Chapter 12: Christmas Eve/Christmas Day
Helen drove straight to a little baby furniture store. "Why don't we start here?"
"Mom."
"Its ok. Stiles knew this was the plan. He told us to have you pick out anything you want."
Terri didn't know what to say. "He planned all of this?" Terri asked surprised, she really wanted Stiles to be part of this decision, but she would go get some ideas.
Hannah hugged her. "He loves you very much."
After picking out the furniture for the baby's room that Terri liked, she had decided to get Stiles over there after Christmas to get his opinion,. they went into a coffee shop and sat down. Terri noticed Hannah looked a little down and remembered what she had told her at Thanksgiving. "Are you ok?"
"Same as you on Thanksgiving."
Helen put her hand on Hannah's shoulder. "It's still hard to think about?"
"Yes. I still think about what if he didn't come home, and I get sad." She smiled at Terri and put her hand on her cheek. "Helping pick out baby furniture and knowing I'm going to have a grandchild, makes this Christmas much easier." Terri gave her a hug.
They went to a few more stores and lost all track of time. Terri ran into the house nervously and hugged Stiles and began to apologize. "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize what time it was." Stiles put his arms around her and held her close for a minute.
"Did you have fun?"
Terri couldn't believe he wasn't mad, sometimes she forgot that he wasn't at all like Jeff. "Yes. I can't wait for you to see what we picked out. You're not mad?"
Stiles kissed her. "No. I'm glad you had fun. Dinner will be ready in twenty minutes. Kevin called and should be here any time now." Terri still couldn't believe it. "Sit down and relax. It's under control." Stiles walked back into the kitchen. Helen and Hannah just smiled at each other.
Terri followed him, "I love you. Do you know that?"
"Well, I would hope so. We're getting married in a few months and you're going to have my baby." Terri laughed.
"You're amazing."
"No, I'm just in love."
The doorbell rang and Hannah answered it. Kevin and Rick came in. "Where's Terri?"
"In the kitchen." They all answered.
"Oh." Kevin and Rick walked into the kitchen to say hello. Terri was giving Stiles a kiss to thank him. "You two should get a room." Kevin said as he walked in.
Terri just laughed and gave her brother a big hug. "Merry Christmas."
Rick laughed and gave Stiles a hat that had mistletoe on it. "Now, you can kiss her whenever you want, and blame it on the mistletoe."
Stiles just laughed. "Let me try this out." he put the hat on and walked over to Terri and kissed her. "Thanks. This might be my favorite present of all time."
When they came out of the kitchen, Helen looked at Stiles "What is that on your head?"
"See look." He stood next to Terri and gave her a big kiss.
Helen looked at Kevin and Rick "You really don't need to encourage these two." Everyone just laughed.
They all sat down for dinner, everyone had a great time. Helen wanted everyone at her house around 2:00 the next day for Christmas dinner.
The next morning Stiles woke up early. He ran downstairs and got one of Terri's presents and brought it upstairs. "Merry Christmas." Stiles told her as he kissed her. "Here I want you to open this."
"I thought we were going to open presents with your parents downstairs."
"Well there's a story behind it and I wanted to tell you about it. Open it." Terri smiled and she opened it.
"Stiles its beautiful." It was an antique claddagh ring.
"It belonged to my grandmother. Actually its been in the family for years."
"Are you sure, you want me to have this?"
"Yes. Ma, had it cleaned up for you. Since it actually is hers, you should thank her."
"Why?"
"When we were in Ireland last month, I was looking at Claddagh rings, I really like what they mean. Ma, told me that I should give you Gran's it was going to be yours someday. And someday when the time is right you'll give it to our daughter or our daughter in law if we only have boys."
"I love you. Thank you."
"Why don't we go downstairs and get the coffee started. We can open the rest when Ma, Dad and Granddad wake up."
Terri smiled and kissed Patrick when he came down. She smiled and gave Stiles his present. He opened it and smiled. "Granddad helped me pick it out." Terri held it next to hers. "I can see why he really pushed for this one. It matches perfectly." Terri smiled as she got an idea. "Stiles can we use these as our wedding rings?"
"If you want to. I love that idea." Stiles kissed Terri. Hannah smiled she thought that was sweet that they wanted them for her wedding rings.
Hannah hugged Terri. "Ma would have loved that idea."
"Let's go open the rest of the presents." Everyone brought their coffee or tea into the living room and began to open presents.
Stiles and Terri were shocked as they opened the one for the baby from Frederick and Hannah. It was a gift certificate for a baby store that Terri had looked at when they were shopping yesterday. "I want you two to go pick out all the furniture for the baby's room. If that ends up not being enough money you let us know."
"This is too generous. Thank you." Terri gave Hannah a big hug.
Stiles just laughed as he opened the other envelope. "I love this Dad."
"You and I are going tomorrow to use that one."
"What is it?" Terri and Hannah asked at the same time.
"A gift certificate to Toys-R-Us."
Hannah just laughed. "Terri and I are going with you."
"No you are not." Frederick told her. "You two can go shop for baby furniture. A. B., Patrick and I are going to the toy store. Maybe John can join us too?" Terri just smiled and kissed him.
"Well Terri, I guess it will be you, me and Helen tomorrow shopping for baby furniture."
"Stiles?"
"Yes."
"We haven't decided how to decorate the baby's room I picked out some things I liked at the baby store, but."
"Whatever you want, is fine with me."
"I want us to decide together."
"Ok. Do you have any catalogues we can look at?"
"Yes. Thank you." Terri told him as she kissed him.
After all the presents were open it was time to get ready to go to Helen and John's for dinner.
Terri couldn't wait to show Helen the Claddagh ring. Her mother always loved them. The three women quickly headed into the kitchen and worked on dinner, they made plans for their shopping trip the next day.
The men sat down to watch football on television until dinner was ready.
After dinner they all opened their presents from Helen and John. Terri was amazed at all the presents. Helen bought her lots of maternity clothes, and lots of things for the baby. Stiles just smiled. Both Grandmother's were given Italian Charm Bracelets with #1 Grandma charms. Stiles also gave one to Terri that said #1 Mom.
That night Terri and Stiles sat in bed going through the catalogues to pick out a theme for the baby's room. Stiles truly wanted whatever Terri wanted. All he wanted was for her to be happy. They heard a knock on the door. "Come in." Frederick walked in. "A. B. I found this up in the attic, I wanted you to have this."
Stiles looked at it and smiled. "My Winnie the Pooh."
"That was your absolute favorite stuffed animal when you were little." He smiled at Terri. "He wouldn't sleep unless it was with him, even when he was just a baby. Your Ma got it all cleaned up for you. I think your son or daughter would like it."
"Thanks Dad." Terri kissed him on his cheek and smiled.
"I can't believe he saved it." Stiles smiled.
"Look." Terri said as she turned the page in the catalogue. "Winnie the Pooh?"
"I like it." Stiles told her and kissed her.
"Good. We'll decorate with Winnie the Pooh." Terri curled up next to Stiles after she turned off the light. "Good night. I love you."
"Me too. Good night Love." Terri smiled as he wrapped his arms around her
