~December 25, 2015 – Nick and Selena’s house, in their living room

Nick: Babe, where did you put my stuff?

Selena: I put it in our room, didn’t you check?

Nick: Yea, I can’t find my guitar or my laptop.

Selena: Did you check your study?

Nick: Yea, I looked everywhere.

Selena: Is it in the babies’ nursery?

Nick: I don’t know.

Selena: *smiles* Then go check. And hurry up, Joe and Demi are coming soon and so are my parents with Gracie. And I want this house to spotless when they get here.

Nick: Are you always like this when guests come over?

Selena: Oh yea. I get really OCD when everything isn’t going my way or if it looks dirty. I just can’t do it.

Nick: That’s adorable.

Selena: *scoffs* Go get your stuff and hurry. I need to get ready and so do you. I also have to get dinner ready too and I’m not going to get distracted again.

Nick: *chuckles* Last night distracted you?

Selena: Hmm, getting seduced by my future husband and almost forgetting what was going on in the kitchen? Yea, I think so. Get ready, babe. I don’t like to be late either. *walks towards the kitchen*

Nick: *walks upstairs to the babies’ nursery while they’re sleeping* I can’t believe that you two have someone like your mother and someone like me as your father. Just doesn’t make any sense.

Natalya: *coos*

Nick: *walks over to her crib and picks her up* Such a beautiful girl. You have the same glow like your mother. You are the most perfect daughter anyone could ask for.

*sings* Make it last forever

Come on baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me

You and I together

Come on baby won't you hold on to me, hold on to me

Natalya: *giggles*

Nick: *smiles* I love you and your brother so much, Nattie. I hope you never think that I never loved you. I’ll pray for you every night that your future husband, and please God let that be a long time, will love you so much that he won’t make the same mistakes I made with your mother.

Natalya: *closes her eyes, returning to sleep*

Nick: *kisses her forehead* Goodnight, my sweet baby girl. *puts her back in her crib* Seriously, where the hell is my guitar? *finds it behind the door* Great, now I don’t know where my laptop is.

Selena: *yells out* Nick! Hurry up!

Nick: *walks out of the nursery, closing the door, and walking back downstairs* I’m coming, I’m coming. I still can’t find my laptop.

Selena: You can find that later. I need you to get ready.

Nick: Alright. 

~Demi and Joe’s house, in their bedroom

Demi: Joe? Are you ready yet?

Joe: Yea, I’m coming. *leaves the bathroom into the bedroom*

Demi: Why do you always take too long in there? Isn’t that supposed to be a girl thing?

Joe: I need to look good.

Demi: *smiles* Of course you do, babe. Now we’re probably late.

Joe: I’m sure we’re fine. Nick texted me that Sel is stressing out over the entire party. So I’m pretty certain we’re okay.
