A Different Way To Finding Each Other

Babies First Christmas

Lena got up from bed as she needed to get the triplets ready for their daddy since they are spending Christmas all day with him and she went to wake them up and get them in their shared bath. She knew that in a few short years, her three baby bugs would not be able to have a shared bath since they will get older and their bodies will change.

She walked into her baby bubba and baby boy's shared room and gently woke them up as they slowly opened their eyes up at her. "Mama?" they both asked.

"You two need to get up and go into your shared bathroom," she replied.

"Why?" they both asked.

"A shared bath with Callie and daddy will be here in an hour," Lena replied as they remembered.

"Our first Christmas with daddy?" they asked as she nodded in a sad way.

"YAY!" they both replied as they got out of their beds and went to their bathroom they shared with all their brothers, minus Callie since she had her own bathroom in her room.

Lena sighed to herself as she walked into her baby girls' bedroom and cringed. Callie was known to have a slight meltdown if she was woken up early or even early on a break from school. She was like her and Lena just wanted to sleep in when she's on a day off.

She counted to ten and nudged Callie awake. "Ten more minutes mama!"

"Baby girl. You need to get up and I need to get you in a bath with Caleb and Callum. Daddy's coming soon since it's Christmas."

"And we are spending it with daddy?" she asked.

"Yes you are," Lena replied as the girl got up and raised her arms up as her mama picked her up and placed her on her hip as they went to the boys' bathroom as Callie looked disgusted. Boys were boys and never cleaned their bathroom up well and Jack even tried to say Callie had to clean up their bathroom and their moms told him otherwise.

The kids had their shared bath and Lena would miss them. It would be their first Christmas apart and she didn't want to cry as she finished up their baths.

"Listen you three understand it is just you three celebrating Christmas with daddy right?" Lena asked.

"Wait? You aren't coming mama? Neither of you?" Callie asked.

"No. It is just the three of you with daddy," Lena replied. "He will have his own traditions."

"Oh," the three replied. Callie bit her lip, but nodded as Lena wiped her tears.

"It will be fun."

They were dried and dressed and Robert was soon to arrive. "Merry Christmas mama!" the three replied.

"Merry Christmas my three baby bugs," Lena said as she hugged them hard as they kissed them all over as they returned the gestures of love back to their mama.

AJ and Jack knew Robert was coming for the triplets, but he only brought his small car and they both thought they would be going with their Uncle Robert too. Neither considered that he was only going to take them.

AJ and Jack got dressed as Robert pulled in and brought two wrapped presents each for all the kids as well as Stef and Lena, Thomas and Nate, Lena's parents and Stef's parents, Mike and the Riviera Rossi family. 

"Merry Christmas Lena," Robert replied.

"Merry Christmas, Robert," Lena said as they shared a hug as Stef came down for coffee as she and Robert each said Merry Christmas to each other.

"Here they are," Robert replied as he eyed the triplets. "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas daddy!"

"Merry Christmas mommy!"
