Milo's Sister

Chapter 10

December 25, 2019

Milo carried the Christmas Tree in and we decorated it. It was a lot of fun. We had just finished putting on ornaments.

"That's all the ornaments," Kayla sighed, looking into the box.
"What about the angel?" I asked.
She looked up, "Yay! Can I put it on?"

We nodded, and she picked up the angel. Milo picked her up, so she could place it on top.

"There we go!" He announced, putting her down.

I went over to stand by him. He wrapped an arm around me waist, and placed a hand on Kayla's shoulder. I lay my head on his shoulder.

"We did good," Camryn smiled.
"We did, we really did."

Kayla and I were watching 13 Reasons Why, Milo was taking a shower, Camryn was making supper.

"I wish Clay had just told Hannah how he felt!" Kayla grumbled, as she watched one of Clay's memories.

I smiled at the ten year old that was laying on my shoulder.

"It would have saved everyone a lot of trouble," She continued to watch the movie.

I could hear footsteps coming down the stairs, and saw Milo round the corner. He was shirtless, with just gym shorts on, and his hair was damp.

"Hey, Mi," I smiled.
"Hey, Megamillion," He walked over and kissed the top of my head, before sitting at the opposite end of the couch, since Kayla was taking up most of it and she moved her feet to be on Milo's lap.

At some point we all ended up going to bed.

I woke up Christmas Morning, to Kayla running into our room and jumping on our bed. Milo and I were spooning.

"Wake up! Santa came!" She yelled, excitedly.

I laughed, when Milo groaned and turned over.

"Merry Christmas, Kayla," I smiled, "We'll be downstairs, in a few. I'll get Milo up."
"Okay! Mom's up!" She exclaimed, leaving the door opened and running downstairs.

I smiled, and turned over to snuggle into Milo's chest. He wrapped his arms tighter around me.

"Milo," I whispered.
"Hmm?" He still had his eyes closed.
"Merry Christmas," I smiled.
"Merry Christmas, Baby," He placed an open mouthed kiss on my lips.
"Kayla wants us to go downstairs," I sighed.
"Okay," He said, stretching.

We both managed to roll out of bed and went downstairs. Kayla was getting ready to unwrap her gifts.

"Okay, they're down here. Go ahead," Camryn told Kayla, pointing her live video toward Kayla.

Milo sat on the couch, I sat on his lap and leaned back against him.

Kayla began to unwrap her gifts. She got a variety of things. Finally she got to her gift from Milo and I. It was a journal. She opened it and tears began to noticeably form in her eyes. She got up and came over to give us both a big hug.

"Thank you. I love you guys," She embraced us tighter.

We smiled at her.

"Okay," Camryn, still on live, said, "Meg's turn!"

I smiled and Kayla brought the gifts over to me. The first one I opened was from Milo. I neatly opened it. I read it and began to laugh.

Milo seemed to think he was funny, because he started laughing. I held it up to look at it.

"What does it say?" Kayla asked.
"Sorry, this girl is already taken, by a smoking hot boyfriend," I started laughing.

Camryn and Kayla soon joined in our laughing.

"Open the next one," Camryn prodded.

I opened another one from Milo.

"Awee!" Camryn and Kayla cooed.

Camryn had the live pointed toward us and I wished she didnt. Tears began to leak from my eyes. I turned around, threw my arms around his neck, burying my face in his chest. He squeezed me.

"Thank you," I leaned up to kiss him, "I love you."
"I love you, too," He pecked my lips.

I released him and turned back around, this time sitting on the floor at Milo's feet to finish opening my presents.

"Dammit, Mi! Now you have me crying," I joked, and he smiled, leaning down to kiss my head.

I opened my gift from Camryn next.

"Awe! Camryn!" I got up to hug her, "Thank you!"
"Oh, it's no problem, Sweetheart," She smiled.
"What does it say?" Milo asked, grabbing my wrist when i walked by him.
"Dear daughter in law I didn't give you the gift of life, I gave you the gift of my amazing son. Thank you for not selling him to the circus. I know how tempting that can be," I read to him.

He laughed, let go of my wrist, and I sat back down. I had a gift from Kayla left. I opened it and saw a baby blue shirt.

"Thank you Kayla!" I laughed, hugging her.

I showed Milo the shirt and he rolled his eyes playfully.

"Your turn! Your turn!" I said, excitedly gathering my gifts and sitting them on the end table.
"Sweetheart, while you're up, can you please prop my phone up on the tv stand?" Camryn asked.
I took her phone and smiled, "Hi, guys!" I set it up.

I made sure you could see all of us, before I went back to sit with Milo, while Kayla gave him all his presents. The first gift he opened was one from me.

"My girl is a huge pain in the ass but she is my pain in the ass and I love her," Milo laughed, "The shirt doesn't lie. Thank you." He leaned over to kiss me.
"Hurry! Open the next one!" Kayla rushed him.
"Okay, okay, chill," He laughed.

He opened his next present from me.

"Thank you, Megamillion," He kissed my forehead.

I smiled at him as he opened his next present from Kayla.

Milo laughed, and showed me what the shirt said. (Yes this family is big on graphic t-shirts). I grinned.

"Open this one!" Camryn said, handing Milo a bag.

He began to look and see what was in it. He held up a box that I instantly recognized and my face burnt bright red.

"Condoms? Really mom?" Milo laughed.
"You never know!" She winked.

We all started to laugh. Camryn opened gifts next and when we had everything cleaned up, we sat back down.

"I still have another present for you, later," Milo winked at me.
"I can't wait to see what it is," I smirked, raising my eyebrows and kissing him.
"Please stop. The way you guys talk makes me sick," Kayla pleaded jokingly.

Camryn, Milo, and I laughed.
