Christmas day had arrived and our house was bursting with energy having made the decision lunch today would be at our place, Our parents however had taken it upon themselves to prepare the food and with the heat the way it had been in the lead up we decided to not do the traditional Christmas roast and opted for cold meats, seafood and salad.

I has worn a new dress I had purchased just for today, a black boat neck singlet top that joined an a-line skirt, it had a single green Christmas tree on the front surrounded by snow and red hollies, I left my hair out letting it fall down my  back and chose to keep my feet bare. 

Jackson had tried to carry on as normal as he could after yesterday and even spoke to his Mum about a girl he had met at tafe name Harper. Speaking of Sophia she along with my parents had seemed quite jittery throughout the day - I was wondering if they were picking up on any tension between Jax and I. 

After eating myself stupid and practically falling asleep at the table Jackson helped me to my room for a 'mummy nap', waking what seemed like minutes later to my Mum knocking on the door,

"Skye, are you awake sweetie, you've been in here for 3 hours" she smiled sweetly at me,

"Sorry Mum, what time is it" 

"Almost 6, Jackson is going to take us home, we've had a few too many" she chuckled,

"Ok Mum, I will come and say goodbye" I Made my way to the lounge room kissing and hugging all 3 of them, wishing them a Merry Christmas one more time. Jackson turned to me as they walked to the car,

"Skye, I didn't get you a Christmas present, but there is something for you out on the deck, just please promise me one thing" he sighed "Just be sure ok" I nodded, completely unsure of what he was saying, he kissed me cheek and left taking our parents with him.

The entire patio was covered in fairy light shining beautifully as the sunset in the background, Maroon 5's 'Never leave this bed' played on the outdoor speaker and I swear my heart stopped as the figure standing on the deck walked towards me, dressed in navy cargo shorts, a white linen button up shirt and black vans, the light stubble on his face was now much thicker as though it had been too long since his last shave,

"Hey baby girl" he said, now close enough for me to touch, Speechless I wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face in his chest drowning his shirt in sobs,

"Shhhhhh baby, I'm here, Ugh I love you Skye" I pulled back to look at him without letting go,

"Tyler? Is this real?"

"Real as life baby"

"Kiss me" I asked him, his mouth closing on mine before I actually finished speaking, his tongue demanding instant access which I granted, his hands running down my back and grabbing ahold of my butt.

"Oh my god Tyler, How are you here"

"Long story baby, My god you look so beautiful Skye" his fingertips stroking my cheeks before he placed his hands on my stomach dropping to his knees,

"Look at this, my beautiful baby growing inside you" he placed a kiss on my belly which was met with a swift kick "Woah" he said sitting back on his feet "What was that" I looked at his gorgeous face smiling up at me,

"Tyler, that was your son saying hello" he blinked a few time as if trying to fully understand what I was telling him, finally standing up, he questioned me

"My Son?"  I nodded,

"Yes Baby" I cupped his face wiping away a single tear that had fallen from his eyes, "We are having a little boy" He picked me up in his big arms swinging me around once before setting me back down to my feet and kissing me again.
