The kitchen door opened and Dan was stood there smiling with an apron on, a pan in one hand and a whisk in another.

“Hey baby...you’re home early.” He smiled placing both items down on the side unit.

“Err yea...I finished my files quicker than I expected.” I stuttered... “Not interrupting anything am I?”

“No you’re not interrupting...but I know you’re trying to think what occasion you’ve missed aren’t you?” he laughed causally walking over to me and I nodded slightly confused.

“Six months ago...to this date...” he began and my mind whipped back to the beginning of summer... “Was the night I kissed you in the kitchen...the night I got the courage to show you how I truly felt.” He beamed wrapping his his arms around my waist.

“Oh wow...six months, is that it? Seems much longer.” I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck.

“I know...but it’s been the best six months of my life.”

I raised my eyebrow at him and he smiled. “I know it might not have been the smoothest six months but they were all with you.”

I could feel a big cheesy grin on my face as he spoke. Just when I thought I couldn't love him more than I already did, he proves me wrong.

“So I thought I'd treat you tonight. Now take off your shoes and relax, dinner won't be long.”

“You cooked?” I asked

“Yea, I rang mum and she talked me through it.”

“Aww bless you .” I smiled leaning in and giving him a kiss. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome baby. Now go upstairs and get changed, I'll be up on a minute.”

“Okay .”

I toddled upstairs and changed into in pink onzie. Letting my hair fall out of the tight grip I keep it in for work and running my fingers through it. I heard Dan run past my room and up to his to get changed. Minutes later my door opened and Dan was stood in my doorway in his sexy dark blue onzie as well and a beanie on his head.

"You ready ?" he asks

"Yea. Now don't we look cute in our onzies." I laugh

"It’s because we come as a pair you and me...always have...always will." he simply replied causing me to press my lips against his in a sweet embrace.

"Love you." I smile

"Love you too Tink."

Linking our fingers together we walked downstairs and into the kitchen, which was spotless. I didn't know how he did it. I always made a mess...he was cooking in future.

"Take a seat ." he smiled going over to the oven as I sat down and watched him sort out dinner, this was an unexpected surprise to say the least.

"Oh my god Dan, that was amazing." I smile rubbing what felt like my very bloated stomach.

"Thank you baby." he grinned so proud of himself linking our fingers together across the table.

"You can cook more often."

"Well I will have to learn more dishes first otherwise all you'll be getting out of me is this sausage casserole."

"Fine by me , that was lush and by the end of this pregnancy I doubt I'll be able to reach the cooker."

"Don’t worry baby, I'll be taking care of you...both of you." he replied with a sincere smile on his face and squeezing my hands tight. I blew him a kiss over the table but that didnt seem good enough because seconds later I was wrapped up in his arms as his lips met mine in a passionate kiss.

Dan cleaned up our dishes and popped them into the dishwasher as I grabbed desert out of the fridge...Strawberries.

My boy knew me well.

Moving into the living room I curled up in the corner of the sofa as Dan put on Pretty Woman for us to watch.

"Nothing like a good chick flick." I mumble popping a chilled strawberry into my mouth.

"I'm only watching this because I know you love them."

"Liar...I know you love all the romance and the kisses."

"I only enjoy them with my girl." he huskily whispered down my ear and I leant back into him.

"Well I do enjoy them with my boy as well." I reply. Sighing as I feel Dan placing heavenly kisses down my neck. Turning to face him, I pushed him down on the sofa then proceeded to lie on top of him.

I lightly touched his lips with mine before pulling away, for only seconds later to be pulled back as Dan's hand grabbed the back of my neck pushing our lips back together again.

After about ten minutes of heavy kissing & body fondling, I lean back and sit up on his crotch; Dan just lay there looking confused at me. "What’s wrong?"

"This isn't romantic." I laughed

"What do you mean ?" he replied before looking around the room at the candles and rose petals everywhere.

"This onzie...I mean it's cute but it's giving me one hell of a wedgy when I was lying on top of you. I replied causing Dan to laugh.

"Well then there's only one thing to do." Dan replied pulling his beanie off his head and throwing it into the other sofa.

"What?"

"Strip." he winked and began slowly unzipping my onzie.

***

Standing up, I bit down on my lip as his fingers skimmed down my body as he slowly unzipped me. Our eyes were locked on one another’s as Dan slowly ran his hands up my body before rolling his hands over my shoulders allowing my onzie to fall to my feet. I wasn’t as mean and unzipped him rather swiftly, allowing his to fall to his feet right next to mine. Almost instantly I was pulled close to him, gazing into his eyes I saw a mischievous smile creep up on his face. Leaning in his lips melted into mine as his hands skimmed up my back. Unclasping my bra within a matter of seconds, he pulled it from my chest allowing it to join our onzie’s on the floor. Our lips never parted but our kisses becoming more passionate by the second. Standing in only our underwear, I felt Dan’s hands playfully skim across the top of them. He knew how much I hated him teasing me, two could play at this game. So I slowly ran my finger around the top of his boxers, dipping them slightly into the waistband at the front before stopping. I heard Dan groan into our kiss as I stopped, causing a smile to play on my lips, I pulled away.

“Why are you teasing me so badly.” He moaned between kisses

“You are just as bad with me.”

“I am not.” He grinned before slipping his hand into my knickers, causing my body to fold into his and a gasp to leave my mouth...I wasn’t ready for him to do that.

“Cheeky.” I smirked at him before pulling him back for another kiss. A couple of seconds later I pulled down his boxers as Dan has tugged at my knickers before falling onto the sofa with me sat on Dan lap. Quickly switching positions so Dan was now lay on top of me and gently parting my legs with his knee, he grabbed the blanket from the back of the sofa, allowing it to cover us as he pushed himself into me.

Letting out a low moan as we made love, his hot breath hitting my neck as our feet tangled beneath the blanket.

Curling up to Dan as he spooned me afterwards was always a highlight for me. I loved how intimate it as. The movie still wasn’t over so Dan wrapped his arm over me and pulled the blanket over us more.

“Happy Anniversary baby.” Dan whispered down my ear. Turning over to face him, I placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

“Happy Anniversary. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

***

Before we knew it, it was Christmas Eve. Luke and Evie had returned from their honeymoon even more loved up than before and with killer tans that made me and Dan incredibly jealous.

The houses me and Dan had looked at lately never felt like home. I was gutted because I wanted to sort out moving as soon as we could after the holidays. I wanted to make our house a home before our baby came along and I wanted a home like me and Evie grew up in, a house me and Dan could fill with memories. I knew we’d find it, we just had to look a little harder.

Walking into the kitchen, a strong smell of Turkey hit me. Making my mouth water. “That bird smells soo good.” I smile over at Evie who was peeling spuds.

“Tell me about it. Hope it comes out well though.”

“Should do but it’s got a good three hours left yet.” I reply. I was attempting to cook us Christmas dinner. Me and Evie usually alternated between Dan’s family and Luke’s. But with me being with Dan now and Evie married to Luke, we didn’t want to spend Christmas without one of our boys. So this year we were having Christmas day just us four, then on boxing day me and Dan were going to his family, while Evie and Luke go to his. The only fair way we thought.

Our living room had a warm red and gold Christmas glow. Our tree decorated beautifully in the corner with our presents in small piles underneath. I loved this time of year.

Once we had peeled all the veg for dinner tomorrow, me and Evie curled up on the sofa together watching Home Alone. Half way through Home Alone 2: Lost In New York the boys walked through the front door.

“Where have you boys been all day?” I yawned from the sofa, my eyes still firm on the TV.

“Dan wanted to buy you a last minute present.” Luke replied

“Last minute indeed.” I laugh slightly leaning up to kiss him as he leant over the sofa.

“You okay baby?” Dan asked before heading towards the stairs “Yea.” I replied

“How you doin Eves?” Luke asked Evie locking up the front door. “Yea just exhausted.” Evie sighed rubbing her stomach

“How’s nudge been?” Luke asked sitting down next to her stroking her bump.

“Been busy today. Doesn’t seem to be keeping still.”

“Will all be worth it in the end.” He beamed before placing a kiss on her bump and a huge grin came on Evie’s face.

Minutes later Dan came down the stairs and pulled me into him as we watched the rest of the movie.

“Evie when are we going to get to go to New York?” I laugh looking over at her. Ever since watching this movie when we were little, Evie and I had planned one day for us to go to New York. But with things getting in the way over the years, and now with both of us pregnant, looks like our trip to the big apple will have to wait.

“I guess we won’t now.” She sighed

“Have to wait for these two to be older. Then we can leave them with their daddy’s.” I smile over to Dan.

“We’ll see.” Dan laughed nervously, glancing at Luke. Who smiled at us.

Once the movie had ended we ordered take-out as me nor Evie couldn’t be bothered to cook. Taking the turkey out of the oven I checked it was cooked before placing it onto a large plate and covering it in foil, ready for one of the boys to carve tomorrow. Luke had to drain the fat from the turkey, the thought made me and Evie want to be sick. Keeping it to make homemade gravy to go with our dinner. We spent the rest of the evening watching Love Actually and eating chinese before going up to bed.

Dan was beyond hyper, he loved Christmas. Bloody big kid, but he made me more excited, so I didnt mind. Lying my head on Dan’s chest, he wrapped his arm around me pulling in close.

“Night ...I love you”

“Night Dan, I love you too.” I replied giving him a quick kiss and falling asleep.
