Day before ChristmasIt's the day before Christmas and we both have last minute things to do. Emily and my mom were heading to the mall while I was running my own errands. My first stop was to my tattoo artist, since I was his only customer we were doing the tattoo in one sitting. It's gonna be a huge piece, I left out before Emily this morning. It was about 4:30am when I made it to the shop. It's gonna be a long morning.
While he was doing my tattoo, I emailed the dealership to let them know I'll be there to check out the car and have it set up for delivery for the morning. I had all of Emily's gifts hidden at my parents house here, I got her a bunch of things she would never buy herself or ask me for.
I also got her a new wedding ring, we've been using her engagement ring and I know she would love a real wedding ring, I found the perfect one a few ago. Just got the email saying that it's at the store. This is gonna be the best Christmas ever, hands down.

"What are you getting Jen for Christmas?" Susan asked as we walked around the mall. I was pushing Ace in his stroller while he slept.
"She's been looking at the new MacBook Pro and apple watches, so probably those two things. She's been wanting some new suits. Then she's always calling my diaper bag girly so I'm gonna get her her own bag with Atlas initials; should be ready after we are done with everything."
"I say we go to the Apple Store first since it's still early then to her favorite suit place"
"Sounds like a plan" we stopped and got Starbucks before heading to the apple store.
Okay so who knew there was so many different computers and accessories and anything else she needed. I had to call Garcia and of course she raced up here with Tara in tow. What was suppose to be a 2 hour mall trip turned into an all day thing which ended with me and Ace coming home around 8 that night.
It smelled like cinnamon apple and firewood when we stepped into the house. Luckily everything I got Jennifer today was wrapped at Garcia's house.
"Hi, we're home!" I said coming inside carrying Ace's car seat and my purse, I kicked the door closed as Jennifer rounded the corner.
"Welcome home baby" she pressed a kiss against my lip before taking Ace. She placed his car seat down and picked him up.
"Hi bubsy" she said kissing his face. I smiled as I took my jacket and shoes off.
"Before you do anything, can you please go get the gifts out of the car and they're wrapped so don't even think about sneaking a look. Ace and I will watch you" she huffed pouting. "That's not working today Jareau" I chuckled as she stomped outside. It had started to snow on my way home, so it looks like we will be having a white Christmas after all.

"Don't you think that's enough cookies Em?" Jennifer asked as I took another tray of cookies out the oven. She hopped on the counter grabbing one. I smacked her hand with a spoon.
"What the fuck?"
"Don't touch those, they aren't for you"
"Don't have to smack me" she pouted rubbing her hand. I leaned over and kissed it. She jumped down and walked over to where Ace was sleeping in his swing. She gently picked him up and started swaying back and forth with him. She had one hand on his butt and the other on his head.
I had our Christmas playlist going in the background. As I put the last of the dishes away, our song came on. It wasn't a Christmas song and I don't remember putting it on the playlist. She sat Ace back in his swing and walked over to me holding her hand out, "May I have this dance?" I placed my hand in hers and she pulled me closed. Chris Stapleton played throughout the kitchen.
When I think of you and the first time we met
And I heard the sound of your sweet gentle voice.
My heart took me over and gave me no choice, and right then I knew.I remember the first time I saw Jennifer, January 28th 2018. I knew that I would spend forever with her.
It makes me want more of you again and again. I fall more in love with you, than I've ever been. From the moment you wake me up, 'til you kiss me goodnight. Everything that you do, it makes me want more of you.
Jennifer could sit on a park bench in a trash bag and I'll still fall in love with her. Her morning kisses and her goodnight hugs, always leaves me wanting more.
When I look at you now that years have gone by. I think of the memories that time can't erase and all of the smiles that you've brought to my face. Your love's been so true.
In the almost 2 years that I've known Emily we have had good memories and bad memories. From the smiles to the tears. From the laughing to the yelling, I wouldn't trade it.
When I leave this earth you'll be holding my hand and it gives me comfort to know you'll be there. I'll thank the Lord for the love that we share. You're heaven to me.
Whether we go together or die separately, we will always be holding hands. Emily is my safety blanket, she's my person and forever will be. She's my heaven, she's my angel. I'm so thankful for her. She has given me the world and more.
I pulled back as the song was ending, our eyes locked as I sing the last two lines.
Everything that you do
It makes me want more of you.We locked lips as we swayed some more, Emily's head resting on my shoulder, her lips softly kissing my neck.
I'd dance in the kitchen any day with her. Barefoot with messy hair and baby milk on her shirt. Cookie batter on her face and day old massacre.
It makes me want more of her in every single way.
