receiving his brand new office.
Samantha got Sirius and the kids to come over that morning to help her bake for Christmas dinner while Brent got the furniture installers in to set up the office.
When they got back to the house Sirius screamed in delight when Brent opened the door and ushered him into his private sanctuary.
She grinned as she and Cameron took little Sam and Matthew back home with them while giving their parents some alone time. She was amazed on how wonderful Cameron interacted with the children.
Samantha knew he was good with Emma, but what really amazed her was how Brent’s kids took to Cameron like they’ve known him all their lives.
She turned around and planted a kiss on his lips, he growled. “Merry Christmas sexy man.” He pulled her closer to nibble on her ear. “Ready to go downstairs and watch the kids open presents?”
She nodded then felt the baby kick his daddy, she giggled. “I think Junior isn’t happy that you didn’t say Merry Christmas to him.”
Cameron chuckled as he lowered himself to Samantha’s belly then whispered to their son. “Merry Christmas buddy, mommy and daddy can’t wait to meet you soon.” The baby did a somersault, she laughed. “He can’t wait either daddy. Now, let’s get downstairs, I’m starving.”
Lately Samantha’s been using the elevator instead of the stairs. Cameron was dead set against her using the stairs alone after reading statistics of women going into labor and falling while on the stairs.
She was putting on her robe when her phone rang. “Merry Christmas to you girlfriend, how’s it been so far?” Lily growled “I’m fat Sam, I can’t wear the dress we brought for today.”
Samantha sighed, she knew this was going to happen. Lily was two months ahead of Sam and her due date was four days ago.
Now her best friend was miserable and stated it was Vince’s fault since he doesn’t know what it’s like to be pregnant. “I’m sorry honey, but you knew that Charlotte would be just as stubborn as Emma. Hell you was week late with her and that was without the doctor’s inducing.”
Lily groaned “I know, but I’m tired of being pregnant. Can’t we just schedule a C-section like every normal person?”
She laughed “sorry darling Lily, you’ll just have to suck it up. Besides, aren’t you the one that should be setting an example for me? You’re making rethink this whole childbirth thing.”
Lily laughed “if they offer you an epidural, take it. I’ll see you this afternoon, love you.” “I love you too.” Samantha placed her phone in her robe and looked at Cameron, he rolled his eyes.
“I swear baby, if you don’t take the epidural, I’m going to get trashed before you go into delivery.” She looked at him as if he was insane then laughed. “Unlike my best friend, I’m not crazy to decline it. She did and she almost broke Vince’s hand.”
He looked at her in shock while Samantha nodded. “Ask him. Every time he tells the story of Emma’s birth it’s like an epic battle between good and evil. Last time he swore Lily was possessed by the Devil and didn’t know if we needed to call Father Carmichael in to perform an exorcism on her.”
Cameron busted out laughing at that statement as he led her out of the bedroom. “Alright fair enough. I’ll ask him tonight when everyone’s half ripped to see what he adds to his story.
They arrived into the living room where the massive tree was set up. Cameron and the twins went out to the tree farm and picked out a twelve foot tree. When it arrived, Samantha was in tears because he knew this would make her happy.
He refused to let her climb the ladder and decorate the tree, so she put the twins to work, barking orders while they made her laugh, telling her the antics they were pulling in Las Vegas.
By the time they were done, Samantha had happy tears again and Cameron had to kiss
