DOUBLE UPDATE!
WAAAAAT?!

COMMENT A QUESTION AND I'LL ANSWER.

I'll stop shouting now...sowwyyy (^-^)

I trudged through the bitter cold to Jake's apartment, leaning against the nipping wind.

I reached his door and opened it quickly, slamming it closed behind me.

Jake's POV

" MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE, TABBY! " I shouted as she entered the apartment.

" Jake ! Scanraithe tú dom! " she gasped.

(Shan-ratha too dum!) ((Jake! You scared me!))

She'd always speak her first language when I frightened her. Like if I jumped out on her or surprised her.

I'd decorated the living room with tinsel and paper chains and a little tree in the corner.

It was so interesting listening to her sing in her mother tongue. If time allowed it I'd listen forever. She was so pretty when she sang, with a little smile dancing across her lips, she'd sing really fast and I could never keep up.

I wrapped her up in my arms to warm her up.

She snuggled up to me under my chin.

" Look! Your hair's growing back! It looks so nice! " I said, running my fingers through the little tufts of her growing hair.

It was so short and wavy now, I loved it. It was perfect.

" An raibh tú lá maith? " she said.

(Ann raff too la math?) ((Did you have a good day?))

" What? Babe, English please! Jakey no understandy! " I laughed.

She giggled and put her head on my chest as she sighed.

She'd sometimes have whole conversations with me in Irish and she wouldn't even know it. I heard her singing in the shower all the time but I could never understand her. The only thing about her language I could register was 'Hello, how are you? and The First Steps. Which was a song she liked but I couldn't pronounce. It was something like...ach ghiad hum? Anyway, that's beside the point.

" I asked if you had a good day? " she said.

" I had a great day, babe. But you make it just that touch better. " I said, hanging up her bag on the back of the door.

I chuckled and kissed her all over her face.

I rubbed my nose on hers and grinned at her, helping her take off her coat.

She produced a wrapped present from her bag on the door and she placed it under the tree.

Tomorrow, we'd open our presents and have breakfast, lunch would be spent with my family and Tabby's at her sisters house.

I hoped her Dad would be there so I could talk to him.

I was planning on proposing at some point, too. Not at the party though. God, I'd never live it down if she said no in front of all those people.

I had a tiny wrapped present at the very back of the tree for her.

I was so excited to ask her.

" Do you think tomorrow will be okay? Do you think your Dad will turn up? " I asked.

" I hope so Jake. I really do. I couldn't bare it if he didn't accept you. It'd break my heart. " she said, cuddling into my chest.

I kissed her forehead, closing my eyes.
