Caleb walked through the front door of their apartment, later than usual, to the sound of a screaming baby.

He walked to the bed room and found Hanna trying to comfort Ava who was bawling in her arms. Hanna also looked like she had been crying and was still dressed in her pyjamas from last night and her hair was tied up in a messy bun.

"What's wrong?" He asked walking up to her.

Hanna looked up not noticing he had come home until now. "I don't know. She won't stop crying." Hanna said trying to rock Ava.

"Is she hungry?" He asked trying to help.

"No. I've tried everything Caleb. She just won't stop. Shes been like this for the past hour." Hanna said handing the screaming baby to Caleb.

Caleb tried to calm Ava down, bouncing her up and down and rubbing her little tummy. Her cries began to die down although not completely.

"Go for a shower, I've got a surprise for you both." He smiled, hoping it would help her relax.

Hanna nodded and picked up a towel, making her way to the bathroom.

Caleb placed Ava on his chest and kissed her head. "Shhh." He whispered as she stopped crying completely. Caleb pulled her back down into his arms and smiled down at her. He ran his finger along her soft cheek wiping the tears away.

He walked to her room and lay her down in the cot for a few seconds while he pulled out another baby grow and her white snow suit with fluff on the inside. He bundled her up and went back into their bed room where Hanna was routing through the drawers with a towel wrapped around her.

"How did you do that?" She sighed, rubbing her sleeping daughters little foot.

"Magic." Caleb whispered.

Hanna liked up at him like she was about to cry. "Why wouldn't she stop crying. Do you think there's something wrong with her?" She asked as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"No. You was just stressed and she picked up on it." He replied kissing her cheek.

"Do think so?"

"Yeah baby, don't worry about her." He smiled. "Or she could've just missed her daddy."

Hanna laughed. "Why were you late home anyway?" She asked.

"I got a surprise." He smirked.

"What is it?"

"Well actually I've got two." He said putting a sleeping Ava into her basket as he started unbuttoning his shirt.

He pulled it off and turned around revealing two cursive words written on the back of his right shoulder. It said Hanna and underneath was Ava.

Hanna stepped forward and ran her fingers over the tattoos. "Do you like them?" He asked.

Hanna didn't know if she liked them. She definitely didn't expect him to get a tattoo, never mind her and their daughters names but it felt kinda good. Like she would always be apart of him. "Where did you get someone to do you two tattoos and Christmas Eve?" She asked.

Caleb chuckled and turned around. "Some guy at work. His brother has a tattoo place and said if I upgraded all his computers in the shop he'd give me a free tattoo.I thought you'd like it. I can't exactly get rid of them now." He shrugged.

"No I like it. I'm just suprised." She said turning him back around so she could take another look. "Your moms gonna kill you though."

"What was the other surprise?" She asked remembering he said there was two.

"I'm taking you somewhere." He smiled.

"Where?"

"I can't tell you. But dress up warm."

"Oh. So that's why she's wearing the snow suit my mom got her. I thought you'd just dressed her blind." She teased walking over to the wardrobe as Caleb changed into some jeans.

A few minutes later they were leaving the apartment. Ava tucked up in her pram with a pink blanket pulled over to keep her warm. Hanna was wearing black jeans and a jumper and her winter coat.

Caleb pushed the pram and Hanna wrapped her arms around his, keeping close to stay warm.

"Please tell me where we're going." Hanna begged.

Caleb smiled and shook his head. "Nope."

They carried on walking until they got to Central Park. All of the trees were light up and their was people skating on the ice ring. "Wow." Hanna gasped.

"You like it?" He smiled.

She nodded and leaned in for a kiss.

"Wait, we're not going skating are we?" She frowned.

Caleb chuckled. "Well you just had a baby and I can't skate so no. We're here to see the lights."

"Good." She replied snuggling into him.

They walked around for a bit and then sat down in a bench.

"How are you not freezing?" Hanna shivered snuggling into him on the bench with the pram in front of them.

She was wrapped up in many layers as Caleb sat there in a t shirt and thin black bommer jacket.

Caleb laughed and wrapped his arm around her pulling her closer.

"Hi Baby." Hanna cooed stroking Ava's cheek as she woke up. She unbuckled the pram and pulled her on to her knee. Caleb tickled under her chin and she flashed him a gummy smile.

"She's a daddy's girl." Hanna said handing Ava to him. He propped her up on his knee and supported her head so she could see the lights.

"Total daddy's girl." He smiled.

Hanna leaned her head on his shoulder as they sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, Caleb bouncing Ava on his knee.

He took a heavy breath and Hanna lifted her head sensing something was wrong.

He just flashed her a weak smile and looked up at the trees that were light up.

"Caleb, what's wrong?" She asked.

"Nothing." He replied.

Hanna just raised her eyebrows at this comment and he sighed again realising she could tell something was wrong.

"I just don't get it." He began. "I don't get how my mom and dad could leave their own child. From the minute I found out you were pregnant with my baby I loved you both so much. I could never imagine leaving you and leaving Ava not knowing who her father is. And I know they're sorry for it and they keep telling me but I just don't know how they walked out on their child." He said as his eyes started filing with water.

Hanna placed a soft kiss on his cheek and lay her head back on his shoulder. " They loved you Caleb and your mom left you because she thought it was best for you. And your dad wasn't ready to be a dad. And it just proves how good of a dad you are that you would never leave."

He smiled and placed a kiss on the top of her head before pulling Ava closer to him.

.

They sat in silence, watching the lights until small snow flakes started falling from the sky. Hanna lifted her head and smiled at Caleb as he let the snowflakes fall on his face. Then he turned to Hanna. She looked so beautiful with the white flakes in her hair and caught in her eyelashes. He leaned in and joined their lips together.

"I love you." Hanna said pulling away.

"I love you too." He smiled.

Ava kicked Hanna's knee, making them both look down at her.

"And you princess." He laughed.

"Han, where are you going?" Caleb asked as she broke away from there make out session on the sofa and rolled out from under him as Ava slept in her basket.

"I've not wrapped her presents." She said running to the kitchen to get the scissors and tape.

"She's not even two months yet, she doesn't know what Christmas is, she's not gonna care if her presents are wrapped or not." He said annoyed.

Hanna rolled her eyes. "Well if you help it'll be done quicker and we can get back to what we was doing before."

Caleb groaned and stood up to help her wrap the presents.

Half an hour later they were back to making out on the sofa. The wrapped presents were under the tree and you could definitely tell which ones Hanna had wrapped and which ones Caleb had attempted to wrap.

"Sit up." She told him pulling away from the kiss so she could take his t-shirt off.

Soon most of their clothes were on the floor. Caleb reached down for her black lace panties. "Wait." He started. "What about your…" He trailed off looking down her body.

"It's been over six weeks Caleb, the doctor said it was okay." She said chuckling at his concern.

"Yeah but we don't have to if it will hurt you." He said not wanting to make her feel like he was just pleasing himself.

"I don't mind."

"No. Not if its gonna hurt you." He said sitting up.

Hanna smiled and ran her hand over his cheeks smiling at how caring he was. "Caleb, I want to. And we're gonna have to do it at some point and Christmas Eve makes it more romantic." She said kissing his neck.

"Are you sure?" He asked one final time.

She nodded and kissed him silent.
