"I love your shirt." Anika welcomed me at the cottage with a hug. We stepped inside the cottage and they all eyed on us.
"Thank you." I laughed. I pulled her onto her seat.
We all settled on our seats. Talked about things and our upcoming vacation. The maids already put foods on each of our plate. Glad that my appetite was a little good now. I can eat the foods that they prepared.
Dinner was really good. Our maids quickly wiped away all the mess. Wines, liquors and juices were already placed on the table. They also prepared nachos, fries and dips and sweets. Gifts were already here also, gift giving time.
Mom went first, Dad followed then Lucy then Anika. They all gave their gifts to all of us.
"My turn." Sierra smiled. She gave the gifts to the rest of the gang. She held the two last gifts in her hand.
"This is for this little girl." Sierra handed the pink polka gift wrapped to Alistaire.
"What will you say?" I smiled at Alistaire. She hesitated to accept the gift at first. Alistaire knew that Sierra and I was still in not good terms.
"Thank you Aunt Sierra." Alistaire placed a kiss on Sierra's cheek. Sierra stood in front of me. Everyone was looking at us, smiling.
"Steph. Everything seemed to be different, since the day that we had fought. I know it's my fault. I'm sorry. I miss you so much. I miss you." She hugged me as she started to cry. I accepted her hug and comforts her.
"It's okay. Stop crying." I rubbed her back and released myself from the hug. I wiped her cheeks with the tissue that i am holding.
"Sorry Steph." I nodded and placed a kiss on her forehead. She gave the gift to me and i thanked her for that. She sat back on her seat and smile appeared on her face.
Josh followed and gave us the gifts. He gave Sierra two big paper bags from a famous clothing brand. Steven came next. Of course, he gave us our gifts. He gave Anika a set of jewelry. Too sweet. Never believe that my brother and sister have their loved ones now.
"All of these came from me and Alistaire." I giggly said. I let Alistaire distribute the gifts to everyone. She gave the biggest gift to Sandy and they hugged each other. That action made us all clapped and i quickly captured the moment.
"Alistaire. Where's for Daddy?" Jason asked. Alistaire looked at me, confused.
"No gift for Daddy. Right princess?" I laughed. Everyone on the table laughed. Jason fakely frowned but laughed soon.
"Steph's pregnancy was the gift son." Dad continued to laugh. Glancing towards the projector, it was now turned on. Maybe it was a family movie night.
"That was the best gift Dad." Jason kissed the top of my head then stood up from his seat.
"It's my time now." Jason laughed. He distributed all the gifts. I was excited for the gift that he will give to me, but unfortunately i didn't receive any from him.
Jason sat beside me. The soft music started to play. The same song that he sang on my birthday. The projector started it's program. I gasped as i saw our pictures on the slideshow. Photos taken when we went to the beach, Australia and all the other places. The photos was now replaced by words. I looked at him and he just smiled at me. The music that keeps serenading us as it continue. I looked at the projector reading the words carefully.
It's our first christmas that we're together. A day to cherish the moments. It's been two months that we've been together. A dream that everyone dream. I was being love by a woman that easily molded and hold my life. You are my life Stephanie. No one can change that. Life has been the best since the day that i got you. I know that we have two babies now and i'm happy to say that they've added spice to our lives too.
Seeing you having that sickness, making those tantrums, it felt so good. You are suffering while i? I'm enjoying the moments, seeing my future wife pregnant and carrying our baby. I'll never get tired of those. I'll be here. I love you. I don't care if you need to stay up because your craving or your crying for the whole night because of nothing, i stay with you, like i always did. I will protect you and i will protect the two little kiddos. You're more than anything else in this world. I love you baby. I love you.
The slideshow stopped but the soft music continued. I cried while watching those. I glance to his seat and saw that his not there. One at a time, our maids enter the cottage. The first maid, handed me two envelopes. Second, a pink paper bag, it's lingerie i think. Third, three different paper bags. All of them handed me those. I saw Jason walking towards me. He gave me a bouquet of white roses as he reached me. He pulled me up from my seat then hugged me.
"I'll never get tired of surprising you. Wait for more." He softly whispered. I was stunned by his actions. The feeling that we were in front of my family, but it seemed like they were not here, cause it's only him that you can see as of this moment.
The rest of the night seemed so long. Dad and the boys took some liquors, while girls remained chatting. Of course they teased me about his surprise to me. We also talked about tomorrow's event, we'll be having a charity works.
We were now in bed, waiting for drunk Jason that was on the shower.
"You close your eyes now. Don't wait for Daddy." I kissed Alistaire's forehead. She's holding her feeding bottle and still trying to open her eyes.
"I love you princess. Mommy will never get tired of loving you." I hugged her lightly as tears started to fall down on my cheeks. Gifts were just gifts, but those people that came in my life, like Alistaire and Jason, they brought happiness and fulfillment in my life.
"You crying?" I felt the bed sank. I wiped my tears away and peck a kiss on my daughter that was already sleeping.
"You feeling dizzy? I can get you medicine." I climbed out of the bed but he grabbed my arm and pulled me into his lap.
"Thank you for the gift. I love you." He whispered. I placed his gift a while ago after i showered. I left it in the bathroom. I bought him an expensive watch and a digital SLR.
"Anything for you." I got up from his lap then turn around to face him. I bent in front of him and i cupped his cheeks then looked straight in his eyes.
"I am the luckiest to have you." I peck a kiss on his lips then made my way to the bathroom. I was only wearing his shirt and under this was only my undies.
I made my way back to my bed. His lying and hugging Alistaire.
"Let's sleep. We have an early drive tomorrow." I tapped his shoulder as i climbed in the bed. He placed a kiss on Alistaire's cheeks then moved on his place. I tucked myself under the comforter. I'm too sleepy. Good that this little kiddo inside my tummy, wasn't making any tantrums now.
"Night. I love you." I lean on my elbows as i reached for him. I peck a kiss on his lips but he pulled more and we started to deepened the kiss.
----------------
I woke up seeing myself above his body. Well, it's really a good morning for me. I placed kisses on him. I felt hands on my butt. I slowly removed myself on top of him, i know it will lead on something again.
"Morning Mr. Red." I softly laughed. I moved closer to Alistaire then hugged her.
"Morning too Ms. Lim." He tucked his head on my shoulder then hugged me. Alistaire statted to move so i released her from my hug. Waking up next to them was the best and i will miss this little girl if she will sleep on her own room soon on our house.
We started to prepare. Shower, put on our comfortable clothes and made our way downstairs. Everyone was dressed and ready to go. We grabbed some quick snack and started to jumped inside the car. We were heading to the orphanage that was fully sponsored by our families. Lucy and Mom was the sponsor of this orphanage since then.
We reached the orphanage after an hour. It's an old building surrounded by trees and has a field. We entered the building and we were welcomed by wonderful smiles from the kids.
"Mrs. Lim. Mrs. Red and Mr. Lim, it's nice to see you." Sister Vianney welcomed us. Sister Vianney was part of the group of nuns that run our highschool school. She's the most lovable in their group.
Hugs and greetings is what we got. We can't say that Alistaire was my daughter and i'm pregnant because i'm still attending school that was run by nuns. They will drop me off the school if they know that. We'll just pretend that i'll be living to other country as long as i am pregnant. Mom already handled everything. If your family is influential, don't worry about the things around you.
Day just went smoothly. Gifts and other stuffs that we have was already distributed to the kids. It's really a part of christmas that we shouldn't miss. We already left the place. It's quite tiring at all. Being pregnant, tiredness always came along. Tomorrow will be the house blessing of our house and it's gonna be a one tiring day also.
