Chapter 8
As the next week passed, Grace’s belly expanded, revealing the little creature living inside.
Mostly, life was normal. Lots of cuddles and kisses, and the occasional late-night stare-at-the-wall thinking session.
Before I knew it, Christmas was upon us.
It’s no secret we weren’t rolling in money, but I really wanted to get something I knew Grace loved. I had a feeling she was scheming something, too.
So on Christmas morning we were slow dancing in the living room when I whispered “I have a surprise for you.”
“Oh, really?” she asked, burying her head in my shoulder.
“Yepp. Wait down here and I’ll tell you when to come up.”
“Mmkay,” she said, this little smile creeping across her face.
I bolted up the stairs, and after a few minutes with more than a few snafus, I yelled, “Come up now!”
As Grace walked up the stairs and saw the present waiting for her, the look on her face was priceless. A right shiny new keyboard piano was waiting for her. She let out a not-so-little squeal of delight and immediately sat down and started playing.
Then she stood up and threw her arms around me, “Ah, Vlad, thank you so much. This is amazing. I LOVE YOU!!! Wait, I have something for you too!”
She pulled out skateboard from under the bed, and it was my turn to freak out.
“Oh wow, babe, this is awesome,” I said, and once again there was arm-throwing-around-ing.
Our other presents were just little things, and then we got a few things for the baby.
A few days after, we had a Christmas party, where we entertained the few friends we’d made. It was nice to hear from people that they thought we’d be good parents. It probably didn’t mean much to them, but to us it meant a whole lot.
Afterward, we were cleaning up in the living room, when we found ourselves under the mistletoe.
I kissed her and whispered, "You think we did good?"
"I think we did good." :lovestruc

So so so sorry for the delay. My personal life keeps interrupting my simmies.
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare.

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley.
