Yana's POV: My eyes slowly started opening until they met the bright light which was falling in the bedroom.The sky was light gray and sorrowful.I felt Elijah's body pressed against mine and his arm around my waist while his hand was covering mine,he was sleeping peacefully behind me and his entire body was giving me warmth.
My gaze met the baby's crib in which Victoria was sleeping and then back the sky where I started perceiving that I had a dream.
A dream that could have been reality!
I closed my eyes,because I tried to contain my tears that wanted to burst and flow like a river,but I failed and the crying started.
I bit my jaw together trying to the contain my sobbing,but a noise came out.I bit my jaw again and continued crying in silence.
"Yana?"I heard Elijah's husky quiet voice.I turned my head half around and saw him wide awake.Elijah sighed and dragged me so I can face him.
"Please,let me cry!Let me cry myself out."I begged him.I couldn't keep it anymore.I wanted to cry myself out,but I couldn't because of Victoria.
Elijah nodded and I closed my eyes back again while biting my jaw together and burying my face in his neck and crying a river.
Moments of silence passed and I still kept crying and sobbing.
"Calm down...calm down,please."I heard him whispering after some time.
Elijah's POV: My heart broke in million of pieces when I felt Yana's tears on my chest.
I just wanted to find that motherfuckers and lean my fury on.I wanted to make him pay for his action,but I couldn't.
My hands and feet were tied up.Yana needed me in that moment more and I couldn't left her alone at all.
Yana's POV: I gathered myself together after a few minutes and watched Elijah in the eyes.He smiled at me and suggested"It's the first day of Christmas,why don't we make it beautiful?"And placed his palm on my cheek.
A smile crossed my face too and I nodded when I heard Victoria cooing in her bed.I escaped Elijah's arms and stood up approaching her crib while trying to wipe the remaining tears away.
"Hey baby."I said happily when I saw Victoria watching me with her big green eyes which she inherited from me.
I gently took her in my arms and got back in bed where I laid her down between me and Elijah.She laughed loud and with joy as she looked at her father.
Elijah chuckled under his breath and kissed her soft cheek.
We started playing with her for a few moments until Elijah admitted"I don't think,I told you this,but ever since V entered my life,I have changed completely.I honestly feel like I've become overprotective."
I chuckled since I remarked that.
"I already observed...when you asked the doctor,if he could not give her that shot."I said starting to laugh just remembering it,Elijah laughed too.
He and I started to come up with ideas about how are we goning to spend the first Christmas day.
First we had breakfast which was prepared by me and Elijah while V was playing on her play mat.
Before we got ourself dressed so we can go out for a walk in Central Park,we showed V her Christmas presents which were toys and clothes.
In Central Park The Central Park was all decorated with Christmas decorations,people were taking pictures and families like us were walking around enjoying the cold weather.

Elijah was pushing the stroller while we held hands inside his coat pocket since it was a cold day.
Everything was beautiful!
"Too bad it's not snowing."Elijah mentioned hoping that it will.
We kept walking and walking until I threw a look inside the stroller.Victoria fell asleep with her small hands up which had white mittens on and sucking on the pacifier.
I smiled admiring her and said on a low tone"She's sleeping like an angel."
Elijah's gaze moved down inside the stroller where he saw her daughter sleeping too,he chuckled when suddenly my phone called.
I took it out my bag,it was my mother.
"Hi hani,how are you?"She asked with a happy voice."Hi mom,I'm fine.Elijah and I are in park with V."I respond looking at Elijah.
"That's nice.I wanted to ask you,when I should come by this evening?"She questioned politely.
I looked up at Elijah again who shrugged with a smile.
"Whenever you want,you're always welcome."I maintained casually."Alright,I have some business to take care of and I think,I'd arrive around 07:00,is it alright?"She wanted to know."07:0o it is."I said happily."Good and by the way no need to cook,I'll bring the food."My mother replied enthusiastically.
We said goodbye and hung up.
We walked for ten more minutes and then we went back home.
At home "V is in her room sleeping,I'm going to take a shower now."I informed handing Elijah the baby monitor since he was making himself a tea.
I entered our bedroom's bathroom and turned on the shower.While the bathroom started to feel itself with steam,I was taking my clothes off when a heard a few knocks at the door.
"Yeah?"I said a bit loud.
The door opened and Elijah entered the bathroom wearing only trousers showing the Tom Ford waistband from his boxers and the black Salvatore Ferragamo belt while his chest area was all naked.
He closed the door behind when suddenly he approached me saying"I can't take it anymore."And smashed his lips on mine while his right hand found place on my cheek and his left arm got wrapped around my waist.
My eyes widened and I tried to take a step back so I can distance my lips from his,but his grip was strong.
"What...are you...doing?"I asked confusedly through the kisses.
He stopped and looked me in the eyes while a soft smirk appeared on his lips.
"I know you want it too.I know you want to free yourself from everything that has caused you pain."Elijah claimed as if he was reading me like a book and he was right.
I really wanted to escape the negativity that was in my body and relax.
