Chapter 10

It's the most wonderful time of the year....

I heard the radio singing. And the whole family can't wait for Christmas we're gonna have countdown and cherishing every moments when the baldwin use to have unforgettable moments like this.

"Mom, I can't wait for Christmas." I said to mommy hugging her from the side.

"Me too honey." Mommy said and I saw dad placing gifts at the Christmas Tree. This is really the most special holiday for me............

3, 2, 1! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Ohh It's already Christmas! time of giving and sharing love and forgiving to everyone well it should be everyday hobby of everyone not just on Christmas. We ate already and no phones can interrupt the Baldwins.

"How was LA Hailey?" Ireland asked me. While everyone was eating and our parents talking about their throwbacks well it was funny and this home is so full of tender love.

"Great as always" I chuckled and we talk bunch of girly stuffs. After we took our dinner I went to the couch which was the kids were playing there. I'm so happy seeing them I just love everyone here.

"Can someone please hug me?" I asked the kids like a 2 year old begging but then I I grinned at them.

"Haiwey!!!" They said and hugged me so tightly awe it's just so cute and really feels so good, I love kid's so much.

"Can we go to the mall again?" Leigh asked me well I remember the last time we went there. That was few months ago and last christmas we went there also.

"In one condition" I pouted at them then they raised their eyebrows. "What is it?" They all said and I chuckled.

"You go to sleep already and tomorrow morning we're going there" I grinned at them and they put their hands at their head saying "Okay" After that, there are no kids playing around the house, I guess they're sleeping already.

"Hails" Ireland mumbled.

"Yes?" I asked her and she smirked at me.

"I know where to go right now" She said and geez Ireland has a plan again and I know this is gonna be exciting.

"Let's go?" I asked her well I probably get what she means from that smirk. Ireland quickly pick up her keys and she drove the car going to the famous party house here in New York. As we got there, there were lots of people I guess almost of them are already drunk and we went to her friends. Well I actually know them. We've been partying and dancing all night.

• • • • •

"Hailey! Wake Up! Wake Up!" I heard the kids and they keep shaking my body so I'll be up but then I groan. Damn I have an headache! But I promise to the kids i'll be bringing  them to the mall.

"Addie, can you tell them give me more 2 hours please. And we're going to the mall already I promise. I still have an headache" I groaned.

"Alright we'll be waiting for you" Addie said and they leaved the room already. And I glance at the clock seeing it's 9 in the morning already. I guess we got home already around 5 am earlier.

"Ugh!" I put my hands to my head still having headache and seeing the time it's already 11 so I forcefully get up of my bed and I take my shower. I wore leather leggings, sweatshirt and a jacket. It's gonna be so cold out there. I just apply face powder and I hang my satchel bag onto my shoulders and I go downstairs already seeing the kids waiting at the couch.

"Merry Christmas!" I grinned at them and they were watching television. They also greeted me and I hugged my mom so much.

"We've been waiting here for almost an hours" Leigh said crossing her arms and I chuckled and I kissed her on the forehead.

"Guys, we'll be back before dinner" I said to my parents and uncles and they said "alright" "take care" I snatched the key of my car from the desk as the kids following me. I slide to the drivers seat and Leigh sat at the passenger seat while the other 3 was at the back seat. I put my bag into the dashboard and started the ignition so we can finally go to the Mall.

"So we're here!" I said to the kids excitedly.

"Yay!" The kids said and we all jumped out of the car already. They were running getting inside and please I don't want to panic here. "hey hey wait for me!" I hold their hands as we walk or else they'll be lost and there are mass of people here since it's Christmas. It's so lovely to be here, people greeting you and smiling broadly at you I just really really love Christmas. We went to a restaurant first to have our lunch and the kids talking to each others when my phone rings. Seeing Justin calling me so I answered it.

"Hello"

"Hey Hailey! Merry Christmas baby" i chuckled when he said "baby"

"I'm not a baby! juju Merry Christmas too"

"Hope you're having a great day right now"

"Well I'm here in the mall with a 4 lovely kids"

"That's cute. I'm here spending my Christmas with the family"

"I'm happy for you"

"Okay hails I'll call you back later"

"Okay bye!" I turned off my phone already and put it inside my bag, so finally our food is here. We took our lunch and we almost spent 1 hour there and I go to the kids on their favorite play store. We're finally at the counter about to pay their stuffs when I figure out Ellie wasn't there.

"Ohh where's Ellie?" I asked the kids while paying to the counter. My heart is besting faster oh my goodness where is she?!

"We don't know." They responded. And I started to panic. "Miss, Please look out for these kids" I said to the cashier then she nodded. I quicly ran to find Ellie at the toys store which is actually huge. And I found her at the keychains hack.

"Ellie! Where did you go?" I asked Ellie cupping her chin and I kissed her on the forehead. Thanks God she's safe.

"Uhm I have something for you Hails" Ellie said and she give me a cute little keychain dove.

"Ohh this is so cute my dear." I said to Ellie and I hugged her well she's just a four year old girl with a blond curly hair and she's kinda fatty too and she's a white Australian.

"You're welcome" She responded and I hold her hands to get back on the counter seeing them eating chocolates and I chuckled. I finally pay for their toys and put them on the cart. And now we went to the grocery to buy chocolates and for my personal thingy thingy. As we finish going to buy for groceries we already took our lunch at the Resto... uhm nice choice... Resto

I chuckled and we already get inside. It's really christmas as we greet everyone, sharing smile to everyone, being kind to everyone ugh this is such a pleasure to be here while the kids busy on their iPads playing. I have no gadgets or anything when I was at their age. And back when I was at their age like this time having a dinner with my fam I need to go look for kids like me so i could play with him or her. See? I'm a surreal friendly

I drove the car and a huge traffic banging in the streets since it's Christmas but everyone is so lovely I hope everyone is doing great right now spending their Christmas with their love ones.

"We're here!" I shouted excitedly as we enter the house with our shopping bags. We made our way to the kitchen seeing everyone having their late lunch I guess well it's already 2 in the afternoon.

"Hails, when are you going back to LA?" Alaiah (the loveliest sister I ever have) asked me and flinched my eyebrows.

"The day after tomorrow. Why?" I asked her with my furrowed brows.

"Nothing, Justin asked me. I even told him to call you but then he said you're busy so yeah he asked me" She winked and I chuckled. We don't have a family photo yet so I guess... I quickly went upstairs to get my camera and put the lace around my neck as I go downstairs.

"Baldwins! Let's have a Christmas Photo for this lovely year!" I raised my voice with a smile and raising up the camera. And they all looked at me as I grin.

"That's great!" Ireland said excitedly and they look at the camera and I started to count . "3,2,1" I counted and ping!

"Well I'm totally jealous" I gritted my teeth.

"Hails you give the camera to granny Ell so that you can join us in the picture" Uncle Alec said. Granny Ell is the nanny of my uncle alec, my dad and so on since they were a kids and until now she's still serving the Baldwin Family since she doesn't have family anymore because she hadn't got a chance to have her own family because she choose the baldwin family over her own happiness. And since then we treat her as a family that's why we call her as Granny Ell she's mid 70 already.

"Merry Christmas! Granny Ell" I greeted her as I gave the camera to her and I receive her greeting too. I went to my seat and tadaaaaah! A 2016 Christmas Picture with the Baldwins.

Finally!!!...... It's time for opening our gifts. I'm so excited really excited! I love presents although I don't know what the difference between surprises and gifts because I hate surprises but I do love gifts but then I'm gonna be surprise if what's the inside of the gift. So yeah.....confusing.

"So who will be the one to open their gifts?" Uncle Daniel asked and we all look at each others.

"I volunteer!" I shouted and there are bunch of presents so I guess I have more than 1 here. So I look for my present and —yes! I got 5 gifts. I opened the first which is from my Uncle Alex and it's such a beautiful leather jacket. And I thanked him. The next one was from Ireland opening it and seeing a Victoria Secret lingerie I chuckled as I receive it and I mouthed her "it's sexy".

The third one is from My Mom and it looks cute because it's so small. I dont know if this is a jewelry but really I don't have idea. I ripped it and seeing a lipstick box wow! This is the most latest and expensive liquid lipstick! so I opened it again and there's a cute ribbon on it tied on the liquid lipstick.

"Mom, i really do appreciate this." I said and she smiled giving me a blow kiss. The 4th one is from Kenny my dearest best friend but how did her present got here when she's even at California. But never mind she'll do lots of ways just for me to be happy. I opened it and seeing a gold necklace with a "baldwin" carved on the pendant. It's so beautiful.

And the last one is from my Dad. It's on a large box actually. I think this is a bag but it wasn't heavy and so I guess still a bag. As I opened it, it was all styrofoam and there's a medium box on the middle. It actually made me laugh opening it and seeing a crown. I almost drop my jaw because he gave me a little crown and I look at Dad with a confuse look.

"A crown for my Princess" Daddy said and I almost wanna year up but then I hugged him as tight as I can because I'm really a daddy's girl.

"Thank you Dad!"I said and they all look at me with a sweet look.
