Calleigh woke up at six in the morning, and was a bit groggy. She'd been up and down all night depending on the baby's needs. She was up about six times so far and now she was up again. He was probably hungry. She moved out of bed quietly as not to wake Tim, but little did she know that he wasn't asleep anymore.
The blonde bombshell was skinny again, equipped with stretch marks, but she didn't care, she was proud of them if not anything else. Her feet weren't swollen anymore, but the one thing that she still had to suffer from was the pain in her back. It hadn't quite gone away yet.
She walked into the baby's room to find Kenny crying his head off. She shhed him and sat down in the rocking chair. "Hey there sweetie, mommy's here," she whispered lightly to him.
Tim got up and placed his presents for Calleigh and Kenny under the tree. He saw that Calleigh had already put hers there, she must have done that when she got up to take care of Kenny. After he was finished, he went to Kenny's room, and silently watched his family from the doorway.
Calleigh was singing lightly to her son. She was so proud of him and she was so excited to be a mom. She didn't even notice that Tim was standing behind her in the doorway, listening to her sing.
"There's presents waiting for you under the tree," Tim said, finally making his presence known.
Calleigh looked up and smiled, then stood up and took Kenny out to the living room, smiling at the beautiful lit tree contrasted against the dark sky in the window behind it.
"Let's give Kenny his gift first," she said with a smile as she pulled over his gift and even though he was only five days old, she still wrapped it. It was a baby swing, something her nephews used to love. She smiled and Tim and then put him inside and let it start to swing. He giggled when it started swinging.
"I think he likes it." Tim said as he sat down on the floor next to Calleigh. She nodded in agreement and then leaned in to give him a light kiss. She reached under the tree and pulled out a very small box and handed it to him. It was something she'd wanted to give him for a while now since he had to give it up earlier in their relationship, and she couldn't wait to see his reaction.
He smiled and looked over to her. He unwrapped the small box. He opened it up and saw a key inside. A key he recognized all too well. "Calleigh you didn't," Tim said in disbelief. Calleigh just smiled and kissed his cheek. "Go look outside and see for yourself," she said as she got up and stood in the doorway to the garage, mindful that the baby was inside. Tim looked like a five year old boy that got the best present in the world. It was the same kind and the only difference between the Ducati that he sold away for something with four doors and this, was that this bike was brand new. He looked over the bike, which had a red bow on the handles of it. When he was finished, he came back in and kissed her passionately.
"Thank you so much baby, you didn't have to buy me something that big," he told her. Calleigh just smirked and nodded.
"I know, I wanted to," she told him as she walked back into the house and opened up a few more gifts for Kenny, all of which he seemed to enjoy, especially the little giraffe that Tim had picked out for him.
Everything was perfect, and Calleigh had enjoyed the cute little gifts that he got her for Christmas, and even laughed at the Yankee jersey he bought for her, and a matching one for Kenny. But as they got to the end of the gift giving, Tim had one last present for Calleigh. It was something he noticed she'd been eyeing, but she never told anyone she wanted it.
Calleigh smiled as he handed her the tiny box, and opened it patiently. She opened up the box and then felt her jaw drop to the floor. It was the thousand dollar necklace she had her eye on for the past year and a half. She had it saved in her favorites on the computer, and she had a picture of it in the front flap of her diary, where he'd caught a glimpse of it when she wrote in it. And so he decided, that's what he was going to give her.
Calleigh looked to Tim and then when she saw the smile on his face she smiled as well. "Baby, how did you know I wanted this? I never told anyone about it," she said excitedly.
"I just know you Calleigh, I think I should know my wife and what she likes, don't you?" he asked with a trademark smirk.
Calleigh smiled and gave it to him. "Put it on," she said lightly. Tim complied and came up behind her and then put the necklace on her. She smiled and turned around to kiss him. She had been so excited that she knocked him to the floor.
Tim grunted as he hit the floor, but the more he melted into the kiss the more he liked it. He slowly wrapped his arms around her and felt the silver necklace he just gave her as he slid his hand up to run it through her hair.
When they were finally done, they went to the window beside the tree and looked out to the beautiful Christmas morning. Tim had turned on some soft Christmas music, to Calleigh's liking. Of course, "All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan" by Kenny Chesney wasn't exactly what he had in mind when she said she wanted a Christmas song, but if she liked it, he was willing to listen to it. He would give Calleigh the world if he could He would give his son the world too. He was so happy that his family was happy and here, with him. He never wanted that to go away.
As they looked out to the Miami morning, they each thought of their future. Raising their child, maybe having more kids in the future, everything. They wanted to experience it all. It was then that a familiar song played on one of Calleigh's mix CD's. It was their wedding song.
"Want to dance?" Tim asked her, holding out his hand. Calleigh nodded and took it. They danced in the early hours of Christmas morning, stealing glances at their son when they could.
Sure, Tim was going to see the rest of his family today. His family was flying down from Syracuse this morning and were on their way, and Calleigh's family was coming as well. But all heA needed was right here in his arms. He needed Calleigh, he needed his Angel.
THE END
