Another Christmas had arrived, a warm fire burned in the fireplace warming the house, new snow had fallen overnight, lights twinkled on the trees and hung on the house. 

  Staring out the window looking over the back garden thought about Christmas’ past, so many had been spent lonely but that all had changed almost six years ago when he had found the girl of his dreams.  The Christmas’ since then had been magical to say the least, spent in bliss, filled with so much love.  A proposal three years after getting together, a wedding six months later and the news of a baby arriving shortly after, this Christmas was sure to top the last!

  Christmas day a year ago they’d told their family and friends of their news, all who had been overjoyed for them.  Their parent’s thrilled at the news of being grandparents for the first time and the guys excited to be honorary uncles.  But the biggest surprise had come a few months later at a routine check up when the doctor informed them that they weren’t expecting one baby, but two.  had been surprised at first along with , but the shock had quickly turned to joy.  The pair hugged each other as they cried tears of joy at the news; things just kept getting better for them.

  looked down at the smiling, giggling pair before her; she couldn’t believe how much the twins had grown over the last six months.  “Daddy is going to love you two.”  She cooed fixing their Christmas outfits.  Taking the twins in her arms she held one on each hip, carrying them downstairs where she found staring off into the yard.

  “Daddy’s got some visitors.”  announced breaking from his memories. 

  Smiling turned towards his wife, a feeling of warmth flooding through his body.  Looking at the twins in her arms he couldn’t help the smile from growing bigger.  “Mister and Missus Clause eh?”  asked studying the Christmas outfits the twins were dressed in.

  “Seemed appropriate for the day.”  smiled kissing each of them on the head.  “Besides, look how cute they look.”

  nodded in agreement, they did look adorable in their outfits, his little princess dressed in a red velvet dress with lace around the wrists and neckline, a pair of white cotton tights underneath and beside her was his son dressed in a pair of red velvet pants with matching top trimmed with fake fur down the front complete with white socks.

  “A perfect picture.”  smiled leaning in to kiss his wife.  “Come here little lady.”  He grinned taking their daughter from ’s arms.  Holding her above his head he placed kisses on her tummy, listening to her laughter fill the room. 

  giggled watching them together; loved being a father, looking at their son she tickled his chin, watching the smile light up his face, the same smile showed her day in and day out.  “Can you keep an eye on them while I shower and dress for the evening?”  asked.

  “Course.”  Nodded taking Liam from her arms.  “Go make yourself beautiful.”  He winked walking from the room with one baby on each hip.

  shook her head making her way back upstairs to their bedroom, she pulled out the new dress she’d bought for the night, laying it on the bed she made her way to the bathroom to shower and refresh.

  placed Liam and Julia on a blanket before the warmth of the fire.  He watched as they sat up by themselves, amazed at how much they’d grown over the last six months, they’d become more aware of their surroundings even becoming playful.  Handing them each a toy he watched as they both began to chew and suck on them, exploring the texture of it.  Seeing Liam lean towards him quickly rolled him onto his back, placing kisses all over his tummy, hearing the giggles fill the room as he kicked his feet and arms about.  Looking aside at Julia he laid her beside her brother doing the same to her, the laughter of both twins now filling the room. Looking down at the pair tickled their tummies, making funny noises for them as they giggled and smiled even more, their feet and arms wiggling.  The house was definitely a much noisier place since the twins had arrived, but it was a good noisy.

  Stepping from the shower refreshed walked back into the bedroom to prepare herself for the evening.  Carefully she applied her makeup, fixed her hair, pulling a few curls back into a clip.  Turning towards the bed she admired the beautiful red dress adorned with red sequins around the waist.  Digging through the drawers she pulled out the sexy black lace underwear set she’d bought especially for the dress… and , what a naughty boy he could be!  Giggling to herself she slipped the dress on.  Applying a few dabs of perfume to her wrists, neck and behind her ears she studied herself one last time.  Happy with her look she took the diamond necklace from the dresser that had given her as a wedding present adding the final touch to her appearance.

  looked up hearing the footsteps approaching him, his eyes travelled from her toes up along her body being met by a vision of beauty.  “Wow.”  He breathed scrambling to his feet. “You look radiant.”

  blushed at his comment, she found it hard to believe that six months after giving birth she looked as good as he said she did, but then again always thought she looked beautiful, showering her with love and affection, a loving compliment ready at any moment.  Stepping towards her he slipped his hands to her waist pulling her against him he kissed her tenderly, taking in the intoxicating scent of her perfume, allowing his hands to caress her hips, feeling the silky fabric of the dress beneath his fingers.

  “Have you been a good boy or a naughty boy this year?”  asked giggling.

  “Depends…”  He stated cheekily, his eyes locked on hers, the warmth of his breath on her lips, his lips just inches from hers. “On the situation.”  He finished giving her a wink.

  “I agree with that.”  Laughed placing her hands on his chest. 

  The sound of the doorbell broke the pair apart from the situation that was growing hotter by the minute.  “I’ll get it.”  replied moving towards the hall to let their guests in.  made her way towards the twins, tickling them both as she knelt beside them.

  “Merry Christmas!”  announced stepping into the room with a bag of presents.

  stood to greet her mother in law with a hug, followed by .  “Merry Christmas.”  She smiled as and scooped the twins into their arms, cooing and fussing over them. 

  gave a laugh as he unloaded presents, placing them around the tree; the twins were definitely loved and spoiled by all. 

  “Oh look at you two.”  cooed.  “Aren’t they just adorable ?”

  “That they are my love.”  nodded in agreement. “The spitting image of their parents.”

  joined wrapping his arms around her waist he rested his chin on her shoulder as they watched and with their grandchildren.  “I have to agree with me da.”  spoke softly.  “Our little Julia looks just like you.”

  “You always said she would.”  Smiled placing her hands on his.  “And our Liam looks just like you.”  Turning in his arms she wrapped her arms around his neck, staring into his gorgeous eyes she leaned in placing a tender kiss on his lips.  breathed her in deeply as they shared a kiss, he still couldn’t believe how lucky he had been to find her and call her his.  Breaking the kiss gave a giggle.  “Go cool off.”  She shooed him giving his bum a pinch as he walked past her.  Laughing climbed the stairs off to prepare himself for the day with family and friends. 

  left the grandparents to coo over the twins, making her way to the entertainment room grabbing a few bottles of wine from the bar area she headed back to the kitchen placing the bottles in a bucket of ice to chill while waiting for the remaining guests to arrive before turning her attention to checking on the food that was cooking in the oven. 

  returned after quickly showering and changing.  Stepping into the kitchen he was met by the delicious smells of the seasons and the beauty of his wife.  “Let me know if you need any help.”  He told her wrapping his arms around her waist and placing a kiss on her neck.

  “Will do handsome.”  She giggled feeling the love they shared surrounding her as she turned in his arms to face him finding him looking as gorgeous as ever, dressed casually in a pair of nice jeans and black dress shirt.  “You could start by opening the wine and passing it around.”

  “On it.”  He smiled digging through the silverware drawer in search of the cork screw.  Filling a few glasses he left the kitchen offering a glass to his parents and the few friends that had arrived already.

  “ you really must get a family picture.”  told him.  “Seeing as it’s your first Christmas with Liam and Julia.”

  “Let me grab .”  grinned turning back for the kitchen.  “Come one love.” He spoke placing the bottles of wine back in the ice.  “It’s time for a family picture.”  He informed taking her hand and leading her back out to the living room.

  Sitting side by side on the couch the proud parents each took a child, Liam sat on ’s lap while Julia sat on ’s.  “Alright now, smile big.”  spoke holding the camera.  “Say Merry Christmas!”

  “Merry Christmas!”  and smiled as snapped the photo.

  “Perfect.”  smiled looking at his son, proud of him and happy for him.

    An hour later the house was full of family and close friends, all fussing over the twins celebrating their first Christmas.  The wine flowed as everyone chatted and snacked on munchies as the smells of turkey and ham filled the house.  Presents were passed around, the twins receiving every toy imaginable, truly spoiled by those who loved them.  felt the warmth and love of family surround her as she sat watching and talking with everyone, this was her favorite part of the holiday. 

  *_*_*

  Later in the evening with the twins sleeping peacefully in their parent’s arms, worn out from a day of excitement and attention, bellies full after a warm bottle. and sat on the couch the fire burning brightly before them.  The proud parents admired their precious miracles, watching the rise and fall of their little chests, the sounds of their steady breathing filling the room.

  “First Christmas went well.”  spoke softly looking aside at who reached his arm out wrapping it around her shoulders.

  “Couldn’t have been better.”  He replied placing a kiss on her head.  “And these two were the best part of it.”

  The proud family snuggled together a bit longer in the comfortable silence soaking the holiday season in.  “I think it’s time for these two to go to bed.”  whispered to .  “Then we can have some time to ourselves.”

  Together and climbed the stairs to the nursery; carefully they placed Liam and Julia into their cribs.  Joining hands led back to the living room.  “How about a dance my beautiful wife?” he asked softly pulling her close as the radio played quietly in the background. 

  “Love to.”  smiled wrapping her arms around his neck, feeling his hands come to rest on her hips.  Together they swayed to the music, lost in each other; their eyes locked together shinning with love for the other.  Resting her head against his chest listened to his heartbeat as they continued to dance slowly before the fire.

  “I’ve got something for you.”  whispered in her ear after a few more dances.  lifted her head to look at him giving him a curious look, wondering what he could possibly have to give her, she had everything she needed.  Taking her hand he pulled her towards the couch, sitting her down he moved to the stockings hanging from the fireplace, pulling out a box wrapped in shiny red paper topped with a silver ribbon. 

  “ I didn’t need a gift, I’ve got all I need right here with you and the twins.”

  “Consider it a gift from Liam and Julia then, a thank you for giving them life.”  He smiled handing her the box.

  Taking it she carefully opened it finding a beautiful ring set in silver, a pear shaped diamond in the middle anchored by two smaller gems, emeralds to be exact, birthstone of their children.

  “It’s beautiful.”  She whispered turning to face him.  leaned in kissing her tenderly.  Taking the ring from the box he placed it on her right hand, replacing the engagement ring that had once sat there now fused with her wedding band.  “Thank you.”

  “You’re welcome.”  grinned kissing her again, pulling her into a hug.  “So what did you get me?’ he asked with a raised eyebrow looking down at her.

  gave a giggle, sitting up she leaned closer to him.  “If you want your Christmas present you’re gonna have to undress me.”  She whispered seductively in his ear.

  “You’re the greatest gift of all!”  exclaimed before capturing her lips with his kissing her fiercely, pushing her onto her back.  His hands ran down her body, gently pushing the dress up her legs.  Tenderly he ran his hand along her inner thigh, enjoying the softness of her skin.  Breathlessly he broke the kiss, pulling her from the couch he cupped her face in his hands, kissing her with a burning passion, pushing the straps of the dress over her shoulders his hands ran down her arms as the dress slid down her body pooling at her feet, deepening the kiss he felt the smoothness of her skin beneath his fingers.  Breaking the kiss he took her hands in his, holding her at arms length he admired his beautiful angel and the sexy underwear that was just for him before the soft glow of the fire.

  “Now I’ve been a really good boy to deserve this.”  He spoke huskily leaning in for another kiss.  “Time to enjoy my gift.” 

  With ’s help was quickly undressed, pushing her down on the rug before the fire he took his time to explore her body, trailing warm, moist kisses along her body, slowly taking off his present.  As their bodies became one both felt their bodies relax as the fireworks exploded.  The passion took over leaving the couple making love before the warmth of the fire until they couldn’t hold back any longer, her nails dug into his back as they reached their high together, calling out for the other as the climax was reached.

  “I love you.”  breathed breathlessly leaning up to kiss him.

  “Mm…I love you.”  whispered huskily kissing her passionately.  “Merry Christmas darling.”  He smiled placing a kiss on her swollen lips.

  “Merry Christmas love.”  smiled leaning in for another tender kiss with the man who had made her the happiest woman in the world.
