A sea of emotions coursed through Danny as his father's words sunk in. She couldn't go back undercover. She couldn't! He couldn't lose her, not now. Not when they were about to get married.

"Danny, you there?" Danny was brought out of his thoughts as he cleared his throat before croaking out,

"Yeah, yeah I'm… I'm here."

"Now son, you know it's her choice. She doesn't have to go back in. She can say no." He swallowed hard,

"Yeah…"

"Your Sargent will talk to her about it tomorrow." Danny didn't say anything and Frank sighed, "Danny, you'll need to talk to her about it."

"I know dad. She's um, she's asleep so… I'll talk to her about it tomorrow."

"It's going to be okay son." Danny didn't believe him,

"Thanks for the heads up dad." Danny hung up the phone and let out a frustrated growl before throwing it across the room. It hit the couch and fell to the floor with a small thud. Danny let out a sigh and put his head in his hands. They didn't need this. They really didn't. He knew that she didn't want to go back but he also knew how pestering Arbogast would be and how persuading he could be. He would play on her feelings of her duty to her job and the need to protect. He would tell her that she was the only one who could do it right the first time and that no one else would be as qualified to pull it off as her. He would guilt her into it. Danny couldn't let that happen. He couldn't let him do that to her, to them. Danny looked at the plate of spaghetti next to him and realized he'd lost his appetite. He stood up and took the plate into the kitchen where he put it back into the container and then the fridge. He picked his phone up off the floor and headed to bed. When he saw her curled up on her side with her face buried in her pillow he couldn't help but smile a little. He pulled off his shirt and pants and tossed them aside before crawling in next to her and pulling her close. He kissed her cheek before burying his face in her hair. He wasn't going to let anything happen to her. Not again.

The next morning when I woke up I expected to find myself wrapped in Danny's warm arms; however, when I did wake up I found that I was alone. I frowned a little. He was never up before I was and if he was he always stayed in bed with me. My frown deepened when I found him out in the living room cleaning his gun. He only cleaned his gun when something was really bothering him. Silently I walked up next to him and knelt down on my knees. Gently I took hold of his arm with the gun. He stopped cleaning and looked at me. I could see a mixture of fear and anger in his eyes. I licked my lips and whispered,

"Hey." He whispered back,

"Hey."

"What's bothering you?" He sighed and looked back at his gun, "Danny?" He sat his gun down before looking at me again,

"Pop called last night."

"Is everything alright? Is someone sick or hurt?" He shook his head,

"No, everyone's okay. It's um…" He looked away from me again and I lightly took hold of his chin and turned his head toward me. I placed my hand on the side of his cheek,

"What happened?"

"Arbogast… he wants you back undercover." I pulled my hand away from his cheek and my mouth fell open.

"What?" He looked to the floor,

"Sarge is supposed to talk to you about it today."

"Hey, look at me." He did and I leaned forward some and kissed him softly, "I won't make any decision without talking to you first alright?"

"Kyla-"

"Hey, I know what's at stake now. It's not just me anymore. It's both of us. It's our life together. I won't jeopardize that." I pressed my forehead against his as he took my hand and brought it up to his lips. He kissed it once before holding it to his chest,

"I don't wanna lose you."

"I know, and you won't. I'll always be here with you, always." He let out a heavy sigh and nodded some,

"Always." With that I pulled him up and he pulled me into a hug. He held me tightly for a few minutes before he let go and kissed my head, "We should probably get ready to go." I nodded. I knew he didn't want to talk about it yet. At least not until we knew what was being asked of me. I would hear him out but in the end it was my choice, and I wasn't going to be doing any more dangerous cases. I couldn't put Danny through that, it wouldn't be right. The ride to work was rather silent and that was okay. We were both rather dreading this. I really had no desire to go back into undercover work but I would hear him out. When we got to work Danny took hold of my hand and held it tightly as we walked in. It wasn't even five minutes before Sarge called me to his office. I looked at Danny who gripped my hand tightly. I kissed his hand before kissing his cheek and whispering,

"It's going to be okay." Slowly he let go of my hand and I got up and went into his office. He shut the door behind me and there sat Arbogast,

"Detective." I nodded in response. Sarge sighed,

"Kyla, I know you're not gonna like this and quite frankly neither do I, but Arbogast has an undercover operation coming up and he'd like you on it." I locked eyes with Arbogast,

"You do realize that I haven't done undercover in almost seven years right? And that the last time I went undercover I was tortured and my partner was killed and then five years later I was tortured again." He nodded,

"I do."

"Then why the hell are you asking me?" He sighed,

"Because you're one of the best."

"Hold on, before you continue I think my fiancé should be here."

"Detective, you know that's against the rules."

"I don't care. He's going to be my husband and I won't keep any secrets from him let alone make a decision that affects us both without talking to him about it."

"Detective-"

"I can say no and walk out of here right now." He stared at me for a long time before he sighed and nodded,

"Fair enough." Sarge opened his door and called or Danny.

"Reagan." Danny's head shot up,

"Yeah?"

"In my office." Danny shot up out of his chair and quickly made his way into his office. By the annoyed look on Arbogast's face and the look of controlled anger on Kyla's he figured that this was not going how Arbogast planned. Kyla looked at him and she relaxed some. Danny stood next to her and she took hold of his hand. Arbogast looked at the pair for a moment of two before he sighed,

"Alright, we've been tracking a group of underground illegal fights. The rules of the fight are loose. Cheap shots are allowed and-"

"Blood lust. They want to see blood spilt." Kyla had cut him off. Arbogast nodded,

"Yes, it's a no gloves or safety gear kind of fight. It's run by an arms dealer in the back of a club, and if we can get him on the illegal fights than we can tie him to the arms dealers."

"What does this have to do with me?" He sighed,

"We'd like you to pose as one of the fighters." Danny tensed and his grip on my hand tightened, "You would have a trainer who will be another undercover cop. The bar tender will be undercover as well. We can get a few in the crowd as well for safety measures." I stared at him for a long time before I let out a shaky breath,

"Um, I, uh…" This was a lot to take in and quite frankly it made me dizzy,

"We're still in the process of setting it all up. We look to start in February." I looked at Danny and I could see the pleading look in his eyes. I squeezed his hand before looking back at Arbogast,

"I'm sorry, but I can't. I can't do that to my family." I looked at Danny, "I can't do that to him." I saw the relieved look in his eyes as he pulled my hand up and kissed it. Arbogast sighed,

"Detective Williams, you are the best in this field. There is no one else more qualified than you and-"

"Hey, if she says no then she means no." Danny was getting angry and I placed my hand on his arm in an attempt to keep that anger at bay,

"Detective Reagan, this matter is up to her and I understand your concern but-"

"Really?" Danny leaned against the desk and his voice dropped to a deadly level, "Because I don't think you do. I had to watch the woman I love suffer twice because of this undercover work. She was in a comma! For weeks, I sat there and I waited. I prayed every waking moment that I would get her back. So excuse me for wanting to be concerned about the wellbeing of my fiancé. But I am not gonna let you try and bully or manipulate her into doing something she doesn't wanna do." I gripped his arm a bit tighter and whispered,

"It's okay Danny." Arbogast sighed,

"I am not trying to bully or manipulate her. It's her choice whether or not she wants to help us. But she is the most-" Danny let out a frustrated growl and I cut in,

"Enough, listen, I appreciate the offer but my answer is no." Before he could say anything I looked at Sarge, "Can we leave now? We have work to do." He nodded his head,

"Yeah, I'll take it from here." Danny was staring Arbogast down and I had to more or less drag him out of the room. When we were out of his office I dragged him back outside. The cold air whipped around us as I placed my hands on either side of his face. The anger that burned in his eyes began to subside,

"Hey, I am right here and I am not going anywhere. It's you and me remember? We stick together till the end of time, and there is no one or anything that can keep us apart." He sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist. He pressed his forehead against mine before kissing me softly,

"I know… I know."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

For the rest of the day Danny and Jackie were out working a case and I did the paper work. When I finished I went out and did my Christmas shopping.

It was Christmas Eve day and Danny and I were wrapping Christmas presents for the family. Danny and I had decided to get Henry a case of wine, one that was he and my grandfather's favorite kind. We got Frank a framed picture of all the kids and grandkids. Jamie, Erin, Nicky, Danny, me, Sean, Jack, as well as Lauren, Jacob, and their kids. Below that was a picture of Danny, Erin, Joe, Jamie, Lauren, and I from a long long time ago. On the bottom of the frame it was engraved with everyone's names in their own handwriting. We even had Joe's signature on it, we got it from one of his letters to Danny while he was overseas. For Erin and Nicky we got them a mother daughter necklace and a copy of the poetry book I had let Nicky borrow. For Jamie we got him a new watch with his name engraved on the back. And for Lauren and Jacob we got them each new cameras and the kids, of course, we got them toys. The boys weren't going to open their presents until tomorrow afternoon when they came over for dinner. They were going spend the morning with Linda and then the afternoon with Danny and I. They would open their presents before we headed over to the house for dinner with the family. Tonight though was Danny and I's night. He had a surprise for me, an early Christmas present he said. All he said was that we were going out, and that was it. I wasn't sure what it was but I knew I was going to like it. Especially since he had even managed to keep the boys from telling me what it was.

I had wrapped Danny's presents weeks ago and hid them at the office in Jackie's desk. I had to hide his presents because he was always snooping around trying to get a glimpse as to what they were. He'd never admit to sneaking around looking for them but I had caught him numerous times in the past. I had thought long and hard as to what to get him for Christmas. I got him the James Bond collection on DVD along with a new phone and a new lap top. His old phone was cracked and some of the features didn't work anymore. Probably from him throwing it on tables and at walls when he's angry. I chuckled, this one would get an Otter Box case. The toughest one I could find. I got him a lap top because his old one was outdated. Christmas, for the longest time, was a painful time for me. It wasn't until I was twenty that I actually started to really enjoy it. Every year I had held on to the vain hope that my parents would come on and we'd spend it together like a family. I had tried not to make it obvious when I was younger, but I would go through the mail every day in December looking for a letter or a Christmas card from them but there never was. I would look out the window every few minutes the day before Christmas and on Christmas day but they never came. I did my best to hide my disappointment but they knew. They all knew. That first Christmas with the Reagans, when I was just a kid, Danny had caught me looking out the window.

"What are ya looking for?" I glanced at him before looking back out the window,

"My parents."

"Did they say they were coming?"

"No, but they might. They could be trying to surprise me or something." I hadn't told Danny much about my parents except that they were very busy people and that they traveled a lot. I didn't tell him that it had been four years since I had last seen them and two years since I had even heard from them.

"Kyla, it's almost five and it's Christmas day… I don't think they're coming." I shook my head,

"Christmas isn't over yet Danny. You don't know, they… they could be stuck at the airport or… or in traffic. Maybe they lost your address and they're waiting at home until I get back. Maybe…" I was on the verge of tears as Danny's words sunk in. He was right. It was another year and another Christmas without my mother and father.

"Hey, it's okay…" Gently he pulled me away from the window and I buried my head in his chest, gripping his shirt tightly. I fought off the tears as best I could but a few managed to slip down my cheeks,

"Why don't they come home? Why do they leave me alone… on Christmas, Thanksgiving, my birthday…" My voice sound small and weak and I hated it. I still cried over them and I don't know why,

"I dunno baby girl. I dunno, but I promise you that you won't be alone. You've got your grandparents and you've got the whole Reagan family now." He held me tighter and kissed the top of my head, "We're your family now, okay? And family looks out for one another. So from now on you're gonna have me looking out for ya." I chuckled,

"Is that supposed to be comforting?" He laughed and I smiled a little, "Thank you Danny."

"Anytime baby girl. Anytime."

Danny remained true to his word. Every holiday, big or small, we spent them together. Every birthday and every Christmas from that point on was filled with Reagan's and Williams'. It was stilled filled with Reagan's and Williams' and there was no doubt that it would always be filled with the two families. It seems rather funny now that my family and the Reagan's had spent so much time together and yet it had never occurred that maybe one day along the line our two families would be joined. Yet here we are. Less than a month away from the two being joined. Less than a month away from being Mrs. Reagan. I wonder what my parents would think if they knew? What would they think of me and Danny getting married? They only met him a few times and that was so long ago… would they approve of it? Would they approve of me marrying a man who was almost ten years older than me and was divorced with two sons? Would they approve of me marrying a detective? Probably not. In fact they probably disown me for all of it. I wondered if they even knew what I did for a living. Did they know I became a cop and then a detective? Did they know I had specialized in undercover work? I shook my head, trying to rid myself of those questions that plagued my mind. This wasn't the time to dwell on those. In fact there was no need to ever dwell on them again. They were no longer a part of my life, they made that very clear.

"Hey baby girl, you ready to go?" I looked up at him from my spot on the couch,

"Well that depends, where are we going?" He chuckled before leaning down and kissing me once,

"Nice try, but I'm not telling." I smiled and stood up,

"It was worth a shot."

"You might wanna wear something warm. Like a scarf, gloves, a hat." I gave him a suspicious look,

"Danny, what are we doing?" He merely grinned at me,

"Come on, I'm not gonna ruin the surprise." I shook my head but did as he said and pulled on my coat, gloves, scarf, and hat. I looked at him,

"Am I good?" He chuckled before pulling me close and wrapping his arms around my waist,

"Very good." I rolled my eyes with a smile,

"You are so cheesy."

"Aw, but that's why you love me." He leaned in and softly kissed me. It was sweet and I couldn't help but smile as he pulled away,

"Even after all this time I still like kissing you." He smirked,

"Well, I like kissing you. So I guess it's a good thing then that we're getting married since we both like kissing one another." He kissed me again and I couldn't help but laugh,

"Sarcasm will get you nowhere." He chuckled as he pulled away and took hold my hand before heading for the door,

"Coming from the most sarcastic woman I know."

We drove for about twenty minutes before Danny pulled over. I looked around, trying to get an idea of what we were doing but came up with nothing,

"Danny, where are we?" He chuckled,

"It's a surprise. Now come on, we're almost there." I grumbled as we got of the car,

"You and your surprises." He laughed as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. We walked down the street and around the corner. There in front of me was an ice rink, filled with people,

"Danny?" I looked at him and he smirked at me,

"Come on." He pulled me along until we came to the entrance where there was a rather large line of people waiting to get in. Danny just passed them all, "Hey Pedro!"

"Reagan! Right on time, come on in." He opened the door and I followed Danny in, "Have a good time now."

"Thanks Pedro."

"Thank you Danny." When we were inside I looked at Danny and raised an eyebrow at him,

"I may have helped him out when he was in a jam."

"Uhuh." He chuckled,

"Stay here, I'll be right back." As he walked over to the counter I couldn't help but look around. What the heck were we doing here? I couldn't rollerblade let alone ice skate. My questions were soon answered when he returned holding two pair of ice skates. He grinned at me, "Here you go." He handed me the smaller of the two and I chuckled,

"Uh, Danny, I can't skate."

"I know." I gave him a suspicious look,

"So, why are we here then?" He chuckled as he sat down on a bench and started to pull his shoes off,

"Just put the skates on will ya?" I gave him a look and put my hands on my hips. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before giving me a small smile and clasping his hands together, "Please?" The pathetic look on his face was what broke me. I sighed as I sat down next to him and proceeded to pull my shoes off,

"I don't know why I'm doing this." He chuckled before leaning over and pressing a kiss against the side of my head,

"Because you love me." I pulled on the one skate and started to tie it,

"Mhm, sure."

"Just trust me."

"Alright, I trust you." When we both had our skates on, we made our way over to the ice. I held on to Danny's hand as we made our way over and cursed as my legs started to bend in and out. Danny tried to hide his smirk but I saw it and smacked his arm, "Shut up." He laughed,

"I'm sorry."

"No you're not."

"You're right I'm not."

"I can hardly walk in these things. How do you expect me to be able to skate? I'm gonna fall on my face or something!" He laughed again as we carefully got on the ice. My grip on his arm instantly tightened. I held on to him tightly as we slowly made our way around the rim. We stayed on the rim because I refused to let go of the side.

"Just shuffle your feet, one in front of the other. It's like walking."

"No it's not!" He laughed and my feet slipped a little and I gripped him and the wall tighter to try and stay up. I let out a small shriek and he laughed, "Shut up Danny."

"Ya know, you're gonna have to let go of the wall eventually."

"No I don't."

"Yes you do." Slowly he pried me away from the wall. I tried to pull against him, tried to hold on to the wall as long as I could but Danny was far stronger than me and so I left my stable wall.

"Danny…"

"Relax," He held onto me tightly as he leaned in close and whispered in my ear, "I won't let you fall."

"You'll catch me?" I looked up at him and saw that caring look in his eyes. That warm and tender look that was underneath that hard, stubborn exterior,

"Always." He pressed a soft kiss against my lips before pulling back. Slowly he started to move forward and more or less dragged me along. He chuckled, "You have to move your feet." So I gently moved my feet forward, one in front of the other. "There ya go. See, you're getting the hang of it." I let out a breath I'd been holding,

"Yeah… this isn't so bad. I think I can- AHHHH!" My foot slid a little too far forward and I started to go, but, true to his word, Danny caught me. I had my eyes squeezed shut as my face collided with his chest. I gripped his coat tightly as he steadied me. He chuckled and I felt my face go red, "Shut up." He kissed the top of my head,

"I told you I'd catch you." After repeating the cycle of me almost falling, shrieking, and Danny catching me for almost twenty minutes I started to actually get the hang of it. Well, I got well enough for Danny to let go of me for a bit as long as I moved really slowly. Music was playing through speakers around and there were people skating backwards and dancing on the ice. One of these people happened to be Danny who was showing off as *NSYNC's song It's Gonna Be Me came on. I couldn't help but laugh though as he danced liked a teenager from the eighties. I had seen him dance as a teenager and I had seen him dance as a grown man. I found him attractive either way but the teenage dancing was much funnier. I laughed even harder as he started to sing to it, "But in the end you know it's gonna be me…" I lost it and started to crack up. Truth be known he didn't care for *NSYNC or any of the boybands. He always used to laugh at Erin and I for liking to listen to boybands when we were growing up. But back in the day that was the hottest thing out there. At the end of the song he danced his way over to me before taking hold of my hand and pulling me along. I was still rather nervous about skating but I was enjoying myself all the same. He tried to get me to dance with him but it more or less ended up with me clutching his arms as he pushed us around. Honestly he could've been dancing with a dead body I was that terrible,

"This is crazy!" I laughed, "You are ridiculous you know that?" He smirked at me,

"So I've been told. So, what do you think of your gift so far?"

"So far? There's more?" He nodded, "Well, I really like it so far. More than I thought it would." He grinned at me.

"Good, I wanted to do somethin' different and fun."

"Well, this has been a lot of fun Danny. Really it has."

"Good, I'm glad you like it. But," We made our way out of the rink and over towards a bench, "this is only part of the gift. The rest of this gift is at home."

When we got back home he made me take off my shoes and winter clothes before making me close my eyes. I did as he asked and waited, anxious to see what he would do. I heard a series of clicks before I was told to open my eyes. All the lights were off except the Christmas lights which cast a soft, warm glow over the room and Christmas music filled the air. He grinned as he held his hand out to me,

"May I have this Christmas dance?" I beamed at him as I took his hand,

"Yes, you may."

He pulled me close and slowly we danced. He had every single one of my favorite Christmas songs and by my favorite artists playing. There was Michael Bublé, Matt Goss, and Frank Sinatra. All very smooth very slow songs. It was a simple gift but it meant so much. It was something that I had told him I wanted to do when I was sixteen. I had told him that I wanted to go to a Christmas dance. That there was nothing compared to dancing at Christmas. He remembered. I put my head on his chest and closed my eyes, "I can't believe you remembered." He chuckled as his arms secured themselves around my waist,

"Of course I remembered. Believe it or not but I remember everything you've ever told me." I chuckled,

"Is that so?"

"Well, just about everything." I smiled and a comfortable silence fell over us once again. I don't know how many songs we danced through, nor did I care because I was extremely happy and content to dance the night away with him.

Once we made it through all of the songs Danny pulled me to the couch,

"I'll get us something to drink." I sat down and nodded. He went into the kitchen and while he was gone I grabbed the blanket off of the back of the couch. A few minutes later he came back with a cup of hot chocolate and peppermint coffee. I laughed as he handed me the hot chocolate,

"You just can't give up that coffee can you?" He chuckled as he sat down and pulled me close,

"No I can't. But I am drinking the Christmas coffee."

"Yeah that took me weeks to talk you into getting." He kissed the top of my head with a smile as I covered us with the blanket, "Tonight was amazing Danny. Really, it was. It was a lot of fun and very sweet of you."

"You're a special woman, you deserve a special gift. But, I do have a few other gifts for you." I laughed,

"I thought that this was my gift?"

"It was, but it was just one."

"Danny you didn't-"

"Yes I did. It's Christmas and I want to buy things for my lovely fiancé." I shook my head,

"Stubborn man."

"Stubborn woman." I looked up at him and saw the warm look in his eyes, that feeling of love and tenderness poured out of him. I leaned up and kissed him softly,

"You're a wonderful man Danny Reagan. We could be poorer than poor and I would still want to marry you." He kissed me once,

"So would I. So would I." For the rest of the night we stayed their on the couch, drinking hot chocolate and coffee, and listening to Christmas music.

The next day was chaotic but fun and memorable. Danny and I exchanged gifts before heading over to Linda's to pick up the boys. Danny had loved what I had gotten him, especially the James Bond DVD's. He had yet again managed to surprise me by getting me a collection of old books. There were seven total and they ranged from Edgar Allen Poe to Jules Verne and it even included Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. All had elaborate covers and none were cheap. Not only that but he took my gun and got it repaired, cleaned, and got my new initials engraved on the side: KRR. Normally this isn't a very romantic gesture but for a cop, it was actually very helpful and the books were very sweet.

We bought Linda a bottle of wine since her boyfriend was going to be over after the boys left. It was my idea to get her something and Danny had actually suggested the wine. When we got there the boys came charging out of the house,

"Dad!"

"Kyla!" They threw themselves at us and we caught them in bear hugs,

"Hey!" I kissed Shawn on the head, "How's it going kid?" Sean and Jack were both hyper and rambling about all of the cool new things they got,

"I got a new soccer ball and- oh! Oh! We even got a-a new racecar game!" I couldn't keep from smiling because their grins were so infectious. I looked at Danny who was grinning as well. I couldn't wait to see what their faces would look like when they opened our gifts. Linda had made the boys write a list of what they wanted and then the three of us got together and went over who would buy what, so that way neither of us bought them the same thing twice. Danny leaned down so he was eye level with them,

"Hey boys, why don't you go get your coats and then we'll hop in the car ad go over to grandpa's. Then you can open the rest of your presents." This sent them flying back into the house while Linda stood at the door and laughed,

"They have been so excited all morning to show you guys what all they got." We walked up and met her at the door where we hugged one another,

"Merry Christmas Linda."

"Merry Christmas Kyla." Danny and Linda kissed one another on the side of the cheek, "Merry Christmas Danny." He smiled at her,

"Merry Christmas Linda." I handed her the bag with the wine,

"We got this for you."

"You really shouldn't have." Danny wrapped his arm around my shoulder,

"We wanted to." I nodded,

"We thought you could use it tonight for when your Christmas date comes over." She laughed as she opened the bag. When she pulled out the wine her mouth hung open,

"Wow, guys, this is some high class stuff." I chuckled,

"It was one of my grandmother's favorites. She always served this on holidays so we thought it fitting." She smiled before hugging us both,

"Oh thank you guys. It won't be wasted that's for sure." We laughed as the boy came running out of the house. They each kissed Linda and shouted,

"Bye mom!" Before running for the car. Danny and I laughed,

"We'll see you later Linda."

"Have fun! And tell your family I said Merry Christmas!"

"Will do!" The whole way over to Frank's the boys chattered nonstop about what the got and what they were going to do with them. Danny was grinning from ear to ear and I was smiling as well. I liked this. I like it being Danny, the kids, and I. I liked feeling like a family. Kyle's idea of Danny and I having kids began to creep back into my head and for once I didn't shake it away. I tried to picture myself as a mother and carrying for a baby but I found it rather hard to imagine. It was easy to picture Danny as a father because I had seen him when his boys were born. Heck I helped him babysit before he could do it on his own. But watching a baby or small child for a few hours is nothing compared to having them for at least eighteen years. Danny was a natural as a father, there was no doubt that he could handle it. The thought of the two of us having a child together was almost more than my mind could grasp. A life formed from the two of us, equally him and equally me. Though there is the saying, just because you have children doesn't mean you should have them. Should I be a mother? I was screwed up in the head, that much was certain what with the nightmares and paranoia but could I even have kids? I had been tortured and I was a cop so I had taken a few hits here and there. The thought made me sad actually. I mean it would be nice, if we wanted, to at least have the option of having kids. I mean I didn't know if I wanted them or even if Danny wanted any more but to have the option would be nice.

I was pulled from my thoughts though when I felt Danny's hand on my cheek. I jumped and looked to my right to see him standing there with the passenger door open and a concerned look on his face,

"Hey, you with me?" I looked out the window and saw that we were already at the house,

"Yeah… yeah I just got thinking is all." He held his hand out and helped me out,

"You sat there for quite a while. I said your name three or four times and you didn't even look at me. You looked a little sad too. Care to share?" I smiled at him and kissed him once,

"It was nothing really, just a though was all." He nodded his head though he didn't fully believe me when I said it was nothing. He let it go though and we went in the house for presents and dinner.

There was singing, laughing, and talking all throughout the house. The boys were so excited when they saw all the toys and games they got and gave us both hugs before running around and playing with them. The food and desert were great, as always, and in the end we had a wonderful time. It was another holiday with the family I loved most. And in twenty two days I was going to get the best gift anyone could get, I was going to be married to Danny and spend the rest of my life as his wife.
