Serena sauntered downstairs in her Burberry trench coat and heels. Dan was sat on the sofa reading some book.

"Hi" Serena was lent against the banister. Her trench coat, which ended half way up her thigh, was showing Dan just the write amount of cleavage and where her stockings ended and her flesh started.

"Oh...umm wow" Dan was speechless. Serena was so unbelievably sexy. Her long blonde lock flowed freely, framing her face.

Serena sauntered towards Dan and straddled his lap. She began to kiss along his jaw line and down his neck. Dan placed his hands on her stockings, running his finger along the lace on her thigh.

"Are the girls asleep?" he murmured into her neck.

"Yep, I read Eliza jack in the beanstalk and she nodded right off" Serena lent down and pressed her lips on Dan's neck. Dan ran his hand up along Serena's thigh. She began to undo her coat revealing her floral jacquard slip. Dan sucked in a breath as his eyes wandered over Serena's ample breast. Dan shut his eyes trying to calm himself down.

"Mhmm Serena we can't do this now" Serena looked up through her thick black eyelashes.

"Why not?" she raised her eyebrow quizzically.

"Because we will get too distracted and then we will ruin my surprise, so lets wait and then we can enjoy this later" Dan smiled sweetly at Serena.

"Well your surprise best be worth the wait" Serena slid off Dan's lap and sat beside him resting her head on his shoulder. Dan kissed her forehead and began playing with her hair.

"It will be don't worry" Dan murmured. As the elevator door opened.

"Who's that?" Serena sat up rearranging her hair and covering herself up.

"Hey Serena, Dan" Eric grinned dropping his bags by the cupboard.

"OH MY GOD E! What are you doing here" Serena jumped up from the sofa and hugged her little brother, who she hadn't seen since September.

"Well I am here to help out my dear brother in law and to look after my gorgeous nieces" Eric grinned looking at Dan as Serena turned looking at her husband confused.

"Come on Serena" Dan stood up and grabbed her hand pulling her towards the door.

"Dan wait… what's going on?" Serena dug her heels into the carpet trying to stop Dan.

"Come Serena, it's a surprise." Dan opened the cupboard placing Eric's bag in there and grabbing his shoes, coat and a scarf.

"But Dan, its Christmas eve. Our first Christmas with Liellah, we can't leave the girls. We have to be here for when they wake up" Dan stood up from the tying his laces and took Serena's hands.

"We will be back before the girls wake up don't worry" Serena sighed trusting Dan.

"Okay" Dan grinned.

"Thanks Eric" He called back into the house pulling Serena into the elevator.


The taxi pulled up outside Rufus's gallery and Dan paid the driver and helped Serena out. He had blindfolded her with the scarf once they had got into the taxi. Dan unlocked the door and pulled Serena through the doors.

"Dan I'm really nervous. Where are we?" Dan let go of Serena's hands and turned on all the equipment and lights.

"You will find out in good time. Just don't move" Dan laughed as Serena squeaked in fear.

"Its okay your fine" Dan stood behind Serena and kissed her on the cheek.

"Merry Christmas Serena" Dan undid the blindfold and let it fall in front of Serena.

Serena gasped at the site in front of her. Dan had set up the gallery exactly the same as what she had 4 Christmases ago. Everything was perfect. To the snowfall projection, to the snowflakes stuck on the door. Everything was exactly the same. Serena knew this must of taken Dan ages.

"Oh my god Dan" Serena turned looking into his deep brown eyes which mirrored the same amount of love hers did.

"I can't believe you did this for me"

"Well I just wanted to do something special" Dan led Serena over to the mattress in the middle of the floor and sat down.

"This isn't your only present, this is just a little pre present" Dan grinned at Serena.

"Thank you, so much. This means a lot. This is definitely the best Christmas present" Serena lent forward and kissed him on the lips.

"Oh so you don't want your other presents then?" Dan laughed pulling back from Serena and seeing her pouting face.

"Of course I do"

"Merry Christmas Serena" Dan handed Serena an envelope. Serena looked down hoping it was another story. She opened the envelope and pulled out two tickets.

"Paris?" Serena turned smiling at Dan.

"Yeah, we never got a proper honeymoon because we had to get back to Eliza. We only had 2 nights in a hotel to just spend time together but I thought we could go and you could spend as much money as you want on clothes and shoes and handbags. I know how much you love Paris"

"I can't believe you Dan. You just keep on surprising me. Even though I did think you wrote me another story"

Dan laughed "Wow you're a bit greedy, isn't one best selling book about you enough"

"I can't help but love your stories. I love everything you have done for me Dan. I love this room. The tickets. Thank you for doing this for me. I love you Dan"

"Well it's more for both of us. We have been pretty busy lately and we don't get that much alone time. And I just wanted us to feel 17 again. I wanted to take us back to the night when I realised that me and you were forever. I don't want us to have any worries tonight and I want us to just be able to enjoy ourselves and feel like teenagers again. So tonight you and I are just Serena and Dan. Not mommy and daddy or man and wife. Just high school teenagers again, who are madly in love" Dan smiled softly.

"Well I guess its time for you to unwrap your present then" Serena grinned seductively, pulling Dan's collar towards her and kissing him passionately as she lent back against the bed.


Serena and Dan walked into their home together, hand in hand. They were grinning wildly. Last night was perfect. It was all about them and just enjoying each others company. Serena woke up at 5.30 and decided to wake Dan up so they could go home to their daughters. Eric was passed out on the sofa snoring lightly. The Moses basket from Dan and Serena's room was downstairs next to Eric. Serena led Dan over the basket to look over her sleeping daughter. Serena hugged Dan tightly around the waist. "Shall we take her upstairs and we can sleep until they wake up" Serena glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Yeah come on" Dan gently picked up the Moses basket while Serena draped a blanket over her little brother. Serena opened the stair gate and helped Dan carry Liellah up the stairs without trying to wake her.

Dan placed the starry eyed Winnie the pooh Moses basket on the rocking stand on Serena's side of the bed. Serena sat down on the bed and began to rock Liellah back to sleep after she started stirring. Dan sat next to Serena and wrapped his arm around her waist. Both of them staring at their little girl in silence. The little girls brown eyes fluttered open and she let out a small moan. Serena instantly went into mommy mode.

"Shhh Shhh Shhh shhh baby" Serena moved forward and gently stroked Liellah face, running her finger over Liellah eyelid sending the little girl back into a deep slumber.

Dan loved watching Serena with the girls. She was a perfect mother. Nothing like her mother which she feared she would turn out like. She was devoted to her little angels and Dan knew she would sacrifice anything for them. She had sacrificed a lot for Dan and the girls and he appreciated it so much.

"Come on lets get into bed" Dan kissed Serena on the side of her forehead. He could tell she was sleepy. Dan grabbed one of his t-shirts out of the draw and threw it to her and grabbed her pyjamas bottoms for bed.


Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming.

There are going to be more surprises for serena and dan.

I Hope you enjoy
