50 - Christmas Morning

*Please don’t leave me here alone with these crazy people. – Charlotte*
Sid loved being a mom and being a grandmother even more. She hated that her youngest was so far away. But she was back home, and she had brought her man with her. They had arrived on the twenty-third, having to wait for her final exam.
There were only two of their kids staying at the house with Trigg and Sid. Three, if you included Darkness who had come home with Camille. Allison had moved back home after her divorce, which had been delayed and drawn out, finalized only after a threat from the Saints that Sid said she knew nothing about.
As was tradition, most of the grandchildren stayed at Oma and Opa’s house for Christmas Eve. All the bedrooms were full. It was just the way that Sid loved it.
Around four in the morning, she crept into Allison’s room and left her a present on her bed. It was a funny tradition that started with Charlotte when Werewolf was stationed overseas. She had complained about being horny and her mom suggested a toy.
Charlotte had turned bright red at the thought of buying one. Sid ordered one and snuck it into her daughter’s room early Christmas morning.
Now all the adult girls receive a new one each year for Christmas. They were always wrapped in naughty paper and delivered separately. The ones that lived in their own houses would find theirs when they got home. Sid always claimed innocence and that they were from ‘Naughty Clause’ and not her.
Slipping out of Allison’s room, Sid went down the hall and quietly opened Camille’s door. Darkness lay on his back on the floor and Camille lay on her side at the edge of the bed. It looked as though they had been talking when she finally drifted off to sleep.
Tink lay curled up next to Darkness, which said a lot to Sid. He lifted his head a little and his short tail gave a few soft thumps.
Sid placed the box at the foot of the bed and bent down to give the dog a quick scratch. Then she quietly slipped back out of the room.
Trigg was still asleep as she crawled back in bed. “Trigg.”
Rolling towards his wife, he pulled her close to him. “Don’t tell me the kids are up already.”
“No. Darkness is sleeping on the floor.”
This had his eyes popping open and sitting up. “Did they have a fight?”
“I don’t think so.”
“I’ll talk to him.” Trigg murmured as he laid back down and pulled his wife to him.
“*Schat*,” she murmured.
“Don’t *Darling* me in any language. I want the grandbabies, but I also don’t want to think about *how* we get those grandbabies.”
With a huff, she settled herself against his bare chest.
“Did Naughty Clause bring you anything?” he asked with a light kiss behind her ear.
“We’ll have to check after all the grandbabies go home later.”
“Let’s get the kids up and the hell out of here.”
“They’ll be up soon enough,” Sid assured her husband.
It was less than an hour later that his phone chirped an alert from the alarm. His kids were arriving, and the grandkids would soon be up. Groaning, Trigg rolled over and silenced the app. Sid leaned over him and gave him a light kiss.
“Let’s get the kids up and the hell out of here.”
Grinning, he pulled her down for another kiss. “That’s a good plan.”
With a promise of letting him have his way with her after the grandbabies left, she slid out of the master bedroom downstairs in her Christmas pajamas. She heard him groaning behind her as she flipped up her shirt and tugged down her pants briefly.
“Woman!” he warned as she laughed and headed upstairs to wake everyone up.
The light rap on the door had Darkness moving in the darkened room and found Camille already awake. She smiled at him before turning on the bedside lamp.
“Merry Christmas,” she said quietly.
He sat up and kissed her. “It is now.” He said against her lips before kissing her again.
He needed so much more than just kisses. He needed her. To be in her. Taste her. Feel her. But he would not have their first time together be in her parents’ house. With a hall filled with nieces and nephews.
Standing up and stretching, Darkness saw the box on the bed. “Looks like Santa was here.”
Camille laughed. “That’s from Naughty Claus.”
“Naughty Claus?” he asked, picking it up. “Are those snowflakes made out of cocks and balls?”
“Probably.” She said getting out of bed and pulling on her pajama pants to match her Christmas dog shirt. “It’s a vibrator.”
“Really?” he asked, looking at her with dark eyes.
“Yeah. Naughty Claus gives one to each of us every year.” She picked up the boxes from the last two years that were still wrapped in paper with snowmen in various sex positions and pole dancing polar bears.
“You haven’t opened them?” he asked, and she shook her head. “Do you not like toys?”
“I’ve never used one.” She said softly as he moved towards her.
He tossed the box on the bed and cupped the back of her head bringing her to him and tipping her head back. “Any particular reason?”
Something flickered across her face, and she bit her bottom lip. “No.”
“Will you take them home with us?”
She nodded slightly and he smiled at her.
“I would love to watch you make yourself come.” Darkness admitted just before he kissed her. She dropped the boxes back in the drawer and slid her arms around his neck. His free arm wrapped around her waist and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist.
The bedroom door flung open and her nine-year-old niece, Esme, jumped inside causing Tink to pop up at attention.
“Tinkerbelle!” Sid called from the chaos of the hallway. “Esme! You can’t scare him like that.”
“Quit sucking faces!” Esme demanded. “It’s Christmas!”
Darkness chuckled as Camille buried her face in his neck. “Come on, Tink, let’s go see what Santa brought you.”
“Did you get my dog a present?” she asked as he carried her out of the room.
“Maybe.” He replied as they went down the stairs.
The sun was up, and the living room was destroyed with tissue paper, bags, wrapping paper and boxes. Werewolf and Charlotte’s oldest son was helping his cousin pick up trash as the younger kids played. Darkness disappeared for a moment and then returned and sat back in the same chair. Camille sat on the floor with her right shoulder propped against the chair. Her new tattoo was on her left shoulder and still tender.
“I almost forgot this one.” He handed a small box to Camille.
“You already gave me a present.” She whispered as she took the small box.
“I know. Come sit with me.”
Camille scrambled up into his lap before tearing into the professionally wrapped box. Inside she found a small jewelry box holding the necklace he had shown Zydeco.
“You gave me stars.” She whispered as tears filled her eyes. Carefully taking it out of the box, she asked, “Will you put it on me?”
“Of course.” He accepted the necklace from her and clasped it around her neck. “You like it?”
“Yes.” She gave him a light kiss. “I did something.”
“What did you do?”
Camille shifted in his lap and presented her back to him. Carefully she lifted her shirt exposing the intricate tattoo.
A fairy sat on a mushroom with one foot on the mushroom and the other dipped into a puddle of water causing small ripples. The night sky was filled with the stars forming the Virgo constellation which reflected the Aquarius constellation in the water. Elegant writing was above and below.
*I belong to the Darkness… that’s where the stars shine brightest*
He leaned in and gently kissed her back just above his name. “Turn around, little Cam.”
She moved in his lap so that she was straddling him. Camille looked down at her hands that were nervously clasped together between them. Darkness tipped her face up with a knuckle under her chin. Her eyes remained downcast.
“Look at me, my beautiful little light.” He said gently and her eyes slowly met his. “Some might see that as a property tattoo.”
“I know.” She whispered.
“I hope you like backless shirts.”
“Why?”
“Because I want the world to know that I belong to you.”
“You’re not mad?”
“No, baby. There’s a patch for you back in Louisiana. You know what it says?”
“Property of Darkness.”
“I never made one before. I never wanted anyone to be my property before.”
“Why?” she asked quietly.
Just as expected, he answered with, “I’ll let you think on that for a bit longer.”
