"Babe, this place is amazing." I gasped, looking around the cabin. There were Christmas lights everywhere. I looked over to find Luna standing by the Christmas tree.

"Momma, like our tree."

"I do. You and daddy picked it out?"

"Can we make cookies now?" She looked between Tyler and me.

"In a minute, let mom look around." She nodded as I walked into our new room. Just like the living room, it is filled with Christmas decorations.

"How do you like it?" Tyler walked in, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I love it. It's perfect."

"Come on. We better get back to our girl." I nodded, leaning in for a kiss. I took his hand, following him back into the main area. Luna was on the floor, playing with Jake.

"All right, baby girl, let's make some cookies. Plus, we have to start thinking about dinner, huh." She ran over as we walked over to the kitchen.

"What are you thinking?"

"Grilled cheese."

"Sounds perfect." I smiled, pulling out the bread. Luna helped me get everything ready for dinner.

"Daddy hungry?" Luna ran into the main area where Tyler and Jake were curled up on the recliner.

"Thank you, princess."

"You ready to go curl with dad and watch a Christmas movie." She nodded as we finished making the cookies. I grabbed a couple, bringing them over to Tyler before climbing onto the recliner.

"Come here, honey."

"I have to go to the bathroom."

"How's the leg?"

"A little sore but not too bad." He smiled, leaning in for a kiss. Luna came running back, curling up in the middle of us. I sighed, resting my head against Tyler's shoulder.

As the credits streamed on TV, I turned to find both Tyler and Luna are asleep. A year ago, I couldn't even imagine this is how we would be spending Christmas together. Having Tyler back, I realized just how unhappy I was. Now that we have worked through our problems, I see how amazing he is. I sighed, kissing his cheek, trying not to wake him.

"Hmm." He breathed, turning to look at me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you."

"We should probably get her into bed." I nodded but not ready to move just yet.

"Mags." He whispered, making me look into his eyes.

"Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas." I smiled, leaning in for a kiss. I pulled away, carefully taking Luna from his arms. Jake got down, following us to Luna's room. I carefully laid her down, where she made herself comfortable. I kissed her forehead, pushing her hair away.

"Merry Christmas, sweet girl." I pulled away, walking back into the living room.

"Hmm, Santa is looking sexier this year," I smirked, making him turn around.

"Crutches and all." He smiled as I walked over, helping him. Once we got them all laid out, we climbed into bed. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me into his side.

"Mommy, daddy, look at all the presents." I opened my eyes only to find Luna's face right in front of mine.

"Morning, princess."

"Momma presents."

"I see. Give daddy and me a minute." I rolled over to find Tyler sitting up.

"Do you want coffee?" I asked, sitting up. He nodded as I went over to the kitchen, started the coffee.

"Find a present for us, and then you can open one." Luna got a present out for each of us as I walked back over, curling into Tyler's side.

"Daddy, why are you crying?" She frowned, wrapping her little arms around him.

"I'm just so happy, honey. I get to spend Christmas with my three favorite people." I smiled, kissing his cheek.

"Merry Christmas." Abby smiled as I walked into the kitchen of the bar.

"Merry Christmas smells good in here."

"Wanted to get a jump on things. How was this morning?"

"Good, it felt so surreal. I dreamed of it but never thought it was going to come true. I can't wait for your little one to be here."

"Me too. I can't wait for next Christmas. Max and I are thinking about getting a house together." She whispered, making me gasp.

"That's great! Awe, Abby, I'm so happy for you two."

"Thank you. He makes me so happy, and this baby is everything." Tears filled her eyes as I walked over, wrapping my arms around her.

"What is going on in here?" Fallen asked, walking over to us.

"Max and Abby are officially moving in together."

"Awe, it's about time."

After pulling ourselves together, we walked back out front, where the guys and Luna were setting everything up. I walked over to Max, hugging him before going over to Garret. Tyler pulled me into his arms, where I wrapped my arms around him, resting my head against his chest.

"So, are you guys going to tell us the gender yet?" Garret asked, bringing my attention back to Abby. She shared a look with Max as he reached for something behind the bar.

"Luna, come here. We want you to open this." Luna quickly ran over, opening the present. It was a piece of wood with a name on it that I couldn't read.

"Willow Kate, it's a girl!" Tears filled my eyes as I walked over, giving her another hug.

"What about you Fallen, any news?"

"We're pregnant!" I gasped, hugging her. My two best friends are having babies, and I couldn't be happier. Tyler came over, hugging his sister.

"Congratulations!"

"Now it's onto round two for you two." She smirked as I looked up at Tyler. We've talked about having another baby but decided to wait a little bit longer. Knowing they are both pregnant makes me want to rethink this whole waiting thing.

"What are you thinking?" Tyler whispered, making me look up at him.

"I'm happy. I'm not going to lie; it's giving me baby fever, though."

"Me too. We can talk about it later." I nodded, wrapping my arms around him.

"Luna, it looks like you will have two new cousins to play with." Fallen smiled, wrapping her arms around her.
