Kevin walked quietly towards his parents' bed and then gently poked his mother's shoulder. Jessica stirred and first snuggled closer to her husband, but when she was poked again she turned around to face her son.

"Hi." She smiled, "Wanna come up in the bed?"

Kevin nodded and Jessica picked him up and lied him down between herself and Horatio. Kevin grinned and gave mommy his Superman toy.

"Did Superman have a good night's sleep?" She asked.

"Yes." Kevin whispered and put a finger to his lip to show mommy that they had to be quiet because daddy was still sleeping.

Jessica smiled and ruffled her little boy's hair. When her body made it clear for her that it was time to eat she climbed out of bed and reached her arms out to Kevin, who shook his head.

"You want to stay with daddy?"

Kevin nodded and Jessica smiled before leaving to check on the other children. Joshua and Sophia were still asleep and Jessica took this as the perfect opportunity to place their Christmas gifts under the tree in the living room. Then she made breakfast for the family and waited for what she knew as coming; Sophia running down the stairs because she had heard someone in the kitchen. Sophia's little legs carried her quickly down the steps and then straight in to mommy's waiting arms.

"Hey there angel." Jessica smiled, "Are you happy today? It's Christmas Day!"

Sophia nodded, "Pwesent later."

"Yes, gifts later, but family celebration soon." Jessica said.

Sophia smiled and kissed her mother on the cheek before going to see if her brothers or daddy was awake. She never noticed that Kevin wasn't in his bed or lying next to Horatio, so she took that as a sign that they were all asleep. She went back to mommy in the kitchen and sat down by the table.

"Are you hungry?" Jessica asked.

"Yes, mommy eat?" Sophia asked.

"Mommy can eat with you and the others will have to eat later." Jessica smiled and sat down with her daughter by the table.

Meanwhile Horatio was waking up to the sound of his two favourite women in the world laughing and talking in the kitchen. However, when he opened his eyes he looked straight in to the blue eyes of his son.

"Good morning Kevin. You tired of waiting for daddy to wake up?" Horatio chuckled.

"Dada." Kevin grinned and jumped up on his father's chest.

Horatio yawned and then grabbed his son to tickle him. Kevin shrieked of joy and managed to escape from daddy's grip and run out of the bedroom. Horatio was quickly out of the bed and went in search for his little boy. Joshua had awoken during the commotion, but wouldn't tell daddy that Kevin was hiding behind their laundry basket.

"Good morning Joshua!" Horatio smiled, "Where is Kevin?"

Joshua just smirked and gave daddy a hug before demanding to get food. Kevin giggled and ran up behind daddy as he turned around. Horatio felt Kevin grab his leg and he turned around.

"There you are you little monster!" He exclaimed and grabbed him.

Holding both his sons under each arm, he entered the kitchen and gave his wife and daughter a kiss on the cheek. Then he sat Kevin and Joshua down in their chairs and brought them breakfast. Sometime after lunch Irene, Henry and Kim would arrive; Kim was 7 months pregnant with twin girls and next month Kyle would come home from Afghanistan.

-I-

While Henry was busy reading a story for Sophia and Irene was busy playing with the boys; Jessica and Horatio made dinner and waited for Kim to arrive. Horatio had volunteered to pick her up, but Kim was stubborn and decided to drive to the Caine household herself.

"Do you ever miss the New York winter?" Jessica asked.

"Yeah, especially around Christmas. I love the snow." Horatio smiled, "But Miami is more home to me than New York."

"Well, I hope you like this Christmas even without the snow." Jessica grinned.

Horatio kissed her deeply and smiled, "Of course."

The doorbell rang and then the door opened; Kim didn't have to wait for someone to open the door for her, she was family after all. Kim walked in with some bags of Christmas gifts and some cake.

"Pregnant woman coming through!" She called out as she entered the kitchen.

She put the bags down on the floor and the cake down on the table. Jessica and Horatio gave her a hug and then the kids came running.

"Me touch belly!" Sophia exclaimed and put her little hand on the belly to feel her nieces kick.

"Oo!" Joshua exclaimed when he felt the babies kick.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Kim smiled, "Can't believe it's only two months left."

"Any names yet?" Henry asked.

"Yeah, Rose and Hayley." Kim grinned, "I've decorated the nursery and bought everything I need for them when they come home. I can't wait."
"I remember the feeling." Irene smiled, "As fun as it is to be pregnant, when you get close to your due date you just want it to be over."

Kim nodded in agreement. While the women talked about pregnancies and put everything on the table, the men finished the last of the food and then it was time to eat.

"Kevin, don't steal Joshua's food!" Jessica chuckled and Kevin smirked.

"When they get older they'll steal each other's homework too." Henry smirked, "And I'll teach them how."

"Just because you cheated of my homework when we were kids, doesn't mean they will." Jessica said.

"You cheated of her homework?" Horatio and Irene exclaimed.

"Yes." Henry blushed, "I know she's my younger sister, but she was better at math than me."

"And you never told me he cheated?" Irene asked her daughter.

"No, I didn't know he did until he started college and gave himself up one drunken night." Jessica laughed at the memory, "He couldn't remember it the day after."

"And you've never let me forget it either." Henry smiled.

"I wonder what your friends would say if they found out that you cheated off your little sister's math homework." Horatio smirked playfully.

"I'll mow your lawn if you swear not to tell." Henry said.

"Great! The lawn needs it." Horatio grinned.

-I-

"Open pwesent now?" Sophia asked.

Jessica and Horatio looked at each and pretended to think; Sophia waited patiently and grinned when she was given the okay. The boys were given a gift each and unlike Sophia they didn't rip off the paper, but took it slow. Also they had to have help opening the gift wrap at times.

"Wow!" Sophia exclaimed as she saw the big plastic boat she had been given with little paddles for her to use when swimming in the ocean.

"Sank you!" She smiled at her parents.

She then opened a gift from Kim and grinned when she saw that she had been given a new tricycle since her old one was getting a little too small. She hugged Kim and then continued on to the other gifts. Joshua was given a new set of toy cars that were bigger than his old ones; Joshua loved cars above all else. Kevin was given a kite and he started to run around in the living room hoping it would fly.

"We can try it outside later Kevin." Jessica smiled.

The boys then continued opening their other gifts. Kim was given baby clothes and toys and also other things that could be useful when the babies arrived. Just as the kids finished opening all the gifts the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Kim said, "I need to get up and stretch my legs anyway."

Kim opened the door and let out a shriek of surprise. Jessica peeked around and corner and gasped.

"Kyle!" Kim exclaimed and hugger her husband.

Everyone ran to the door and Kyle grinned when his little sister came flying like bullet in his direction.

"Hey everyone!" Kyle smiled, "I came home early."

"And you didn't call?" Kim asked with tears in her eyes, "We could have picked out up at the airport."

Everyone laughed.

"I wanted to surprise you." Kyle grinned and gave her a kiss.

He put his hand on the belly and felt his daughters kick.

"Does it hurt?" He asked.

"No." Kim grinned.

Kyle walked further inside the house and hugged everyone in the family. Sophia demanded that he would hug her the longest and the boys wanted to show Kyle their new toys. Kyle was still dressed in military clothes.

"They let you home early?" Horatio asked.

"Yeah, I asked them if it was possible to go home early to my pregnant wife and my family." Kyle smiled, "I also told them my dad was in the hospital."
"What?" Horatio chuckled, "For what?"

"I said you were clumsy and accidentally stabbed yourself with a kitchen knife." Kyle shrugged.

"Accidentally stabbed myself with a kitchen knife? And they believed that?" Horatio laughed.

"Yeah, although I suspect my unit Chief knows that I lied." Kyle smirked, "They said I could go home and while I was at it I made sure they can never take me back in."

Kim hugged him and he gave her a kiss.

"So I'm starving, you got any food?" He asked.

"Sure, come this way." Jessica smiled and went to the kitchen.

Since everyone wanted to tell Kyle what had happened in the last 4 months that he might have missed and hear about how everything had been for him they went with him. Christmas was now even more perfect that anyone could have imagined now that the family was complete!

And 6 weeks later Kim gave birth to two healthy baby girls that were named Rose and Hayley!
