December 23rd….

I sat in my front room damn happy they let me go, I believed they just wanted Warren to leave. He was a pain in the ass I tried to get him to leave but he refused since when he was here I never left him. He would go home shower see Eve and come back only to sit and stare or read a magazine. It was Christmas glad I had done my shopping online now I sit here wrapping while Eve watched I was alone and Warren knew not to come over.

"Well Eve only four more to go," I said looking out at the sea of wrapped gifts. Eve was going on two months she had grown she was a little angel never crying unless she was hungry. She cooed talking to me as I smiled at her giving her tiny feet a small tickle. I was finished 25 minutes later with all the tubes of paper put up I was sticking gifts under the tree. A huge party was being held at Warrens so all these would be at his house, well except Will's, but Gwen said they would be attending.

I picked up Eve walking to get her a bottle for her afternoon nap, I rocked her watching her tiny eyelids closed as she slept soundly. I had finished all my school work that I had missed plus would be returning to school when winter break was over. I cleaned the house when I heard the front door open so I turned around the corner poking my head around seeing Warren walk in.

"Love," he called out in a commanding voice and I just rolled my eyes at him. I just finished wiping down the counters with sanitizing wipes. When he entered the kitchen leaning on the door frame watching me clean the counter tops. "Good afternoon War," I said looking at him and he just smiled at me.

"I am here to get you and Eve, bring all your gifts to put under my tree. Gwen said all because your retarded brother is coming even if he wants to our not blah, blah we are family," Warren said and I put my cleaning supplies away washing my hands.

"Did you bring a blanket? I don't want my gifts sliding around the bed of your truck," I asked with a stern look. "Well I didn't bring my truck; I got a new one more family friendly a Cadillac Escalade ESV," He said I was shocked he didn't like things like that but he was a family man now. I touched his cheek as I passed and showed him the mass sea of gifts I wrapped and he groaned starting carrying them out while I packed Eve a bag and grabbed my purse along Eve walking down the stairs. Seeing Gwen helping Warren carry out gifts, she stopped looking at the label of a rather large one. She smiled and tried to shake it but nearly dropped it on the floor, I smirked.

"Gwen I hope you're not trying to peek at something I got for you," I said Warren chuckled walking passed her with his hands full of presents. "No, I wasn't it was rather heavy and it shook and almost fell," She said with wide eyes, I just looked at her as she ran outside.

Warren took the last of the gifts taking them to the truck while Gwen had Eve. I had to get her milk and bottles in her bag before we left for the day. "That's my girl," I heard Warren and I assumed he took Eve from Gwen as I walked out.

"So I will be at your house around eleven with Penny, all the others will be there and we can start cooking dinner," She said I gave a nod of understanding. "I will see you tonight," I said as she closed the front door she spent a lot of time at our house, with her mother dead and being raised by a single dad.

"Wow I love it," I said to the dark blue SUV parked in my drive way. "Yeah, I figured you say that, look it has an awesome stereo. Mini TVs in the back that flip down from the roof. It can also fly fixed it myself," He said I gave him a smile it was a good family car. I was able to get in by myself as he liked to drive or was scared of my driving; it was a smooth ride as Eve fell back to sleep fast.

"You do know it's yours right, I know a day ago you passed your test. I know I shouldn't have don't give me a lecture, your worth it. If it wasn't for you I be dead and you would be living in hiding with our daughter," Warren said and I sighed rolling my gray eyes.

"My aunt had a college fund set up for Eve before she died so the money from their will and the sale of their house went right into it. Steve put in a large amount and so did my mother and I," He said smiling this was great news. We made it to our house he started to unload as Dice and the gang came out Layla taking Eve as I started helping Warren. The day was spent with us girls decorating our house in Christmas decorations and the boys putting up lights for the sake of my happiness. By dinner time I had a lasagna dish in the oven with fresh garlic cheese bread, while Layla made a salad.

I watched Warren with Eve he was really good with her she soften him but also made him more lethal. I was worried in five months school would be over and he would be opening his auto repair shop for the supers and civilians. I would still have two years at Sky high feeling it would take restraint from Warren not to watch me during classes. I doubt he has even thought of it because I would know if he did. We all sat for dinner together and it felt nice watching Eve in her bouncy chair while we ate.

"Can you believe five more months and we are out of high school. Opening our shop," Trace said fondly it would be the four boys together. "Well, good for you ass licker, we still have two years at Sky high without you guys there," Magenta said in a sarcastic voice. Bam! I felt his anger as he got up from the table pissed I sighed watching him go he needed a few minutes alone.

"I take it he isn't happy with the very idea he won't be able to watch you like a creeper," Magenta said and I slapped her in the back of the head she gave me a "what did I do" look. I got up and followed Warren leaving Eve with Dice so I could go talk to Warren. I found him on the balcony looking over our vast land where we would raise our kids, if we made it that long.

"Warren," I said putting my arms around his waist and he turned in my arms looking down at me. "Why are you so upset over it?" I questioned and he sighed running his hand through his long hair letting it fall in his face. "I trust you but its other boys I don't trust. I am not a good man and I know without me there they will hit on you. It upsets me to my very core not having you by my side," He said anger, love so many emptions shown through his tone.

"Warren, guys may hit on me but you have my love, my heart and soul. So it really doesn't matter because I won't give them a chance to try and flirt with me," I said and his anger simmered. "I love you very much Lillian, I am yours all of me the good and the bad," He said as his arms came around my waist as we kissed a deep lingering kiss full of love and passion. "Well you'll still have to be my date for my dances and two proms, so you can still scare everyone," I said with a smile.

December 25th…

I sat in my yoga pants and tank top in my living room in the house Warren got for me. I couldn't move in for two years but it was still was my home. No presents until later after dinner a Stronghold tradition, my mother, Lacy, Willow all are at the Spa for their day out. I was playing with Eve as Warren was still sleeping it was going on eleven as I stood and opened the front door as a gaggle of girls came in.

"Quite Warren is still sleeping," I said as we all walked into the kitchen where all the food was. I set my daughter in her swing and set the music to play as we organized the food we are cooking and who does what. It was near 12:15 when we started cooking the pies, it was a huge dinner.

"Can I get a beer and a bowl of cereal before you ladies start?" I turned and saw Warren in nothing but his briefs, he wasn't sleeping I could tell by the bags under his eyes. Every single girl blushed looking at him he was toned and muscled in all the right areas with a very noticeable bulge in his briefs.

"Hurry up and put some damn clothes on Warren," I snapped at him, he flushed noticing his lack of clothes. "Well if you got it flaunt it, right?" he asked with a smile as I hit him with a wooden spoon he yelped in pain. "Well okay I have big boobs I will go around flaunting them," I said and he fucking pinched me.

"I don't think so," he said grabbing his food and a beer he sat next to Eve as he ate. I just shook my head seeing the girls glance over every few minutes. I would get him back and soon for this he knew the girls are were watching him. This wasn't getting him back but I walked over with an ice cold glass of water he wasn't too close to our daughter. I dumped the cold water over his male parts he jumped up cussing as Eve giggled. I laughed my face bright red "Warren honey you need to cool off," I said but he had a glint in his eyes that sent me running with him feet behind me. I ran into our room locking the door before I jumped off the balcony walking back into the kitchen hearing him cuss from upstairs.

I sighed when he came down 20 minutes later fully clothed, he looked good. He had on a black muscle shirt on with faded jeans. His boots and chain ever present he was so hot. "I have to go I have an appointment," I raised my brow and he just sighed. "I do I will be back later about right around the time everyone shows up," I snarled at him, he gave me a look. "It's Christmas cant it wait Warren?" I asked and he shook his head no and walked out.

I was fuming by 5:00 Pm as Gwen was finished dressing and watched Eve so I could shower and dress. I took a very fast shower, and sat starting to dry my hair and pinning it up with two blue roses. A Blue and Cream Lace Bustier Pearl Dress with Manolo Blahnik Lace Tayler heels with minimal make-up and heart shaped jewelry. I stood as the bedroom door opened and in walked Warren with a smile. I didn't think getting a tattoo was worth not spending Christmas with us I could give a shit less if I was cooking, he could have been with Eve.

"A tattoo Warren, I think Eve would have liked to see you," I snapped he just sighed knowing I was pissed at him. I saw fire running up his arms and it was a true work of art it looked real. He took off his shirt and I saw Evangeline running between his massive shoulders. He turned and I saw Lillian with angel wings and a halo and I sighed.

"I still don't think it was worth it Warren she may only be two months but this is her first Christmas," I said walking out so he could get dressed. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen helping the other girls out as others went and got ready we had 15 minutes until people started to arrive for dinner. I had Eve she was in her Christmas dress it was like she was a Christmas angel. A green and red ribbon in her hair it had curls I saw a picture of her real mother and she had long brown curls, where I had black.

The doorbell rang as Warren was rushing down the stairs meeting me at the door. I opened it holding Eve with Warren next to me seeing my dad, mom, Will, Ethan, his girlfriend and Zack and his girl. I moved to the side and let them in "You look stunning my princess," Daddy said kissing my forehead my mother gave me a kiss and hug before moving on to Warren.

"Hey Lily bug, Miss. Eve," Will said and she cooed as he picked her up kissing my cheek and he was gone. Ethan and Zack came in with their mates shaking hands with Warren because they are polite. Before the door even closed it rang again as we saw all his friends and their parents, and his mama. We welcomed them in and I could see a hint of distaste on Dice's fathers face seeing me.

"Be polite while you are in my house, she is my future wife and she was the one who killed my father Mr. Darken," Warren said as Magenta and Sparrows family's arrived in a very cheerful mood. Bringing gifts and wine for the evening I hugged them since I have known them since I was in diapers.

"Fortuna, this is my mate Warren Peace. Warren this is Fortuna Sparrows Aunt. Maggie and Brute this is Warren these are Magenta's parents," I introduced everyone.

"It is a pleasure, you are a lucky man Warren," Brute said he was a tall and muscular man with a stash and goatee. "This is a beautiful home Warren you have good taste," Maggie said and Warren laughed.

"I bought it because Lillian wanted it she picked it and decorated it," Warren said and Maggie laughed kissing my cheek walking away to see their daughter.

"Lillian and the child have been very good for you Warren Peace. I hope you can be the man Lillian deserves," Fortuna said touching my cheek as she passed. I turned and walked with Warren "Is she always like that?" He asked and I gave a yes.

We all sat around the large main dining room table as all the food was set on the table. I was feeding Eve while everyone sat and ate dinner everyone talking it was a relaxing sight-seeing everyone talking without yelling. I hadn't eaten yet as I burped my daughter all night the flashing of camera's lights surrounded us. Once I was finished feeding her Warren held out his arms and I handed him our daughter. I started eating listening to everyone's conversations.

After dinner around 7:00 Pm…

Eve was still wide awake with the happy vibe in the house; I sat on the sofa with her next to me in her swing. No music because she couldn't hear it over us talking, but she was all smiles. Willow and mom started handing out gifts to people we made sure everyone had equal numbers, Eve had more than anyone. I sat with a pile of gifts at my feet, I was hoping Warren didn't get me a gift as I was driving a brand new SUV.

I un-wrapped the first one laughing looking at Ethan, he got me a stun gun. I showed it to Warren who laughed a deep laugh "Popsicle, good one," Warren laughed and set Ethan to blushing as I kissed his cheek. I had gotten such wonderful gifts and I had two left and they are both from Warren.

"Thank you Warren," Will said. Holding the new Samsung Galaxy s7, which I knew cost near a thousand hundred dollars, since I wanted one and daddy got it for me. I smiled poor Will was really stunned he got something so nice from Warren. Gwen screamed and I saw her with a pink velvet box and Will with a grimace on his face. Inside was a slip of paper for auto detailing her car any way she wanted it done. She opened mine seeing a tone of different phone cases all in shades of pale pink with diamonds and other things on them.

I opened mine from Warren seeing a card for my favorite place at Maxville mall. I opened the next one and sighed it was a picture of Warren, me and Eve we had taken for Christmas our first family picture it was in a white gold frame. I hugged him and he kissed my lips before I sat back down.

I watched Warren open his gifts from me he pulled out a small red velvet box. He opened it and removed a wedding ring that matched mine but very manly, he put it on his ring finger with an adoring smile. He opened the last one and he laughed seeing the very same thing he got me a framed picture of us as a family he got up and set it on the fire place mantel. I would have mine at home and when I moved it would stay there with my parents. Eve had new toys and clothes galore, Layla had a wedding ring as did Magenta and Sparrow not as grand as mine. But I could care less about the size it was a family heirloom from his family.

I walked everyone out Willow and Hurricane or Jared James are watching Eve tonight. So I could rest I was riding home with Warren and he was staying over at my house. I cleaned along with Warren as everyone had left and went home for the night, my parents going to go see my grandparents and wouldn't be back until tomorrow afternoon. I washed the dishes as he dried and set them in the dishwasher, I had work at noon and he came in at two. I scrubbed the counters as he did the table and we are finished, as I sit with him in the den watching the fire blazing.

"This has been the best Christmas I have ever had, it was just me and mom with my friends before," He said his arm around my shoulders. "Now you have a daughter and mate with a large family," I said and he smiled. "Yeah 18 with a wife and child I am pretty lucky you didn't break the bond," he said his face falling at the bitter memories. "Time for me to go Warren," I said standing up as he raised his hand and the fire was gone.

I drove us home he was relaxed but on guard as I drove through a quiet town. I made a sharp turn down the road leading to the lake, my eyes turning into storm clouds. Making the water a bit hotter and the air around us too, I jumped out and he followed. I took off my shoes and dress setting it on the seat along with my jewelry I was clad in a strapless bra and blue lace panties as I ran at the lake flying high and falling hearing Warren yelling at me. I surfaced seeing his enraged face right next to me and I gave him a brilliant smile.

"Scared the fucking piss out of me Lillian," he said in a flat tone. I wrapped my arms around him his arms came around my waist. He stiffened when my legs went around his waist bringing his erection closer. He groaned than he kissed me his lips warm and wet as the pressed to mine. I bit on his bottom lip he moaned and he deepened the kiss, his tongue enticing mine to play. My hands in his long hair as his ran up my body.

I broke the kiss and moved to his neck kissing and giving light bites to his flesh.

Seems like a good place to leave off right? Please review!
