''Good morning Sam,'' Scott whispered in my ear.

''It's too early,'' I complained.

''I dont care,'' he said. ''It is Christmas tomorrow.''

''Yes I know,'' I replied. ''Tomorrow.''

''Oh come on baby,'' he pouted and jumped on the bed, causing me to abruptly sit up. Scott's eyes lit up and I pulled the sheet up to cover my bare chest. "Please get up baby."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him back down with me. He rested most of his weight on my body and placed his lips on mine.

"Please baby," he whispered. "I want to show you something, beautiful."

"Fine," I said and Scott grinned. He got off me and passed me some clothes. I pulled on the underwear and bra and then the shirt. I stood off the bed and pulled on the sweats he handed me. Scott grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. He basically ran down the stairs with me in tow. When we got to the bottom, Scott went behind me and put his hands over my eyes as he led me into the living room.

"Surprise baby," he said and took his hands away from my eyes. The christmas tree which recently only had presents that I had put under it was now full of presents. "We actually went christmas shopping."

"That's amazing," I said. "I felt awkward because nobody else had bought any presents."

"I am sorry Sam," he said sheepishly. "But I made you breakfast."

"Thanks baby," I said and kissed him lightly. Scott suddenly picked me up and carried me into the kitchen. He placed me on a seat and went over to the counter. He grabbed two plates and came and sat beside me, putting one of the plates in front of me. I looked at the pancakes which were shared like Christmas trees and grinned at Scott.

''These are amazing,'' I said. ''How did you do that?''

''Secret,'' he replied and tapped his nose.

When we finished breakfast, I checked the fridge to make sure we had everything for tomorrow and then took the ham out of the freezer. When I had it on a big dish, I put it in the fridge to defrost it.

''Are you excited for Christmas?'' Riley asked and he went over to the fridge.

''I am looking forward to seeing Tom again,'' I said. ''But otherwise, it is just another Christmas.''

''Well, I know we haven't exactly had the best Christmases in the past but this one will be awesome,'' Riley said. ''And it is your first Christmas as a fiancee.''

''Yeah. We still haven't told your mum yet though,'' I admitted and he laughed softly.

''Scott will do it epicly, trust me,'' Riley told me and I rolled my eyes. ''And whether he plans it or not.''

''I know,'' I agreed.

''You know what?'' Scott asked and came into the kitchen.

''Secret,'' I teased and tapped my nose.

''Meany,'' Scott pouted.

''But you love me,'' I said and poked my tongue out at him.

''Can I eat in here or will you two be making out sometime soon,'' Riley joked.

''I just came to find Sam so no, you can eat,'' Scott said and he leaned against the bench. I went and stone beside him as Riley raided the fridge.

''Ooh, trifle,'' he said and began to pull the bowl out.

''Dont you dare,'' I said and he froze in his tracks.

''What are you gonna do about it?'' He asked.

''Put the trifle down Riley or no dinner for you,'' I said and Scott stifled a laugh. ''It took me a very long time to make that so dont you dare ruin it before Christmas.''

''Fine,'' he said, ''but now there Is nothing to eat.''

''Open your eyes dickwad and look at all the fucking food,'' I said and pushed him out of the way. I pulled out some of last night's dinner and shoved it in his hands. ''Eat this.''

''What crawled up your butt and died?'' He asked. I rolled my eyes at him and looked at Scott.

''If a certain person didnt wake me up early then I would have gotten enough sleep and wouldn't be grouchy,'' I said and glared at Scott.

''Sorry baby,'' he said sheepishly and held out his arms. I just huffed and walked out of the kitchen. ''Sam, wait.''

I ignored him as I walked upstairs to our room. I passed Tony on the way and he said hi but I just ignored him.

''Please babe,'' I heard Scott call but I just slammed the bedroom door shut. He came in after me and pulled me into his arms. ''What's wrong Sam?'' He asked gently.

''I dont know,'' I whispered and felt tears come to my eyes.

''You were fine and then you got angry. I am sorry baby,'' he said and stroked my hair.

''It isnt you Scott,'' I said and tried to wipe my eyes.

''What is it?'' He asked and kissed me lightly.

''I dont know,'' I whispered quietly.

''Baby, are you... are you pregnant?'' Scott asked and my eyes widened in surprise.

So, how was it?
