*Long Chapter*
G R A Y S O N
It's was Christmas Eve and Jean's family had just arrived in California but it would be about thirty minutes before they arrived at the house.
Kaleb was currently climbing all over the furniture as Quinn sat on the floor giggling at her older brother.
"Kaleb, quit running on the furniture!" I yelled from the kitchen.
"No!" Kaleb giggled as he continued running.
"Jean!" I yelled, "Come tame our child."
I was pulling the roast out of the oven as Jean came down.
"Kaleb, what did daddy say?" Jean asked. Kaleb suddently stopped running and smiled. He jumped off the couch and slowly walked to Jean. "Good job." Jean said as he held out his hand for a high five. Kaleb slapped his hand and at the last second Jean took his hand and pulled him into his arms as he began to tickle him.
I didn't understand why Jean was so much better with Kaleb than me.
I looked back at the things I had prepared and smiled. I think I did pretty well.
I started taking all the food to the dinning room table. Once I finally had everything set I walked into the living room where Kaleb was currently leaning against Jean as they watched cartoons.
I took Quinn from Jean's arms and took her upstairs to change her into a cuter out fit with less drool all over it.
Once I had gotten her changed I picked her up and made her smile and giggle with ease. Jean and I had learned, that out of the two of us, I was the only one that could get her to laugh.
I took her down stairs and looked at Kaleb, his shirt still had cheese stains from the mac and cheese I made him for lunch.
I smiled and looked at Jean, "Go change his clothes."
Jean looked at what Kaleb was wearing and smiled, "Okay. Come on Kaleb lets got change your clothes." Jean took Kaleb's hand and they walked up stairs. I smiled as I sat down on the couch, Quinn laying her head on my chest.
Both of us just getting a few more minutes of rest before Jean's family arrived.
About ten mintes after Jean came down with a clean dressed Kaleb, Jean's family arrived. Bear barked at the door as Jean and I got up to answer it.
Quinn was in my arms and Kaleb was right beside Jean as I opened the door.
Charlotte and Violetta were the first two that walked in, Basile and Celian were grabbing some of the luggage. Jean helped them carry their rings into the guest rooms. I sat down beside Charlotte and Violetta on the couch. Kaleb climbed on the couch beside me.
Charlotte smiled at Quinn, this was their first time to see Quinn, "Can I hold her?" Charlotte asked and I smiled and passed her over.
Once Celian, Basile and Jean came back down Kaleb ran into Celian's arms giggling uncontrollably as Celian tickled him.
Violetta stood and gave me a hug and we rotated, hugging everyone. I even hugged Basile even though I knew he hated it, along with every other form of physical contact besides a hand shake.
"Are y'all hungry?" I asked.
They all answered yes and we walked into the dinning room to eat the food that I had prepared.
Violetta decided that she wanted to feed Quinn as she ate so I moved Quinn's high chair next to her. Charlotte sat on the other side of Quinn, Jean sat at the head of the table, Basile at the opposite end. Kaleb sat down beside Jean and Celian beside Kaleb. Leaving me in between Basile and Celian.
We all dug in and caught up on what we missed since the last time we had seen each other.
Apparently Celian had a serious girlfriend finally and they had been dating for about six months now. Violetta and Arthur were doing good and Charlotte was doing good as well. As for Basile... well he was Basile, nothing had really changed.
When we had finished eating everyone went to the living room while I picked up. Charlotte came in and helped, "You don't need to help me." I smiled, "Go in there and socialize with your family, I'll be in there in a few minutes."
She looked back in the living room, they were all messing with Kaleb, Basile was casually sitting there watching, and then looked back at me, "I think I'd rather help you."
I smiled and we began washing dishes, "Besides, it's the least I can do for such an amazing meal." She complimented.
"Thank you." I smiled as I placed a few dishes in the dish washer.
Once we finished we walked into the living room and I saw Kaleb was currently trying to steal one of the presents from underneath the tree.
"Kaleb, you can't open anything until tomorrow."
His bottom lip popped out and I rolled my eyes as he began to pout. Jean saw this and called him over Jean said something to him and Kaleb ran and got one present out from under the tree and ran back and began to rip it open.
"Jean!" I looked at him, "I said no."
Celian and Violetta both said 'ooh' at the same time.
"It's just one, no harm is done with just one, I mean he has plenty of presents under the tree." Jean tried to reason.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever." I said sitting down by Violetta.
The present that Kaleb just so happened to open was a toy that he just had to have about a month ago when I took him to the store with me. He was so happy he ran up to me and wrapped his arms around my neck. Then he did the same with Jean and began to play with it.
"How about everyone gets to open one present?" Jean asked. They all looked at me, like I was the one who held the power, "Fine." I smiled.
"Basile, Celian. Go get all the presents that we brought from upstairs please." Charlotte said.
They took off upstairs and Jean got presents for them out from under the tree. He handed them to everyone. Celian passed out a gift to Jean and me and we all opened them.
Mine was an amazing photo that I had forgotten was taken. It was taken the last time we went to France. We all took a photo in front of the garden, it was like the first family photo, Kaleb was even in it.
But this one wasn't the original picture, I had that one in the hall. This one was when Celian and Basile were arguing about something petty, Violetta was trying to get them to stop while Charlotte yelled at all of them to stop, and Kaleb, Jean and I were all laughing when the picture was taken. It was perfect, by far my favorite picture ever.
I looked up and everyone liked the gifts that they got. I looked at Basile and he was smiling because of the gift Jean and I had given him.
We had given him a framed quote that said, Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth.
I knew it was kind of corny but when I saw it I immediately thought of Basile and I had to get it. I pulled out my phone and snapped a quick picture of him smiling before he went back to normal.
Basile saw me take the picture and I was surprised when he didn't go back to normal, "I saw that, thanks for the quote by the way."
I smiled, I think that was the most he had ever said to me, "No problem, I'm glad it made you smile."
I looked at Violetta and Charlotte, they loved their gifts, along with Célian.
I moved over to Jean and showed him the picture that I had gotten as a gift. I was definitely going to hang that picture in the hall.
Jean laughed, remembering that day just like I did.
After about an hour of hanging out, Quinn had fallen asleep in Célian's arms and Kaleb was falling asleep on the couch.
Célian walked up stairs with me to put Kaleb down for bed. I carried Kaleb up as Célian put Quinn in her crib.
Célian was amazing with kids, I was surprised along with everyone else when he got along so great with Kaleb and Quinn.
I laid Kaleb down in his bed and Célian tucked him in. I leaned against the door frame and smiled as Célian put him right back to sleep.
As we walked back down stairs I looked at him, "Your pretty good with kids, are you planning on having any?" I asked.
To my surprise he nodded, "I think I might."
I smiled and left the conversation at that as Jean came up to me and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed me and held me closer for a few more seconds, "Dinner was amazing, thank you for cooking baby." He kissed my forehead and we all sat on the couch and talked until we decided it was time for the adults to rest.
~*Christmas Day*~
I was woken up by someone jumping on my stomache. I groaned and rolled over, "Daddy!" Kaleb yelled.
My eyes opened as I sat up in bed. Célian stood at the foot of our bed, still in his pajamas, as he held Quinn in his arms and smiled wide, "It's Christmas!" He said cheerfully, lifting Quinn's arm in the air causing her to giggle.
I smiled and looked over at Jean. We climbed out of bed and Jean raced Kaleb down the stairs.
Once we got down there Violetta, Charlotte and Basile were all waiting on the couch.
Kaleb had a pile of presents in the middle of the room and Quinn even had her own presents to open, or try to at that.
Kaleb immediately started ripping open his presents as Violetta helped Quinn open her's. I was taking photo's of everyone opening gifts. I didn't even realize Jean was standing infront of me holding a small present box until my camera focused on him.
I put down the camera and smiled at him. He handed me the box and I looked up at him, "What did you get me?" I asked suspiciously. He had already gotten me everything that I could need or want, what else did he have up his sleeve.
He sat down beside me and smiled, "Open it and see."
I carefully untied the ribbon on the box and then lifted the top off. I then moved the tissue paper out of the way to reveal a watch.
It was an amazing watch and I instantly pulled it out and slid it on. It was a thick gold watch with a marble background and elegant hour and minute hands pointing to the numbers.
I had been wanting a watch for a while now but I had just been too lazy to get one or I would talk myself out of it. I had just always liked having a watch so I didn't have to look at my phone for the time.
Especially since Kaleb had my phone most of the time, I didn't have my phone handy to tell me what time it was.
I smiled up at Jean, "It's amazing, thank you." I looked down at the watch and back up at Jean I wrapped my arms around Jean's neck and pecked his lips.
"Your welcome." He smiled sitting down beside me. I picked my camera back up and finished snapping the last photos of Kaleb opening his presents and Violetta and Quinn now playing with the mini xylophone, that she got for Christmas.
Célian began to play with Kaleb as Basile, Charlotte, Jean and I picked up all the wrapping paper that was thrown on the floor.
After that I sat down beside Jean and leaned against him as he wrapped his arm around me. We just watched as our children played with their aunt and uncle.
Quinn was a giggling mess as Violetta continued to play the xylophone, Kaleb was running around the couch as Célian chased him and Basile and Charlotte sat beside us, drinking coffee I didn't even know they made.
I loved moments like these. When they were just so perfect you didn't want them to end. But eventually Quinn woukd cry when she got hungry and I would have to feed her and then Kaleb would pass out on the couch and Jean's family would have to leave.
But I would give it another hour before those things started happening.
Jean kissed the side of my head, "I love you." He whispered to me.
"I love you too." I smiled.
It's officially over, My French Billionaire is now completed. Don't think I'll make a sequel, sorry for those of you that wanted one. But I may or may not randomly add short chapters about Jean and Grayson in the future ;)
I'm a little sad that it's over, I'm going to miss all of y'alls amazing comments and awesome support.
I love you! â¤
