She woke up from the aromatic smell of an herbal tea. She sat up and the first thing she saw was a smiling face of her husband. Her heart started beating crazily. She's happy that he's alive. She just got a bad dream yet she's happy that it's not one of her visions.

"Good morning, my love." He kissed her forehead and gave her a piece of rose from the garden that he picked. He even prepared their breakfast and he gave her lots of kisses on the face. "Merry Christmas."

​​

"I love you." She murmured. He sat down and gave her the tea.

"So, what do you want this Christmas?" He asked and sipped on his coffee. She held the mug and smiled at him.

"Zach, you know what I want for Christmas." He reached her head.

"What is it?" He asked again.

"It's you. You are all I want this Christmas."

Zach smiled slowly and he kissed her forehead. She couldn't help but flush every time he does that. They stayed in bed for a while and Andromeda asked for updates about their subject. She needed to monitor him. She needed to make sure that he won't be able to leave the prison.

"I will tell the judge to make a schedule immediately for the hearing." She told as she reached his bruised on his biceps. "That bastard hurt you so much, I'll make him pay ten folds." She said possessively.

It's like they changed roles and she became the most possessive one and overprotective one. It's the second time that someone wanted to kill her husband and she won't let that happen again. She took a bath with him shortly and though he got bruises, he still forced her to agree about their lovemaking.

Now, she's in front of the wall mirror, facing it while he's behind, gripping on her waist as he thrust to her hard and fast as she wanted with an additional vibrator to her clitoris. Her knees are weak, and she glanced at him on the reflection. His eyes are burning to her, he kept staring at her expression through the mirror and he works harder for her.

She released for few seconds until she's drained but he kept on thrusting until he came a lot inside her, hoping that he would get her pregnant. She nearly collapsed but he held her and bring her to the bathtub filled with warm water, a little baking soda and essential oil.

She closed her eyes, tired from lovemaking and snuggled up to his chest. Zachary felt like it's their first time—since their first time is so great. They couldn't get enough of each other even though she's sore and he's tired.

"Let's go out this new year." He murmured.

"Hmm." She hugged him. "Let's stay here and forget about work."

"If that's what you want."

He knew that it was hard for her to witness something traumatic. And his job is to get her head away from it and make her forget about it. It's a bad memory.

"Let's go somewhere away from everything." He told. "I'll set the jet plane on Monday. Let's go to Tokyo." He muttered. "I want to make you forget everything that happened here. We are going to start something new."

She nodded and intertwine her hands to him.

The lunch is great, and Fin gave something that her mother loved. An original painting from the Japanese artist. She wondered how he got it. Her mother loved paintings and she also paints and sells them for auction. Although her career has been ruined because of early pregnancy, she still managed to raise her with her own money although her grandfather would provide more, Cersei wanted to provide for her on her own.

"Thank you for the gift," Cersei told Fin.

"It's nothing, Ma'am. I am glad that you like it." Fin said in very down to earth. Cersei is starting to like him. The nods and as she looked at her daughter with approval is enough to know that Cersei liked Fin.

Selina felt like she's over the moon. She looked up at him with twinkling eyes and squeeze his biceps. Fin kissed her top head and feed her more with deserts.

"This will make me fat." She pouted at him. He put away the desert and gave her the water. Then he moved his lips to her ear as she sipped on her water. After she sipped, he muttered something that shocked her.

"I'll work you out later that's why I am feeding you a lot."

Ellen visits her parents as Andel requested and they are so excited about her. Her brothers, Percy and Andrew jumped like a child and started hugging her and kissing her face nonstop. She's their only sister and they loved her. She noticed that Zach wasn't around and she understood that he's comforting Andy about the incident last night.

She loved them dearly and she's happy about their presence. She also prepared their presents and they are both dissatisfied. She kept laughing and laughing. Since every box they received has a piece of the condom. She held her stomach and stop laughing.

"Damn, that was great. By the way, all of those are glow in the dark!" She told and even their father couldn't stop laughing and she received a big thumbs up.

Moira went to her mother's monument and noticed the car and just as she expected, her father is sitting on the corner reading something. She put down the flowers and arranged it. The whole room for her mom is tidy and he also brings a bottle of wine, the one that her mother loves. She exhaled and pressed her lips as she sat down beside him.

"Grandpa raised me and he is my father of those times. But no one should see us together." She reached her chest. "It was hard for me to be alone and let the nanny take care of me. But I never received any affection from them. Grandpa is always there and he told me not to trust anyone… he's right."

"I have to thank him for taking care of you." He put a hand over her shoulder. "My father is strict and he appreciates women than men." He told. "But he's a great father."

"Grandpa isn't like that. He appreciates all of his sons and daughters. He always tells me stories about you. Great stories on how you succeed and follow his steps. Although there are choices that you made to make you miserable, he could still appreciate how you do it for the better. I don't hate you for choosing Paula over my mother… I don't hate you at all."

"I hate myself." He told. He pulled his hand and stared at the beautiful portrait of Erin. "I hate myself that I impregnate someone and not choose your mother despite that mistake. If I could go back, I would choose her all over again."

She looked away and pressed her lips. She looked at Alanis outside, waiting in the car. Then to the engagement ring that he gave.

"Dad." She calls.

Edmond stopped and he looked at her. It's the first time that he heard it from her.

"I should get used to that, right?" She looked up at him.

Edmond pressed his lips and smiled. He has never been happy. His heart is throbbing and he knew that it's love toward his daughter. All of these years, he felt how to be a father again.

"I think, I am in love with Alanis. He loved me more than I care about him."

"I will support you on your every decision. You are my little girl." He kissed her forehead.

"Thank you." She felt like she's almost complete. Her identity is almost complete.
