"Yeah, what's that?" Jackie asked.
"Well, I've been thinking about what to get you for Christmas, and I think what I'm going to do is take your engagement ring in and get a bigger diamond put in, what do you say?" Nick asked.
"I think that's a terrible idea, and it is not going to happen." Jackie said.
"What? Why not?" Nick said totally surprised by her reaction, he thought she'd love that idea. What woman wouldn't want a bigger diamond?
"Honey, that's very sweet but I don't want a bigger diamond in it, I love it just the way it is."
"I'm not going to change anything else about it, I'm simply going to take the middle stone out of it and put a bigger one in, that's all, it'll be the same ring."
"Ain't going to happen." Jackie insisted.
"Jackie, I thought you'd love this idea, I'm really surprised. When I saw the ring on Deb's finger I guess it made me feel bad, you deserve a ring like that, I didn't make as much money when I proposed or I'd of given you a ring like that then, now that I have the money I'd like to do this for you, you deserve this, please, let me."
"Sweetie, I think my ring is beautiful, I've thought that from day one. I get compliments about how pretty it is all the time, from people I don't even know. I love it because it's pretty, but do you know the biggest reason why I love it?"
"Why's that?" She smiled
"Because you gave it to me, it's a symbol of our marriage and our life that we've built together. I wouldn't change one thing about our marriage so why would I change the very symbol of it?"
"I guess I never thought of it that way." He admitted.
She smiled at him.
"You're pretty incredible do you know that?" He asked.
"Yes I do." She said with a grin.
He laughed.
"There is one thing that you could do to the ring for me though." She said.
"Yeah, what?"
"You could take it in and have it sized back to my normal ring size. I increased the size when I was pregnant so I could still wear it and now that I've lost most of the baby weight it's too big."
"Ok, I can do that for you, but what else do you want for Christmas, since you squashed my idea."
"A Ferrari." She quipped.
He laughed
"When I said I made more money, I didn't mean that much more." He said.
"Oh darn." She said smiling.
"Seriously though, what do you want?"
"There's nothing that I really want, I have everything I could ask for."
"Including a sexy husband right?"
She laughed
"An incredibly sexy husband." She agreed.
"That's a great answer." He said with a grin.
"Yeah, I thought you'd like that." She replied.
He smiled once again.
"Seriously though, what do you want for Christmas?"
"Surprise me." She said.
He groaned "Can't you just tell me what you want? Trying to surprise you is so hard."
"I'm sure you'll think of something Mr. CSI." She said with a grin.
He groaned again.
"I have faith in you." She insisted.
"You shouldn't." he mumbled.
She laughed.
"I'm going to sleep. Goodnight."
"Night." He said.
Jackie fell asleep but Nick didn't, he wracked his brain trying to think of what to get her for Christmas but when he had finally fallen asleep he still hadn't thought of anything.
The End!
