Chapter Five- Christmas Day
Christmas Day was finally here! Dan and I were woken early by Anthony running into our room and shouting:
"Mummy! Daddy! Santa's been! Santa's been! He remembered where I was!"
Dan chuckled, rubbing sleep from his eyes. "I told you he would, son!"
"Can we opened them? Can we?" he asked, jumping up and down, pulling on the bed covers. I sat up and yawned.
"Come on then." And we all went into Anthony's room. Anthony eagerly opened his presents, gasping in delight when he saw what he had got. There were lots of toys, a couple of books and some DVDs. Anthony pulled out the last one from the bottom of his stocking.
"What could this be?" he asked as he started to pull off the wrapping paper. Dan looked at me confused. I smiled back, he hadn't seen me wrap this one up for good reason.
"Mummy?" Anthony asked looking at me, "Is Santa getting me a little brother or sister?" Dan smiled as he realised that this was to do with the new baby.
"Well, is that ok?" I asked nervously.
Anthony thought for a minute, "Would I have to share my room?" he asked.
"No. I shouldn't think so." I replied, smiling slightly.
"Then, it's ok! I'd love a little brother or sister!"
I breathed a sigh in relief. "That's really good!"
"When?" he asked.
"Should be sometime around May. Might even be the end of April."
"Cool!" and he came and gave me a big hug.
We had a very nice morning. We had breakfast together round the table. It was scrambled egg and bacon off the turkey. Then we all got dressed and did the presents under the tree. I had gotten Dan some new clothes and a new watch, along with the news that he was going to be a dad again. Dan got me some new pyjamas and some new books including 'Inferno' and 'Sully'. He also got me some smelly things for the bathroom. Together, we had bought Anthony some chocolate, some new clothes because he was steadily outgrowing the ones he was in now. We also bought him a new bike, but that one was at home. He would see it when we got home. Dad was currently looking after it for us. From Anthony and Karen, Dan and I got some shopping vouchers and Anthony got some chocolate and books. That's all that we had brought out with us. The rest we had left under our tree at home to open when we got home. Dan then started to cook the Christmas lunch and I 'FaceTimed' everyone at home to wish them a happy Christmas. Soon Anthony and Hamish were comparing presents and Amber, Phoebe and the others were joining in so we left them to the rest of their day.
Anthony and I curled up on the sofa together and read some of his new stories.
"Mum?" he asked, looking up at me.
"Yes, Anthony?" I replied.
"You won't love me any less when the new baby comes?"
I smiled at him, "Of course not. You'll always be loved so much by me and Daddy. You're special Anthony, you were my first and you're my baby boy. Always will be. The new baby won't change that."
"Promise?"
"I promise. And you'll have to have lots of love for the baby. It's going to need someone to help it and show them how to be a good boy or girl. They'll look up to you and love you so much. Can you promise to help mummy out?"
Anthony nodded eagerly. "I'll be the best big brother in the world. I'm going to be better than Hamish by far!"
I laughed, "Not everything is a contest with your Uncle, you know!" Anthony laughed too.
Dinner was lovely. As with every Christmas, we ate too much and lapsed into a food coma on the sofa. At around three in the afternoon, Dan suggested that we go for a family walk. So we all wrapped up and headed out into the snow. We headed to a park that we had found and built snowmen and made snow angels. We had a fantastic snowball fight but all too soon, we had to call it a day and head back inside because it was getting late.
We all had hot baths and hot cocoa to warm us up. Dan kept suggesting something else but Anthony was still up. We had left over turkey sandwiches for dinner and sat in front of the fire playing games until Anthony fell asleep in my lap during a game of monopoly. Dan carried him into bed. I packed up the game and sat on the sofa with my hands tucked under my chin.
"Whatcha thinking bout?" he asked.
"Nothing much." I replied, "Just remembering our first Christmas with Anthony."
Dan came and sat by me. "That was 5 years ago now. Can you believe it?"
I shook my head. "And next Christmas will be even better because we will have two children to spend it with."
"And we'll be at home."
I looked at him, "Haven't you enjoyed being here?" I asked worried.
"Of course I have." He replied, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, "But I also like being at home with my family and it'll be nice for this one's first Christmas, "he placed a hand on my lower abdomen, "If we were all at home together."
I smiled, "That would be lovely." I replied. "We could do Christmas at our place for the first time."
"Hmm, sounds nice." He replied, though by now, I don't think his mind was on the plans for next Christmas. I smiled, coyly.
"We could have dinner on the roof and instead of turkey, we could have boiled socks!" I looked at him.
"Whatever you say, dear." He replied, starting to kiss my neck.
"Dan!" I said, pushing him away and laughing.
"What?" he asked, looking concerned.
"Will you get your brain back here on earth?" I smiled.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well, so far you have just agreed to have Christmas dinner next year on the roof with boiled socks instead of turkey!"
"I did?"
"Yes!"
He paused for a minute. "Sorry," he said, "my mind was elsewhere."
"I figured that one!" I said, standing up.
"Whe-where are you going?" he asked.
"You'll see." I smiled back at him. I walked over to the fire and turned my back to him. I began to unbutton my top and slowly lowered my top over my shoulders. I laughed a little as I heard Daniel's reaction. My hands moved to my waist and I unbuttoned my jean button. I wiggled out of them and kicked them to one side.
I then turned to face Dan, who to my amazement had stripped down to his pants. I smiled.
"Glad to see we are on the same page Mr Holmes. I was beginning to worry."
He laughed, "You were beginning to worry? You were banging on about turkey's!" he walked over to me and placed his arms around my waist. I looped my arms around his neck. He pulled me closer and looked right into my eyes. I instantly felt my legs grow weaker.
"I'm so glad I fell in love with you, Abigail."
"I'm so glad you turned out not to be a giant dick!"
"Hey!" he said, pouting.
I kissed him quickly. The kiss deepened quickly and became more intense and passion-filled. Dan's hands wandered up my back and unhooked my bra. My hands wandered south and pulled his pants down. He then pulled my panties off. Somehow, we made it onto the floor.
Gently, Dan laid me on my back and proceeded to kiss from my neck to my nether regions. In seconds, Dan had me writhing and cursing. Slowly, he let a finger penetrate me and I cried out. His other hand moved up my body to cup one of my breasts. I sighed softly. They were starting to become tender and Dan's hand was just the thing I needed. After a while, he placed his mouth around my breast and sucked gently. This combined with his fingers meant that it wasn't long until I had my first orgasm of the night.
Once I had calmed down slightly. I grabbed Dan's penis and pumped it quickly. Soon he was the writhing mess and I flipped us over. Slowly, I lowered myself onto him and started to move. Suddenly Dan pushed me off. I looked at him questioningly. He pulled me off the floor and lifted me onto him. I gasped audiably and moaned. He then backed me into the wall next to the fire. I wrapped my legs around his waist and pulled his head closer so I could kiss him. As I was kissing him, his thrusts got deeper and harder. He took his hands from my waist and moved them back to my breast, cupping them and massaging them. I moaned louder and moved against him faster. He knew and I knew that we both weren't far off climaxing. A few thrusts later and I came for the second time that night. A few seconds later and I felt Dan cum too. We stood there for a few seconds sighing and kissing each other. Then Dan helped me off the wall and carried me to bed. We made love for the second time and then I fell asleep in Dan's arms, contented.
