Chapter 8: Recovery and Christmas

Haiya! Kate here! Chris has been teaching me how to type and he decided to let me write the next chapter of our love story in my point of view! Yay! I love you Chris, baby! XOXO

My (Kate) POV

The next morning, the doctors came in to check on Chris and I. I told them he was still out and the doctor's told me he should be awake by this afternoon. Chris' parents were going to come visit as soon as he woke up. The doctors gave me a blueberry muffin for breakfast, which was surprisingly good. Chris told me that hospital food can taste like shit sometimes. Anyway, after enjoying breakfast, I found the TV remote and began flipping through channels. Turns out, one of the channels was showing Alpha and Omega. Since that was our favorite movie, I decided to watch it. I loved watching myself on the screen. This movie did make me think of Humphrey a little bit, but he just wasn't the wolf for me. I meant that as in "Turning out to be a douche and sleeping with my little sister" type of way. Once it got to the so called "Big Finish Howl", I watched myself howl with Humphrey, but instead of Humphrey in my mind, it was Chris. He was a jet black wolf with yellow eyes. On his right shoulder was that Silent Hill symbol. We both stared at the moon and howled. At the end, we kissed and went to our dens.

I sighed happily at the thought. I daydreamed about Chris almost all morning. Soon, at about 1 PM, the sheets began to move. I turned to see Chris stirring. He was waking up! I barked happily and the doctors rushed in to see him waking up. Chris' Parents brought him his iPod, iPhone, iPad, PSP, some movies and other things. They told him and his parents that he could go home on Christmas Eve morning. I was so excited to see that he would be home just in time for Christmas. Soon the doctors and his parents left again, with it just being me and my sweet Chris alone. He couldn't really talk when he first woke up. He took another nap for about an hour before waking up into an even better condition.

"Hey." He said, smiling.

"Hey you." I said, licking his face.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Much better, now that your ok." I said, nuzzling him.

"Kate, ever since I met you...Uh...Ive been having dreams..." he said.

"Oh? What about these dreams?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.

"Well...they were about us. Some of them were us kissing and making out. Others involved us mating. But they all had one thing in common." he said, "The fact that they tell me how much I am in love with you."

I was completely taken back. Words could not express the shock and joy that brought to me. I sat there on his chest for about 5 minutes, trying to gather a response to my head. Finally, tears began flowing down my face as I laid my head on his chest.

"Chris...I love you too." I said.

"Kate, will you be mine?" Chris asked me,

"You have been mine since day one baby." I said.

Soon came the happiest moment of my life. We rubbed noses and soon our lips met in a deep passionate kiss. Our tongues wrestled around as we explored each others mouths. It was the happiest moment of my life. I'll never forget it. After breaking away from the kiss, we stared into each others eyes as I cuddled close to him and he held me in his big, strong arms.

"I love you Kate." he whispered.

"I love you too, Chris." I whispered back.

We continued to kiss and cuddle when the doctors or his parents were not around. We discussed that our love had to be kept a secret. We were both scared of what may happen if we revealed our true love to the world. Most people would not accept us, as there are many of these so called "Anti-Furry" movements. But as long as I had my sexy husband at my side, I felt safe. Chris and I decided to find a way on how to get married. Chris had an idea.

Once he was discharged from the hospital, he took me down by the pond again, of course this time we did not go on it. I looked out on the ice to see that gaping hole I fell through. It gave me gruesome memories and thoughts of what could of happened. In a way, I am sort of glad it did happen though. If it didn't happen, I don't think we would have ever gotten this close. And of course I looked to the tree where there was once snow covering it, and saw a sign saying "DANGER: THIN ICE".

"Well what do ya know!" Chris laughed.

"Yeah..." I said looking at the lake.

There was a bench where Chris and I were sitting faced the pond and beyond that. We sat and watched the sunset as I lay my head on my husband's shoulder. He kissed me again and I smiled, kissing him back.

"Its beautiful isn't Kate?" He said.

"Oh Chris... yes it really is." I said.

"Who knew we'd end up being a couple?" Chris said.

"Hell, I didn't, although I loved you since the day we met." I said, "When I was a little girl."

Chris just smiled and stared out into the lake. Soon, the sky grew dark and the moon rose in the night sky. I suddenly felt this burst of excitement coming from me as I saw the moon. Soon, our silence was broken when I began to howl a beautiful tune. This tune was one of Chris' favorites.

Waiting For You - Akira Yamaoka

Your gentle voice I hear

Your words echo inside me

You said You long for me

and that you love me

And I want to see you too

feels just like I'm falling

Is there nothing I can do

wonder if you hear my calling

I'm here and waiting for you

where are you, I can't find you

I'm here and waiting for you

I'll wait forever for you

Mom's gone to heaven now

why won't she come back down

does she have someone

she loves more than me

I thought I could love you better

we were always together

if we took some time apart

you would finally know my heart

I'm here and waiting for you

where are you, I can't find you

I'm here and waiting for you

I'll wait forever for you

I fell in love with you and now you're gone

there's nothing left in my lonely room without you

I'm here and waiting for you

where are you, I can't find you

I'm here and waiting for you

I'll wait forever for you

I'm here and waiting for you

where are you, I can not I can not find you

I'm waiting for you

where are you where are you

After I finished howling, Chris sat there and stared at me with amazement.

"Kate...that was beautiful." he said.

"Awww, well it was for you baby." I said, kissing him.

"Let me try!" Chris said.

"Shoot!" I laughed.

Soon Chris started howling another tune from Silent Hill 4: The Room. I don't think it was a lyrical song, but either way it was beautiful. I stared into his beautiful blue eyes as he howled. For a human, I mean, damn! It was awesome.

"How was that?" Chris asked.

"Pretty fucking amazing!" I said, hugging him.

"Like you..." he said, pulling me close.

After howling for a while, we decided to get back to the house. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve and I wanted to get Chris something special for Christmas. After all, he saved my life, I should be able to get him a nice present.

The next morning, I jumped out of bed and trotted to Mrs. Ashton's door. I scratched at the door gently, and to my luck, she opened the door.

"Morning Kate! Come in girl!" she said with a smile.

"Thanks!" I said.

I then explained to his mom how I wanted to get something special for him. She agreed and we went through catalogs of things we could get for him. Finally, I chose a special cologne for him that apparently he has been wanting for the past year to add to his collection. So Mrs. Ashton and I went to the mall while Chris and his dad were asleep and we bought him the bottle. I sniffed it and boy would he smell sexy when wearing this. I also got to try different perfumes and other nice fragrences. The mall was fun until it got packed. Chris' mom explained that a lot of the people here were shopping for last minute gifts and the stores were having last minute sales before they closed for the holidays. I thought it was all pretty cool. Mrs. Ashton then bought me some Chanel perfume and I thought Chris would love me wearing that.

After waiting in line, we soon checked out and were on our way home. I enjoyed being with his mom sometimes, she was a very sweet woman and she was nothing like my mom. In fact, I started thinking about my mom, how she probably misses me, how she is probably crying for me as we speak. The thought made me sad, but I was happy where I was. Although it would be nice to at least let them know I was alright. Once we got home, Chris was still passed out and I had his mom put the perfume on me. I trotted upstairs and then climbed back into bed. I curled up next to him as he wrapped his arms around me in his sleep. His warmth the made me dose off to sleep some more.

After a while I felt him stirring. I opened my eyes to face him smiling. He kissed me and I kissed him back.

"Good morning sweet heart." He said.

"Morning babe." I said.

"Damn what do you have on? It smells Great!" he said.

"Oh just some perfume, your mom and I went and bought me some for Christmas." I said.

"Cool! Well, tomorrow is Christmas! Can you belive it?" he said.

"I know! Its awesome!" I said.

"Hey Kate..." Chris said, staring into my eyes.

"Yes hon?"

"Your hot right now." he said.

"So are you..." I said.

Thats when we embraced each other and we had the best make out session ever. I loved it when our tongues would wrestle and explore eachother's mouths. Chris tasted so good as I moaned when he would rub my back. Chris was such a charmer when it came to stuff like making out. He was nothing but a sexy, handsome stud to me. After we broke our make out session up about 5 minutes later, we both went downstairs to eat breakfast. Mrs. Ashton seemed a little stressed because the house was a complete mess. Chris and I offered to help her and we did so. It took about all day to clean the house.

Since Chris' family was Catholic, they had church that night. I sat in his lap during the service and listened to the story of this so called baby Jesus. He seemed like a pretty neat guy. Chris then told me after the service the whole story of his life. With all the miracles and stuff. I was not quite sure if I belived them or not. But either way, they were great to learn about. After church, Chris and I went upstairs to play Modern Warfare 3 while my mom made dinner. We had French dip and roast beef sandwiches for dinner that night. It was pretty damn good! After giving a good ass kicking to Chris in MW3, we retired to bed, ready to wake up to a nice Christmas morning.

"Good Night babe." Chris said, kissing me.

"Night sweet heart." I said, falling asleep.

The Next Morning...

"Merry Christmas!" I heard Chris say.

My eyes fluttered open. I looked at the alarm clock next to our bed. It read 6 AM.

"Chris honey, its too early!" I groaned, turning over.

"Come on! There are presents downstairs!" he said.

"Hmmm...Ok babe." I said, rolling out of bed.

I walked downstairs with my husband to find his dad and mom sitting there, with presents under the tree.

"Morning you two! Merry Christmas!" his mom said.

"Morning." I groaned.

"Shall we start?" my dad said.

"Yes!" Chris said.

Chris went under the tree and distributed gifts. I got quite a few surprisingly. Chris got some too. So did his parents. Chris opened all of his in a flash. He got an electric shaver, iPod/iPad alarm clock docking system, some gift cards, XBOX stuff, and some Missisippi State stuff. I got mostly dog stuff like doggy toys. They were fun to play with! I even got a beautiful red collar with my id tag on it. His parents got whatever they got, I cant remember that much! Well, just when we thought the gifts were over. Chris went into his room and came back with a small thin black box.

"Merry Christmas Kate." he said, handing the box to me.

I opened it and was greeted with the most beautiful gift I have ever received It brought me to tears pretty much. It was a beautiful diamond necklace from Kay Jewelers. Chris then put it around my neck.

"You look beautiful." he said.

"Awww thanks!" I said hugging him.

Soon I ran to where my gift was. I went and got his colonge and he tried it on. He loved it. After the gifts, Chris' mom made some wonderful cinnamon buns. After eating and enjoying our breakfast. Chris and I went back upstairs and into his bedroom.

"Chris...this necklace is so beautiful. Ive never felt this much love in my life." I said.

"Well, your my wife, you deserve something." he said smiling.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too!" he said.

The rest of the day was pretty much playing XBOX and setting the sound system up in his room. Soon we sat down to Christmas dinner and that was another good meal prepared by his mother. That night, Chris and I cuddled even closer. Our lips touched every second as we made out again. Soon we lost track of time and we stayed up till 1 AM. Chris then fell asleep. As I watched him sleep, I realized how this was truly the most wonderful time of the year...
