A.N. So sorry about not updating sooner, RL just kind of hit me hard these last couple weeks. And I wanted to thank everyone for being patient with me (I know it's not probably not easy) and their great feedback I love reading it. I know I said that I Grace would make an appearance during this part but I just couldn't fit her in so she won't be in this part. And I hope you like the upcoming chapter.

Warning: This part has a touch of sex in it. I don't think there's enough in this chapter for even an 'R' rating, but it's still in there. So just be warned.

Chapter 7

Christmas; 2004

Luis and Hank's Apartment

"I don't know, I think you got ripped off." Kay stands staring up at the tree Luis put up in his and Hank's apartment. Maria was spending the afternoon with Tabitha and Endora, this morning Maria had gotten all her presents from her mother, Luis, and Tabitha.

"What are you talking about, this was the best tree there?" Luis is proud of his tree choice. They had come over to his place so he could get the other presents for his family and to spend a few moments with Kay alone.

The couple along with Maria was first going to go to the Lopez-Fitzgerald's and spend a few hours there opening presents and being with family. Then they would go over to the Bennett's for dinner and yet more presents.

She switches her gaze from the scraggily tree to her boyfriend. If this was the best tree he could get he must have gone to the tree farm really late. "When did you go get it?" Kay presses her lips tight to keep from laughing right out, she doesn't want to hurt Luis's feelings, but the tree was on its last leg.

"Yesterday." He sheepishly tells her. Kay had warned him about getting a tree late, but he just shrugged off her worries and went when they were cheaper. He'd never admit it to Kay but she was right, he should have gone earlier, like two weeks earlier.

"Honey, you know I love you but this tree is trashed." After she says it she realizes her slip up, neither one of them have said 'I love you' yet, she had been determined not to say it first, but she couldn't take it back now.

Luis stops dead in tracks and turned to stare at her. "Did you say you loved me?"

"I was hoping you wouldn't catch that." She scratches her head nervously, and her insecurities come pouring out. "But now that it's out there, yes, I do love you. And it's ok if you don't feel it back, I understand if you can't feel that way about me with…" Kay doesn't get a chance to speak another word, because Luis's mouth is crushed to hers. Flames of desire jump from his lips to hers.

Her tongue seeks refuge in Luis's mouth and he pulls her closer to him as he gently meets her tongue with his. Moments pass until Luis pulls back and stares deep into Kay's eyes, "I love you too." His voice husky with want and need. Without a second thought he swings her up in his arms so she's cradled firmly against his chest and carries her to his room, shutting the door with a kick of his foot.

Three Hours Later

Miguel didn't understand why he had to go find out what was keeping Luis; he could hardly stand the sight of his brother anymore. Kay used to be devoted to him, now it's like he doesn't even exist. Why couldn't Paloma get him, or Theresa, both of them know where Luis lives, but no, Mama wanted him to make peace with Luis…like that will ever happen in the future.

Kay and Luis were supposed to show up with Maria an hour ago, Mama had tired to call Luis and Hank's apartment but got no answer. Well, that's not exactly true there had been an answer, sort of, all Mama heard was the phone not ringing anymore, a groan, and then the dial tone.

That is what prompted his mother to send him walking to his brother's home to find out if everything was alright. Miguel knocks on the front door and rocks back and forth on his feet waiting for Luis to answer, but he doesn't come to the door. He knocks again and again and still no one answers.

Sighing he tries to the doorknob finding it open, he peeks inside the Christmas Tree…if it can even be called that was brightly lit, Luis would have turned off the lights if he had left. Miguel closes the front door and looks around the apartment, nothing seems out of place. "Luis?"

A crash from Luis's bedroom grabs his attention. Quickly Miguel rushes to the closed door and flings it open, there writhing on the bed the covers tangled around their legs are Luis and Kay. Luis's body is on top of Kay's and between her thighs, her legs wrapped tightly around his back, her arms raking down his back and moaning her pleasure over and over.

Miguel couldn't move from his spot at the doorway, they were so into having sex they didn't hear the knocking at the front door, his calling out Luis's name…probably because that's what Kay was doing now. The only reason they heard the phone was because it was on the night stand right next to the bed, or it was, looking there now it's bare except for a lamp.

Not being able to stomach seeing the two of them together he closes the bedroom door as quietly as possible and leaves the apartment. He never thought that seeing Luis with Kay would hit him so hard, but it did, she was supposed to love him forever not fall for his brother.

As he went down the steps that would bring him to the walkway so he could leave the yard he heard, even from outside, Kay and Luis's joined completion. Miguel knows now he'll never get that sound out of his head, it will haunt him, being a constant reminder that Kay was really over him and moving on.

Inside

"Mmm, I don't think I can move anymore." Kay grins giddy at the turn of events, and kisses Luis's sweaty sculpted chest.

He chuckles, "I know what you mean. If I didn't already love you before I definitely love you now." Luis gently rubs the curve of her hip. "What time is it?" He yawns; tired from the long bout of sex he and Kay had, hoping that they might have a couple moments to rest before going over to their parents' house.

Kay sits up and reaches down to where her pants were tossed aside without a thought. She reaches into the pocket and takes out her cell-phone; Luis's clock broke last week and he hasn't gotten a new one yet. "It's…holy shit, we gotta go." Kay jumps out of the bed and Luis just lays there gazing at his lover in confusion.

"Why what time is it? I'm sure we have a few more minutes before we're supposed to be over at Mama's house." He stretches out some of the new aches that his muscles have.

"We were supposed to be there over an hour ago." Kay whips her gaze around the room looking for her thongs that have disappeared. Not finding them she decides to forgo them and jumps into her jeans as Luis hurries into his clothes.

Five minutes later Kay's on the phone to Tabitha letting her know that her and Luis were on their way to pick up Maria. Luis was on his phone calming his mother down, according to Pilar she had sent Miguel over there to find out what was going on but that he hadn't returned yet.

The two made good time getting back to Tabitha's and driving over to the Lopez-Fitzgerald's where Miguel had finally arrived about ten minutes before the couple. Kay and Luis apologized profusely for losing track of time; they spent the rest of the time there wondering why Miguel was giving them glares that could kill.

Theresa and Fox had told them about Gwen and Ethan, they were pregnant with twins and 4 months along, it surprised them that the two would keep it secret for that long, but according to Fox the couple had only found out a month ago. Gwen hadn't even known she was pregnant, she thought it was the stomach flu, but when she started to get the cravings she took the pregnancy test and found out she was. They had a doctor's appointment two days before and the ultrasound showed twins.

After an hour and a half Kay, Luis, and Maria left the Lopez-Fitzgerald residence and made their way to the Bennett's and they invited Miguel to catch a ride with them because he wanted to spend Christmas with Charity. It was obvious that riding with him and Kay was the last thing he wanted to do but since he didn't have any other ride except them he accepted their offer.

As soon as the car pulled to a stop in front of the Bennett household Miguel was unbuckled and out of the car making his way quickly to the front door. "Your welcome!" Luis yells out the open car door.

Kay steps out of the car, opens the rear passenger door, and eases Maria out of her car seat. "I've got the two bags back here, are you ok to get the other presents?" She asks completely innocently.

"I don't know, you wore me out a lot today, I might not even be able to take another step." Luis smirks and unlocks the trunk lifting out four larger presents.

"Ha, ha, I didn't mean it like that and you know it."

A.N. 2: I actually wasn't going to have this be the chapter that Luis and Kay make love, I was going to wait till chapter 8 and I was going to have Miguel walk in on an almost sex moment between Luis/Kay. Then I started to think about that and I didn't want the two to wait for Valentines Day to have sex so I bumped it up a chapter. (I didn't think anyone would mind.) R&R please.

A.N. 3: I just started on another Kay/Luis fic, I only have the prologue done and I won't be posting it till this one is finished. It's a x-over with Charmed and a little Buffy. Hopefully soon I'll have this fic completed and I can begin posting the other one.
