I don't know why Christmas is the holiday I wait for the most , but I can tell you why I love it so much .

Growing up I always loved waiting for Santa to come deliver presents and eat my cookies .

My mom would always tell me to sleep because Santa wouldn't come and u would fall right asleep.

As I got older I realized it was just my mom and dad who put presents under the tree and When I was 16 I realized I wanted to be a mom more than anything.

Being a mom would be one of my top things When I grow up.

Now I have two beautiful, amazing kids who wait for Santa to come .

It's Allison's second Christmas and this year with her toddling everywhere it's even more meaningful.

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays because it brings people together.

Owen always knew Christmas was my favorite holiday, my first Christmas back from Iraq I spent with him and my work friends .

Year after year I wound up at his house with him or he would come to mine for Christmas.

When it was time for me to move to Germany and he couldn't be near we would FaceTime or Skype with his mom .

After Allison was born that first Christmas was so beautiful but I was hiding a huge secret from Owen that destroyed us.

I betrayed him and I never meant to hurt him .

I let my fears get the best of me and now We sleep in septet rooms, he gets one child up and I get the other one up .

Everything has a pattern including mine , this year with Covid we made sure to be home with the kids and everything was so beautiful.

Teddy got little Allison in her car seat with Leo in her car .

She was taking them to get Christmas ornaments and do holiday traditions.

She had no idea that Owen would get a Christmas ornament for them this year .

Teddy sat in the car waiting, Owen on the other hand was ready to be stuck in the car with teddy for an hour abs get to talk to her , they haven't really talked since the indecent 5 weeks ago .

Teddy was sitting on the couch watching tv in her hotel room .

She was watching Macy's thanksgiving parade on her tv , she had ordered pizza as she didn't feel like cooking .

when she heard the door ring she ran to open it and it was opened without takeout

" hey can i come in ? I brought pizza " he gave her the smile that always wins her over .

Teddy nodded and let him in and sat down, she sat on her queen size bed.

She looked at him and got a slice of pizza " so what are you doing here ?" she asked and watched him walk to her.

" I came for this " he kissed her deeply putting the pizza on the ground and flipped them so he was on the bed and she was on his lap.

Teddy was surprised and kissed him back.

She began to take her shirt off and kissed his neck, owen had given her room to kiss his neck as he pulled her underwear off with his pants.

Teddy started to moan as he went in her.

Teddy gaps not caring that he didn't have a condom or she was on birth control.

She needed him more than ever these last few months.

Teddy begame to moan and was close " fuck dont stop owen" she moaned louder and it made owen go fastener.

" how bad do you want me ?" he whispered seductively .

Teddy moaned louder and he flipped them " b b bad " she came undone moaning loud turning owen on even more as he unclipped her bra and felt her up.

Owen didnt just have sex with her he made love to her all night for hours like they did in germany.

He made sure to make her feel loved that night, he missed that sound only he needs to hear from the love of his life.

After hours of passionate sex they laid all sweaty nect to eavh outrher, teddy was half asleep and owen was playing with her hair.

He smiled and slept next to her, when he woke the next day she was gone.

Teddy drove to the christmas store and put ally in the wrap while leo was in the single stroller.

Teddy walked with Leo getting a truck ornament with him.

Meanwhile Owen was at the couple section and got a engaged little ball ornament and made sure it was a secret from teddy.

Christmas fastly came upon them and Teddy made sure all the gifts were all there ready .

Owen had put the ring in his pocket.

He walked down stairs with Leo and ally " look leo Santa came"

Leo Just screamed and ran to the pile and started opening gifts .

When he was all done there was one left but Teddy was going to wait Until Owen was ready for it .

Owen had walked to her " teddy Can you come with me " she nodded softly and walked to their room that was decorated with everything under the sun .

Owen looked at her and got on one knee holding her hands

" Teddy, I have loved you since the first day that I have met you.

You have made me a better man and your someone that I can talk to when things get hard and your my shoulder to lean on.

I could ask for a better partner you showed me that there is so much more to life.

You make me smile and laugh and you are an amazing mom to Leo and I know that we are meant to be together.

I couldn't imagine my life without you and I don't ever want to try to imagine it without you.

I can't wait to build a life and a future with you.

All I want is for us to be a family and live life to the fullest.

I know that I've made plenty of mistakes in life but loving you was not a mistake it was a blessing I fell in love with you and I don't want anyone else but you.

You are the one I want to wake up next to, the one I want to make memories with, the one that I want to go to sleep with and most of all you're the one.

I know we are gonna have our ups and downs but the important thing is that we stick Together and love each other through the hard times and I'm willing to do that because you are everything to me and our family means the world to me.

You are so perfect in so many ways Teddy and each and everyday I will tell you that because your perfect.

I love you and I will always love you.

I know you cheated and I know you felt I was going to choose Amelia and I won't ever .

I love you more than anything " He pulled the ring box out and opened it. "So Theodora Grace Altman will you be my wife?" He said as he looked at her.

Teddy nods and cry's kissing him

" I love you so much . ''

she held his face as he put the ring on her and handed him one last gift.

'' I was going to wait until I Was sure .

" she watched owen open it and it was a positive pregnancy test with a little unsie

" your pregnant??" Teddy nods " were pregnant " she kissed him ready to start the next chapter with him.
