The next few days went by pretty smoothly for the both of them, C.J. was getting use to being home and getting use to having Matt around all the time doing for her in every way he possibly could. She even thought he'd shower and brush her teeth for her if he could. With that thought she kind of chuckled to herself.
One night after Matt had made dinner for them and the baby was in bed C.J. brought up the fact that the holidays were coming . "Thanksgiving is week after next, have you decided how you might like to spend it? she asked.
"Wow it is isn't it?" Matt said completely forgetting about them coming due to everything else going on around him.
"Well hmm, maybe we should keep it quiet this year being that your not fully recovered yet?" He said, knowing that probably wasn't going to go over very well.
"I'd like to do what we always have done and cook at the ranch and invite everyone there like we usually do." she said hoping he'd go for it.
"Are you sure you'd be up for all the people?" he asked concerned.
"It will be fine, all I've done is go back and forth to different doctor's appts. I'm cabin fever crazy." she said almost pleading with him to ok the dinner.
"You have been really good considering this is definitely not your personality at all." Matt said reaching over and kissing her.
"Ok we'll do it, as long as you promise that whatever part you play in the preparations, they are done primarily sitting down and the first hint of getting tired you go lay down." Matt said sternly.
"Yes sir ,Thank you for agreeing to it Houston." she said kissing his cheek.
"I can't wait this will be Wade's first Thanksgiving" she said.
"Yea it will be, I couldn't be happier." Matt said as him and C.J. snuggled down on the couch together, her with her head on his chest.
The next week finds them out at the ranch preparing for the Thanksgiving holiday. C.J. talked Matt into going ahead and getting their Christmas tree so the house could be all decorated the way she wanted for their guests on Thanksgiving Day. She kept to her promise and stayed seated mostly and when she felt tired she'd taken a few naps.
Thanksgiving Day finally arrived and all was wonderful everyone had shown up and was making over baby Wade of course. Matt being the new father made sure everyone used hand sanitizer before touching the baby. C.J. just sat back and laughed.
Everyone had finally left and baby Wade was asleep and that left C.J. and Matt exhausted but happy that the day had gone so well. Matt looked at C.J. as they were making one last drink. "Come sit with me" he said and he led her over to the couch. "Remember when I said I couldn't be happier the other night when we were at your house, on the couch talking about how life was going?" he asked her
"Yes, of course, I couldn't be happier either" she answered back not realizing where he was going with his statement.
"Well there is one more little bity thing that would just make me a tad bit happier" he said grinning
"Oh yea and what would that be?" she asked with a slight grin.
"If you'd be my wife", pulling the emerald and diamond ring out of his pocket and putting it on her ring finger.
"Yeeessss,absolutely yes." she said crying the entire time. "I love you so much."
With that he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to their bedroom and he knew that for the rest of their lives he could never, would never, be happier, after all he had it all now, everything he ever had wanted in life and he knew it.
