Wrapping Presents
This takes place in London about 8-ish months after Betty goes there.
Daniel was sitting on the couch next to Betty watching her meticulously wrapping Christmas presents.
He wanted to help, but she had her own system, and truth of the matter, he was enjoying just watching her, reveling in that sweet smile that was created by those gorgeous lips, and the shine in her eyes that he loved seeing. He loved the glasses, truthfully, but he loved just getting lost in those gem-like eyes.
He watched as she folded the corner of the wrapping paper and picked the tape sticking it on the edge. She bit her lip as she continued her task. He loved when she did that. It was tempting to kiss her now. Sometimes he wondered if she knew that she was teasing him. He had an inkling she did, but he would let her tease him. He loved it.
She smiled happily glancing at him. He smiled watching as she placed the wrapped box on the stack of presents beside her and picking up the next one. It was a small velvet box. She picked up the blue snowflake wrapping paper; a strand of hair fell along her face. She looked like an angel. He truly loved her. He would do anything for her. He was happy just sitting by her watching her do whatever she was doing. She could be sitting there reading and he would find himself watching her read. He loved how she twisted her hair when she read, and how animate she was reacting to whatever she was reading. It was as if he was reading along with her.
He watched as she placed the velvet box in the center of the wrapping paper, her fingers picking up the paper so lightly. His eyes met the rings on her finger that were a symbol of his love for her and their eternal bond. They were each other's and that made his heart float like a balloon into the skies. He wanted to kiss her hand now, but he would let her continue. His eyes went back to her face noticing the glow on her cheeks... how she was glowing. He smiled bright feeling his insides tingle and his heart fill with love from her. His eyes traced the contours of her face that he would see always. He wouldn't have it any other way.
She covered the gift with the paper, moving the strand of hair back behind her ear. He wasn't sure but he thought he saw her glance at him with a smirk and sparkles in her eyes, but he could very well be making it up. Nonetheless, he watched as she placed the tape on the bottom and then flipped it over placing a silver bow in the center of it. She had a few extra bows and ribbons and some tinsel. She placed the final wrapped gift on the top of the others. She smiled picking up a bow and looked up at him. He felt his heart soar at the sight of that smile. She scooted over to him and kissed his cheek. "I love you" she whispered into his ear sending this tingling sensation all through his body. She placed the bow on his chest. He looked at her with a smile.
She smiled looking into his eyes, hers sending this message of nothing but love to him. She leaned close to him. "Thanks for being my present" she said looking into his eyes, her lips teasing his. He moved his hands to her face and kissed her gently, lovingly. She sunk into him deepening the kiss. She pulled away and looked at his eyes again. "I love it when you watch me" she said quietly, almost breathlessly.
He smiled. "I love watching you. You're beautiful. I didn't know you knew I was watching you"
"Of course." She moved her hand into his shirt across his tone chest. She blew on his neck sending this overwhelming warming sensation. She placed a lingering kiss across his jaw. "I love you"
She got up and walked into the kitchen leaving him there, but not for long. He got up and followed her. She picked up a clean glass from the counter and poured some water. She took a sip, the water touching those lips, like rain on flower petals. She smiled again glancing at him from the corner of her eye. She turned and walked toward him with a smile. When he thought she was going to kiss him, she brushed past him and went into their room. He shook his head taking a deep breath. The woman was like a ruby red rose. He wanted to touch her, admire her, but she teased him like thorns. He would take the chance. He went over to where the presents were and picked up a bow, a ribbon and some tinsel, and then went into their room.
She was wicked. She was standing by the window waiting for him. He walked over to her and pulled her close. "What's all that?" she asked.
He smiled and kissed her cheek. "My present" he placed the bow on her shoulder, then wrapped the tinsel around her wrist like a bracelet and placed the ribbon through the loop of her skirt. He placed his hand over her stomach. She smiled looking into his eyes. "I have something else" she said and pulled out the small blue snowflake box she had wrapped. He hadn't seen her take it. She was magic.
He held the box and started to open it, taking the bow off and placing it on the side of her hair and kissed her sweetly. When he took the wrapping paper off, he opened the velvet box and found a small picture frame of her and him. He smiled looking up at her. When he picked it up he saw there was a folded sheet of paper. He unfolded it and his eyes went wide. She smiled just as bright.
"We're having a girl?" he said with a shine in his eyes. She nodded with a smile, her eyes sparkling like stars. He hugged her tight spinning her around in excitement. Before now, they were happy just knowing they had a baby together, but now that they knew what it was, it added more reality to their relationship. It was like a dream. He placed her feet back to the ground and kissed her passionately, his hands moving through her hair wanting to feel as much of her as possible, even those dark brown locks. He felt his heart flutter thinking about their baby girl and what she would look like. He was positive she would look just like Betty; so cute and loving, beautiful and bright. He just knew he was going to love this beautiful woman in his arms forever. He deepened the kiss forgetting about the necessity for air wishing he could kiss her forever. Eventually, they pulled apart, both breathless. "Wow" she whispered, her lips brushing his.
"I love you, Betty." he hugged her close. "You're the best gift anyone could ask for, and thanks for giving me a second gift" he placed his hand on her slight swollen stomach and kissed her cheek.
She smiled as he moved down and lifted her shirt. He placed his hand lightly on her stomach and kissed it. "Love you baby girl" he said and placed another kiss. She ran her hand through his brown hair. He smiled looking up at her.
She pulled him close to her, wrapping an arm around his waist "Do you know what the best part of presents is?" she whispered as her finger grazed lightly across his jaw.
"What?" he asked looking at those eyes feeling the warmth and love from her. "Un-wrapping them" she said with a smirk. He grinned like a naughty boy. "Well, then, let's get to unwrapping, shall we?" he said pulling her along to the bed. She giggled as they playfully 'un-wrapped' each other, leaving the bows on one other as they enjoyed their present to each other.
