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

Point of View: Josie

*Christmas Eve*
I woke up and realized what day it was, and realized that I needed to wrap over 20 presents.

Usually we would do secret Santa but since so many people are all over the state, I just thought, buy everyone a present, give it to them whenever I can.

I was on the last present when I smelt breakfast being made. I grabbed a suitcase from the closet, carefully packed each present into it and brought it downstairs.

"Wow Jose, so many presents!" Jinger exclaimed "who are they for?"
"Everyone!" I said excitedly.
"Josie! How?"
"My secret!" I said mischievously "shhhhh."

"Josie! Come here!" Jordyn said from upstairs.
"See ya Jinger!" I said and ran upstairs.
"What?" I said, chasing Jordyn. "Jordyn what?"
She turned around once we got to our room. "Jinger's friend that's a boy is here!"
"Really?!"

Then Mama's voice came on the speaker in the house. "Jinger, someone's here to see you. Go out to the gazebo as soon as you can."
"Let's go!" I said to Jordyn. We raced to the basketball court.
"It's raining." Jordyn said, looking up.
"Oh well. Look!" I said pointing to the gazebo.

"Jinger Nicole," Jeremy said "will you marry me?"
"Yes!" Jinger said, speechless "Oh my gosh, babe, yes!"
"I love you." Jeremy said.
"I love you." Jinger replied.
Then Jeremy looked over Jinger's shoulder at us. "Looks like we have an audience."
"WOOOOOOO!" I applauded and ran into the house, Jordyn following me.

"Guess who's got a new surprise!" Jinger said, hand in hand with Jeremy.

"Jinger!" Jessa said, running over.
Everyone swarmed Jinger to look at her ring. It was simple but definitely said Jinger.

Then out of the blue, someone's voice piped up. "Hey, I have something else to say too."

It was Joy.
"What's up Joy?" Jinger asked.
"I don't want to spoil this moment for you but y'all know Austin?"
"Ya."
"He asked me yesterday if I wanted to be in a courtship, and I said yes."

"Mr. Duggar, I'm sorry I skipped the courtship stage, I just couldn't imaging living for another year without being closer to Jinger." Jeremy apologized.
"It's alright Jeremy. I think it's time to change the intense courting ways. You have been polite and well meaning." Pops told him.
"Wow! Two of my daughters having big milestones! Michelle, this family is really growing fast." Pops said.
"Definitely. Then there will be a whole bunch of little ones on their way that we can love on even more!" Mama said, grinning ear to ear.
"It's almost time for y'all to go to bed." "Christmas comes faster when children sleep."

A/N:
Sorry I haven't updated lately, schools got me like 😵. Sorry these parts are also shorter.

Questions:
1. Do you celebrate Christmas? If so, how was it?
2. Did you know that Jessa's having twins in real life? In a new preview, it said that her pregnancy ultrasound had two heartbeats!
3. I know that in real life Jinger was proposed to in New York, but this works too.

Lastly, Happy almost 2017! This book is almost to an end, I'll try to have it done by New Years, but that might not happen.
