I wake up and walk to the bathroom quietly. Slipping on some Christmas sleep pants that I bought for this time of year and throwing on a plain white shirt, before doing the morning normal.

Holly and Nicolas both are still sleeping peacefully, so I walk to the kitchen and start the coffee. Pulling things out I get to making a large breakfast for the three of us. Need to kick start our second Christmas together the best way by good food.

Wow. I can't believe tomorrow is our second Christmas together. It feels so wonderful to think about it. My heart warms and I get this overly sense of happiness wash over me. I send up a quick thank you to Isabel because I truly feel she brought us Holly last year. We all needed each other and it is true love.

The pancakes are almost done along with the bacon and eggs when Nicolas comes walking out. He washes his hands and helps me to finish up breakfast as we talk away the morning. Nicolas attempts to guess his gifts and I am actually able to keep a straight face and not give anything away, but it is the best moments with him trying.

This year we didn't do Santa because Nicolas had told us him knowing the truth. We all still do a Christmas wish though because that is one thing I truly do believe in being real.

We make up a huge tray and I carry it to the bedroom, Nicolas leading the way. He opens the door and then sits on the end of the bed lightly.

"Good morning, snowflake." I whisper and kiss Holly's head, after placing the tray on the nightstand.

"Good morning." She smiles and sits up.

The three of us enjoy breakfast in bed together and then clean up the mess. Holly walks into the living room and sits on the couch.

"Are you okay?" I ask her, because she just seems quiet this morning and looking a little different.

"All good." She smiles but it doesn't seem right.

Nicolas picks out the Christmas movie and we all sit back to watch it. About an hour into the movie Holly gets off the couch and walks some, swaying her hips back and forth. Now I know something is going on.

I get up from the couch and rub her lower back. Holly moves into my hand more.

"That feels so good." She releases a breath.

"Are you having contractions?"

"I don't know. At first they were just light like braxton hicks but just then it hurt. I know moving with the false contractions helps but this didn't until you started rubbing my back." Holly looks at me.

"What can we do?" I ask her and look out the window to see nothing but white out there.

"For now, time them and if I get a few more in the next hour than we know it is labor starting. I don't want to risk driving out in that."

"We can't risk it Holly the forecast is saying we can get over a foot of snow in less than two hours time." I sigh and rub my forehead.

I can't deliver a baby and Holly being a doctor doesn't really need to deliver Eve herself either. Not to mention if something goes wrong, that is even more I can't help on because I don't know what to do. All I done when Nicolas was born is hold Isabel's hand.

Don't freak out. Don't freak out. Breath.

I do the best thing I can right now in talking to myself. I can't freak out and then it gets Holly into worrying and that is the last thing she needs right now.

I grab her some water and watch her drink some of it slowly. As the hour wears on, sure enough, Holly has three more pains.

"It is definitely labour." Holly whispers with us in the kitchen having got up with the last one.

We hadn't told Nicolas just yet, what is going on and he is into the movie to not realize Holly's faces when she has been in pain.

"Tell Nicolas and I will call Massie." Holly lets a breath out and picks her phone up.

I walk to the living room and sit on the floor next to where Nicolas decided to sit for this movie.

"Hey Buddy."

"Everything okay? You never start with that unless it is something big and your voice sounds off." Nicolas snaps his head towards me. "Where is Mama?"

"She is in the kitchen calling Massie. We are pretty sure she is in labor and could be having Eve soon."

"My baby sister is coming." Nicolas smiles and jumps off the floor.

"Jack you need to look at the forecast." Holly comes out of the kitchen looking a little pale compared to how she normal looks.

I grab my phone from my pocket where I placed it after timing her contractions. I bring it up and we are under a blizzard warning!

Freaking out right now! What in the world are we going to do!

I suck in as much oxygen as I can get into my lungs before slowly letting it out.

"Where does Massie live? I can try and get to her." I stand from the floor.

Holly must have Massie on speaker phone now and she heard me from the "NO!" shouted out.

"You have to stay there with Holly at all cost, because I may have to walk you through how to deliver your daughter. I am grabbing my bag now and heading to you guys. There is several miles difference and I will walk it if I have too." Massie's voice comes out from the phone.

"We can't get to the hospital?" Nicolas speaks up.

"No, Buddy, it would be incredibly dangerous with the way it already is snowing and we are under a blizzard warning." I keep my voice calm.

Even though on the inside I could just about faint, puke, or crap myself here and now and just about in that order.

"I am locking up my door now. You just stay calm." Massie speaks again and then hangs up.

Holly puts her phone down just as she grabs the side of her stomach and sways again.

"This is not the way I wanted her birth to be. I much rather have gave birth in the hospital and with pain meds." Holly tries to laugh after she catches her breath.

"I know, snowflake. You got this though. Your so strong and we will do it together. I am just hoping Massie can make it here." I rub her back.

Nicolas comes over and gives Holly a hug. "What can I do Mama?"

"Not much little man. Is there anything you want to do for fun?"

Nicoals shakes his head. "I don't think I can even build right now. I want to be with you and Dad through this. When it comes time to show everything I will stay in my room though, because those pictures in the book was awful enough."

Holly laughs and I join in. Nicolas has been all about those medical books recently in learning all he can with everything.

"That will be great little man." Holly smiles at him.

A/N---

Hey Hey Guys!!!

Babies sure do come on their own time don't they?

Will when Eve be born exactly? She is wanting to make an appearance right here at Christmas.

Could it be a short labor or an overly long labor to push them past Christmas day?
