I woke up the next morning and felt around for the warmth I had last night but nothing was there. I got out of bed and pulled the covers back into place. I walked put of the room and then stopped when I heard Chris talking.
"Your mommy is still sleeping" I heard him say as I walked closer to the corner. I shield at the adorable sight. Chris was making breakfast and holding Emma at the same time. Emma was watching him as he made breakfast. The floor boards creaked under me and Emma turned her head and smiled.
"Mommy!" Emma said happily as Chris turned and put her down. Emma rushed over to me with excitement, "Chris is making bacon and eggs!"
"Mmm. So that's what smells nice" I said as I picked up Emma and walked back over to Chris. I gave him a kiss on the cheek before carrying Emma toward the table.
"Mommy! Look!" She said pointing to the window. I carried her over to the window and we both smiled. Snow was softly falling from the sky above. She looked out in amazement. She loves snow.
"Breakfast is ready" Chris said.
"Can we go out and play after breakfast?!" Emma asked as I carried her back to the table and put her in her seat.
"Sure" I said kissing her cheek. I sat down on the other side of Emma and Chris sat on the other. I took two pieces of toast and put bacon inside. I took a bite making a crunching noise.
"Mmmmmm. Chris have I ever told you that you're an amazing cook" I mumbled with my mouth full.
"Many times" he said as Emma took a drink of her chocolate milk.
"Thank you again for waking up Emma for me" I said smiling.
"Don't thank me yet. Before I started breakfast we sat on the couch and watched Frozen" he said making me smile even more.
"And thank you for making breakfast" I said.
After breakfast I changed my clothes and then went over to Emma's room to find her almost ready. I walked over to her closet and took out her hat. I reached over and grabbed the brush and started to untangle the nots in her bed head. Chris was ready before both of us. I put Emma's hat on her head and picked her up. I walked back out into the living room and grabbed the keys. Chris stood there waiting. He opened the door and we all walked out. Emma stuck out her tongue trying to catch a snowflake. We walked down the street to the park and there was snow everywhere. I put down Emma but didn't let go.
"Watch" I said before letting go and she bolted for the snow as fast as possible. She excitedly jumped around. Chris couldn't help but laugh. I ran toward Emma with Chris behind me. Emma threw small snowballs at us. Snow fell around us. It was like a Fairytale. I couldn't help but smile. Chris picked me up and spun me around making me laugh. We played some more until Emma's cheeks and nose were rosy red. Chris picked her up and we started walking back to the apartment. She sniffled a little bit and then sneezed. I got my keys out and soon we were back inside the warmth of the apartment. Emma sneezed some more and I took off my jacket.
"Does she need medicine?" I asked walking over to what I call the Sick Day Stuff. I got the cold medicine ready and grabbed a bottle of water. Emma looked at the medicine as if it were poison and then buried her face in Chris's neck.
"Emma you have to take medicine. We don't want you getting sick" Chris said soothingly. Emma slowly turned her head towards me and quickly took the medicine and then took a small sip of water. Her face scrunched up at the medicines taste. Chris put Emma down and took off her jacket. Emma bolted for her bedroom as Chris began to take off his jacket.
"Hey, Riley. Would you like to come over to my place for dinner? You and Emma" Chris asked smiling.
"I'd love to Chris" I said kissing his cheek.
"Awesome" Chris said happily, "after Christmas break I have to go back to LA."
"Maybe me and Emma could come with you" I said smiling.
"If you want to" Chris said.
"Emma has never been to DisneyLand" I said.
"Then we'll just have to change that" Chris said as he took my hand in his. He used his other hand to tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. We found ourselves leaning in and he planted a soft kiss of my lips.
"Promise you'll never leave me" I whispered.
"I promise" he whispered softly, "I love you to the moon and back."
