"Merry Christmas baby." Peter whispered as Kelly opened her eyes.

"Oh merry Christmas to you too." She leaned her head over and caught his lips in hers kissing him sweetly.

"You want to go open presents?" He asked already knowing the answer.

"Yeah" she nodded.

They each dressed in their robes and walked downstairs holding hands. When they reached the living room Katie and Craig were already there and they had sorted bagels and orange juice for breakfast. The family all sat together taking it in turns to open their presents. There were a couple of presents for Blake and Megan also which Kelly was allowed to open. They were from Katie and Craig and were the cutest little baby outfits, a pram and some teddies. They ate their breakfast before getting ready to go to Melinda and her family's house for Christmas dinner. Kelly after finally picking an outfit and getting frustrated at not being able to fit into she took ages to get ready. She then helped Katie do her make-up and finally they headed out. Peter barely left Kelly's side all day always having to have his hands on her, whether it was around her shoulder, holding her hand or placed on the small of her back.

Most of their friends from work were at the meal and everybody talked away about their plans for the next year.

"Come with me" he whispered to her as everyone was making their way back to the living room after eating.

"Where?"

Peter grabbed her hand and dragged her into the first room he came to. It was the bathroom. He closed the door behind them and pulled him into her kissing her so passionately she felt her legs begin to give way underneath her. How did he do that? When they broke away Peter smiled at her stroking her cheek with one hand.

"What was that for?" She asked.

"Nothing I just felt like it"

Kelly laughed.

"What's funny about that?" He frowned.

"Honey if I kissed you every time I felt like it, we would never stop."

"Well in that case.." He pulled her into him and kissed her again.

Forgetting that they were in someone else's bathroom in a house full of guests Kelly and Peter got lost in each other. His hands slipped up her sides and under her top until they found her breasts. Feeling Peter touch her in all the right places Kelly couldn't help but moan loud especially as his hand slipped right up under her skirt. Kelly's were tangled in his hair as their kisses deepened and they fell to the floor together being careful not to bang their babies.

"OH! EWW!"

Kelly and Peter both looked at the door.

"What is it with me and walking in on you two going at it in the bathroom?" Rachel cried.

Peter removed his hands from their positions on Kelly as she pushed him up before getting up herself. Both of them hot and flushed.

Rachel's eyes glided over them and suddenly she burst out laughing as her eyes met the bulge in Peter's trousers. He quickly realised what she was laughing and grabbed Kelly placing her on front of him and pushing her out the room leaving Rachel behind.

"You could have locked the door!" Kelly half giggled as they went to get Peter cold water from the kitchen.

After they returned to the living room Rachel made a joke revealing that she had for the second time walked in on them making out in the bathroom. This made everyone talk about Rome and when they discovered Kelly and Peter were in love. Neither Kelly or Peter said anything they just sat cuddled on the couch listening to their friends relive their memories.

After the party they went home and watch "Elf" having a good laugh with Katie and Craig. Christmas was over as it was time to go to bed. Everyone had enjoyed the day reminiscing on the past and thinking about their future.

Merry Christmas.

"Kelly come on Baby we're gonna be late!" Peter yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

Kelly had been in the bathroom for almost half an hour. Peter didn't understand why because she already had her make-up done and was glammed up in her new dress already ready for the New Year's party.

"Just coming." She replied from her position on the floor.

She did not feel well. This was the third time she had had a dizzy spell. Of course Peter didn't know, she had hidden it from him, or been alone when one came on. She had never actually fainted but she came close. Kelly picked herself up and splashed some cold water on the back of her neck convincing herself it was one of the symptoms of pregnancy.

-

Peter stood at the far end of the room engaged in conversation with Adam and Ben. It was ten thirty not long now until the end of the year. He glanced around and noticed Kelly sitting on a chair outside alone. Excusing himself from the conversation he went outside to see her.

"Hey, you ok?"

"What?" She looked confused.

"I asked if you are ok. You are out here alone, it's freezing and you look tired." He sat opposite her and ran a hand over her face and through her hair.

"Yeah I'm fine, I just felt hot in there and a bit dizzy." She smiled.

"You're sure?"

Kelly just nodded. Peter wasn't convinced.

"You should go back inside" she spoke after a minute "I'll be in in a minute just going to get a little more air."

"I don't want you to be alone." He reasoned.

"Just go, I'll follow you in a minute."

Peter kissed her head as he got up and them headed back inside to join the party. He resumed conversation with Ben and Adam positioning himself somewhere where he could see Kelly through the glass window.

-

When he looked back she was starting to get up. Relief hit him because he felt bad that she was out there and worried because it was cold. The relief didn't last long. As she rose up off her chair Kelly began to sway slightly from side to side. He took a step forward. She put her hand on the back of the chair to steady herself. Too late, she fell to the ground.

"KELLY!" Peter yelled as he ran towards the door.

Everyone turned to look at him as they watched him throw himself to the ground next to his unconscious wife.

"Kelly? Baby, come on open your eyes" He moved her hair off her face and held it in his hands. "Kelly, come on honey."

"dad?" Craig asked wrapping his arm around a crying Katie.

"Craig go phone 911" he ordered.

Not wanting everyone to see her like this Peter ordered his kids to amuse the crowd until the ambulance arrived.

"Peter?" Kelly's weak voice spoke.

"Hey baby, it's gonna be ok. You're fine"

"The babies?"

"Shhh try not to worry." He sat her up slightly holding her in his arms and held her tight as she rested her head against his chest as she winced clutching her stomach.

It was only then that he noticed the pool of blood.

-

Peter paced back and forth over his own footsteps as he waited outside Kelly's hospital room. His distress was evident as he didn't know what was going on. As the doctor excited her room Peter stopped and froze.

"Mr Gallagher, you may go in and see your wife. We are sure it was just a faint but we are waiting on the test results to see if the babies were damaged in the fall. She's asking for you."

"Thank you." He nodded.

-

"Hey baby, How you feeling?" He asked gently as he climbed onto the bed next to her.

"I'm ok just a bit tired." She smiled. "Sorry if I scared you."

"Aww baby you gave me the fright of my life. I think I aged twenty years in twenty minutes." he joked.

"Well you still look handsome." She stroked his face. "Are they gonna be ok?" Kelly rubbed her stomach.

"Well we are waiting on the results, but believe me when I tell you I am not going to let anything happen to you or them." Peter kissed her hand that he was clutching.

"Come and lie next to me" she pulled him towards her and moved over as Peter lay down and she rested her head in the crook of his neck. They sat in silence for a wee while before Peter glanced at his watch and gasped.

"Oh baby, It's midnight." he looked down as his eyes met hers. "Happy New year"

"Hmmm happy new year honey." She leaned up and kissed him softly on his lips. "I'm sorry I ruined the party and your New Year"

"You didn't"

"I did, if this hadn't happened we'd be having a perfect New Year right now."

Peter ran his hand up and down her bare back that was exposed by her hospital gown.

"Kelly baby, any New Year is perfect, no matter where I am as long as I'm with you."

Kelly smiled and they kissed, A long and passionate kiss. Her tongue begged entrance to his mouth as she licked along his bottom lip before he opened up and let her in. As soon as her tongue met his they brushed against each other causing Kelly to moan and Peter to let out a sigh. A slight knock at the door startled them as they broke their mouths apart and Kelly covered her bare back, once again resting her head on Peter's shoulder.

As the Doctor entered he sighed "Well Mr and Mrs Gallagher I have your test results."

Kelly felt Peter's grip on her tighten as he spoke "And?"

. "I'm afraid it's not great news…"
