Since the injury in November you and Ben had been spending a lot of time together as he had a lot more free time and you just graduated University and had 2 months of before you started your new job. It had being difficult with ben the first couple of weeks as he couldn't do much without your assistance and relayed on you for everything as he was too weak to do anything. But you stuck by him through the ongoing recovery.
It was now getting closer to Christmas and the plan was too go to your mums house Christmas Eve and sleep so you could be there for Christmas morning to open presents as you lived quite a distance from your family. You and Ben took it in turns each year to which parents you visited. However it was 2 days until Christmas and Ben took a turn for the worse. He had a soaring temperature at 39 degrees and a bad chesty cough. Obviously in a pandemic you knew more than likely he had caught covid; the PCR test results you received the following morning confirmed this.
Under the knew restrictions Ben needed to isolate but you didn't so you could of still gone to your parents for Christmas but decided against it as you didn't want Ben to spend Christmas alone, especially when he was really ill and in recovery from a bad injury. This meaning it was going to be Christmas just the two of you. While you didn't say anything to Ben you was quite disappointed as you loved and been looking forward to this for months but you was going to make it as special as you could.
-- Christmas morning --
"Good morning babe" you said sweeping Chilly hair out of his eyes
"Morning my love, merry Christmas" Ben replied
"Merry Christmas, I am going to start preparing for dinner so I will be in the kitchen"
"ok I will be down soon baby"
-
The thing you was most nervous about was the Christmas dinner and while you could cook, Christmas dinner was a big ask and a very stressful one. While dinner was cooking you and Ben exchanged presents and watched The Grinch.
The dinner was going well, you had taken the turkey out of the oven and left to cool as Ben kept running in sneaking potatoes out of the tin and the bacon out of the tray of sprouts.
"Ben theirs going to be nothing left if you keep eating"
"So dramatic y/n theirs enough here to feed the whole Chelsea squad"
"Just one more" Ben said cheekily as he took yet another potato
"Benjamin" you said throwing a tea towel at him as he ran out of the kitchen away from you

Much to your surprise the dinner turned out good and you both was in a food coma for the rest of the night as you really did make more than enough for 2, enough for a whole family. The evening was spent playing board games and watching Christmas films with the occasional dance whenever you could drag ben up that was. While it wasn't the Christmas that was planned you both enjoyed it and was one of the best.
