"We have to get Vilu this!"

We probably should have done our Christmas shopping earlier. It's Christmas Eve now and we have only got 5 presents!

"She doesn't need any more teddies!"

"But for the baby!"

"Angie, we need to get the kids something!"

"Fine!"

Vilu came slowly around the corner.

"Oh Angie, those teddies are nice, I bet little Ariana here would love them!"

I looked at German with my I told you so face. He just looked back innocently and laughed.

"And what's so funny?"

"The fact that you get so smug when you are right!"

"I don't!" I said folding my arms.

"Really, you don't?"

"Really."

When we got back we hid all the presents we had bought so we could wrap them tonight then went into the living room. Vilu and Leon were sat on the sofa with the triplets reading (well singing) them 'Twas The Night Before Christmas.

"Come on guys, pyjamas, then we can put up your stockings." Vilu said as she closed the book.

"You know, you are going to be really great parents." I said smiling at them.

Vilu looked down at her stomach.

"I just can't wait for her to arrive!"

"Well, I think you'll be just fine." Said German.

"Thanks Dad!" 

"We're back!" The triplets shouted as they ran down the stairs.

"Well, before we hang up your stockings, shall we sing a Christmas song?" I asked.

"Yay, song!" They shouted as they ran over to the piano.

German sat down, I stood behind him with my hands on his shoulders, Vilu and Leon were stood side by side and the triplets were stood together.

German began to play the beginning of a song I knew very well. Everyone looked at me so I started to sing.

I don't want a lot for Christmas,

Then the triplets sang

There is just one thing I need,

Vilu and Leon then sang

I don't care about the presents, underneath the Christmas tree.

Then German looked me in the eyes as he sang

I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know,

Everyone then sang together

Make my wish come true,

I looked down into German's dark brown  eyes and sang the next line.

All I want for Christmas, is you.
