'May?' 'Hmmmm..' We were home now as we got home yesterday. I was still very tired cos Nicky and Skye woke up three times last night and I didn't have the heart to wake Mark up. He was sleeping like a giant baby so I ended up sitting on the rocking chair, carrying Nicky and Skye in turns. I ended up having Skye in my arms and slept until morning, well until Mark woke me up if it wasn't morning yet.

Mark took away Skye from my arms and I went straight back to sleep on the rocking chair. But Nicky started crying his lungs out. I opened my heavy eyes and automatically walked toward the baby crib to take Nicky in my arms.

'Go back to sleep sweetie. I'll take Nicky, Skye's still asleep.' I was so tired I jumped straight to bed, feeling as if my body was about to break away. I didn't know how long I dozed off but I could feel something was tickling my nose. When I opened my eyes I saw Mark was tickling my nose with a feather.

'Hello darling. Good morning and Merry Christmas Mrs.Feehily-to-be!' I smiled at Mark and leaned closer to him to kiss him. 'Merry Christmas to you too sweetie. I love you!' Mark smiled and the sparkle in his eyes were going brighter and brighter everyday.

'What are Skye and Nicky doing?' 'They're awake now, missing their mam. They're completely bored by their da. Entertaining babies are not my speciality.' Mark grinned and I laughed. 'Breakfast are ready hun. I've cooked it especially for you.' Mark grinned again and blushed.

It had been so long since I kissed his blushing cheek so I rushed over to him and gave his rosie cheek a kiss. But Mark blushed even more so I asked him, 'What's wrong sweetie?' 'Your nightie is off May.' His cheek went even brighter. Embarrassed, I turned my eyes and say my nightie lying on the bed.

'Maaarrrkk..' I slapped Mark playfully. I grabbed my nightie and quickly put it on. 'I mean what if Nicky and Skye saw you like that? Don't I get the only access?' Mark gave me a huge grin and I cracked into fits of laughter. 'You're hilarious hun. Come here, give me a kiss please.' Mark leaned over and gave me a long kiss.

When he finally pulled up I asked him, 'Sweetie, are we too late for the Feehilys Christmas gathering?' 'But I thought you are too tired cos of the babies May.' 'It's okay. Come on, I'll eat my breakfast...' 'Okay, we can go, as long as you're not too tired May. And about breakfast, I'm having it with you and then we can get Nicky and Skye ready okay? Here, I'll take Skye and you can take Nicky. Let's go have our breakfast.' I took Nicky and we walked to the breakfast table holding hands.

'MARK? Oh my GOD!!!! You must be joking!!!' I looked at Mark and he had this beautiful smile I had never seen before and nodding at the same time. He had put on the Christmas tree complete with everything in blue, my fave colour, and huge Christmas presents around the tree. It looked like a display on Harrods and it was so beautiful I started crying. We couldn't put the tree on yesterday cos we were too tired, coming back from the hospital. Plus Nicky and Skye were a bit cranky yesterday.

I quickly put Nicky and Skye on the couch and hugged Mark tightly. 'Mark sweetheart, this so beautiful. This is a gorgeous surprise! Thank you soooo much! I love you darling, I'm glad I have you in my life.' I was crying and Mark kissed my tears. 'I love you too May. This is nothing comparing to what have you given me since I met you.'

We kissed for a long time and only stopped when Nicky and Skye started crying. 'So you guys are jealous huh?' Mark said and I broke into laughter again.
