Also, thank you for those of who have commented and offered well-wishes in my difficult time. It means a lot to me. Writing these stories has been my strength (as silly as that sounds) and has grounded me.

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. It means so much to me. More than you can imagine. These stories (this one in particular) are my babies and I adore the reviews and comments I receive. Much, much love to ALL of you!

Chapter 31: The Hospital at Christmas

I was laying in our bed, completely blissed out. I felt Edward's warm body behind me and he was holding me tightly. I was on the cusp of being awake and asleep. As I lay there, I heard Edward's voice sing lightly behind me. It was slightly rough, but perfect. As he sang, I nestled back into his chest, relishing the moment.

Winter snow is falling down
Children laughing all around
Lights are turning on
like a fairy tale come true.

Sitting by the fire we made
You're the answer when I prayed
I would find someone
and baby I found you.

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
and I'm thankful every day
for the gift.

Watching as you softly sleep
What I'd give if I could keep
Just this moment
if only time stood still.

But the colors fade away
And the years will make us grey
But baby in my eyes
You'll still be beautiful.

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful every day
for the gift.

All I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more every day
You saved my heart
from being broken apart
You gave your love away
I can't find the words to say
That I'm thankful every day
for the gift.

"Hmmmm," I murmured. "You have a voice like an angel."

"Thank you," he blushed. I turned and looked at him. His hair was gloriously messy, his jade eyes were bright and loving and he was lightly tracing patterns on my naked back. "You are such a gift, my beautiful girl."

"Did you write it?" I whispered.

"No. Jim Brickman did. However, it has always been a favorite Christmas song for awhile," Edward replied. "I've always wanted to share it with someone who I adored. Now, I've shared it with you."

I reached up and gently kissed his swollen lips. His stubble rubbed against my skin and I pulled him closer to me. I opened my legs and his erection pressed against my thigh. I smiled as I twisted my fingers into his hair. As sore as I was, I wanted to feel him. I gently guided him so he was hovering over me. Edward pulled away, giving me a wary look. I reached up and kissed his mouth fully, letting him know my intentions. Edward reached between us and felt between my legs. He groaned at the arousal I had. His voice, his sexy, velvety voice did that to me. He removed his fingers and he slid into my body. I hissed and I clamped my legs around him. "Bella," he whispered. "Are you okay?"

"Just a little sore, but I'm fine," I said, looking up at his eyes. "I need you. I need to feel you. Please? Just go slowly." Edward nodded and with reverence, he moved in and out of my body. With soft lips and tender caresses, he kissed my lips. He touched my breasts and quietly brought me to my climax. It snuck up on me and I didn't realize it was happening until my body started shuddering in ecstasy. My breaths came out in erratic pants and I had no control over my body as I arched into his, begging him to plunge deeper into my core. Edward's eyes widened as he watched me climax. I could feel his own body respond to mine and his cock hit inside me. His lips were everywhere and I wanted more. I wanted him. Only him. Edward's eyes captured mine and as he moved within me, I only saw love. With him I felt complete. Like I was home. He was my home. My everything. "I love you, Edward. Let go. I need to feel you come," I rasped. "Please, baby?"
