Ryan is a no nonsense type of guy and isn't one to do the relationship thing, it's not his style.
He's more of a hit it and quit it type of guy; some label him as a bad boy, but he's just living life the way he wants to....
That is, until one day...
"Come on baby, it's time to wake up." I felt like this was a dream because I'm tucked snugly into the sheets until I felt something crawling on my chest and a small hand on my face
"Tell mommy to wake up." I groaned as I opened my eyes and Jeremiah is on my chest with the pacifier in his mouth and his Reindeer onesie on
"Why did you wake me out of my sleep?" I said tickling his sides. He giggled and laughed and kicked his feet up at me
"Merry Christmas, my love." Ryan said pulling me in to him with his shirt unbuttoned and revealing his toned bare chest
"Merry Christmas to you too." I said giving him a peck on the lips. He let me go and got out of the bed and put his house shoes on
I picked the baby and skipped down the hall to the stairs with Ryan behind us, "Let's see what daddy bought us!" I said walking down the steps

We made it to the living room and the fireplace was on along with the lights on the tree. I put the baby down and lead him to the tree. He bent down to pick up a gift and handed it to me, I looked at the name tag and gave it back to him, "You open it, it's from me." He took it back and sat down on the floor and started taking the paper off
"Aren't you gonna come down here and open gifts with us?" I asked looking back at Ryan
"No, I'll sit right here and watch." He said sitting on the side couch
"Ok suit yourself. This one is from me to you." I said handing the gift to Ryan
"Aww you shouldn't have." He smiled
"If I didn't, I would not hear the end of it." He opened the box and it was a silk button up shirt by Christian Dior
"Oh thank you baby, I love it." He smiled
"You're welcome." Jeremiah opened his gift and it was a train set and he was shaking the box up and down. I gave him another gift to open and he took his time opening that one too
"Val, the white box in the corner is for you." I crawled over and grabbed the box and I shook it around to maybe give me a hint of what's inside
"Just open it." He said. I happily opened the box and pulled out a bag that says Chanel on the front, "OMG! What did you get me?!"
"Open the bag, silly." I ripped out all the paper and at the bottom was a pink leather Chanel handbag and a leather jacket to match. I quickly got off the floor and jumped in his arms
"Oh I love it! Thank you so much!" I kissed him all over his face and he chuckled
"You're welcome baby. I got something else for you to." I looked at him with excitement and he reached in his pants pocket and pulled out a jewelry case
I opened it and it was a diamond bracelet. The little diamonds sparkled and twinkled in the light, "Ryan I love it!" He took it out of the box and put it on my wrist
"Looks even better on you." He kissed my hand and I gave him a kiss on the lips. I got down from his lap and continued to hand the baby more gifts to open. "There's another gift, but I want Jeremiah to open it." He got off the couch and went around the corner, he came back and set the box with holes in it in front of Jeremiah.
The box started to move and Jeremiah started to stick his fingers in the holes, "Take the top off." I said tapping the lid. He eased it off and a small black and brown puppy jumps out the box and in his lap. The dog licks Jeremiah's hand and all he does is stare at it
"You bought him a puppy! What's it's name?"
"I was thinking Spike, it seems well fitted for a Doberman."
I shook my head, "Of course you would buy a dog that's going to be as big as me."

After Jeremiah opened all his gifts we set him in the play pen to play with his toys and the puppy while I cleaned up all the paper and threw it in the trash. I came back to take my stuff upstairs when Ryan stopped me, "You forgot something."
"No, I checked under the tree. I got everything and I put the rest of your gifts to the side."
He took his hands from behind his back and handed me a Victoria's Secret bag, "What's this?" I asked
"Just a little something from me to you." He said with a mischievous look
I opened the bag and removed the paper to find a black lace lingerie set with the garter belt and lace thong attachment to go with. "When do you expect me to wear this?" I asked bubbly
He put his arms around my hips and kissed my lips, "Surprise me." He said huskily
"That's gonna be difficult to do, you're hard to surprise." I said faintly
He smiled, "You can do it. All you got to do is try."
"When you least expect me, I'll surprise you then. But for now, I'm going to take my presents and head upstairs." I gathered my stuff and took it upstairs to the closet. My phone started ringing so I came out the closet and went over to answer it
"Merry Christmas, Valerie Chi!"
"Merry Christmas to you too, Sammi Baby!"
"It's been awhile since we last talked, almost a whole month. How have you been?"
"Great! The baby turned one a couple of weeks ago and everyone here is doing just fine!" I said happily
"That's right! It was Jeremiah's birthday, I was gonna call but I was busy and had forgot all about it. But I'll send him something and you to."
"You don't have to do that Sammi,"
"But I want to, it's the least I can do. You are my friend and I want to send my friend a nice gift and her adorable baby." She said
"Well I appreciate it, that's very nice and kind of you. So when are you gonna visit me, I've been missing you."
"I don't know, maybe one day."
"Maybe one day? The last time you were here it was for my wedding and I had to almost beg you to come. Just think about it before I fly out to Texas and come get you myself." I laughed
"Ok, ok. I'll see what I got going on and I will let you know."
"When you do come, I'll have to introduce you to Tristyn, she's loads of fun and absolutely amazing!"
"I've seen the pics on Instagram, she seems like a lot of fun."
"She is, our trip to Vegas last month was crazy fun but I wish you could've came with us, that would've totally reeked of awesomeness!"
"Has someone been watching throwback WWE Clips of Edge and Christian?"
"Maybe.."
"I know you Val, I bet you've been having your five second flash photography moment and doing random poses."
"Wo! wo! wo! You know it!" I said
"Ok Browski, lay off the eggnog because I think you might've had too much to drink." She said and I started laughing
"Nah I'm just in a really good mood is all, don't hate me cause you ain't me, Sammi Baby!"
"No shade, I promise. I can now call you the real slim shady!" She said laughing
"Oh little Sammi tryna put me on blast?! Real nice, I'll let you know when I have a second verse for that first line and I'll let you have it so hard!"
"I'll be waiting by the phone." She said and we both started laughing
