Seth wakes up and crawls out of bed. He looks around and then walks over to Dean's bed. It's still dark out. He crawls onto Dean's bed and shakes Dean's arm. "Dean."
Dean mumbles sleepily. "Seth? I'm tired."
Seth whispers. "I couldn't sleep."
Dean pulls Seth down and mumbles. "it's too early."
Seth cuddles down and holds onto Dean.
Dean whispers. "Daddy said that Santa knows when we're awake."
Seth nods and holds onto Dean. He then whispers. "What if Santa comes into the our room."
Dean whispers. "He wants to give us gifts Seth. Not hurt us."
Seth nods. Both boys look up when the door starts to open. Seth freezes and then wraps his arms around Dean. Randy though walks in still tired himself.
"Kiddo's what's going on." Randy whispers softly.
Seth looks up at his Daddy. "I can't sleep."
Randy looks at the clock in the hall. It's 4am. "You guys want to come sleep with us?"
Seth nods happily and Dean whispers. "please."
Randy takes both boy's hands and then leads them to his and Roman's room. Roman looks up and then helps Seth onto the bed and Randy picks Dean and puts him onto the bed.
Randy shrugs. "easier."
Seth cuddles up to Roman and Dean holds onto Randy. Seth yawns and mumbles that he's not tired. Roman chuckles softly and kisses Seth's head. "I know you're not."
Seth mumbles and his eyes drift shut. Dean sleeps soundly curled against Randy.
In the morning Roman wakes up with a start. There's the smell of pancakes in the air and bacon. He looks over and sees Randy still sound asleep but their boys are no where in sight. Roman rolls over and gets up. Wondering who showed up since he knows his boys wouldn't touch the stove so there must be someone else there.
Roman walks out and spots Jimmy sitting with Seth at the kitchen counter. Seth was covered from head to toe in flour as he helps Jimmy mix something. Naomi has Dean in the kitchen helping her cook pancakes. Elaine and his mother are sitting in the dinning room helping prepare the fruit. Roman smiles softly at the scene.
Seth looks up and then smiles brightly at Roman. "Daddy!"
Roman walks over and wraps his son up in a hug.
Seth whispers. "happy Christmas."
Roman laughs softly. "it's Merry Christmas son."
Seth nods and then says. "Merry Christmas."
Jimmy grins. "Merry Christmas uso."
Dean looks up and receives a hug from Roman as well. "Merry Christmas Daddy."
Roman smiles "Merry Christmas Guys."
Randy walks out sleepy and eyes all the people in the house. "whoa. I see everyone just let themselves in."
Naomi grins at him from the kitchen. "You get a free Breakfast. So shh."
Randy mumbles. "better be chocolate chip."
After breakfast, gifts are opened. Seth and Dean have never seen so many gifts and so many bought for them. Roman, Elaine, Mary and Naomi must have bought out small stores.
Seth holds his new stuffed dinosaur and Dean has another tiger. Each curled up in a dad's lap after opening a ton of gifts. Seth cuddles into Roman and closes his eyes tired after all the excitement. Dean was even quiet and sleepy. Neither father though was pushing a nap instead letting them fall asleep on their laps.
Seth as he falls asleep whispers. "love you daddy."
Roman smiles softly and whispers. "Love you too Seth."
Dean nods and whispers. "love you."
Randy smiles softly and whispers. "love all of you."
And both boys know they mean it.
