�Happy Anniversary.� Michael whispered in his wife�s ear as he pulled her closer to himself as he tucked their blankets around them.

�Michael, honey our anniversary is in June.� She said softly as she returned his kiss eagerly.

Michael pulled back and smirked at her. �You know what anniversary I�m talking about.�

Smiling she teased. �The anniversary were you almost slept with the whore we all know and despised called Courtney.�

�Very funny.� He said as began to nibble on her neck.

�Oh that anniversary.� She cooed as she felt Michael slip his fingers under her panties and rub her clit gently.

�Yup, it�s been ten years since you finally admitted that you were hopelessly and completely in love with me.� He moaned in her ear.

�Un hun.� She said as she wiggled around next to him causing him to hiss as his c-ock leaped in response.

�Oh Michael, that feels so good.� Maria purred happily as her slid his middle finger into her slit.

�S-hit Maria.� Michael said as he felt her hand slid down and stroked his c-ock when suddenly a 40 pound bundle of pure energy came bouncing into the room. �Mommy, Mommy look at the picture I drew for Santa.� Five year old Hannah Guerin gushed proudly.

�Oh, let me see it Hannah Banana.� Maria said to her youngest daughter as she got up from bed, distracting her little girl long enough so that he could slip on some pants.
�That is a beautiful picture Piglet.� She told her little girl who was snuggled up against her, with her ear pressed against Maria bulging stomach.

�Daddy I can feel Lucas and Matthew playing in Mommy�s tummy.� She said with a big grin.

�You can. Let me see.� Michael said as he came over and placed his hand over Maria belly. �Yup, I can feel them too. They must be awfully happy because tonight Santa�s coming.� He teased his youngest little girl as he swung her up into his arms, giving her a loud smacking kiss on the cheek.

�Hey Piglet, are Emma, Sarah and Becky up yet?� She asked.

�Kinda, they said they were wrapping you and Daddy�s present and told me I had to leave because I couldn�t see it. They said I was still a baby and that if I saw it I would blab and tell you what it is. But that aint true Mommy, I wouldn�t have told you.� She explained as she rubbed her father�s ear.

�Oh.� Maria said as she watched her baby girl. All her children were so intelligent. She knew that most five year olds wouldn�t have gotten all that out at once without having to stop a few times.

Maria went over and to the fireplace and looked at all the pictures of her family. Their were several of Michael and her with the girls, a few of Peter and Karen and their sons and a few of Marc and Carrie and their son.

There was the picture from when Michael was named Sheriff after John had retired earlier in the year. Smiling she remembered how nervous he looked as they all watched him being sworn in. When Peter had left the department to become a lawyer Michael became the senior deputy and logical replacement.

She grinned when she looked at the pictured taken two years ago at John�s and Jeanie�s wedding. She remembered how everyone was wondering how long it would take those two to get hitched. They hadn�t really known each other and only got close since her and Michael had come to the island.

John was around ten years older than Jeanie and knew her late husband Nick. He remembered that Peter was in high school when Nick was killed while working as a construction worker and watched as Jeanie worked to support her two young sons.

�Honey, your tired. I�ll get the girls breakfast why don�t you get back into bed and rest.� Michael said as he placed Hannah down. �Piglet, you go and let the your sisters to hurry up with their wrapping and then come downstairs to eat.�

�Ok Daddy.� His little pixie shouted happily as she hopped out of her parents room.

�Thanks babe. I am kinda tired.� She admitted as she went back to bed, Michael close on her heels. No sooner had Maria snuggled into bed than he was snuggling up against her nuzzling his nose in her hair.

�Um Michael, you actually have to go downstairs to make the kids breakfast.� Maria told him as she giggled as he began to kiss her neck.

�Yeah, but it will take them a while to finish with the gift.� He told her as he ran his hand up and caressed one of her breasts.

�Michael.� Maria moaned, sighing as she reached up and pulled his hand away. �Go make the girls breakfast. I can�t believe you would let your own children go hungry so that you could get some.� She teased him as she turned and kissed him.

�Not my fault I get turned on by pregnant women.� He told her as he kissed her one last time and got up, heading towards the door.

He stopped when he heard her laughing. �I guess I should warn Karen and Carrie about you. Since they�re pregnant and all.�

�Nah, there�s only one pregnant woman who does it for me.� He told her as he winked at her before heading downstairs.

�And it better stay that way BUSTER.� She shouted out as she smiled and closed her eyes, soon drifting off to sleep.

*****************************

�Morning Daddy.� Sarah and Becky said together as they came running into the kitchen.

�Morning Peanut. Morning Peaches.� He said as he gave his girls a glass of juice and a kiss on their forehead.

He turned in time to see Emma and Hannah come into the kitchen and join them. �Morning Dad. Where�s Mom?� Emma asked as she went over and kissed her father.

�Hey Pumpkin, Mom�s tired so I�m making breakfast.� He told her as he went over and helped Hannah pick out her cereal.

�Daddy, can I have pancakes?� Sarah asked hopefully.

�Sure Peanut, do the rest of you want pancakes.� He asked, silently praying they would say yes.

�No Daddy I want scrambled eggs, please.� Becky requested as she poured herself some cereal too.

�Actually Dad, I�m gonna have a bagel and some fruit.� Emma told him as she went over to the breadbox and took out the bagels Maria had bought yesterday.

�Alright, Em you can make that by yourself. Peaches I�ll cook your eggs in a minute. Piglet what do you want besides the cereal?� He asked as he began to stir the pancake batter.

�Just cereal.� She said as she went to reach for the milk to pour over her bowl.

�Pumpkin, please help your sister with the milk. Sweetie you need to eat more than that cereal. How about some fruit like Emma and a half of bagel.� He tried to reason with her as he started to pour the batter onto the griddle.

Hannah looked at her cereal and at Emma as she started to pour the milk. �Nuff Em, no more milk.�

�Hey there I didn�t hear a thank you or anything.� Michael reprimanded his youngest as he flipped the pancakes over to cook on the other side.

�Thank you Emma.� Hannah said as she began to eat her breakfast.

�Dad, should I just make her a bagel and get her some fruit?� His eldest asked as she went the fridge and pulled out the bowl of cut up melon.

Michael looked at his daughter and then turned his attention to his youngest. �Hannah, you didn�t answer Daddy. Do you want what Em�s having?�

�My tummy isn�t that hungry Daddy.� She said around a mouthful of Golden Grahams.

Michael shook his head and flipped the pancakes onto a plate for Sarah. �Peanut your pancakes are ready. Becky baby I�m gonna make you your eggs, do you want cheese in them?�

�Yes Daddy.� Becky said as she eat the rest of her cereal. Sharing a smile with her twin when she joined her at the table.

�I�m all done Daddy.� Hannah told him proudly.

�Dad she only ate half her cereal and she didn�t drink any of her milk.� Emma told him as she looked at her little sister.

�Tattletale.� Hannah shouted as she stuck her tongue out at her.

�Hannah Ruth Guerin. No name calling at the table. Emma your bagel just popped, why don�t you go and butter it while it�s still warm. Becky your eggs are all done sweetie.� Michael said as he held his hand over the eggs, cooking them faster before placing them on a plate for her.

�Thank you Daddy.� Becky said as he placed the plate in front of her before looking over at the half eaten cereal.

�Piglet eat the rest of your cereal.� He ordered her gently as he knelt down next to her.

�My tummy�s not that hungry Daddy, honest.� She cried softly as she laid her head on his shoulder.

Michael looked at his little girl for a second and then placed his finger under her chin urging her to look him in the eyes. �Does you tummy hurt?� He asked as he felt her forehead to see if she was running a temperature.

�No Daddy, it�s just not hungry.� She said as she crawled out of her chair and into her father�s arms.

�Alright, but that means your tummy isn�t going to be hungry in ten minutes for any of the chocolates that Grandpa and Grandma Jeanie brought last night. You have to eat some toast or something before you can have any sweets.� He told her as he rocked her in his arms, smiling at his other daughters as he stood and sat in the now vacant chair.

�Dad do you want me to make you something?� Emma asked as she began to take a bite from her bagel.

�That�s ok Pumpkin, I�ll make something for me and Mom late. You just eat your breakfast. So is everyone all excited that Santa�s coming tonight?� He asked, wincing as his three youngest cheered and said yes. He turned and saw his oldest smirk and shake her head at her little sisters.

Seeing that made Michael sad. This year Emma had come to him and Maria and told them she knew that they were Santa. They had a long talk and Emma knew she wasn�t allowed to tell the others. Maria still clung to the hope that she was saying this because the kids in school were telling her and that maybe deep down she still believed.

Michael was laughing as the twins and Emma told him stories about their school parties when he realized that Hannah had fallen asleep in his arms. �Ok girls, finish your breakfast when your done go and get washed and dressed. I guess she didn�t get enough sleep so I�m gonna put her back in bed and check on Mommy to see if she�s hungry.�

Michael got up and carried Hannah upstairs, walking into the additional bedroom they had built after Ruthie had passed away and tucked her back into bed. Michael and Maria had decided with the boys on their way that Emma and Hannah would share the spare room, Becky and Sarah the other room and the boys would share a room.

Now he rethought this decision. Hannah and Emma didn�t seem to be getting along now a days and Michael had a sneaky suspicion Emma was keeping Hannah up at night. Emma had changed so much this past year. Stop believing in Santa, starting to call him Dad and Maria Mom. He knew it was silly but he missed hearing her calling them Daddy and Mommy, it meant she was starting to grow up.

He finished tucking his little pixie in bed and kissed her forehead before heading into his and Maria�s room. He smiled as he watched his wife sleeping, her hand idly rubbing her stomach where their sons rested. He walked over and knelt down next to her, running his fingers down her cheek, causing her to stir.

�Hey, I just came to see if you were hungry.� He whispered to her.

Maria yawned and smiled at him. �I could eat. How would you feel about making me some French toast, bacon and some fruit.�

�Sure, I just got done feeding the girls. Let me clean up their mess and then I�ll make your breakfast. Go back to sleep and I�ll send one of the girls to come and get you.� He told her softly as he kissed her on her forehead before getting up and going back downstairs.

*****************************

Maria started to nod off again when she heard the soft footsteps coming into the room. She didn�t need to open her eyes to know it was her Hannah and didn�t say anything as her baby crawled into bed with her.

�Momma.� She asked in the softest of baby voices. �Momma, I�m gonna sleep in here with you, Lucas and Matthew.� She explained as she snuggled under the covers and scooted over as close as possible to Maria, rubbing her tiny hand on her mother�s tummy.

Maria smiled to herself. She loved when the kids called her Momma, it didn�t happen very often anymore. Only Hannah still did it when she was sleepy or scared. She decided to leave her daughter alone and let her fall asleep but had to bite her tongue when she heard her starting to talk to the babies.

�Hi Lucas and Matthew, it�s me your big sister Hannah. Daddy brought me upstairs to go back to bed and I had a dream about you. About you, Christine and Jenna and when the four of you grow up and get married like Mommy and Daddy. The same that Josh and Emma, Becky and Thomas, Sarah and Dylan are all destined to be together. I�m gonna be with Zach, which isn�t too bad, because I kinda like him and he isn�t all mean and nasty like some boys. It won�t be bad, we�ll all be happy.� She said as she yawned and closed her eyes, falling back to sleep.

Maria�s flew open when Hannah finished talking. �Are all destined to be together.� What did that mean? Maria knew her children all had powers and that some were stronger than others. Emma could heal better than the others, Becky and Sarah both were outstanding at moving objects and levitating things but Hannah seemed to be able to see things before they happened, similar to Michael�s flashes.

She thought about what Hannah had said. It kinda made sense, here she was pregnant for the first time with boys and her two best friends were pregnant with daughters. Also she thought back about how the children were all born around the same time. The only ones that had any significant difference in age was Josh and Emma and even then if was only seventeen months between them.

Thinking about it she also realized that the other kids all seemed to excel in different ways. All were intelligent beyond their years. The boys were just as intense as the girls were. Many a day Maria had come across either Becky with Thomas or Sarah with Dylan and thought that they were communicating without speaking. She had grown accustomed to the twins doing this but she never understood how the boys were able to do it as well.

Emma and Josh were beyond close. When Emma started school and a few boys made fun of her Josh immediately became her protector. Thinking more about it he was always her protector. That Christmas eve nine years ago when he fell it was because Emma woke up and needed to be changed and Josh came looking for Maria to help her. She remembered Michael telling her that later. That he saw Josh looking at their daughter and patted her head with his baby hand before he left to find Emma�s Momma.

Maria was pulled out of her thoughts as her other three daughters came in to the room. �Mom, Dad said your breakfast is almost ready. We came up to get dressed and Dad said we could go and play with the boys.� Emma said as she went over and looked at her baby sister.

�Ok Pumpkin, but you guys didn�t take a bath last night so could you please run a bath and the three of you can take one together. Emma is in charge.� Maria said as she got out of bed and wrapped her �pregnancy� terrycloth robe around herself.

�Mom, I�m too big to take a bath with the them.� Emma whined.

�I know sweetie, but please Mom�s tired and Dad�s busy so could you please just take a bath with your sisters and make sure they don�t splash too much water all over the place. Hannah took one last night before bed so she�s all set.� She reasoned with her daughter, pleased when she saw her shake her head and head out into the bathroom. �No using your powers while your in there.� She ordered as she headed down the stairs to join Michael.

�Hey, what was that all about?� Michael asked as he placed Maria breakfast in front of her before sitting down with his own.

�Oh Emma and the twins are taking a bath together, I was just reminding them not to use their powers.� She said as she took a bite of her French toast.

Michael shook his head in agreement and began to dig into his own breakfast. Maria watched him for a few minutes contemplating about telling him about what Hannah had said to the babies and her own theories on the subject.

After a few seconds Maria placed her fork down and reached across the table and took Michael�s hand into hers. �Michael I think we need to talk about something.� She said as she smiled and began to tell him everything.
