One Year Later

"Ho-Ho-Ho Merry Christmas!" he cheers, as the crowd goes wild at the first sight of Santa.

Its nine thirty in the morning, and Edward is the epitome of a morning person much to your chagrin. That fact is the only thing you loathe about the frequent sleepovers you've had there this past year.

He smiles at you beneath a fake white beard and your heart flutters.

The photographer dressed like an elf places you strategically next to him on the arm of the big throne. The bonnet is digging into the skin at the nape of your neck but the little faces eager to sit on Santa's lap make it all worthwhile.

When he approached you about being Mrs. Clause for the morning shift of pictures, you didn't hesitate to agree. He's looking ever so handsome in his stuffed Santa suit and you've got your basket of ribbon tied candy canes to pass out.

He squeezes your thigh and gives the go ahead for the first round of children.

You watch him cater to each child, calm the scared ones, and listen intently to all of their Christmas wishes.

You kiss cheeks of little kids, and leave them giggling shyly, with a pair of red lips on their skin to show off.

The day passes quickly and before you know it, it's time for a shift change.

Edward's stands up to make his announcement.

"But first there's something I have to do."

You're confused. This wasn't part of the plan.

He reaches into one of the deep pockets on his jacket and pulls out a tiny velvet box before he gets down on one knee.

"Mrs. Clause." He smirks. "It's been a magical year for the two of us and I can't imagine my life without you by my side. Would you do the extraordinary honor of becoming my wife?"

He opens the box revealing the prettiest ring you've ever laid eyes on.

You're about to tell him yes, and kiss him senseless, when a little kid waiting in line yells, "Isn't Santa already married to Mrs. Clause?"

Everyone chuckles, including you.

You nod and let him slide the ring on your left hand.

He kisses you and you laugh at the fake white beard between you.

"You are the best thing that's ever happened to me." You tell him.

"You're my first, last, and best,one night stand I've ever had."

thats all folks!
