going through what was happening in our family, assuming she's told him.

"Josie, privacy please." Jill said from behind me.  This time, everyone was back again. It was Christmas time, the family was staying at the house. Jill, Derick, Israel, Sayla and Izabel, Jessa, Ben, Spurgeon, Thomas and Erin, Josh, Anna and the kids; basically the entire gang.

We had dinner, the usual. Then Pops announced. "Hey y'all. Bible time." When we had a whole family bible time, things didn't go so well.

"It's almost Christmas soon!" Madison said excitedly. Anna looked at her and smiled. "Yes. Two sleeps then Santa will be here."

"Okay. Let's go around and say what you want for Christmas." Pops said since we were finished reading the bible for that night.

Jana stared first. "Pops, Mama and I have talked and I have invited Dawson to come and stay with us."
"I hope to finally pass my drivers test." Justin said.
"Well. You've all heard about me talking about Jeremy lately. I would like for Jeremy to come for Christmas." Jinger said when it was her turn.
"What about you Josie?" Mama asked
"I hope that everyone on earth has a great Christmas." Really, there was a boy I had had my eye on. I didn't want to say anything because I didn't know if he would like me.

"I want a baby doll." Erin said.
"Erin, did you know that there's going to be a lot of babies joining our family next year?" Mama asked her.
Erin's face lit up.

"Yes, Jessa's babies, Jana's babies, and Anna's baby."
"Speaking of, do we have any information? Like genders? Names?" Dad hinted.

"Well, I think it's only fair to tell you when Dawson is here as well." Jana said.
"Any hints? At all?" Pops begged. I think he was trying hard to let Jana know he forgave her.
"Well. Let's just say we know the genders and have name ideas and meanings. That's all I'm saying." Jana said.
"What bout you Jess?" Mama asked.
"Well, Ben and I found out yesterday the genders a-"
"I helped pick out the names!" Spurgeon butted in excitedly.
"Spurgeon your mama was talking. Please wait your turn."
"Oh. Sorry Mama." Spurgeon apologized.
Jessa laughed "We picked out names, with Spurgeon and Erin's help."
"We also chose a name for the boy we are adopting." Ben announced.
"It's official?" Pops asked. Mama looked excited too.
"Ya. We chose the name Thomas Eaton Seewald for him." Ben continued.
"And for the triplets, Spurgeon wanna tell them how many baby brothers you're getting?" Jessa asked.
"Two!"
"What about your other baby?" Jinger asked.
"Erin! What's the other baby?" I asked her.
"Sister!" Erin said, looking up from playing with toys.
Everyone started cheering.
"Wait wait what about the names?" Johannah asked.
"We chose Isla Rose, Gavin Tyler and Trevor Romain." Jessa said with a huge smile. "There isn't a large meaning behind either of the names but we liked them."
"I chose Gavin and Trevor!" Spurgeon said.
"Those are brilliant!" Pops said to him with a smile.

It was late and everyone was tired. The younger kids went to bed and everyone else started peeling off to bed, one or two at a time.

The "grandkids" were sleeping in a different room with Jana, Jill, Anna and Jessa. Jinger, Joy, Johannah, Jennifer, Jordyn and I were in our usual room. Then Jana, Jill, and Jessa came in.

"Relive old times sake?" Jessa asked poking her head around the door.
"Ya!" Jinger said, moving over, patting a seat on her bed.
A lot of the beds were removed so Jill went to Jennifer's bed, Johannah ran over to Jordyn's and Jana came to mine.
"The last time we did this, we had to be quiet because you four were sleeping." Jill said laughing.

A/N:
Hey guys! Just saying, thanks for 3K now! I'm sorry I haven't updated lately. I keep forgetting that these parts don't have to be so long. Do you like having them be longer or shorter?
Do you guys read these authors notes?

Anyways, question time!
1. What do you think about Jana's situation?

2. What about Jill and Derick? Will they have more kids anytime soon in this story?

3. How many of you watch Counting On!?

4. I feel that this story is going to be over sooner than later.... What should the next book be called?

5. Which of the Duggars should I include more of? I feel that I've only focused on some of them more than others.

Spam with comments! I'd love to read your thoughts on my book!
Anyways, thanks! Vote, comment and share with your friends!
