A little Piece of Heaven

Chapter 16- Thanksgiving Dinner

  I am sitting on the couch in my living room watching the macys day parade something that I have done ever since I was a kid. My husband and children are still sleeping and the turkey is in the oven. This year the dinner is at my house and were eatting around 6pm.

  I sip my eggnog. Yes i am drinking eggnog. I love this stuff, it is so fatty but so good, and it's the only time that I can drink it in this house without Johnny or Zacky spiking it. Let me tell you. It taste nnnnnnaaasty!

 "Mommmy. I can't sleep no more." Mason says coming in the living room rubbing his eyes.

"Oh you can't? Well come watch the prade with mommy."

I pat the side of the couch and he runs and jumps on it sticking his thumb in his mouth. I am so badly trying to break him of this habbit. I hear louder foot steps coming down the stairs and I look up and see my handsome husband with his bedhead.

"Good morning beautiful."

"Good Morning sleepy head. Do you want to Join Mason and I and watch the parade?" I give him my biggest smile that he never says no too.

"Oh, alright. Move over." I slide over and he sits beside be and I lean against him as Mason lays his head on my belly. I giggle when the baby kicks and he just stares at my belly.

 After about ten minutes I have all of my children in the living room with us and were all watching the parade including my eighteen year old. Once the parade is over I send all the kids to get dressed and Matt and the kids go outside to play.

"Mom can I help you with something?" I smile at Tori.

"I got everything for now love, how are things with you and Caleb?"

"Were good mom. He isn't going to make it today his sister is having her first baby and asked him to be there. It's kind of a bummer I wanted to have our first offical Thanksgiving together." She pouts.

"Oh sweetie. I understand, but the Thanksgiving that is really special is the first one as husband and wife, and everything after that is special..having your first baby together..Your step father was so happy the day Mason was born. I couldn't have been happier."

"Mom..don't get all mushy on me."

"I'm sorry. The hormones."

She rolls her eyes and goes to the living room.

Indigo and Jimmy had their second baby on the 3rd of November. her name is Skylar Rayne Sullivan. She is the cutest little thing I have seen since Blake was born. They make beautiful children.

Crystal just found out that she is pregnant. It is going to be a Christmas Suprise for Syns family and hers aswell.

I shove the stuffing inside the turkey and place it in the oven and turn it on high to finish cooking. everyone is going to be her soon. When I think about things, I never thought that I would be here in this house today with this man and our beautiful children. 

I miss my dad everyday, if it wasn't for him, I don't think I'd be here today. I always thought that it would just be Victoria and I. Us against the world. I mean sure, i'd probably be with someone, but i wouldn't be married of have other kids.

Would I change anything?

Defently not.

I love things just the way they are.

  Dinner is finished and every one is here. I smile staring at my family sitting around the table. Everyone is eatting and laughing and just catching up with each other.

"okay ladies and gents...I have an idea..for the older ones tori included go around the table and say what your thankful for because this is probably the last time we can all fit in here like this." They all laugh.

"So I will start. I am thankful for all of you. With out all of you I don't think that anything would be as interesting as it is now. I am thankful for my children and the joy they all bring me and how much love that matt and they all give me." I smile. 

Everyone takes turns, tori is last and it is what she says that brings me to tears.

"I am thankful for my mom. If it wasn't for you mom, I wouldn't be half the woman I am today. You took a bad situation and made it the best one possible. You tought me how to stand up for myself and to be independent and just be myself. You raised me the best way you could. You never gave up on me even when I was been a horrable kid. I said things that I never ment but you always stuck by me. You gave me the best life a girl could ask for, and a pretty awesome dad and step dad. It doesn't matter who my real dad is because Syn is my real dad to me, the best one in the world. I am always gonna be a Sanders-Haner...and whatever my married last name will be."

Yep the tears are flowing.

"Oh Victoria." I get up and go to her crying I hug her.

"You are the greatest little girl I could ever ask for. I can't believe how much you have grown. I love you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   That night I went to bed happy. I hope my other children see that everything I do, I do it for them. I am out to make everything possible for them. 

I kiss matt goodnight and he holds me close to him.

A/N: I think this story has about six more chapters left until it is finished. I will make a sequal if I decied to, I might just do it in Victorias point of view. Rate &comment.
