My dearest Anya

Christmas day

Anya's POV
I woke up the next morning to the feeling of arms around my waist. I look over my shoulder and see Damian and his arms are around my waist. I slowly get his arms off me as to not wake him up. He stays asleep and i walk over to our closet and grab a hoodie from his side of the closet. I slip it on over my head and walk downstairs in my pajamas. I walk to the kitchen and decide to cook breakfast as it is Christmas Day. I start to cook pancakes and eggs as well as bacon and sausage. Soon I hear the stairs creak. I look up and see Damian standing there.

He's rubbing his eyes. He begins to walk down the stairs. I flip the pancakes and eggs. The bacon and sausage had just finished and I put a few pieces on each plate. Soon he comes into the kitchen and wraps his arms around my waist. I just continue cooking. The eggs finish and so I put the eggs on each plate. Finally after a while the pancakes are finished. I make some toast to top it all off and put jam on each piece of toast and then I put both plates on the table. I put two forks and napkins by each plate and we both sit down to eat breakfast.

After breakfast I look at our tree which has a whole lot of presents underneath it. A lot of our family members went a bit overboard when getting us gifts. "Hey Darling do you wanna open presents after breakfast?" Damian asks me. "I would love to" I say with a smile. After breakfast we clean up and then we go and sit in the living room where our tree is. I go and find one present for me and one present for Damian. We starts opening the gifts and soon enough all the gifts are opened. I got a new hoodie from my parents because they know that I love my hoodies. Damian's family sent me baby clothes.

I'm guessing that they're expecting us to have children soon. We're not even married yet. We just live together. They need to stop rushing us we'll do thing at our pace. His stepmom is so nice and his brother is decent he's a little scary though. I'm thankful for things nonetheless. After opening presents we go and put everything up in our room. I get a trash bag and clean up all the boxes and wrapping paper. I then take the trash out.

"Hey Darling" Damian says as he enter the room. "Hello love" I say. We decide to watch a movie and cuddle for a little while. I fall asleep on his chest halfway through the movie. I can feel his arms tight around me as I drift off. They make me feel safe and secure. I drift off to the feeling of his arms around me and his presence there beside me.

Damian's POV
After breakfast and presents we decide to watch a movie and cuddle. After the movie I realize that Anya has fallen asleep on me. I keep my arms wrapped around her tightly. I take the controller and put on another movie. She stirs a little but doesn't wake up. I watch movies for a while and soon she wakes up. "Good morning Darling" I say as her eyes flutter open. "Oh sorry" she says as she realized that she fell asleep. "Don't worry about it honey " I say.

We both get up. I wrote a few letters to send off to my parents and brother. Anya writes a small letter to send to her parents. We both take the letter tot he post office and mail them. We could just text them but a letter is more heartfelt than a text is. After a while Anya starts to cook dinner. It may still be early but according to her dinner takes a long time to cook. I watch as she takes the turkey and puts it in the oven and turns it on and up to a certain heat.

She starts to cook chicken in a crockpot. Then she takes things to make mashed potatoes and starts to make it. I watch her for a while as she cooks. Then I watch as she bakes something for desert. I had no idea she was this skilled in cooking that she can bake a desert before it's done. Soon I decide to turn on a movie and watch that while she cooks. I asked her if I could help but she refused to let me help.

Soon it was time for dinner and she set the table with chicken, turkey,mashed potatoes,rolls,and cranberry sauce. I helped her set the plates and forks and napkins. Then we began to eat. "Thank you for the amazing dinner Darling" I say with a big smile on my face. She blushed a little. "Yeah I got a little carried away so we might have a lot of leftovers" she says a little embarrassed. I just smile at her.

After a while we finish eating. I clean up our plates and throw away our napkins. I put the plates and forks in the sink and then I help Anya put everything in containers to put in the fridge and we can eat more of it tomorrow. I help her clean the dishes. Then we decide to eat the pie she made tomorrow as we ate both very tired. We both head upstairs and Lu down in bed and we both quickly fall asleep. Today was one of the best Christmases I've had since my mom passed. It was amazing.
