Hey everyone! I know, I know, I've been gone forever and probably should work on updating old stories, but I really wanted to do a Christmas story, so I'm doing that instead. If you're curious, Kiss The Muse will likely get updated after Christmas, so stay tuned for that. Essentially I have to be done with this story by December 22 because of family stuff, so I'm going to work really hard to get it done. If the final chapter doesn't come out until after Christmas, I'm sorry. It just is what it is. Anywho, enjoy! Ps, if you've read my Oneshot Until Tomorrow, this falls into the same cannon only a few years later and focusing on different characters.
"Wow! Look at the size of this one!" a three year old Alex gasped as he pointed at a shinny red package, "It's like... a big as an elephant!"
"No it's not! Look at this one! It's even bigger, Alex," Isabelle, Alex's older sister by three years retorted,
"Uncle Kai, what do you think is in that one?" Alex asked as he pointed to another gift that had an odd shape. Weirdly, both his and Isabelle's names appeared on the label.
"A puppy?" Kai guessed. How was he supposed to know?
"I'd hope not!" Isabelle giggled, "It wouldn't be able to breathe!"
"Isabelle, Alex, it's time for bed! Come upstairs and put your pins on!" Nya called from the top of the stairs.
"Aw! Daddy do we have to?" Isabelle and Alex whined.
Jay nodded, "listen to your mother."
The two kids sighed and clamber up the stairs.
Kai chuckled, "Ah, kids! I'm never having any."
Jay elbowed him, "I said that too you know. And look at me now, my third one's on the way."
"What?" Kai gasped.
"Whoops! I wasn't supposed to say anything until everyone else gets here tomorrow. You didn't hear anything, alright?"
Kai nodded, "Alright."
Moments later, Nya came back downstairs carrying Alex on her hip.
"Is Alex not going to sleep?" Jay asked. He reached out and took his son from Nya. Alex curled up in his lap and sucked his thumb.
"He said his stomach hurts, but I think he just wanted to stay up until his grandparents come in," Nya replied. She was talking about Ed and Edna. Ray and Maya had arrived with Kai and were currently out to dinner with Misako and Wu while they were in town, "I figured Christmas is in two days, what the check?"
Alex soon fell asleep in Jay's lap as the three ninja continued talking. Around nine thirty, there was a knock at the door, and Ed and Edna came in. Ray, Maya, Wu, and Misako returned a bit later, and everyone began discussing rooms.
"We moved our kids into the master bedroom with us. Zane, Pix, and Jada are sleeping in the guest bedroom. Wu, I hope you don't mind that we put you in the basement with Kai, Lloyd, Cole, and his father. Mom, Edna, and Misako, you'll be in Isabelle's room. And Dad and Ed, you'll be in Alex's room. Sorry, I guess we're not really prepared to host all this many people at once," Nya explained.
"It's fine. You've put in a ton of work. Don't worry about it Nya," Edna assured her.
Suddenly, Kai, Jay, and Nya's phones all went off simultaneously.
"Hello, Lloyd?"
"Hey guys, sorry if I interrupted anything, but we're having a bit of a problem. I'm here with everyone at the Jamanickai airport, but all the flights were canceled. Is there any way you guys could come pick us up?"
Jay sighed, "We can, but the kids..." he began to protest.
"Will be perfectly fine spending time with both sets of grandparents, Wu, and Misako," Maya interrupted taking Alex out of Jay's arms.
"Then it's settled then. We'll leave as soon as we pack a few basic things and say goodbye to Isabelle and Alex. See you at eleven tomorrow morning?" Nya guessed.
"Great! Thanks you guys so much! We're going to try to squeeze into a hotel tonight. I'll let you know later where to find us," Lloyd exclaimed.
"Yeah, no problem!" Kai shrugged.
(Time skip)
"Isabelle, Sweetie, can you wake up?" Nya asked.
"Is it morning already?" Isabelle yawned.
"No Sweetie, but Daddy, Uncle Kai, and I have to go help out our friends. We wanted to say goodbye to you first."
Isabelle yawned again, "But Christmas is in two days!" She protested.
"We don't want to have Christmas without you!" Alex, who had already waken up begged.
Jay knelt down to Alex's level, "Don't worry kids, we'll be home in time."
"Promise?" Isabelle asked.
"Promise," Nya smiled, "We'll be home for Christmas."
Well, there's the first chapter for ya! I hope you all enjoyed. I haven't seen many Christmas stories on here focusing on the India's kids, so I thought I'd give it a go. Chapter two will be up tomorrow or Saturday night hopefully. Until then, God bless!
#God's Not Dead!
