Alfred had finished setting up and decorating the tree with the kids and had decorated everything to perfection. all six of their stockings were hung by the fireplace and there were a few early presents nestled under the tree. their two cats Benjiman and Adrian were snuggled together laying in front of the fireplace. he smiled, this was going to be a perfect Christmas.

"yes I did Duckling. also is it inappropriate to have alcohol at a baby's first Christmas?" Alfred asked as he walked out of the kitchen holding a bottle of vodka in one hand and their daughter Andra in his other.

"I wanna say yes but I know my dad will demand it so one bottle is fine. did you get that from Nova?" Rigby asked as he quickly grabbed Andra before he dropped her. 

"yeah, it was her and Jaxon's Christmas gift to us. That and the house." Alfred chuckled as he set the bottle down and grabbed a few glasses.

"I swear that girl shows so little emotion but spends all her time doing amazing things for people." Rigby smiled as Andra squirmed in his arms. 

"When are grandpa and pepaw getting here!" Milo cried out with excitement as he ran into the room his older brothers following him.

"Soon Milo! They should be here any minute now!" Alfred said as he swung Milo into his arms and spun him around the room. 

"that's still too long for him." Cooper laughed as Milo stuck his tongue out at him.

"They'll be here soon enough, besides this is their first time seeing little Andra," Rigby said as he gently swayed her in his arms. 

"It's hard to believe it's been that long since we've last seen them. I was about 13 then? maybe 14?" Victor said as he sat down on the couch.

"Hey it's not been that long you're only 16," Alfred said as he ruffled Victor's hair.

"that's at least two years pops." Victor chuckled as he fixed his hair. 

"I know how to count.. sometimes," Alfred said as he set Milo on his feet and gently took Andra from Rigby. 

"remember the time he lost me in the store because he forgot there were four of us?" Cooper giggled as Rigby shook his head at the memory.

"hey, you were only missing for about fifteen minutes and I never left the store without you!" Alfred said trying to defend himself.

"Enough you two." Rigby chuckled as a knock sounded through the house.

"I'll go get the door," Rigby said as he left Alfred in the living room with the kids.

"Merry Christmas Redford!" Korey chuckled as he burst into the house immediately pulling Rigby into a rough hug.

"now really Korey, let the kid breathe and help me with these." Elias sighed playfully as he tried to make his way into the house his arms full of gifts.

"dad I told you not to get too many gifts," Rigby said as he helped Elias bring them inside.

"It's my grandbaby's first Christmas I'm not having it be ruined because she got too few presents." Korey laughed as he took off his shoes and coat.

"grandpa!" Milo shouted as they walked into the living room and he barreled into Korey.

"easy buddy! let's not kill any old folks on the holidays." Korey chuckled as he pats Milo's head.

"look how big you've all gotten! I can tell your going to be taller than your father one day Vic." Korey said giving all of the boys a hug.

"Which one?" Alfred chuckled as Victor laughed and rolled his eyes.

"and there's the little star of the tree," Elias said as he walked over to Alfred.

"yup, she's ready to party," Alfred said as he bounced Andra to make it look like she was dancing as she let out a happy little squeal.

"hold her pepaw! she's all squirmy!" Milo said as Elias sighed. 

"I can't believe you convinced them to call me that." Elias sighed as he gently took Andra from Alfred's arms

"well, blame Cooper he called you that first and it just stuck," Alfred said as Cooper laughed.

"he's definitely Alfred's son." Rigby chuckled as he ruffled Copper's hair.

Even though they were all adopted their kids defiantly took after them. Cooper was basically a spitting image of Alfred behavior-wise, and Victor was like him, Andra it was too young to tell but Rigby could see she was more attached to Alfred. however, Milo was his own chaotic whirlwind combination of them both. he loved them all more than anything in the world, they might not be related biologically but he loved them more than he ever thought he could.

"Oh, she's beautiful!" Korey said as he gently took Andra from Elias.

"It's been so long since I've held a baby and your just the cuties little thing I've ever seen." Korey cooed as he rocked Andra in his arms.

"My husband was snatched away from me by a baby. who would have guessed." Elias joked as Korey completely ignored all of them giving all of his attention to little Andra.

"She's going to be so spoiled. Especially by Korey." Alfred laughed as Rigby lightly hit him in the arm.

"Well obviously, she's the only girl in a household full of all guys. of course, she's gonna get spoiled." Victor chuckled as he joined their conversation. 

"she deserves to be spoiled as well as all of you kids," Elias said gesturing to the now giant pile of presents under the tree.

"Hot Damn!" Cooper cried out as Rigby quickly scolded him for his language.

He really needed to find a way to keep Alfred and the others from teaching him those words. especially Alfred, he loved him but man did he have a mouth on him.

"how about instead of talking about how spoiled we're gonna make you, we open those presents!" Alfred said as the kids ran over to the pile and began tearing into the assorted gifts.

"Merry Christmas duckling," Alfred whispered as he gently kissed him and pulled him down on the couch next to him.

"Merry Christmas Beanie bear." Rigby giggled as he pulled him in for another kiss.

He had gotten his Christmas wish long ago. on that fateful day Alfred had pulled him out of that locker. That was the moment that started it all. It led him to this wonderful happy moment full of joy and love, with the person he loved the most. 

"Ew gross!" Milo laughed as Alfred smirked and pulled Rigby in for a harder sloppier kiss.

"come on pops there are babies around." Victor laughed as Andra squealed with laughter.

"how do you think babies are made?" Alfred laughed as Rigby's face went bright red.

"Not like that pops, not like that." Victor laughed as Cooper and Milo gave everyone a confused look.

"enough talk about that, lets break out the alcohol," Korey said as Elias just shook his head.

"is that all you think about?" Elias chucked as Korey opened his mouth to make a smart remark and Elias Quickly covered his mouth.

"rhetorical question love, don't answer that for the sake of all the children." Elias chuckled.

Rigby snuggled closer to Alfred and Korey quickly opened the bottle of vodka, this really was the perfect Christmas. maybe not what he had originally planned but in the end, as long as he had his family it was perfect.

Merry Christmas from the entire Reynolds family and Matthew's family!
