At the cabin...
Meredith's POV:

It was finally the holidays and the entire family gathered at the cabin. I am around 1 1/2 months pregnant!

"Meredith!" I hear someone say.

"Carolyn!" I say running to hug her.

"How have you and the baby been?" She asks

"Great! I mean besides the twins arguing over the gender and the morning sickness." I reply

"What do the twins think the gender is?" She asks

"Well Lucas thinks it's a girl and Amelie thinks it's a boy." I say giggling

"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?" She says laughing

"That's what I say!" We both started laughing and catching up.

*later that afternoon*

"So Meredith what is the name of my new grandchild gonna be?" Susan asked

"I don't know. Mark and I haven't talked about it. I would want it to have a special meaning but currently nothing pops in to mind." I say

"Hey babe!" Mark says interrupting us

"Hey whatcha up to?" I ask

"Nothing." Mark says a little to quickly

"Sure. Have you seen the twins and Laura?" I ask

"Yep! We were in our room upstairs!" He says

"What were you doing there?" I ask

"Nothing really." He said

"I know your lying but ok." I replied

*around bedtime*

"Ame! Lucas!" Susan called

"Yeah grandma?" Lucas asked with Amelie by his side.

"Are you guys excited for Christmas?" Thatcher asked

"Yeah!" Amelie said

"Well to get gifts you have to go to sleep so Santa can bring the gifts!" Susan said

"Whyyy!" Amelie whined

"Because Santa likes kids who listen and it's a rule you have to be asleep when he comes or else he won't bring your gifts." Thatcher said

"How does he know if your asleep or not?" Lucas asked

"He just knows Lucas." Thatcher said

"You guys ready for bed?" I ask the twins

"Almost we just need pjs!" Amelie said

"Ok go get ready." I said. The twins ran off to get ready.

"So have you guys decided if you want to help with the gifts?" I ask the pair

"We decided to watch the kids with Richard, Catherine, and Carolyn seeing as only the young people can run and hide faster." Susan said

"Ok do you guys need hel-" I was interrupted.

"Hey." Mark said with a smirk as he kissed my neck and wrapped his arms around my waist

"Jesus Christ! Mark! You scared the hell out of me!" I yelled

"Sorry." He said

"Ok sorry. I was gonna say do you guys need any help with anything?" I ask

"It's ok and nothing just know that our gifts are in the laundry room." Thatcher said. Everyone had to hide their gifts somewhere out of their rooms so whoever was putting the gifts under the tree had quick access to them.
