All I want for Christmas is you and you and you...

Nick chuckled as he continued to drive past the various lights and decorations. "I'm glad you guys like it," he said. "Oooooo look Kyle! There's another gingerbread man and he's even bigger. Isn't that cool? Hey Connor, we're gonna see Santa soon. You excited?" He pushed the play button on his car stereo, causing the song "Sleigh Ride" to blast out of the speakers. He kept one hand on the wheel and used his other to take Katie's hand. "Yeah, it sure is beautiful all right. Real beautiful."

Kyle kept his nose pressed up against the window as Nick continued pointing out different decorations. "Whoaaa...." he continued to say, while Connor stayed pressed up against his window repeating, "Woww..." every now and then. Connor perked his head up then at the mention of seeing Santa. "Ohh! I wanna see San'a! I wanna see him! I been vewy good boy!"
Katie just simply giggled, turning around with a smile across her face. "Oh, I know you have, Connor. It's Kyle I'm more worried about though.." she drifted her eyes over to the other twin who perked his head up as well.
"I good, too!" he piped up, causing Katie to giggle some more.
"I don't know, Kyle....we'll have to see what Santa says about that..." she continued to tease, and turned back around to grab Nick's hand again. She smiled at his comment, and nodded as a small response while she continued to gaze out the window admiring all the amazing decorations set up around and down the road from them.

Laughing again, Nick kept right on driving. "Don't worry Kyle, I'm sure Santa thinks you've been a good boy. I'm sure he's seen some very naughty boys this year." He certainly knew quite a few of them. His own brother definitely qualified. He had been out of touch with Hayden for awhile, but if he was anything like Nick remembered, he made Kyle look like an angel. "But don't worry," he continued. "I still love you and your brother whether you're good boys or not." Still holding Katie's hand, he turned to her and whispered with a smile, "And I love you too." He wasn't sure if now was the best time to say it, considering that her kids were sitting in the backseat, but he certainly meant it. "Hey look, there's Santa!" he suddenly called out cheerfully, pointing outside the window to a six foot tall lit up replica of him.

Kyle grinned mischievously at Nick's comment. "I know! I saw lots mowe badder kids than me!" he said proudly, crossing his arms over his puffed out chest and all. Connor paid no attention to his brother, and continued staring out the window at all the beautiful lights and decorations. Including the Santa Nick pointed out all of a sudden. "Ooo~ San'a!!!" the boys shouted in unison. Katie looked too, but not long before she heard Nick say those words she's been waiting to hear. She turned to him with a wide smile, and whispered back, "I love you, too." As she gave his hand a gentle squeeze.

[Dani]

"Glad to hear it," Nick whispered back. A part of him wished that he had done it in private with just the two of them so that he would be able to say more, but he knew that there would be plenty of time in the future for them to talk. The important thing was that she felt the same way. He didn't really doubt her feelings, but it was nice to hear them out loud. "Okay guys, we're heading home now," he said, turning around to look at the twins. "Say bye to Santa!"

[Tori]

Katie gave a simple nod and smile, and played along with the boys by waving to Santa. "Bye Santa." she giggled aloud. "Hope to see lots of presents under the tree. Right boys?" she asked, turning her head behind at the twins. "Yeah! Bye San'a!! Wememba to bwing us lots of toys! Mowe to me than Conna though!" Kyle squealed, waving both his hands as Connor did. Connor gave his brother a little glare, before adding in, "I the good one! I get mowe pweasents than you!" Katie shook her head again, giggling at her boys usual bickering at each other. She was surprisingly pretty tired herself. She couldn't imagine what the boys would do to wake her up the next morning. Hell, she doubted they would even sleep at all after a night like this.
