I wake up to the sound of my children crying. I wake up Jimmy so we can go get them. We bring them into the living room, them rubbing their little eyes. Suddenly Addy squeals. She's the first to notice all of the new toys resting under the tree. Jimmy and I avoided wrapping the gifts because they wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they were forced to rip at paper until they give up.
"Mama." Riley points his little finger at the Little People house we had gotten them.
"Jim! Did you hear that?! Riley said mama!" I squeal and pull my baby boy into my arms.
"I did. Alright. Come on, Addy. Say dada." Jimmy says, tapping her on the nose. She turns away, crawling over to a pile of stuffed animals and throwing herself on them.
"I don't think she wants to..." I giggle.
"Oh... You want something to laugh about?" Jimmy jumps over and starts to tickle me. I squeal as he pins me down and kisses me. "I love you. Merry Christmas, sweetheart."
"I love you, too."
"Oh hey. I see a present with someone's name on it..." He pulls a package out from under the tree.
"Jimmy! What is it?!" I ask, tearing into the paper. "Oh my goodness. Jimmy. It's beautiful, thank you." He takes out of the box a locket with 'Family is Forever' engraved in the front and all of our names on the back.
"And I even had them leave room at the bottom in case we decide to expand our family..." Jimmy's face lightens a bit. He hangs the necklace around my neck.
"Jimmy. Yesterday when I said that. I didn't mean I didn't want anymore children. I just meant that maybe, right now, we are perfect. I defiantly want to have more someday. Just not yet... You know?"
"Yeah. I get it... I just miss having a newborn around."
"Me too..." I sigh, and look down at my hands, " Maybe... Maybe it's not to soon... I mean the twins are already seven months..." A smile spreads across Jimmy's face. "But for now let's get ready for the Christmas party that we're having HERE in an hour."
"Oh! Right! Common kiddos. Let's go get changed!" Jimmy picks them both up, one in each arm, and runs them to their room.
"Hello?" Gibbs opens the door and is followed in by Ducky. They are both carrying plates of food.
"We will be out in a minute! Just finishing getting Addy and Ri ready." I say, "Make yourself at home."
A few minutes later we walk out with Addison and Riley dressed in elf costumes. "That is too cute!" Abby exclaims walking through the door.
"Makes you want one of your own... Doesn't it, Abs?" McGee asks.
"I told you a million times, Tim. We're adopting before we have our own."
"Dear God, give us a child we can adopt." McGee cries, looking up at the ceiling.
"Here we go again... McProphet whining about Abby wanting to adopt first..." Tony says, walking up behind him.
