Chapter 15- Christmas
The next morning after their beautiful wedding Alyssa rolled over and smiled at the beautiful man laying next to her. "Good Morning my beautiful wife" he said slowly opening his eyes to look at her and she smiled "Did you sleep well my wonderful husband?" she asked, "I will never get used to hearing that" he said leaning up to kiss her. "We have to get to cooking love if we are going to feel all those people" Alyssa said attempting to get up, Paul was at her side in a flash helping her up since it was beginning to get hard with the extra baby weight and all. They walked into the kitchen and after having a quick breakfast they began to cook for the Christmas dinner that was to be held at their house later that evening. The phone rang just as Alyssa sat down to take a break and she said "Paul, honey can you get that?" She heard him talking to someone before he came into the kitchen and handed her the phone. "SO! Do you need me to bring anything Mrs. Hach?" Emily said on the other line and Alyssa smiled at the reference to her last name "I think we have it all covered but you know how the pack eats so feel FREE to bring more. I am doing the turkey a bit different from what ya'll may be used to but HEY it's a southern thang." she said just noticing her accent for the first time and laughed "Sorry that sounded REALLY country right then" She heard Emily laugh on the other end "We still love you Alyssa, country bumkin and all" she said causing Alyssa to crack up even harder "I'll see you in a few hours Emily, I have to get back to work." Alyssa managed to say between laughs and they hung up.
After cooking most of the day, Alyssa send Paul out to buy a turkey fryer and she went to go lay down for a while. About an hour later Paul was gently shaking her awake and she smiled up at him "Hey sexy!" she said causing him to smile even wider "How was your nap, sweetie?" he asked and Alyssa slowly sat up to give him a kiss "Wonderful. I need to go start the turkey" she said and Paul stopped her "It's taken care of beautiful" he said kissing her forehead "Charlie called earlier and told me how to do it once I told him you were taking a nap and all." Alyssa kissed him once again before helping her up and to the bathroom before they both headed back into he kitchen to finish cooking and getting every thing ready for dinner. Paul broke out more tables and chair he had in the basement for get-togethers and set them up in the den. Alyssa had bought paper plates and such for the night so that there was not much clean up afterward and set the tables. She noticed that Paul had gone into the living room and turned on some music as Christmas Carols sung by popular artists came flooding into the room. She began to sing along with George Strait on "There's a new Kid in Town" and Paul just stood there looking at her with awe in his eyes as she sang and worked swaying to the music. She felt his eyes on her so she opened hers and he was smiling. She smiled back and he walked closer to her wrapping his arms around her and swaying to the sounds of Kelly Clarkson's rendition of "O Holy Night". Alyssa got into the dance with Paul and sang along with the music in his ear as they continued to sway.
They were interrupted by a knock at the door signaling the arrival of their first guest. "I'll get it My Love, you sit and put your feet up" Paul said heading toward the door "WAIT!" he said running to the closet and pulling out a box "I almost forgot" He smiled as he pulled a piece of mistletoe with a ribbon wrapped around it and hung it above the walkway to the dining area. Alyssa smiled taking a seat on the couch propping her feet up on the ottoman as Paul opened the door and Sam and Emily walked in with Sarah. "Mom, you could have stayed here ya know" Paul said and Sarah hugged him "I know Paulie but with you and Alyssa being newlyweds and starting a family in a few months there's not NEARLY enough room for me." she said "And Besides, Emily gave me a job working at her daycare and I am renting a room from them so it works out either way." She took a seat beside Alyssa on the couch wrapping her arms around her "How is my favorite daughter doing today?" she said. Alyssa smiled placing a hand on her stomach "Tired" she said "These two are ACTIVE today", "Do you mind?" Sarah asked and Alyssa nodded before Sarah placed a hand on Alyssa's stomach "They really ARE active. I used to love to sit and do this when I was pregnant with Paul, I see these two take after him because I always thought he was break dancing in there" she said and that made everyone in the room laugh and Paul blushed "Mom!" he said lifting Alyssa's feet and taking a seat on the ottoman facing her. She wasn't wearing any shoes so he began to massage her feet "That feels nice Paul" she said closing her eyes. There was another knock at the door and just as Paul was about to get up his mother said "Don't you DARE Paul Alexander, your wife is pregnant and her feet hurt from carrying around the extra weight you take care of her poor feet" she winked at Alyssa before walking to the door to let Bella, Jacob and Charlie in. "Hey Ally Cat, Paul" Bella said leaning over to hug Alyssa and Paul before elbowing Jacob in the stomach, "OH!" he breathed "What was THAT for? " he said and Bella pointed to Paul massaging Alyssa's feet "How come you don't do THAT when I come home from work?" she whined and everyone laughed before they took a seat. Paul got up and took a seat next to Alyssa when his mother got up to go answer the door to let Jared, Kim, Quil, Embry, Joey and Nadia in. Alyssa moved to sit in his lap so that her girls could squeeze in on the couch.
After everyone was there they sat down to start dinner and Paul turned the music back on to play in the background as everyone ate. That year they did Secret Santa gifts and since Joey and Nadia were recent additions to the festivities the two left of wolves got them something, which happened to be Quil and Embry, ironic huh? As everyone gathered around the tree Paul passed out a gift to every person from both himself and Alyssa and they laughed as a few of the guys tore into them like they were children. Jacob let out a loud laugh when he saw his gift, which was similar to the other guys gifts. "That's too funny!" he said holding a couple of pairs of cut off shorts and a couple of t-shirts, "Hey! What can I say? I used to be one of you" Paul laughed "Quite frankly I'm tired of seeing you guys naked after you uh swim" He was careful to not mention them being wolves around Charlie, Nadia and Joey as he was unsure as to who knew what. "Oh Paul, it's ok you can say it" Sue said from beside Charlie "Leah and Seth had to tell him when we moved in together", "OH!" Paul said taken aback, "Yeah and we told the girls last night" said Embry from beside Nadia. "Well I guess the wolf's out of the bag hun" Alyssa giggled and Bella let out a loud laugh. "What? Was it something I said?" Alyssa looked at Bella confused. "Yeah! That's what Jared said after I slapped Paul and he phased in front of me the day Jacob imprinted on me" she said and then Paul smiled "He DID say that didn't he?" he said "Again Bells, I am sorry I lost it that day", "Ancient history, we are literally family now in every sense of the word" she said with a laugh. Everyone finished exchanging gifts and then Paul stood up "Alyssa, love, there's a couple more things I wanted to give you. Embry helped me out on this one so he gets to help me wheel them in" he said and Embry quickly gave Nadia a kiss before following Paul into one of the rooms. They wheeled out two handmade cribs one with wolves carved into the side and the other with butterflies. Alyssa put her hands to her mouth and gasped as tears began to fall down her face. "Damn Hormones" she said with a laugh "Paul, Embry they are BEAUTIFUL", "I designed them and built the actual cribs but Em's KILLER with etching so I had him do the carving on the sides. "I LOVE it!" she said throwing her arms around both Embry and Paul and then leaning in to kiss Paul passionately.
They continued the night with music and dancing before everyone finally left to go home for the night. "We've got to head back to NC to get our stuff to transfer to the rez tomorrow so we will see you guys in a week" Joey said hugging Alyssa before they left and Alyssa nodded. After everyone left Alyssa began to clean up and Paul placed a hand on hers as she bent down to pick up a plate "Come on Lyssa, let's just do this tomorrow I know you are exhausted" he said and Alyssa nodded following him to the bedroom. "I'll go draw you a bath, my love, you just sit here and relax for a few minutes" he said before leaving the room to draw her a nice warm bubble bath. He came back a few minutes later and lead her to the bathroom where she noticed that Paul had lit candles around the tub and had some soft music playing to add to the ambience of the room. He helped to undress her slowly and then helped her lower herself into the tub. "Come in here with me Paul" she said "It feels great" He smiled taking off his clothes and joining her in the tub. They took turns washing each other and laid there in the water holding each other for a while until he was too cold to stand. Paul got out first and threw his robe on before helping Alyssa stand up and dry off. He slid her bathrobe around her and they headed toward the bedroom. He helped her into bed and pulled the covers over her and slid in beside her once he noticed that the second she hit the pillow she was out cold. "Good Night My beautiful wife" he whispered into her ear and kissed her forehead before laying down to sleep himself.
