        "Momma's don't let your babies to grow up to be Cowboys, don't let them pick guitars and drive pick up trucks let them to grow up to be doctors and Lawyers and su..." I pause my show hearing the front door slam shut, I get up hearing loud banging get noises. I walk into the living room seeing Emilio sitting on the couch with his head in his hands muttering so withing to himself. I hear the bang noise again coming from Ivan and my room, I slowing walk to our room seeing Ivan punching our door with some blood on his right hand.

"Ivan, Ivan. What wrong, what happened? Where is Ruben?" I ask not entering the room, I stay in the hallway a few feet away from the door. Ivan stops hitting the door, running his hand that isn't covered in blood. "Ivan, babe. What's wrong? Please tell me, maybe we can fix it." I ask p,acing mh hands on the sides of his face, once Ivan looks a little bit calmer than he was a few seconds ago.

"We can't fix it. It's not working." He says looking down at me with tears in his eyes. I have never seen Ivan cry except for a couple of times, whatever has happened it must be bad. I ask him again what's wrkng, he takes my hand leading me to our shared bed, we sit for a couple seconds before Ivan speaks. "Our card that held our video for today is gone, Emilio tried to fix it, Ruben tried, I tried and it won't work. The Martinators are going to be so upset with us. That card just wasn't aorking, now we don't have a video, it held other past videos and now the are gone. What are we going to do." Ivan asks with his head in his hands, shaking his head.

I honestly don't know what to say, all of their videos are gone. All of their memories were on that card, I wrap my arms around Ivan telling him silently that it's alright. But deep down I know that telling him everything will be alright won't make it alright. Ivan and I sit in the bed, I can't help wonder where Ruben is answered how Emilio is feeling about this. Probably the same as Ivan or worse, Ivan rest his head on my shoulder as I clean off the small amount of blood that is on his hand. Ivan hisses, as I wrap up his hand, not wanting the cuts to get infected. "Ivan, where is Ruben?" Ivan gets up just as I finish wrapping his hand.

"I have to go find him, I'll be right back as soon as I find him." He says kissing me, grabbing his jacket as he runs out the front to door closing it behind him. I get up walking into the living room seeing Emilio picking up pieces of something off the floor.

"Hey are you okay?" I ask helping Emilio by picking  a couple pieces of what I now realize is the card that holds all of the videos. Emilio nods taking the few pieces from my hand and throwing them away.

"I'm fine, so Ivan went to go find Ruben?" He asks sitting down on the couch, I nod sitting next to him as he blinks away tears not wanting me to see. "Sorry if we scared you with all the loud noises, we were just mad." I nod telling him it's okay. "Is Ivan alright, I heard him punching get your guys room door."

"He has two cuts, one longer than the other. From the blood on the door I thought it would have been worse. I'm sorry your card stopped working, I know that me just saying that won't make things better. But..." Emilio hugs me cutting me off, I hug him back letting him letting some tears fall into my sweater.

"Thanks Ally, your the best. I'm glad that Ivan has you, I'm really happy that we're friends." He says wiping some tears away as Ivan and Ruben open the front door. "Hey Ruben, Ivan." He says running his hand through his hair a couple times, a thing Emilio does when he's stressed sometimes. "I'm going to make a video explaining to the Martinators why there isn't going to be a video up today, please don't go into my room till I come out okay." We all nod as Emilio takes the camera off kitchen counter walking to his room shutting the door behind him.

"I'm sorry Ally, I didn't mean to slam the front door as hard as I did." Ruben says sitting next to me as Ivan grabs ice from the freezer to put of him hand.

"It's alright, I'm just glad Ivan found you and your okay." I say as Ivan hands hands Ruben and I some sodas sitting next to us. I check my soda making sure that it's diet, I don't want mini Martinez to be really hyper when he arrives. I open the soda taking a long sip of my diet Pepsi, I don't care for diet Pepsi but hey its as good as it gets. We watch the movie Santa Clause is coming to town, while Emilio makes the video. We play the sound low and put subtitles in Spanish on for Ruben since he is trying to learn English. He is doing really well, he has some trouble with the pronunciation of a couple words but other than that he's doing great.

"Well, I finished the video. It's already edited and I already uploaded it. I hope the Martinators understand, I don't want to disappoint them." Emilio says leaning get against the wall next to his room with his arms crossed.

"Emilio," I say walking to him. "The Martinators will understand, they won't be disappointed. They love you guys nothing you guys do can disappoint them. I promise you that, they agreed your family. Everything will be okay." Emilio nods hugging me, whispering into my ear thanking me for making him feel better.

"Hey, let's end this night on a fun note. Let's decorate this place so it's looks like that store in Elf." Ruben says smiling at all of us. We all smile agreeing with him, Emilio and Ivan go to the extra room getting the boxes of decorations. I went to help them but Ivan said I shouldn't lift heavy things while I'm pregnant. I go back to the living room putting on  the movie Mickeh's Magical Christmas: Snowed in.   While Ruben boils water so we can have hot chocolate and I can have tea since I'm allergic to chocolate. Emilio and Ivan  ring in the 4 boxes of Christmas decorations. We still don't have a tree yet, we are going out to get one tomorrow. 

"Okay. So we separated the boxes according to the room's. Bathroom, living room, kitchen, and the balcony. I'll take the kitchen." Emilio says taking his box to the kitchen, Ruben takes a box to the balcony, and I take a box to the bathroom, it's light barley filled with anything. Ivan stays in the living room setting some candles on the tables. I put a wax warmer out placing a candle on it, I put one that smells like vanilla bean. I stick some Christmas peel off stickers on the door and mirror. I put some candy cane looking towels on the counter, a few minutes later I finish decorating the bathroom. When I turn around to leave Ivan smiles at me pointing up to mistletoe. I smile kissing Ivan, we both smile into the kiss. I can't believe that I got so lucky, Ivan makes me so happy.

"I think Ruben and Emilio are done decorating, let's go watch a movie and cuddle up togeher. I love you so much, and you to Emivan, you and your mommy mean and are the world to me." Ivan says on one knee kissing my huge sweater cover stomach. I can't help but smile, Ivan talks every morning and every night to Emivan telling him that he loves us and can't wait to meet him. It makes my heart flutter every time. I walk with Ivan to the living room, seeing Emilio pouring the hot water into some Christmas mugs and Ruben putting the movie A Charlie Brown Christmas. Ivan goes to the kitchen grabbing some Christmas cookies that we picked up the other day. I sit on the couch looking at all of the Christmas decorations that are up, I have to say it really does look like the North Pole in here. Ruben sits next to me once he puts the movie in, Ivan sits next time me placing the cookies on a Santa plate that's in the shape of a star. Emilio hands us our mugs sitting next to Ivan as Ruben plays the movie. I grab the huge fuzzy dark blue blanket and cover all of us up as the movie starts.
