Burnin' It Down

Chapter Fifteen

Jason's POV
It's our last Christmas before the baby is born. Ryan and I are making our way to Georgia to pick up Keeley and Kendyl so they can spend their Christmas break with us. My family and Ryan's family are coming in town to Nashville this weekend for Christmas. We pull up to Jessica's house and I walk around the truck to help Ryan out. We walk up to the door and before I can knock, the door opens and the girls jump into my arms. "It's nice to see you too." I say laughing. When they pull away, they both turn around and hug Ryan and rub all over her belly. Jessica walks out with the girls' bags. "Oh my! How far along are you?" She asks Ryan. "7 months." Ryan tells her as she takes the bags from Jessica. Ryan walks with the girls to the truck as I'm telling Jessica when I'll bring the kids home. I walk back to the truck and help Ryan in and and then head back to Nashville.

We got home late last night and we all went straight to bed. I wake up this morning to the smell of breakfast and all three of my girls laughing. I get out of bed and put on my sweatpants and a t-shirt and make my way downstairs. I walk into the kitchen and I see Keeley and Kendyl helping Ryan make sausage gravy and biscuits. My favorite. I go up behind Ryan and kiss her cheek. "Morning handsome." She says turning to kiss me. "Morning daddy." Kendyl says hugging me. Once breakfast is finished, we all sit down and enjoy our breakfast before the families start rolling in.

Ryan's POV
Today is Christmas Day and I've been awake for hours getting the turkey and ham ready for dinner. I've been having stomach pains since late last night and it's making it hard to get anything done. I haven't told Jason because I don't want him to worry until there is something to worry about. My mom comes downstairs and starts to help me. "Honey, go back to bed for awhile. I got this." She tells me checking the food. "Thanks mom." I say kissing her cheek and going upstairs to crawl in bed with Jason.

Everyone is now awake and all the kids are dying to open their presents. We all sit around and watch the kids. I start getting one of those pains again and Jason takes notice. "You ok baby?" He asks with a concerned look on his face. "Oh yeah. Just having some pains. It's nothing to worry about." I say trying to convince him to drop it. "Come here." He says grabbing my hand and pulling me into the kitchen. "Jason, I promise that it's nothing. I think it's those Braxton Hicks contractions." "Promise to let me know if it gets worse?" He asks wrapping his arms around me. "I promise."

Christmas was a successful. Everyone is worn out and we have already gone to bed. "I have some names in mind for our son." I say before we fall asleep. "Whatcha got baby girl?" He asks. "Andrew, Dylan, Caleb, Jaxon." I say naming a few. "I like Jaxon. Jaxon Tate." He says with a smile. "Sounds perfect. Jaxon Tate it is." I say kissing him and falling asleep.
