Aubree had a way of talking about things that always put Nate's wandering mind at ease. Was he good enough for her? He didn't think so, but she always told him she loved him, chose him, and even in their joking, always made him feel like he was her home— just like she was his. Was Maya being taken care of, were his girls getting everything they needed? Though he'd never thought about that from a meal perspective, it was clearly a moot point. With a sleepy chuckle that only made his voice deeper, "Yeah, gonna make sure my wife's all taken care of and comfy." He pressed his lips to the top of her head but moments later he was laughing, "You're going to smack me for this but now all I can think about is your cookies." Nate kissed the top of her head and only let go of her hand when they walked inside to a wild Maya.

He leaned against the wall, watching them giggle and greet each other. Nate loved these little moments, burning them into his brain as proof that he had the life he'd always wanted. With a big grin he kicked off his shoes and opened his arms for Maya. "Well, we better make it a short story because Santa's a busy guy. We can't expect him and the reindeer to double back because your pretty face was still up. Reaching for Aubree he kissed her and leaned Maya in to do the same. "You want to change and wait for me in the living room or do you want to come join us? I'm thinking Le Sapin de monsieur Jacobi, what do you think, Princess?"

"Now now, your sister isn't totally my type." She teased but in all honesty she didn't have eyes for anyone but her husband. "Oh Maya is so going to tell this little one how to sweeten up the chef I wouldn't expect anything else for kids. They have to go through that, although the chef is good about hiding the things Maya doesn't like so she at least gets the nutrients." Aubree was appreciative of it. When Nate's hands stopped she let her legs drop and instead curled up to his side.

"Oh I love the thought of cozing up with some music on. You going to wrap your arms around me? Because then I'll be in. She's going to love it, but no. Nothing special the night before, I couldn't afford much before, and so we saved it all to make christmas extra special. The most we did was eat some of the cookies." She smiled and smirked a bit. "That sounds cute, what present are you going to beg for tonight then?" Aubree questioned pulling away when they pulled up to the house. Climbing out of the car she smiled as she caught Maya running to her. "What are you still doing up sweet babe? You waiting for santa? You know he won't come if you are awake. You'll scare the reindeer away." She said tickling her daughter as they walked inside. Maya pouted. "I wanted a story from Nate." She replied and Aubree laughed softly. "I'm sure we can manage a story?" She looked at her husband.

Though Bree insisted they didn't need a lower bed, Nathaniel had already added it to a mental checklist of potential changes to make life easier for his wife. He hadn't thought much about a lot of things of this sort as a 6'1 bachelor, already changing a lot around the house to make it more safe and homey for Maya. He hummed as Aubree's palms slipped under his shirt and he rolled her over gently, trapping her under his weight with a chuckle. "That's not playing fair, Bree." His blue eyes looked down at her, lust blown but still laughing. "My funny girl. Always picking on me." With a wink he leaned in and kissed her, soft and then a little more rough. His thigh, which he'd wedged between hers when he rolled her over now pressed against her center. "So, how tired is my teasing wife? She got plans tonight?" With a raised eyebrow, Nate's eyes raked down her small frame beneath him. She could butter him up all she wanted, Nate really never knew how he'd deserve Aubree or Maya, but he was happy to spend every day spoiling them and showering them with his love and attention.
