The last few months had been a rush of trying to sort everything out, reunions, and breathing for what felt like the first time in years. It was an adjustment, and in the aftermath, Casey had spent a lot of time trying to process everything on top of being a dad and him and Alex moving in with Teo. While there had been a little bit of fear on his mind at that prospect, it wasn't overwhelming. He figured if anything, the slight nagging doubt that he felt was probably the most normal part about his life at the time. Looking back on it just a few months later, Casey knew he was right not to trust that doubt. It wasn't always easy, given that they were all dealing with the aftermath. But it was always worth it, and they always seemed to find their footing again, something Casey couldn't have been more grateful for. It was the stability that both he and Alex had needed. So sitting here with a mound of mostly wrapped presents for tomorrow, Casey was finally letting himself relax a little bit. That is until he thought of the one present that he was actually going to give out tonight instead of in the morning.
Casey didn't care if this all had been done before, it just seemed like it was the best timing. After getting back from evening's mass, Casey and Teo had put an over-excited and fighting sleep Alex to bed and started to finish wrapping up the last minute gifts and put out the gifts that had been hidden away for a while now. Besides, tomorrow was going to be chaos for their first Christmas together. Tomorrow morning together and then their first real attempt to spend the holiday with both of their families and make it all work. Casey couldn't help but smile a bit at himself thinking that if all went well tonight, they'd actually have a life time to figure it all out.
Hearing footsteps coming back out towards the living room Casey streched a bit after shoving the little box under his thigh from where he was sitting on the floor with his back against the couch. "He settle back in okay?" he asked chuckling slightly. Honestly, he couldn't have been happier about the timing, or the fact that Alex had called out for Papi specifically. It made him think that this was exactly why he was ready to do this.
