Tommy woke up and smiled, his husband was curled next to him. Snoring softly. He remembered this part. Being pregnant made Evan snore a little. Tommy thought it was adorable.
Tommy pulled Evan closer to him. He wanted to stay in this moment forever. But it was Christmas day, and their family would be there soon. And they had to get ready to make their announcement.
Tommy ghosted his fingers along Evan’s ribs and smiled at the breathy moan that escaped his husbands lips. “Tommy.” He whispered. Pushing his hips back into Tommy. “Please.” He begged.
This was still new to Tommy. Evan hardly wanted to be touched in the beginning of his pregnancy with Evie. It wasn’t until much later that they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. But Tommy wasn’t going to complain. He just reached over and pulled the bottle of lube from where it sat on the nightstand from the night before and prepared his husband for what Evan wanted.
Tommy held Evan close as they came down. Both feeling satisfied and sated, for now. “Merry Christmas, baby.” Evan muttered. Linking their hands together over his belly.
“Merry Christmas. Should we get up and get going? I am sure Miss Evie will be up soon. And everyone will be here soon.”
Evan yawned and nodded. “Yeah. I just want to take a nap.” Evan joked and Tommy chuckled. Pulling Evan up once he rounded the bed to the other side.
“Come on. Shower, then clothes. You can sit and boss me around.” Tommy smiled and Evan grabbed his outstretched hand and climbed from bed.
Christmas morning was in full swing. Everyone was there, Tommy was in the kitchen helping Maddie put a platter of food together.
“Hey.” She said softly, getting Tommy’s attention. “Is Buck, okay? He just looks tired. Everything go okay at his appointment a few weeks ago?”
Tommy’s eyes caught his husband as he was curled up on the couch watching the older kids surround Evie on her first Christmas.
“Yeah. He’s good. Clean bill of health. We’ve been up late all week. You know, connecting. Getting things ready for Evie.”
“Connecting? Like trying for another baby?”
“Well we’re not, not trying. We’re just letting things happen as they will.”
Maddie smiled and nodded. “Okay. Well food looks good. Let’s get these out, I think we’ve tortured the kids long enough.” Tommy laughed and followed Maddie out of the kitchen and placed the food on the table.
Making his way over to Evan, Tommy sat on the arm of the couch and leaned down to kiss Evan on his head. “You okay, baby?” He asked quietly as to not to catch anyone’s attention.
“This baby is literally sucking the life out of me. I just want to sleep.” Evan almost whined.
“I thought I sucked the life out of you last night.” Tommy joked and winked. Evan chuckled and smacked Tommy on his chest with the back of his hand. “Do you want to do it now?”
“Have you suck the life out of me? I mean, sure. We can’t be too long though.”
Tommy laughed and everyone looked over at them. “Sorry.” He cleared his throat. “No, husband. The picture. The announcement?”
“Oh, that. Yeah sure, we can table the other thing for now.” Evan laughed again, untucking his legs from beneath him.
“Hey, Mads, before we start letting the kids tear into this stuff. Can you take a picture for us with Evie in front of the tree?” Tommy asked, grabbing Evie from the center of the kids.
“Sure.” Tommy handed her his phone and walked into Evie’s room with her.
“Evan has an outfit he wants her to wear. Give us a minute.”
Once she was changed Tommy brought her back out and stood with her in front of the tree. Evan came to stand next to Tommy, his arm wrapping around Tommy as he repositioned Evie, so she was facing forward.
“Okay, are we ready?” Maddie asked the family, her smile beaming.
“Yeah, Just make sure Evie’s shirt can be seen.” Evan asked and Maddie narrowed her eyes at him in confusion.
“Okay, in three. One… two…” Tommy heard the gasp and his smile grew wide. It came from Athena, and he watched her cover her mouth and grab onto Bobby’s arm.
“Okay. Here let me check. Hang on.” Maddie pulled up the picture and examined it. “No, I don’t like it. Let me get another one.” She said, Tommy watched Athena walk up to Maddie and gently grab the phone from her zooming in on Evie in the middle.
Maddie read the shirt several times when she suddenly looked up at them “Oh, oh. Oh my god. What?” Maddie screamed. “Are you serious? Really? Is that why you look so tired?”
Evan nodded his head as Maddie pulled him into a tight hug. “Wait, what?” Howie asked and Tommy turned and handed Evie over to him as he read her shirt out loud. “My Christmas wish came true I’ll be a Big sister soon.” Howie looked at Tommy confused, and Hen smacked him on the arm.
“Give me my niece.” She said. Bringing her over to Karen, letting Karen read the shirt.
“My Christmas wish came true I’ll be a Big sis… What? Buck, you’re pregnant?” She asked, grabbing Hen’s arm and squeezing. Evan nodded his head, and the room suddenly erupted into cheers. Everyone coming up to congratulate the couple.
Tommy watched as person after person came up to them. His heart swelling with pride and love for the family that surrounded them, the one he and Evan were creating. And the one that Evan had brought him into.
