So This Is Christmas

Dan POV

I awoke to the sounds of my mother cooking and the smell of sweet things such as cinnamon rolls and pancakes. Kara groaned slightly and sat up, yawning before pressing sleepy kisses along my chest, the hairs rasing on my body. I tugged her up and pressed a kiss to her plush pink brims.

"Morning darling." I mumbled softly against her lips, gliding my hands along the sides of her naked tan skin. Last night felt different. Like our bond had become stronger than just our normal attraction.

"Morning my baby vampire..." She laughed slightly, running her hand along my stubbled cheek before slicking my hair back. "I do believe...you say Merry Christmas on such occassions." A smiled crossed her lips as it did mine before nodding slowly.

"Merry Christmas, now we best get dressed before my mum comes up." I laughed quietly before she crawled out of bed, she was teasing me by taking so long to pick out clothes. Slipping her undergarments on before putting on a sweater and black jeans. Glancing at me and tossing black jeans and a jumper, the boxers landing on my head. I quickly got dressed before heading downstairs, groaning at the smell of all of the food and blood? My mother had found Kara's stash in the fridge it seemed and served it for her and I.

"Morning! How did you two sleep? Merry Christmas!" Linda rushed to me, kissing both my cheeks before doing the same to Kara who was startled but laughed. Once free she sat down and took a sip of the crimson liquid before digging into a sticky bun. "The first Christmas together!" She sighed contently, a laugh passing my lips as I sat beside Kara who laughed softly.

"We slept well and yes...this is nice. A wonderful holiday it seems." I watched her as I took a sip of my own glass of blood. She seemed a bit tired, maybe overwhelmed with the whole concept of Christmas. I snatched a bite of her food before nudgin her.

"Breath, I swear it will all be good. I'm sure Kyle will come over still wearing his pajamas and Charlotte will be just as lost."

"Charlotte had a family darling. She celebrated the holidays. I only understand the concept."

"Well then for once...let me teach you something." Smiling as I stood, wiping my face with a handkerchief before taking her hand and guiding her to the livingroom. The decorations covered nearly every branch on the tree. Lights flung about the living room and tree. Of course the gifts laid about around the bottom of the tree. "This is what Christmas looks like. At least a Smith family Christmas." Smiling I pressed a kiss to her temple as I stood behind her. Just like that Christmas was perfect. Family came over. Kyle...Charlotte...never had I seen Kara smile so much. Like a human child learning. Though I could always tell she was worried in the back of her mind about Dante.
