Christmas dreams

Mia POV

1 year later - Christmas Eve

I couldn't believe it, today was finally the day. I was marrying the love of my life. When Chris had asked me to marry him I was so shocked, I didn't say a word for at least 10 minutes, he was so worried I was going to say no but I didn't. I of course said yes. We had been through so much, so much pain and suffering led us here. Lizzie was nearly 2, Luca was 8 and Avery was  nearly 3. Time had gone so quickly but it had been such an amazing ride.

I decided to would walk myself down the aisle, I didn't want to rely on anyone else and I felt empowered doing it myself. We chose a lovely garden to hold the ceremony, something simple and wonderful. As I walk down to my future I take a look around and see Lisa, Carly and Shanna all smiling back at me. Scott is standing next to Chris as his best man with tears in his eyes and I see my sister, Hannah my maid of honour. She is smiling so much at me and I can't help but think how lucky I have been.

Hannah has been sober now for over a year and I'm so proud of her, she went to therapy and is still going to continue her healing. Everyone involved in what happened to her was arrested and sentenced. I of course didn't press charges against her for what happened, we worked it out and now she is so much better. Avery is happy to have her mummy back and I'm so happy to have my sister back.

As I reach chris, I see the tears rolling down his cheeks.
"You look beautiful"
"You look so handsome"
He smiles at me, we face the registrar and he starts the ceremony. Everything is beautiful, Luca says a few words and we have the most magical wedding I could have ever asked for. As the officiant announces us as man and wife, chris pulls me to him and kisses me deeply, while slowly dipping me.

I can't help the giggle that comes out of my mouth, he pulls me up straight and smiles,
"I love you mrs Evans"
"I love you too Mr Evans"
He kisses me again and we turn to face our applauding friends and family.
Luca comes to stand with us and Lisa gives Lizzie to Chris. He kisses her cheeks and she lets out a giggle. She is such a daddy's girl.
Chris officially adopted her not long after we were engaged and I officially adopted Luca too. We were now all officially a family.

Hannah was given her parental rights back, and she was now living just down the road from us.
Everything was finally calm in our lives and I was so unbelievably happy.
As we make our way to the cars to move to the next venue for our party. I realise I need to tell Chris something. I have a gift for him inside our car and I'm so nervous.

Luca and Lizzie go with Lisa and we head into our car. Chris sees the box on the seat and turns to smile at me.
"What's this?"
"Open it"
He opens it up and looks at me with shock very evident on his face. He holds up a pregnancy test and smiles "really?"
I nod and he kisses me deeply "I'm going to be a dad again?"
"Yes baby you are"
He wraps his arms around me and kisses me all of over. I can't help but giggle.
"Remind me to thank Luca"
"Luca?"
"Yeah, if it wasn't for him I would never have met you and I wouldn't be here with you right now, with two amazing kids and" he places his hand on my stomach "one on the way"

I feel a tear drop and he wipes it away "happy tears I hope?"
"Beyond happy. Thank you Chris"
"What for?"
"For making all my Christmas dreams come true"
"Right back at you Mrs Evans"
I giggle "I could get used to hearing that"
"Well.....that's good because I'm never going to get bored of saying it"
He kisses me again as we pull up to our venue ready to party the night away with everyone we love. My life is truly blessed and I couldn't be any happier then I am right now. Sometimes life throws things at you, but when you come out stronger and finally find the one man your meant to be with, well you truly have to start believing in miracles.
