Chapter 26:
It's now Christmas morning and Cara has started to speak to Raf again but he is still unsure about what she wants and whether she is hiding something or not, They also have the next few days off to be together and start to get things back on track.
The snow is falling heavily outside, Cara and Raf are cuddled up together in bed with cups of hot chocolate "I love you" Cara mutters as she cuddles into his chest , These past few days Cara has started to get on with Raf again and they are really settled now and happy.
Cara sits herself upright in bed and places her mug on the bedside table and takes Raf's mug off him too, she says to him "I've got you a present" she smiles as she kisses Raf on the cheek.
"I hope so too" he jokes as he kisses Cara on the cheek and hands her a present too she smiles at him and kisses him on the cheek "I hope you like it" he says as he kisses her on the neck.
Cara unwraps the present carefully and comes to a square box "Raf... it's gorgeous" Cara says as she opens the box up to see a silver bracelet with a few charms on it, "I feel like my present won't add up to this now" Cara smiles as she looks at the bracelet.
Raf looks at her and places his hand on her thigh and says "You like it then?" Cara gives a nod and leans over and kisses him.
Cara leans over and grabs an envelope from out of her bedside draw and takes a deep breath in and hands Raf the envelope he looks at it "I hope it's a holiday" he jokes and Cara gives a nervous laugh, Cara moves closer to him and strokes his arm while watching him mess with the envelope and then he finally opens it.
Her heart starts to race a little as she watches him look at the white card which has a few golden swirls on it "This better not be one of your bad jokes again" Raf smiles at her as he messes with the card.
He opens the card and looks at the note which is written in Cara's handwriting 'Raf, I hope on the next page what I have got for you for Christmas is a lot more than you asked for, it's still on order so please don't kill me it should be here by early June time, Cara xx' Raf gives Cara a confused look and a nervous laugh before he turns the page.
As he turns the page he sees another note but this time there's a picture attached he reads the letter first and it reads 'Happy Christmas Daddy, I hope Mummy has surprised you, I can't wait to meet you in early June and give you loads of cuddles, lots of love the bump xxx' Raf looks at Cara completely and utterly stunned.
He continues to stare down at Cara's scan "Raf say something" Cara panics as he is yet to say anything , he pulls her into a hug and kisses her on the head.
"So this explains the mood swings" Raf says and Cara looks at him with a confused look on his face, "How far gone are you?" Raf questions as he notices that Cara does look pregnant now he knows why she looks different.
"Aren't you happy?" she questions curiously as she looks at him, he is still looking down at the scan and then smiles at her "Oh I am fourteen weeks gone" she smiles at him.
Raf smiles at her and kisses her "I'm over the moon, Money can't buy what you've just given me" he says as he pushes her over onto her back and begins to kiss her.
Later on they are now downstairs and Cara and Raf are beginning to cook their Christmas lunch and Raf feels really guilty drinking wine in front of Cara as she can't drink, "If you're feeling that guilty Raf about drinking in front of me stop so you don't make yourself feel guilty" Cara says as she walks over to Raf and puts the tea towel on her shoulder.
"I will think about it" he laughs as he pulls Cara into a hug and he wraps his arms around her waist, "How are you feeling?" he questions as he kisses her on the cheek, she smiles and buries her head into his chest and doesn't say anything Raf takes her silence as a good thing.
Cara continues with what she is doing and Raf carries on sipping on his wine "When do you think we should announce us having a baby?" Raf says as he puts the wine down on the kitchen table and comes up behind Cara and puts his arms around her waist.
"Not yet, but maybe before I start to show even more" Cara smiles as she leans back into him, she feels his hands moves across her small bump that is forming.
Raf smiles to himself and he kisses her neck and rubs his hands on her stomach "I agree, I'm going to enjoy keeping a secret again aren't you?" Raf questions as he turns Cara to face him, She nods and hugs him before getting on with her cooking.
Once they have finished cooking and have eaten their Christmas lunch Cara begins the washing up as Raf has disappeared off somewhere, this is something Cara classes as typical now as he always does a disappearing act after they have eaten.
She hears him messing about in the lounge and then she begins her rant at him "Raf for heaven's sake if you do one more disappearing act while were washing up I will-" Cara is cut off by Raf's lips clashing with hers as he comes into the kitchen.
He holds the mistletoe above them both as they continue to kiss Cara wraps her arms around Raf's neck and goes up onto her tiptoes so she can reach Raf, "What will you do then?" Raf questions as he places his hands on her stomach.
"Doesn't matter" Cara mumbles as she places her hands on his chest and pulls away from the kiss "Since when did we have mistletoe?" Cara says as she looks up at Raf's arm, he laughs and finally takes his arm down and kisses her again.
"Since yesterday" he laughs and Cara smiles at him, "Now Miss Martinez I think we need to sit down and watch some Christmas TV" Raf says as he takes hold of Cara's hand and takes her through to the lounge, he makes Cara sit down on the sofa and pulls a blanket over them both, Cara puts her legs up on the sofa and cuddles into Raf.
Cara leans against Raf and looks up at him and glares at him "What?" he says as he looks down at Cara who doesn't look best impressed.
"Can you chew any louder?" Cara questions and Raf laughs at her.
"Yes I can actually, would you like me to chew louder?" Raf says as he puts another chocolate in his mouth and with a full mouth says "Want one?" Cara rolls her eyes in disgust and takes one off him and slowly opens it before eating the chocolate.
Raf pulls Cara onto his lap and pulls the cover back over them and begin to watch EastEnders "I haven't watched this in years" Cara says while taking a sip of her drink.
"Neither have I, I just guess when you work for nearly twelve hours a day you don't come home and watch TV, its normally get in, have dinner, have a bath or shower and possibly go to bed or sit and do paper work... well that's me as a doctor" he laughs and Cara nods in agreement.
Raf continues to talk all the way through EastEnders which Cara doesn't mind as it's never been one of her favourite Christmas day shows but now Doctor who is on and since 2005 when Doctor who returned Cara has been a fan of the show.
Cara gives Raf a chance to shut up as he is starting to annoy her, After another twenty minutes Raf begins to talk again which annoys Cara even more and she finally flips "Raf seriously shut up or I will have to take drastic measures and that would mean I would have to put a pillow over your face" Cara threatens with a smile on her face.
"Okay, Okay Cara keep your knickers on!" Raf replies and Cara glares at him.
"I haven't got any on" she jokes and Raf's face drops, "I'm only joking Raf" she says as she goes quiet and continues to watch TV.
Raf sniggers to himself and mutters under his breath "Stressed are we" unfortunately Cara hears what has just been muttered and she flips onto her knees and leans over Raf and puts her hand over Raf's mouth, he grabs hold of her waist and flips Cara onto her back.
"Raf I swear to god I will put that pillow over your face" she says but Raf looks at her innocently and makes Cara giggle, he leans down and begins to kiss her before placing both hands on her stomach.
