She hugged him back tightly, her arms holding onto his neck. "I'm sorry, babe, but I barely remember anything from that night," she said, laughing as she spoke. Then she pulled away, her expression and voice softening. "But I'm glad it happened..."

He met her eyes. "Me too, Rosie. It's the best damn thing that's ever happened to me. I have you, and ya gave me my daughter...I'm never gonna be able to repay ya for that."

"Well, you just did a little... Few more times like that, I think we'll be even," she told him, a twinkle in her eye.

He laughed out right, then stopped when he hear Savannah on the monitor. He waited a beat, but she quieted down.
He kissed Rose's temple, then admired the ring on her delicate finger. "D'ya like it?"

"Oh, I love it," she replied, holding her hand out and staring at it. "Did you pick it out all by yourself?"

He blushed, grinning. "Yeah. I figured ya'd want something more unique than just a diamond. And ya always look so pretty in blue."

She turned to look at him, bringing her arms up to frame his face with her hands. "You did good, my love. You did real good," she said softly before leaning in to kiss him.

He grinned and kissed her back, laying her down and leaning over her. "I sure did."

"I can't wait for tomorrow morning," she said, already sounding excited. "You're going to love your presents. And Savannah's going to love hers, too!"

He chuckled, nuzzling her. "Baby's first Christmas, and all. You gonna take a ton of pictures?" Of course she was.

She rolled her eyes, not even bothering to answer the question verbally. Then she looked up at him, her expression a bit cautious. "So, just to warn you...I really spoiled you this year. BUT," she said quickly before he could interject, "I figure the next however many Christmases of our lives, we'll be focused on Savannah and any other kids we might have. And 'Vannah's not old enough to really appreciate presents yet, so I thought I'd spoil you..."

"Well, then, let's go to sleep now! The sooner we go to sleep, the sooner we can wake up!" Of course that had been her philosophy as a child; she'd be in bed on Christmas Eve by 7 at the latest. Some years, she even ate her dinner in bed with her pajamas on.

He laughed. "I'm not sure it works that way, but alright." He crawled in beside her, pulling her into his arms. "Best year a' my life, baby. Best year a' my life."

She closed her eyes, wishing she would fall asleep immediately. "Me too," she murmured, pressing her cheek against his chest.
The next morning, Rose woke up somewhat early. Earlier than Tyler, at least. She started off this Christmas morning the same way she started off last Christmas morning, by sneaking out of bed, hoping Tyler wouldn't wake up. Instead of digging through his discarded pants pockets, however, she threw on her Christmas PJ's, dashed into Savannah's room, changed her diaper, and silently brought her into their bedroom. She sat on the bed and put her on top of Tyler's chest, biting her lip to suppress a giggle.
