Santa Claus (13)
After Skye and Grant got settled with Lexi, Skye and Grant complete passed out in one of the bedrooms. Lexi was playing a game with Thomas, Rose, and Christian as their mother and father were cooking dinner.
"Santa Claus is coming tonight!" Lexi said excitedly. This was the first time the four year old was really celebrating Christmas with people other than her mom, her aunt Jemma, and her uncle Leo.
"Yes he is. What do you want him to bring you?" Christian asked her with a smile. Christian and his wife were trying for a baby so he figured spending some time with Lexi would kinda help him out.
"I really want a unicorn but mommy said that it'll happen the next time the moon turns purple." Lexi said as Thomas started laughing causing Lexi to hit him in the crotch.
"Not nice..." Thomas said to his sister with a groan.
"Mommy does that to daddy and mommy said he complains for hours afterwards..." Lexi said laying down in Christians lap. She had being going to Christian most out of any of the siblings.
Christian smiled at the little girl and stroked her hair as she fell asleep.
"So Grant finally found a girl... I didn't think it was gonna ever happen..." Thomas said with a small smile.
"I just never expected him to meet one and fall for one that already has a kid. I meant dating a single parents gotta be a bit hard." Rose said looking at Thomas.
"Well we all have a niece which is a plus." Christian said as Thomas nodded.
"Especially when we have a cute niece..." Thomas said to him.
"It's just a bit strange to me that she's not Grant's child and he's okay with it." Rose said as Thomas sighed.
"It wasn't like skye was trying to have the baby or anything. She was 19 at the time and with a psychotic boyfriend. I really don't think she had the money to have an abortion honestly.." Christian said looking at his siblings.
"That's very true but I don't really think any of this is our business." Rose said to her two brothers.
"You're probably right..." Thomas said to his sister.
Christian got up and laid Lexi down on the couch with a blanket on top of her.
After a few hours Grant and Skye woke up and we're cuddling in bed together.
"I don't wanna get up. I just wanna stay in bed." Skye said yawning and laying her head down on Grant's chest gently.
"Me too baby girl but we should go down and get something to eat. You have to be hungry by now.." Grant said looking down at Skye who was trying to fall back asleep.
"I'll eat later. Just let me sleep now..." Skye said with another yawn and fell asleep on Grant's chest within a few minutes.
Grants eyes were way too heavy so he fell asleep also.
Annie was in the kitchen with Lexi as they were making a gingerbread house with her husband, Charlie.
Lexi was decorating a side of the house. It was pretty good for a four year old. "How does this look?" She asked looking at Charlie.
"It looks absolutely stunning.." He said looking at the four year old. She reminded him so much of Rose when she was little.
"Do you think mommy and daddy will like it?" She asked.
"I'm sure that they're going to love it." He said and kissed the top of the little girl's head.
"Does Santa come here?" Lexi asked as Annie looked at her.
"Of course he comes here but he won't come until your asleep." Annie said picking her up when she finished her ginger bread house. She helped Lexi washed her hands as Lexi ranted about Santa.
When Annie put Lexi down, she ran into Skye and Grants room and started jumping on the bed to wake them up. Skye saw she had frosting all over her.
"Grant can you please give her a bath?" Skye asked as Lexi shook her head.
"Mommy give me a bath.." She said stubbornly as Skye raised an eyebrow.
"Mommy can't give you a bath baby girl. I can't get my cast wet.." Skye said as Lexi looked at her.
"Alright..." She said as Grant picked her up and took her into the bathroom to bathe her.
Skye managed to get dressed in one of Christmas pajamas and on to her crutches. She was trying to figure out how to get down the stairs without Grant.
"Do you need help?" She heard Rose say from behind her.
Skye just nodded as Rose helped her down the steps. "I remember when Grant broke his leg. He wouldn't let anyone help him because he's just a stubborn little shit like that." Rose said as Skye started uncontrollably laughing.
"He still is extremely stubborn but grade a wording.." Skye said still laughing to the point she was crying.
Rose and Skye were sitting on the couch talking and stuff. After about an hour, Grant came down the stairs with Lexi. They were in matching pajamas with Skye's and it was the absolute cutest thing.
Lexi climbed into Skye's lap and held onto Skye tightly. Skye wrapped her good arm around Lexi holding her close.
Rose got up and left the small family alone. "I think that it's time for dinner so we can get this one to bed soon." Skye said softly to Grant who helped Skye up and took Lexi from her.
He helped Lexi make a plate of food and got her into her chair. Charlie was helping Skye. Skye and Charlie really hit it off which was surprising due to him different they were more than similar.
At dinner everyone sat at the table. Annie and Charlie were telling Skye and Lexi stories from when Grant was a child and teenager. Most of them made Grant go red in the face but the ones that didn't had everyone hysterical.
When dinner was over, they ate dessert and Lexi set up cookies and milk for Santa. Skye got her to go to sleep.
Grant was dressed up in a Santa Claus outfit.
"What the hell are you doing?" Skye asked looking at Grant.
"Bringing in the presents. Why don't you sit down on my lap and tell me what you want for Christmas.." Grant said smirking suggestively.
"Grant you're Jewish.." Skye said looking at him. "If this is an attempt to have sex with me you can just tell me you wanna have sex with me. Now go bring in the presents you love able idiot." She said with a smile.
"I am half Jewish by the way because my mom is Christian... Well not actually Christian but you know what I mean.." Grant said softly.
Grant brought in the presents with the help of Thomas as Skye ate the cookies and drank the milk.
"You really couldn't have let me have some of it?" Grant asked her as Skye looked at him.
"I'll go get you some cookies and milk if you really want them babe." Skye said to him.
"I don't really want them I just wanna go to sleep honestly." Grant said as Skye yawned.
"Ditto." She said as he picked her up.
Then didn't end up going to sleep right away. Things got intimate and Santa did come.
After that, Skye and Grant fell asleep on top of each other that night. They stayed asleep until 10 am until Lexi was jumping on their bed yelling stuff like Santa came and it's Christmas.
Skye just pulled the pillow over her head groaning as Grant chuckled and pulled Lexi into bed ticking her.
"Daddy stop!" Lexi said laughing hysterically.
"What? I can't understand you.." Grant said chuckling as he kept tickling Lexi. He kept it up for a little while longer before stopping. That's when Lexi climbed on top of him and hugged him.
"It's Christmas, Daddy. Santa came!" Lexi said smiling at Grant. Skye smiled and nodded.
"Yes she did baby girl. Why don't you go wake up Uncle Tommy." Skye said as the little girls face light up as she ran into her uncles room.
"Good morning baby girl. Merry Christmas.." Grant said kissing lips.
"Merry Christmas to you too." Skye said kissing him back gently.
They eventually went downstairs and watched as Lexi opened her gifts. Grant was recording Lexi because this was her first real Christmas. Lexi was so happy to get the little stocking fillers and such. She looked so happy as she opened her gifts.
Annie handed out gifts and handed Skye a small box. "It says it's from Grant." Annie said smiling.
Skye opened it and gasped. It was a ring box. Skye opened the box and it was a ring. Correction. It was a very nice ring.
"Huh?" Skye asked looking at Grant.
"This is going to be a promise ring. It's for when we're ready to settle down, get married, and start a family we'll do that okay?" Grant asked as Skye teared up slightly and nodded.
Grant pulled Skye info his arms and she wrapped her arm around him and cuddled into him gently as he slid the ring on to her finger.
"This is breath taking." Skye said looking at him. "Thank you..."
"You're welcome baby girl. Do you like it because if you don't I can get you one you like more.." Grant said to her.
"No no this is perfect. I love it." She said looking at him.
"Really?" Grant asked as Skye smiled and nodded.
"Really."
