Exhale: Book 2

First Family Christmas

Gabriel

"Okay Danny, place the star right on top." I pick up Daniel. He places to star up on top, and the girl's and Sabrina clap. I set Daniel back down on the floor. We were decorating last minute for Christmas, which is two days away. We were going to decorate tomorrow on Christmas Eve, but Daniel has a boxing match tomorrow evening, and the girls have a Christmas recital tomorrow night.

It's been a few months since what happened with Emma. Last month they sentenced Emma over 75 years in prison for kidnapping Bella and me, for murdering her sister, Jamie, and attempted murder from when she tried to kill Sabrina twice and the girls. I also found out that she was the one giving Dre information on Keisha and Sabrina, that's how he found out where I lived at the time, when he brought one of his men to my house.

Other than that, everything has been fine. Sabrina is now six months with our son Kyro Samuel Renzo. Bella, who turned seven in September, is making all A's in her classes and is improving in her piano lessons. Her piano teacher says that she's a fast learner and that she can play an entire song on the piano by herself. Daniel is enjoying kindergarten; he even has a little girlfriend. Sabrina doesn't like that he has a girlfriend, but I couldn't be prouder of my son. Our energetic Mahogany, who just turned six two weeks ago, is doing well making A's and B's. She advanced to another ballet class, she also taking Jazz now. Char and Kota are having a good junior year. They're taking their classes online next semester since they don't have that many classes.

After we finish decorating, Sabrina and I help the kids with their baths, help them with their Pjs and put them to bed. I walk downstairs in the living to see Sabrina wrapping the gifts. I kiss her cheek and sit next to her. "How are my babies doing?"

"Little Kyro is fine and I guess fat because he's so heavy." She groans, "Bella and Mahogany have never been this heavy when I was pregnant with them."

I kiss her neck, "Love, how about I give you a massage and nice hot bubble bath?"

"Gabe," She push me away, "I'm pregnant and my horny rate from 1 to 10 is 210. If you even touch my body, yours and my clothes are flying off."

I pick her up, "I'll take that chance Love." I kiss her lips and carry her upstairs to the bedroom.

Sabrina

Gabe, the girls, and I sit down on the bleachers in front of the ring Daniel is going to fight in. I've been trying to sit as much as I can now that I'm pregnant. Kyro is so damn heavy, the doctors say that that's natural for a boy to feel heavy, but damn I feel like I'm carrying a semitruck. I forgot how much I hated this pregnancy stage. I love my babies, but carrying them for nine months is one of my dislikes. I even must be on maternity leave, which I hate also. Alexis and Adam are running the place while I'm out.

Kenya walks toward us and gives me a hug, "How are you doing?"

"I'm tired of carrying this child inside me," I deeply sigh.

She kisses my cheek, "You have three more months. You are almost there." She smiles and sits in front me

Daniel's fights start. Daniel punches his opponent's gloves and start to fight. They went through all three rounds. Daniel won by a knockout, making him advance into the next class. He also advanced in his marital arts class today as well. After Daniel got dressed, I ran up to him and gave him a big hug. "My little cub, you did great. I'm so proud of you sweetie." I kiss his cheeks.

Gabe gives him a high five. "Proud of you that you won Champ. Your girlfriend would be so proud of you." Gabe smiles as I roll my eyes. I don't like how Gabe encourages my little cub to get a girlfriend and I don't like that Daniel is talking about having a girlfriend. He's too young to be thinking about girls that way. The only girl he should be thinking about is his Mommy.
