Chapter 74:

Isabel turned her head around and shivered.

"What's wrong baby", said Alex rubbing his hand up and down her back.

"Just got a chill I'm fine, baby", said Isabel kissing her husband.

She was still sitting on his lap at her wedding reception. She looked at her family and smiled but she couldn't shack the chill.

"It's alright Isabel", said Alex sensing her anxiety. Isabel smiled at him and put her head on his shoulders.

"Your right we will worry about it later", said Isabel turning her attention back to her parents.

Kivar sat down on the table closet to the back and looked with disgust the loving couples.

"I'll get you all, especially you Zan, I will kill your queen or just rape her until she screams, which ever I'm in the mood for", thought Kivar walking out of the wedding reception.

He turned around one more time and looked at his Vilondra. He didn't care what they told him, Isabel Evans was Vilondra and he will get her in his bed and then destroy her brothers.

"Alex put me down", giggled Isabel as Alex picked her up and walked her over the threshold.

"Princess I have to cross over the threshold with you, you're my bride", said Alex kissing her lips slowly.

He placed her on his bed gently. His mother, in fact, decorated the whole room with candles and brought new sheets fit for a princess. Alex lit up each individual candle while Isabel went to the bathroom to change. Alex turned on some music softly in the background and took off his tie.

"Umm Alex", said Isabel behind him.

He turned around and almost fell to the ground. Isabel stood in front of him wearing nothing but a red teddy and red high heeled shoes.

"My God, princess you look amazing, sexy", said Alex walking towards her and putting his hands on her trim waist.

Isabel smiled at him and opened the buttons to his shirt slowly. She brushed his shirt off his shoulders making it land on the ground behind him. She took off his wife-beater t-shirt looking at his now trim body. Alex had been working out with the guys and it really paid off. He wasn't the same lanky guy anymore he was her strong prince.

"Alex you look amazing", said Isabel unbuttoning his pants and pulling down the zipper of his pants making it land on the floor softly.

He hooked her thumbs into the sides of his boxer and pulled that down too. She looked down at his erect penis and licked her lips slowly making Alex groan low in his throat.

"Isabel don't do that, don't look at me that way", said Alex.

Isabel smirked at him and brought her hand to his manhood and stroked is slowly.

"Oh God", said Alex moaned and pinching the bridge of his nose trying to stay still.

He couldn't though. He thrust in her hand. He nearly fell to the floor again because she put her hot mouth onto her penis and sucked slowly.

"Isabel, oh god", moaned Alex She was so good at this.

He was happy she only did this for him, that she only gave her body to him. He never felt so possessive before, put this girl, no this woman was his in every way. He in his mind thought this is mine while looking down at the woman that had her mouth on his manhood. He pulled her up though because he wanted to lose himself in her body rather then in her mouth.

"I want to be in you, Isabel not like this", said Alex kissing her mouth while rubbing her soft behind.

Her body was amazing to say the least. He pulled the straps down her body taking off her teddy and stood back looking at her soft ample breasts, her nipple rings shone brightly and he bent down and took her nipple into his mouth making her moaning. He licked them and the valley between her breasts. Isabel clutched his shoulders trying to calm her racing heart. He was so gentle with her while she felt violent. She wanted him so badly. Alex picked her up dropping her softly on the white silk sheets. He looked down at her lovely face and fell more deeply in love with her again.

"I love you Isabel", said Alex as he opened her legs and slid gently and slowly in her waiting body.

She gasped at the sensation. It was like coming home for the first time. It was amazing to say the least. He moved slowly into her waiting heat making her gasp every thrust in.

"Alex", whispered Isabel clutching his shoulders.

He began thrusting faster and harder into her body making her miss every other breath. Isabel had tears in her eyes because it was beautiful, they were not having sex, they were making love. She was making love to her husband. Alex felt it coming, the ultimate orgasm and had to make sure that Isabel was with him. He reached down and rubbed her clit slowly in a counterclockwise direction making her vagina walls contract onto his hard member.

He felt it in his balls and released his cum into her body with a loud growl, "Oh god, Oh god", Alex kept repeating over and over again.

"Oh goddd, Alex", screamed Isabel wrapping her long legs around his waist.

He kept thrusting until he couldn't feel his legs anymore and fell on her body.

"My god Isabel", said Alex burying his head next to her neck.

He lifted his head and found Isabel asleep. He smiled. He kissed her forehead drifting off into a soundless sleep.

Christmas Day:

Serena woke up at 9:00 in the morning. She had gotten the day off. She walked into her living room to find her parents sipping hot cocoa with Peter already trying to take a peek at his presents that Kal brought form California for them to opening.

"Hey mom, dad, Peter, you can open your presents now, everyone should be here this afternoon so open only yours", said Serena kissing his cheeks.

His smile widen.

"Thanks Rena", said Peter jumping up and down.

Kal laughed at his son and hugged his wife. This was a good day.

"Dad I got your presents under there with mom also so you can open them, I think Michael and the others combined their money and got both you and mom something, it's the big box" said Serena walking into the kitchen to find Michael cooking breakfast.

"Merry Christmas", said Serena kissing his cheeks.

"Hey, Merry Christmas, Peter has been waiting to open his gifts, let's go in there", said Michael turning off the stove.

Serena nodded her head and followed him there. He was already dressed. Diane had asked him to come over early in the morning to spend Christmas with them. Diane had asked Serena too but she said she had to spend time with her parents and little brothers and would probably see her later. Michael opened all his gifts. Kim brought him clothes and Kal got Michael a TV for his room. Serena brought him a DVD player for that TV. Peter was having a ball. Serena and Michael brought him action figures and some type of car thing that went through a maze that Peter found exciting. Kal went overboard buying his kids stuff. He brought Serena clothing that she knew her mother helped with. He brought her a TV also and gave her loads of cash. He brought out Toys R Us for Peter every game and toy imaginable was sitting in their living room. The only gifts that weren't open were the gifts the gang was going to exchange with one another and another set of gifts for their significant others.

"Kal you went crazy there, huh", said Michael looking at the expense diamond necklace that Kim was wearing.

"I know I just wanted to make some stuff up you know, a new slate", said Kal. Serena smiled at him.

"You didn't have to do that, you loving us is enough", said Serean hugging him afterwards.

"Well I got to go, Mom wants me over there to open gifts and such", said Michael putting on his coat.

Serena tossed him her keys and he said, "Thanks see you guys later".

Everyone nodded their heads and went to get some breakfast.

Michael arrived at the Evans house and Phillip opened the door.

"Merry Christmas Dad", said Michael.

Phillip hugged him and let him set into the house. Isabel was already there. Alex was spending time with his family and would be by there later.

"Merry Christmas, Michael", said Diane hugging her son.

"Merry Christmas mom", said Michael handing her, her gift.

He had already given Phillip his gift. It was a tool box with every tool imaginable in it. Phillip liked working with his hands so Michael thought it would be good. Phillip loved it.

"Thanks, come open yours", said Diane walking into the perfectly decorated living room thanks to Isabel.

She found Max, Zan, and Isabel already opening gifts.

"Merry Christmas Michael", said Isabel hugging him.

"Merry Christmas, Mrs. Whitman", said Michael laughing.

"Shut Up", said Isabel. Michael took a seat next to Max and surprised him by giving him a hug.

Michael turned to Zna and did the same thing.

"Okay who are you and what have you done to the real Michael?", asked Zan smiling. Michael glared but shrugged his shoulders.

"Alright unto the presents I have gotten some good ones so far", said Michael taking the one that Max gave him.

The spent the rest of the morning talking a laughing like a real family.

"It's Christmas Morning Kyle wake up", said Ava hovering over him looking down.

"Man it's too early", said Kyle trying to cover his head.

Ava pulled it down.

"Come on", said Ava pulling him out of bed.

The rest of their family was already in the living room. Maria was passing out the gifts to be opened. Jim was taking pictures. This was his first true Christmas. Even though Tess tried it wasn't real, this one was definitely real. Ava opened her gifts and was smiling through the whole thing. This was her first real Christmas and it was beyond exciting. Amy took pictures and they sang songs and later they were all going to Serena's house to open their secret Santa gifts together.

Liz was also having the best day. Her parents closed the Crash Down in the morning and she and her parents enjoyed the opening of gifts and the traditional watching of their favorite Christmas movies.

Alex's Christmas was very important because they had their son back. Alex stayed with them and insisted that Isabel went to see her parents. His mother cooked a grand breakfast while him and his father watched TV. They opened their gifts together and felt the Christmas spirit in the house that was soo dead with Alex was dead. It was wonderful to be here like this.

Later that night, Kim and Kal took Peter out to dinner. The whole gang was coming over to spend some time together. Isabel and Alex were going on their honeymoon tomorrow to Mexico and they wanted to spend this day together. Serena heard the gang walking into her house. She walked out of her room.

"Hey guys, Merry Christmas", said Serena.

"Merry Christmas, baby", said Zan kissing her forehead.

She smiled at him. This was their first Christmas together as a couple.

"Alright you want some egg nog?", asked Serena.

Everyone nodded their heads and got comfortable in the living room discussing all the presents that they got this Christmas.

"I got a new TV from Serena's parents", said Michael.

"Cool man this year was great on the present front", said Kyle hugging Ava in his lap.

"I don't care about the presents this Christmas was great", said Ava smiling.

Serena returned with a pitcher of Egg Nog and everyone went down to business.

"Alright let's open these gifts now", said Michael pointing to the stack.

Everyone retrieved the presents that they have brought.

"So how we going to do this?", asked Liz.

"How about we go one at a time", suggested Alex.

Everyone agreed to that. Max got up and walked to Serena giving her a box. She smiled and kissed his cheek. She opened it and found purple bed sheets.

"Thanks Max I love them, these are going on my bed tonight", said Serena getting up and kissing his cheeks.

She handed him his presents.

"I got you", said Serena.

Max smiled and opened the box. He looked inside and found a book on constellations. He smiled at that. He saw another small box that look like it would hold a chain. He opened it and gasped. Inside was a large ruby attached to sliver chain. Actually there was two ruby chains in it. One looked like it was made for a woman and another for a man. His symbol the swirl held the ruby in place for both chains.

"Serena this is, wow", said Max looking at it in awe.

"Actually it is yours, well it was King Zan's it was originally one big ruby, but I made it split in two so you could give one to your queen, it's from Antar, the kings wore it, my father gave it to me, it belongs to you", said Serena smiling.

Max smiled at her.

"That's from Antar?", asked Michael.

Serena nodded her head. Max got up and hugged her.

"I love it", said Max.

He walked up to Liz and placed one of the chains around her neck.

"My queen", said Max smiling.

Liz smiled at him and looked down at the chain. It was beautiful.

"Alright my go", said Michael.

He walked up to Liz and gave her his gift. Liz opened it to find a leather bound journal that had a lock and key.

"SO you know, no one can read your thoughts", said Michael.

He was nervous about it. He didn't ask any one for help this was his doing.

"I love it Michael, this is amazing", said Liz hugging him.

Liz got her present and went over to Alex and handed him small box. Alex opened it to find a stack of blank CDs and one that had songs on it.

"Someone had recorded the Halloween party when the Whits were playing so its your list fo songs", said Liz.

Alex smiled and kissing her forehead.

"Thank you this is great", said Alex.

Alex got his present and walked over to Ava that was sitting on Kyle's lap.

"I know how much family means to you, so here", said Alex.

Ava opened the wrapping. It was a family album with all of them in it. It was decorated nicely and it brought tears to Ava's eyes.

"Thank you this is perfect", said Ava flipping though the book.

It had every event in it. Isabel smiled at Alex proudly. He didn't ask for help on that one. She had seen it and was excited when he told her what is was for. Ava got up and walked up to Zan. Zan smiled at her when she handed him his present. It was in a small box. He opened it and found all types of earrings.

"I know you like to change them up a little bit", said Ava.

"Must you encourage him", said Isabel laughingly rolling her eyes.

Zna stuck his tongue out at her.

"I love it Ava, thank you", said Zan looking at the two diamond stud earrings and one he assumed was for his eyebrow.

Zan got up and walked towards Maria and handed her his gift. She was already jumping in her seat. It was a rather large box. She looked inside and found CD player inside with a jazz box set.

"Oh Zan this is amazing", said Maria hugging him tightly.

"I love it, thank you", said Maria teary eyed.

Maria got up and went to Kyle. Handing him her gift. He opened it and found two play station two games.

"Thanks Maria this is amazing, but I don't have play station two yet", said Kyle.

"But I love it anyway", said Kyle.

Maria looked at Ava and they smirked at each other. Kyle went to Isabel and gave her present. It was planner with all the trimmings.

"SO you can always be on top of the planning", said Kyle.

He got her a lovely pen also.

"Thank you this is great", said Isabel already flipping through it.

Isabel walked up to Michael and gave her gift to him. He opened it and smiled wide. It was a box set of Metallica songs.

"Must you encourage them to listen to that music", said Zan looking at Serena already helping Michael flip through that CDs.

"Thanks Isabel this is great", said Michael.

"Alright the next set of gifts", said Serena.

She got up and handed Zan this case. Zan looked at her curiously. He opened it and his mouth dropped opened it was a guitar.

"Oh my god, Serena this is amazing", said Zan already plucking at the strings.

"I know you love to play, so, I thought this would be a great present", said Serena.

He kissed her soundly. Zan walked up the Christmas tree and handed her a smaller box. She opened it and smiled. It was a digital camera.

"I know it's not only a hobby to you", said Zna.

"I love it", said Serena kissing him.

"Any one else need some egg nog?", asked Kyle.

"I do let me help", said Liz.

"You ready?", asked Liz when they got into the safety of the kitchen.

"Yeah I'm nervous but this is right", said Kyle.

"I'm happy for you", said Liz.

Serena had dimmed the lights and the fire was roaring in the background. Michael got up and handed Maria two envelopes.

"Here, I love you", said Michael.

She looked at both envelopes and opened one and squealed loudly.

"What is it?", asked a curious Ava.

"It's one hundred hours at a studio in Santa Fe recording music", said Maria kissing Michael all over his face.

"Thank Thank", said Maria still squealing.

"Alright open the other one", said Isabel.

She smiled at Michael she already knew what was in the other envelope. Maria calmed down and opened the other envelop. This one brought tears to her eyes.

"Well what is it?", asked Ava.

"It's a trust fund for Michaela, our daughter,", said Maria teary eyed.

She kissed Michael softly.

"Oh God Michael this is amazing", said Maria.

Serena smiled at Michael.

"Big Bro that was a great idea", said Serena.

"Now my turn", said Alex.

He handed her a box. She opened it and found a CD and sheet of music, and a gift certificate for $300 to her favorite store in the mall.

"Thank you", said Isabel smiling at him and kissing his mouth softly, she looked down and knew that the CD held the song that was written on the music sheet, he wrote her song.

"Your welcome beautiful", said Alex.

She had already given him her present. It was a new laptop. Everyone already saw it. Maria got up and handed Michael his gift. It was in a large box. He opened it and saw loads of art supplies.

"For your craft, the canvases are in your room in your messy closet it wasn't so hard to hide them", said Maria smiling.

Michael smiled and kissed her softly. It was all the thanks she needed. Liz gets up and hands Max and small box. He opened it and found the Swiss army knife she had given him the year before and smiled. He looked in the box again and pulled out this book. He opened and read the top.

"It's you family tree, who your relatives were, I got most of the info from your mom in a dream, and of course Langley", said Liz.

He pulled her close and kissed her lips.

"Thank you this is amazing", said Max.

He looked down under his and Liz name and saw she had typed in baby Xan's name as well as Claudia their future daughter.

"My gift is too big so come on", said Max.

He looked at Serena who smiled and walked them to her room. Everyone was curious to what Max could have gotten Liz. When Liz walked into the room she gasped. It was a crib, with loads of baby stuff in it, bottles, toys, diapers, etc. She walked over to it and touched it slowly. She had tears in her eyes. She saw the blanket. Max's symbol was sewn into it. It was beautiful. On the side was a chancing table and on the changing table was a house.

"My mom gave it to me when I was young, remember I told you, well Liz you're my home, so here", said Max handing it to her.

"We will keep this stuff in one of the guest rooms, until we move, so your parents won't know your pregnant yet", said Serena.

Liz smiled and nodded her head. She kept staring at the crib. Her baby would soon sleep in there. It was amazing. They walked back into the living room where Ava handed her gift to Kyle. It was a huge box. He ripped it open and gave a "Whoop, PlayStation two baby", said Kyle kissing his girl.

Everyone laughed when he spun her around. "Now you can play the games I got you", said Maria.

"Now its my go", said Kyle.

Everyone smiled. Ava looked at him and felt

his nervousness.

Kyle bent down in front of her and she looked at him confused until he pulled out the box holding a ring. Her hands flew to her mouth.

"Ava I love you more everyday, I can't live without you, you're the air that I breath, you're my family, something I always needed and wanted, I never knew that I had a piece of my soul missing until you walked in a filled that piece in. You already part of the family, this just makes it more legal. This is something I told you I wanted to do since the first day I meet you at the granolith chamber, the day that my life changed for the better, So Ava will you marry me and make me the happiest man on any planet", said Kyle.

Ava nodded her head while tears spilled form her eyes. Kyle slipped the ring onto her finger and got up and kissed her tears away. Everyone smiled and Alex gave his infamous thumbs up.
