Merry Liddle Christmas Baby

How is it possible

the holidays are already here again?

Time flies, as they say,

but when I look back over the past two years,

it's been the happiest time of my life.

From our merry little wedding,

to our honeymoon in Bali,

to buying our new house,

and making it a home.

Being a step‐mom to Coco and Josh

has been a journey and a joy,

and my merger with Queen of the Castle

has totally taken off,

and we're going international in the new year,

and Tyler is opening another restaurant

in just 11 days,

so there's a lot going on...

...and even more to look forward to.

Cute!

Babe!

What are you doing up there?

I'm coming!

That's so sweet.

Look at this ornament Josh made for the baby.

Wasn't that sweet?

They're both so excited

to have a baby sister.

You mean baby brother.

Oh, is that what I mean, huh?

I want our Christmas to be just like this...

peaceful...

and relaxed.

That sounds good to me.

I mean, don't get me wrong,

I'm looking forward to seeing my family.

I'm just glad they got their own place this year.

Comment ça va, Ernestine?

Mon bébé, mon coeur, ma fleur.

What did you call him?

Ernestine.

It's the female for "Ernest".

Definitely not!

You love that name, don't you, baby?

No, he doesn't.

Excuse me.

I have a question.

Sure.

What's it like being pregnant?

It's like...

participating in a miracle.

You want to come feel the baby move?

Can I?

Come, come, come.

Oh, here.

Right...

‐Wow. ‐You feel that?

This baby is so lucky

to have you as a big sister.

I really hope it's a girl,

so that we can be best friends,

like you, Auntie Treena and Auntie Kiki.

It is pretty special having sisters.

‐ ‐Did you feel that?

Yeah.

That better be the crib.

Ooh...

Yeah, I feel it.

Wild.

They don't even have a wreath

on their door.

‐Hey, Tyler! ‐How you doin'?

I wasn't expecting you till later.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, come on!

‐Hey! ‐Whoa!

Look at you, you're so...

‐...pregnant! ‐Thank you, Daddy?

Hey, you look stunning!

Oh, thank you!

And about to pop any second!

I know, right?

And I still have another month to go.

Aw...

Pregnancy looks good on you, sis.

Thank you, bro.

Hey, Daddy. Where's Mom?

Is she still in the car?

‐She didn't call you? ‐No.

Oh, the cell service is terrible up there.

Up where?

What's going on?

Your mom's stuck in Utah.

There was an avalanche on the highway

and nobody can get in or out of the resort

until they clear it away.

Oh, no.

Was anybody hurt?

Thankfully, no.

Well, how long is it going to take to clear?

Nobody knows,

but, uh, it was like a pretty major slide.

What about with you guys?

Are you all settled into your rental?

You're not going to believe this,

but a pipe burst.

What?

The whole main floor flooded.

We didn't even try moving in.

And at this point, we got nowhere else to go.

I mean, don't worry.

We've got plenty of rooms here, and we'd be...

happy to have you.

Of course.

We'll make it work.

Thank you, guys.

They could have added some color in here.

So, what's going on with these decorations?

We've just been so focused on getting ready for the baby,

and we didn't want to do

too much for Christmas this year.

That's a good one, Jacquie.

‐You almost had me. ‐What?

Don't worry, J.

We'll clean up everything before we leave, I promise.

And we've got to be very careful

not to, uh, break, you know, Marchelle's angel.

‐Mm‐hmm. ‐Let's go get it.

I'm going to go put this little one down.

Yes, go, go, go.

Just go.

I love you.

Great.

And there goes our quiet little Christmas.

I'm don't think this is Jacquie's style.

What are you, kidding?

What are you talking about? It's hilarious.

Besides, the kids are getting older.

I needed to up my game.

Well, it looks like it's all for us to enjoy this year.

Actually, there's an old man who lives up the road.

I've tried introducing myself a couple times, but...

Oh, well, that's too bad.

It's nice to get to know your neighbors.

Sometimes, you even marry them.

If you're lucky.

We're here!

Uh‐oh.

The holidays can start now!

Oh, no, it was his idea.

Oh, Daddy, no, you didn't.

Didn't what,

just make Christmas 10 times more lit?

Did I use "lit" right?

No, you didn't,

and Jacquie's gonna hate that.

No, she's not!

Yes, she is.

I think it looks dope.

Thank you, Royce.

Now, get over here and give your granddad a hug.

Good stuff, good stuff.

Sorry we're late, Dad.

You know, work's just been...

a little hectic.

Very busy.

You make me proud, Ki.

Thanks, Dad.

Aw, I'm sorry, sweetie.

I didn't mean to make you cry.

No, no, no, um...

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I've just been an emotional wreck lately.

You know, I'm probably just overtired

‐from working so hard, you know? ‐Mm‐hmm.

Everyone's inside.

They're waiting for us. Come on.

No, no, no, you guys go ahead.

I've got a phonecall to make.

Go ahead.

‐You okay? ‐I'm okay, yeah.

‐You sure you're okay? ‐I'm okay, I'm okay, yeah.

Kiara Liddle calling again.

Um, my sister's baby shower is in three days,

and I really need you to confirm

that everything is all set and ready to go.

You know, I hired you guys

because I was stressing out with everything going on,

and now you're stressing me out.

Call me back, please!

Please, no, seriously, call me back.

I didn't know Marchelle knew how to ski.

Yeah, yeah, well, she always wanted to learn,

so she and her friends took off to Utah

on a ski getaway.

Oh, that reminds me,

I should, uh, be filming some of this.

She said she didn't want to miss a thing.

Then, um, you should turn the camera this way, Dad,

'cause we have some big news to share.

Okay.
