Nick parked his car in front of Katie's house and practically leaped out, humming a Christmas carol as he made his way around to the trunk. He couldn't help being in such a cheerful mood. Christmas usually put him in a good mood, but he was ten times more excited this year. He couldn't wait to see the looks on Katie and the boys' faces when they got their gifts. He had been looking forward to this ever since he had found them on Black Friday. While his mother and sisters had gotten up at the crack of dawn like everybody else, he stayed home and shopped online and it paid off big time. He finally understood why his sisters got so excited when they hit a big sale. He smiled as he took the shiny new tricycles out of the trunk, one for Kyle and one for Connor. They're gonna be so excited, he thought to himself as he wheeled them up to the front door. After making sure that Katie's present was tucked safely in his jacket pocket, he eagerly rang the doorbell.

Not even nine o'clock yet, and everyone in the Fosterling house was already up and opening presents. Most of them were done now actually, and the kids were playing in the living room with their new toys while Toni and a few others were in the kitchen making breakfast. The doorbell rang then, and the first one that jumped up was the dog, who immediately started at the door, barking hysterically. "I got it!" called Katie, who grabbed the German Shepard, Duke, by his collar and yanked him into the other room before answering the door. Her eyes lit up when she saw who was standing there, not even aware that she was still in her pajamas with her hair uncombed and no makeup on. "Oh! Hey, Nick! How's it going? Merry Christmas!" she exclaimed, almost immediately pulling him into a hug before even realizing the gifts on either side of him. "Oh..damn. I think I know who those are for." she whispered, with a small giggle escaping after. "Come on in. We were just starting to get breakfast ready." she explained, leading him into the living room where everyone else was, mostly the kids who were all too preoccupied with their toys to notice the guest.

Nick smiled and threw his arms around Katie. "Merry Christmas beautiful," he whispered, kissing her on the forehead. "Yeah, I went overboard this year. I have no clue what to get them for their birthday next year. I hope they don't except too much." He laughed as he wheeled the tricycles into the hallway, left them there and followed Katie into the living room. Why are you talking about their birthday now? It's not until next summer....a lot can happen before then..... "Ummmm hi everyone...." He had met some of Katie's family before, but in small doses. Seeing them all together was just a bit overwhelming, although he was certainly no stranger to big families.

Katie laughed, returning the kiss he gave her. "Well, just as long as my present is somewhere on you, I'm happy." she laughed teasingly, giving him one more kiss on the lips before leading him the rest of the way in the house. Katie went ahead and introduced Nick around to the rest of her family, ending up in the kitchen where her dad was. He was glad to see him, that was for sure. Katie just figured he was happy that Katie wasn't just slacking off or sleeping around with random guys anymore. She has gotten a lot better since Nick entered her life anyway. "So, I guess we should go ahead and give the boys their gifts, huh?" she piped in, practically dragging Nick back out to the living room to the boys next.
"Hey, Kyle! Connor! Guess who's here with another present for you?" The boys practically squealed with excitement, dropping whatever toy they were holding, or rather fighting over, and instantly ran to Nick bouncing up and down on their toes squealing with excitement. "Pwesen'! Pwesen'!" they both chirped. "Big pwesen'? I wan' big pwesen'!" Kyle added in next, exaggerating his arms out widely.

"Well you're in luck, because I do happen to have your present with me right now. You're gonna have to wait a little while though." Nick nodded his head and waved politely as Katie introduced him to her relatives. Her siblings seemed pretty nice, even though he couldn't really remember their names. He hoped there wasn't some sort of random quiz afterwards because he knew that he'd fail it for sure. He calmed down a little once he met her father. It had been a long time since he had felt the need to charm the parents of a girl that he truly cared about. In fact, he couldn't even recall the last time he had officially met the parents of a girl. It was yet another step that he had never reached in a relationship. Luckily, to his relief, Katie's father didn't seem intimidating or threatening at all.
His face lit up brighter than the Christmas tree when Kyle and Connor ran to him. He knew that their excitement was because he had presents for them and not because they were actually genuinely happy to see him, but that didn't bother him too much. "Yes present," he said with a grin, kneeling down to their level and giving them a hug. "And it's big too." Not wanting to wait another second, he headed out to the hallway to get their presents. "Merry Christmas Kyle and Connor!" he exclaimed as he wheeled the tricycles into the living room.

"Awe, really?" Katie teased, sticking out her lower lip playfully. "Oh, fine...I'll wait." she chuckled, bumping into him playfully as well. After all the introduction, which seemed to have gone better than she'd thought, they were in the living room. And believe it or not, but Katie could of swore her heart warmed up even more when she saw Nick lower to the kids level and give them a nice big hug. Her smile widened with joy, and her eyes twinkled with hope.
The boys were a bit surprised by the hug at first, but Connor, being the friendly one, decided to hug him back. He liked the warm comfort that Nick gave...or in other words, he approved of his mother's boyfriend. Kyle on the other hand, just stood there plainly, and once his brother started cuddling, was when he tried to push away from the hug. "I wan' present!" he whined, finally managing to slip out of Nick's grasp. When he rolled out the presents though, well, you can imagine how the boys reacted. Wide-eyed with excitement along with squeals and giggles as they both instantly ran toward the tricycles that stood among them. "I ca' this one!" Kyle squealed, grabbing the red one while Connor went for the Blue one just as quickly. Katie just smiled through the whole thing, quite proud that she finally had someone that was willing to love and care for her, but her boys as well. She shook her head lightly with a small laugh then. "You boys are so spoiled..."

Nick felt a little hurt when Kyle pulled away, but he completely understood. Remember, they're excited about the presents, not you...... His heart warmed instantly when Connor hugged him back, proving his theory to be just a little bit wrong. Maybe he does like me after all.....
He grinned as the boys ran towards the tricycles. He had bought them on a bit of a whim and wasn't exactly a hundred percent sure whether or not they would like them. Judging by their reaction, he had definitely made the right decision. Still smiling, he walked over to Katie and wrapped his arm around her. "I'm so glad they like them. I was a little worried that they wouldn't. I was also worried that they'd start fighting over one and not want the other one." He laughed and kissed Katie on the cheek. "Yeah, they're spoiled alright. They're probably going to expect me to buy them a car next year. I'm not looking forward to seeing how disappointed they're going to be when it doesn't happen."

Watching as the boys immediately ran to the tricycles and had already chosen their own in less than a minute actually warmed Katie's heart a bit. She knew she wouldn't of been able to afford something as much as that, so it was even a surprise to her. When she felt Nick's arm around her shoulder, she smiled wider, leaning her head back on him. "I'm just surprised they're not arguing over a certain tricycle." she laughed, "Probably because you managed to pick out each of their favorite colors." she added in with another sweet giggle.
She noticed the boys enjoying their newest and biggest gifts, already riding them around in the living room, showing off to the other kids; mainly Kyle. Connor was just laughing and enjoying himself. "Yeah, they're spoiled alright." She turned to face him again with a grin. "I don't think they'll be expecting a car next year though...maybe a cell phone, but not a car yet.." she laughed, pressing her lips against his then.

"Yeah I did manage to do that," Nick said with an all-knowing grin. "Seriously though, it wasn't that hard. I mean, Kyle's favorite color is red and Connor's favorite color is blue. It's not that tricky to remember. I had a tougher time trying to figure out how to tell them apart." He chuckled and shook his head as he mentally recalled just how many times he had mixed the twins up in the past few months. Luckily, things had gotten easier once he started spending more time with them. Now he was able to tell them apart mostly based on their personalities. The fact that he was able to do this made him very proud of himself.
He raised an eyebrow after pressing his lips against Katie's in return. "A cell phone, huh?" he asked, knowing fully well that Katie was only joking. "I guess that's a good idea. It would be a great way to keep in touch with them while they're at daycare or something. They can't read yet, so I wouldn't have to worry about texting charges." He put his arm back around her and leaned in closer. "So speaking of presents, do you want yours right now or did you want to wait until we got some alone time?"

"Yeah, I know. Everyone says that." Katie laughed. "Its understandable though. I mean, they are twins. Identical at that." she shrugged, looking back over at the boys showing off their new 'rides'. "As long as you can tell them apart by their personalities though...you'll be fine." she added in with another giggle and a playful shove in his shoulder.
Katie threw her head back and laughed, she couldn't help it. With the way Nick explained it, it didn't seem like a bad idea. Not now anyway. "You got a point there. Plus, its not like they would call much of anyone really. Me and probably you. And each other. Don't think they would call anyone else really." she went along with him, enjoying the joke. As he leaned in closer to her then, her lips curled up into a wider smile. "Ohh...well, I do really want my present now. But.....I'll leave it up to you. Whenever's most convenient." she told him, pecking him on the lips.

Nick kept his arms wrapped around her as they watched the boys with their tricycles. It was amazing how quickly they were able to figure out how to ride them. I wonder if they'll pick up bike riding that easily...... He shook his head at the thought, mentally cursing himself for thinking far ahead yet again. He laughed lightly and kissed on the forehead. "Did you only kiss me because you wanted your present?" he asked teasingly. "Because it worked." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small gift wrapped box. Suddenly he got a little worried about the possibility of Katie liking her present. "This is for you....i-it's okay if you don't like it....I have the receipt in my wallet and I can take you to buy something else if you want....." He took a deep breath, waiting in nervous anticipation for Katie to open her gift.

Katie scrunched her face up after the kissed was received back to her. "Mm..maybe...." she hinted, walking her fingers over his chest flirtatiously. When he pulled out that small wrapped box, her eyes lit up then. "Oh!" she grabbed the gift he handed her, and began opening it. "Well if it's what I think it is, I'm sure I'll...." she didn't get to finish her sentence then as the box was already unwrapped and opened. Her eyes lit up even brighter, holding up the necklace to get a better look. "Oh my god. It's beautiful, Nick. Thank you!" she wrapped her arms around his neck for another hug and kiss, before returning her eyes back to the piece of jewelry.
Trinity was in the room then, and happened to see what Katie had received and she was just as excited as she ran towards them to take a look at it herself. "Oh my god, Katie! That is so beautiful!" Katie's face beamed at her. "You can thank my super awesome boyfriend. He's the one that gave me it." Katie looked back up at Nick with a softened smile. Trinity offered to help Katie strap the necklace around her neck then, and once it was on, both of the girls faces lit up brighter. Katie placed her finger tips over the corner of the necklace, and smiled back up to Nick again while Trinity was still admiring her sister's gift. "Thanks, Nick. I love it." she said much more calmly, and giving him another peck on the lips to show her gratitude.

"Yup, that's me," Nick said, smiling proudly from ear to ear. "The super awesome boyfriend." Even though he had been dating Katie for over six months now, it still gave him a rush to hear her refer to him as her boyfriend. He wrapped his arm around Katie and kissed her back. "I'm glad you like it. I actually thought of you as soon as I saw it." While he was thrilled at her reaction to her present, he couldn't help but feel a tiny stab of disappointment about not being the one to put the necklace on her himself. He knew it was a silly thing to be upset about, but he couldn't help it. Oh well, at least she likes it..... "So are you and the boys busy tonight?" he asked, mentally brushing off his disappointment. "I mean, I know you'll probably have Christmas dinner with your family or something, but will you be free afterwards?"

Once Trinity was finished swooning over her sister's gift, she offered to keep Kyle and Connor company while their mother got some time alone with her boyfriend. "Really?" she said, her eyes glowing brighter when she heard how she was thought of just from this little piece of jewelry. That made her feel real special now. After a short moment of silence, Katie turned back around to watch her boys play around on their tricycles still. Kyle seeming to be getting a little rough with his now, smashing into Connor every now and then. Katie simply just shook her head, and returned her gaze back on Nick's when he asked her another curious question. "No, not that I know of. What, were you planning something?" she asked curiously herself, with her head tilted slightly to the side.

"Yeah, although I think about you a lot anyways, so it wasn't a big surprise to me that the necklace made me think of you." Nick then remained silent for a little bit, watching the boys ride their tricycles as well. "Wow," he said after Kyle ran into Connor. "Maybe the tricycle is too tame for him. I think he would have been happier if we just took him to the amusement park and let him ride the bumper cars for a few hours." He directed his attention back to Katie, an all-knowing grin plastered on his face. "Yeah, I was planning a little something. Is seven tonight a good for this little something to take place or would you prefer a different time?"
