As soon as we got back from our honeymoon I met May at her clinic, as promised. She ran all the tests and set up the ultra sound.
May: It's hard to say for sure but if I were to guess I'd say 7weeks.
Rylee: Halloween!
I gasped as my cheeks flushed while the images flashed of our love making on Halloween night at the old apartment. The first night we were intimate after losing our first baby. The night we got our freedom back.
May: Congratulations momma. When are you going to tell Dante and Gram.
Rylee: You think you can keep a secret till Christmas?
She gave me a stern look that made me laugh.
Rylee: Ok, ok. So when will this little bundle of joy arrive.
May: About the first week of August.
I shiver from a slight chill.
May: What's the matter.
Rylee: It seems ironic. The Gala was on my little brothers birthday, the day I lost our first. This baby was conceived the night we got our lives back. And now it could be born on or near my brothers birthday.
She pats my knee with a big smile.
May: The lord works in mysterious ways. Come on let me take you to lunch and celebrate. You can tell me all about the honeymoon.
Christmas Eve rolled around and I found myself somewhere I wasn't sure I'd ever be. Surrounded by family. Gram,May,Jason with his wife and three kids, James, Tammy and her daughter, Erik with his new girlfriend and Sam and his wife. After stuffing our selves James snuck out and came back dressed like Santa for the kids who were from the ages 5 to 10.
With the kids all occupied with their new toys the adults all participated in a comical white elephant gift exchange. Which Trevor and Levi showed up for with their girlfriends. Once things began to settle, May and I served coffee and cocoa to everyone as they all gathered near the over sized fire place. James picked up one of the Christmas books I had given the kids. The night before Christmas. Shortly after, Jason gathered up his sleepy crew and left, along with James, Tammy and her daughter.
As I was sweeping past the entertainment room my eye caught sight of the black grand piano in the corner by the large bay window. The moon was full reflecting of the white snow casting a blue glow around the piano, drawing me to it. I lightly ran my fingers over the keys as a chill shot through me. The conversation Gram and I had when we were down in Virginia about what we wanted after we had our lives back came to me.
Gram" I'd love to hear you play piano again"
And again on my wedding day when he proclaimed it was all he wanted for Christmas. I took a deep breath as I sat on the soft leather cushion.
Dante's perspective:
I watched from the door way as she sat down on the piano bench and finally let go. Her eyes where closed as her fingers danced with the ivory. The pale blue glow of the moon hugged her small frame like and angel. The beautiful sound of Beethoven (Moonlight Santana) echoed through the room and carried down the halls. Gram stood beside me with May attached to his side. If I didn't know any better I would say he had tears in his eyes. We both knew that was the last song she had played. She couldn't bring her self to finish it the day I proposed to her at St Francis when she came to the part her family was killed.
Everyone that remained had now piled into the room as she effortlessly sailed through the traumatic notes and finished the piece with such emotion and confidence there was not a single dry eye. She seemed oblivious to the claps of her audience. I wanted nothing more than for everyone to vanish so that we could be alone but this was something between her and Gram. It was his only Christmas wish to hear her play. I watched with a tinge of jealousy as he crosses the room placing a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him like a daughter would a father looking for approval. He leaned down kissing her forward head and whispered something no one else could hear. A big warm smile spread across Rylees angelic face as she hugged his waist. He rejoined May at the near by love seat while Rylee filled the house with the sound of silent night.
Trevor and Levi left with there dates soon after. Erik had disappeared with his date to his room on the other side of the house. Gram and May bundled up and ran through the falling snow to their house.
Rylee: Thank you for everything. Tonight was something I didn't think I'd ever have again.
Dante: Neither did I till I saw you standing in front of the elevator at Bane Financial 6 months ago, and now that I finally get you all to my self.
I swing her over my shoulder and carried her upstairs tossing her onto the bed.
Dante: You're wearing way too many clothes.
I shed my clothes and watched her slowly undress while I walked to the night stand and pulled out a new bigger anal plug and lube. She kneeled on the middle of the bed waiting with anticipation as her eyes widened.
Dante: Turn around and bend over.
My cock was already hard but it aches at the sight of her as she pushed her chest and elbows down into the comforter and raised her ass for me. I massaged the lube into her ass while I stroked myself and slowly inserted the the plug one bead at a time. She let out a moan of pleasure as the base rubbed flush against her flesh and my hard cock drove into her wet pussy. With each thrust my pelvic hit the base of the plug and she moaned my name. Her walls tightened around my hardness. She was close and begging for release. I pulled out abruptly and gently removed the plug. With more lube I slowly pushed my cock into her ass. She took my full length and moaned.
Rylee: Oh fuck. Yeah.
The tightness of her ass and the sounds of her breathy moans had me driving us into a new kind of ecstasy as our orgasms pulsed through each other like waves of electricity. After a long hot shower and bathroom wall sex I cradled her in my arms beneath the heavy winter blankets and drifted to sleep.
Rylees perspective: The smell of coffee and bacon waft through the air as the morning winters sun gleamed through the curtains casting Dante's Adonis toned body with a golden glow. A smile spread wide across his face though his eyes were still closed. I leaned over kissing his sweet dimple.
Rylee: Merry Christmas.
He grabbed my hips and rolled me under him plunging his morning erection through my wetness.
Dante: Merry Christmas baby.
To my surprise we found Erik and his girlfriend Eve in the kitchen making breakfast. Eve was beautiful with her long golden brown hair, green eyes, and perfectly portioned body at 5'6. She winked at me while handing Dante and I a cup of coffee. Gram and May soon huddled in through the back door. After a way to big of breakfast, we all gather in the living room. Erik had become like a brother to me over the past couple months and sometimes I can imagine Chase would be a lot like him.
With all gifts exchanged I had one last one for Dante. I reached up under the tree where I had a small picture frame wrapped, and hidden. I returned to Dante's lap handing him the gift.
Dante: What is this.
He gave it a little shake with great curiosity. Everyone stared with their own curiousness. Mays eyes began to water knowing what it was. Gram was the only person who took notice of her and seemed to be putting pieces of a puzzle together in his mind. Dante ripped the paper away and froze. Two days ago May and I had gone to her clinic to get an updated ultra sound photo of the baby now 8-1/2 weeks. Dante peeled his watery eyes from the photo and looked into mine with such love and joy. With out a word he wrapped his arms around me and we both shared a silent cry of happiness.
May let out a sob reminding us we weren't alone. Dante pulled back never taking his eyes off of me.
Dante: We're having a baby.
He hollered for everyone to hear. Everyone clasped their hands and yelled out congratulations. Dante stood to shake Eriks hand. Erik scooped me up into a hug lifting me off the ground. Dante growled on instinct but laughed when Gram came up from behind putting a hand on Eriks shoulder. He immediately let me down and Gram engulfed me with his big arms. The girls took there turns hugging and congratulating us, when there was a knock on the door. I looked to Dante with question. It was Christmas morning and we weren't expecting anyone. He peeled open the door and looked back at me with a smile.
Dante: I almost forgot I had one more gift for you.
He opened the door all the way to reveal a big wrapped box with a lid. Before I could reach the door a tiny ear piercing bark came from inside the box. As it tipped over inside the door way, a big ball of black and tan fur came tumbling out of it. With a big squeal I dropped to my knees as the German Shepard puppy bounced happily into my arms.
Rylee: Oh Dante.
He kneeled down incasing us with warm loving arms.
Dante: Merry Christmas Rye.
I capture his lips with mine cherishing the sweet serenity of this blissful moment.
