| “A penny for your thoughts Cowboy.” Alex said softly, as she stepped into the bedroom. Walker opened his eyes. A low growl of desire escaped from him as his body instantaneously became aroused with passion. Alex was a vision of loveliness, as she posed seductively in the door way before him, wearing a beautiful, low cut red satin negligee that clung to her slender body. Rolling over onto his side as she slowly approached the bed, he propped his head up on his hand so he could get a better look at her. Languidly, he let his eyes roam freely over her sensual body from head to toe. The negligee certainly left very little to his increasingly stimulated imagination. It was cut high up on the sides; completely exposing each of her long, shapely legs with every little step she took. The satin clung erotically to her tight and perfectly shaped buttocks. As his eyes continued their pleasurable journey upwards, he realized that the top of the negligee proved to be just as enticing; there was barely enough material to cover her firm breasts for his viewing pleasure. Starting at the swell of her breasts, he followed the path of the garment down as he discovered that it was cut all the way down to her delicious navel. Letting his eyes linger there for the briefest of moments, he let them caress their way back up to her nipples that stood taunt with excitement as they seemed to be screaming out to him for his immediate attention. When his eyes touched upon her angelic face, he saw the heated flush of desire that kissed her soft skin. He could see further evidence of her own growing excitement at her little game of seduction as her tongue darted out of her mouth to quickly wet her luscious lips with confident expectation of what they both knew would follow. As their eyes locked together in the gentle candle light, Walker could see the undeniable fire of desire that shown brightly in the blue depths of her eyes. He saw her smile of anticipation as she stopped to stand expectantly at the side of the bed as she purred, “How do you like the first of your Christmas presents darling?” “I love it. Do I get to unwrap it now?” Walker grinned slyly. “Yes you can. But only if you start with the bow.” she laughed timidly. “Start with the bow hugh?” Walker replied, as he sat up to swing his legs over the edge of the bed; throwing the covers off of his nude, muscular body. His heart raced with abandon as his manhood stood proud and hard. Placing his hands gently on her waist, his eyes hurriedly scanned the length of her body once again. When he found no bow, he turned her delicately around to survey the back of her. Now totally convinced that he hadn’t missed seeing a bow anywhere he stated disappointedly, “But Alex...I can’t find a bow.” Without saying a word, Alex turned back around as she began to let her hands caress their way down over her breasts and even further down her flat stomach before she grasped the material of her negligee. Taunting him, she began to pull the garment upwards; stopping every few inches to tease him with her torturously slow movements. Just before the junction of her thighs were to come into total view, she hesitated momentarily. Hearing Walker’s instant moan of carnality, she smiled wickedly as she pulled the garment up above her waist. Walker’s breath caught in his chest as he viewed the matching satin bow that covered the triangle of downy hair of his wife’s femaleness. Unbridled passion surged through his body as his hands touched the velvety smooth skin of her hips as he briskly untied the strings that he found there. As the bow fluttered to the floor, Walker gently leaned forward to place a kiss on her belly button. Lifting his eyes up to hers, he let his hands stroll down her thighs before moving quickly back up to squeeze her shapely buttocks as he coaxed her closer to him. With a cunning little giggle, Alex placed her hands in the middle of his softly furred chest as she gingerly pushed him onto his back in the middle of the bed. When he was lying where she wanted him, she moved onto the bed beside him. She reached out, letting her hands begin to roam the broad expanse of his muscular chest. Her feather like touch brought small moans of longing from Walker as she continued with her tormenting seduction of him. Moving slightly, she climbed upon his prone, willing body; placing a knee on each side of his hips. Leaning down she let her body glide up the length of his until she could capture his lips with hers. Walker wrapped his arms around her tightly, loosing himself in her passion filled kiss. Their tongues touched; exploring the other. Alex’s perfume filled his senses. The feel of her satin covered breasts against his chest, heightened his desire to bury his manhood deep inside of her. Running his hands down to her waist he pulled her firmly against him; rubbing the length of his swollen shaft against her stomach. Alex lifted her lips from his as she murmured, temptingly in his ear, “Is there something you need darling?” “Yeah...I need...the rest of my present.” Walker replied huskily. Alex smiled as she sat up; pulling the negligee up and over her head, tossing it quickly onto the floor beside the bed. Raising herself, she carefully positioned herself above his waiting member. Tantalizingly; she brushed his proud staff against the opening of her moistness. Walker’s moans of fervor at their slight contact, made Alex’s heart race with excitement. No matter how many times they had made love, it thrilled her beyond belief to know that she could have such an affect on this wonderful and complex man. When she felt the soft, urging motion of his hips begin, she gently lowered herself onto him inch by inch. When their joining was finally complete she paused to savor the feeling of his size that was now buried deep inside of her. The exquisite sensations ran wild threw them both as she intentionally squeezed her muscles firmly around him and began to softly wiggle her hips back and forth. Walker gasped with pleasure at her playful actions; letting the tide of rapture build to a fevered pitch with in them. When he could stand her torturous game of seduction no longer, he grasped her hips with his callused hands; imploring her to begin the rhythmic dance of making love. Their eyes locked with heated passion as they began to move as one. Tender and slow at first; letting the billows of desire build rapidly. Their combined moans of happiness filled the air as they let their hands roam and caress each others bodies uninhibited. They both knew all the secret little spots that would evoke the most enjoyment for the other. When the swells of delight rapidly threatened to end their enjoyment, Walker rolled them over; placing Alex securely beneath him. Slowing the motion of his hips down slightly; not wanting their pleasure to end quit yet, Walker lowered his head to kiss her tempting lips languidly. Placing his hand on her breast, he rolled her erect nipple between his finger tips. Her sigh of delight prompted him to move his lips down to replace his fingers as he began to thoroughly suckle first one breast and then the other. Alex entangled her hands in his hair; holding his head firmly to her as she arched her back. The intensity of the sensations that his mouth and lower body were evoking deep inside of her, electrified her entire body. No longer being able to wait for their supreme satisfaction, she pressed her hips up hard against him; her body begging for release. Knowing that he himself could not control his own release much longer, Walker reluctantly abandoned her breasts with a final kiss to each as he increased his loving movements inside of her womanhood. Their bodies shone with perspiration from their sexual heat. Time stood still as their undying love called out to each other; urging them on wilder and faster as they soared ever higher on the waves of ecstasy together. When the first of the always magical spasms of climax began to course through their straining bodies simultaneously, they clung to each other; crying out the others name. They became one body. One heart. One soul. One love. They continued to ride the wave of passion to it’s highest point of rapture, before it suddenly crested; sending them both spiraling back to earth in total gratification and fulfillment. They whispered cherished words of love to each other as they waited patiently for the last of the spasms of joy to subside and their breathing to return to normal. They gloried in the intensity of their unconditional love for each other as their arms and legs; still entwined in the aftermath of their love making, moved softly to gently caress the other. With a lingering kiss, Walker reluctantly withdrew from his wife’s warm body to roll them both onto their sides; cradling her lovingly against his body. “Merry Christmas Cowboy” Alex murmured drowsily as she gazed up into his eyes and snuggled tighter against him; placing her head against his firm, muscular chest. “Merry Christmas my love.” Walker replied in deep throaty voice, as he watched his beautiful wife’s eyes flutter shut as she drifted off in contented and fulfilled slumber. Smiling happily; Walker kissed the tip of her nose before he too closed his eyes to surrender to the waiting arms of joyful sleep. ******** Christmas morning Alex awoke to butterfly kisses being placed against her cheeks and lips. Smiling softly as she slowly opened her eyes, she sighed blissfully and stretched; placing her arms around Walker’s neck to delicately pull his lips down to meet hers in a pleasant kiss. “Good morning darling.” she said as the kiss ended all too soon. “Mornin’ sweet heart.” Walker replied with a bright smile as he continued, “I figured as excited as you’ve been for this day to get here you would have been up long ago, but instead you have nearly slept the entire day away.” he teased. Alex turned her head to look at the clock on their night stand. Swatting him playfully she retorted, “Slept the day away? Walker it is only 9:30 in the morning for heavens sake.” “Yeah it is. But I have been up since before 6.” “Well I can’t help it if someone we know doesn’t know how to enjoy sleeping later than that.” she stated as she yawned and snuggled deeper under the covers. “And besides, it’s all your fault I slept so long. You’re the one that kept me up so late last night.” “Me? Wait a minute.” Walker paused as he stooped to lift the negligee and bow off of the floor; placing them on the bed beside her as evidence before he continued, “If I remember correctly Mrs. Walker, it was you; not me, that came waltzing in here wearing these tempting little things.” Alex giggled as she replied, “Well I don’t know...” Walker growled as he unexpectedly yanked the covers off of her nude body as he grabbed her by her sides; proceeding to tickle her unmercifully. As she wiggled and squirmed trying to get away from him, her squeals of laughter echoed through out the room. “Ahhh...Walker. STOP IT! OK! OK! I give up. I’ll admit it...it was all my fault.” Walker laughed as he released her sides; raising his hands to brush the hair from her eyes as he then cupped her face gently. “Now that you have admitted your guilt...are you going to get out of this bed, or do I have to resort to a more drastic tactic?” Alex smiled devilishly up at him as she replied, “And just what would that more drastic tactic of yours be?” “Well there are several I could use, but I think the one that would make you move the fastest would be to just not give you any of the gifts that I got you. It would really be a shame too, because I know you are going to love them and I know how much you love presents.” “You wouldn’t do that to me.” Alex laughed with confidence. “Oh wouldn’t I? I guess I will just have to start with this one.” Walker replied as he stood; pulling a small box out of the pocket of his Levi’s. Tossing it up in the air and catching it several times, he began to walk slowly out of the bedroom. “You know...we could skip breakfast this morning.” Alex purred sensually. Walker turned to gaze adoringly at his wife as she smiled seductively at him. He felt the familiar stirring of desire begin to build deep inside him, but; for the moment he knew he needed to fight it and deny them both that particular pleasure. There were just too many things that had to be done. Taking one final look at his beautiful wife, he started to toss the box in the air again. He smiled at her regretfully; turning to leave. “Walker wait! Look I’m up.” Alex said; moving hurriedly to get out of the bed. Walker continued to walk out of the room as he said over his shoulder, “Breakfast will be ready in twenty minutes. If you want this,” he tossed the box up into the air once again as he finished with a serious tone of voice, “you had better be down stairs by the time I put it on the table.” Moving to descend the stairs, Walker laughed out loud as he heard Alex moving quickly around their bedroom, before hurrying into the bathroom to get her shower. ******** Walker was just placing Alex’s breakfast on the table as she entered the kitchen buttoning her shirt. “Phew...I made it just in time.” she said as she placed a kiss on his cheek and sat down at the table. “Yes you did.” Walker said as joined her at the table. “And because you did, you get to open your first present of the day.” Handing her the small box he had teased her with upstairs he leaned back in his chair as she picked it up; looking at it with a smile so bright it reached all the way to her eyes. “I thought we were going to wait and open our gifts to each other when C.D. and Jimmy got here?” she inquired. “Well since you gave me a gift to open last night, I decided you could open this one before they got here. Besides I don’t think what you gave me last night would have been...‘appropriate’ to open in front of them.” “No...it wouldn’t have been.” Alex blushed at the thought. She looked down again at the small box in her hands. “Sweetheart...are you going to open it or are you just going to look at the box all day?” “Oh.” she laughed as she began to open the package. Lifting the lid slowly, she suddenly let out a squeal of delight. “OH MY...WALKER...it’s that beautiful bracelet we saw on our honeymoon. When did you ever manage to sneak away and buy it?” “I have my sources.” Walker chuckled as she rushed to sit on his lap and began to rain little kisses all over his face. “Thank you...Thank you...Thank you. I love it.” Capturing her lips in a passionate kiss; Walker held her tightly. When they were both breathless, he cupped her face between his hands as he whispered, “You are very Welcome my love.” ******** At exactly 4 PM, Walker heard the familiar sound of Trivette’s vehicle pulling into the drive way. Calling up the stairs to Alex that C.D. and Trivette were there, he moved to the front door; opening it. “Merry Christmas Cordell.” C.D. bellowed happily as he walked in, giving Walker a big fatherly hug. “Merry Christmas Pard.” Jimmy said, placing the stack of gifts he had in his arms on the foyer table; before returning outside to bring in the rest of the gifts that they had brought. “Danged if there ain’t a pretty good nip in the air today Cordell. You know we just might get us some of them snow flurries later on.” C.D. said as he took his heavy jacket off hanging it on the coat rack. “I sure hope you’re right about that C.D. Alex has been really hoping that we would have snow at some point today.” Walker replied with a smile on his face as he patted him on the back as Trivette entered the house once again with another arm full of presents. “Here Trivette...let me help you with those.” Walker said as he relieved his partner of his burden. “Thanks Walker. Geez C.D. How come I always have to carry everything?” “Don’t whine son...it’s Christmas.” C.D. laughed as he then asked, “Where’s Alex?” “I’m right here. Merry Christmas.” Alex said as she glided down the stairs to kiss and hug both C.D. and Jimmy before moving to Walker’s side. “Alex honey you are as pretty as a picture.” C.D. stated as she smiled at him warmly. “Why thank you C.D. You look mighty fine yourself. You too Jimmy. Why don’t you men take these gifts and put them under the tree while I go get dinner on the table. Everything should be ready.” “Sounds good to me.” Jimmy replied. “I’m starving.” “You’re always starving.” C.D. chuckled. “That’s because you always make me do all the carrying Big Dog. I have to keep my strength up somehow.” “Oh hush your mouth. Here...take these and put them under the tree.” C.D. retorted as he piled gifts into the young mans arms. “See what I mean.” Jimmy moaned. ******** “Alex, that was one mighty fine spread you had here. You are turning into quit the little cook.” “Why thank you C.D., I have you to thank for all those cooking lessons you have given me over the years.” Alex replied as she sat down beside Walker who immediately put his arm around her shoulder. “So who’s going to play Santa and pass the gifts out?” she asked with excitement as she rubbed her hands together. “I have been waiting patiently all day to open presents.” “Patiently? Alex...I have been keeping you out of those gifts all day long. Every time I turned around you were shaking one of them.” Alex smacked him playfully on the chest as she replied defensively “I have not.” Jimmy laughed as he rose from the chair and volunteered to pass out the gifts. Moving to the tree he asked, “So who should I start with?” “Well I think you had better start with Alex before she bursts with excitement.” Walker stated as Alex swatted him again. As they all laughed happily, Jimmy began to hand the presents out one by one. When all the gifts were distributed, they decided unanimously that C.D. would open all of his gifts first. By the time he was finished he was surrounded by all new fishing equipment; a new top of the line rod and reel for both bass and fly fishing, new tackle box, all new fishing lures, plus a new fishing vest and hat. Placing one of the new lures on his hat, he placed it on his head as he said, “You all sure went all out this year and I wanna thank you kindly. The only thing I am missing now is the fish.” “Well Big Dog...you would have had some fish too, but Alex wouldn’t let me go to that little store to get you some. You know...the store you go to when you don’t caught anything when you do go fishing...where you buy the fish to put in your cooler and try to tell us that you caught them.” “You hush your mouth Jimmy Trivette.” C.D. scoffed; trying to keep a serious look on his face. “I won’t be having no need to stop at that there store any more. Not with this fishing gear. I’m gonna caught me some trophy fish with this stuff. You can count on that.” “I say Alex goes next.” Jimmy said. “Agreed.” Walker and C.D. said simultaneously. “Sounds good to me.” Alex replied anxiously, picking up her first gift. Within seconds her shrieks of delight filled the air after each and every gift she opened. C.D. had got her a beautiful, fawn colored leather jacket. Jimmy; who had been with C.D. when he bought the jacket, had found her a leather purse and brief case that matched the jacket exactly. Walker surprised her tremendously with the matching ring, earrings and necklace that matched the bracelet that he had given her earlier and a gorgeous dress the exact same color as her eyes. With tears of happiness, Alex hugged and kissed each of the men in her life with enthusiasm as she thanked them from the bottom of her heart. After wiping the tears of joy from her eyes, she looked at Jimmy. “OK Jimmy...it’s your turn now.” Picking the biggest of his gifts up, he weighed it in his hands before he shook it playfully. “Good Lord Jimmy...open it would ya.” C.D. said with exasperation. “All right...all right...geez...give me a chance.” Tearing the paper off of the box, Jimmy exclaimed when he saw what was inside. “Ohhhh man...Ohhhh man. Wow! Look you guys.” Raising the box he turned it in Alex and Walker’s direction, “it’s a digital camera and it has all the extras I could ever want. Wow! I have been wanting one of these so bad. Oh man. Thank you Big Dog, Thank you.” C.D. smiled brightly as Jimmy hugged him; pleased that his young friend was happy with his choice of gifts. “Open our gift Trivette.” Walker said as he handed the package to him with a big grin on his face. “This ones sure a heavy sucker.” Jimmy said as he placed it on the floor in front of him. Pulling the paper off of it hurriedly; he stopped and became utterly still, as he looked at the beautifully carved and hand painted box that was revealed underneath. “Oh my God you guys...this is beautiful. Thank you.” “Walker had it special made out at the Cherokee reservation just for you Jimmy.” Alex smiled. “It’s a gun box partner. It is big enough for your revolver; plus two others and even has room for extra ammo. It even has a hidden lock on it...right there.” Walker said as he showed Trivette exactly where the lock was because it was so well hidden in the intricate carving on the front of the box. As an after thought Walker added, “The key should be inside of it Trivette...maybe you should check inside and make sure that it is.” Trivette nodded his head in acknowledgment as he lifted the heavy lid. His eyes widened as he saw the new pistol that lay on the padded lining. Raising his eyes to first Walker, then Alex, he tried to say something but only succeeded to open and close his mouth a couple of times before letting his eyes drop back down to the box again. C.D chuckled loudly as he proclaimed, “You know, I do believe that this here is truly a day to remember. It is the only time I have ever seen Jimmy Trivette at a loss for words.” Trivette snapped out of his trance as he finally murmured, “Thank you so much Alex...Walker. I never imagined...woo...this is the best gun I ever hoped to own in my life.” “That’s because nothing is too good for the best partner in the world.” Walker stated proudly. “Thanks man.” Trivette said humbly as he shook his best friends hand firmly before kissing Alex on the cheek. “Thank you both.” “You’re welcome Jimmy.” Alex said with a bright smile. Turning to look at Walker she said; as she handed him a gift, “Well Walker...looks like it’s your turn now. Start opening Cowboy.” Turning the package over in his hands a few times, he looked up and said, “Thanks Trivette. I needed a new holster.” Trivette couldn’t believe that Walker had figured out his gift so easily. “How the heck did you know it was a new holster Walker?” “I didn’t...but I do now.” Walker laughed. “Honestly I just took a wild guess Trivette.” “Sure...a wild guess. It’s that dang Cherokee intuition of yours. Man...I hate when you do that to me.” “I’m sorry Trivette.” Walker said with a smile, as he finished opening the gift. “It sure is a beauty though. Thanks Trivette.” Walker shook the younger man’s hand. “OK Cordell, open mine now. Jimmy’s present was easy to guess. Let’s see how good you are at guessing this one.” C.D. said laughingly as he handed the gift to him. Walker took the offered gift and held it for a few seconds before he started to chuckle. Looking at Alex, he winked slyly as he turned to C.D. and responded. “You’re right C.D. This one is harder to guess. But I will give it a try. I would say it is a leather jacket that matches the one you got Alex....except....a darker color.” It was now Trivette’s turn to laugh as C.D. began to spit and sputter. “Dog gone you Cordell. How in blue blazes did you figure that out?” Walker shrugged his shoulder’s; grinning from ear to ear. “Sorry C.D.” Pulling it out of the box he stood and put it on. “Thanks C.D. It is a perfect fight.” “You’re welcome Cordell...even though you guessed it.” C.D. mumbled. Alex nodded to Jimmy and he rose and left the room. Turning her attention back to Walker as he sat back down on the couch she said, “Well...One of my gift’s to you isn’t wrapped because there was no way to wrap it. So you won’t have to worry about guessing it.” Jimmy returned carrying a brand new saddle, placing it on the floor beside Walker. “Alex this is beautiful.” he said as he gazed lovingly at her. “I can’t wait to put it on Ranger and try it out.” “Well that will have to wait cause I have one other gift for you.” Alex kneeled on the floor in front of him as she produced a small package she had hidden under the couch. Placing it in his hands she waited nervously for him to open it. “Do I have to guess what this one is too Alex?” Alex smiled confidently as she replied, “Oh you can try if you want to. But believe me, you won’t figure this one out...not until you open it anyway.” Looking at her suspiciously, Walker undid the paper on it slowly; knowing that his beautiful wife was up to something. Lifting the lid of the small box, he blinked; not quit believing what he saw. Looking into his wife’s blue eyes he whispered, “Alex?” Alex smiled on the verge of tears, as she nodded her head affirmatively. The world ceased to exist around them as they became lost in their joyous news. Walker closed the box and laid it and it’s hidden contents on the couch as he stood mechanically; as if he was in a trance. Offering her his hand, he helped her up from the floor. Placing his hands of her cheeks, he looked deeply into her eyes; questioning her silently. As she answered him by nodding again, he smiled as he hugged her tightly to him and whispered in her ear emotionally, “I have never been happier than I am right now...except for the day I married you. Thank you Alex for giving me the most precious gift in the whole world.” “You are very welcome Cowboy.” she sighed as the tears flowed unchecked down her cheeks. Brushing them away with his thumbs, Walker kissed her fervently; not stopping until he heard C.D. clearing his throat loudly. Leaning back he smiled brightly at Alex as his excitement surfaced full force. Placing his arm around her shoulder, they turned; as one, to face their dearest friends. “Are you two going to let us in on your little secret now?” Jimmy asked anxiously. “You both look like the cat that ate the canary. What are you hiding? Just what the devil was inside that box Cordell?” C.D. chimed in. Silently Walker scooped up the box, tossing the lid onto the floor. Pulling out a tiny t-shirt, he dropped the remainder of the box on the floor beside the lid. “Looks a little small for you partner.” Jimmy laughed happily, as it suddenly dawned on him what exactly their little secret was. C.D. was a little slower at figuring things out. “Alex honey...why would you buy Cordell something that small? Or did you try washing it first and ended up shrinking it?” Turning the tiny shirt around, Walker said chuckling, “It’s not for me C.D. Read what it says on the shirt and you will understand who it is for.” C.D. squinted at the lettering on the shirt as he read out loud, If you think I’m cute... you ought to see my Daddy! “Oh my good Lord...” he gasped as he looked first to Walker and then to Alex. “You mean....” “Alex and I are going to have a baby.” Walker replied proudly. The room erupted with exultation of the wonderful news. Alex cried tears of happiness as C.D. and Jimmy congratulated her and Walker. Both of them were so excited of the prospect of finally being a Grandpa and an Uncle. Walker beamed with delight as he thought of what a wondrous surprise their love for each other had created. He was going to be a FATHER and Alex was going to be a MOTHER. It was a fact so marvelous and astounding to him that it threatened to knock him right off of his feet. “Are you OK sweet heart? You look a little light headed.” Alex said as she moved back into his waiting arms. “I’m fine. I guess I am just a little over whelmed with excitement. I can’t believe that we are going to have a baby. How long have you known about this special little ‘present’ of ours?” Walker asked out of curiosity. “A little over two weeks. It was so hard not to tell you about it as soon as I found out, but I decided to wait until today. That’s why I have been acting so crazy wanting today to be as special and perfect as it could be. You aren’t upset I kept it a secret from you are you?” “No, not at all. I am too happy to be upset about anything. A baby!” he exclaimed with excitement as he pulled her tightly against him as he kissed her deeply. When they could both catch their breath after the kiss ended, Walker spoke from deep down in his heart, “Thank you for making this the most special Christmas of my life Alex. I love you more than I ever imagined I could ever love anyone.” “I love you the same way Walker.” Placing her hands; and his, on her flat stomach, she continued, “And now we have this tiny miracle that is growing inside of me that we can share our love with also.” As their lips ascended towards each others once again, they were brought back to the present as Trivette yelled from the front door, “Hey you two. Come and check this out.” They both smiled at being interrupted; which for them was a very common event, as they moved towards the open front door. Walking out onto the porch, Alex gasped with glee as she saw the rare snow that lightly covered the Texas land in front of her. “Oh Walker...I can’t believe this. I know it sounds silly but, this snow was the one thing that was missing to make my dream of having today be the most special Christmas ever for us and suddenly here it is.” Turning her sparkling blue eyes up to his she smiled as she gave him a peck on the cheek. “And once again I know for a true and undisputed fact that dreams do come true...if you want them bad enough.” she winked as she went running off of the porch to join C.D. and Jimmy in their friendly game of throwing snow balls at each other. Walker felt as if he would explode with the emotions that ran wild through his body and soul, as he stood silently watching his wife and their two best friends frolic and laugh together. Family...the one thing he had longed for so desperately since the untimely deaths of his parents. A family consisting of people who would love him unconditionally and accept him for who he was. People he didn’t have to prove anything too other than his love for them. A family was a concept that; for all too many years, had seemed destined to be forever out of his reach. But then suddenly; one by one, they entered his life. C.D....the man he loved like a father. Trivette...the man he loved like a brother. Alex...the woman he loved more than life itself. And now...the unborn child that Alex carried safely, nestled inside her body. He was totally amazed at how much he already loved their child. HIS FAMILY! Walker turned his tear filled eyes skyward, thanking the great spirit above for giving him everything he ever wanted in his life; the very people he now held so near and dear to his heart. “Walker...come on. I need your help out here.” Alex called out as she was once again hit by a flying snow ball. Quickly wiping the tears from his eyes, he hurried to his wife’s side; stooping to scoop up a handful of snow. “Are you all right Walker?” she asked concerned; having noticed the last remaining hint of tears in his eyes. “I couldn’t be better sweet heart.” Walker replied, as he winged the snow ball in Trivette’s direction; hitting him squarely in the middle of the chest. “You know Alex, you were right.” “Right about what?” she inquired, as he gathered her in his strong and loving arms. Dropping his lips tenaciously down to claim hers, he whispered ecstatically against them...“Dreams really do come true if you want them badly enough.” As their kiss deepened, they both ignored the snow balls that rained unheeded all around them, as they were once again caught up in; and gloriously carried away by, their undying love for each other.
