I walked into the house a few hours later to see Alan seated on the ground playing with Noelle. I smiled. Hey guys. I said as I closed the door. They both looked at me. Aunt Jamaica! Noelle exclaimed. I smiled as she ran and jumped into my arms. I smiled and picked her up as Alan stood up and smiled. Thank you so much for watching her Alan, I appreciate it. I said as Sleep came downstairs. He smiled. It wasn't a problem, she's a sweetheart. he said smiling at Noelle. I smiled. I'm glad to hear that. I said. So, how was the party? he asked. Good, the Coleman's are amazing people. I said with a smile as I watched him put his shoes and jacket on. Good, well I'll see you two later. he said smiling at Noelle and I. Noelle waved at him as he walked over to the door. Thank you again, Alan; you're the greatest. I said. He laughed with a smile. Anytime Jay, see you soon. he said with a wink before disappearing out of the house. I looked at Sleep. Do you need to go outside? I asked. He barked at me and I laughed. Alright, come on Noelle. I said walking over to the door. I helped her put her coats and boots open as I did the same. I grabbed Sleep's leash and clasped it on his collar. I grabbed the keys and opened the door. I walked outside with them and grabbed Noelle's hand as I locked the door. I put the keys in my pocket and walked with through the lit up town. Christmas lights illuminated every house. Aunt Jamaica, look at that one! Noelle exclaimed. I looked at the house she was pointing towards. It was completely lit up. I smiled. It's beautiful, huh? I asked. She nodded with a smile as we walked further down the street. Sleep barked and I looked in the direction he was facing. There sat Santa Claus and elves taking pictures with kids. I smiled. You want to take a picture with Santa? I asked Noelle. She nodded with a smile. We walked over to that direction and waited in line. When it was our town, Noelle walked up and Santa placed her into his lap. And what would you like for Christmas? he asked her with a smile. She ran a hand through her hair as she thought about it. She leaned up and whispered in his ear. I raised an eyebrow as I saw a smile spread on his lips. She pulled back and looked at him as he looked at her. It will be done. he said with a smile. She smiled and hugged him as the elves and I took a picture of them. I looked at the picture and smiled as Santa helped Noelle down. That's a fine pup you got there. one of the elves said looking at him. I laughed. Yeah, this is my son, Sleep. I said. They all laughed. That's really his name? Santa asked. Sir Sleeps A lot, if we're being technical. I said with a laugh. Everyone laughed as they pay Sleep's head. Well, it was wonderful meeting you all, Merry Christmas. Santa said smiling at us. Merry Christmas! Noelle and I waved as we walked back with Sleep towards the house.

When we arrived back at the house, there was a car pulling up in the garage. Val and Maks got out. Maks looked in our direction and smiled. We walked up the driveway and Maks took Noelle from me and hugged her. Ey sweetheart. he said kissing her head. She smiled. Val looked over at me and a smile spread on his lips. I laughed as he came over and took Sleep's leash. Where did you go? he asked. Took Noelle down the road to meet Santa. I said with a smile. He nodded. Open presents yet? he asked. I shook my head. I wanted to wait for you guys to get home. I said. He nodded. Well, I can't wait any longer; lets go! he said grabbing my hand and leading us all into the house. He unhooked Sleep from his leash and hung it up. He lead us into the living room and walked over to the tree and started handing out presents. I had a few presents from everyone. I smiled as everyone's eyes were on me. I decided to open the one from Derek first. I unwrapped it to reveal Derek's new book and a photo album of us. Aww. I said as I flipped through a few of the photos. I opened the cover of the book to see Derek wrote some stuff. Jamaica, hope this will entertain you while you have off time from tour, or even while you're on tour. Think you can relate to a few things in here. Let me know what you think when you're done. Best wishes
              Your best friend (and only bestfriend :P) Derek Hough
              P.S. I love you xoxo
I laughed as I finished reading what he wrote. Open mine. Maks said. I nodded and grabbed a red bag. I pulled out one wrapped gift and looked at him. He nodded for me to continue. I unwrapped the gift to reveal a family portrait of all of us from Thanksgiving. I smiled. Aw Maks, this is so cute! I said. He smiled. I thought you would like it. he said. There's a few other things in there. he said. I pulled out a envelope to reveal a card and a ticket. I pulled out the card and read it aloud.
You, Jamaica are cordially invited to attend the wedding of Maksim Chmierkowskyi and Peta Murtagoyd. I read the date, location, etc, and opened the card to see the words. Will you be my maid of honor? ~Peta.  I smiled up at Maks. Really? I asked. He nodded. We wouldn't have it any other way. he said with a smile. I smiled. I would love to be her maid of honor. I said as I set the card and envelope with the ticket on the table as I pulled out the last gift in the bag. I opened it to reveal a rose gold watch. Maksim Chmierkowskyi! I said with a gasp. What, you don't like it? he asked. I shook my head. No, I love it! It's beautiful, but I told you not to get me anything expensive. I said playfully slapping his chest. He laughed. You should know by now that I don't listen. he said. I rolled my eyes as I grabbed a box that was from Noelle. She giggled as I grabbed it and I laughed. I opened it to reveal a wrapped gift and an envelope. I smiled as I opened the envelope to reveal a Christmas card she made in school. I smiled as she walked over and sat in my lap. You want to read it? I asked. She nodded as she grabbed the card from me and read it out loud to us. I smiled once she was finished and kissed her head. I grabbed the wrapped gift and opened it to reveal a heart shaped locket with a picture of her and I inside. I smiled. Noelle, this is beautiful sweetie! I said hugging her. She smiled and wrapped her arms around me. We pulled away and Val handed me a bag. Really? I asked. He nodded. Just open it. he said with a laugh. I pulled out the contents of the bag to see a photo album of some of the engagement pictures Val and I already took. I smiled as I flipped through. These are amazing. I said smiling at him. He smiled back at me as I pulled out the last thing in the bag. A DWTS sweater with the words Mrs. Val Chmierkowskyi printed on it. I smiled as everyone else began opening their presents. There was one present left. I walked over to Val and sat down next to him as I handed Maks my phone to videotape Val opening the gift. Val looked at us weird and I just smiled. He slowly opened the gift to reveal a baby dancing outfit and a pair of baby dancing shoes. Val looked at me with an eyebrow raised. I smiled as he pulled out pictures from my first ultrasound. No..he said looking at me then back to the pictures. I smiled at him as he looked up at me. You're..he said. I nodded with a big smile. You're going to be a father. I said. He smiled at me as a tear left his eye and he pulled me into his arms. I love you so much. he said kissing my head. I laughed as a tear left my eye. I love you too. I said. We pulled away and he looked at me. It's a girl, right? he asked. I nodded with a smile. Oooo, she's gonna be spoiled! Val said admiring the outfit I picked out for her. We all laughed.
