1 year later

"I can't believe my bubble bee is already a year old." Ana says as she get Carrie (our nickname for Caroline) ready for Christmas dinner at my parents house. We had her birthday party last Sunday instead of on Christmas day. We wanted to have a day just for her. It's been the best year of my life just watching our daughter grow up.

*Flashback* 1st year of life

"Holy shit.. I mean shot. ANA, what are we feeding her?" I ask as I try my hardest not to puke my guts at the diaper full of sticky greenish black poop and smells even worse.

"Just breast milk. The doctor said to expect this within the first few bowel movements." She is trying really hard not to laugh at me. I offered to be the diaper changer Carrie first week since Ana did all the hard work delivering our angel. I was not aware it would be this bad though.

"Did you see her smiling at me? Look, Ana?" I says as Carrie smiles at me again.

She has grown so much over the last 3 months. She can hold her rattle, smile and raises her head. I don't know how we survived with our angel. She makes us complete.

"Oh really, well what did you say back?" I hear Ana talking to Caroline who in return babbles back to her mother. I have walked in to her and Ana having conversations since she started cooking. Carrie is now 6 months old and Now that she has more control over her head we have made play dates with Annabella and Charlie who are now a 13 months old. They are amazing little mini Mia's when it comes to getting what they want. Charlie is starting to look a lot like his dad except the dark hair but Belly is all Mia. Aaron and I agreed to take shooting classes when our girls get older.

"Is your momma talk your ears off again, Carrie?" I walk in and she instantly looks at me with a bright smile. She loves her momma but she is 100 percent a daddies girl. I was so happy when she kept her beautiful grey eyes. She is a roll on her belly queen. I was lucky enough to be there when she did it for the first time.

"Are you gonna crawl to momma or daddy? Come her baby girl?" Carrie is now 8 months old and she always crawls to Ana but now I really want her to come to me first.

"That right come to daddy.." She crawls to me and I pick her up while she claps her hands.

"Christian, I pretty sure she said da." Ana calls me from her office. She takes Carrie to Operation Hope every now and again. She placed Abby in a hire level so that when Carrie was born she wouldn't be needed at the shelter as much. Now Mia, Leila and Ana spend most of their days together at our house on the Sound. CJ loves being the oldest and he makes sure the babies 'listen'.

"I'm coming over now. I don't want to miss her saying her first word." I grab my jacket and head towards my car, Taylor in tow.

"Can you say mama or dada? Come on baby girl, I know you can say. Momma or Dada."

"Da da da da" She says through her babbles

"That's right baby girl. Say dada for the camera." I'm standing at her office door watching my two favorite girls talk. As soon as Carrie see me she smiles and says 'dada'.

"Yes, I'm dada. I'm so proud of you." I say as I walk to pick her up.

"How are my girls today?" I kiss Ana and sit on her couch.

"Happy Birthday!!" We all quielty yell at Caroline as Ana brings out her birthday cake.

The main cake has 'Super Why' character Princess Pea while her smash cake is just plain vanilla cake with light frosting.

"Make sure you get tons of pictures, please." Ana ask our photographer

Carrie has cake all over herself and the table. Ana waves me over so we can get a picture and as soon as we get close enough we both have cake all over our cheeks.

"That's my niece" Elliot laughs

**END FLASHBACK*

"Are you ready to go see GG and papa?"

"ma ma ma ma ma ma" My perfect angel says as she gets excited hearing her mother's voice.

"Yes, baby girl that's your mama. Let's go celebrate your first Christmas." She claps her hand.

She is dressed in a beautiful a red tulle and white snowflake dress with white shoes. We are also bringing a white top the say "Too cute for the naughty list"and white and red striped leggings. She is gonna wear a green and red bow all day well unless she pulls it off.

Where's that grandbaby of mine?" Carla says as she comes out of my parents house.

Carrie babbles away excited to see her grams. Carla takes her from me and walks back inside where I hear my mom and sisters squeal in delight of Carrie's arrival.

"Sometimes I think they wouldn't notice if we just left." Ana laughs as I steal a moment alone with my love.

"Come on love birds, let's open presents." Elliot always ruining our moments.

"El, stop it we just got back from our honeymoon. How would you feel if they always interrupted us?" That's right Mel and Elliot got married last month. They surprises us all by eloping on a trip to Vegas. Grace and Frank( Mel's dad ) were both upset but Mel and Elliot agreed to have party after the New Year.

" Mel, I still can't believe you married that." I joke but Elliot smacks my head and we start getting into only to be stopped by mom dad hollering.

"Now, where's my birthday girl?" We go in search of my daughter and find all the children sitting on the couch while all the women are taking pictures.

"DA dadadada" My baby says holding her hands out for me to come rescue her.

"What are these crazy women doing baby girl?" I kiss her

"Merry Christmas, We're PREGNANT!" I look around and see our parents looking shocked as they don't know who made the announcement since all the girls screamed it at one time.

"Are you guys ready to have a few more grandchildren running around?" Mia ask

"Mia. Are you pregnant with twins again?"

"Nope, just one this time."

"Okay. Who else?"

"Mel and I are both about 7 weeks." My mom has tears streaming down her face then she turns to look at Leila who shakes her head but then laughs.

"Yep, I'm the furthest along at 14 weeks. This time next year you will have 4 new grandbabies." She squeals and hugs my mom.

"We are gonna have to buy another house just to house all the babies." My mom laughs and hugs my dad

My life used to be nothing but work, now my life revolves around my wife, my baby girl and our soon to be baby.

The End!
