"I love you Mr. Shepard."

Twenty-nine

"It's Christmas!" Abby shrieked as she made her way down the hallway and down the stairs.

Jessica was sitting on the couch, breastfeeding Waylon and reading her book as her daughter almost tumbled down the stairs. Abby ran to the tree and grabbed a box.

"Ah no ma'am wait for your daddy."

"Where is daddy?" She asked with a disappointed look.

"Went to pick up Grandma Zoe and Grandma Dorothy."

"When will Eva be here?" Abby asked.

Jessica licked her thumb and flipped the page to her book.

"Soon."

"Oh I can't wait!"

"Me either. Suze and I need to talk."

Danny walked through the door and Abby ran to her grandparents.

"Nana! Mawmaw!"

She hugged them both, giggling.

"Mommy, now can I open presents?"

"Yep, have at it."

Abby ran to the tree, ripping open the biggest box first. Sam filmed her opening the presents and then walked over to Jess, putting the camera on Waylon, who had been burped and fallen asleep a short while before, sleeping in Jessica's arms.

"Merry Christmas Waye! You're five days old today!" He said smiling and kissing Jess.

"He's a chunker too."

"Alright, now that I'm warm let me see my grand baby." Zoe said as Jessica passed him to her.

"I have to get up to cook." Jessica said as she looked at her baby sleeping peacefully in his grandmothers arms.
