This is the last chapter. Thank you for all the support and reviews. I would love it if you reviewed this chapter! The chapter is very corny.

"Welcome home Hollei!" I said as Izzy walked through the door with her. She was now 2 weeks old and like we had hoped was home before Christmas. It was Christmas Eve and Cam was really excited that Santa was coming.

"Can I hold her?" Cam asked but I shook my head.

"She's asleep right now. When she wakes up you can."

"Fine. I'm gonna go play in my room."

"I'll come play with you in a few minutes." He ran off and Izzy was rocking Hollei.
"I'm so glad she's home." She whispered and I nodded.

"I'm going to head home now but call me if you need me. Kalynn is in her crib." My mom said as she kissed us goodbye.

"I'm so tired." Izzy whined.

"Go put Hollei down in her nursery and go take a nap. I'll hold the fort down." I said and she walked away. I ran up to Cam's room so I could play with him. I'd been ignoring him a bit since Hollei was born. I couldn't help it. I spent most of my time at the hospital.

"Hey buddy, can I play with you?"

"Yeah but does Kalynn or Hollei have to be here?"

"They're sleeping right now. Why? Do you not like them?"

"I like them but….I miss just spending time with you. We used to eat pizza a lot."

"How about I order a pizza tonight for dinner?" he gave a small nod but didn't smile.

"I'm really sorry that I haven't been around for a while but I have to take care of your siblings. I'll spend more time with you I promise. I love you buddy."

"I love you too." He smiled and handed me a toy truck.

"Are you excited for Santa to come?"

"I really hope I get my bike! I've been a really good boy."

"I know you have. I'm sure Santa will get you everything you wanted." I told him and he was smiling from ear to ear. A small cry made me turn towards the door.

"I have to go get Hollei but I'll be right back. Can she come and play?" I asked.

"I guess that would be fine." I went and got her and brought her carrier in the room with me. I laid her down in there and continued playing with Cam.

"How're you feeling?" I asked Izzy later that night.

"I'm a bit tired. Running around taking care of 2 babies… I can't even remember where I put your Christmas gifts." She mumbled as she laid face down on the bed.

"That's fine. You gave me Hollei, that's all I need."

"Thank God Christmas is tomorrow."

"Cam is beyond excited."

"The bike is in the garage, just bring it in in the middle of the night." She said as I got into bed and snuggled up against her.

"I got you two small presents."

"What are they?" she asked.

"Well, the first gift is in your top draw." She rolled over and giggled when she saw what it was.

"A box of condoms. Wow, Kendall, how generous." She laughed and I nodded.

"My other gift is…uh…after a long time thinking and talking to my agent, I've decided to retire from hockey."

"Are you serious? You mean you won't have to travel anymore?"

"That's true. I can spend more time with you and our kids and we can go on vacation. I have enough money to sustain us a bit and I am applying for a job at the local high school. I'm also doing private lessons."

"Are you sure this is what you wanted to do?"

"My family means more to me than my hockey team."

"I love you." She said as she kissed me and the smile on her face made me happy.

"You want your gifts now?" she asked.

"Yeah!"

"I think I know where they are." She got out of bed and dug through her draw.

"Here!" she smiled and handed me an envelope. I opened it and read through the contents.

"You….you want to adopt Kalynn."

"She is my daughter." She gave a small smile and I nodded.

"So all we have to do is sign these papers and then you'll be her mom?"

"Yeah, we have to sign it in front of our lawyers but other than that…. She can be mine when I sign."

"I'm so happy right now. I have everything I've ever wanted."

"Me too." She whispered as she kissed me. I looked at the clock and noticed it was midnight. It was officially Christmas.

"Merry Christmas baby."

Merry Christmas Kendall."

"Wake up! Wake up! It's Christmas!" Cam was yelling as he hopped on our bed.

"Calm down bud, don't wake up your sisters." I mumbled.

"Come on! I want to see if Santa left me a bike!"

"Come on Kendall. He's relentless on Christmas." The three of us went downstairs and started opening up some small gifts. My daughters were still upstairs sleeping.

"Did Santa not bring me a bike?" he asked with a pout.

"I think he might have. Why don't you go check the den?" I suggested and he went running. I heard him scream and I knew he had found it. Kalynn and Hollei started to cry and Izzy groaned.

"I'll grab them." Izzy said as she went to bring them in. Cam came in and jumped in my lap.

"Thanks for the gifts daddy. You and Santa did good." He said.

"No problem. You were a very good boy this year. Santa told me himself."

"He did?"

"Yeah, he said that you were one of the best kids this year."

"That's so cool." He said in amazement. Izzy came in with Hollei and Kalynn. She put Kalynn in her bouncer and she was holding Hollei.

"I got you a gift mommy and daddy!" Cam said and went to grab a small box.

"I made this in school."

"This is so awesome little man! Let's show daddy." I grabbed it and I gave a small chuckle.

"Cam's Rule for his Family." I read out loud.

"It's like a rule book like you and mommy had when you were younger." Cam spent some time playing with his toys and Izzy was feeding the girls as I read the book.

"Izzy, listen to this one."

"Always say I love you and always order pizza for dinner." I read.

"Well we always do the first one." She gave a small smile and I nodded.

"Thanks for giving me a chance Izzy. You didn't have to talk to me at the grocery store."

"I know but you deserved to know."

"I'm glad I do. You gave me everything I've ever wanted."

"We definitely fulfilled everything in our rule book." She said and blew me a kiss.

"Yeah…yeah we did." I replied as I remembered the last rule in our book.
