Christmas Eve
Tiana POV

" Baby turn on the Christmas tree lights" I called for Jay as I was walking down the hall. I sat our glasses of wine down on the coffee table and watched as he plugged in the lights.

Suddenly, our beautiful white lights flickered on and I jumped up in down happily. Jaden laughed and made his way over to me. I jumped up on him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He poked his lips out and waited for me to kiss him, I connected my lips to his as he spun us around.

" Christmas with my baby girl!" He boasted." I love you" he mumbled in the crook of my neck.

" I love you too boo" I said kissing his lips once more.

I hoped down and walked over to the tree observing all the gifts under the tree. Not just for Jay and I, but for also our family and close friends. Currently both Jay and I's family are back at our house for the holidays.

Jay and his mom are working on building a better relationship now, and not only her but he's learning to accept his moms boyfriend & soon to be husband Mr. Loyther. Pryce and Kay are here also along with Mr & Mrs Bryson. Not only them but August is here and Chad & Aaliyah are both stopping over tomorrow, and I couldn't forget about my beautiful mother.

I felt Jay come up from behind me and wrap his arms around my waist. He pecked my shoulder abs trailed kissed up to my neck. I smiled and turned around returning the favor by kissing him over and over.

" Ew can you guys not" I heard a familiar voice tease. I looked up instantly and a pillow hit my face. I looked down at the pillow and picked it up, before I noticing it was Pryce and Kehlani. At this point Kay had gotten really big and her belly is so adorable to me. She often complains about it but I always remind her of how cute she looks.

I threw the pillow back at Pryce and hid behind Jay. " I'll get you later" he said taking a seat on the couch. Kehlani was eating some cookies so I decided to reach for one. She popped my hand and hid her cookies under her arm.

" Damn I can't get one?" I asked.

" Hoe you can get your own" she barked before stuffing another cookie in her mouth.

" Don't be calling my baby a hoe" he said while wrapping his arms around my neck. " That's right" I added.

She rolled her eyes and took a seat on the couch next to Pryce. " Y'all muthafucka's ready to Christmas?" August asked entering the room.

" Yea, did you buy me anything?" I asked furrowing my brows.

" You'll find out tamarrow girl!"

I rolled my eyes and balled up on the couch. " How bout'chu, did you buy me gifts?" He asked.

" You'll have to find out tomorrow!" I said mocking him. He smacked his lips and took a seat on the same couch as Jay and I. I picked up my glass of wine and took a sip of it. My mom walked in along with Ella carrying platters of food. It was always a tradition that we eat, drink hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies. It's crazy that maybe in a year or two there'll be little kids running around here.

" Where's Mr.Loyther?" I asked as it's caught my attention.

" He's out" Ella responded. I glanced over at Jay and then down at the floor. I've never seen that man leave the house without Ella so that just doesn't seem right. But his absence was none of my business so I decided to brush it off.
