Christmas/New Years #8

A/N - I am currently in the year 2022 for this story  

General POV

1. Ezria

With Christmas fast approaching Aria and Ezra were busy decorating the house. Malcolm and Jayde decided to bake cookies together. Katie and Leo were both taking their afternoon naps.

"It's our 1st Christmas." Ezra said

"Technically not our 1st one but whatever you want to say." Aria said

"I meant 1st Christmas as a married couple." Ezra said

"True and 1st new years as a married couple." Aria said

"Have you given anymore thought into having another baby?" Ezra asked

"I did but I still feel the same way. I know Malcolm's a teenager but I feel with 4 kids between the two of us that is enough." Aria said

"I understand and as a matter of fact, I am starting to see things your way now." Ezra said

"It's not that having another kid is a bad thing but I don't think it's a good idea for us and this family." Aria said

Then they heard a loud noise from the kitchen. Jayde had dropped an entire tray of cookies on the floor. Once the cookies were thrown away they started to make another batch of cookies but this time with more help.

"I'm sorry." Jayde said

"No apologies needed, we know it was an accident." Aria said

 "It was kind of my fault because I asked her to move the cookies so we could put the next batch on the cooling rack when I should have moved them myself." Malcolm said

"There is no need to take the blame for this because it was nobody fault." Ezra said

It wasn't long before the ingredients to make cookies were all used up.

"What are we going to do with all these cookies?" Malcolm asked

"We eat most of them but leave a plate for Santa." Jayde said

"Santa isn't a real person." Malcolm said

"He is real, I have pictures with him at the mall." Jayde said

"The mall Santa is someone who gets paid to dress up and make kids happy." Malcolm said

"Then what about the Santa that brings all the presents and leaves them under the tree?" Jayde asked

"That's just mom and dad who wait until we are sleeping before putting the presents under the tree." Malcolm said

"You said mom." Aria said

"You are Jayde's mom." Malcolm said

"You said mom in a way that made it seem like Aria is your mom." Ezra said

"I don't know why I said it that way but is it ok to keep saying that?" Malcolm asked

"Yes, even though you and I are not blood related I would like to think of you as a son if that's ok with you." Aria said

  "Can we send some cookies to uncle Wesley?" Jayde asked

"I think the cookie would go bad before it got to Australia but when he gets back to Rosewood you can make him more cookies." Ezra said

"What about Uncle Mike?" Jayde asked

"Possibly if we send the cookies with overnight shipping." Aria said
