It was Christmas Eve and the Jeon family were gathered in the living room after dinner, Jimin and Jungkook were playing Christmas themed games and singing along to Christmas music with their two lovely children who were too excited and high off sugar cookies to even sit still for anything.

The two small children were both too anxious with thoughts about what Santa Claus would be bringing them this year.

He's making a list
He's checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

Jimin's sweet singing was filling up the large house, he was dancing and spinning his 7 year old daughter around the brightly lit, beautifully decorated Christmas tree.

Minju is her name and Jimin was smiling at her, she was giggling and struggling to keep her balance because of her crescent eye smile that blinded her surroundings and Jimin could relate considering he passed that down to her.

Jungkook was sitting on the floor, he was playing pictionary with his 5 year old son Junseo, humming to the music that played on the Jimin's phone, tapping on his chin to the rhythm as he pretended to think.

The boy was clutching his hands, jumping in his spot like a little bunny and Jungkook was trying his best to not blurt out the answer that he knew from the start because he wanted for his son to win this round.

"Daddy do you really think that Santa Claus will be coming to our house tonight? I've been really good but maybe I could've been nicer, like to Junseo. Sometimes I don't play with him when he asks me too and I'm scared that Santa put me on the naughty list because of that." Minju exclaimed hiding her teary eyes under her long raven bangs.

Jimin paused and glanced at his beautiful daughter, he knelt down and cupped her cheeks, wiping away the tears that were tumbling down her cheeks.

"Of course he's coming to our house my love because you have been the best big sister this year. You have been kind towards your brother, very protective of him and Santa Claus knows, you have the biggest and most beautiful heart and Santa will give you a really great present, I know it, believe me."

Minju was nodding her head and throwing her arms around Jimin, sniffling into his chest and feeling a familiar hand rubbing on her small back. "But he won't be able to deliver your gifts if you two are awake you know." Jungkook said to his daughter who parted from her other father to show off her small pout because she understand what that meant, it was bedtime now.

"Just like the song says, he knows when you are sleeping and he knows when you're awake." Jungkook was singing as he watched his daughter flash her familiar crescent eye smile at him before he lifted her up into the air, twirling her around. Junseo rushed over to his taller father, wanting some attention also, "I wanna fly too daddy!" He pleaded adorably and Jungkook was strong enough to carry the both of them.

Jimin was smiling fondly at his lovely family, they were laughing and squealing at the dizziness they were experiencing as they spun around the house, nearly knocking over the Christmas tree.

Being married to each other for the past 10 years has been amazing, they were both completely happy together, and even more now that they had two wonderful children together. The Jeon family knew that life couldn't be any better than this.

Seeing his daughters, Minju and his son Junseo thriving each and everyday, healthy and smiling was the best Christmas present any parent could wish for and that's all Jimin needed during this holiday.

"Alright, its time for bed my sweet little bunnies. Let's get those little teeth brushed and I'll read you two a bedtime story when you're changed into your pajamas." Jimin said stroking the faces of the two children when Jungkook set them on the floor again.

The their little feet started to move fast, the sound of their laughter as they raced each other towards the upstairs bathroom started to fade from the two husbands hearing.

Jungkook placed his full attention on Jimin, he smoothly wrapped his arms around his lovers waist and pressed their bodies closer to each others. Jimin melted when Jungkook kissed his lips, it was a sweet and short one, and it left him wanting so much more action.

"I'll go get changed while you read to them okay baby." Jungkook whispered along Jimin's mouth, his warm breathe was intoxicating even after many years by his side. The smaller male nodded his head knowing exactly what his husbands words meant and soon Jimin was making his way upstairs.

Jimin was in his room changing into something more comfortable and throwing on his warm fuzzy robe that Jungkook bought him last year before stepping out into the hallway.

The two children slept in the same room, it was large enough that it was divided in half, one side Minju dominated with her interest while the other side was ruled by Junseo however he pleased.

"Daddy, we're ready for our story! Can you please read the one about Rudolph? It's my favorite one, please, please, please." Junseo begged with a pout and when his father agreed he was smiling wide, a grin that resembled Jungkook's.

Jimin moved over to the collection of books and plucked out the desired one, he pulled out a chair from the desk and set in the middle of the two beds. Minju and Junseo were laying down in their beds, clutching their blankets as their father's smooth voice began to read, he was making his voice different for every character and they were loving every minute of it.

The two children weren't even thinking about Santa Claus, or their presents anymore they were fully entertained by Jimin's reading.

"I think it's a handsome nose, much better than the false ones." Jimin read and just before he could turn the page the sound of rustling coming from downstairs caught all their attention. "Did you hear that?" Junseo asked Minju who was nodding her head vigorously and looking over at the open door with wide eyes.

"It's probably just a squirrel in the chimney." Jimin said but the children's minds were going wild with other thoughts.

"What if it's Santa? What if it's him delivering our presents? Daddy can we go see him, please, pretty please!" Junseo pleaded but Jimin lifted his hand and placed his index finger to his mouth to silence them before he stood up quietly.

The two children watched their father walk over to the open door, they saw his lips curve up into a smile and when he lifted his hand to signal them to follow him they were quickly tiptoeing over.

Minju and Junseo eye's went wide when they reached the top of the stairs because by the shining Christmas tree was a tall figure dressed in a familiar red and white suit. He had a large bag on the ground as he was taking out a few sparkly wrapped boxes, and placing them under the tree.

The two children recognized that it was Santa Claus, they were overjoyed and unable to even believe that they were actually seeing him in the flesh.
